“My dog Butters had a great time at Margaret's! She did a great job communicating with me daily and sending so many fun pictures and videos. He even got to go on a hike, which he really enjoys.”
“I felt like my dog Ziggy was in great hands with Kaitlyn! She sent lots of photos, videos, and updates and it was such a relief to get those consistently.”
“Shakti and Andrew were awesome with our Aussie boys!!! They are so nice and truly care. We got lots of great photos/updates and the boys got lots of exercise and love when they were there. Thank you both!!”
“Ruby has the best time when she stays with Cody, Nicole, and Sage! They truly treat her like her own. I was so happy to see her having such a great time and appreciated all the video and pic updates!”
“Meera and Tofu loved their vacation with Amber and Chris. Tofu, who struggles with anxiety and meeting new people, felt right at home and got so much love that he didn’t even need his anxiety meds. Thank you so much Chris and Amber for loving our pups.”
“How do I even begin to describe how thankful I am to have found these two?! Out of this world dog sitters. I have a very active border collie who is not the easiest to manage. They tired him out and loved him like he was their own. They’re also terrific about asking about his likes and needs, and updating often with photos showing how happy he was. Could not recommend them more.”
“Jamie is awesome! She was so friendly and easy to coordinate with for the meet & greet, drop off, and pick up. My two big dogs got home and slept the rest of the night- clearly Jamie did a great job wearing them out! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!”
“Paul is a great communicator! He was able to take in my dog for a last minute meet and greet and booking. I’m very appreciative of his time and the fun yard they have. Gideon loved it!”
“Jennifer took really good care of my Ozzie...a little Yorkie that she says he acts like a great Dane! She sent some really funny comments with excellent pictures of him during his stay... I highly recommend her for any size dog. She is a pleasant person to work with and your dog will be in good hands!!!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We did a trial overnight stay before a longer booking we have coming up, and it couldn't have gone better. After losing our longtime dog sitter, we were looking for someone new we could trust, and we found exactly that. Kristen was fantastic - kind, personable, and clearly great with dogs. Even during a quick overnight stay, we received several check-ins, videos, and updates that showed how much fun our pup was having. The communication and care gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend her and are excited for our upcoming longer stay!”
“I felt comfortable in her home and with her other dog when I took a tour! She was quick with all communications and sending pictures. Was flexible with scheduling, if needed. Will rebook with my next trip.”
“Ruffles and Momo had a blast with Sam and Stella for the weekend! Sam was fantastic and you can clearly tell she has lots of love for animals. She made sure to understand our dogs’ needs and kept us updated throughout the sit with lots of pictures. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch our boys again.”
“My girls seemed so loved. Lots of good updates and photos. I would 100% recommend Tabea for all furry friends. The girls had a great time and will definitely be repeat clients!”
“Betty had the best time staying with Hannah, and I got to follow along through all the photos she sent! I feel lucky to have found her, and confident leaving Betty with her in the future.”
“Huong/Kani is the BEST! Where do I start? I messed up on the date of our reservation and Kani was flexible enough to modify our start date spur of the moment. That helped us out a ton. Kani was so sweet to our cat and dog (taking our dog for longer and more frequent walks than we ever can). They loved them. Kani was very professional and truly went above and beyond, providing frequent updates and photos. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend! <3”

I was looking to book without much notice and was lucky enough to land Shakti, who was also willing to squeeze in a meet-and-greet beforehand, which immediately eased my stress. Communication was great and they sent daily pics of my dog, who seemed to settle in relatively well. Will absolutely book with Shakti again!
Sparky has been boarding with Katrina and Mark a few times already but this time Sparky may have had a bit more anxiety then before because he had gone to a different sitters home a couple of days before boarding with Katrina & Mark. Katrina is very responsive to Sparky’s needs and knew exactly how to calm him down with extra TLC!! I appreciate all the love and care they both give to Sparky!💕
Samantha and her husband were amazing! They were so good to my 3 senior pups. I had no stress and felt like I could actually enjoy my trip because they were in good hands. Samantha and her husband were so thoughtful and knew all the questions to ask to get to know my dogs and their particular personalities/needs. They were fully equipped to sit senior dogs - they had a ramp for the steps and yoga mats to help if my dogs had trouble on wood floors. . Samantha was very communicative and sent pictures. You could tell my dogs were so comfortable and happy and they loved the yard. Thanks so much both!
Kelly, her husband, and their dog Milo took great care of our dog Jake while we were gone for eight days. They did everything possible to make Jake feel comfortable (he is a nervous dog) and they treated him like family. I’m so thankful for their kindness and care.
Sierra is so sweet, and so is Babycakes! House is super clean and I got updated every day with how my baby girl was doing. I had some unexpected changes to my trip twice, and Sierra was incredibly understanding and flexible with me. I felt so happy Lady was with her and I will absolutely ask her to watch Lady again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
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 6,306 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.
96% 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 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.
