“What a blessing. Christians love of animals shines brightly. His attention to detail and excellent communication is unmatched. I have never met a care giver more dedicated to the joy, health, and well being of another left in their care. ⭐”
“Buddy loves Maya and Kevin! They take such good care of our furry boy when we travel. We can’t recommend them enough! They are absolutely excellent, kind, understanding and communicative. You will be so happy you chose them!”
“Angela and Jorge were so good with our poodle Bailey! They made us feel comfortable in their home and Bailey to feel welcome. The communication was superb and we felt she was well cared-for and happy. We will definitely use them again.”
“Megan and her family are very kind and accommodating people. My Finn loved his stay and didn’t want to leave… there is a wonderful yard for guests to play… and he was taken on leashed walks. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again and I highly recommend her.”
“Thank you so much for watching our boys, George and Cooper, again! It’s great to find someone who loves our boys as much as we do! Thank you again, and see you next year!!”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Lilo. When I picked up my Lilo she wagged her tail and it gave me a sigh of relief because I knew she had a great time. I will be using them again for any occasion if Lilo needs to be taken care of. I’m happy I chose you. Thank you!”
“I cannot express how amazing Mary is! She took such good care of my babies and kept me updated constantly. I was afraid of leaving my dogs behind for the first time but Mary just won us over from the second we did the meet and greet! She is so understanding and goes above and beyond for the pets she cares for. I am so thankful for the wonderful care my dogs received and I will definitely be a returning costumer!!!”
“Joanne was amazing with my 4 year old rescue dog Juniper. We have had her less than a year and we have never left a pet with anyone except family. This vacation we needed someone other than family to keep her for a week. Because she is a bit anxious and has a specific diet, I wanted someone with experience and a loving home to welcome her as their own for a week. Joanne fit the bill, sending me notes on her care, photos and videos of her interaction with other dogs. She went above and beyond caring for Juniper, giving her the love as well as the care and patience needed to get her out of her shell while staying with her. I will definitely use her again with no reservations!!! She deserves a 10 star review but they only allow up to 5, so she gets a 5 + plus from me. Thank you Joanne!!! From Cheryl H.”
“Great communication and daily updates with photos were all greatly appreciated during Archie’s stay. It looked like he had a blast from all the photos. We were even running behind on our travel back due to unexpected traffic and Sydney was able to accommodate us which we appreciated greatly!”
“Love love love Karla! This was the first time using this app and trusting our 3 fur babies to a new person. Karla is very sweet and caring person and our dogs loved her. We were away for a week and during this time we stayed in contact to check on the pups , she sent us pictures almost daily with updates. Our dogs love her and so do we. Will be staying our dogs with her again! Thank you ❤️”
“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”
“Kyli took very good care of our boy Rico and made sure he had tons of fun. We appreciated all the videos and updates she sent us while we were away they helped us have peace of mind while this is the first time we were away from him for this long. Definitely recommending and booking again when we need someone to watch him.”
“Angelica was absolutely amazing with our dog, Frankie! She was very attentive and took excellent care of him. The daily pictures and videos truly gave us peace of mind while we were away. We could tell Frankie was happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Angelica and will absolutely book with her again.”
“Clarissa and her family are absolutely fantastic! From the moment my pups and I walked in they put all my worries at ease and truly treated my pups as their own with respect and making sure their needs and comfortability are prioritized. Clarissa was amazing with communication and even sent update pictures that really made me worry free. My dogs came back happier I’m definitely going to be booking again with them! Thank you Clarissa Noelle and Luke has a blast with you!”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care our fur baby received over Thanksgiving! She was incredibly sweet and made us feel completely at ease while we were away.

We couldn't be happier with the care our dog receives! Angela & Jorge are reliable, caring, and truly treats our pup like family. It's such a relief knowing our dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while we're away. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
Christian was great! We will definitely book with him again. He is very knowledgeable about dog behavior….. especially with our quirky Murphy. We appreciate his updates and photos on our trip. With his care and compassion for Murphy, I don’t think he missed us too much😝
This was our first time using Rover so I was very nervous. We all know our pets are our babies! Our Zoro fell in LOVE with Danieris and Julia instantly and that alone calmed my nerves. They sent updates the whole time and expressed how much they enjoyed him. I would book with them everytime if I have the choice.
I am so thankful for having the opportunity to leave Riley with Angie at her house. She is a pro!! Angie was caring and firm with Riley who is very playful and needed some behavior correction. She did it with passion and love. She is a natural dog sitter. Also, Angie is super organized, her house is clean and cozy. The yard is properly maintained. I highly recommend Angie and I am definitely planning on using her professional services again soon.
Melissa was a wonderful babysitter for our fur-baby, Chevi💗 She was so thoughtful of our feelings of leaving her with someone we didn’t know before. She sent us several pictures every day of their walks, which is Chevi’s favorite thing to do, along with playing Tug-o -war with her stuffed animals. Chevi had to be on a specific diet for a while and she did great at making sure that this diet was followed. Melissa was a great comfort to us during this time away!!
Maryanna was absolutely amazing! She was attentive, kind, and truly treated our dog like her own. She kept us updated and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We picked up a happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend her, we’ll definitely book with Maryanna again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lakeland Highlands on Rover is $42.18 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 1,999 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lakeland Highlands. 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.
97% of Lakeland Highlands 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 Highlands 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 Highlands 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 Highlands.
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 Highlands 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 FL 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.
