“Excellent overnight stay! Our dog Tiki was well cared for, happy, and comfortable. Great communication and a very positive experience overall. Would definitely use again. Highly recommend Patricia and Tyler!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our furry love ones. They were so happy Buster didn’t want to leave. I am very happy to have found you will be first on my list for the next time.”
“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.”
“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
“Lindsay was a great dog sitter for my dog foxy. Foxy had an overnight stay at her home with her two dogs and it was wonderful. Lindsey was very flexible with my schedule and would keep me updated on the dogs daily activities. She is very attentive. I will use her services again.”
“Linna was very responsive and constantly sends updates. Our dog loved her and enjoyed her stay. She’s like on vacation. She likes playing along with other dogs. We will definitely book her again.”
“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!”
“If we could rate more than 5 stars we would!! Corinne and Louis took such great care of our Barry boy! They were super great at communicating and keeping us updated with pictures of Barry throughout his stay. They kept Barry active with playing fetch and going on plenty of walks! We definitely will be booking again in the future! Thank you so much Corinne and Louis!”
“Mac had an amazing time with a lot of playtime and new Friends ! We received multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, I will definitely rebook and would totally recommend!”
“Marby treated our Schnauzer puppy like her own! He received lots of love & lots of walks. Marby sent us daily texts & photos of Rockie’s activities. My pup loved his “vacation” with Marby. I would definitely have her keep Rockie again. I’d give her 10 stars if I could and so would Rockie!”
“I've been using Laura consistently for nearly a year and they've become nearly a 2nd family/home for our dog. He gets excited when we exit the freeway and when we get outside he darts off to them and doesn't look back. Genuine love in her household. She is prompt, punctual and professional. She looks after him with experience and we definitely trust her.”
“This was Ness’s second time watching our pup Pretzel, and she was just as amazing as the first! Pretzel absolutely adores her, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in loving, reliable hands. Ness is warm, communicative, and genuinely cares; can’t recommend her enough. We’ll definitely keep coming back!”
“Jeimy was great with our older fur baby! Very easy to communicate with and felt comfortable with her watching her for the weekend. Being our first time using rover we have nothing but great things to say.l and will using Jeimy in the future!”
“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”
“They did such an incredible job caring for my dog and keeping me updated! I’ve never seen her so happy with dogsitters before, and it means the world to me 😊❤️ I really cannot recommend them enough! I will definitely be using them in the future 😊 🐕 ❤️”
“This was our first time leaving our BoBo. Amie has made his stay very comfortable and such a loving environment. Will definitely rebook in the future. She provided daily pictures and kept us updated regularly.”
“Brittany was an amazing host! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay with daily check-ins and pictures. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in her home.”
“Jillian was absolutely amazing, I received daily updates and photos of my baby dog. Prior to his boarding, Jillian provided us a tour of his suite and the layout. We also did a a consultation to make sure Maximus would feel comfortable. Everything went smoothly and Maximus absolutely adored Jillian. She took him out on outings and was always on alert taking care of him. They even had special play dates. She cooked special meals for him and made sure he felt safe at all times. I would 1000% hired Jillian to take of my baby dog.”

I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family.
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.
Very friendly. Went above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable. Sent updates to let us know how he was doing. When I came to pick him up it was clear he felt comfortable and at home with her. I would absolutely recommend her to friends and family and plan on hiring her 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!
Tyler and Patricia took very good care of my 5 year old Shiba Inu. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their care. They kept me posted about their activities and kind enough to send me pictures of my baby being completely pampered and spoiled. I highly recommend them and will definitely bring Hachi back to them very soon!
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.
My dog Crimson has been watched by Brittanie twice now! She is so kind, communicative, and always keeps me updated with pictures. I can tell my dog absolutely loves her and feels comfortable and happy staying with her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s well cared for and excited to go back!
We always board our 15lb Pomeranian with Lorraine whenever we go on extended vacations. She is always happy to stay there, which gives us complete peace of mind while we are away. They consistently send daily picture updates so we know how she's doing, and they are always flexible and accommodating with pickup and drop-off times. If you're looking for a dependable and caring sitter, we highly recommend them.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lakewood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lakewood on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 10,087 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.
