“We had such a great experience boarding our dog with Shannon and Robert. They made it easy from the start! You can tell that this is a family of dog-lovers, which brings so much comfort when leaving your baby behind. They updated us daily with pictures and tidbits on how the stay was going. Their home is calm, clean, and comfortable. We're so grateful for the love and care they gave our boy while we were away. We look forward to becoming a repeat customer & I will recommend Shannon and Robert to any and all friends in the future!”
“Julie and her family were excellent with my somewhat anxious dog Sammy, and made him feel at home from the beginning. She sent daily pics/videos. Highly recommend her!”
“Robert watched Mia at his house overnight for a few nights. He has a great fenced in backyard, perfect for our pup to run and stretch her legs. Mia came back happy and tired out from her running vacation ? We would definitely use Robert again!”
“Jennifer and her family were fantastic hosts for Blake. They took the time to understand his special needs and quirks and took very good care of him. Thank you!!”
“Mary took great care of Duke! She was lovely to speak with, sent adorable updates, and asked thoughtful questions about his care. Duke warmed up to her immediately and had a great time at her home. We would love for Mary to watch Duke again!”
“Rose appeared to be very calm when I picked her up. This was the first time that I had left her . I was very pleased with the communication and photos of her relaxing on the couch.”
“Sarah was great! She was very communicative on updates during Winnie's stay to make sure I knew how things were going. I was travelling abroad and Sarah made me super comfortable that she had things under control and that Winnie was enjoying her stay!”
“Olesja was great to work with and gave us peace of mind during our trip out of the country. She even recorded a little video of her singing happy birthday to our dog - it was nice to know that although his family couldn’t physically be there, he was still being loved on and celebrated! ☺️”
“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”
“Michael did a phenomenal job of keeping us updated via texts and with pictures! We felt very comfortable and confident leaving our dogs with him and are so grateful to him for his care and kindness. He took amazing care of our dogs- we went on holiday and our dogs enjoyed a vacation in his care!!! Thank you!!!!!”
“Once again, Kathy and Graham took such good care of Tommy that when he came home after his 2 week vacation with them, although happy to be home, was still looking for them! It’s such a great feeling to know and trust that another person can and will take good care of your beloved pet. We would not hesitate to leave Tommy for any length of time with Kathy”
“Aspen was amazing with Natty. She gave tons of updates and took lots of pictures. I could tell my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and loved in her care.”
“It was our first time using rover so we didn't know what to expect, but I was extremely comforted from the beginning talking with Michelle. We did a meet and greet where she invited us and Buddy into her home. Rocky is such a great host dog! She sent us pictures of buddy laying on the couch getting plenty of attention. Buddy and Michelle's husband were best pals. I wasn't worried about Buddy for one minute and knew that he was having a blast.”
“Leslie is amazing. She takes great care of our fur babies and always does a little extra that helps us know things will be fine while we are gone (water plants, bring in mail, etc).”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“Extremely grateful to Tori! I needed someone to take care of my Bailey at the last minute due to an emergency, and she was available right away. She took amazing care of my baby and sent me lots of pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Tori is awesome! I 100% recommended!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I never have to worry about my dog when she is with Kimberly. She’s great about sending pictures and videos so that I can see how my dog is doing. My dog has never looked stressed in any of the pictures at Kimberly’s, and that is unusual for my tender hearted dog! I will continue using Kimberly as long as she’s available!!”

Olesja was fantastic! She took such good care of our 8 month old puppy. We were very nervous to leave him but she was so thorough in our meet-and-greet, really paying attention to his instructions and his schedule. She then kept us totally updated and was incredibly caring and patient with him. We can’t recommend enough!
Rachel is super attentive and quite the amazing sitter. We know she cares for our dog as she would if he were her own, which is sadly hard to find. Bodhi had a great overnight with her and he’s ready to come back when we take our family vacation in a few months. Thank you again!
Shannon and Rob did an absolutely wonderful job watching Rufus! 🐾 They took such great care of him, kept us updated, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Rufus was in such good hands. We would highly recommend Shannon and Rob and will definitely trust them with Rufus again! ❤️
Hands down the best cat sitter we’ve ever hired! She provided daily photo updates and kept us informed. Our cat was happy, comfortable, and completely at ease with her. She is incredibly kind, trustworthy, and accommodating. We’ll definitely be rebooking every time we travel!
I am very nervous bringing my dog anywhere for care when I go out of town because he is so sensitive and has a lot of allergies. Carla was so flexible and accommodating with his needs and care. She sent updates without me having to ask, and stuck to his normal routine. It is rare for my pup to come home without any flare ups to his allergies because of the new environment, but he came home completely healthy and happy. I would highly recommend Carla, and will definitely be booking her again in the future!
Cynthia and her boyfriend were so wonderful!! We have two dogs, and we wanted a home without other pets. We drove an extra long distance as Cynthia seemed like a great fit, and she absolutely was!! We were so relieved that the pets looked so happy and calm when we picked them up. Cynthia’s place is so cozy and clean, and the pets truly looked like they were the ones that went on a vacation! We will be happy to request Cynthia again as our top choice rover host!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Lakewood on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 775 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lakewood. About 93% of Lakewood sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
