“I was super nervous boarding my dog for the first time but Lauren made this experience better than I thought it could be right from the beginning. Constant updates, give him his medication and took great care of him. Definitely recommend!”
“Molly loved Carl and Linda! She came home happy and relaxed. This has never been the case previously, she was always exhausted and stressed after a stay away from home. Thank you Carl and Linda! Molly will definitely be back 😃”
“We just picked up our dog, and as usual, he had the best time with Joanna. He’s played so much, he’s been sleeping since we got home. When Whiskey is at Joanna’s, I don’t have to worry about him at all!”
“Cashew seemed to really enjoy himself. Krystal sent us pictures throughout his day. Each picture showed him posing and smiling and very attentive. She took very good care of him. Once i got cashew in the car he still watch her place as I drove off. We definitely recommend. Cashew gives 4 paws up 🐶👍🏻 😀”
“We were happy to find Jolene as it was nice to know that our dog would have some cat and dog company whilst we were away. As an older boy traditional dog boarding wears him out. He just wants to nap in peace with a like minded companion. Upon meeting Jolene I felt confident that Sampson would be comfortable and well looked after. We enjoyed the photo updates provided during our absence. I believe Sammy dog enjoyed his time. Thank you. Jolene. It was lovely to meet you.”
“A true blessing! I could not recommend a sitter more than Carie!!! The whole trip she sent so many photos and updates of all the fun Nugget had while I was away. Nugget isn't able to see well/ walk much, but Carie and her wonderful son put him in a bike trailer and stroller and let him go see so much. I think he had more fun than I did! A++, If you are looking for someone to watch your baby pet then 100% get Carie.”
“Kendra was AMAZING and the sweetest! I truly loved receiving all the updates and she even went out her way to meet up for drop off and pick up. Will for sure book her again! ❤️”
“John was extremely accommodating and made Brady feel right at home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Brady was in such great care. John kept me updated, treated Brady like family, and made the entire experience stress-free. I would absolutely trust him to watch Brady again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“Mark was great with our dog. He made Bentley feel right at home. Mark was great with communication and flexible with timing of drop off and pick up. Will definitely use him again.”
“Super helpful and went out of his way to help me with Noni while I had an injured knee. You can tell he loved and cared for her like his own. Plus, his other dogs wore her out in the best way.”
“Anthony took care of our fur baby while we were on vacation for 11 days. He was communicative, kept us informed with messages and photos. The dog was well taken care of, and happy. Thank you Anthnoy.”
“Sherri (and Preston) took exceptional care of our baby while we were gone! She understood his separation anxiety and allowed him to stay close to her, when she could. She dealt with our raw food requirements and he actually ate most of his food (unusual, when we're gone)! She kept us updated and sent plenty of photos & vids. I can't recommend her highly enough!!!”
“Thank you, as always! Our pups LOVE Lori and her family (especially Honey pup 🍯)! We know we don’t have to worry about anything when they are with her! The photo updates showing them playing and having fun are amazing. Thank you, again!”
“We are so happy to have found Susan and Hadassah. This is our first time leaving our fur babies with not a family member. What we can say is Susan and Hadassah are now a part of our family. They treated our fur babies with the same kind of love and care as we do. Our fur babies were so happy all the time. Susan always kept us updated and sent us messages about them. We were at ease knowing that our fur babies were being taking care by a wonderful and caring person. Thank you so much Susan and Hadassah for being amazing. Duke and Bruce will 100% be back again.”
“Mya has watched our dog multiple times on very short notice. She is very communicative and open to working with the dog owners on care, pick up, drop off, etc. Maybe more importantly, her dog got our dog to play and run around when he is normally pretty lazy.”
“We absolutely loved having Christine watch our boys! This was Louie & Reggie’s first time staying with her and she made the whole experience so flexible and stress free. She sent us so many pictures/videos and detailed updates, which we loved seeing while we were away on our cruise! It was very clear that our boys were getting lots of love and attention and were truly being treated like they were at home. We’re so thankful we found Christine and would 100% have her watch our boys again! ☺️❤️”
“Javier & Milagros earn every bit of 5 stars…from the meet and greet where they accommodated us, the photos and video througj his stay and the pick up. They were very warm and loving to Rex. He was very happy with them. I almost dont want to continue to rave about them for selfish reasons ?. Will definitely use again!”
“I am so glad I found April & her family! I had to go out of town on an emergency & reached out to them 2 days before I had to leave & they did not hesitate to welcome my puppy. They were so friendly & accommodating! I felt completely comfortable leaving Saije with them. She loved them from the start & IMMEDIATELY jumped in Mr. Thomas's arms & began kissing him! I kissed Mrs. Thomas (April) also! Lol. She felt right at home & so did I. They sent pictures of her playing & having a ball. They're are very communicative & kept in contact with me to give updates. If you're looking for someone to take care of your FurBaby, please connect with them!! I'm so glad I found them. Whenever I need a sitter for Saije, They will be her new home away from home. Thank you SOOOOOO much, for taking care of my baby!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bellwood
I left my little rambunctious angel, Moksha, at Fiorella’s place for the weekend due to an out of state trip. My puppy was happy running around in the big backyard. I could tell she felt at home. Fiorella has a sweet personality and treats the dogs lovingly. Her family home exudes love. I highly recommend Fiorella to anyone looking for a safe, loving home for their pup, and I will definitely be booking with her again!

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 Bellwood 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 Bellwood 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 Bellwood.
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 Bellwood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Bellwood 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 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.
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.
