“Susan was wonderful! She stayed in contact with me during my puppy's stay and sent lots of pictures. My pup was so worn out from all the playtime she had in their big fenced in yard with the other dogs. We will definitely use her again!”
“Vely is AMAZING! I would recommend her to anyone that is looking to have their pet taken care! She made us feel at ease the entire time and gave us several updates regarding Jax! He had such a great time with her. We will definitely be using her again. Give her a try, you won’t be disappointed and you and your pet will have a new friend!! Thank you for everything!!”
“Brianna was great. I met up with her at her home. She took the time to show me around. Made my wife feel comfortable with leaving for dog with her for the stay. This was a first for us using Rover. We were thrilled with the communication & photos provided. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you.”
“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.

Thank you ever so much can’t wait to book with you 2 again ❤️❤️❤️”

She is second to none and her facility is the best environment you can have your dog in while you away on vacation .”

“Alberto was a good fit for my Princess. He understood she suffers from separation anxiety and he gave her extra attention. Will book him again if I need to go away for the weekend.”
“When I tell your that Shelisha made me feel ao comfortable and reassured about my fur babies , she did just that. I was so nervous because I’ve never had my babies shave a sitter but she did her thing. Sent updates,photos, text messages videos. My babies were so happy with her & I love this for them. She is an awesome sitter. Did so well that I didn’t text so much and only one drop in visit . Your fur baboes will be in Great hands with her.”
“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!”
“Diymond and Dante kept us updated on our boy by sending pictures and just update texts to ease our hearts. I’m a bit of a helicopter dog mom but with their check-ins I had no room to worry. Thank you both for loving on our Sunny and treating him as one of your own. And a special thank you to Rizz and Henny (their dogs) for sharing your space lol!”
About: Siempre he tenido perros en mi hogar, por lo que estoy familiarizada con sus cuidados y necesidades. Actualmente tengo un perrito en Cuba que permanece allá debido a su delicado estado de salud. Además, he cuidado a la mascota de mi mejor amiga, prestándole mucha atención y llevándola a pasear. Soy paciente, responsable y trato a cada mascota con mucho cariño. Trabajo durante las mañanas, por lo que tengo disponibilidad en las tardes para cuidar mascotas. Puedo dedicarles tiempo para pasear, jugar, alimentarlas y brindarles compañía y cariño durante mi estancia Prefiero cuidar a las mascotas en mi casa porque tengo un espacio más amplio y un parque justo enfrente, donde puedo llevarlas a caminar, jugar y hacer ejercicio. Sin embargo, si algún día necesitan que las cuide en su propia casa, también puedo hacerlo.
“Kimberly was amazing! She communicated quickly and efficiently, sent us photo updates everyday, and overall made our dogs feel like they were her own. I can’t recommend her enough! It was so nice going out of town and feeling like we didn’t have to worry about our pups - we knew they were in great hands!”
“Cyd Marie was an amazing Petsitter for little Henry. She treated Henry as her own and kept me posted at least 3 times per day - with photos. It was like Henry was on a doggy vacation. I will absolutely use Cyd Marie again and have already asked her if she’d like to care for Henry again.. she said yes!”
About: I can't remember a time that we haven't had at least one fur baby running around the house, so I've been helping care for them for most of my life. I usually work 3-4 days a week, but if I'm not home, my husband is, and he loves caring for fur babies just as much as I do! We have three fur babies of our own: 2 pups and a cat. Our dogs are both around 3 years old- one is a blue heeler mix and the other is a boxer mix, and they both love making friends! The cat doesn't care as much, but he has his own space. I'm a human nurse, so I'm comfortable with medications and medical conditions, I just request you let me know if your fur babies has any medical needs! My husband and I both help take care of fur babies, so one of us is almost always home to be able to care for your kiddo(s). I am more than willing to abide by any rules you, as the owner, set forth. I'm happy to have you approve (or disapprove) any treats that may be available for your fur baby, as they are your child and must follow your rules as well. I would just like to know any dietary restrictions, special needs, and/ or attitudes towards strangers/ other animals. I want to make sure that your pup has an enjoyable time!

Danieris and Julian are HIGHLY recommended. We were thoroughly pleased with the care they provided for our 18 year old, special needs, blind, and demented, silky terrier mix, Paisley. They have their own special needs dog, and because of this, exhibit increased patience and an understanding of the challenges that come with a special needs pet. They followed Paisley's schedule (morning and afternoon walks, am and pm feedings) which resulted in a smooth transition to care in their home, and moved her bed from the living room to bedroom so she could sleep with caring humans close by. They sent regular updates and photos which were much appreciated! The combination of great care provided, with their calm and caring demeanor will keep us coming back! Thank you so much for going above and beyond!
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! 🐾💙

There are 2,195 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lakeland. About 91% 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.
