“Gage was awesome! I typically use a much cheaper sitter but she wasn’t available but he was well worth the price! I got constant videos/pictures and updates and he actually spent time with dogs and kept her busy and exercising with his great backyard. It was like she was at a dog park for 4 days! Highly Recommend! Thanks again!”
“Savannah took great care of our high energy Aussies. We appreciated her timely communication and flexibility on our pick up time. Murphy and Jasmine had a great time during their stay.”
“Rodeliza is the epitome of a dog whisperer. She watched our Great Dane and was amazing. I didn’t think he wanted to follow us back home. She gave us daily updates with photos and videos. You can tell that she’s a true animal lover! We truly appreciate her. We would DEFINITELY utilize her services again. Wish I could give her 6 stars.”
“All I can say is “AWESOME”. Madeline took great care of my 2 high maintenance pups for 5 nights. This is my first experience using a sitter and she set the standard high.”
“Amy and her lovely family took Dude, my 1 yo male Lab, for a week. They assimilated him into their pack from day one and made him happy. She shared updates and pictures at least once a day. He’s a handful but they took it all in stride and with aplomb. I’ll def use them again for any of my dog sitting needs!!”
“Brooke is amazing! My dog Bo was in love with Brooke. Brooke is responsive to your messages, provided daily updates and pictures. I am so happy I found her. Definitely will continue to use Brooke when she has availability! Thank you again!”
“Sizzo was so well taken care of while we were away. Letty sent us regular updates and even spoiled him with extra treats! We’ll definitely book her again the next time we go out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Rebecca came through for us after our other sitter fell through. She was great to work with and Butter was very happy with all of the attention he got 😍. I will definitely use her again!”
“Janet made my first experience with Rover (and leaving my baby with someone other than family) very comforting. I was so nervous and I didn’t know what to expect. However, Janet and her family loved on my baby and took great care of him. I received pictures and videos often and communication was ongoing. She was willing to adjust to whatever made him comfortable and that made me happy. If you are looking for a great sitter look no further. Journey and I will be repeat clients. Thank you again Janet. ❤️”
“Booking a stay with Mary was as easy an experience as could be. She was able to accommodate changes on short notice and easily handled my high energy pups with care. 10/10 will book again.”
“Ruby was absolutely amazing! She was extremely attentive to our fur baby. We could tell from the pictures that our Princess was having a blast and was being well cared for. Ruby exceeded our expectations by sending a variety of pictures daily. She even prepared a treat bag for Princess on the day of her departure. Thank you Ruby for being so great!”
“I am so happy to have found Jessie last minute and she did not disappoint. She gave me updates on my puppy both days. And sent pics, I will be definitely be using her services in the future.”
“Titeara was a life-saver for us. We had a family emergency and were called out of town on short notice. Titeara was recommended by a friend and we were very grateful. We couldn't have been more pleased with the service she provided. We have a dog and a cat and they both loved her. Her professionalism, overall confidence and personality really put us at ease. She was able to stay in our home for our entire trip and kept us well-informed with many texts and pictures. We will absolutely request her help again with no reservations. We highly recommend her for anyone in need of her pet care services.”
“I was able to book with Josef last minute, without hesitation she was so eager to meet my 2 girls and got us booked quickly. Price was right! She also kept us updated with messages and pictures. My girls had a blast with Josef. I felt confident leaving my girls with her. 10/10 recommended!!!”
“Shoshana and her kids are so sweet and did such a good job watching Rosie! Highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter. She was very communicative and sent us pictures. We felt so comfortable leaving Rosie with her and were able to relax on our trip because we knew our girl was being well taken care of!”
“She is an amazing sitter. I booked the wrong dates and she was still able to accommodate my needs. Daily updates about my pets. I will definitely be using her services again 10/10”
“Nicole was absolutely wonderful with Atlas! She was incredibly caring and attentive to his needs, and I loved that she sent me updates throughout his stay. It made such a difference being able to see him happy and settled, giving me 100% confident that he was in great hands and being well taken care of the entire time! 🤍 Would recommend and book again.”
“We can’t say enough good things about Myla and Jordan. They helped care for Rooster for a last minute pinch we were in and reassured us he was in good hands. They truly love animals and are well experienced in providing a safe and caring environment. They hosted our pup for a staycation at their house and we will use them again if Rooster joins us again in Memphis.”

We had to go out of town and needed someone to watch our 2 month old puppy Ron and Josef and her family made us feel so comfortable being able to trust her with our baby!! We got the sweetest pictures and videos of him playing with her cute pup Lulo and lots of feedback on how he was doing while we were away. We will definitely be using Josef in the future for any of our puppy needs and highly recommend her!! Thank you again for loving and caring for our baby! 💕
Titeara is a true animal lover. She spoils us with daily pictures throughout the day and Ciara loves the multiple walks and treats. She loves hanging with the top dog in charge, Molly. Titeara is my go-to for every occasion that requires us to house Ciara. Thank you so much.
Jessie was great with our dog Joy. She sent pictures, short videos and updates to let us know how Joy was doing. Jessie was patient and kind to our Joy who was anxious about her first time with a sitter. We are very grateful to Jessie who took extra time and care of our fur baby.
We love Amy and her family so much! Amy is always accommodating to our families every changing schedule without any fuss. She is very responsive and sends us lots of daily pictures of our pup having the time of his life at their home. I love being able to travel while being assured my pup is being loved and cared for by Amy 🤎

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lakeland on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 306 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lakeland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Lakeland sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lakeland landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lakeland 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 Lakeland.
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 Lakeland 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 TN 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.
