“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.”

“Cherisse was amazing with my little guy Sampson. It was our first time leaving him with anyone. He is almost 13 years old and doesn't like eating his food anyplace but home. She was able to make him feel comfortable and safe that he ate. I can't even get him to eat outside, so I'm grateful to her for taking care of him. He has always had a hard time trusting because he has been attacked by other dogs. She sent me a lot of pictures so I would able to know he was happy and doing great.”
“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.”
“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!”

“Yusel always does an amazing job keeping our dog. She sends updates with pictures and is very quick to respond. We're so happy we found someone close by to keep an eye on our girl when we go on vacation 😊”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years now. Mostly, they’ve been personal/family pets that I’ve given love and care too. In my time, I’ve cared for two cats and two dogs, as well a neighbor asking me to check in on her cats. I am currently a middle school teacher, so I can board after 4PM on weekdays and am fully available on weekends for services including boarding. During summer and winter break, I am fully available all days of the week. I have a fenced in yard that provides a safe place for dogs to run, play, and use the bathroom. Cats are provided a regularly cleaned space to use the bathroom and a ton of toys that were gifted by a coworker. Both cats and dogs have clearly designated feeding areas so they don’t have to worry about other animals taking from their plates.
“Awesome Family! Truly cared for our Nala and allowed her to have so much fun! Very personable and was very welcoming! Highly recommend her service! Nala definitely had so much fun and are so grateful!”
“This was our second stay with Ms Annette. My silky mix Paisley is 17 years old, blind, and has doggy dementia. She is a special needs dog and requires specialized care. Paisley adjusts easily to her home and is always well cared for by Ms Annette. Highly recommended pet caregiver with a caring, loving, super clean home.”
“Kimberly was amazing! She communicated quickly and efficiently, sent us photo updates everyday, and overall made our dogs feel like they were her own. I can’t recommend her enough! It was so nice going out of town and feeling like we didn’t have to worry about our pups - we knew they were in great hands!”

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!
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 got daily updates and the cutest pictures, and it was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It truly means so much knowing he was in such loving hands. We would absolutely love to use her again in the future, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter! 🐾💛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 1,998 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lakeland Highlands. About 90% of Lakeland Highlands 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 FL 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.
