“Lavar and Amber are literally a second family to my baby. They love him so much and really care about him, which always makes me feel comfortable when I leave him in their care. Thank you both for loving Copper.”
“Heather was amazing with our dog while we were on vacation! He took to her right away and loved spending time in her great outdoor space. She kept us updated with videos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He had a wonderful time. We’d definitely trust Heather to watch him again!”
“Melissa was an excellent sitter for our teacup chihuahua. He is 16, blind and hard of hearing which required a little extra precaution. Her nursing background definitely put us at ease. She sent pictures to us while we were out of the country and let ys know how he was doing. She took him for walks in a doggy stroller and gave him lots of love. She also administered his meds. I would highly recommend Melissa to care for your fur baby! We will absolutely use her services again. Thank you Melissa!”
“Season is super great with our senior dog, Migao. She has been communicative and always ready to share the current status. She has also been very flexbile with the schedules allowing us to travel without the timing stress. Would definitely rebook with Season for the next suitable trip.”
“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”
“Stephanie really brought out my dog’s personality! T had the time of her life and I knew she was in good, qualified hands. I even learned a thing or two. I would definitely recommend Stephanie and will be back next year. *such cute photos too :)”
“Carrie was so incredibly accommodating my pup and our last minute booking request! She was able to fit in a meet & greet and kept me updated the entire time I was away. Will absolutely be using Carrie again!”
“Tiana was amazing as usual. She took in Ozzie very late at night and made us her top priority. I will continue to book her as Ozzie's sitter because he always comes back so happy.”
“The best sitter ever! Deanna is incredibly kind, caring, and reliable. She was able to watch my babies, Kimba and Rue, on short notice and was so flexible when I needed to extend their stay. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with her again. A+++ sitter—thank you so much, Deanna!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. We’ve always had pets growing up, so I took part in walking, feeding, bathing, and loving many dogs. I even raised puppies when our dog had her own, bottle fed them, and trained them. We also have a golden retriever who I spend a lot of time loving on! I’m a nurse so I have several days off a week, but the days I am free vary! I know the days I’m scheduled to work months in advance, and it is pretty much set. We live in an apartment that is safe and pet friendly. It’s on the first floor. I’m very mindful of your space and taking care of your pup by your rules and what works best for him/her!
“This was our first Rover experience and we're so glad we chose Emmett. He was professional and caring through the process of a meet and greet, and then Scout's stay. His pets were wonderful and got along well with our dog. We highly recommend Emmett!”
“No words to describe how incredible of an experience Chief had over the last 10 days! Grace is amazing and now has a lifelong customer !! If you’re in need of a home away from home for your pet- you’re missing out if you don’t book with her! 10/10 recommend. P.s.- i was FLOODED with photos the entire time away.”
“Patrick was awesome for taking Whiskey last minute. I am a nervous fur baby mom. So I like a lot of pictures and updates, Patrick did communicate everyday, but sometimes later in the day. He has a sweet fur baby that Whiskey loved playing with. Patrick was very sweet and playful with my high energy Bel Mal.”
About: With years of veterinary experience, I bring more than just a love of animals to pet sitting! I worked in veterinary care for 5 years in a clinic and spent three years as a remote veterinary triage nurse, giving me experience in veterinary medicine and comfortability in administrating medications. I’ve owned dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of pets. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Your pets will be treated like family! I currently stay home with my 4-year-old, while my two school-age children are at school, so my schedule is flexible and open for daily check-ins, walks, and pet visits. I can work with your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, and I’m happy to help make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. My home has a fenced-in wooded area where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and explore safely. I have three friendly dogs and a cat, so I understand the importance of making sure all animals feel comfortable and get along. I always prioritize each pet’s individual needs, routines, and safety. In a client’s home, I will follow their instructions closely, keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I have a 4 year old golden and have many years of experience with dogs and cats alike. I grew up pet sitting neighbors animals, and my friends always trust their dogs with me. For in house boarding, I will treat your pet as my own. For drop in services, I will play with your pet and give them love and attention. I often pet sit for friends and family and am looking to expand my services to my surrounding community. I work from home and can let your pup out on lunch or before/after work. I usually take my hour lunch between 12-1 pm or 1-2 pm. I begin work at 7:30 and get off around 4:30 pm. I have a fenced in yard with a pool, a golden retriever, as well as a cat. If I’m coming to your home, I will provide the utmost care and safety as if it was my own home and my own pet .

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 320 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Belfast. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
95% of sitters in Belfast 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 Belfast 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 Belfast.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Belfast. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Belfast 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 TN 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
