“We can’t recommend Ximena enough! She has been absolutely wonderful with our 1-year-old Maltipoo, Daisy. Honestly, sometimes we feel like Daisy prefers Ximena’s home over ours — that’s how happy and comfortable she is there! Ximena and her family treat Daisy like one of their own. Whether it's going on walks, playing, or even including her in family picnics, Daisy is always part of the action and clearly loved. What really sets Ximena apart is the regular updates she sends — pictures and videos that show Daisy having fun and being well cared for. She also is very attentive if there are concerns from us that we would like monitoring like her food intake or energy levels. It gives us such peace of mind, especially since Daisy has some abandonment issues from prior to our adoption. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust completely. Ximena is a true gem!”
“First time using this app and leaving Moose overnight elsewhere with a sitter. Maritza, huge thank you for making sure myself and Moose had a great experience by keeping him safe and happy and keeping me updated and sharing pictures of Moose throughout the day. It was evident Moose had fun hanging out with all of the other pups. The yard is spacious and filled with fun for my 50lb pup. And lastly thank you for replying to my request promptly!!”
“This was my first time ever using Rover to find a pet sitter and we think we found the pit of gold at the end of the rainbow. Angela was absolutely amazing! My son was extremely worried about leaving his dog with anyone but family for the very first time. But the updates and photos we received put his mind at ease that Pluto was having a great time on his own mini vacation. Thanks to this, we were able to better enjoy our own vacation. I cannot say enough positive things about our first time with Angela and Rover.”
“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!”
“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.”
“This was the second time our pups stayed with Lianna and are so glad they did! It’s always so hard to leave our babies but knowing they are in good hands makes it a little easier. Lianna sent multiple daily updates and photos and she was always SO responsive. We could tell that both our pups were well loved, cared for, and entertained during their stay. In the future, we’d absolutely book with Lianna!! ❤️”
About: I grew up with dogs, and so did my wife, so caring for them has always been a part of our lives. We recently said goodbye to our own dog after 16 wonderful years together, and we know how important it is to find someone you can trust with a beloved family member. Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. We provide a safe, comfortable, dog-friendly home where every pup is treated with patience and care. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing, playing, or going for walks, we’ll do our best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel right at home. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to give dogs consistent attention and keep them on their normal routine Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and no other pets in the home, allowing us to focus on your dog’s individual needs. Our 10-year-old daughter has grown up around dogs and is gentle and respectful with them. Because I work from home, your dog will receive close supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ll follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“I felt completely at ease leaving my dog here! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly care for the pets they host. I received regular updates and photos, which made me so comfortable while I was away. My dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind they gave me—will definitely book again!”
“I had a last minute cancellation, and Marby was able to help us on the same day, to take our puppy for a few nights of boarding. She took good care of our puppy and kept me informed on how she was doing while in her care. Thank you Marby, truly for making this experience wonderful!!”
“First time leaving our little Groot over night. Angie was great, took care of him just as if he was her own. Sent us updates so we would be at ease. Took him to the park and as he needed let him sleep with her. Thank you Angie!”
“Definitely a 5-star experience. Corinne was super responsive and answered all my questions that made me feel comfortable to book. I can definitely say this meet was meant to be. This was my first time leaving my pup, Chanel, with someone new - let alone a new place for several days. (She is super friendly, but since always with me, will cry if she sees me leave her.) As soon as we walked up to their home, Chanel was super curious and happy to go inside, greeting them both with such excitement. They both made me feel at ease. Their beautiful home was perfect for her - with a big bed, toys, and a nice and spacious back yard. I loved the several updates and pictures that were sent to me; it brought so much smiles to see Chanel being such a good girl, and being cared for like they did. I also loved the little report card they gave me at the end. I highly recommend Corinne and Louis, and will definitely book with them again if the opportunity allows. Thank you both so much!”
“Where do I begin? Dominique is Absolutely Amazing. She took care of Paris so well went above and beyond took her own walks. Gave her extra treats and extra love. She sent me pictures and videos of Paris and what she was doing throughout the days. I am greatly appreciative of finding her and the quality of care that she gave our little fur baby. I was so thankful and ungrateful for her care that we have already rebooked twice with her for future engagements. Thank you so much, Dominique. We greatly appreciate you and Paris had a ball.”
“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.”
“They were great with my dog and sent plenty of updates and pictures! My dog is usually super nervous during a stay with someone and he seemed to be really comfortable with them. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Chewie (and I) had a great experience with Mariah. Very communicative. Sent plenty of update pics to give us peace of mind that Chewie was doing fine. He even smelled better when we got him back (she gave him a bath 😃). Drop off and pickup was super easy as there was plenty of places to park. Overall a A+++++++ experience! Oh and the price was awesome too!”
“Isao and Rezairyl were amazing with Bella. They sent video and photos every day and went above and beyond for Bella's needs. Definitely booking with them again! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️”
About: We have two dogs who are so loved. They are both great socialized dogs. We also have two kiddos (9 and 11) who LOVE animals. Someone is typically always home, and the dogs get a lot of attention here because of it. Dogs are given a lot of attention in our home. We have a doggy door too so they can come in and out at their leisure. I have a fenced in yard, a doggy door, and two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. I also have two animal loving kids who smother dogs with lots of love and attention.
“Irene was great with our pups! We would love for her to sit for them in the future. She shared updates while we were on our trip. She reviewed the care document, and knew how to set up their crates and put their complicated harnesses on. Our pups are high energy breeds and but they came home relaxed and content. When we went to pick them up Bone Thug ran back to give Irene a little pup love before leaving. That was the biggest sign of care and happiness to me.”
“They are the best when it comes to communication! I always appreciate the regular updates and pictures of Buzz it’s something I really enjoy. They’re also very flexible with my schedule and always quick to respond to any questions I have. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family!”
“Karina was a life saver!! After the craziest situation while we were on vacation, Karina was able to watch our dog for two weeks super last minute. She was extremely flexible and so kind throughout the entire situation. She sent lots of pictures and helped calm our nerves after all the stress. Rigby came home happy and healthy. We’re so thankful for Karina - any dog would be lucky to stay with her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
I want to thank Leonore and her husband for taking great care of my Gordo. This was our first time doing rover and away from each other. Leonore and her husband made Gordo feel welcome and comfortable. By my surprise Gordo had fun and rested well. With the daily updates and pictures and videos. I knew Gordo was in good hands. They made him feel like part of gang. I thank them so much. We were very pleased and will have leonore and her husband help watch Gordo in future plans. 💙🐶
John, Ryan, and their whole family were the perfect find for Indy. They took us in last minute without a second thought and were so flexible and sweet to her the whole time. She was so happy and settled that she almost didn't want to leave! I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.
Bella and her mom took wonderful care of Gizmo for a full month while I was traveling in Europe, and I couldn't be happier. Gizmo stayed indoors with air conditioning during the hot weather, and had a beautiful, spacious green yard to run around and do his business in. Bella sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Gizmo felt right at home with them. I highly recommend Bella for anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter — we'll definitely be booking with her again!
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.
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.
