“First time leaving Bella with Julie & Tiffany and won’t be the last! They kept us up to date with pictures/msgs. Bella got lots of couch time! Bella was well cared for and we were very happy.”
“Kyla was a superb sitter for our young pup. We were so anxious over having to leave him with someone as he has had a tough time already in life with being born in a street in Texas, then having to stay in a shelter in a pen for almost three months to then being brought to Tennessee to a shelter where he was adopted by us. Then he had to take a long Trek to Connecticut in a semi trailer with 150 other dogs crated the whole trip where we picked him up. He is very anxious and not use to other people or animals. I must say Kyla was super great with Franklin. She did everything we had asked even down to the insane feeding ways we have. We left a long list with Kyla as if we were leaving a human child and she fulfilled each and every one and then some. She is a very caring, kind and loving animal sitter. Her house is super clean and a great environment for any pet. Her children are just the cutest and very helpful with the animals. They love animals and are very gentle with them which was so cute to see. Kyla was super great about sending daily pictures and updates to us about Franklin. She keeps things very professional and I will certainly recommend her to anyone who wants a home away from home for there pet while they vacation or work. We will definitely use her pet boarding services again.”
“Katy was great! she was very flexible and answered right away. Josie had a great time staying with her and a lot of fun with the other dogs there. She got to do her favorite thing, a hike! Thank you Katy! WE’ll definitely ask you to take care of Josie again!”
“Megan was great! We came from out of town for an extended stay, and wanted to take a one day excursion without our dog Bentley. Even knowing it was likely to be a one-time dog-sitting opportunity - or at least very occasional - Megan was very responsive, arranged a meeting with her dog in advance, and when the day came, the two dogs and Megan all got along great! Bentley seemed happy to see us but reluctant to leave when we picked him up! And we got a lot of feedback and pictures during both days of his one-night stay. If the opportunity comes up again, we'll definitely turn to Megan again, too!”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“We had an urgent need to find a good dog boarding care provider as we were in the middle of a big vacation while suddenly our friend (who initially agreed to take care of our dog during our vacation) told us that she could no longer handle our dog due to lack of sleep and capability to handle. Fortunately, I found Jacqueline on Rover who agreed to accept our dog without even seeing him first. BTW, our previous Rover dog sitter no longer does this business since last year due to some family reasons. It has been such a great relief after our dog has been handed over to Jacqueline. She and her family have been taking very good care of our dog and she sent me updates in text msgs or pictures and taking our dog for walk everyday. From pictures, I believe our dog has been living happily with their family :-) Due to Jacqueline's great and in-time help, we were able to complete our vacation as planned. And after picking up our dog, he appears happy, healthy and clean. Thanks very much to Jacqueline and your family for your help! Great job! -Steve C.”
“Misael was great for our big dog Dozer. Super friendly. Willing to do w.e it takes to make sure everything works out. Dozer is not an easy dog to watch and misael knew exactly how to handle dozer which is saying alot for a 74 pound sheepadoodle who has massive separation anxiety. Now im confident knowing if we have to have him watched again for a trip Misael will be my first and only choice. If you have a big dog that's hard to handle he's your guy! Thank you so very much for going out of your way for us and Dozer.”
“Dobbs is family to me, so finding someone I trust isn't easy. Melissa exceeded every expectation. From the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up, she kept me updated with photos and messages that showed him happy, comfortable, and having a wonderful time. Seeing him playing, relaxing, and making new friends made it clear he wasn't just being watched—he was being cared for and loved. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Melissa, for treating my boy like one of your own. We'll definitely be back.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Family members, friends, neighbors, etc. have always had pets and have relied on me to take care of them for periods of time. I work on a hybrid schedule, so I am home most Mondays, Fridays - Sundays all day. When I am in the City working I have breaks where I can walk dogs that are close by as well. I don’t have any pets in my home, I live with my fiance who has grown up owning multiple dogs at a time. We have no children in the home either. We live in a townhouse with a front and back yard.
“There are not enough words to express how happy we are with Simone. I almost don’t want to say how good she is so she will always have room for us!! This was our first time leaving our 8 month old puppy. Simone let us come over and meet her before we booked and while we were away sent over 10 pics a day! She even let my husband call her to check in!! She was receptive to how spoiled our dogs needs were and was even fine with his few annoying habits. I STRONGLY recommend Simone!!!!”
“Very happy with Angelisa's services. She welcomed our dog into her home and made her feel comfortable and loved. She sent daily photos/videos/updates and added fun things like toys, healthy treats and walks. She was very responsive, nice, and followed requests. Would definitely use again and recommend.”
“We had a great experience with Nick! ! He was very prompt in helping us with a last minute reservation. Drop off and pick up was easy, and our dog seemed very happy in all the photos and videos, as well as when we picked her up. We would use Nick again.”
“Julie was so great with our dog Siena. Siena can be a bit anxious, and Julie was so caring and great with her and made her feel right at home. Great communicator, got lovely pictures and updates while we were away, we couldn’t be happier with Julie!”
“Adreine is perfect! My dog stayed with her for 8 nights, and this was our first ever experience with Rover. And it turned out great! Adreine sent me a ton of pics and videos during this week with Rex, and that helped a lot while I was far away! She did everything I’ve asked for, including following the special feeding schedule for my dog, as he has a special diet for now and needs to drink more (she mixed water in his food and literally placed water bowls everywhere). Adreine and her husband played with him a lot and I got back a bit spoiled and very happy pup:). She also has a very quiet neighborhood, with no cars around and perfect for the walks outside. I would highly recommend Adreine and her family for your doggie’s stay!”
“Lora is a wonderful caregiver. She is very kind and conscientious with our dogs. Her home is lovely, welcoming and comfortable. The fenced garden provides lots of good things to sniff. Lora is terrific to work with. We enjoyed the pics of our dogs while we were away. They were so happy at Lora’s!”
“Annmarie was great and took wonderful care of our pup! Our dog loved her yard and being able to play with so many other dogs. Annmarie was easy to work with and communicated well. Would definitely use her again!”
“Elise was amazing with our dog Izzy. Izzy was a bit nervous the first day and Elise went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and safe! Thank you Elise - we look forward to having Izzy stay with you again!!”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”

Anthony and Zanely were absolutely wonderful to work with. This being my first time ever using anything like Rover. They took such good care of my Dep. They sent lots of pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable with leaving my dog with them. 10/10 stars. I recommend them highly.
Sammie had another wonderful stay with Erin and Jon! Always happy to have Sammie stay over as they are such wonderful pet parents! I didn’t have to worry about her for one second and as always got the wonderful updates and videos to keep us informed on how our girl was doing. Thank you for making it so easy to leave Sammie. It is such a huge help! Thank you!
Julie and team were awesome, daily updates, terrific accommodations and the perfect yard for hours of playtime. Our Luke enjoyed his stay and meeting, mingling and playing with the other guests. Highly recommend if you are in the MetroWest area, conveniently located and superior communications.
Jessica was amazing with my giant, goofy lap dog! She was diligent and thoughtful in organizing our meet and greet with her adorable pup. She’s clearly experienced, caring, and responsible. I got some adorable pics of Marv having a swim in her back yard and he was happy and healthy as can be when I picked him up. I’d happily book with Jessica again on my next trip where Mr. Marv can’t join me 🐶☺️
Andrew was a fantastic dog sitter for our mini Goldendoodle, Hop. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he has a Goldendoodle of his own—our dogs got along really well and seemed to enjoy their time together. Andrew sent us daily updates, which we really appreciated, and he was always very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was clear Hop was in great hands the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with Andrew again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bellingham is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $87 per night. On Rover, 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,635 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bellingham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Bellingham 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 Bellingham 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 Bellingham.
<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 Bellingham 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 MA 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.
