Great Sitter! The best I ever worked with. Ms. Shay treats my dogs as family and sees them as her dogs. Ms. Shay was so nice to take pictures and give constant updates, she also was so nice to give my dogs some of her own dog treats and snacks. I highly recommend. Going to be a for sure repeat customer.

Susan did a great job watching my cat. She was very friendly. My cat allowed Susan to pet her. My cat is pretty standoffish towards most people. Susan really helped me out while I was gone.

About: Dogs have been part of our lives for as long as we can remember. Gage was raised around dogs from a young age, his dad bred bullies, so he grew up learning canine behavior, body language, and daily care firsthand. After getting married, we added four dogs of our own, which deepened our passion for training, boarding, and understanding how dogs learn best. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including a Bull Mastiff, Pit/Lab mix, Rottweiler/Boxer mix, Great Dane, and a Boxer. Large breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies learning structure, and gentle seniors all receive care tailored to their specific needs. We understand that young dogs need consistency and patience, while senior dogs often need a slower pace and extra attentiveness. What truly sets us apart is that we intentionally keep things small and personal. We board a maximum of two dogs at a time (one family at a time), ensuring individualized attention, proper supervision, and a calm environment - never overcrowded, rushed, or chaotic. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities in our home. After each stay, we fully sanitize spaces, wash bedding, disinfect crates and play areas, and properly dispose of waste to maintain a clean, healthy environment for every dog. We also believe communication matters. Regular updates, photos, and check-ins are sent so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while you’re away. We own a small business offering guided boat tours, fishing trips, and jet ski rentals, which gives us a highly flexible schedule. Because we control our calendar, we only accept pet care bookings when we are fully available to dedicate our time and attention to your dog. Since we both work from home, your pup will not be left alone for extended periods. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine, with built-in time for morning and evening walks, play sessions, feeding schedules, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. Our days are structured around consistency and companionship. Whether your dog thrives on activity and engagement or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, we’re able to provide steady attention, a calm atmosphere, and dependable care from start to finish. Our home is a quiet, structured, and comfortable environment designed to feel like home, never like a kennel. As mentioned above, we intentionally care for only 1–2 dogs at a time (1 pet family at a time), which allows us to provide focused supervision, individualized attention, and a low-stress setting. Dogs enjoy supervised playtime, regular outdoor breaks, consistent feeding schedules, and plenty of downtime to rest and decompress. We pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level, adjusting care to ensure they feel secure and comfortable throughout their stay. Crates are never required unless your dog prefers the familiarity of one. We also have a dedicated spare bedroom where one of us can sleep with your dog, so they don’t have to sleep alone or feel isolated. Maintaining routine, safety, cleanliness, and emotional comfort are always our top priorities. Whether in our home or during drop-in visits at yours, we follow your established routines closely - including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any specific instructions - so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every dog in our care is treated with the same patience, structure, and affection we give our own.

Patrisha is an absolute angel! I contacted her to watch my cat and from the first meet and greet all the way to the final visit she went above and beyond in every way. My cat even felt safe and comfortable starting on day 2 and let her pet her! I would recommend her for your dogs as well because she is very used to them, and I know she will offer the same great care she offered my fur daughter.

About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.

About: I’m home all day/night pet sitting full time! Once I became a pet owner I never looked back. My fury child is my life. As a pet owner for 14 years I am very skillful in all areas of pet car from teeth brushing to tick picking. I have seen them grow old, loose their hearing, sight and ability to walk, but never once treated them like an old dog. I take seriously the need for touch by brushing their hair as often as possible and giving belly ribs when they turn on their backs for that special attention. My bed is their bed as they like to cuddle and feel safe and secure. I am a morning person and love feeling the brisk air as I watch pets take to the grass for their morning outing. I am home all day/night! I am available as early as 5:30am to receive your fury child into my home. I have plenty of space for them to play and I for one like to keep them in my site. Especially the little ones, they can get into so much. I have 4 dogs parks right in my community and each one is covered in grass. I love to walk, so your pet will never be taken off schedule. I have the best water-resistant floors in the event of any accidents, just wipe and go. I take work/life balance breaks so always free to play with your pets. I am currently home all day/night! I can feed twice a day or more, and I offer treats, walks and lots of play time. I can separate your pet, if need be. I have lots of sleeping space for those that are just tired little pups. My house is quiet, no children so no bother. I have a closed in balcony which provide a nice look out point for your pet. I have stuff animals and dog toys that I leave around the house for playmates as well.

About: I have always enjoyed being around animals and have been the pet sitter and housesitter for my family. I’ve watched a variety of different dogs, with a variety of temperments, and needs. I am tidy and polite and will be a sense of security when leaving your furry friends. I am currently working from home and temporarily take phone calls that can last 3 to 5 minutes long. I would have plenty of time to play with your pups and long morning and evening walks. I would prefer to housesit your dog in its own environment, as well as have the opportunity to work from home. I would treat your pet as if they were my own. I would be able to provide any special needs your pet required, and would try my best to make them feel comfortable and safe. Lots of loving and pay time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ocklawaha on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 993 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ocklawaha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ocklawaha stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ocklawaha. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
