About: What truly sets me apart is the heart and hands-on experience I bring to every pet I care for. As someone who has raised and loved three dogs of my own, I understand firsthand the deep bond between pets and their people. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — and I don’t take that lightly. My experience ranges from caring for energetic puppies to providing gentle support for senior dogs with special needs. I’ve handled everything from potty training and socialization to administering medications and creating calm routines for older pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, and I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. I don’t see this as just a job — I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or just offering companionship, I’m happy to provide the same level of love and attention I give my own dogs. Pets in my home enjoy plenty of safe space to run and explore in my fenced half-acre yard. I give them lots of attention, exercise, and make sure to follow their individual routines to keep them happy and comfortable.
“Laura loves dogs and does a fantastic job of making everyone feel great about the experience!!! She is so quick with communication and sent some very good pictures. We could even see Beau prancing and smiling so we knew he was having a great time.”
“Willow had a great time and enjoyed playing in the backyard and other dogs. Diana was easy to find and allowed us to spend the day at Universal without worrying about our dog.”
“Manny and Jessica accepted our last minute sitting request which we are so grateful for!. Manny is super nice and was flexible with our timing. Buck had a great time playing and had no hesitation making himself right at home as soon as we arrived. Made me feel very comfortable.”
About: I have 20+ years of experience. I started caring for other people’s pets as well as my own when I was 9 years old. I have experience in basic training, leash walking, interactive playtime, potty schedule, food amount per size, dietary restrictions and medication needs, and bathing. I can accommodate drop offs and pick ups in 30-minute slots from 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. I am a virtual high school teacher with a flexible schedule. I spend most of my days at home, allowing me to provide your 4-legged family member with unlimited supervision, playtime/rest, and potty breaks. My work-from-home schedule is 10:00am-6:30pm. If I were to leave, it would be to the gym. However, I would do my best to plan accordingly so I do not have outside commitments when pet sitting. My goal is to treat your pet as my own, making sure they feel loved and cared for. My home has a fenced yard for the loving furbabies to play. It is also a quiet neighborhood so the walks are relaxing. When pets stay with me they have their own guest room which is also my office so they will be with me all day and night. There are 2 XXL crates (approx. 4’x3’), 2 large, and 1 medium which can be prepped for use if needed or recommended by owner.
“Kailyn was great with Marshall! Very warm and welcoming - excited to have him. Her communication is prompt and professional. She is pleasant to deal with and made drop off and pick up very easy for my husband. We can tell Marshall had a great day! We will be using Kailyn again soon!”
“Nola and her husband were great with my 3 fur babies! They have a beautiful home and a great yard space safe for them to play and run around! They were happy and content when I went to pick them up. I would highly recommend her for your fur babies!”
“I have had Bailey stay with Tifany and her family a couple of times, and each time she has ensured that Bailey felt right at home with her other pups! Tifany makes sure her home is clean and dog friendly. Tifany has an outdoor area also ready for the dogs to play and have fun. If they get dirty, Tifany washes them so they come home clean as well as exhausted. She communicates regularly throughout your dog’s stay with pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Tifany and her husband!”
“Kobe loved daycare at Lorraine’s house! She also sent several pictures and videos throughout the day which was super awesome. I would only be in Ocala every once in a while for work but I definitely know where Kobe will go next time I’m here. Thanks so much Lorraine!”
About: Why is my price so competitive? I keep my rates lower because inflation has pushed pet‑service costs to levels that no longer make sense for everyday pet owners. Many boarding facilities now charge prices that rival or even exceed the cost of an Airbnb, which I believe is unreasonable. My pricing reflects a commitment to fairness—quality pet lodging shouldn’t break your travel budget. Working remotely allows me to attend to you pets at the highest level with frequent breaks to go outside and stretch, run, and play! I look forward to having a co-worker snoozing next to me. Having a one acre FENCED yard will be your dogs dream. They will always be constantly monitored when they are outside exploring, sniffing and urinating on everything. I live in a low density neighborhood. The traffic is usually 1-2 cars per hour on my street.
“Ruben & brendalee were amazing my dogs absolutely loved them and the kids. This is the first time ive used this service but I Definitely found my dog sitter any time I need one! 😁”
“We truly could not have asked for a better experience! The care and attention our little Dolly received was absolutely incredible, and it was clear from the start that she was in the best hands. The updates and the amazing photos meant the world to us. We loved seeing how happy, relaxed, and well loved our Dolly was. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was being treated like family. We are beyond grateful and would recommend Lauren to anyone.”
“Katie (and her family!) are the BESTESSESSESS!! This was the first time we left our puppy with a stranger or ever used Rover so I was a bit anxious. She did a meet n greet with us to relieve some nerves. She sent pictures every day. Each day Riley went she was pulling me out of the car tail wagging running to the front door. I'm so grateful for Katie, we were able to enjoy our vacation and know our puppy was safe and being loved on!!!!”
“Dennis has been great with my 3 month old Chocolate lab puppy. Romeo really seems to enjoy being with him. I greatly appreciate his patience when deal with a puppy and flexibility to accommodate my change in schedule as an educator. Thank so very much.”
About: Hello, call me Neli! I have had my small Shih Tzu, Ellie, for about 9 years now and I have had a previous beagle and basset hound. My mom also owns 3 pitbulls so I am familiar with that type of breed. When it comes to any type of dog, I do my best to take care of them. I have been on Rover for about 5 years now :) I do work a part time job that is only a few hours in the morning mostly, but it is not every day so just message me about availability because most likely I will be free ☺️ I am available most of the time during the week and also weekends!. I am flexible and will do my best to take care of your needs :) I live in a house with a spacious yard in the back, however, it is unfenced. I live with my grandma who absolutely loves dogs as well
About: I've rescued and rehabilitated six dogs, three became mine. And I've dog/house-sat for friends & family for decades, and now locally via ROVER for a year; I've loved meeting and caring for every dog I've met. And dogs love my fenced yard and the looong walks we take in the acres of trails and woods around my house! I'm formally educated and experienced in animal behavior and comparative psychology. And as a professional conservation biologist, I've spent my career working to protect all animals and their habitats. Caring for dogs is my heart and soul. Please feel free to contact me via ROVER for more information or with any questions. I work from home (complete with a fenced yard) surrounded by many wooded acres for long walks. Dogs welcome day or night, long- or short-term. I'm always here with them. And your dog(s) can either enjoy the company of my two pups, or they can have me, the house, and the yard all to themselves (as my pups love to go stay with their grand-dad down the hill). Boarding dogs can either meet and play with my two pups or they can have me, the house, and the fenced yard to themselves, which ever you/they prefer. The same applies to day-care for dogs.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Marion Oaks is $30

This is the second time Heidi has taken care of mila and I couldn’t be happier! The first time I was a little nervous leaving her with someone new, but Heidi immediately made me feel comfortable and reassured. Now I feel completely at ease whenever mila stays with her. She is caring, attentive, and clearly loves animals. My dog is always happy and well taken care of when she’s with Heidi. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. I highly recommend her! 🩷🩷🩷

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Marion Oaks commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 367 sitters in Marion Oaks, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
