“Janet did an amazing job taking care of our dog. Annabelle was well cared for, and Janet sent us frequent pictures and updates on how she was doing. Would definitely let her take care of our girl anytime.”
“Loved the videos and updates. Anxious about letting our puppy go for the first time with anyone, but worries were gone when we met. Highly recommend. Polly will be back.”
“Rebecca accepted our last minute request after another Rover sitter was MIA on drop-off day. We were able to drop off only 15 minutes after contacting her! She really saved us! Keeps multiple dogs at once, but was very friendly and sent pics every day. Our pup seemed happy. Thank you again, Rebecca!”
“Jaclyn was great! When I picked Yuri up, he seemed happy and very comfortable at Jaclyn's home. While he was in her care, she sent me photos and little tidbits of what he was doing and how he was adjusting to being with her and her girls. I was able to enjoy my trip because I felt that my Yuri was in good, loving hands. Thank you so very much, Jaclyn.”
“Ruby is the best pet sitter I’ve had. Ella had such a good time she wasn’t all that excited to be leaving! She loved Ruby and made friends with her little dog. I will definitely take her back to Ruby’s when my next trip comes up.”
“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!!!!”
“Nym was exhausted after staying with Mary. In a great way! Mary was great to Nymeria, prompt with updates and very communicative before and during Nym’s stay. Will definitely book again if I’m in the area.”
“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!!”
“Davis was so kind and took such great care of my Millie last minute as I was driving through town! 10/10 recommend. He walked her and played with her so she was nice and tuckered out for the evening. Obviously amazing with dogs but aside from that, such a warm and welcoming human. Even gave me some great recs for exploring Memphis!”
“Absolute Amazing experience for my first time using this app. I was able to go on vacation without worrying about our sweet fur baby. Thanks for sharing photos & loving on our fur baby. Lori took great care of her!! Highly recommended! Thanks so much”
“Melissa and Dustin are true dog lovers. Sammy was welcomed into their home and treated with love and care. Melissa is also a great new set of eyes- so I found some new resources to use with Sammy! The consistent and fun reports helped us feel at ease while we were away. I can’t wait for Sammy to spend more time with Sunshine and the Danes during daycare! They are a lovely couple who do a wonderful job caring for pets. I highly recommend them!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Kingston really enjoyed his time with Rashad. Rashad was very flexible and he kept me up to date wit Kingston's happiness. I'll definitely let Rashad are for Kingston in the future. Bill”
“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.”
“Shanina was awesome with our fur baby Koda. Very flexible with drop off and pick up times and she communicated very well. We will definitely be utilizing her again in the future.”
“Shoshana (and her family) was the perfect sitter for my senior dog. She provided plenty of updates and was amazing with keeping my dog happy while I was away. Her house setup is perfect for dogs, especially dogs that enjoy hanging out with other pups. I truly appreciate her care for Reagan while I was away and recommend her services for anyone else looking for a reliable sitter to provide loving care for their pets.”
“She Took excellent care of our boy and was super responsive especially to our last minute request and sent pictures of him through the weekend. We will definitely be repeat clients our boy loved being with her!”
“Our dog Gus is blind, and Letty took great care of him, keeping him with other dogs who were calm and mellow, and separating him from her more energetic boarders. He has stayed there before and seemed very happy to “see” her when we brought him back for this stay, which I took as a very good sign.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lakeland on Rover is $38.71 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 299 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.
