Matt and Nicole are fabulous. Our springer spaniel Ladybelle took to them quickly. She was smiling in every picture they took. Highly recommend!

Our 2 dogs (9yo black lab & 1yo golden doodle) have stayed with Holli three times. Every time, Holli has sent us daily pictures and updates of how our dogs were doing. She is a great communicator and we can tell our dogs LOVE staying with her. I highly recommend Holli for your pups!

Megan and her family are very kind and accommodating people. My Finn loved his stay and didn’t want to leave… there is a wonderful yard for guests to play… and he was taken on leashed walks. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again and I highly recommend her.

I am torn between telling you how fabulous Christian is and lying and telling you he is terrible…so he doesn’t get booked up!😂 Seriously, our two dogs had a great stay with Christian, he truly loves animals. He’s reliable, flexible, trustworthy and communicated wonderfully. We feel blessed that we found him, will definitely use him again.

I rarely leave my dogs with anyone but i needed to due to family reasons. At first I was nervous to see how they did but I am happy I left them with Katie! My dogs enjoyed the day with her and when they got home they were really tired and sleepy ready for bed after a day playing around. She sent me pictures that made me feel at ease leaving them. I will definitely be using her service again if needed. Thank you for caring for my dear pets!

We genuinely appreciated Mason & Kassandra for coming through and taking care of our girls after a very last minute scramble to find someone after our initial plans fell through. They communicated with us throughout the pups’ stay and took great care of them. We’re transitioning to a new home/location and it’s been quite the adjustment for our pups, but Kassandra and Mason were very understanding and took great care of our girls while we were away!

Maya was a very easy sitter to work with. She responds quickly, is very kind, she keeps you updated frequently, and she knows and loves dogs. She was great with giving our boy his medications and keeping up with his demanding puppy schedule. IYKYK. We’ll definitely use Maya again!

This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!

Riley watched our dog Asher for the weekend and we had a great experience. She was very quick to respond to messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Asher was well cared for and happy when we picked him up, and it was clear he was in good hands the whole time. We would definitely trust Riley to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Bartow

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Bartow on Rover is $42.09 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 1,361 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bartow. 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 Bartow 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 Bartow 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 Bartow 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 Bartow.

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 Bartow 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.
