“Thank you for having our dog Finn. Julia was very nice and sent pictures and video. We love that our dog had other dogs to play with. She took very good care of our dog and we would highly recommend.”
“My dog, Roxie, loves “vacationing” with Katie and her family and pets. Rox is treated like one of the family and has a very good time being around other pets. Roxie and I both highly recommend vacationing with Katie and her crew.”
“Blanca loved her stay with Toni and enjoyed playing with another big dog. She was really treated like part of the family and I know today she misses the attention. I will definitely use Toni again because I know my girl was safe and happy there. Highly recommend!!”
“Erica is the best sitter ever. My dog had health issues when he was there, and she handled it extremely well. She worked with him on a leash, and now I can walk him! I definitely would recommend her!”
“We are repeat clients and so happy to have found Sam. Spencer had a nail accident prior to his sleepover and without hesitation Sam took care of him and gave him his medicine bright and early at 6am. We did not have to worry and loved getting all the photo updates throughout his visit. Thank you Sam!!”
“Maria was great and the house and yard were perfect for Henry. Maria sent pictures and updates every day we were gone. I could tell he was very happy and well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Maria and would not hesitate to rebook (actually we already have)!! Thank you Maria!”
“I appreciated the pictures and videos Lorraine sent me. It eased my mind about leaving my 4 legged baby while I was out of town. Cosita was very calm when I picked her up unlike other times I boarded her at other locations. Lorraine took such good care of her I feel comfortable leaving Cosita with her again.”
“Jessica is simply amazing! She went above and beyond to make our pup feel loved. She even sewed his bed that had some holes! We have already rebooked her for upcoming trips. She is so sweet, knowledge and attentive to every detail. You will feel very comfortable having Jessica watch you fur baby.”
“So grateful for Manny & Jess! I have no family in Ocala that could be with my fur baby while we went away on vacation and Manny & Jess stepped up like family. Took care of my baby boy Robbie as their own with constant updates throughout everyday without me even having to ask. My anxiety was high leaving my baby for the first time but they made it so much easier! I found my doggy sitters anytime needed! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU MANNY & JESS!!”
“Camo thoroughly enjoyed staying with Eileen and Mike and they 2 dogs. We have never had to board her for a week and was worried until I met Eileen and Mike. You can tell they love dogs and Cmo was so at home with them that she fell asleep during our meet and greet! Camo will be going back!”
“June did a superb job with Bentley & followed all of the instructions with his medications & feeding etc. She is obviously a dog lover & I think he got spoiled a bit as today he seems a bit off being back at home! Apparently he decided to get into bed with June to sleep, something he never does at our house! She responded to any questions via text or by phone and kept us informed through videos and photos every day. We would have no problem leaving him again with Miss June.”

“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Dunnellon is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Dunnellon can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dunnellon home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dunnellon.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dunnellon sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
