“We had a wonderful experience with Claire watching our pups. It was obvious when we picked them up, that they were already really fond of her, as they ran back to check in with her after they greeted us with excitement, smiles and barks! I was a little nervous leaving them for the first time and Claire eased my worries with pictures and texts. We will definitely leave Fergie and Josie with Claire again and highly recommend her to anyone else in need of doggie sitting.❤️??”
“When Walter is with Malcolm and his family we don’t worry. We know he’s in a loving caring environment. He loves staying “at camp” and when we ask if he’s ready for camp he gets so excited. Can’t say enough about how well Walter ( our spaz) is taken care of and loved while we’re away. Our thanks to Malcolm and his family.”

Thanks I have tile though out my home - my dogs have free movement- doggy door and fenced yard. We walk around the neighborhood in the morning
“Isha and Tony were amazing! This was the first time we boarded our 3 dogs at someone else’s home so naturally we were very nervous. Isha sent us multiple videos and tons of pictures each day, and I’m pretty sure my dogs had a better vacation than we did lol. If we are in need of a dog sitter in again in the DFW area, we will definitely be using Isha again.”
“As always Destiny was amazing at communicating and being helpful when we wanted to pick up Kit early💕 So blessed!!! Reggie her husband is kind and accommodating as well! Great home away from home for Kit!!”

“This is our second time trusting our Bella with Andrea and Jerry, and once again they did such a great job taking care of our baby and sending us plenty of updates and pics. Bella loves hanging out Loki at their house.”
“Kathleen took such good care of Brownee! Brownee came back home well fed and happy. She definitely got comfortable at Kathleen’s and I’m happy for it. Once again, Kathleen shared updates and pictures throughout the stay, and when I picked Brownee up, Kathleen gave a thorough overview of all happenings. I really appreciate it.”
“Brenda was awesome with our little Lola. She sent me videos and kept me updated all the time. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands. Thanks again Brenda !!!”
“Great communication, both via text and daily pictures, throughout Charlie's stay. Carly gave our girl extra love and cuddles during storms, which spark her anxiety. We felt our velcro doberman was in great hands and would highly recommend Carly to care for your fur baby.”
“Communicative. Good rapport very respectful can’t say enough about Monica, I was lucky enough to come across her profile, she took great care of my bullmastiff Achilles, will definitely recommend her for all your dog needs, she kept me updated, and sent pics regularly. 10/10”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lakeside on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,136 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.
97% 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 TX 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.
