“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!!!!”
“I was a little skeptical at first due to this being our first time leaving Boba with someone. I felt better after Nadia sent a pic of her laying in the floor playing. Definitely would recommend.”
“Davis was the most attentive sitter we’ve ever had! Our dog was clearly so so cared for and loved and we got so many adorable pictures. She’s normally really anxious, but I could tell she was so happy the whole time!! Would leave her with him any time.”
“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 :)”
“Shabnam was wonderful! She gave us daily picture updates and was always quick to respond to messages. She was flexible with drop off and pickup times and our dogs have been so sleepy since being home so I know she kept them busy. Highly recommend!!”

“Stella was well taken cared of by Meliss and Dustin. They sent videos (several a day) plus photos, which made me feel good as we could see her as we were away for many days. Thank you,”
“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.”

“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.”
“Vicki did great with Louie! She took him for long walks, gave him lots of fruit/veggie treats, and spent time playing with him. He loved his stay! Will book Vicki again!”

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.
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 🤎

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 315 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
