“Jessica took wonderful care of our 3 babies while we traveled abroad, including one who recently had surgery for cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. She had no issues giving our dogs pills and eye drops and sent us daily updates and pictures. Her apartment is cozy and calm and it was a great environment for our dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Rebecca took great care of my dog Maisie for me and pulled through at the last minute when another sitter fell through - much appreciated! She sent picture updates and made me feel totally safe.”
“Tito had an excellent week. Corrine was very responsive and sent pictures daily! So glad she was able to accommodate us for our week long trip. Would most definitely use Corrine again and again in the future. Thank you!”
“Mark was fantastic! Leia had a great time and was well taken care of. We got a lot of videos and picture updates! Easy to contact, quick to respond, in a safe neighborhood. We will definitely have him watch Leia again!”
“Hedra did a wonderful job watching our dog, Cocoa, while we were away. He was reliable, communicated consistently, and clearly took great care of her. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend him and would use him again without hesitation.”
“Sarah was amazing. First time I was away from my dog and she made the entire process stress free. She came out and hugged the dig and took her right in to meet her family and dogs. She sent me lots of pics and had her ready when i picked up after my trip. You can tell Cinnamon felt at home and at ease. Will use her again and again!”
“Carol watched our Hansel for 3 days/2 nights. We were impressed from our initial meet & greet at Carol's neat, organized home. Her demeanor and experience indicated that she would provide excellent care for our pet. We received daily updates including photos that all was well, and Hansel was being his usual sweet self. At pick-up we found our boy happy, and ready to go home - we are confident he had an excellent experience with Carol. We are happy to have Carol as a resource for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Jennifer was fantastic. Very flexible with drop off and pickup timing and shared lots of pictures over the course of Goose’s visit. Would definitely leave my dog with her again the next time I’m in town!”
“Karen is fantastic! She is personable, attentive, flexible, and so welcoming! My dog had a very engaging and active 5 day stay with Karen and her two pups and other guests! Bo came home exhausted from all the fun he had! I knew Karen’s place would be the perfect vacation home for Bo on my first visit when she took detailed notes about his behavior and his care. I was so pleased with the thorough and friendly updates with pictures of Bo each day! We will certainly be using Karen again!”
“What a guy!! Great communication, super sweet, and you can tell how much he loves pups :) our dogs are a little quirky and he took them with stride and they loved their stay. Great yard, perfect window spot, and the nicest guy :) will definitely be rebooking next time we need!”
“Jillian was amazing with our 2 dogs. She watched them for us while we got married and they were so happy and slept like babies after! It was a first time overnight rover for one of the dogs and she did very well. Jillian had a decent sized yard for two big dogs and sent pictures regularly. Definitely recommend her!”
“Sweet, caring, and trustworthy people. They took amazing care of my cat while I was away. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will be booking with them again in the future.”
“Nancy and Tim were amazing with our pup. This was no easy task either. She’s very attached to us so we aren’t sure if she was emotional or maybe had a stomach bug for a few days but they dealt with it like champs. Getting up at 3am was probably not what they anticipated when they agreed to watch her. We are forever grateful that they took such good care of our baby.”
“Vincent took great care of our German shepherd Trooper this weekend. He kept us updated throughout Trooper’s time with him which was great. Trooper liked Vincent immediately, and he sometimes takes a few minutes to warm up to new people. Trooper is sad now that he’s home with his parents (lol) so we know he had a great time. He can’t wait to visit his new friend again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Jessica was great! She took great care of my big guy (95 LB Mastiff/Hound mix) Frankie, taking him on several walks a day as well as making sure he got his daily medication. I received updates everyday that included pictures and videos. Frankie did have some separation anxiety but Jess made sure to spend lots of time with him to make him feel comfortable. Couldn't recommend her more!
Jess is the best and takes care of my dog the way I would. I know he is in great hands when staying with her and I feel completely at ease. This last time she even administered his eye drops without any issues and I’m beyond grateful for her 💗 Chexy can’t wait to see you again!! Thank you 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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 1,416 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 NJ 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.
