About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for them and truly enjoy spending time with them. I provide patient, loving care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups. I’m available for boarding seven days a week. I have a good- sized fenced yard and a friendly medium-sized dog to keep your fur baby company. I can also crate your dog if needed.
“Super sweet, lots of communication. I felt super comfortable leaving my baby. I got picture mail throughout, and could tell she and her family genuinely love and care about animals. Will definitely be using again!”
“Becky was outstanding! Finding someone you can truly trust with your four-legged family member is no small task, but Becky exceeded every single expectation. We recently had to leave town and felt completely at ease from start to finish. Throughout our trip, Becky went above and beyond by sending regular photo updates and keeping us thoroughly informed on how our dog was doing. It is so clear how much genuine care and attention she puts into looking after animals. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog is the ultimate peace of mind. If you are looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative petsitter, look no further. We are already looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Always a pleasure and completely stress free to have Cyndi and her family take care of my Furbaby when I vacation. She is very flexible and takes the utmost care while my dog is in her care. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I was hesitant due to the distance from the middle of the Villages however I liked the fact that she limited the number of pets. After meeting with her and seeing the home and yard I decided to use her for Bentley’s boarding. I am extremely happy and pleased with her care and especially for the many photos. I will definitely recommend and will book with her again.”

“Marcela did a wonderful job watching my Goldendoodle Lulu. She sent me pictures and kept me posted as to how she was doing.

I think is Alexa's fifth stay with Sandra, Alexa always gets good care, and Sandra is flexible to meet our schedule. Her place is very close to home so it's convenient to pick Alexa up on the way home after a trip, this time was a 2-night visit. I never have to worry while I'm away.

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 Ocklawaha 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 Ocklawaha 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 Ocklawaha.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ocklawaha 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.
