Pet Boarding in Ocala

“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!”

“Lila took such great care of Haze over the weekend while I was away for my daughter’s birthday. She was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Haze was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”

“I can't say enough good things about Linda! It is obvious that she loves the pets she cares for, I was out of the country for 2 weeks. And my girl was spoiled rotten!!! Linda sent videos of her having the time of her life, running on the property and laying on a lounge chair by the pool, and getting attention from Linda and her husband in the house... I know she was well loved and well cared for for. This is my second time using this sitter and I will use her any time I need to go away, even if it's just a couple of days! It's a blessing to have a place where my dog can go.And it feels like a second home or even a vacation to her! Much gratitude and highly recommend.❤️”

About: Hi! I’m a veterinary professional with over 12 years of hands-on experience in animal care, and caring for pets is truly what I love most. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m comfortable handling everything from healthy, active pets to those who need a little extra support. I have experience caring for geriatric pets, special needs animals, and those requiring complex medication routines, including diabetics and other medical conditions. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I offer: • In-home boarding in a safe, structured environment • Drop-in visits in your home • Care tailored to your pet’s specific needs and routine For in-home boarding, I use a “crate and rotate” system when needed. This simply means pets take turns having free time to ensure everyone stays safe, stress-free, and comfortable—especially important when pets don’t already know each other and is very helpful for rescue pets , high anxiety and elderly animals as it offers a more relaxed and one on one environment where they can be as stress free as possible while in my care. During their time out, your pet will get plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, and enrichment, so they’re not missing out on love or activity. I do have children in the home who are taught to respect animals and understand boundaries. For everyone’s safety and comfort, they have little to no direct contact with boarding pets. My priority is maintaining a calm, controlled, and safe environment for every animal in my care. My goal is always to provide a safe, low-stress, and loving environment while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. If your pet has special needs or you just want someone with a trained eye looking after them, I’d love to help! I am employed full time but currently on maternity leave and looking to move to pet sitting full time if possible. If I am unable to currently accommodate a request I will be transparent as I believe every pet should have the care they are accustomed too and deserve ! In my home, I provide a safe, structured, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I use a crate and rotate system because my personal dogs are not always social with others. This ensures that every pet stays safe and comfortable while still receiving plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, enrichment, and proper rest. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any medications or special care they require. In your home, I offer drop-in visits designed to keep your pet comfortable in their own space. During each visit, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, affection, and medication administration if needed. I also keep an eye on your pet’s overall health and behavior, so you have peace of mind while you’re away. With my veterinary background, I’m experienced in caring for senior pets, special needs animals, and those requiring more complex medical care, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment.

“Brendalee and Ruben were so awesome! They took care of my active golden retriever and sent me pictures. I appreciate them for taking care of our fur baby while we traveled. 10/10! Definitely recommend.”

“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!”

“Nola & Rick did a good job looking after Zach and Riley. Both seemed happy and well taken care of during our absence. We especially liked the daily updates with photos of Zach and Riley.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our boy!”

“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.”

“This is our second time using Debra services and she is awesome! During the stay she kept us updated with photos and videos from our baby. Debra is a excellent sitter.”

“Kim was an absolutely lifesaver for our last minute boarding needs! She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with our two pups. It was a breeze dropping them off with her, and we felt that our dogs, and we, were in very capable hands. Our dogs are a little skittish being placed in a situation with new dogs suddenly, but Kim was very contentious and careful with their needs and was able to give them a safe and private place to stay. She can handle the inevitable bumps and hiccups of caring for animals who are acclimating to a unfamiliar place, and our dogs got home safe and sound under Kim's amazing care! We will definitely be seeking her services in the future!”

Angela M.

“Wonderful, caring pet sitter. Pepe and Lola are rescued dogs and, are, many times, afraid of changes. They seemed right at home. She constantly sent me videos and adorable pictures. They played and were themselves. Thank you for your work!!”

“Amazing”

“So happy I found Noah! I know if my dog is being treated well because she shakes if she didn't enjoy her time there. Just left her w Noah a 2nd time & she was happy to see him!”

“My Charlie is very shy and doesn’t like being away from his home. Charlie warmed up to Bill right away. I will not hesitate to leave Charlie with Bill again and confidently recommend him to you.”

My furniture & floors are clean.& pet-friendly with plenty of toys to enjoy. Even a doggy door. Come for a meet & greet and see for yourself.❤️🐶

“We are retired so we travel a lot. We have never boarded our dogs with a more competent dog sitter. Our dogs actually leep out of the car to get to her when we drive in the driveway. Our dogs are English Bulldog Champions and one is intact, but Peggy manages his care profesionally--even on Thanksgiving day. As a vet technician she was also able to administer medication to our older dog. She lives on a farm so there is a lot of area for dogs to run off leash. They don't sleep in a kennel building, they sleep in her house! She is a lovely person with a good heart.”

“Edith was AMAZING! To great care of Lana and Loki. Kept my updated and sent plenty of pictures to ease my worries. She took care of them for an extended time and her family treated them as their family. I will definitely have her care for them again.”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up. Sometimes up to 5 dogs at a time and horses too! So I have lots of experience with animals of various sizes. From chihuahuas and cocker spaniels to German Shepherds and poodles. I currently own a very friendly sterilized full sized golden doodle. He loves all dogs, humans and human puppies and he is down to play non-stop or nap all afternoon. Either one is fine with him. My dog is up to date on vaccines and flea + tick medication. I live in a house on .25 acres with 6ft fenced back yard. Large couch with pup-covers. Kiddie pool available for those who like to swim. Whether your pup is staying with me, or we are going on a walk, they are sure to have fun and I will spoil them just as I would my own! Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m home most of the day. Lots of time for pets and walks. Happy to adapt my schedule to your pups needs. Let me know what the ideal day looks like for them. I have a 1/4 acre yard with a 6ft privacy fence. I also have a large doggie door where my pup can go in and out when they please.
