Highly-rated overnight sitters - Oakwood Village
“Daisy and her family are wonderful! They just loved on Sadie like their own. I think Sadie suffered a little withdrawal from playing with the other dogs for a week when she came home. She missed her buddies and her home away from home. A week later she is going back for another overnight stay!”
“Angel was amazing! She is not only an exceptional caretaker but knowledgeable, reliable, efficient & devoted. She is professional yet friendly & stayed in contact with us - communication was open not forced. She was available to work around my schedule on very short notice. Demonstrated enormous love & compassion for animals. Her rates are very reasonable for the services she provides. I had a true feeling of trust & peace of mind when leaving my Bubba. You will be dog-gone happy choosing Angel for your caretaking needs 🐾🐶”
“Willow enjoyed her time with Amber and her family. They loved on her the entire weekend. She had so much fun that she is worn out and has been sleeping soundly since we got home. I would definitely use her again.”
“Ms. Tami was absolutely amazing! I reached out with a last-minute booking request, and she was incredibly accommodating. She took excellent care of my dog George, kept me updated, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated my George like family. I truly appreciate her flexibility, kindness, and outstanding care. I would definitely book with Ms. Tami again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!”
“Nicole took such good care of my boy Sunshine. She went above and beyond to help him spend his first week away from me including helping him with eating and sleeping anxiety. She sent me messages and pics or videos every day to let me know how he was doing. He was clearly having a ton of fun playing with her sweet pups in her lovely and safe back yard and her cozy home. She is a true dog lover and Sunshine came home happy and exhausted! I will definitely contact her again in the future.”
About: We have a 9 year old mixed breed and a 4 year old mixed breed. I have cared for many family members' and friends' animals. Skilled in training, grooming, and loving all breeds and sizes of dog! I am able to work from home during the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I am open to all schedules at this time. We own our home with a partially fenced yard and a dog line. My husband is also a dog-lover, and we are both very active with animals. Our dogs are very friendly with others, and they love to play and cuddle with friends.
“Ashlee was wonderful with my dogs. She loved on them like they were her own. One was a 5-month old puppy full of energy which required extra attention. She spoiled him and bought him to baby pool as she noticed that he loved water! She also bathe and washed bedding for both dogs before I picked them up. It was so nice not having to clean them when we got home. I highly recommend her if you want a worry free vacation.”
“Claudia watched Junior while I was on a vacation overseas. He got along so well with her and her fur baby that I had no concerns while I was away. She sent tons of pics letting me know he was having a good time. Lastly, I had some issues that affected my pick up time & she was very understanding of the situation. Highly recommend & I would book future stays with Claudia.”
“Very friendly and accommodating. Great care given to my spoiled and separation anxiety dog. They refused to give up on her! I offered multiple times to come get her but they dealt with her spoiled behavior and anxiety from being away from me. I never knew this was an issue! We are going to attend training (mostly for me) as I learn how to not let her be with me all of the time. These people are saints and I would definitely book again with them,but only after wete trainedbetter to be fair to sitters! Thank you both! You deserve an award for the great care you gave my spoiled girl!”
About: I have a golden retriever puppy of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’ve also had plenty of experience dog and cat sitting, and I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and energy levels. During visits, I make sure your pet gets everything they need—meals, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I work part-time as a counselor, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. On days I don’t have client sessions, I have even more daytime availability and can often accommodate additional or last-minute visits. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits and do my best to stay consistent with your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I take time to understand each pet’s personality—whether they need extra playtime or a calm, gentle approach—and always make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own space.
“This was my very first time boarding my 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Biscuit. I originally booked only 2 nights with Kristi but ended up extending for another night because my plans were disrupted by traffic and an accident on the way back from Chicago to Ohio. Kristi is very accommodating, and I can honestly say that her whole family took excellent care of Biscuit. She constantly kept me updated with texts, photos, and videos of Biscuit, which made me feel very at ease. Thank you so much, Kristi! I will definitely contact you again to board Biscuit with you!”
“Hatsuki is the sweetest and kindest sitter I’ve ever had! Gizmo was very happy, I could tell he was well loved and taken care of by all the amazing photos and updates she provided. I am extremely grateful for the genuine care and kindness! Thank you!”
“Vanessa made my girls feel right at home. They loved playing with her dogs in her large backyard! She handled medicine, meal times, and introductions like a pro! I was very nervous leaving them with a new sitter but we will definitely be back!! She truly cares for them as if they were her own”
“Kyri was fantastic, lots of communication, wonderful home, great personality, no complaints at all, I dare say Buck wants to go back and have more fun with friends”
“Jennifer treats your dog as if they're part of her own family. Her genuine love for animals truly shine through. We were beyond impressed with her care and attention! We'll absolutely be back!”
“Skippy loves to go stay with Paige! She does a great job and sends pictures and updates. Great communication. Nice fenced in back yard! Will definitely look for Paige the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Kimberly is great! She is very quick at responding and giving updates (including photos). We noticed our dog came back very comfortable and relaxed. We are already booking again! Thank you very much Kimberly!”

“Jenna was EXCEPTIONAL!!! She took the best care of our cat, Lilly! Our kitty is very shy, but she came out for Jenna which made us so happy! We are booking her for the rest of our trips this year! We HIGHLY recommend Jenna for a pet sitter!”
“Maddie quickly won over all of our cats, even the most shy girl of the bunch! She is friendly, communicative, and observant of the pets in her care. I will definitely be booking Maddie in the future because I know our girls will be in great hands with her.”
“Lisa did a great job! After meeting Lisa, I felt secure leaving our cat KC in good hands. Communication was excellent. She even made sure we made it home okay and all was good. I will be using Lisa's services again soon!”

About: I have experience caring for neighborhood cats and I have watched family and friend cats a few times over the years. I am allergic to cats so overnight is not ideal but I still love them and am willing to care for them over shorter periods!
“Krista took fantastic care of my kitty, Girly, while I was away on vacation. She sent pictures every day, so that I could see Girly was happy and doing great. This is the second time she has taken care of Girly, and both times I was able to relax and enjoy my vacations knowing Girly was in very good hands. Thanks Krista!”
“Jayson did absolutely amazing with my 3 pups this week and they get excited to see him for their drop in visits! I’m glad they didn’t scare him away so he can keep doing drop in visits with them 🐶🐶🐶”
“Shannon was very communicative while we were gone! She sent photos, and gave me an update every time she visited! She even went above and beyond, cleaning the litter area so I wouldn't come home to a mess! I will definitely be working with her in the future!”

Everyone gets along great.
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats with special needs. I understand that cats have unique personalities and require a more gentle, patient approach compared to dogs. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers more independent time, I’m great at reading their cues and providing the care they need. I’m experienced in administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for them. I take pride in creating a calm and stress-free space where cats feel safe and loved.
About: I’ve taken care of cats both in and outside of veterinary care! I’ve worked with socializing kittens through their early months in life and helping sharpe young kittens. I also have experience caring for senior cats and giving them their medications. I ensure that your cat is happy and all their needs are met when I take care of them. For boarding, I have a full cage to provide a feeling of safety being in an unknown place. I also have a litter box and toys already but you’re able to bring whatever your kitty may need.
About: I have had puppies and dogs in my life for the last 32 years. My life would not be complete without them. Currently I have a treeing walker coon hound who is full of energy. My lab just recently passed away. She was almost 13 years old. Being able to help people out by making sure their dogs or cats are loved and exercised would be so rewarding for me. I’m a nurse who works part time two days a week. I’m looking forward to filling the rest of my week with pet care appointments. I will respect your home and privacy and be sure and agree upon set instructions before entering and leaving. I will effectively communicate prior to and after each visit.

“Nicole was wonderful taking care of my greyhound, Buttercup. There was excellent communication before and during the visit and as someone like myself that hasn’t taken a dog for daycare, I was so happy how easy it was with your service. My dog loved Nicole and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I am an Art grad student and currently working on my thesis at home. I have a 3 years old dog named Mischa, who is the best part of my life. I will provide everything for your dogs, the same as I provide for my dog. He is 90lb, so I am pretty okay with the huge dogs, when I take care of them I take them to a walk at least twice a day, pulse plays with them at home. If the owner is okay I would love to take them to the dog park with my dogs. I provide the same environments for your dogs when you are not around for a short time. I hope I get a chance to meet your dog. Thanks, Safa
“Kristol was the perfect dog sitter. Very warm and welcoming to us and our fur babies. My dog had never been to a dog sitter before, but everything was perfect. My dog felt very comfortable there and did great. Kristol sent several photos, which made me feel better. I would use Kristol's service anytime I could. Recommend her highly.”

About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong passion for animals and a dream of growing my own pet care business.

I have high-energy pups of my own who absolutely love making new friends and playing with other animals. Because safety is my top priority, I only accept dogs that are friendly, social, and well-behaved around other dogs. Your pup will enjoy tons of supervised playtime on our fully fenced-in acre of land, including separate fenced areas for independent play and relaxation if needed. I believe every dog deserves love, attention, enrichment, and lots of fun while you’re away. I also offer free light grooming for overnight stays if requested, and I love making homemade pet treats for my furry guests! Animal rescue and helping pets in need has always been close to my heart, and I treat every dog like part of the family.

About: I provide dependable, attentive, and structured care for dogs in a clean, safe, and calm home environment. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and needs—from high-energy breeds to more relaxed companions. I previously helped manage a "Star-Sitter boarding setup on another account, where I was directly involved in daily care, feeding routines, exercise, and maintaining a stress-free environment for every dog. Now that I’m continuing on my own, I’m committed to delivering that same level of quality care and consistency. What sets me apart is attention to detail and reliability. I understand how important routine, supervision, and communication are when it comes to your pet. I specialize in elderly pets and puppies as there have been many neighbors that need medication on a regular basis. I will certainly provide your family member with the proper schedule for their needs. Dogs in my care receive: Consistent feeding and exercise schedules Clean, well-maintained spaces with private areas if requested Close supervision and safe handling Photo updates so you know your dog is doing well I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and respect for their individual needs. If you’re looking for someone responsible, experienced, and straightforward who will take care of your dog the right way, I’d be a great fit. Conveniently located off E. National Rd. (Highway 40) Dogs in my care follow a structured but relaxed routine that keeps them comfortable, active, and stress-free. Mornings start with potty breaks, fresh water, and feeding based on your dog’s normal schedule. After that, I provide light exercise or playtime depending on their energy level—whether that’s a walk, supervised yard time, or indoor engagement. Throughout the day, I’m home and available, so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods. I keep a close eye on behavior, comfort, and safety while giving them attention, interaction, and rest as needed. I adjust the pace of the day to fit each dog—some need more activity, others prefer a calm environment. Midday includes additional potty breaks, playtime, or relaxation depending on the dog’s routine. I maintain consistency with feeding schedules, water, and any special instructions you provide. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and those that require medication, and I’m comfortable following specific care routines to make sure they stay healthy and comfortable. Evenings include another round of activity or relaxation, feeding if needed, and a calm wind-down before bedtime. Overall, my goal is to provide a safe, structured, and attentive environment where your dog feels comfortable and well cared for—just like they would at home. I’m home throughout the day, so dogs are rarely left alone and always supervised. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid back, I adjust the environment to fit their needs. I also have a well-behaved mini Australian Shepherd who acts as a friendly companion for social dogs. He’s great at reading other dogs and helps create a balanced, comfortable environment—but I always introduce dogs properly and keep safety as the top priority; we will introduce them during the meet & great prior to the stay. For dogs that need extra care, I have experience with senior pets and administering medication, and I’m comfortable following detailed care plans to make sure they stay healthy and comfortable.
About: I have a degree in veterinary technology and used to work in clinics and veterinary ER. I personally have three dogs, three guinea pigs a bearded dragon and am fostering a kitten. I take the care of animals to heart and cater my approach to each of their personalities. I can perform CPR if needed and am able to administer medications and help with any specialized needs. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and can meet their needs. I also can manage exotic animals. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I keep my dogs on somewhat of a routine as I have semi high energy breeds. Though we do lounge around at home when they’re feeling lazy. I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home. I worked in the veterinary field through college and retired in 2024. All that knowledge stays with me and I continue to stay up to date on animal care. You will get regular photo updates of your babies during my drop in’s and/or boarding.
“Angel is very good with dogs, caring and empathetic to their needs. She was also friendly and helpful to us personally as out-of-towners. Hers is more of a boarding situation with a separate building and individual kennels with several dogs present. This was intimidating for both of our smaller dogs, especially our rescue, but they calmed after a bit. Angel did put them in a back kennel away from the other dogs which helped.”
About: We have had all three of our mini schnauzers since birth so we have plenty of experience with puppies. I have been around dogs all my life. I'm currently a stay at home mom so I am very flexible with scheduling and late notice boarding. I am available to take in your pet any day of the week. I have a fenced yard with three friendly mini schnauzers to keep your pet company. They are all neutered and spayed and ready for a play mate, but they also love to sleep.
“We are beyond grateful that Katherine took in our pugs for a couple hours! It was last minute. As soon my pugs were inside they felt comfortable walking around by themselves. We immediately felt relieved and trusted Katherine and her husband. They were wonderful. They updated us and our pugs loved them! Their house was dog friendly too! We appreciate everything they did for us💙 100% recommend💙💙”
“Jeanie was so sweet and excited to have my senior pup! She sent me a couple pictures and an update to ease my mind dropping him off somewhere new. Xavier did great at her house and I could tell he was very comfortable with her when I picked him up. I’m super thankful to have found her in a pinch. Now, I know I can drop him off again!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and have been a dog lover almost my whole life. We have helped train 3 dogs and each of them are now amazing in their own way! We have also cared for so many of our friends and family members dogs in our home and in theirs. We have a large fenced in yard as well for them to run around and play fetch a lot! Our golden retriever specifically loves this so much! I’m currently working part time, early in the mornings, so I would have plenty of time throughout the rest of the day to attend to and love for your doggos! My wife, Hannah would also be able to help play with and care for them, especially if they are staying here for the day! But either way, they would get so much love and attention, that’s a guarantee! I have a large, fenced in yard with 2 other dogs that would be such great company to yours! If I’d be visiting your doggos in your home or giving them a walk, they would get the attention and love they deserve!
“Nate & Whitney were amazing! This was my first time using Rover and it was very last minute. The two were so accommodating and my pup, Miller had a blast with them. They sent pictures & updates throughout the time with him. He also got to go on a nice long walk and played lots of fetch. Would definitely recommend and will be using Nate & Whitney again!”
“Wow! Incredible! I hesitate to leave an awesome review because she was so unlike any other sitter and I want her all for my dog. Hatsuki is on another level. I went to do an introductory meet and greet. Her house was immaculate, very clean and organized. Hatsuki had printed (let me say it again, she printed a sheet!) a profile of clutch so she can make notes about his needs. Again this was just a meet and greet, she also made a thumb drive with a tag that had clutch’s name. This was so she can give me all the pictures she would take including the ones she would send me as updates throughout the day. Thank you Hatsuki you were amazing!”
About: I’ve always been exceptionally empathetic towards animals, and I’d like your pets to feel as if they’re on vacation when they’re with me. When I first started rover, an owner saw how well I cared for their dogs, and they became like my second family during college. I still visit after moving away. My family dog is a husky, so I can take on big energetic dogs, and my first dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier with medical problems, so I know how to administer medication if needed (I have a background in the medical field as well). You can have a stress free day knowing your animals are safe and well cared for with me. I will be with your pet the entire stay, so you don’t ever have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I live in a townhouse, so I have two levels, making it larger than your average apartment. I also have a back yard with a lead allowing your dog to run around without being hand held on a leash for every potty break. I also enjoy to walk the dogs around the complex, as they get “new information” and excitement from smelling new experiences around them.
About: My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends for years. Ive had many different pets as a kid such as hamsters, dogs. cats, bunnies and a "miniature" lol (so we thought) potbelly pig. I have done stop in's to feed, let out, walk, overnighters, walks, vet appointments and grooming appointments etc, I am open to help with what you need for your pet. Your pet will always have lots of attention and affection. I am currently working Mon, wed and Friday till 3pm. I have Tuesday and Thursday available as well as weekends free. I can be very flexible. How I love and spoil mine will be how I treat yours! Everything I can do to meet the needs of your pet to assure they are safe, comfortable, and love.

I have recently joined the Rover community and I am excited for this new experience! I do work a part-time job so my availability often differs by the day but I still have plenty of time for pet care! The earlier I am requested and care is planned out, the better I will be able to adjust my schedule to your needs! I have plenty of experience caring for pets, majority dogs, in their own home and my goal is always to make them feel comfortable in their space!

If the owner is okay I would love to take them to the dog park with my dogs. I provide the same environments for your dogs when you are not around for a short time. I hope I get a chance to meet your dog. Thanks, Safa

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I’m great at adapting to each pet’s personality—whether they need extra exercise and play, a bit of training, or just a cozy lap to snuggle on.

“Daisy and her family are wonderful! They just loved on Sadie like their own. I think Sadie suffered a little withdrawal from playing with the other dogs for a week when she came home. She missed her buddies and her home away from home. A week later she is going back for another overnight stay!”
“Angel was amazing! She is not only an exceptional caretaker but knowledgeable, reliable, efficient & devoted. She is professional yet friendly & stayed in contact with us - communication was open not forced. She was available to work around my schedule on very short notice. Demonstrated enormous love & compassion for animals. Her rates are very reasonable for the services she provides. I had a true feeling of trust & peace of mind when leaving my Bubba. You will be dog-gone happy choosing Angel for your caretaking needs 🐾🐶”
“Willow enjoyed her time with Amber and her family. They loved on her the entire weekend. She had so much fun that she is worn out and has been sleeping soundly since we got home. I would definitely use her again.”
“Nicole took such good care of my boy Sunshine. She went above and beyond to help him spend his first week away from me including helping him with eating and sleeping anxiety. She sent me messages and pics or videos every day to let me know how he was doing. He was clearly having a ton of fun playing with her sweet pups in her lovely and safe back yard and her cozy home. She is a true dog lover and Sunshine came home happy and exhausted! I will definitely contact her again in the future.”

“Ashlee was wonderful with my dogs. She loved on them like they were her own. One was a 5-month old puppy full of energy which required extra attention. She spoiled him and bought him to baby pool as she noticed that he loved water! She also bathe and washed bedding for both dogs before I picked them up. It was so nice not having to clean them when we got home. I highly recommend her if you want a worry free vacation.”
“Very friendly and accommodating. Great care given to my spoiled and separation anxiety dog. They refused to give up on her! I offered multiple times to come get her but they dealt with her spoiled behavior and anxiety from being away from me. I never knew this was an issue! We are going to attend training (mostly for me) as I learn how to not let her be with me all of the time. These people are saints and I would definitely book again with them,but only after wete trainedbetter to be fair to sitters! Thank you both! You deserve an award for the great care you gave my spoiled girl!”
About: I have a golden retriever puppy of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’ve also had plenty of experience dog and cat sitting, and I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and energy levels. During visits, I make sure your pet gets everything they need—meals, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m reliable and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I work part-time as a counselor, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week. On days I don’t have client sessions, I have even more daytime availability and can often accommodate additional or last-minute visits. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits and do my best to stay consistent with your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I take time to understand each pet’s personality—whether they need extra playtime or a calm, gentle approach—and always make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own space.
“Kristi did amazing with my dog. She sent me videos while Millie, my dog, was staying there which was very nice and relaxed me during my trip knowing what she was up to and to see she was okay. Millie is a very anxious dog especially around new people and when at new places but Kristi said after the second day Millie calmed down and really got comfortable with her and her family and i could definitely tell when i picked her up. I will definitely be taking Millie back whenever i leave on vacation or if i need a day sitter for her.”

“This was my very first time boarding my 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Biscuit. I originally booked only 2 nights with Kristi but ended up extending for another night because my plans were disrupted by traffic and an accident on the way back from Chicago to Ohio. Kristi is very accommodating, and I can honestly say that her whole family took excellent care of Biscuit. She constantly kept me updated with texts, photos, and videos of Biscuit, which made me feel very at ease. Thank you so much, Kristi! I will definitely contact you again to board Biscuit with you!”
“Vanessa made my girls feel right at home. They loved playing with her dogs in her large backyard! She handled medicine, meal times, and introductions like a pro! I was very nervous leaving them with a new sitter but we will definitely be back!! She truly cares for them as if they were her own”
“Kyri was fantastic, lots of communication, wonderful home, great personality, no complaints at all, I dare say Buck wants to go back and have more fun with friends”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
