I had an amazing experience with Angie! She truly has a deep love and care for dogs, and she made my dog feel completely comfortable during his stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands while I was out of town. Angie is someone I genuinely trust, and I’m so grateful I found her. 10/10 experience! I will definitely be booking with Ms. Angie again!

Christian was so awesome with our Lucy girl! She stayed with him for 2 weeks and had the best time. He sent us tons of pictures and updates and made our baby his priority. It made being away from her a little easier seeing all the pics and knowing how well cared she was. He treated her just like she was his own. I would highly recommend Christian hands down for your fur babies!!! He will be our only goto when we can't bring our Lucy with us. Thanks for being so amazing!!!

Maya was a very easy sitter to work with. She responds quickly, is very kind, she keeps you updated frequently, and she knows and loves dogs. She was great with giving our boy his medications and keeping up with his demanding puppy schedule. IYKYK. We’ll definitely use Maya again!

Since we have never left our puppy with anyone other than family members and our puppy can be pretty anxious and nervous, I was pretty nervous to leave him with a sitter, but when I met Megan, I knew Barry was in good hands. I knew right away that she had done this many times and my worries about Barry’s anxiety and him still partly using pee pads and anything else that could have happened, he was going to be taken care of and wouldn’t be an issue for Megan. She was always quick to respond from the beginning and gave updates throughout the day and was quick to respond when I asked how he was doing and sent pictures. When I picked up Barry, I met with Megan’s husband who was also very nice and knowledgeable! Would recommend and use again!

They were amazing to my kitty Buggy, super understanding of all my crazy asks and nervous jitters leaving my friend behind. They sent update pictures and even went to the store to pick up more food and treats because I had miscalculated how much she would need. I would definitely use them again.

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!

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!

Mary has kept our dogs many times and we could not be more pleased!! Our girls get excited when we pull into her neighborhood, which is so amazing because we have always felt guilty leaving them when we go on trips. Mary’s dog Chester is a total sweetheart and gets along great with our dogs. We will keep using Mary’s sitting services as long as she’ll have us!!!! And recommend anyone else to do the same. ❤️

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!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lakeland Highlands

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.
