“Janet did an awesome job caring for my 9 year old beagle for almost three weeks while I traveled. She sent me updates with pictures throughout the time period. She took her to grooming and dealt with giving her meds and her special needs. I would highly recommend her to others in need of a pet sitter.”

“This was our first time ever using Rover or even someone outside of our family to watch our sweet pups. Jaclyn was amazing!! She kept us up to date on how the pups were doing and sent us pictures.

About: My kennel is family run and provides personal, loving service. I have 7 stalls available, each with a doggie door leading to an enclosed outdoor area. Nestled in the woods just south of Millington, your furry friend will enjoy privacy, nature and the love of three teenage daughters, under my supervision, in your absence. If you would prefer only an adult handling your pet, that will be respected. I know your pet has individual needs, and I'm here to meet them. The kennel is located on my property, so I am constantly present and available. Pets will be fed, walked, given treats or medication, and played with on your requested schedule. Each dog has their own stall and a personal fenced in outdoor area that is accessible all day. There is a double stall available for an additional fee if you would like to leave them with more space. There is a larger fenced area where they can be let out to play daily, with other dogs or alone. I am also available to leash walk them around our 30 acres of grass and woods. I want your pet to be relaxed and enjoy their time with us, so just tell me what you want and I'll make it happen.
“Megan is always there when I need her too. Reese’s loves going to her house and playing. She gives daily updates as well. I was nervous when he first went because he had never been away from home, but he has been back two times after that! He always comes back tired from having so much fun.”
“Abby was so patient with Mowgli. It was Mowgli’s first time being boarded without family. He had an anxious accident in his crate, and Abby was very gracious about the clean up. Mowgli was an anxious boy for his first boarding, but he did have a wonderful time cuddling and sleeping with Abby and playing with her dog Theon, who is the sweetest boy!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lakeland is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Lakeland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lakeland home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
