Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.

While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed how happy and well cared my dogs were. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dogs were relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been in great hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Ashley is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Whitney was awesome when she looked after my puppy. Got a daily update and the pickup/drop-off was such a time saver. My dog is old and can be picky about her sitters but she came back obviously happy. Thanks :)

Maddie and Moses took great care of our nearly senior, very nervous dog. They put us at ease immediately, and we’re so thankful to have found people we can trust with our baby. We appreciate their slow and thoughtful introduction to the pack, as well as their emphasis on safety, boundaries, and each dog’s accustomed lifestyle. Will definitely be booking again.

Took such good care of my pup Kona, provided daily pics/updates and was accommodating on drop off time. They also transported Kona to another dog sitter, as I was out of town for an extended period. Definitely went the extra mile, highly recommend :)

Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.

This was Rosie's first ever boarding outside our house and Hana made Rosie's visit stress-free. Hana was very responsive to my booking inquiry and welcoming when we visited to meet her in advance of booking. Hana sent photos and videos during the stay and I felt very comforted knowing Rosie was in good hands. I would definitely book with Hana again. Thanks, Hana!

Absolute Best. Our girls loved their vacay and we loved all the updates! Nate and Ray were very responsive with messages and proactive with keeping us updated. We flew out of town for several days and had no doubt in our minds that our girls were well-taken care of. They have an awesome backyard with ample space for the dogs to chill out and/or run around. We're pretty sure our girls despised us for taking them home! It was very comforting knowing that our girls were in great hands with their wonderful family. Without question, we will definitely be booking with them for future travels.

I had a wonderful Rover experience with Jonathan. I have a three year old GSP with a ton of energy and he had an amazing stay with Jonathan and his family. The yard gave him ample room to play and run as well as the other dogs to socialize with. My pup came back happy and tired! Jonathan sent me multiple videos and photos throughout the stay and treated my pup like one of his own, which gave me peace of mind. Definitely will book Jonathan again in the future.

Ashley was absolutely amazing with my 6-year-old German Shepherd, Hobbs! From the moment I dropped him off, she was communicative, thoughtful, and kept me updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages that gave me complete peace of mind. She even took the time to give him a really good brushing, and when I picked him up he looked fantastic and genuinely happy. It’s clear that Ashley and her family welcomed Hobbs like one of their own, and I’m incredibly grateful for the love and care they showed him. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter. Thank you, Ashley, and thank you to your family for making Hobbs feel so at home—we’ll definitely be back!

Bianca and her family are amazing!!! So great that I almost didn’t want to write this so I could gate-keep them!! I had to leave my guy to go out of state for a wedding and I’m usually a mess about it but I felt completely relaxed and comfortable this time. Bianca communicated well and I could tell how much they were loving on him. It allowed me to fully enjoy my trip which was priceless. He will be back, he was so comfortable with them. Such a great experience!

FAQs for Boarding - Lakeside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lakeside on Rover is $44.4 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 4,037 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lakeside. 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.

95% of Lakeside 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 Lakeside 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 Lakeside 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 Lakeside.

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 Lakeside 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 CA 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.
