Angie was delightful to work with. She responded quickly, communicated well, and was very comfortable with our 10 pound poodle and her quirks. Price was very fair. She is definitely our go-to person in the future.

What a great sitter! Don't hesitate to choose Christian for your furry baby's sitter. He kept up with pics and info during my dog's stay. He's first on my list next time I need a sitter.

Matt and Nicole did an amazing job with our German Shepherd mix! They sent pics and kept us updated while we were away. They worked with us to modify the booking when plans changed on our end. Would absolutely use them again and plan to on our next trip!

Megan was awesome. There was plenty coordination on the front-end to do an intro to make sure the visit would be successful. We got regular updates about our pup even over the holidays and some great pictures to share with our family. And she and her family will definitely be a keeper for future visits. Absolutely recommend!

Maya was an immediate fit for us. We were able to visit with our Bebe ahead of time & were assured the care would be perfect. Maya kept Bebe for 4 days and sent pictures daily to update us on her daily meals & activity. We had peace of mind while traveling knowing our baby was being very well cared for & would certainly book again with Maya.

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!

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!

It was my first time using Rover so I was nervous. However, as soon I met with Holli, I felt like my dog was in good hands. She really seems to care about animals and has great communication. She kept me updated. My dog didn't want to come home, he had too much fun with his new friends. 10/10 would recommend.

Luz was awesome. She sent no less than three pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Our dog requires medication three times daily and putting our trust in Luz to administer those doses worked out real well. Next time we need a dog sitter, you better believe we’ll reach out to her again.

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 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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,951 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.
