Marisol and her husband, Rob, are fantastic! They just watched our pup, Onyx, for a week while we took a cruise. Onyx is always thrilled to visit their pup Milo and literally drags me to the front door when we arrive. I cannot say enough good things about Marisol. She is the best!

Loved Dana from the start! She watched our 1 year old English bulldog for 2 weeks for us and so glad we went through her. She dealt with numerous date changes (thank you military) and was still very gracious. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you again for watching our crazy pup for us!

After panicking because another sitter wasn’t able to watch our dog in the middle of our vacation, Haley took over and did amazing. Jax came back never wanting to come home with us, he had so much fun. Haley was very reassuring, kind and made sure we were always kept updated. Book with her! She’s so sweet!

Keri was outstanding! From the initial communication to the pickup at the end. She sent pictures almost daily of my two pets as well as regular updates on their status and well-being. Keri truly provided them with a second home while we were out of town. Highly recommended!

I was able to board my dog Tex at Leslie’s on short notice and it turned out to be a great fit. Her dog Bruce is very well trained and got along great with my dog, who’s more interested in human friends than other dogs. She was able to administer his medication with no issues and kept the pups happy and active. She’s reliable, communicative, and took great care of Tex. I will definitely board my dog with her again! :)

Nikkole was a wonderful sitter to my 2 mini dachshunds. She has a large fenced yard where they loved to play when they were outdoors and a comfy couch where my girls loved to lounge with her. Nikkole is easy to talk to and she sent daily photos and updates and was quick to respond to questions. I’m very grateful to be able to trust her with my little ones and will definitely use her again when the time comes. Thanks Nikkole!

Roger and his family were so loving and caring of Ivy. She is shy ar first, but Roger and everyone made her so comfortable. I got pictures and updates 2 or 3 times a day. This calmed my nervousness from leaving her for her first time with complete strangers. I truly appreciate Roger and his beautiful family so very very much. Will most definitely be leaving Ivy with them again. Also play dates for Ivy and them.

I felt very at ease leaving my dog Agnes with Shannon. She has a lot of experience with dogs and Agnes liked her immediately. Her two dogs are very sweet and were great playmates to Agnes. She also gave me frequent updates on my pup, which I really appreciated because this was the first time I've been away from my puppy for that length of time. My dog is very energetic and she was able to handle her well. I would definitely ask her to sit for me again!

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!!

Dee Anne is so sweet and fun and Max loves her so much which we really appreciate! She's thoughtful about how to engage him physically and mentally because he has a lot of energy while also giving him lots of cuddle time too. Staying with her is a little vacation for our pup and he comes home tired yet fulfilled from their weekend together.

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!

Oly-dog had a great time during his week-long stay. Xavier helped put me at ease through clear communication, responsiveness, and follow-through with Oly's care plan. I'm myself a sitter with about 1,000 bookings through Rover, so I know a good-one from a lackluster-one; Xavier makes the cut. Oly would stay again.

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!!

Trina is awesome! She takes such great care of Max, helps him have lots of play time with her pups who he loves, and is very communicative with me on what he's up to which I really appreciate. She has helped when Max needs daily eye drops and gives him his daily dental treat which is so helpful so he can have consistency. Max has an amazing time and is always so excited to have sleepovers with Trina, Bruiser, and Peaches.

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 August 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 3,808 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.
