“Nicole is an amazing dog sitter! My dog, Shadow, is a very shy girl who sometimes can take some time to warm up to new people. Nicole was extremely accommodating in making sure Shadow was comfortable with herself and her dogs and Shadow had a blast staying with Nicole!”
“This was my very first time boarding my 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Biscuit. I originally booked only 2 nights with Kristi but ended up extending for another night because my plans were disrupted by traffic and an accident on the way back from Chicago to Ohio. Kristi is very accommodating, and I can honestly say that her whole family took excellent care of Biscuit. She constantly kept me updated with texts, photos, and videos of Biscuit, which made me feel very at ease. Thank you so much, Kristi! I will definitely contact you again to board Biscuit with you!”
“Eido started yipping and barking as soon as we turned on the street to Tina's house. He knew where he was going and I wasn't driving fast enough. LOL! He is always so excited to stay with Tina and her pups and didn't even care when I was trying to say goodbye. The next day he came home so tired from all the fun. Tina is most excellent! I know my boy is loved and cared for. Thank you!!”
“Daisy is amazing. I appreciate the communication from beginning to end. I love the photos and videos that were sent every day ensuring me my lil phoenyx was enjoying himself while in her care. Daisy is very responsive and accommodating. I was extremely grateful to find Daisy at the last minute. While this was my first time ever booking within rover.com, Daisy made it an easy and effortless process. I am glad to say that I will be booking again during my next visit to Ohio.”
“Alexis was amazing with our girls. She kept us updated on how they were doing, sent photos and even groomed them. She also gave them homemade treats. They loved her too. We look forward to using her services again.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Amanda. She watched our 2 dogs this week, 2 separate times that we needed to travel overnight. You can tell she genuinely adores every dog she cares for and she is so great about sending updates and pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for peace of mind when they have to be away from their fur babies.”
“Addie had an amazing time at Gracie’s! We received plenty of updates with photos, which made us so happy and put us at ease (it’s hard leaving your fur baby for a weekend!). Addie got to play with other pups and had a fenced outdoor space to roam around in. She received lots of love and attention. We will definitely be sending Addie back again for future out-of-town weekends!”
“I thought I was going to have a disaster when a local boarding company confirmed a reservation then canceled! I downloaded Rover and found Kaitlin and Matt. They saved the day and my vacation…and my doggies loved them!!! Being strangers I was hesitant, but if ever in the area again, I know who I’ll call!”
“Kristol was very sweet and accommodating! Had a great backyard for Kobe to run around in and an equally energetic pint sized friend for him to play with! I received photos and updates regularly. Thank you so much for caring for my little guy over the weekend!”

“Payton was so sweet and just a lovely person! She was very calm and accommodating to our anxious girl, Gidget. She was flexible with time, communicated regularly and sent the cutest picture updates. We will definitely reach out to Payton the next time we need help!”
“Emily was fantastic with our dogs! She was so organized, kept us updated on the boys, and her set up for them was phenomenal. It gave us such peace of mind that they were safe, well cared for, and happy. I did not have a single worry when they were with her and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thanks Emily!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Bellefontaine on Rover is $31.08 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 70 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bellefontaine. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Bellefontaine 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 Bellefontaine.
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 Bellefontaine 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 OH 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.
