“Shirley was fabulous! She communicated with us many times a day and sent pictures regularly. Our dog was relaxed and very happy when we brought him home. Thank you Shirley!!”
“Nathan came through for us on very short notice and was great with our senior dog Speedy with daily updates. We appreciate that he was responsive. We definitely recommend Nathan and would rebook soon.”
“Cheryl did a great job of making my dogs feel comfortable in her home!! I appreciate all the pictures she sent and the text communication. I would definitely utilize her services again.”
“Bailey is a dog whisperer. She took care of our poodle mix over the holiday and was extremely communicative and sent pics and videos/ so that we knew he was in good hands. She is so sweet and has a genuine understanding and love for dogs. Highly recommend! !”
“Tamara had great communication and made me feel at ease since it was my first time using this service. My dog loved her stay, and came home tired and happy! Will definitely book again when I need it. Thank you!”
“Julia was great! I had to book a rover last minute. Julia saved the day. We managed to get a meet up scheduled prior to Kiki’s stay. Kiki got a five star treatment. Plenty of communication. I felt like Kiki enjoyed her stay away from home just as much I enjoyed getting a short 3 day vacay. I will definitely book Julia again. Great location. I felt safe leaving her with Julia and I know Kiki enjoyed herself.”
“We had boarded our 14-year-old Springer with her breeder only. Due to an emergency we found Jo'ell on Rover. Liz had a great stay for 5 days and we were most pleased with the daily communication and great care she received. Thank you again Jo'ell.”
“Best dog sitter Rylee (my dog) and I have ever had. It’s her home away from home. She comes home happy, healthy, and super sleepy from all the play. We are so lucky to have found this beautiful family. Thank you!!!!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was young, though never as an official job, mostly for family and friends. I grew up surrounded by animals, including many dogs, cats, and even farm animals. Currently, I have an older Border Collie and a Chihuahua, and they make my days so much better! I love going on daily walks with dogs and playing fetch with them in the backyard. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently not working, so I spend a lot of time at home and have plenty of flexibility to care for your dog. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. Typically, the first thing I do in the morning is let the dogs outside to go potty, followed by breakfast. I also enjoy going for walks during the morning and again in the afternoon, so your dog can get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. i have a fenced yard and 2 trained dogs to keep your baby with company. I have a large crate at home, which I normally only use for my Border Collie during thunderstorms, as it helps him feel safe. However, if you feel that it would be best to separate the dogs at any point, I have the space and can safely accommodate one of them in the crate if needed.
“Brian was great. He kept us updated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and regular messages. Marie seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Thank you!”
“I had a great experience with Ruben. I got daily updates along with pictures, and my sweet girl came home happy and healthy. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Brian was a phenomenal sitter for our pup Cheesecake who has reactivity challenges. We feel so lucky to have found him and highly recommend him! It was our first long trip since adopting her and we were so nervous and eager to find the best overnight dogsitting option for Cheesecake. Not only was he attentive to her challenges and needs, he made sure that she could thrive and have enrichment opportunities both indoors and outdoors. I appreciate Brian's attention to detail, sending updates with photos and videos, and flexibility to do 2 meet and greet before drop off. I truly cannot say enough good things about Brian and his professionalism in caring for our furry friends.”
“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Laurianne and Sven were amazing! They sent updates and pictures each day and I felt like my pup was in good hands the whole time. Will definitely be using them again on future trips!”
“Robby has always been reliable and a great sitter for our dogs. We’ve used their services multiple times from Day Care to long stays and it’s always been a great stress-free experience. This last time he came through and went above and beyond at short notice when we were dealing with an emergency. Really appreciate it!”
“My dog is like my child and she takes very good care of him she send me pictures and videos I don’t even have to ask I never worry with her. Her house is very clean she has a yard for him to run in I won’t use anyone else.”
“Jenny took extremely good care of Harlem and she provided so many updates and photos. Harlem was sad to leave her at the end of his stay! Will definitely book with Jenny again.”
“Malik agreed to take care of our dog for 2 nights, after a last minute, same-day outreach, and I am so grateful for his help! He provided updates and pictures every day and we could see that our dog felt like he never left our home! It’s so apparent how much he cares for dogs, and how excited he is to take them when he is available! Highly recommend him!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bellwood
Robert and his family took excellent care of Spruce while we were away on an extended trip for nearly two weeks. Our pup is a one year old with a lot of energy for playing and had such a blast playing endless fetch in their fenced yard and with the dogs who would come by for in-home daycare. We got absolutely regular updates (with absolutely incredible action shots!) while we were traveling and it was clear to see Spruce was having a wonderful time and was being well cared for, and that knowledge and peace of mind is such a gift especially when we were thousands of miles away. Highly recommend!
This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. Things could not have gone smoother. I met with her in advance of the booking. She clearly loves dogs and taking care of them. My dog is very active and she has a nice backyard for the dogs to run and play. She then had to coordinate with my son on the pickup as I was still out of town. She was very accommodating and helpful with both of us. Will 100% use again!

There are 5,467 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Bellwood. About 91% of Bellwood sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 IL 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.
