“HAPPY Dog… - Happy Dog Daddy!!! If my dog is happy…- I’m happy! She cares for your dogs as if they are her own! She’s kind, personable, and loves caring for dogs! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her service again! Thank you for taking such great care of my dog! ❤️”
“Linda was phenomenal. She lovingly cared for our dog and it showed. Without any hesitation I would recommend her to care for someone's pet as you can see she is a caring person and loves animals. Linda was in daily contact with me and sent lots of photos which made me smile everyday seeing how well my pup was cared for. Thank you Linda, your the best ❤️”
About: As a devoted dog mom, I understand that pets are family. Caring for Molly and Thor every day has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, loving environment where every dog feels comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they receive personalized care. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in caring hands. I work from home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already part of my daily routine, so your pet will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, meals on schedule, and lots of love. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their furry family member is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play under supervision. When a new dog arrives, I keep them separated from my own dogs at first so everyone has time to adjust comfortably. If all dogs are relaxed and interactions go well, I gradually introduce them in a safe, supervised way. If a dog prefers their own space, I’m happy to keep them separated throughout their stay. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and every dog is treated with patience, kindness, and love like family.
“Sandra was the best! Sending pictures and updates everyday! Butters had the best care possible. I will book again in the future. Thank you very much providing best care.”
“Lila took great care of my sister and I's dogs. She was very responsive and sent a picture everytime I checked in, which was quite a bit because my dog is my world. I will totally reccomend others to use Lila to watch your fur babies!”
“Faniza took great care of our two year old whippet while we were out of town for three days! She replied quickly, greeted us at 0700 and communicated thoroughly throughout the length of the stay with texts, photos and videos. I would definitely take our dog to stay with her again.”
“Katherine took care of Buster while I was out of town. Buster suffers from bad anxiety and does not travel well. Katherine’s care allowed Buster to remain in a familiar environment and familiar faces. I could tell he was sad to see her go. I will definitely reach out to Katherine in the future to care for Buster.”
“We had a wonderful pet-sitting experience with Nelieze! Our dog, Lulu, was exceptionally well cared for and loved while we were away. Nelieze was amazing—kind, reliable, accommodating, and attentive to Lulu’s needs. She kept us updated and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our furry family member was in great hands. We picked up a happy, well-cared-for pup. We highly recommend Nelieze to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Brianna is AMAZING! We absolutely love when Maddie gets to stay with her! She is safe, well cared for, has a blast and we know she manages her diabetes and insulin with care and attention! She sends lots of pictures and videos and keeps me informed with how she is doing! She is the absolute best!”
About: He tenido criado y cuidado perros de raza pequeña y mediana toda mi vida adulta. Amo los perritos y sé lo importante que son para nosotros. Trabajo 3 días a la semana. Tengo tiempo de sobra para dedicarle atención a los perritos. Me encanta darle amor y cuidados. Verlos felices Tengo jardin vallado y un patio techado muy cómodo donde pueden jugar, tomar sol y correr. Soy dueña de 4 perritos Maltese muy amigables y juguetones.
“Heidi was great. I got turned down several times due to my boy being a pitbull. She didn't hesitate and agreed to take him in. I highly recommend to anyone in need of a special someone to care for their extended family member.”
“Bill and Krista took great care of our dog. They were also flexible when we experienced delays in our return travel. We would happily have them care for our dog again!”
“Yalessa took such great care of our pup! She had a blast and was very spoiled! Yalessa clearly really cares about animals in her care. She sent constant updates and even expressed concerns as they arose. She asked permission before exposing our pup to different things. She truly paid great attention to our baby! She came home smiling!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ocala
Jada is AWESOME, like I have been with rover.com for over 5 years now and had many sitters for my fur baby and they were great. But Jada, was outstanding not 10 minutes of my pup being in her care a started receiving pictures and videos and throughout the entire stay. Her son and her are very welcoming and she has a great dog too. Jada, was a last minute booking and she exceeded my expectations of a fur baby sitter. She’s very friendly, respectful, understanding and has a loving personality great energy and very social almost like I met a friend. Jada comes highly recommended. I will definitely use her again only sitter for my pup.

There are 360 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Ocala. About 94% of Ocala sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 pet, 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
