“Janet is such a dream! We had our reservation booked for months ahead with our vet’s kennel. We discovered just 3 nights before we were to leave, that our kennel does not have any attendants in the building from 7pm to 7am. Our senior dog has health concerns and we were contemplating canceling our trip if nobody could be with them overnight. After connecting with Janet, we knew our babies would be in good hands with her. She checked in often and sent pictures. Her feedback on their progress of adjusting (they have never stayed overnight away from home) were reassuring and gave us such peace on our trip. Janet has definitely made us feel like we could travel more than one a year now! I truly feel like she genuinely loves my babies 🩷”
“Davis was exceptional! This was my fur baby’s first time away from home and I wasn’t worried one bit. I was provided tons of pictures and updates. I could feel the loving that my Benji received throughout the photos and updates. You won’t go wrong choosing Davis! Your pup will feel right at home!”
“Dogs really liked their stay. Jaclyn and her girls treated our pets really well. Will definitely use her again if the need arises. Why use anyone else once you find a great pet sitter”
“Rebecca was super accommodating when we had schedule changes, and we loved receiving photos and videos. Derby seemed happy and well cared for. We’d definitely use Rebecca and Stephen again!!”
“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.”
“I am so fortunate to have found such a wonderful family to care for my shih tzu and corgi. They both had a blast at their week long summer camp. It was a great opportunity for my 1 year old corgi to socialize and play with other dogs and for my older shih tzu to get a break from entertaining her much younger and larger corgi brother. I cannot emphasize more how relaxing my vacation was knowing that my pets were not just well taken care of but also having a fun time in a safe and nurturing household.”
“WOW! So very, very grateful to have found Amy and her wonderful family! My pup-dog was so well-loved and enjoyed tons of play time, snuggles, and lots of TLC. He had such a good time and was SO happy! When the entire family stood out in the yard to wave good-bye, it was so sweet that it was very hard not to cry! I highly recommend Amy... except if I need her at the same time you do! LOL!! She's terrific!!!!”
“Derek has been the BEST. Super nice and outgoing. And he truly loves dogs and immediately bonded with my dog. He was very responsive and listened to any additional direction I may have had. He sent pics and a video of Sherlock running and playing with his dog. These are the things that put your mind at ease while you're away. I know my dog was well cared for and most importantly welcomed.”
“I had the best experience with Abby. Dutch was always so happy with her and her family. The pictures and updates I go through the time she had him just made me feel at ease. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Gage was extremely fast to respond to all messages. He sent daily pics/video of what my pet was up to so we knew she was being entertained. He has a big open yard with a high fence that is perfect for security. Gage seems to care very deeply for the pets in his charge and I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again.”
“auntie ty was amazing from the start and asked plenty of questions about my dogs to make sure they would be comfortable during their stay. she is very reliable and communicative, she sent lots and lots of pictures and videos. she made me feel very comfortable and i was at ease knowing my girls were safe in her care while i was out of town! will definitely book with her again :)”
“Rashad always does a great job with Harlem. I'm leaving the state and wish I could take him with me. Totally recommend him for high energy poodles.”
“Repeat family here…we love Chryschel! The is the only person I use for boarding my fur baby. Sweet young lady, very personable and my pooch loves her and is excited when he gets to visit.”
“Pleased to find a repeat sitter for my Ellie girl! I will use every time they are available. Highly recommended for your fav 4 legged friends! She's happy to go & play w their Oreo.”
“Madeline was amazing with our French bulldog!! Sincerely a 10/10. She sent lots of pictures, and updated us throughout the week! We were super nervous since this was our first time on Rover but would highly recommend her. Next time we leave we will check in with her first. Thanks Madeline!!”
“Liza was amazing, very friendly lady she has a huge yard where my pup can around with her other dogs. She send pictures throughout the day, keeping you updated all day.”
“Hope is friendly, very approachable and above all nice to my puppy which matters the most. She’s moderately priced. We left our puppy for the first time & we’re very nervous about it. She not only kept us updating about our puppy, but kept sending pictures and videos. When our flight got delayed, she was very understandable about it. I’m certainly going to entrust her again for my puppy’s care & I highly recommend her.”
“Mary was very accommodating. I needed to change my dates and she was very gracious to do so. She was responsive when I texted to check on my dog. I will use her next time Preacher needs a place to stay.”
“Myla was so great! She was easy to talk to and responded to any questions in a very timely manner. My 2 dogs are rescue dogs and showed some initial anxiety when left for the first time. Myla was very responsive and caring and gave them exactly what they needed. She sent updates while we were gone and we returned to some very well cared for and happy dogs. I would highly recommend her!”

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!!!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 302 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.
