“This was our first time leaving him with a sitter, so we were very nervous but, I loved how she kept us informed about our pet. The daily pics and updates help us to relax. He had so much fun. He acted as if he didn’t want to come home.”
“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.”
“Her house was well set up for dogs and the pups loved running the stairs. The pups played with new friends and she followed their special food requirements. I will use her again. Thanks.”
“Susan is an amazing care giver!! She goes above and beyond!! She is so loving and caring with my baby Ripley!! Ripley was happy and relaxed staying with Susan Communication was terrific!!! And most of all my little guy trusted Susan!!! Recommend her 150% Won’t ever leave my boy with anyone except Susan!!”
“Beautiful home & perfect place for my dog! Her doggies kept mine company, and so did her kids. There is so much yard space (5 acres) to run around, and Diannette and her family cared for Buttercup like their own. He seemed very content in photos she sent. Highly recommend.”
“Leave your dog with strangers- what a concept! Have to say, Shayla and her family cared for Irie as well as we would. For a dog with a few quirks she did great. Shayla sent pictures and as evident by those she made herself at home. Thank goodness we found Shayla. 10 stars! ⭐️”
“Incredibly professional and accommodating for me. Omi was super flexible with me and understanding of my crazy mishaps with traveling. I would happily work with her again.”
“She was GREAT! She loved a out as much as I do. She said he was friendly with everyone. She said she was really going to miss her. I would definitely schedule with her!”
“Andrea was great! Before booking we did a playdate just to make sure Prince would be a good fit and my goodness I fell in love immediately! She has a HUGE fenced in yard! Will definitely be booking again! LOVE LOVE LOVE!”
“June did a superb job with Bentley & followed all of the instructions with his medications & feeding etc. She is obviously a dog lover & I think he got spoiled a bit as today he seems a bit off being back at home! Apparently he decided to get into bed with June to sleep, something he never does at our house! She responded to any questions via text or by phone and kept us informed through videos and photos every day. We would have no problem leaving him again with Miss June.”
“This is only our second time using Brianna's services for our three fur babies, but we are very happy. We received updates with pictures and video throught their stay. We highly recommend Brianna for your pet sitting needs!”
“Winston loved staying with Debra and she was amazing keeping us updated with pictures and news about his day. He was happy to see us but we could tell he enjoyed himself thoroughly.”

“Adriana and her family took good care of my Bella. I felt comfortable leaving her with them. She sent pictures and videos to let me know that Bella was safe, happy and thriving. I would use her service again and I would highly recommend. 10/10 !”
About: I once fostered greyhounds, I was up to 10 at 1 time, and I could walk all of them at the same time without a problem. I am currently not working. So I will have every time available that you need someone can I live across from the walk park and just down the street from the dog park I currently do not have any pets , so there should not be a problem with your dog in my home if needed i have a very safe dog friendly home
“Charli has been taking care of our dog Jack since 2019, and he always has the best time. She has always gone above and beyond, for example: taking him on walks, bringing him along on outings like trips to Renninger’s, and making sure he feels comfortable and loved while we’re away. Now that Jack is a 15 year old senior, it means even more to us to have someone we trust completely. Charli took exceptional care of him during our most recent mini-vacation, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares for him. We can tell Jack is happy and relaxed in her care, and she treats him like part of her own family. She even gives him a bath when on longer stays. We highly recommend Charli to anyone looking for care for their loved ones!”
“Our pups were very well taken care of while we were on our vacation and came home happy and tired! We got updates with photos and saw that they were able to get out and run around often. We will definitely use Taylor and Angel again!”
“Fabulous and kind. She sent beautiful pictures and kept closely in touch. Very flexible with pick up and drop off and went out of her way to meet with us in our time frame (which was last minute).”
“Ashley is amazing! From the first time we brought Pete to meet Ashley at the meet and greet we knew she was going to be the perfect sitter! Ashley provides picture updates and is quick to communicate! She makes drop off and pick up easy and has the perfect set up! We’ve already booked our next trips with Ashley!”

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 of Dog Boarding in Ocklawaha is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $63 per night.

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.
