“Samantha was exceptionally kind and generous towards my little dogs. She made sure that they received their medication‘s, were showered with love, affection, and care, even sharing a bed with them. I’m exceptionally grateful for how she was able to give them their medications every day, and my dogs looked genuinely happy to be there. She was incredibly thoughtful and punctual with communication, and went the extra mile by staging photo shoots with my dogs every day.I’m grateful to Samantha and would gladly rebook her anytime.”
“Rachel boarded our dog for 2 nights. We did a meet and greet ahead of time and our pup was excited to return for her stay. We received pictures during her stay and she seemed to be having a great time. Will use Rachel’s services again in the future!”
“Peter was GREAT!! I had a last minute trip out of town and Peter and his pup welcomed my dog Brody like one of their own! I received updates throughout my trip and I could see Brody was enjoying his stay. Upon picking him up it was evident he was well taken care of and he left tails wagging!! I know in the future if I ever need someone to sit Brody I will be reaching out to Peter first! Overall fantastic experience, thanks Peter and Winston :)”
“Aspen was an amazing pet sitter. She sent many pictures and updates on how my dog was doing and adapting to the stay. I had no worries leaving Jazzy with her. I will definitely have her watch my dogs in the future. I could not ask for a better dog sitter.”
“Kyra is perfect for our dog Dakota “Koti”. Koti has stayed with her twice and loves her. I think the feeling is mutual! We never want to use anybody else.”

“Kyle was great with my energetic young Labrador Retriever. I loved the regular photos and check-ins. He gave her lots of good attention and spent a lot of time outdoors with her.

We would definitely use her again next time we need them boarded.”

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!
Thomas was absolutely amazing! He gave fantastic updates and sent lots of photos of our sweet pup while we were away. He obviously cares, and has great attention to detail. Our dog came back happy and well adjusted. We will definitely be using him again in the future!
We can't thank you enough for taking such wonderful care of our Rocket and making sure he was comfortable and felt at home. You willingly took him on at the last minute, after another sitter cancelled last minute and it was the best thing that could have ever happened. We appreciated the updates and pictures, it really gave us piece of mind and meant so much to us. Thank you again, and Rocket says woof-woof! 🐶
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!
Rachel is such an amazing sitter! She was so careful and loving with Java. My doggo had an upset stomach for a couple of days and would not eat (as is sometimes the case when staying in new places) and Rachel did her very best to ensure that Java would still not go hungry, coaxing her with broth and her favorite veggie snacks with my consent until she was hungry enough to eat her kibble. I was so touched by that moment, and could tell that Java was definitely in good hands. Rachel is incredible at communicating updates, questions, and needs/boundaries. I never felt confused or left in the dark. Additionally, I really appreciated the care that she took to ensure Java had a fun time with games and walks/adventures! Rachel's personality is as inviting as her lovely home, she is such a nice person! Reasonably priced stay for top-notch care! Will definitely book again.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Lakewood on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 776 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.
