She has a nice fenced in area where they can play. She was able to give my animals various diets. I can’t say enough. Thank you.!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for vacation, she made us feel completely at ease by sending daily photos and updates. Seeing our dogs so happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. It’s clear, Vivian genuinely loves animals and treated our dogs like they were her own. We are incredibly grateful for the care, attention, and kindness she showed them. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pets. Thank you so much!”

“Angelica was outstanding! She was very tuned into what our dogs needed and kept us feeling comfortable with frequent photos! We will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Wonderful, very capable sitter. I knew my dog might be a tough customer after quarantining with me for 9 months. Bradley really took time, put in the work, and won over my anxious, 50 lb pit. Clearly knows what he's doing, got a lot of good tricks up his sleeve, and didn't shy away from a dog that requires some caution. Dog was well cared for, got plenty of walks, and came back perfectly healthy and seeming very happy. Plus I learned a few things about raising my dog, and the dog got some valuable socialization. Highly recommend”
“Excellent caretaker. She took care of my dog Dakota like it was her own. Every picture, my dog smiled, and every walk she was happy with cause she loves walks. Definitely will hire her again the next time we go on vacation.”
“Lisa and her son Eli did a wonderful job taking care of our Koda. It was his first time staying away from home since we got him, and it seemed like he had a great vacay . Will totally feel comfortable leaving him there the next time we are in need of a fur baby sitter.”
“If you're on the fence about booking with Cherisse, please read this. I'm a helicopter dog owner, my dogs are spoiled rotten and I rarely let them out of my care unless my normal dog sitter of 10 years can watch them. Due to her life changes, I found myself without a dog sitter and 2 days to find someone else so I took a shot on Rover and with Cherisse. We had a birth in the family we wanted to be at and knowing my three dogs were so well taken care of and comfortable with Cherisse helped us not stress about them and we were fully present with our family. Her home is beautiful and spotless, the daily updates were great and their care was wonderful. I can't thank her enough and will absolutely be booking her in the future.”
“Briana was so nice with my girls. Every time I asked her about Mila and Lucy, she sent pics about them. She and her family are really nice people and for sure she will be my sitter in the future. All my worries disappeared working with her!”
“Donna is wonderful with our Beau. She is our go-to sitter everytime we need to travel and can’t bring him with us. You can tell she takes really good care of him and sends us pictures often. We can’t recommend her enough! :)”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care our fur baby received over Thanksgiving! She was incredibly sweet and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We got daily updates and the cutest pictures, and it was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It truly means so much knowing he was in such loving hands. We would absolutely love to use her again in the future, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter! 🐾💛”
“Carlissa and her family were fantastic with our sweet boy. Super communicative, flexible and accommodating to his needs. We'll definitely be sending Rupert back for more plays!”
“Cheyenne, was wonderful with our dog Emmie. She sent us photos every day for the month she had her. Emmie was very well cared for and even had her own little treats that Cheyenne bought for her. I would highly recommend Cheyenne and am so happy we found her on rover. We will absolutely be boarding Emmie when our next big adventure comes along.”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Lilo. When I picked up my Lilo she wagged her tail and it gave me a sigh of relief because I knew she had a great time. I will be using them again for any occasion if Lilo needs to be taken care of. I’m happy I chose you. Thank you!”

Holli took such very good care of our dogs the past few days. Her home and family were a great fit for our guys. You not only get Holli, but her whole family to love on your pets. Communication was easy and updates came daily. We felt so comfortable having our dogs with her. We will definitely be booking with her again.
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bartow is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $50 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Bartow can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bartow home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
