About: I have over 21 years experience caring for dogs and cats. Through my volunteer work at animal shelters and pet sitting for family and friends I have developed an understanding for pet care needs. I currently have open availability for drop ins for early mornings and late nights to accommodate for 3rd shift. I am avaliable on weekends and some holidays for drop ins and walks but, unfortunately at the moment I'm not available for over night stays or boarding. My schedule is open for most of the day except between 4PM-8PM during the week. When sitting in your home I ensure your pets safety and follow all your care routines. I make sure your fur baby is well taken care of and loved.
About: Powered by passion, fueled by happy tails, and alongside a strong foundation in veterinary medicine, I am committed to providing compassionate, knowledgeable care. I take pride in forming trusting relationships with every pet I meet Pets free roam! I have an area for feeding, able to walk pets several times throughout the day, and my home provides a quiet/stress free environment for both dogs and cats! Pet care and enrichment are my top priority. I provide multiple walks throughout the day, positive reinforcement, and approved treats. Daily playtime is included! I am trained in administrating medicine via subcutaneous injection, transdermal medication, and oral medication.

“Needed a cat sitter while I was away getting married and on honeymoon and Mary was great helping us keeping cats hydrated with clean litter. It was a nice surprise to find a flower arrangement from her once I came back home! 😁”

About: Animal lover here. With me, you know you are getting a service provided that comes from the heart of an animal lover. I will treat your pets like they are my own. 24/7 Pet care I wake up to tend to pets, I eat with pets, I have fun with pets, I treat pets with care like they’re my own. If boarding, your dog must be inside trained and not aggressive. Your pet must get along with other pets. No meanies. All pets are welcomed for boarding as long as they come with a crate and their food.

“Kerry did an amazing job caring for my girls. From the pictures and updates she sent, I could tell they felt comfortable and trusted her. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and support she provided while I was out of town. As a first-time mom navigating postpartum, being away from them was difficult, and Kerry went above and beyond to reassure me. Whenever I felt nervous or anxious, she made sure I knew they were doing well. She even sent me a video of my dog when I shared concerns that she might be missing me, which meant so much. Kerry made me feel completely comfortable and confident in her ability to care for my girls. She also captured some amazing group pictures that I will cherish. I highly recommend booking with her she is thoughtful, caring, and truly wonderful at what she does.”

About: Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. I have volunteered working with animals and have taken care of my own pets (dog cats and fish) for 12 years now. I can meet the vibe of most animals whether they are laid back and quiet or hyper and ready to go! All animals deserve respect and patience, and I provide these when working with new animals. I have bottle fed kittens and taken care of sick animals. Our pets are our family and I treat every new pet as a new friend! Most of my free time is on the weekends but I have no problem popping in on your fur baby! Walks, cuddles, food and treat time even a good snooze! Whatever they need, I am happy to assist with! I am always respectful of a client's home, as someone who has experience working as an Operations Manager for children with Autism, I have always been sensitive to the needs of others. I will ask questions and gather information for clarification on your furry friend's needs and review a schedule with you before getting started!
“This was the best decision I could have made. Darayell is awesome! She communicates at a high level, keeping us comfortable while on vacation. There were photos of all interactions during her visit. I can't say enough about Darayell's professionalism and attention to detail. I will only use Darayell for here out. Thanks !!!”

“Ben took excellent care of our dog, Ernie - he sent detailed updates and was very patient with our quirky rescue! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and thorough dog sitter!”

“We were so lucky to find Elizabeth!! My aunt passed away, which left her pets without care. Elizabeth did not hesitate to step in and offer the best care while we searched for new homes for the animals. Kind, responsible, and just outright cool. You're lucky if you get the chance to book with Elizabeth. 5 stars all around!!”

About: Hi there! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, caring for pets like dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I’m currently in college studying to become a vet tech and work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I care for pets of all sizes and personalities. I started pet sitting in August of last year and have loved every second of it! I provide personalized care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, and I treat every pet like family. Let me know how I can help care for your furry friends—I’d love to meet them! I am currently a student, and my work schedule varies weekly, typically ranging between 6:00 AM and 6:30 PM. However, I pride myself on being highly flexible and am happy to accommodate your needs with clear and timely communication. I currently have two dogs at home—a pit mix and a greyhound mix. My pit mix does not get along with other dogs, so I have experience managing and keeping dogs safely separated when necessary. I am also experienced in administering medications and ensuring pets receive the care they need. Additionally, I provide detailed updates and photos throughout the day to keep you informed and at ease.
About: I create a warm and welcoming space for dogs where they can feel at home! Your furry friend is free to roam around my house alongside my own pups, enjoying the company and playtime. They’ll also have the chance to run and explore in my spacious, private 6ft fenced yard, with a handy doggy door for easy in-and-out access whenever they want! I provide constant fresh water, and they can interact and socialize with other dogs, having a blast during their stay. Plus, they'll sleep comfortably in a cool, air-conditioned environment. Your pup will be well taken care of and have a fantastic time here! Retired, available all day, full-time, seven days a week now. I’m available weekends holidays, day and/ or night. There is an extra charge if you want to drop off before 8 AM. I prefer drop off the night before and pick or pick up the next day. I treat all furbabies that enter my home like they’re my children each individual. I get to know their personality and judge them accordingly I’d like to get down on their level and connect with them to eye each dog has its own personality.

About: I have been working at boarding facilities, vet clinics,rescues and animal shelters since I was 16 and am currently working on getting licensed to be a vet tech. I have done both shelter work and TNR. I have handled countless scared, aggressive, anxious, rambunctious animals as well as disabled and medicated babies so I have plenty experience with handling animals of all kinds! This is my passion; I do my best to provide the best care that I can for your pet! I am trained on animal behavior and medical care. I have plenty experience with elderly animals and pets with health concerns. Anything else you'd like to know I'd be happy to answer any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your baby! I am usually naturally an early riser and a bit of a night owl so I am prepared for lots of different schedules and routines. I follow each animals' schedule to the T if possible. As well as providing treats and enrichment throughout the entire visit! I also make sure to give them lots of attention and accommodate any sleeping arrangements your animals are used to.
“Mical has done drop in vistis for my 3 cats twice now. I won't have anyone else going forward. Mical makes sure they are well taken care of. Cat boxes are clean, food and water filled. My cats will hid when some ones in and Mical always try to find them to make sure they are OK. During one visit she noticed the house was a little cold and called to find out how to turn on the heat. I appreciate how caring and thoughtful she is and I always know my babies will be well cared for. I can't say enough good things about Mical. I Highly recommend!!!”

About: Dog mom and lover who prioritizes calm and fun experiences for pets! Recently moved to Atlanta from NYC with my gentle giant and boyfriend. I do drop-ins, playdates, and walks, and can also feed / administer medication while you're out. Overall, I'd love to tailor every visit to what you're hoping your dog gets to experience in their social time, individually with me or alongside my dog, Zeppelin. He is very calm, well-trained, and friendly, and we'd love to help your puppy practice their social skills f you'd like. If your dog is working on confidence, manners, or just needs a gentle friend to learn from, my dog is a great teacher! It's also important for me to create an environment that they genuinely enjoy, whether at your home or outside, so would love to chat about what your dog likes, doesn't like, etc. prior to our meet-and-greet so I can come with some treats or ideas of things to do together! 🐶 Creative play: Enrichment games, fetch, scent games, and simple training fun, either one-on-one with me or alongside my own dog, Zeppelin, who loves other dogs and is very calm and gentle! 🌳 Slow sniff-walks: Perfect for puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, or anyone who needs to decompress. Sniffing is brain work, and we take our time. 🏃 Faster-paced walks & runs: For high-energy dogs who need to burn off steam and come home happily tired. ☀️ Heat-smart care: I pay close attention to heat tolerance, pavement temperature, shade, and water breaks, and I plan activity and feeding times around them so your dog stays comfortable, safe, and well adjusted. Adventures Beyond the Block My car is equipped with a safety puppy seat, so if you'd like, I can take your dog on outings like hiking trails, nearby parks, or fun new places to explore. Just tell me what your dog enjoys, and I'll plan something that fits their pace and personality. Sidebar - I love making homemade treats for all my clients and am happy to whip up batches for you and your fur baby as well! Credentials and philosophy: I've volunteered at dog shelters (specifically on dogs with behavioral and medical challenges) since high school (for the last 15 years) and I've owned and trained 3 dogs (2 family, 1 my own) and self-studied dog behavior and nutrition! I'm really keen on making sure dogs feel many different sources of love, dignity and simple joys throughout their day. Having a secure and happy dog is one of the most rewarding feelings ever, and I'd love to help make sure that special days with me contribute to that! I'm currently working part-time and from home, so I have lots of time to create a schedule with you around walks, playdates or different adventures. do a free meet-and-greet before every first booking, collect detailed health and behavior info, and tailor every outing to your dog's needs. All dogs are leashed with secure, well-fitted gear, and in my car they ride in a safety puppy seat. I watch heat, pavement temperature, hydration, and feeding times closely, and I'm familiar with the signs of heat stress. Playdates are always supervised and approved by owners first, and I'll keep you updated with photos and notes throughout.
About: I fell in love with dogs since the age of 4 after being terrified from my first encounter. But after a few more curiosity approaches, I went from being afraid to loving every dog I came across from walks and loving every dog I came across even on the roads. No matted fur or patches will stop me from giving it affection (ask my girlfriend about the dogs I pet on our trips lol) Any moods the fur baby gives I try to match so we both can say (or bark) “yeah this was a great day…now what about treats!” Tend to every need I can, have bathed my own fur baby but no experience with nail trimming (not forcing to do something they don’t like) and always love seeing that wide smiles either from play or from my belly scratches! Working full time so will really be available on every other weekend with some days in the week. Just message me and I’ll let you know my availability! Never want to miss meeting another fur-ones! Constant monitor when at play in case someone decides to eat something they had no business. Will always check area for random loose trash that might look to appetizing for the fur baby. We’re not getting no upset tummies in this (or your) household!
About: I have been working with dogs for four years now! I started off walking for Wag!, and now I not only do walks, but I am also available for sittings and drop-ins! I have experience walking dogs that tug and dogs that are more slow walker; I enjoy them all! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am currently in school, so I have Monday-Thursday open for mornings and afternoons ONLY, and Friday and Sunday are open for books all day! I can also do Saturday nights occasionally! While animals are in my care, I love to play with them and give them frequent belly rubs! Whether they go in the backyard to play or they play in the house, I try to keep them occupied with fun!

Pet 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 6,381 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
