About: Hi, I'm David! I live in Grant Park just off the Southside Beltline with my two cats, Iggy and Nero, and I've had cats my entire life. I grew up with dogs too, so I'm comfortable with pets of all personalities, from the shy cat who hides under the bed to the dog who wants to sprint the whole Beltline. For cats, I know the details matter: fresh food and water, a clean litter box, checking that they're eating normally, and making time for play or quiet company depending on what your cat prefers. For dogs, I offer neighborhood and Beltline walks with plenty of sniff time, and I'll follow your routine and leash rules exactly. I've used Rover for over 10 years to have my own pets cared for, so I know exactly what it feels like to be on your side of the booking. Reliability and communication are what I care about most. You'll get photo updates every visit along with a quick note on how things went, and I'll always show up when I say I will. Your pet will be cared for the same way I care for my own. My weekday schedule is flexible, which makes me a great fit for midday walks and recurring visits. I serve Grant Park and nearby neighborhoods like Ormewood Park, Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, and Summerhill. I'm happy to set up a free meet and greet so you and your pet can get to know me first! My weekday schedule is flexible, so I can handle morning, midday, and evening visits as well as recurring weekly walks. I also take weekend and holiday bookings when my calendar allows, so reach out early for travel dates. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and respond to messages quickly, so you'll always know where things stand. Your pet's safety comes first on every visit. On walks, I always use the leash and harness you provide, check that collars and gear are secure before heading out, and keep a close eye on traffic, other dogs, and anything on the ground that shouldn't be eaten. During drop-ins, I make sure doors and windows are closed behind me, food and medications are put away, and your home is left exactly how I found it. I'm happy to follow any house rules or special instructions, and I'll check in with you right away if anything seems off with your pet.
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I love dogs, cats, and everything in between. I have plenty of experience and love to give! I trained my animals at a young age and I am extremely attentive to all animals. I have a set work schedule so I can reliably care your pets during the work week. I’m off on weekends so I’m available for onboarding as well. I have a huge yard for dogs to run around and a large neighborhood to walk the dogs as well. I have enough space in my home to dog sit and cat sit. I also have a lot of space for cats to roam around.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake City
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 October 2026, there are 6,132 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lake City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
