“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.”
“She was so great! Super flexible, amazing with the dogs. They didn’t want to leave. We got stuck in a snowstorm and had to stay another night, she rearranged plans just to stay with them and took them the extra night. We’ll be back!”
“This is our second time using Paul to watch our babies, and it was the same as last time. Wonderful! The dogs did great, and we go daily updates. We will definitely be using him the next time we leave town!”
“Anthony was a great pet sitter for my senior male dog, Otis. I got updates all weekend long and Otis came home so wiped out from all the playtime with Anthony’s 3 pups. I was able to fully relax while out of town and Anthony was so flexible to work with. Would highly recommend him and his puppy family for others seeking a reliable and fun pet sitter!”
“Chris, Amber & the kids took amazing care of Moose! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. He had plenty of backyard space to play, got long walks, lots of attention, and we received daily photos and great communication. Definitely recommend!”
“5 Star service from start to finish. What a great job! Fantastic care and great communication. You will find no better Pet sitter! Thanks a ton for all you did for us, I m very grateful.”
“Cody and Nicole are the best. They are wonderful with our pup. He comes home happy and tired! Thank you Nicole for being so flexible and accommodating. We appreciate your help!!!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She took such great care of my dog while I was out of town - she kept me updated with messages and photos. My dog absolutely adored her! She gave him tons of love and snuggles and treated him like her own. He was so happy with her that he didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick him up! I’d 100% book with Kaitlyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Murphy loved hanging with Shawna for the weekend! She was communicative, flexible, and generally a great human. We’d loved to use her services again in the future :)”
“Hannah was great! She was really easy to communicate with, flexible with early and late drop off/pick up, sent pictures, and kept me updated about my dog. Will definitely book again!”
“Jessica and her family did a great job! We contacted them last minute because we were going out of town for a wedding. With all the planning we forgot to get a sitter and Jessica stepped in and helped us out. Our baby came home safe and worn out. I think she slept for 2 days after playing for a full weekend with Jessica’s pups. If we weren’t moving out of Colorado in a couple weeks she would be our new sitter. Thanks again!”
“Snacks had such a great time!! Olivia, Ryan, and Archie are pros, they are a gem in the Denver area!!! You’ll get regular updates and the best care and attention. 💛”
“Daphne is so wonderful and caring with our senior dog Riley! She even made him rice and pumpkin when his stomach wasn’t feeling great. He always loves getting to spend time with her!”
“Tabea took such great care of my dog while I was out of town and sent me daily updates and pictures. He settled right in like he was part of the family and came home happy and tired! I’ll definitely be bringing him back for more stays!”
“Jessica was amazing with my dog Luna! She sent me pictures every day and treated Luna like her own dog. Luna had a blast with her two pups and came home very tired and happy! Will definitely be using Jessica again :)”
“Incredible experience!!! Kim and her family were so kind, communicative and have an incredible home for watching dogs. I could tell my pup had the best time and was extremely well cared for. Would absolutely love to use them again in the future!!”
“Zory and Kent took such great care of April! Their backyard is setup so well for playing and sniffing and she got out for lots of walks too. It felt like a little summer camp visit for my dog when she couldn’t come with us on vacation, hope we’ll be able to book with them again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
They were both so lovely to work with and super easy to schedule with! Their two dogs are so sweet, I almost felt bad picking up my pup she had such a good time 😄 I love when I can go on vacation & my dog also has a mini vacation, and that was absolutely this! Cannot say enough good things, thank you guys!
Chad was absolutely amazing with my babygirl Pluto! I needed a last minute sitter as mine had fallen through and Chad got back to me promptly and alleviated so much stress with his flexibility and wonderful care. He was conscientious of Pluto's anxious senior dog quirks, sent adorable pictures, and at the end of her stay, I got to pick up a very happy dog. Looking forward to using his services again in the future!
Stephanie is a truly excellent pet sitter! She looks after our senior Labrador, Juno, like she is her own, and clearly cares very much for her wellbeing. Stephanie always sends regular updates to let me know how Juno is doing, which I really appreciate, and I know Juno is getting lots of love and attention. I highly recommend Stephanie and have no hesitation in booking her again!
Erin took great care of my Finn! Loved getting the pics and she was quick to communicate. He was in great spirits as I took him home and seemed happy with her. Always a good sign! Would definitely recommend her and will use her again for future needs. Thanks Erin!
Destiny was everything we needed for our pups! Due to a recent medical emergency, she transported them for us in short notice, sent photos and videos, and my dogs came back happy after running and playing with her friendly big dog, Emma Lou! We would definitely return to Destiny's and recommend her to other pups and families!
Cheryl was amazing! Our sweet girls were very well cared for and we got daily photos and updates. They ate well, settled right in her home, and did not have any issues at all. We didn't want to kennel them and this was our 1st Rover experience and stay with Cheryl. We would absolutely recommend and ask her to care for them again without any worries! Thank you for taking care of our pups as if they were your own!!

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 6,349 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.
