“We have been occasionally boarding our dog, Melody, for the past 6 years and this has been the BEST boarding experience we have ever had. I cannot recommend Bridget and Connor enough. They were kind and patient with Melody and kept us updated throughout. This has been one of the few times where I could tell Melody had genuinely felt like she had a vacation like we did. Highly recommend!!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Samantha was utterly amazing caring for my dog, Guru, who was recently adopted from a shelter. Guru is very social, and her dogs got along wonderfully with him. Since Guru and I are still getting to know one another, it was so comforting to receive regular text, photo, and video updates on how he was doing. Samantha was extremely gracious, attentive, and understanding throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend her services!”
“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!”
“First time using this service, so I was a little bit nervous, but the excellent caring for my fur baby with multiple updates and pictures through the whole stay, and even a bath, just made me feel so confident about this dog sitter, that I wouldn’t think twice for rebooking. The place is great for a dog and she even gave me extra dog treats and a toy for my puppy. Highly recommended.”
“Magdalena did a great job watching our dog for the week. She proactively provided updates and pictures and was very responsive. She exhibited great care for our dog asking questions related to behaviors and patterns. Will trust her to watch our pets in the future!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about my pet sitter! She stepped in very last minute on Christmas Day, and I am beyond grateful that she did. She was truly amazing from start to finish. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, letting me know exactly how my dog was doing. She showed up on time for feedings, spent quality time with him, and made sure he was relaxed and comfortable. Seeing how calm and happy he was gave me such peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and that means everything. I would 100% rebook her without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Valentina was absolutely amazing with Choco while I was away! She took such great care of him, he was well fed, happy, and clearly comfortable the entire time. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and her communication was always quick and thoughtful. What I really appreciated was her kindness and flexibility, she was more than willing to help with a few additional requests without hesitation. It’s clear she truly loves and understands dogs. Choco came back relaxed, healthy, and cheerful. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, highly recommend Valentina to anyone who wants peace of mind while away!”
“We have spent a long time looking for a boarding option that we feel comfortable with and I am glad we finally found Brian! He made us feel confident that our pup was well taken care of with his knowledge and love for dogs as well as the pictures and updates we received while we were away. He is very good with communication and was flexible on timing. It was a positive experience in every way!”
“Janet and Jacopo are absolutely amazing!!! If we could give them 10 stars we would! They went above and beyond to make sure our sweet Iris had a great stay with them! From making special chicken (with our consent), to taking long walks throughout the day, they made sure Iris (and we) had peace of mind! HIGHLY RECOMMEND using them when you need a safe place for your fur babies to stay!!”
“Janette and Charles did a great job for my first time having Leo watched. They made sure he was cared for and got along with the other dogs they had. Would recommend them”
“Elva is absolutely wonderful and we would highly recommend her. She watched our two small dogs for a week and was extremely communicative, understanding, and caring. Our dogs can be anxious to new environments and she went above and beyond to make them (and us) feel comfortable while we were gone. We loved the daily pictures and updates, and it was very apparent the dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their stay! Thank you so much, Elva!”
About: I love all types of dogs! I grew up always having a dog in the family, and also have been caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs since childhood. I have experience handling larger dogs, and caring for senior dogs. I have a flexible schedule and am able to work around caring for your dog as needed. My husband also works from home full time, so one of us will always be around to provide love and care. I have a fenced in backyard and two senior dogs who love to have visitors. They get along easily with most dogs, but we'd want to do a meet and greet to ensure everyone gets along well!
“Karen was the best. First time using her as our other sitter was not available. She was so easy to work with. She took lovingly care of our dog and she sent multiple pictures every day. That was so reassuring. Our dog came back happy to us.”
About: I have had the privilege of loving and caring for dog(s) since I was 5 years old. I have raised dogs since they were 6 week old puppies until their final days. I am organized with medication distribution if needed and can follow any cute quirks your baby may need to have that extra attention to detail for them to feel safe and loved. I work full time Monday to Friday from 8 am-4:30 pm. I am available evening hours during the work week and all day on weekends! I have a 3 year old Shetland Sheepdog named Bowie. His brother, Milo, passed away last year, who was my baby since he was 6 weeks old. I would love to take your dog for walks, feed, play, and spend time with your companion. I believe in positive reinforcement for teaching dogs tricks and behavior training.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly adore them! For over 5 years, I’ve cared for neighbors’, family friends’, and coworkers’ dogs—walking, playing, and loving them like my own. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, midday walk , or overnight care, I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pup like family. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m a second-grade teacher, so I work Monday through Friday during the school year. I’m happy to offer weekday overnight stays for dogs who are comfortable being home alone during the school day. My weekends are much more flexible, and I’m typically home and available to give your pup plenty of attention, walks, and frequent potty breaks! I love having a furry friend around to keep me company on the weekends! I live in a cozy apartment in downtown Elmhurst and currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your pup will have plenty of one-on-one attention! I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I’ll always follow their usual routines, respect any special instructions, and make sure they get the love and care they’re used to. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates throughout their stay!
“Rico is an excellent dog sitter for our dog Snow. He is reliable, he sent us daily photos of Snow. We feel so comfortable leaving our dog in their care. Our dog feels at home with them. They have a well-maintained backyard that Snow can play and run around. Rico loves hanging out with our pet and takes extra time to show some love and cuddles. We highly recommend him.”
“Arlene has very good communication with us from the moment we contacted her to check for the availability until we picked up our dog. Our dog enjoyed the stay and we will trust her for future times we will require someone to keep our dog while we are in vacation”

I recently used Andria's service and left my Nina in her care for 10 days. I am very pleased with the overall experience. Andria is very quick in communicating before and during the stay. She sent regular updates and pics during the stay. My pet came home very Happy. Andria and her family took great care of my pet. She is going to be my go-to sitter for all future needs. I highly recommend Andria
Cheryl was a perfect and dog sitter for my 2 year old hyper mixed yorkie. Right away she made "Bentley" feel right at home and provided a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for him to browse both in and outside her home. She treated him as her own pup by catering to his every need. I'm definitely recommending her services at the highest rating possible and will continue to choose Miss Cheryl in the future. You won't be disappointed with her abilities and experience!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Bellwood is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $47 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.
There are 5,451 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Bellwood. About 90% of Bellwood sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
