“Holli is amazing!! She took care of our mush like she was her own and our pup has come home happy and healthy! Holli sent me daily pictures and updates to make sure we were aware of how settled our pup was…. And she certainly enjoyed her time with Holli and her family! I will definitely be rebooking Holli in the future and now class her as our families officially sitter for our girl! Highly recommend to anyone who needs a sitter for their beloved dog!”
“Very nice people. I can tell my dog had a great time staying with them.I love how they update me too everyday about my dog. I will definitely book them again”
“Anyone needing dog care/ dog sitting services, I definitely would recommend Matt and Nicole. They are excellent. They are caring people with dogs and very caring people. I strongly recommend Matt and Nicole. My dog Addy who has separation anxiety was handled in a very specialized way . Their whole family was with my dog. And he came back better cause he actually was more chilled out and now is use to being with a dog sitter in a good experience. The pictures were great as well.”
“Marie was such a sweetheart. She has a big heart for dogs and took very good care of mine. My baby had plenty of room to run in the backyard and she sent lots of pictures. Will use her again.”
“We loved the care and attention given to our dog by Samantha! My dog was having so much fun with her pack. The updates were frequent and thorough. We also got great pictures and videos throughout the stay. We will definitely rebook with her!”
“Mason and Kassandra did an awesome job taking care of my senior dog. They made sure she received her med each day and sent me daily updates. I would definitely use them again.”
“Megan went above and beyond for my pups. This was the first time that I’ve boarded my dogs, so I was extremely hesitant and toured a few major pet hotels in the area. When I saw Megan’s profile on Rover, I knew instantly it was the right choice. She sent me several updates throughout each day and provided many pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. I wanted to pick them up at an extremely late time, and she accommodated that as well. She sent my pups home smelling fresh with a new bandana and bow, plus some homemade treats. I was so impressed by her care and love for my babies. She is very attentive and answered all of my messages within minutes. When dropping them off, she double checked that they weren’t on any medication in case she needed to give them some. I would trust her any day and night and will plan on using her in the future ❤️”
“I’m am very happy leaving my Gus with Annette he loves and enjoys her company and doggie friends. She is always very nice to send me updates and pictures of Gus playing with friends. He was certainly very happy staying with Annette”
“Kyli was amazing the whole time we were away. She looked after our 2 dogs and sent us updates everyday and videos of them playing with her dogs. They looked like they had an amazing time which made us happy. I 100% recommend Kyli for your animals. :)”
“What a great sitter! Don't hesitate to choose Christian for your furry baby's sitter. He kept up with pics and info during my dog's stay. He's first on my list next time I need a sitter.”
“Karla was super great with my dogs! This was my first time using Rover and she was able to put me at ease. She sent me daily pictures and updates on how they were doing. Usually one of my dogs doesn’t get along with other dogs but she was able to interact her dog with my dog in a way that she had no trouble with my dog. Definitely will use her again!!”
“Labern was so amazing! She took such great care of my doggie. I never once had to ask how Venus was doing, she sent me an update and photo every single day! I loved that so much! I hope she's available to watch her again because Labern has become my favorite Rover in all of Florida. Thank you so so much!”
“This is the 2nd time leaving our “boys” with Katie. This time they stayed 3 nights over Thanksgiving weekend. It’s really helpful that Katie is so flexible about the drop off and pick up times. She again provided video updates to show that they were doing fine. I really appreciate Katie’s knowledge and skill with animals. One of my dogs is very insecure and fearful. The other has excess nervous energy. I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. I am really thankful that I found her.”
“SHE IS THE BEST! She always sends me videos of my pups and gives me updates constantly! She is also extremely responsive and makes sure my girls have the best time 🥰”
“What an awesome experience for our family (which includes zip our Husky) I HIGHLY recommend Sarah she communicated daily with pictures and messages. Zip came home happy and appeared better than the kennel we used in the past. Came home and acted completely normal and excited to be home.”
“As always, my dogs had a great time with Sary. She took great care of them and I can see they were very happy and relaxed with her. Thank you Sary for always taking care of them!”
“Angie is a dog owner so she treated my fur babies like family. She took pictures and videos and sent them to me. This made feel confident that my babies were in good hands. Cooper and Dixies thanks Angie just the same.”
“Krystal was amazing! She worked with our super early time frames, and was very attentive to instructions and our pooch. Would definitely reccomend and will absolutely be using her services in the future. Can not say enough great things about her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bartow
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Bartow on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,366 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.
