“Marnie is the greatest. She took my 2 spoiled dogs who had never been away from me before, and made them happy, and at home. I was able to enjoy my trip worry free. I highly recommend Marnie.”
“Ms. Lillie is super sweet and caring. She kept our fur babies and they were happy to have her little poodles as play mates. She provides updates as often as you'd like. I will definitely book Ms. Lillie again in the future 🐶”
“Jennifer and her family are amazing. It was our first time leaving our puppy with anyone and she sent tons of reassuring photos. We could tell Charlotte was cared for like a family member and we would recommend Jennifer to anyone :) Thank you Cynthia”
“This was Vinny’s second stay with Sahar and again, I can’t speak more positively about the experience. I will continue to book her services to emsure Vinny has a safe, friendly and fun environment to stay in while I’m traveling.”
“Maiden was a great sitter for my pup Shiloh. I love that she communicates and sends updates regularly, which I really appreciate. Through her updates, I could tell that Shiloh really, really enjoyed himself and was very happy. She took great care of him and I will definitely book again in the future. Thank you Maiden!”
“Absolutely recommend Mozelle!! She was sweet when we first met and she updated us with pictures and videos of our pup having fun. When we brought him home he was happy to see the kids…but if he could talk, we felt he was trying to tell us how much fun he had and how well he was taken care of. Thank you Mozelle. It’s hard nowadays to trust in a complete stranger to care for a member of our family, but you totally treated our pup like family. And that means so much to us. ✌🏼 🐶”
“Jennifer and her family were very sweet! Jennifer was incredibly responsive to messages and sent the cutest pics/videos of my cat. This was my first time ever using Rover or having my cat boarded, so I was extra nervous about leaving my fur baby, but could tell she was in great hands. She will be my first choice if I need a sitter again!”
“Brianna was truly amazing! I booked with her last minute, and she couldn’t have been more accommodating. She took such wonderful care of Major—kept me constantly updated with the sweetest pictures and videos, which made being away so much easier. She even let me extend my stay last minute without any hesitation. Brianna was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and totally on top of Major’s feeding and sleeping schedule. I could tell he felt right at home with her. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—thank you so much, Brianna!”
“Daniel was great! Very communicative with pictures and videos during my pups stay. Very accommodating with drop off and pick up timeframe. Pup had a blast and will definitely use again!”
“This was our first time leaving Oliver with a sitter during our vacation and we were apprehensive. BUT Sam and his family welcomed Oliver like one of the family! He sent pictures and updates throughout his stay and Oliver was clearly happy, enjoying his time there. I HIGHLY recommend Sam!!!! 10 stars!!!! Would ABSOLUTELY leave Oliver with Sam again!”
“Dropping off your fur-baby is like dropping off your child. Edwin and Jannina put my mind at ease. I know Bree was well taken cared of. The place is clean and organized which says a lot about how well they will take care of your fur-baby. I am definitely booking with them again and again.”
“Lulu’s recent stay with Meghan, was just as wonderful as her first stay, albeit shorter. Lulu adores Meghan and her husband and being with her newest friend Honey - Meghan’s Cavalier. She was cared for lovingly and responsibly. I recommend her 100% !!!!”
“Such a pleasant and welcoming experience for my last minute booking. Great communication, lots of photos and even, meal and playtime updates. I'll definitely be back!”
“Carol is fantastic! As a first-time Rover user, I was a bit hesitant but did my homework in reading the reviews and scheduling a meet-n-greet to ensure a good match. I must say Carol is a match made in heaven! She was so warm and kind and attentive from the moment we met her and she took excellent care of our dog while we were away on an extended trip. She sent daily (sometimes multiple times a day) photos and videos to show how well our dog was doing, that he was happy, healthy and having a great time. It provided such peace of mind to know our pup was in such great hands and we are so thrilled to have found Carol!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I could not have asked for a better dog sitter than Sharon. She was incredibly nice and patient with me and my dog on our meet and greet, and took great care of my little girl. I will be using Sharon's services in the future.”
“If you are anywhere near Fort Pierce - Alyssa is your girl! Kimi had the BEST time, got lots of love, cuddles, walks, played with new friends and was basically spoiled! Just how he should be. I had 0 concerns while I was away, which is good for this over protective Mom!! Thank you Alyssa!!”
About: Why My Care is Different What sets me apart is the peace of mind that comes with hiring a professional veterinary technician with approximately eight years of experience. My background is rooted in high-stakes environments, including emergency medicine and overnight clinical supervision, which allows me to provide a level of medical oversight that goes far beyond standard pet sitting. Whether your pet is a healthy ball of energy or a senior requiring complex care, I bring clinical precision and a calm, expert perspective to every visit. Specialized Pet Care Expertise Emergency & Critical Care Experience: Having worked in emergency medicine and supervised overnight shifts, I am trained to remain calm under pressure and identify subtle clinical signs of distress before they become crises.

How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine My life is centered around animal care, both professionally and personally. Here is how pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine: Professional Integration: As a veterinary technician with approximately eight years of experience, including emergency medicine and overnight supervision, pet care is the core of my daily professional life. Home & Play Space: I live on 3 acres of property, providing a massive, secure space for plenty of outdoor play and enrichment. Personal Experience: I am a dedicated pet owner myself, caring for my own dogs and cats. Flexible Relief Shifts: I utilize the Roo platform for veterinary technician relief shifts, which allows me to balance clinical work with dedicated pet sitting. My approach to safety and environment is rooted in professional clinical standards and a deep commitment to the emotional well-being of every animal. Whether I am providing care in your home or welcoming a pet to mine, my goal is to create a secure, low-stress atmosphere where health and happiness are the top priorities.

Medical Vigilance: With eight years of experience in emergency medicine and overnight supervision, I am trained to monitor for subtle changes in behavior or health that could indicate an underlying issue. Fear Free Environment: I utilize Fear Free techniques to ensure that all interactions—especially tasks that can be stressful, like nail trims—are handled with patience and positive reinforcement. Cleanliness & Hygiene: I maintain a clinical standard of sanitation. I take pride in deep-cleaning litter boxes and keeping pet areas pristine, as a clean environment is essential for disease prevention and overall comfort. Security Protocols: I am meticulous about home security, ensuring doors and gates are properly locked and your home is respected exactly as you left it. Care in My Home For pets visiting my home, I offer a professional-grade environment designed for both safety and fun. Spacious & Secure Play: I live on 3 acres of property, offering ample room for supervised outdoor exercise, enrichment, and play. Professional Oversight: Your pet is never just "staying" at a house; they are under the care of a professional veterinary technician capable of administering any necessary medications or treatments. Socialization & Comfort: Pets in my care enjoy a home environment alongside my own dogs and cats. I am always mindful of individual temperaments to ensure every animal feels safe and integrated. Emergency Preparedness: Because of my extensive background in emergency clinics, I am prepared to act decisively and calmly in the rare event of a medical emergency.
“Danielle was amazing with our dog! This was my first time leaving her anywhere overnight, but Danielle definitely helped put me at ease. She sent several pictures and videos during the weekend and always let me know how my dog was doing. Remy was exhausted when we got home Danielle definitely kept her entertained! She was very sweet and always responsive and attentive. We will definitely be using Danielle again! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Cheryl and her family were great with our Jack Russell Terrier for a two week stay. It was clear that our pup felt like part of the family! Cheryl's clear communication was greatly appreciated. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we would definitely book her again.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our baby. It was such a relief knowing that she was in your hands. From our first meeting, we knew that we were making the right choice. It is really hard to pick a stranger to take care of your dog. We had no hesitation in choosing the both of you. We will be back again next winter and will give you a call then. Thanks again, Joan & Steve”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Okeechobee on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 253 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Okeechobee. 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.
100% of Okeechobee 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 Okeechobee 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 Okeechobee 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 Okeechobee.
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 Okeechobee 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.
