“What a wonderful experience my dog Izzy had with Marcy! Izzy is a 7 lb Morkie that is terrified of other dogs. The bigger the dog, the louder the dog, the more terrified she is, which makes boarding her difficult. Izzy had a great time playing with Marcy’s 5 lb. Betty Boo, so it was a great social experience for my dog. Marcy also is terrific - I knew my dog was getting the best of care in my absence, and all for a reasonable price. I will definitely use Marcy again and if your considering Marcy, don’t hesitate!”
“Jean (Charles) and his wife are absolutely amazing with Luna! She is always so excited to stay with them, and I peace of mind knowing she’s getting the absolute best care possible.”
“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”
“Heather and her family were absolutely amazing!!! They deserve more than a 5 start review, they treated my Domino with so much love and kindness!! I will definitely be using Heather again!!”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful with my Max. She sent pictures of him playing with Chester and enjoying life. She made me feel so comfortable leaving him for a week and not feeling concerned at all. I think Max found his new second home when we travel. This is such a blessing as it’s hard to find someone like Mary. Thank you again for making him feel so at home.”
“Great communication and daily updates with photos were all greatly appreciated during Archie’s stay. It looked like he had a blast from all the photos. We were even running behind on our travel back due to unexpected traffic and Sydney was able to accommodate us which we appreciated greatly!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are so grateful to have found Mikalyn. She kept our two dogs, Chico & Gus, overnight for 6 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chico is a rescue with high anxiety and needs consistent human contact, reassurance, and patience. Mikalyn was incredibly kind, attentive, and understanding of his needs. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands and getting the comfort he needs to feel safe. Both dogs were well cared for, relaxed, and happy when we returned — a true sign they were loved and looked after properly. Mikalyn was reliable, respectful, and clearly takes her role seriously. We would absolutely book Mikalyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and trustworthy sitter, especially for dogs who need a little extra care. 🐶💕”
“What a wonderful feeling to know your fur babies are being taken care of and genuinely loved on, while you are away!!! We received several updates, pictures and videos during their stay with Eyran. They, along with their belongings came back clean. I’m fairly sure Eyran vacuumed their beds! Thank you so much Eyran for opening your home and your heart to Bella and Koa. We appreciate you!”
“Amy watched my dog, Cookie, for a week. This was the first time I ever left my dog. Amy was fantastic! She kept me informed daily how she was doing and sent pics. I had no hesitation of leaving Cookie with Amy. She followed the instructions I left for Cookie and went beyond my expectations. I would use Amy again and not look for a new sitter on rover. She was awesome!!!!”
“Would ABSOLUTELY book again....We have an elderly dog and a youthful one and Iris was amazing with both of them. She was so good with sending pics/videos without me even requesting them. We definitely plan to book with her again. Her home was beautiful as well. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend Iris, she is AWESOME!!!! :)”
“Samantha and Wendy as well their amazing dog family were so welcoming secure and comforting to our Knight. Got plenty of playtime, naps, and love/care just like mom and dad would as we were gone. There was such great communication and never a doubt in trust or security as they’re always keeping up with updates as well as pictures/videos. Thank you ever so much can’t wait to book with you 2 again ❤️❤️❤️”
“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”
“Excellent sitter. She was able to take us last minute for a 5 day stay. Our pup was well taken care of. Highly recommend and we will use her again if we are ever in the area again.”
“Angel is amazing. He took great care of our 3 dogs and had great communication. He sent us pictures throughout the day to let us know that they were doing great. I highly recommend Angel!”
“Melina takes great care of our little London. When I grab her overnight bag for Melina’s, London gets so excited the day before. She runs to the car and can’t wait for me to step aside. We take more trips and travel knowing we have a great sitter. I highly recommend Melina.”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and know they’re part of the family. I have a 5 year old French Bulldog named Bruno, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with lots of love, attention, and care, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, potty breaks, or cuddles, your pet will never feel like they’re being left alone for long. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I do not have a fenced yard, I have access to a community dog park, which is available as an option with your approval for dogs who enjoy socializing and playing. I also have a friendly 5 year old French Bulldog. I will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“EXCELLENT LOVING CARE!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! My 17 year old, special needs, completely blind, silky mix dog, Paisley, who also has dementia, stayed with Ms Annette for 8 days while we were on vacation. We were able to bring Paisley to meet Ms Annette prior to boarding her. Things could not have gone better. Ms. Annette was patient, kind, caring, and gave Paisley time to come to her and be comfortable. Her home was spotless as was the separate grooming / boarding area. Dogs have use of / access to both the boarding and home areas, as well as a spacious, outdoor, shady, grassy backyard area to play. Ms Annette even allows dogs on her couch. Because of her age and special needs status, it became impossible to leave Paisley at a typical kennel as they were unable to provide the specialized care and attention she needed. Ms. Annette was able to provide the specialized care needed, provided a lot of love and belly rubs, and even taught Paisley to use her doggy door!! She kept Paisley under her usual home routine which resulted in a smooth transition home. When going to pick her up, Ms Annette greeted me with Paisley in her arms. Paisley was clean, as were her doggy blanket and bed. During her stay, Ms Annette sent daily updates, photos, and videos, confirming Paisley was adjusting well, had made new friends. Ms Annette is 100% recommended. Great care! Lots of love!! Communicative! Board your pet worry free knowing they’ll be very well cared for with Ms. Annette!”
“Honestly couldn’t be happier! Would definitely recommend them to take care of your fur babies. Great communication, very easy going and flexible and most importantly they truly care for your pets as their own.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Lakeland is $40

Great communication and daily updates with photos were all greatly appreciated during Archie’s stay. It looked like he had a blast from all the photos. We were even running behind on our travel back due to unexpected traffic and Sydney was able to accommodate us which we appreciated greatly!
This was our first time using Rover so I was very nervous. We all know our pets are our babies! Our Zoro fell in LOVE with Danieris and Julia instantly and that alone calmed my nerves. They sent updates the whole time and expressed how much they enjoyed him. I would book with them everytime if I have the choice.
Cherisse took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away for a few days. One of my dogs has separation anxiety, and she went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, eating well, and getting the attention she needed. Cherisse sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Her home also has a fully fenced yard, so the dogs could safely roam and play. When my dogs are with Cherisse, I know they are in great hands.
Alberto is very friendly and interacted with my cat and sent photos while I was away. With having an anxious kitty, I’m glad to see she got comfortable there playing with his cat as well as curiously inspecting around and finding a high spot to look from above. She instinctively did what a cat does which makes me think all went well.
Maria took great care of Loki! Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she made sure he was treated with so much kindness and attention. I really appreciated how well she looked after him, Loki was happy and comfortable the whole time. I would definitely book with her again! 🐾💙

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Lakeland on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 2,152 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lakeland. About 90% of Lakeland 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 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 FL 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.
