“Juliana responded promptly to my request and was able to feed my cats within just 2 hours of my sitter having an emergency. Complete with pictures of my babies and able to meet the needs of all three of my cats, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Nothing is more valuable than peace of mind and she provided that!”

About: Hi! I’m Aniya—a dedicated animal lover with a strong background in both pet care and safety. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my passion and professional training. I’m CPR-certified for pets, trained in basic dog behavior and obedience, and currently working toward my Veterinary Technician certification. Whether your pup needs cuddles, structure, or a little bit of both, I’ve got them covered! Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s woven into my everyday life. From sunrise feedings to bedtime snuggles, I structure my days around making sure every animal in my care feels safe, seen, and loved. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime breaks, or scheduled feeding and medication, I make sure each pet’s needs are met consistently and with care. Because I’m currently studying to become a certified vet tech, I’m constantly learning more about animal health and behavior—which naturally flows into how I care for pets daily. I’ve also worked in a boarding and veterinary facility, so I’m used to managing a busy schedule while still giving each animal one-on-one attention. Whether a pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. In my home, I make sure the space is pet-proofed, cozy, and tailored to each animal’s needs—whether that means quiet corners for shy cats, room to play for energetic pups, or keeping feeding and potty routines consistent. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are top priorities. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat their space with the utmost respect and follow all instructions carefully—down to favorite toys, walking routes, or special meal prep! I bring a calm, positive energy to every visit and pay close attention to the pet’s mood and habits so I can spot anything out of the ordinary.
About: I have always loved animals and started working in veterinary medicine as early as I could. I am now a technician and love caring for animals of all all ages, breeds, and sizes. I have experience with all types of animals, energy levels, and needs. I have plenty of time right now and would love to spend time with your pets and can even take them on adventures if desired. I try and keep pets the least stressed than can be when I am around. I treat every pet like my own and how I would want my pet to be treated. I am known at my clinics for excellent patient care.
“Audrianna did an excellent job communicating and was quick to respond, even with me booking on short notice. It's very evident she loves what she does! Thank you thank you thank you!”
About: Powered by passion and fueled by happy tails! Backed by a strong foundation in veterinary medicine, I’m 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.
“This was our first time using rover and I am very happy with the experience. Diamond did a great job even after a mix up in addresses for our home. I was nervous since I’ve never had someone who wasn’t family come check on our dogs, but all my pups seemed to have loved her! She was on time and did everything we asked. Definitely a good first experience using rover!!”
About: I've took care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I had a blind cat that I cared for when I was 17 years old. Feeding and walking are the main ways to keep animals well taken care of. Exercising helps keep the pets in great condition with blood properly flowing to the heart. I'll soon be working on getting my veterinarian certificate/license. I'm currently free everyday just not after 6 o'clock pm. I’m free Friday-Sunday mainly all day. If you need a weekend sitter I can be there. I can keep your dog occupied playing and giving belly rubs. Make sure there are no hazards that the animal can choke on safety first.

Pet 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 6,413 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake City. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
