“Marilou took such great care of my little Willow. She provided daily pictures and videos and honestly when it was time to pick Willow up, she acted as if she did not want to come home. This is a true testament of how much love and care Marilou provides to her client’s pets. I would definitely recommend her and will bring Willow back when we have to travel again!”
“Anais was amazing with my puppy, Sparkle. I could tell right away that Sparkle was well cared for and in good hands. She kept me at ease and treated her with so much love and attention. I would definitely use her again for future boarding.”
“Jacalyn was so amazing with our pet! Our dog still has a lot of puppy in him and he needed some more socializing with other people and dogs. At first he didn’t want to go with Jacalyn and she took extra time to make our dog feel more comfortable. By the time we returned, our dog was very comfortable being around Jacalyn. The Cannon Family”
“Emily is the BEST. She started as our dog sitter and has basically become family. She takes such amazing care of our boxer, Barkley, and is our absolute go-to whenever we need someone we trust. She is so sweet, caring, and loving, and always brings out the very best in Barkley. We are so thankful for her and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“I am extremely pleased with the care provided by Tavia. She constantly updated me and send a plethora and pictures and videos. I can tell my dog was in Good hands. I appreciate that she had a huge yard for Venus to run around and play in and also that her dog played well with mine. I will definitely be booking Tavia again.”
“Lily took excellent care of my foster dog Harley while I was caring for another pet. She came home happy and and with extra toys! As a pet sitter myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Thank you Lily!”
About: I have owned dogs all my life and really enjoy walking and taking care of them. I pet-sit for family members often and they never want go leave when they visit. I currently work from home. I have full availability to walk,feed and play with your pet. I have a husky at home who is great with other dogs and has all of his shots updated. I prefer dogs who have their shots updated as well. I have a fenced in back yard and space dor pups to play. Several areas for them to sleep and covered patio. They can sleep on the couch or bring their beds.
“Loleatha was absolutely wonderful with our poodle Zia! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear Zia was in great hands. Loleatha was attentive, caring, and made sure Zia felt right at home. We came back to a happy, relaxed pup, which says it all. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with Sabine and everything went smoothly! Quick communication and she gave several photo updates during the stay. Would definitely book again!”
“Mark is a truly first-class dog sitter! I entrusted him with my 16½-year-old poodle for four nights, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. Mark was wonderfully attentive to the needs of a senior dog and showed a level of patience that can be hard to find when you have an older pet. Every morning, like clockwork, he sent me a photo, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I give Mark my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.”
“Monica was amazingly professional, kind and patient with my fur babies. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I think we’ve found our new home away from home. 😊😊😊”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Quanisha was great with my baby Tosh! She accepted our booking last minute and was flexible to drop off and pick up. I took Tosh to the groomers before his stay and they trimmed him really low and cut him pretty badly around his neck. Quanisha made me aware at pick up which I truly appreciate. She sent tons of pictures and her children were sad to see Tosh go. We will definitely be booking with Quanisha again!”
“Marie has been an absolute blessing! We found her through Rover but now consider her our dog sitter. I truly appreciated her flexibility during this last visit, she has been so accommodating with schedule changes and always responds with kindness and patience. I have a senior dog who requires extra gentleness and understanding, and Marie has treated him with such genuine care. Marie is calm, attentive, and incredibly compassionate. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing he is safe, comfortable, and loved while in her care. I couldn’t recommend Marie more highly. She is dependable, thoughtful, and someone you can trust completely with your fur family. We are so grateful for her!”
“Jennifer and Nick were wonderful! They took great care of my dog Dex! I got daily updates, not just pictures, but messages letting me know how he was doing. They have a big spacious backyard plenty of space for dogs to run around. I’ll absolutely be a repeat client!”
About: I am an aspiring veterinarian currently working and in school to learn as much as I can about pets and properly caring for them. I have worked at vet clinics for the past 5/6 years and would love the opportunity to care and help out your pets in any way I can. I am very comfortable with both dogs cats and other reptiles as well. I work at an animal clinic so caring for animals is always apart of my days. Animals station and in my care have the option of coming to work with me where they will have a nice comfy spot for the day. I also am able to keep pets at my home and do potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. I am an experienced animal lover and caretaker. I am able to give meds do some small training exercises. I am comfortable giving medication and working with pets that may not be well socialized
“Mary and her family were great with Arthur! He is a very energetic, fun loving little guy and they showed him so much love while he stayed with them. She followed all of my requests and instructions and sent daily pics and videos of him. I was very comfortable leaving him with her and her family and I will definitely use them again. Lauren”
“Alvin did an awesome job taking care of my boy Oscar. He allowed me to have a meet and greet for him and Oscar prior to the booking. Oscar warmed up to him fairly quick and that’s not his normal. I felt it was a match from there. Alvin did a great job in communicating with me throughout Oscar’s day. I definitely plan on using him again for future bookings. EC”

Mary Claire has been an absolute godsend over the past 3 years. She never fails to keep us informed about how our Koko is doing while we’re away. Koko loves her some Mary Claire and I trust her with health and safety of our furbaby when we’re gone. Highly highly recommend.
Adreana was my last-minute result, so I gave her a shot! I contacted her and she "Accepted" the boarding for my three (3) fur babies. Upon arrival at her place of residence, she met me at the driveway entrance with a big, welcoming smile. I knew then my worries could be put aside. She grabbed two of the harnesses, and we went inside and chatted for a bit, got introduced to her fur baby (Shitz Tzu), very friendly and well-mannered. My three (3) had found a new friend. She sent pictures and updates. Well book again with this sitter.. Oh, an inside joke: Lexi is not pregnant...

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lake City is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $40 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 3,311 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 on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Lake City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lake City home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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 GA 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.
