“Brittany is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! My cat is hard to please and he LOVED her. She provides PLENTY of pictures which is exactly what a fur momma wants when away. I could not recommend Brittany more!!!”

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
“Ariana was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog, and I would happily book with her again. She came every day as scheduled, took great care of my dog, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire stay. One of my favorite parts was receiving the daily updates and photos. It was clear from the pictures that my dog was comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. If you’re considering booking Ariana, don’t let the number of reviews deter you. She is trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her care, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”

“Kaylah was honestly the best I could’ve asked for. My animals were well taken care of and they enjoyed their time. She was reliable, responsive and provided pictures daily”

About: Animals are truly a gift to our lives. With my love and care I will make sure your precious gift is well loved, groomed, and taken cared of while you’re away. I will take into considerstion all of your pet’s needs and wants, along with yours, to make sure your pet gets the best care possible. This is my first time working as a pet sitter on an official app like Rover, but I have experience taking care of my own pets and walking dogs on WAG!, so I know how much your pets mean to you! Saying this, I am beyond excited to get into the field! I am always open to talk and work around schedules! I hope that you choose me to care for your little (or big) bundle of joy! I’m currently working remote so I have plenty of time to watch, play with, and walk your pet! I often take walking breaks during the work day as well, so I will make sure they get plenty of sunlight and exercise. Your loved one will never be lonely and they will have plenty of company during the day. I will treat your pet like it’s my own: with lots of love and lots of care. I’ll make sure to check your pet daily for any abnormal behavior so that you are immediately aware of anything concerning. In my own home, I’ll make sure to put away things that may pose a danger to them, allow them to smell the area to become familiar with it, and stay in their eyesight so they can learn to become comfortable in my presence. In your own home, I’ll be respectful of your space. I’ll keep your pet from areas that are off limits and make sure to clean spaces that they frequent often. On walks, I’ll keep an eye out on the areas that we walk in and the things they pick up (especially puppies) so they aren’t digesting anything harmful. I’ll take all precautions to make sure your pet is safe and sound!
About: I provide calm, reliable, loving pet care with genuine attention, patience, and consistency. As a former TSA Officer, I understand the importance of responsibility, trust, and paying close attention to every detail. I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch, treating them like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, staying active, and creating a safe, loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. Your pet will enjoy a clean, comfortable home with regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, fresh water, feeding on their normal schedule, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, explore, or simply relax, I’ll tailor their care to fit their unique personality and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, staying active, maintaining consistency, and creating calm, loving environments for pets to feel safe. Pets in my home receive a calm, clean, and loving environment with regular potty breaks, playtime, attention, fresh water, feeding schedules, comfort, supervision, and plenty of affection throughout the day.

About: I am a passionate dog lover and have been since I can remember. I have a large fenced in shady back yard that I treat regularly for fleas and ticks. I live in an older quiet neighborhood (close to the Atlanta Airport) where all the neighbors watch out for each other. I will walk your dog daily, play fetch, daily brush, or whatever your dogs desire. I am currently doing on-line dog grooming, dog obedience, and dog CPR/First Aid through Animal Behavior College and will be certified by June 2015. I provide a safe and comfortable environment inside and outside. Your dog will be my main concern while in my care. I have a female Pitbull puppy who I socialize with people, animals, children, and babies; she is my sweet heart. My son, daughter-in-law, three year old grandson, and their two Chihuahuas live with me at this time and they are animal lovers just like I am. We promise your furry loved one will always want to return for another visit. We hope to hear from you soon, so that you can take care of your business or go on a vacation and not have to worry about your loved furry family member. I will keep you posted daily with pictures so you do not worry while you are away. Look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. Lela About this sitter: I am a very compassionate, caring, and patient person, especially with animals and the elderly. I will love and care for your dog/cat to the point where he/she will always want to come back for another visit. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs since I can remember. I was always bringing home strays as a little girl and drove my parents crazy. My last three dogs I have adopted from rescues, who have very strict guidelines. This time I chose to raise a puppy from the get go and her name is Zena. Actually, all dogs love me. I have never been without a dog for long and when I didn't have a dog, it was just because I didn't have the time to give them the attention I know they need. About my yard I have a wonderful mostly shaded fenced in back yard with two separate fenced in areas. My yard has three different levels, each lower than the other, but each level ground with barrier walls. If dogs needed to be separated while outside, my yard is equipped for this. All total, I believe it about 2000 square feet, with a shaded back porch as well. My hope would be that I am never in the situation to have to separate dogs, but I am equipped to do this, if needed. My yard is bigger than my house, even though my house is small, it is very comfortable.
About: I offer a wide variety of pet care from puppies to senior pets!! I am familiar with giving medicine (as needed) and giving accommodations for pets that need it. I have experience with training pups and the ability to uphold the training already given. I currently have sunday-tuesday off and am available for walks and drop in visits on those days. I am available for boarding at my house all week. Other availability can be made upon request. I respect everyone’s space as I would want to be respected. That extends to you entrusting me to care for your fur baby. At my house, pup’s will be crated when I am not home and will have time to exert energy daily. At your home, I will assume whatever routine you provide me until your return.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for the majority of my life, starting with my family's pets and continuing with my own senior dog, Minnie, whom I've cared for for 13 years. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of a pet's needs throughout all life stages. What truly sets me apart is my specific experience with senior care, including the comfort and skill to administer medication like eye drops and pills. I am also confident and capable of handling large, energetic breeds, as I regularly care for my sister's two 70-pound Huskies. I believe in a calm and patient approach to every pet I meet, earning their trust and making them feel comfortable and safe with me. Since I work part-time, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I can accommodate a range of times for dog walks and drop-in visits, and my flexibility also makes me available for last-minute requests. Pet care is a priority for me, and my schedule is built to ensure I can provide consistent and timely care for every client. When caring for pets, whether it's for a drop-in visit or a dog walk, my first priority is to follow the owner's specific instructions and routine exactly as they are laid out. Before starting, I will ask about your pet's routine, personality, and how they respond to different environments to ensure a stress-free and positive experience. For drop-in visits, I will ensure your pet has fresh food and water, gets a potty break, and has some quality one-on-one time, whether it's through play, cuddles, or just companionship. For dog walks, I focus on providing a safe and enjoyable experience, matching the pace to your dog's needs and energy level while being attentive to our surroundings. I believe clear communication with the owner is key, and I will be sure to provide updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing.

About: Patient, firm but gentle dog handler and groomer. I have over 15 years of experience working with dogs including working as a dog groomer. I feel consistency is the best method to keeping dogs balanced so I will work closely with you to create a routine that is best for your fur baby. My approach as a handler is through repetition/consistency/patience. I primarily work from home, I do work part time a few days a week outside of the home. I aim to keep the same feeding and potty schedule the pet currently has to lessen anxiety and behavioral issues. If I’m not able to do so, I will not book the boarding. I give fur babies time and space to acclimate to the new environment. For safety no food, totes or treats are provided, except from pet parent. All fur babies are in collar & leash for bathroom breaks/walks. I board two fur babies maximum and small/medium sized fur babies only.
“Audrianna was fantastic! She handled our girl with confidence and care. I recieved consistent updates on how the care was going. She was prompt and attentive to Maise's needs and care. I will definitely use her again and recommend others employ her service as well!”

About: I've had pets my entire life and love animals. I treat them with love and respect as well as positive reinforcement. I am familiar with dog training and crate training (I have trained my last three dogs). I give lots of love, walks, and affection. I am a stay at home mom and all of my children are in school now. My main obligation is taking the kids to and from school, and other than that, I'm completely free to play with pets. I have a large fenced in yard and an awesome trail to walk in my neighborhood for dogs who love to walk. My dog is crate trained and likes to spend a few hours of quiet time in his crate every day. I am currently raising kittens who are crate trained but mostly like to roam freely.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Lake City is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake City
Esontay was absolutely wonderful! My girl can be very timid around new people, but Esontay was patient and took the time to let her warm up at her own pace. That meant a lot to me, and it made a huge difference in how comfortable my dog felt. I really appreciated her reliability and communication, and I’m already in the process of setting up the next visit. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after.

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 July 2026, there are 6,164 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.

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.
