“Victoria was great! I wasn’t sure how my 3-legged cat would handle a different place that while I was moving into a new home, but she did an awesome job of making him feel at home for the day! I would definitely let her watch Charles again. Thank you Victoria, much appreciated! 🙏❤️”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!”
“Jamie took excellent care of our dog Scout. We always feel comfortable leaving him in her care when we go on vacation. She is wonderful and we highly recommend her!”
“Our two puppos spent four days with Cody and Nicole and they were such amazing dog-people. Our dogs had a great time in their back yard and even got to go for a couple rides in the car! Cody and Nicole had great communication and clearly a passion for dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to let them stay here again!”
“Shakti was great communicating throughout the entire booking process and throughout our pups stay at her house. Shakti provided pictures of her interacting and hanging with the dogs, allowing the dogs to get used to her. The pups seemed happy and well adjusted. She followed our pet instructions and was accommodating to our schedules. I’d recommend Shakti for anyone else wanting a zen puppy experience!”
“Erin is a real dog lover, and our dogs loved her. She was flexible and compassionate. Highest commendations and will definitely ask her for assistance again.”
“Kani was very nice and reassuring, sent me daily updates with many great photos of my Roxy. She clearly had a really good time and was happy and content. Definitely trust Kani with Roxy again!”
“Erin was amazing! She has the two sweetest black labs that kept Riley company for her sleepover and a beautiful backyard for them to run around in. Aaron was super accommodating and Riley had the best time. I would highly recommend!”
“Sam was great! Excellent communicator and sent lots of updates with pictures of our dogs having a great time with her pug, Stella. Definitely would re book”
“Nick and his wife are the best! They are super reliable and take amazing care of both of my dogs. When my dogs are in their care I never worry or stress because I know they are having an amazing time at Nick’s! As soon as we pull onto his street they both get excited to see Nick and play with the other dogs at his home. Nick is always quick to reply with any questions I may have and is super flexible. I would highly recommend!”
“Jessica watched our dogs last minute and provided daily updates. They got daily expertise and Jessica even washed their beds and blankets we brought! Highly recommend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Cassandra was fantastic with our Velcro dog, Poppy! She was so flexible - from doing an initial meet & greet, to being understanding when my travel got delayed. Easy to communicate with, sent us updates and we trusted her instantly. Definitely will book again, highly recommend!
Stephanie was awesome. As someone who's had issues finding a dog sitter who I can leave my girl wit, she checks all the boxes! She has a great dog lover personality and you can tell she's well-versed in caring for animals. I was able to enjoy my time off knowing that my dog was in good hands. She is easy to reach out to during your dogs visit and kept me updated on my dog's stay regularly. It made me feel like my girl was being well-taken care of the whole time 🫶
Chad was awesome! He's very quick to respond as well as flexible and accomadating to my last minute booking. He kept me updated everyday with photos and comments on how she was doing. I felt very confident my dog was happy and very well card for. I will definitely be rebooking with Chad!
Katie took amazing care of my 2 Bernadoodles. She took them on hike in a new location everyday! I could tell from the daily pics she sent that my dogs were feeling at home snuggling with her. She spent a generous amount of time at the meet and greet to make sure she knew everything she needed to know to provide them the best care. She even reorganized some of her belongings so my anxious pup wouldn’t chew on things. Her house is clean and calm with a beautiful yard on a quiet street. She will take great care of your pets!
I can't thank Sierra enough! We had a longer stay originally planned, but I ran into an issue and had to modify the booking. She didn't hesitate at all to accommodate the change and was so understanding. Throughout the time she watched my dogs, she kept me updated with constant photos and reports. It was my first time using her service, and I know without a doubt that if I ever need someone to watch my dogs again, I'll be calling her. Highly recommended!
Cleo and family are so grateful for Cheryl! Cleo always comes home happy and relaxed. I know already misses Cheryl's backyard oasis where she can lounge, listen to the water feature and enjoy plenty of shade - but what's a good vacation if you aren't a little bummed to leave!? She is already looking forward to her next stay with Cheryl and Kaya!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lakewood on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,281 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.
