About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I grew in a mini zoo. We had cats, dogs, rabbits, pigeons, roosters, monkeys, turtles and civets just to name a few. I love animals in general and think take care of them makes the world a better place. I have a Job that allows me to work from home so I am always available to check on your fur baby several times during the day! I also live about 20 min from the airport so even if I'm far from you and you need to travel and need boarding, my place is very convenient for drop off and pick up from the airport. I have a fenced yard if your fur baby needs to run or walk around and play! I can crate them as well if there is a need for it.
About: Since i was younger I’ve always loved dogs. Whether my own or volunteering at a shelter my passion has always been animals <3 When i heard about Rover i was ecstatic. Having the chance to meet more fur babies , getting to know each personality, and learning more everyday is something i am looking forward to. I do work full time but an early morning shift (4am-12pm) I have the rest of my day, why not fill it doing something i love? Which is pet care! I take pride in animals and often feel as though i can connect with them better than humans! Other than working in the morning my day is free! I live in an apartment which does not have a yard, but there is a park less than a 2 minute walk from where i stay! My neighborhood is dog friendly and does require leashes on every dog! I can crate your dog if needed, and make adjustments as requested.
“I love her!!! She’s a better dog mom to MY dog than me. She feeds him well and plays with him the entire time. My dog is so happy to have playmates. When he leaves he sleeps like a baby. The best part is she noticed a problem that I didn’t. So glad to have her”
“My puppy ace had a great time thank you so much it’s very hard to find people you can trust to watch your dog I absolutely loved everything Ms Trinise communicated very good with me I will definitely keep booking with her …”
About: At my family-run boarding home, every dog gets the comfort and care they deserve. I offer climate-controlled kennels, a full acre of fenced yard, and a loving home environment — not a crowded facility. With my friendly resident dogs and hands-on attention, your pup will feel safe, happy, and loved from the moment they arrive. Caring for dogs is part of my everyday life, not just something I do on the side. With my own three pups, daily feeding, playtime, and cleaning are already part of my routine. Mornings and evenings include feeding, cleaning kennels, exercise time in the fenced yard, and quick health checks. During the day, I rotate playtime and rest inside the AC- and heat-controlled kennels to keep every dog comfortable. Because I live right on the property, I’m always nearby to give attention and supervision. When your dog stays with me, they become part of my family. I keep every pup safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. Each dog has their own clean, climate-controlled kennel with heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. I follow your pet's normal feeding and routine schedule, give them daily playtime in my secure, fenced acre yard, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. My friendly resident dogs help visiting pups feel welcome and socialized. I also keep a close eye on every dog's health, behavior, and comfort, sending updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing. With me, your pet isn't just boarded — they're cared for like my own.
“Daniel is a fantastic sitter. I think my dog may like Daniel more than me! I can tell by the pictures and daily summary that they have a great time together. Would highly recommend!”
“Thank you Cassandra for making Tashi feel welcome....he looked very happy in the photos. Since he will have an over night stay next week, daycare was a good way for him to get to know you and your place.”
About: Dogs will love playing in the large 1 acre yard that is completely fenced in. They will love staying in a cage-free environment, going for long walks, and being able to relax. Owners will like that I take time to learn each dogs personality to give them the care they need. They will also like that I'm with their dog full-time. I am a foster parent with the Atlanta Humane Society to help work with dogs to prepare them to find their forever homes. My fosters are mainly puppies and young adults. My pet care experience includes caring for puppies, young adults, and seniors, as well as giving medication, eye drops, ear drops, and injections. My home will be your dog's home away from home. Pups are taken out every 3-4 hours for potty and play every day. For dogs that enjoy structured exercise, we will go for leashed walks and take in the sights. Feeding happens twice a day and each pup has their own separate area to enjoy their meals. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep your dog company in my home. When caring for pets in my home or your home I'll learn what your pet needs to provide the best care specific to them. My goal is to keep them in their regular routine to make sure they are as comfortable as possible while their parent/s are away.
“Alannah H is absolutely wonderful with my fur child Yana. She treats Yana as if she is her own. I constantly get photos and communications regarding Yana. It is a relief to know that I found someone that I can just and someone that treats my fur child as if she was her own. Thank you Alannah!”
“Sheavel was a pleasure to work with! Very informative, from calls to video, and I appreciated this communication. Bluey loved being at her home, and I will book again. Thanks again Sheavel!”
“Ruthie and Bart have the best time and get the best care with Arnoldo! He is so thoughtful and sends updates and pics throughout the day and makes sure to provide medication as needed. 1000000% recommend!”
“My fist time using Rover and I was not disappointed. Alert is very knowledgeable, kind and sweet to the dogs she sits. She acknowledges that each has different personalities and needs and cares accordingly. My Queso was welcomed with open arms from the meet and greet to the end of our first booking.”
About: Fun loving pet owner and pet lover living in Decatur, Georgia. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I own one dog and I’m an aunty to two others, as well as god parents to many other pets. Offering boarding and sitting in my comfortable, bright and pet friendly home. I grew up with many pets and I’ve always had a fondness for our furry friends. I’d say I have 30 years experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits. I’m more skilled with small to medium sized trained dogs. I have a backyard that pets can play in once leashed and I take all pets for walks in the neighborhood, weather and their ability permitted. Safety first always! Looking forward to hanging with some cool furry friends. I work from home and I have a little dog of my own so your pet is never alone and has a friend to lounge in the sun and eat treats with. I also have a large crate for if your dog requires crate time or if I have to briefly run an errand. My home is a soft space and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. I do have a ring camera and doors are always closed and locked for added safety. I always accompany my pet friends for leashed discoveries in my backyard and on neighborhood walks to greet the neighbors.
“I can tell that my dogs had a fun time when I picked them up. I’m glad they got the exercise they needed. Marie was available for us at the last minute. Thank you!!”
“I had never used an app to find a sitter but I was in desperate need of a doggie daycare at the last minute for an unexpected event. I nervously used the app and I am so grateful that I got a response from Victoria. When I arrived my fur-babies and I felt the LOVE. The anxiety I was feeling went away. If I could rate Victoria and her doggie daycare on a scale of 10 out of 10, I would double down and give a 20 out of 10 times 2. She cared for my fur-babies as if they were her fur-nephews. I can not say thank you enough!!!”

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lake City on Rover is $22.2 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lake City commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,385 sitters in Lake City, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
