“We couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of our little Louie while we were away. Taylor and Andrew were absolutely wonderful! They sent us daily pictures and videos, which we loved receiving. It was so reassuring to see Louie happy, playing with other doggies, getting lots of cuddles and going on all kinds of fun adventures. He had the time of his life!”
“Amber and the family made Cali feel like a member of the family. From the start the technique used to introduce her dogs To Cali was great. Received daily updates and photos. Already have a couple more stays booked.”
“We love Emily! Our cocker spaniel has stayed with her twice now and comes home happy and healthy. The last time we dropped her off, she could tell when we were getting closer to Emily's house and was getting so excited! She ran right inside without looking back and was excited to play. Leaving her with Emily brings us such peace and reassurance knowing she is in good hands. We are so glad we found someone we can trust with our sweet fur baby! Thank you so much, Emily!”
“I wish there was an option to give 10 stars because Dustin and Crystal deserve it! They took amazing care of my senior beagle who requires a lot more attention because of her age. They loved on her and made sure she was comfortable. I got daily updates and photos which was so reassuring that my dog was having a great time. Best of all, I let them know that my dog would having her 16th birthday while she was with them. They went above and beyond to celebrate my pup with treats, doggy ice cream, and even sang happy birthday to her! I am completely blown away at the amazing care they gave my dog. I will rebook with them in a heartbeat.”
“My puppy was really happy when staying for a week with Julia and her mom. This was his first time away from me (and I was a nervous momma), so I appreciated the daily photos and videos of my puppy playing with other dogs that Julia sent to me. Communication was very good prior to booking, and also the week of my puppy's stay.”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Eden was amazing!! I immediately felt comfortable speaking with her initially and then when I met her in person, she was just so kind and a sweet spirit, she genuinely loves animals! Will most definitely be utilizing her services again!”
“Lisa was great from the very start, with excellent communication. We have not left our dogs overnight in someone else’s home before but from the photos Lisa sent, they seem to have fitted in to her home quickly and easily. We appreciated getting updates and Lisa’s flexibility around pick up. Thanks Lisa and I’m sure we will be back soon!”
“Kona spent the holidays at her home away from home! She had a wonderful time with Margaret. Margaret sent us pics of Kona happily celebrating the holidays at her home. As always, Kona loves going to Margaret’s home.”
“Marissa was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. Our dog is older and needs a little extra patience and understanding, and Marissa handled everything with such kindness and care. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cared about making sure our dog was comfortable and happy. She was also an excellent communicator throughout the entire time we were away. Marissa regularly sent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easy to see how well our dog was doing. Those little check-ins really meant a lot. We’re incredibly grateful for the attention and compassion she showed, especially with an older dog who needs a bit more gentleness. I would highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Tyler took such good care of my puppy Yucca! Tyler was very responsive and flexible with the pick up and drop off. I will definitely book again. His place is like a pet resort!”
“Trent & Raysaa took care of my Buddy while I was traveling for two weeks. They sent me regular updates and pictures during the entire time of my vacation. Buddy seemed very happy to be with their dogs and very happy with them overall. He got a lot of exercise and regular attention. I would definitely recommend Trent & Raysaa as really good dog sitters. I will also use them again when I travel and can't take Buddy with me.”
“We’ve used Jason several times and he always does a great job with our boy Eli. He sends updates frequently and is always flexible if we need to shift times based on our travels. We know Eli is well taken care of while we are away. Definitely recommend Jason!”
“Linda provided great care for my mini poodle for 6 nights. I was out of town and Linda sent email updates daily sent one video of her playing. The messages were reassuring that she was happy and safe. When I travel again I will definitely have Linda take care of my dog.”
“Cheryl was a pleasure to work with. Setting up the stay was easy. My little Steven had dental surgery the day before the stay began and had to have seven teeth pulled. He had three different medicines he needed to take for his entire stay with Cheryl. I was naturally very worried about him. After I met her I felt so much better. She reassured me she would give medicine as directed. Cheryl has a kind, caring nature which allowed me to leave my two babies confident they were in good hands. And they were. I give Cheryl a very high recommendation.”
“Savannah was a pleasure to deal with. I really appreciated the phone call before the booking to give an overview of a typical day for my dog. Very courteous and responsive and gave me plenty of updates on how my pup was doing throughout the day. 10/10!”
“Stacy, and her family, are amazing! We trusted our dog with Stacy over a long weekend! She and her family took great care of Nemo. She does a fantastic job with giving us regular updates. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that they give such great care!”
“We had such a great experience! Raquel took amazing care of Bruno and kept us updated with the cutest daily photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious he was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love. He even came home wearing the cutest bandana, which was such a sweet touch! We truly appreciated the care and attention Raquel gave him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside
Julia and her family were wonderful with Louie! He felt right at home, and they treated him like one of their own. He honestly didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. They have a lovely, secure fenced yard where he could roam and explore, and their home was spotless and welcoming. It was such a comfort knowing he was in good hands. I can’t wait to book with them again!
Amber was awesome answering my concerns when we met as I have a 6 yr old rescue dog for only 4 years. We did a trial night and Tiva, my dog was excited to go..Amber sent me a couple of photos of Tiva to reassure me. I feel very comfortable leaving Tiva for a 4 day weekend now knowing she will treat my dog like her own 2 dogs.
We couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of our little Louie while we were away. Taylor and Andrew were absolutely wonderful! They sent us daily pictures and videos, which we loved receiving. It was so reassuring to see Louie happy, playing with other doggies, getting lots of cuddles and going on all kinds of fun adventures. He had the time of his life!
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.
Barbra and her girls wonderful! This was our dog's first time staying overnight with them and they were so patient and understanding while he warmed up to staying in a new place. They made him feel welcome and gave him lots of love and attention. Thank you, Barbra!
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 Dog Boarding - Lakeside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lakeside is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,041 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Lakeside can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
