“Very friendly and I know that my dog and cat had a lot of fun when they were with her. Evidence is my dog slept 8hrs when he got back home with us🤣. Very accomodating and I highly recommend her. Beautiful place, dogs and cat can play together, big enough space for them to run and explore. I would definitely pick her to take care of my pets again.🤩🫡”

“Bianca is such a caring, thoughtful, and patient person. It was our first time being apart from our little guy in very long time but Bianca was understanding and had a great energy that helped us feel assured he’d be in good hands. Within an hour she’d sent us updates and we could already see Mylo felt right at home alongside her, her daughter, and her dog Kasha – who is also very gentle, loving, and got along well with our pup. Throughout the sit Bianca kept in touch with us regularly so we always felt at ease and could enjoy our trip, which meant a lot. We returned to find our little buddy being his typical jolly self and could tell he also got to enjoy a little adventure of his own! It was our first time using Rover or trusting someone new with our sweet boy but we’re so grateful we found Bianca! We’d definitely use her in the future and 100% recommend her to anyone in need of someone kind and attentive to look after their fur babies!”

“Crystal is fantastic! I am so happy with how well my pups did with her and the great care she provided. She shared updates and pictures and is highly responsive. I appreciate her empathy and quality of connection. I look forward to working with her again!”

“Kelly and her family took great care of our 8 year old Golden. She was made part of the family, which was lovely. We were late coming back from our vacation and she wasn’t phased by it. Very nice!”

“Katrina and her girls were awesome! This was our first time leaving for a vacation since we adopted our dog so of course we were a little nervous. Katrina and her family immediately put us at ease. Our pound pup was nervous upon arrival but Katrina met us at the door with treats and knew just what to do to chill our dog out. She has a beautiful property with lots of room for our dog to run and sniff. While we were gone Katrina kept us updated with how our pup was doing and sent us plenty of pictures. If I could give more stars I would! We plan on trusting our Izzy with Katrina and her family from here on out.”

About: My mother use to work in a kennel, she taught me everything I know about animals. I've taken care of lots of dogs and cats. I use to take care of my neighbors dogs for years until I moved, we had our family dog for a very long time sadly he passed away a year ago to old age. I'm a new mother of currently a 1 year old and having trouble finding work. I figure walking dogs and/or cats can still give me lots of time to spend with my daughter and make some money. I'm available almost always. I live in a safe and friendly neighborhood. Some of our neighbors have dogs that are friendly. Plenty of grass area and we do lots of walking around the block.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 18+ years, with years of trusted experience from neighbors, friends, and family who rely on me for high-quality care. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and the level of care I provide. I take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs—whether that’s maintaining structure, supporting anxious pets, or giving extra patience and attention. I’m calm, dependable, and highly attentive, ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and professionalism. You can expect clear communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable, trustworthy hands. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to take breaks with my 4-legged companions. I have 2 dogs (Riley and Bingo). They're friendly muts who love company. We have a one acre fenced-in backyard with lots of room to roam and explore. I always supervise the dogs to make sure they take breaks from playing to rest and drink water.

About: Reliable Freindly Pet Care, custom to fit your pets needs. I am a mature, responsible, compassionate care taker who has a lifetime of caring for animals. I am available to care for your pets needs, for boarding or in home pet sitting. Accommodations made for senior pets and their medication management. Some pets like the comfort of there own home in familiar surroundings to reduce the stress of boarding. However when that is not possible my home is open to domestic cat's and dogs.

My focus is on building trust, creating a stress-free environment, and giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care on a part-time basis, mainly during weekends and weekday evenings. This schedule allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet. Whether it’s evening walks, playtime, or weekend companionship, I make sure pets feel cared for, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet. In my home or yours, I ensure spaces are secure, comfortable, and pet-friendly. I supervise playtime, provide fresh water and proper nutrition, and follow any special instructions for each pet’s needs. My goal is to create a loving, stress-free environment where pets feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times.
“Alexys and Kevin were great with my dog. He came home happy and clearly cared for. Folks should know that the boarding dogs are kept in a separate building from the main house but are accompanied all day and watched by camera at night. That worked fine for my dog who can be ambivalent about being near people at all times. We’re planning to board with Alexys again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lake City on Rover is $39.96 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 65 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lake City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lake City home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lake City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lake City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
