“Was an overall great experience.Mrs Janell was amazing and took great care of our pup.no issues and had great communication.also helped out as I was new to the site and how to book her.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog for a mini vaca & were recommended Rover by a friend. Our dog is very close to my dad so we were nervous. After reading reviews and seeing such a high repeat customer rate, we chose to go with Stefhany & Jean. We arranged a meet up & were shocked at how instantly Tyzon was comfortable around them! They gave us a tour showing the fenced in yard. It shows how much thought was put into the dogs’ safety. We received daily updates with pics which eased our minds so much that we extended our stay! He felt so comfortable during his stay that he started to claim other dog beds lol! Their response time is also impressive..We highly recommend them with your fur babies! Add another repeat customer to their rating as we definitely will be using them again for our next vacation 😊”
“We have no concerns once we drop Coco off with Laquitta and James. We get updates and photos throughout the day, which ensures us that Coco is in safe hands. Highly recommend their services.”
“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!”
“She was absolutely amazingly and her family was outstanding also. They took very good care of my Nala. I will definitely recommend her and will always use her if possible.”
“Our dog, Harper, is very timid around people, but did well in Bill and Krista's welcoming home. They frequently sent updates to assure us she was settling in and we were able to travel with peace of mind knowing Harper was in good hands.”
“The boarding with Gage and Ann was everything I could hope for and more! My recent rescue melted into their loving structure like he had always been family. The regular updates and the prompt communication made it easy to relax and not worry about my pup one bit. My pup isn’t the easiest to manage and Gage was spectacular at recognizing body language cues and helped bring out more confidence in my dog. I will happily rebook any time I need a sitter!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Elisa while she cared for our dog, Lia. This was our first time using Elisa’s services, and she immediately made us feel comfortable and confident that Lia was in great hands. Throughout Lia’s stay, Elisa kept us updated with daily messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how well Lia was doing. She was also very attentive to Lia’s eating habits and took the time to ensure she ate her full meals, something we truly appreciated. Elisa’s care, communication, and genuine attention to Lia’s needs exceeded our expectations. We can honestly say that we will be bringing Lia back to Elisa in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“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.”
“We are so thrilled that we found a wonderful safe second home for our fur baby when we are gone. Diana and her family take excellent care of our little guy. Such a relief not to have to worry about him when he is with them. They are loving of Frankie and he gets lots of attention and out door time. So Thankful!”
“I am so happy with my 1st Rover experience with Denny. She took such great care of my fur baby and even offered a “meet and greet” before I agreed to leave my Cali in her care. There was great communication and pictures through out Calis stay that brightened my day and reassured me that she was in good hands. I’m so happy I’ve found Calis new sitter on my first try ?”
“Katherine was an excellent sitter for my two dogs. She kept me up to date throughout the day and shared pictures and videos of my girls. She took care of my girls as if they were her own - spoiled and pampered. Katherine was great and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I'll definitely call on Katherine again in the future to take care of my girls.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Alexus! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the entire process so easy. We probably overwhelmed her with a bunch of information about our dogs, but she handled everything perfectly. We loved receiving pictures of Webster and Charlotte and felt completely at ease knowing they were well-loved. We are very thankful and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

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 July 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 .

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.
