From the moment we booked with Noelle we felt confident that our boy would be in very good care. Noelle exceeded all our expections, she is beyond amazing!!! We would get daily updates and photos. Jack got daily walks and play time with her sweet dogs. We will definitely be using Noelle's services in the future!

The second I dropped Eddie off I felt comfortable going on my trip. You can tell Heather has a love for animals. Eddie is currently a very energetic puppy which can be a burden on some but Heather handled it was grace. When I picked up Eddie you could just tell he was one happy boy from him stay! Thank you, Heather!

What a wonderful experience having my fur baby Katie board with Diahann H. and her family. My 6 year old Maltese is a timid dog very co-dependent on me and has had little experience with other small dogs. I was so pleased that she bonded with this wonderful family and other small dogs in their care, she settled in, ate well and made herself at home with lots of pictures from Diahann to show how well she did. Highly recommend them to care for your loved ones and will be thrilled to use them again. Margie Holmes

Loc did a wonderful job caring for my chihuahua for the week. She is 1 yr 5 months old with pretty severe anxiety issues (medicated) and it was her first time being away from us so I was very nervous. Loc has excellent communication skills and shared daily photos and videos. Our dog had a great time playing with Loc's adorable puppy and enjoyed daily walks. I highly recommend Loc for your pet sitting needs - we have already rebooked him for another trip in two weeks! Thank you Loc for giving our family a sense of freedom back (the ability to travel) while taking top-notch care of our dog. You're the best!

We could not have had a better experience leaving our little Mario with Kyley! She was so quick at replying to our texts asking for updates and sent us pictures every day. Mario seemed relaxed when we got back from our 6 day trip and slept like a baby when we got home! She was super flexible with our drop off and pick up times and was understanding when our plane got delayed and we picked him up a bit later than we thought. We were nervous first-time Rover users but are so glad we found someone we can trust in the our area, we will definitely be booking again in the future!

If you need someone who will provide absolute comfort and give all the love one can to your fur baby, then she is the one to reach out to. She definitely loves what she does and for who she does it for. Thank you so much!

About: Ive been a dog owner majority of my life since i was 11 years old. As i Grew up with my dog almost like a sibling and treating her like my child. I went to dog training school which I took on a leadership roll for other dogs and helping other owners with their dog. So i have a little bit of training experience and practices if that is needed in building a repetition or simply l learning upon training your dog. I’ve considered becoming a veterinarian down the road because of how motherly i love and cared for my dog, taking care of her made me wanna help take care and help others. So i think being so passionate in giving care to fur babies and those in need or a second hand with their pet brings and makes more light all around. I have open availability! I am more than happy to make time as well. I would prefer a consistent schedule but for right now taking anything.:) I am very attentive so I am and will always check if your dog needs food, whatever needs i see and read off from the dog or any pet i evaluate what it is so that they are comfortable and satisfied. The last thing I want is your pet feeling out of place and uncomfortable. I also make sure everything is secured so making sure that safety wise the environment is okay nothing falling, doors closed or locked for the animals. Ill do a scan around so i can avoid possible situations that can go left object wise, i can correct actions in avoiding before happening.

Angela cares about your dog and it shows in her enthusiasm and willingness to be flexible. She provided a daily note and, at my request, some photos. She lives in an area with a big park nearby which is helpful for dogs that enjoy and need daily walks.

We left our 4-month-old puppy with Kana and Brian for a long day (12 hours), and they were amazing. They handled her so well and did such a great job making her feel safe and cared for. It was our first time leaving her with someone and also our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The communication is great, and they have a good yard for dogs, as well as a nice area inside for them. I'd definitely recommend Kana and will be using her again.

I highly recommend Melody! She was responsive, flexible with my last-minute plans, and incredibly loving and attentive with my dogs. As a first-time boarder, I really appreciated her regular updates and secure home and yard, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Melody truly helped soothe both my anxiety and my dogs’, and they ended up having a little mini vacation of their own! I would absolutely trust her with my babies again. She provides top-notch care, and her extra flexibility is definitely worth showing appreciation for with a tip! ❤️🐾

Ethan was absolutely amazing!! We brought our 13-year old dog and 7 month old puppy, and both were very clearly happy and cared for! It was our first time boarding them, and we were really nervous about it but Ethan sent us plenty of picture and video notifications that set us at ease. Honestly if we could give him 100 stars we would!!

Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, and I really appreciated that she required a meet-and-greet beforehand with her own dogs. It showed me that she genuinely cares about the well-being and safety of every dog in her care—not just filling bookings. She came up with a thoughtful plan to make sure my dog would be comfortable and safe with the other dogs, which gave me so much confidence leaving him with her. Throughout his stay, Jennifer was friendly, communicative, and sent lots of pictures and updates that really put my mind at ease. I could tell my dog was in great hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jennifer again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy dog sitter!

This was our first time using Rover and Aliesha and we’re really glad we did. She took great care of our two boys. We knew after our meet and greet that her and her sweet dog Otto would be perfect for our pups. They seemed to fit right in and got along perfectly. Our boys came home happy healthy and exhausted from all the play time! Will definitely use again!!

FAQs for Boarding - Lakewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 3,800 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lakewood. About 91% 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 WA 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.
