“My dog daughter loves being with Angie and her husband. They take care of her as if she were her family. They allowed her to sleep with them and made her feel happy with games and walks. I would really book again and I recommend that if you want your furry ones to feel at home that you do it too. Pd. Thank you for all the photos and videos during her care.”
“If you're looking for someone to trust with your pup, definitely recommend Bill & Krista! Bill was so kind and great to work with. And by the sounds of it (confirmed with pictures) our anxious Mara Bear was living her best life while we were out of town. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Alia was awesome with the dogs and provided me with several updates and photos while I was away! You can tell she is an animal lover and took great care of my fur babies! I definitely plan on using her in the future!!!”

“Laquitta & James took such good care of Sassy. I received daily up dates and pictures. The meet and greet was so helpful for when I took her to their home for her stay she was so relaxed because she already knew their home and fur babies. I can't thank them enough for taking care of my Sassy. I highly recommend and will use them again.”
“Elisa did an amazing job watching my Beagle. She sent videos of their time together which was very thoughtful. Thanks so much for taking great care of her. Will definitely book again when needed.”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time in a long time that our dog had stayed with someone other than family, so naturally, we were a little anxious about how she would adjust. From the moment she arrived, Julia went above and beyond to make her feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear how attentive and caring she was, especially when it came to helping ease our dog’s anxiety and making sure all of her needs were met. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and, without a doubt, will be reaching out to Julia again to care for our fur baby. Thank you so much, Julia, for treating her with such kindness, patience, and love. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🐾”
“Hugh watched my little lotus for two nights and made me feel completely at ease about leaving him for the first time. Very thankful for Hughs love of dogs and opening his home. I will definitely be bringing Lotus back!”
“Once again my three thrived under the care of Krista. In her updates it was clear the dogs were involved in daily activities. Since I was driving long distance, I appreciated her flexibility with arrival time. I recommend her highly, (hoping she does not get too busy to care for my dogs on my next Fla visit)”
“Bella my Bernadoodle made herself right at home the minute she walked in. She loved the kids and Stefhany and Jean. She is not used to kids or other dogs but I think she was living every minute of it. They sent several videos and pictures to let me see how she was doing. That was so nice it made me feel better. I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home after all the fun at their house vs. boring ole Momma at home. Luckily when I arrived she was so excited. She had been well fed and stimulated because she fell asleep as soon as we got home. This was my first time on Rover, I will most definitely use them again in tue future. Thank you for being such good caretakers of my sweet baby Bella. Sharon C”

“Needed to board our dog max for 2 weeks during an international trip at the last minute. They were both very friendly and accommodating of our dog! Will definitely book again!”
“Susan was absolutely wonderful! I was so nervous to leave our babies while we went on a cruise, especially since I wouldn’t have service/internet but Susan made sure to give me updates as long as possible and when we got back. Drop off & pick up were quick and easy, even though both my pups are clingy. I will most definitely be using Susan anytime we need a sitter.”
“Diana was perfect! Every single day she sent me videos of Ginger… And I loved it, I could see how happy Ginger was and how much she was loving being in there! I really recommend Diana’s services!”
“My son dropped off our dog, but said that Rebecca was very pleasant and the transition of leaving our dog with her went smoothly. I received pictures of our girl every day, and Rebecca reassured us that she was doing great. Our dog seemed to enjoy her visit with Rebecca :)”
“I'm so glad I found Maxine! This is my second time using her service.. and I will definitely rebook with her! Thanks for another fun doggy vacation time for Daisy. She loves the walks and the chance to play with other doggies! You're the best!”
“What a great experience with Charles and his wife Becky. They were able to confirm the appointment with me right away and at the last minute. They kept me updated and even sent me pictures of Jimmy having a grand time at their house. Will definitely continue to utilize their service when needed. Thank you both so much!!”

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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ocklawaha on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 503 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ocklawaha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Ocklawaha sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ocklawaha landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ocklawaha home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
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 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
