About: I have experience caring for pets with different needs, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn what makes yours feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is the personal care I give… your pet gets the same love, respect, and attention I would give my own. I’ll be starting school in August and i have a day job from 8am- 5pm with the weekends off. So if that would be able to fit in your schedule i’ll be a great person for your pet. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable and secure. In both my home and the client’s home, I focus on keeping things calm, clean, and familiar making sure they get love, exercise, meals on time, and lots of attention.
“Jacqueline did a great job checking on 5 dogs for me! It was super last minute and she was willing to come over to do a meet and greet and then let them out the very next day. I can tell they were very happy and had a great time with her.”
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the years, including dogs and cats. Having grown up around animals myself, I understand how difficult it can be for pets when their owners are away. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re on vacation, and I’ll give them plenty of attention, affection, and care until you return. I’m currently a college student and in Naval ROTC. With that being said I have classes Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Monday and Wednesday at 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM, and Friday at 12:00 PM. I’m generally available outside of those class times and have most weekends completely open. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they stay on their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on each pet’s individual needs and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free while their family is away. I always send updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Angela was wonderful with our two cats - our shy one even felt comfortable enough to give her a cuddle in the short time she was with them! She was very responsive and made us feel comfortable being away from them. We would absolutely recommend Angela.”

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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
