About: Hi! I’m Aniya—a dedicated animal lover with a strong background in both pet care and safety. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my passion and professional training. I’m CPR-certified for pets, trained in basic dog behavior and obedience, and currently working toward my Veterinary Technician certification. Whether your pup needs cuddles, structure, or a little bit of both, I’ve got them covered! Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s woven into my everyday life. From sunrise feedings to bedtime snuggles, I structure my days around making sure every animal in my care feels safe, seen, and loved. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime breaks, or scheduled feeding and medication, I make sure each pet’s needs are met consistently and with care. Because I’m currently studying to become a certified vet tech, I’m constantly learning more about animal health and behavior—which naturally flows into how I care for pets daily. I’ve also worked in a boarding and veterinary facility, so I’m used to managing a busy schedule while still giving each animal one-on-one attention. Whether a pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. In my home, I make sure the space is pet-proofed, cozy, and tailored to each animal’s needs—whether that means quiet corners for shy cats, room to play for energetic pups, or keeping feeding and potty routines consistent. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are top priorities. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat their space with the utmost respect and follow all instructions carefully—down to favorite toys, walking routes, or special meal prep! I bring a calm, positive energy to every visit and pay close attention to the pet’s mood and habits so I can spot anything out of the ordinary.
About: Hi :)) I love exercising and being outdoors and nothing is better than doing that with a dog! I love walking and taking care of dogs and I have plenty of experience with dogs (young and old) and their dietary needs, exercise/physical concerns, and making sure that their overall wellbeing is taken care of and adored :)) Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! I graduated from UGA with an Economics degree and am currently in school part time (again :(( lol), as well as studying for my CPA exams, so I have a very flexible schedule! I typically exercise early, it could be very early (6am) to 2:00pm in the evening, so I am very open between those times any day of the week to take care of your pet(s) :)) Later evenings are perfectly fine as well! Please let me know what you would like for me to do for your dog (pets), their dietary and exercise/physical needs, and if house sitting along with your pet, what I need to do specifically for your household to ensure a smooth experience! I am more than willing to accommodate and want to make sure everyone is happy and healthy!

You can count on me for punctuality, clear updates, and a calm presence that helps pets feel secure while you’re away. As a dog lover and owner, I possess expertise in pet care. I volunteer in an animal hospital called Columbia Belvedere Animal Hospital, where I shadow the vet and perform other tasks like water, walking , bathing, administering medicine, cleaning , and assisting with front desk work. I am home throughout the entire week and ready to take care of your amazing pet. I am available whenever you need me. I am very excited to be your dog's caretaker. I make pet care a natural part of my weekly routine. I’m already used to structuring my days around responsibility, so adding walks, feedings, playtime, and check‑ins fits smoothly into my schedule. I plan ahead, stay organized, and make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon drop‑ins, or weekend stays, I’m able to give pets the time, patience, and energy they need to feel comfortable and cared for. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I follow all instructions exactly feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any house rules you have in place. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and calm companionship. I keep your home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

Esontay is amazing! I always feel completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care because I know they are in good hands. She is dependable, attentive, and genuinely cares about them. Having someone I can trust to take great care of my dogs while I’m away gives me such peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Esontay to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Esontay was great with our boy. He sometimes can have a hard time meeting new people but that didn’t last long with Esontay. She used professional techniques to break the ice with our dog and he can around quickly. Esontay was very professional and accurate with the schedule we lined out with her. Sent pictures and give great updates. It allowed us to be able to enjoy our well needed trip. We will definitely be using Esontay again for future services! Thank you Esontay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 6,261 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lake City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lake City choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lake City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake City. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
