“We were recommended Mrs. Vlasta's Boarding services when we urgently needed them the following morning. When we contacted her, we were fortunate to find she was available, she immediately said yes, and not only that, but she was also able to pick up our Golden Retriever from the hotel where we were staying. She was very generous, kind, and full of affection for our Van Gogh. She also sent us many messages and photos. We could see how comfortable, attentive, and playful our dog was during his short stay. We recommend her 100% and hope to use her services once again!”
“This is the first time I had to leave my dog. I rarely travel. I was so nervous. I met Mary and Nick prior to my trip. They asked questions and made me feel at ease. I received daily pictures. I would definitely use them again if I travel.”

“Words can’t describe how amazing Ashley is. She does an amazing job at getting to know your pup and making sure you are secure that your pup is left in safe hands. From the beginning we arranged a meet and greet and she took her time to show us were our pup will be and what his care will include. Made notes of our pup needs and what he is used to to make sure she provided it while we were gone. She exceded all of our expectations. Made sure to keep us updated on our pup on a daily basis! She gave us such a peace of mind. Truly blessed to have her and will be bringing my pup back to her ALWAYS!”

She was very attentive, and extremely communicative, sending frequent updates that helped me feel confident Sage was in great hands. Her calm energy and genuine affection made Sage instantly comfortable. It’s rare to find someone who is both highly reliable and truly caring,Jenny is exactly that. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.I wish lived closer to us because she would most definitely would be sage’s only sitter hands down.”

About: Hey! I have grown up with dogs, cats, and livestock and have experience as a vet tech. I would love the opportunity to care for your babies! I work from home October through April so have plenty of time to drop in to care for your animals. I also enjoy walking so would love to have you baby tag along for that. Currently have three dogs that go on two walks a day and have outside play time. I would treat your fur baby like it was my own, and of course send you plenty of pictures/videos.
“What a terrific time my dog had while staying with Ms. Jessica and her family. I received constant update, pics and videos of my dog throughout his stay. Very responsive and dog loving family. Will definitely come back.”

Raquel and her family are excellent dog sitters! You can tell they really care about what they do, and love your pet while they have them! We would highly recommend her and her family if you’re in this area. We drove 30 minutes out of the way to have them watch our Ollie, and it was well worth the drive!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lake Wales is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $39 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 1,074 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lake Wales. 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.
95% of sitters in Lake Wales 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 Lake Wales 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 Lake Wales.
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 Lake Wales 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.
