“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.”
“Shania is a great host. She's flexible on times and very responsive. Seamless drop-off and pick ups. My kitty loves playing with her daughter.”
“Truly the best person I’ve met on Rover. Hes beyond dependable and will always respond in a timely manner. With working full time and being in school full time, i rely on him for alot. Knowing my dog is with him makes me so happy.”
“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.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every dog in my care. I treat each pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn their needs and keep their schedule as consistent as possible. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I make it a priority to schedule my day around the pets I’m caring for so they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, potty breaks, or evening cuddles, I’m committed to maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and any special instructions so they receive personalized care.
“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”
“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!”
“Cashmere loves Tara and so do I. I love the fact she has other dogs that Cashmere can socialize with. It allows her to become better acquainted and become more tolerable. She also helpful for first time pet owners like me who allow their puppy to do things that they shouldn’t but she help coach the parents.”
“Our 3 dogs had a blast with Chryschel! She took care of them for the entire winter holidays and did everything we asked. Thank you so much for giving them a nice vacation.”
“This was our first boarding experience with our 6 month old puppy. Myra came through for my family in a pinch & we are so grateful. She sent pics of our boy while we were away & he appeared to be in great spirits. When we arrived for pickup, it was obvious that he was comfortable with both Myra and her home, which was very comforting as well. Would recommend.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. Caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve owned and cared for dogs throughout my life, so I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or simply wants someone to cuddle up with while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and become someone you can count on whenever you need reliable, loving pet care! I am a stay at home mom with two little children. I am at home 90% of my day and weeks. When I am out of the house, I am not gone for more than two hours. I am able to attend to dogs and get them outside for playtime and potty breaks multiple times during the day, each day! I have a fenced in yard which allows safe play outside. I have full grass in the backyard as well as some shady areas for the dogs to run around! When the dogs are outside, I will be outside with them at all times.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing pet sitters! I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to watch my pet while I was out of town. They kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. It was clear they cared for my pet as if it were their own. I came home to a happy, relaxed pet and a spotless home. I highly recommend them and would gladly book with them again!”
“We had to leave town suddenly due to a death in our family and Suzanne agreed to take our Maggie at very short notice. Maggie was extremely well cared for and very comfortable with Suzanne and her family and their own furbabies. We received messages and pictures regularly which definitely eased our minds during such a difficult time. I couldn’t be happier that I have found Suzanne and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

About: I’m always free to take care of your pets, I’ll be lovely with your pets since I’ve always been surrounded by pets, and I’ll keep you informed of everything that happens, and in case that you don’t speak English I also speak Spanish.

There are 309 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lakeland. About 95% 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.

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 TN 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.
