“Brianna was wonderful with my Boston Terrier. I had a business trip last minute and family could not watch my man. I was nervous about leaving him with someone I had only just met. However, worries quickly went away as I got my first batch of pictures, showing him right at home and snuggling. I was gone for (5) days, and my dog loved his stay. I would definitely use Bri again.”
“Mike was a fantastic sitter. He made sure to send updates every morning and night, with pictures. He has a great little family and they are super accommodating. My flight got cancelled due to a huge storm and ended up landing at 4am the next day. He allowed Moose to stay an extra night with no problems whatsoever and really made me feel comfortable about where my dog was while I was dealing with a super long night of travel. I would absolutely recommend”
“Would leave 20 stars if I could! We received lots of updates and were able to have a great vacation knowing Nova was being very well taken care of! Will definitely have Nova stay with Kaitlyn 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!”
“Hannah was so great with our Fiona - she was great with updates and even offered to talk Fiona on a little hike one of the days we were gone. Hannah was a great communicator and despite some travel delays, was flexible with the drop off & pickup times on either side of the trip. We’ll certainly book with Hannah again in the future!”
“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.”
“Ralph and Kristen were great sitters! They constantly gave us updates with pictures and videos of Nala and Goku. I could tell they felt right at home with them and their 2 pups. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Jasper had so much fun staying at Victoria and Breezy’s :). I loved how she sent pictures and videos of him and I could tell he was having a great time. I could relax on my trip knowing he was well taken care of. He’s looking forward to his next vacation already!”
“Our puppy Pickle had a great stay with Genevieve! She was super communicative with us, sent pictures, and even had a full set of puppy equipment there so we didn’t have to bring a crate or her bowls. Looking forward to using her again!”
“Our beagle Betty had the most amazing weekend in Chris and Amber’s yard! Pretty sure she didn’t miss us at all, she was having such a great time. :) They are a lovely family and I appreciated the awesome pictures they sent during the stay. Would definitely book again.”
“Kelli and Larkin took great care of my dog , which was clear in all the sweet photos and updates they sent during my trip. I’ll definitely have Fig stay with them again!”
“Amanda and her family were amazing with Nugget. He had such a good time, we were afraid he might not want to come back home! Amanda was easy to communicate with she provided many photos with her daily updates. 10/10 would do it again!”
“Janet made her home home away from home for our dogs! We have an older dog and a high energy dog! They had a blast in her yard and snuggling up to Janet! Will definitely be booking again when we are out of town’”
“By far the best sitter I've had on Rover! Kaylee and her partner were so wonderful with my dog. The updates and pictures while we were on vacation kept our minds at ease and ensured that he was being taken care of! We will definitely be using her going forward for any sitting needs - highly recommend!”
“Chloe and her lil fam were so wonderful to Teddy and he had the best time with them! Her pup was very patient and sweet with my baby boy, who isn’t always used to having other dogs around. He got plenty of exercise running around the yard and on walks. Teddy had the time of his life! Chloe even gifted us some freshly picked flowers when we picked him up which was so sweet!”
“Erin does a great job with our active cat. She gives him the love and care he needs while we are away and sends us continuous updates and pictures on how he is doing. She is our go-to cat sitter for all trips!”
“Sarah and Joe were absolutely fantastic with my dog Addie for a long weekend stay. Addie is an older girl with her own set of unique quirks and Sarah and Joe were kind, patient, and incredibly loving! They treated her like their own and she lived like a queen for the weekend. They sent continuous updates and photos and truly spoiled her while ensuring she was perfectly safe and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found them and will absolutely rebook!”
“Kristy and Nathan were awesome dog parents to our Miya! I can tell by the communication and how Miya was when we picked her up that she really enjoyed her time there. I really appreciate how she was welcomed as part of the family - she was so happy there! Highly recommend Kristy and Nathan!!!!”
“5stars all the way! Faith was such a nice person from the start, very accommodating and communicative. She did a great job sitting our Pointer Hank. Faith went above and beyond to ensure Hank was comfortable and safe at all times. Highly recommended.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Katrina and her husband were wonderful sitters! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of our pup, which made us very happy! The fact they had a backyard for our dog to lay in was a huge plus! We are excited to have found such great sitters in the Lakewood area!
Erin was a great pet sitter for our crazy Yorkie, Leo! We are not local and were only in the area for our wedding. Erin did a fantastic job of easing our minds so we could enjoy the big day! She was very communicative and sent frequent updates and photos. I know Leo must’ve been a little bit of a handful, however Erin did not make us feel that way. Very warm and kind, and Leo was perfectly happy when we picked him up! Thank you for making our first Rover experience a positive one, Erin!
YUEHUA is such a spectacular dogsitter! I unfortunately lost someone very close to me, so we had to schedule boarding for a few days. YUEHUA not only accepted our request, but she was so caring, kind, and compassionate as well. She welcomed our dog with such warmth, and she took tremendous care of our dog throughout the time. YUEHUA also updates frequently and is an incredibly communicator, so you always know what it going on with your dog. I cannot recommend YUEHUA enough! She is one of the best dogsitters in Lakewood!
Mike is a wonderful dog sitter! He took great care of our pups and sent lots of pics, was quick to respond and made sure all of our instructions/wishes were met. Our pups were relaxed, healthy and happy when we got back from our trip. We will definitely rebook with Mike!
Erin is a true animal lover and this was the first time we had left our dog and cat in someone’s care while we were out of town and she gave them a wonderful place to stay and be cared for while we were gone. She was very thoughtful in providing pictures and letting us know how they were doing. If we need animal sitting in the future, we are definitely going to call Erin!.
Brianna was wonderful with my Boston Terrier. I had a business trip last minute and family could not watch my man. I was nervous about leaving him with someone I had only just met. However, worries quickly went away as I got my first batch of pictures, showing him right at home and snuggling. I was gone for (5) days, and my dog loved his stay. I would definitely use Bri again.
Erica was great! We got photos and updates throughout our boys stay and they looked very happy and comfy. It made us feel so much more at ease because one of our pups is completely blind, and being in an unfamiliar place can sometimes be difficult for him to adjust. Would absolutely book again, thanks!!!
Molly took excellent care of our dog Leo. His stomach was upset and he had some accidents, which is not like him, from a change in his food prior to her watching him and she was so nice and patient about the situation. She sent pictures and updates. He seemed happy and very well taken care of when we picked him up. Would recommend her to anyone looking for care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lakewood is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 6,291 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Lakewood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lakewood home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
