“Angela provided exceptional care for Mousse during our ten‑day trip. Since this was the first time we’d ever left him — and given his anxiety and barking — we expected it to be difficult. Instead, Angela handled him with confidence and kindness, and he quickly warmed up to her and her beagle, Kona. Her frequent photo and video updates while we were in Japan made a huge difference for us. She ensured Mousse stayed active, comfortable, and well‑supported with walks, playtime, and dog‑park visits. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family.”
“Moose 2nd time here and he loves it. Ximena and her whole family is very passionate with Moose. He loves staying at their home. For Moose, it's like home.away from home ❤️❤️❤️. Definitely will rebook again.”
“Marby is our dog, Morty, favorite dog sitter! She's super communicative with updates and photos so you always know how they're doing every day and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in her home. This is our second time having Marby dog sit and we highly recommend her to anyone!”
“We were nervous to leave our baby with someone other than our parents but he had a great time and Ness sent pictures and let me know he was doing great. By the end of trip I was nervous he wouldn’t want to come home because of how happy he looked with Ness and her dogs. Would definitely use again!”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter and truly cares for the dogs she watches! My dog had a medical issue during boarding and she went above and beyond to change out his food and provide me updates. Couldn’t be happier”
“Corinne and Louis are amazing! You can tell they really care about dogs and they treated Wallie like their own. I was sent several updates and they communicated very well throughout the day. We plan on using them again!”
“Soonok was so wonderful in caring for our dog Enzo. If you’re looking for a compassionate dog sitter who gives lots of attention to your fur baby, she is the one! Enzo is usually anxious when boarding at larger facilities. We had a long trip and were worried he would be too stressed, so we found Soonok. After Enzo’s stay with her, he came home calm and relaxed. She sent us photos and videos and we could tell he was having a happy time with her. Thank you Soonok!”
“Moose (4yr old male goldendoodle) always has a great time under the care of Maritza. Martitza is gentle with Moose and provides me with updates and pictures/videos throughout the day. Moose gets to relax and play with other pups and is always meeting new friends. Moose and I are truly grateful!”
“Joshua and Jennifer were absolutely amazing. I felt so comfortable leaving my two pug babies with them for the weekend knowing they were in such good hands. They had so much fun and were even spoiled with Halloween doggy treats, even came home with little goodies! Jennifer was wonderful with communicating with me the whole time as well which was huge for me. Thanks you guys! Will be taking them here again :)”
“I really appreciate Mollie caring for our Teddy and making good judgement on when to walk him and for how long considering the heatwave the city was experiencing. I was also thankful for the updates and pictures throughout his stay. It was obvious Teddy was enjoying his time with Mollie and her family. I highly recommend Mollie!”
“Savannah is exceptional! I don't trust many people with my baby, but she puts me at ease with the clear love for dogs she has. Love hearing updates on how the day is going and the pictures. I'm thankful to have found her.”
“Will definitely go back to Brittanie any time I need a boarding service for my dog. She and her son were so caring and my dog was sad to leave when I picked him up. Dogs have a nice space to run free, and her dogs are really friendly too and get along with new comers. Thank you Brittanie!”
“Yvie took great care of our Maggie. We will be having some play dates soon. She was more than willing to send pictures and message with us. We had never left Mags with a Rover sitter. We are so thankful she was safe with Yvie.”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining each dog’s regular routine. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog feels at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and peace of mind. You can count on regular photo updates, reliable communication, and dependable care throughout your dog’s stay. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make their time with me fun, safe, and as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m available for weekend boarding and love giving dogs a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home. Every dog receives personalized care based on their routine, energy level, and personality. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggles, or simply relaxing in a quiet environment, I make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved throughout their stay. Please message me with your scheduling needs and I will do my best to accommodate. Thank you <3 Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I closely monitor them during play and throughout the day. A crate is available if your dog is crate-trained or if they feel more comfortable having their own quiet space.
“This is overdue from our last trip. Angie is wonderful with our big boys and my mom’s medium sized high energy girl. They cleary like it there as they pull to see her at dropoff haha. We feel lucky to have been able to utilize her services and would recommend to anyone!”
“I’ve been so worried about finding a sitter who will be as patient with my baby as I am and I definitely found that with Laura! I felt so at ease knowing that he was in her care because she treats every pup like royalty 🩵👑”
“Chris was a great dog sitter. He cared for Bleu like his own and kept me updated with photos in a daily basis. He even was kind enough to meet prior to the boarding to socialize our dogs and ensure they got along. Definitely keeping Chris in mind for future dog sitting 😊”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to make each walk or visit a positive experience. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs. I schedule my day to ensure each pet gets the time, attention, and exercise they need without feeling rushed. Safety is my top priority. I keep dogs securely leashed during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort. After each visit, I provide photo updates and a summary so owners know how their pet is doing.

Marby was great taking care of our babies! They have stayed with Marby on both daycare and up to 4 nights of boarding. Marby makes sure they get decent walks and sent regular updates. I could tell when I picked them up again that they were very content and mellow from all the activates. Thank you so much for taking care of them Marby!
I cannot say enough good things about Brittanie and her family! I had to send a last-minute boarding request, and Brittanie responded super quick to help us out. We easily set up a meet and greet, and the moment we arrived, we knew right away that she and her family would be a perfect fit to take care of our Hershey Bear. Throughout the entire stay, the communication was absolutely wonderful. Brittanie consistently sent us reassuring photo updates showing how much fun our fur-baby was having playing with Tucker and the other pups. It gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Honestly, Hershey has been a little sad since coming back home because he misses his fun vacation time with Brittanie and her family so much! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch pet care, and we will definitely be using them again in the future.
Angela D handle my two dogs very well. My older dog Honey was having difficulty and Gigi being younger was would get in her environment but Angela seemed to handle the situation well. Taking them frequent walks calmed them down. She was patience with them which I loved and kept me updated on a daily.
Our whole experience with Bella was great! This was our first time ever using a dog sitter and leaving our Frenchie Romeo with someone. Bella made everything so simple, from the meet and great, drop off, pick up, etc. Bella communicated as promised and welcomed Romeo into her home as part of their family. I could see that Romeo was enjoying himself. From our initial meet and greet, we knew this was the sitter for Romeo. We definitely recommend Bella and we will use her again!!
My first time using rover and Stephanie was so wonderful! My pup stayed at her house and had so much fun with her pup and playing in the backyard. Drop off and pick up the as a breeze, She sent multiple updates every day and was so responsive. I would absolutely use her again!
Andrea was amazing! I’ve never left my 9 year old dog with anyone and was extremely nervous and she immediately made me feel comfortable. She allowed my dog to first get familiar with her and her home before I left. I receive a countless amount of videos of my dog, leaving no questions in my mind if my dog was ok. I would absolutely book with Andrea again.
Lindsay was awesome!! We had such a great experience with her! From the moment we met, we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog, Valentina with her. Lindsay was very communicative, responsible, and professional. We loved receiving updates, photos, and knowing that she was happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We will definitely return to Lindsay in the future!
Yasmin (and Olivia) were excellent pet sitters. My 105 lb labrador retriever was looked after well. He was their priority during his stay. Yasmin kept him busy with walks and runs. He was so exhausted that he slept as soon as we got back home. Was the calmest I had ever seen him. I would definitely return as a customer. I highly recommend Yasmin for boarding needs.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lakewood on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 10,004 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lakewood. 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.
94% of Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood 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 Lakewood.
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 Lakewood 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.
