“Tony and Krista are fantastic sitters. They are genuine and reliable, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well cared for.”
“Our dog stayed with Dana for a few nights over the weekend and she was great. She was very friendly and accommodating. Our dog had a great time there and was definitely in good hands! We would definitely recommend Dana.”
“Jenn is my go to dogsitter anytime I travel! It’s lovely to be able to enjoy my travel knowing my dogs are safe and having a great time. My dogs love Jenn and her family, plus her playful pup!”
“Thanks Sherry for taking such great care of my pet! She was incredibly responsible throughout the day care today. She always provides timely photo and videos and takes absolutely great care of Charli and she came home so happy that I highly recommended Sherry! Definitely will book Again!”
“The BEST!!! 🐾 🐕Meredith is an absolute lifesaver! We needed emergency boarding during a stressful life transition, and she provided a safe, nurturing space for our ESA (who had sadly been mistreated in someone else's care). Our sweet dog is sometimes fearful and timid, but Meredith was patient, understanding, and helped show his true gentle nature. Highly recommend! 🐾 🏆”
“Yessica was so great with Cat Sammy, I will definitely be trusting her with my cat again in the future. She was easy to schedule with and assured me she would not take on any other pets while she watched my cat, which brought me a lot of comfort. It was harder to find a Rover with no other pets involved than I expected. A lot of sitters on Rover take on multiple pets at a time, lock them in separate rooms or crates or have pets of their own. Those circumstances create a stressful environment for both myself and my cat so I prefer a sitter that is able to provide a stable and stress free environment. She sent me daily updates and photos which is not required but was very much appreciated. Sammy was happy and purring in all of the videos and it brought me peace of mind. She even took him outside a little for fresh air which he loves— she went the extra mile. Her communication was great & timely and she easily built trust with me. She returned all of his items clean & in tact. 10/10 recommend Yessica as your Rover!”
“Noelle was wonderful. She took my pup on walks and played ball with him. I received daily updates showing with lots of pictures. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Molly and family were fantastic! I received constant updates and photos of Arrow having a good time. We have used thier service multiple times and been very happy with it!”
“Loc was such a joy to work with. Our dog loved him and and the time they spent together. We received daily communication, pictures and videos to show how our pup was doing. You can tell Loc enjoys being with all the dogs and that they all feel comfortable around him. We look forward to continue using Loc for our puppy housing needs!”
“Mariana and her daughter were excellent caretakers of our two small pups! She sent lots of pictures, was super responsive, and very clearly loves dogs (and our dogs in particular)! We will be working with Mariana a lot over the coming years and are super excited to know her!”
“Heather’s the best. She provided a clean, organized and, most importantly, caring environment for my pup while I was out of town for a few days. He got along great with her house dog and she kept me updated. I highly recommend her.”
“Duri and her husband were great with our dog! She was extremely attentive to her needs and schedule, and gave her a lot of exercise. They kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. She definitely allowed us to have a great time on vacation by putting our minds at ease that our dog was very well taken care of! Will absolutely use again if we have future need.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Priscilla was amazing to work with! She answered all our questions and made us feel good about leaving our Pup with her for the week. Priscilla sent us lots of updates and photos which was greatly appreciated! We highly recommend Priscilla!”
“Kirsten and Nathan went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt right at home while we were away. They kept us updated with great communication and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. So grateful to have found them! Highly recommend.”
“I was a little nervous leaving my dog with someone new, but Kristin was wonderful. She kept me updated with photos, which I really appreciated, and it was obvious my dog was having a great time. One of her favorite things is playing in water, so seeing all the fun she had made me so happy. She came home tired and happy, and I could tell she had been well cared for.”
“Mayo thoroughly enjoyed his stay with them! They were very great at giving updates, sending photos and were so good with our dog. I would gladly recommend them to anyone and also use their services again in the future!”
“Christen and Hugo were, in a word, FANTASTIC. They walked my two pooches at least a few times per day, took them to the dog park and when a minor incident required my Bear visit the vet, they were all over it, keeping me well informed all along. SO thankful for their diligence and caring!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
I had such a great stay! I loved running around the yard, playing with the other dogs, and getting lots of treats and attention. My humans said the communication was excellent—they received updates and knew I was having a wonderful time. I’d definitely love to come back for another stay!
Rebecca is fantastic! She is the first and only person we have left our puppy with. The first stay was around 8 months, and we have since scheduled multiple. She is very reassuring, communicative and nurturing. We get lots of updates and her family is genuinely excited for Bogey to visit. Gives me great piece of mind, he always comes back tired and happy from a stay full of stimulation and cuddles!
Meredith was fantastic with Delta and gave her all the extra attention my very anxious girl needed during her stay. She understands dog needs, incorporated a slow and safe introduction to the other dogs present, and was quick to respond to any messages. Delta made a few friends, enjoyed playing with the other pups, and was exhausted by the time she was picked up. Will absolutely be boarding with Meredith in the near future.
Cats Upstairs was a perfect place for our two cats while we were away for a week. Renate took excellent care of them, played with them daily, and sent frequent updates with photos and videos, which gave us real peace of mind. The space is clean, comfortable, and clearly designed with cats in mind. I would absolutely recommend Renate and Cats Upstairs to anyone looking for a caring, reliable cat sitter.
Dee Anne is such a sweetheart and we're so grateful for how she takes care of Max! He is so excited to spend time with her with all the quality play time and rest and adventures they have. It's a little vacation for him to stay with Dee Anne when we can't take him out of town with us and it's so meaningful to us that she's so genuinely loving, thoughtful, and kind!
Dina took care of my beloved dog Tikky from June 7/2026 to June 16/ 2026. She provided daily pictures and videos. Tikky got injured while playing in her back yard and she took her to the vet. This was the first time I hired a sitter on this website. I will use her to take care of Tikky again in the future. The fact that she and Irma have four dogs of their own tells me that they love dogs. Glad I found them!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Lakewood on Rover is $42.08 per night (as of July 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 3,834 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.
