“Blu took such great care of my dog! She had been walking with my pup a lot. I had zero worries about my dog receiving many photo updates and knowing Umka was having the best time with Blu.”
“Emily is so kind and took the best care of my Beau while I was out of town. He had an absolute blast playing with Dale and passed out as soon as we got home. I had a nightmare situation that put me late to pick my dog up from her and she was very understanding of the situation. I would recommend Emily to anyone looking for dog care in Arvada and hope to be able to leave Beau with her and Dale in the future. Thank you Emily!”
“As always, Jamie goes above and beyond to make Daisy's stay comfortable. Daisy is an older dog who is sometimes fearful of people and unfamiliar places. But after staying at Jamie's house several times, she wags her tail and can't wait to get out of the car when we arrive at Jamie's house.”
“Highly recommend Laura & Jeremy! They were super responsive and sent lots of updates with photos of my dog. Their space is amazing and I felt very comfortable leaving Brady with them for the weekend. Will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Vesta is incredible! She shared regular updates, took excellent care of our dog Mabel, and gave her plenty of exercise, including hikes, a camping trip, walks, and lots of fetch. Vesta was also extremely kind and accommodating when we had to extend Mabel’s stay due to a health issue with our son. It can be hard to leave your pup with someone- you can feel confident that your furry friend is in very good hands with Vesta. Highly recommend and will absolutely be booking with Vesta again.”
“Jan and Joe were fantastic. I can’t imagine leaving our dog with anyone else now! They were so attentive to her older dog needs and were amazing communicators. Our dog was in a fantastic mood when we picked her up and she normally is fairly anxious and sad when we leave, so I knew she had a wonderful time! She was walked daily and cuddled up to both Joe and Jan quickly. I knew our dog was in good hands the moment I met them and I know both myself and my dog are looking forward to the next booking!”
“So grateful for Mollie and family for their great care of our dog! He had a great time running around with Linus and Mollie sent regular updates to share with us how he was doing. Would book again!”
“Alison took such great care of my pup, sent pictures and updates throughout his stay and made me feel confident that he was content and happy while we were away! Would absolutely book again :)”
“We love Amanda - she took such great care of Bucky! She went above and beyond to get him to eat (he’s a picky eater)! Provided lots of updates and photos each day too which was appreciated. We will definitely add her to our Rover rotation!”
“Kelsey was so awesome while watching Patrick!! We had a meet and greet a few weeks before and she was very knowledgeable about all things watching dogs and asked a bunch of questions to understand Patrick. This was my first time using rover and couldn’t recommend Kelsey enough! Got a ton of pictures and continuous updates! Thanks Kelsey!”
“Our pup had a great weekend at Mitzi’s! She sent us photos throughout and gave us feedback on how he did when we picked him up. She has a huge fenced in yard and really cares about the dogs!”
“Luke and his wife are the nicest people ever. They have a great set up with plenty of both indoor and outdoor space for dogs to play, but also to have separation, as needed. My dog had a blast staying with them for 5 nights and playing with their dog, Brolie, all day every day for 5 days straight. We will definitely be dropping off our dog here anytime we leave town from now on. Highly recommend!!”
About: Hi! I'm Dana. I work in HR, so technically people are my profession — but dogs are definitely more my kind of people 😊. I'm a lifelong dog aficionado and pet auntie. In addition to years of pet sitting, I have fostered 20+ dogs since 2021. I have experience with dogs of all ages, personalities and needs - from bottle feeding 2-week old puppies and house training youngsters to caring for seniors and helping shy or fearful pups feel safe and comfortable. Fostering has taught me that every dog is unique. Some want to be your instant best friend, while others need a little patience and space before they decide you’re okay. I love getting to know each dog's personality, routine, quirks etc. but most importantly I try to meet them where they are. My goal is simple: your dog has a great time, feels safe and loved, and you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I currently work part-time from home and have a flexible schedule, which means plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks and quality pup hangs throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can often accommodate different schedules and routines. For pups staying with me, neighborhood walks are part of our daily routine, with longer walks or hikes sprinkled in when appropriate. There’s also plenty of yard play, enrichment and — equally important — couch time. I tailor activity to the dog, whether I have an adventure buddy who’s ready to go or a senior whose perfect afternoon involves a sunny spot and a good nap. My home comes with two resident pups: Knox, my 9-year-old medium-sized guy, and Billie, my 5-year-old little bearded lady (and former foster fail!). Both are social and enjoy canine company. Because welcoming a new dog isn't a one-size fits all, I can also use gates or crates to create separate spaces as needed. I have a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room to sniff, play and lounge, plus a dog door for indoor/outdoor access when I’m home. I also keep boarding and daycare small — typically just 1–2 guest dogs at a time — so everyone gets plenty of attention and I can adapt to each dog’s needs. For walks and drop-ins, I’ll follow your pup’s usual routine and any specific care instructions. I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates, and I’ll always reach out if I notice anything unusual or have questions.
“Brian was so accommodating and great to my pup. I would highly recommend him he sent frequent updates took great care of my dog. Plus, I was over six hours late getting him and he was nothing but pleasant about it.”
“This was our first time ever boarding Aspen, and as nervous dog parents, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Jill. Aspen is an only child and can be a little needy and barky at times, and she definitely takes a while to warm up to new people. Before the stay, we asked if we could bring Aspen over briefly so she could meet Jill and get familiar with her and the environment. Jill was so kind and flexible in letting us do that, which gave both my partner and me so much peace of mind. To our surprise, Aspen warmed up to Jill and her yard immediately! Drop-off went smoothly, and throughout the weekend Jill took such great care of Aspen. She sent us photos and updates, which kept us in the loop and reassured us that our puppy was happy and doing well. She was also very flexible with pickup since we weren’t sure exactly when we’d be back in town, and that meant a lot. It was such a relief knowing our person-picky girl was in such good hands. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Jill gave Aspen and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful dog sitter!”
“Ashley took great care of our pup Hank for boarding one weekend!! Made us so relieved to know he was in good hands and happy and healthy. Would 100% book again, thank you!”
“Highly recommend Kimberly and her family! They took wonderful care of Riley, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. They went above and beyond to make sure he took the vitamins he needs and felt safe even though he can be a little anxious. We would happily book with them again.”
“Cassandra has been an incredible help during our time in Denver. Being here for my fiancé’s intensive training program, while I work and travel, has been absolutely essential. Thank you Cassandra!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside
Jacob did a great job with Maguire!!! My boy was out on the town and Jacob took him for lots of adventures! Jacob made sure Mackey was safe anytime he was in the apartment alone and stuck to his feeding and care schedule. I got lots of pictures and am sure he would’ve reached out with any questions or concerns had they arisen. The only question Maguire has is when he can come back over to play!
Debra was wonderful to work with. Our dog Penny had a great time staying with her for 4 nights! Debra was very communicative and is clearly a confident dog owner—we knew Penny was in great hands. Debra sent us updates regularly and Penny loved playing with her dogs! We will definitely reach out to Debra for future dog-sitting.
Stephanie was a dream come true for my dog Rabbit. She was attentive to Rabbit’s every need while also communicating with me daily during her stay. Stephanie’s home is well-equipped for dog sitting and I have 100% confidence that my girl is safe and happy while staying there. Will definitely book again!
Lindsay was wonderful! She took such great care of Finn while I was out of town for a couple of nights. She sent thoughtful, helpful updates that gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and in good hands. I really appreciated how kind and caring she was with him!
Tesa was responsive, enthusiastic, and very easy to work with. I could tell immediately at drop-off that she was smitten with my little girl, and that she'd take wonderful care of her. I got several updates with pictures and video. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a competent, compassionate, communicative sitter!
Michael took great care of our dog Jasper! He sent frequent photo updates, took him on a bunch of walks, and it’s clear Jasper was well taken care of and very comfortable! Michael was very easy to communicate with and coordination was a breeze. Looking forward to having him watch Jasper in the future!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lakeside is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $59 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 of November 2026, there are 6,343 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lakeside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeside. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 CO 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
