“We needed a new Sitter for our sassy girl but we are super picky! Krystal checked all of the boxes for us and Willow was right at home with her family. The home is clean and bright and the fenced yard is a plus for our frisbee-loving girl. Willow came home very happy and we will be 100% be booking again. Thank you so much!!”

“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Jennifer! From the moment we met her and her husband, we knew our German Shepherd and Green Cheeked Conure would be in caring hands—but she exceeded every expectation. She treated our pets as if they were her own, giving them so much love, attention, and affection while we were away. She sent us daily photo and video updates, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to see just how happy and comfortable they were. Our German Shepherd had the time of his life swimming in their pool and playing with their hose! It was clear that Jennifer took the time to learn his personality and made sure he was not only well cared for but truly enjoying himself. She was equally attentive to our Green Cheeked Conure, making sure our little feathered family member felt safe, loved, and comfortable as well. Because of Jennifer we were able to fully relax during our trip, knowing our pets were receiving exceptional care. Lovingly welcoming our pets into their home made a very special trip possible for us, which made a meaningful impact on our entire family. We’re incredibly grateful to have found her! We wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer and we will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“I cannot express how amazing Mary is! She took such good care of my babies and kept me updated constantly. I was afraid of leaving my dogs behind for the first time but Mary just won us over from the second we did the meet and greet! She is so understanding and goes above and beyond for the pets she cares for. I am so thankful for the wonderful care my dogs received and I will definitely be a returning costumer!!!”

“Angel was amazing! My 2 big babies stayed with him and his family in his home for 7 days and they took exceptional care of them. From the start, communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved the attention they received. Angel kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much to us. It’s not easy trusting someone with both your pets, but Angel made the entire experience stress-free. We came back to two very happy dogs, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”

“Bradley was friendly and clearly a dog lover. He was available on short notice. After booking, he immediately asked whether Sunshine had a special diet or treats, and double checked when I dropped her off. I was a little worried about leaving Sunshine with a stranger, but he made me less concerned. He sent several pictures of Sunshine playing. She was happy when I picked her up, and seems to have had a good time. If I need a sitter again, Bradley will definitely be my first choice.”

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.

Most bookings cost between $30 and $50 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

There are 1,412 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Bartow. About 91% of Bartow sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
