Shylina is great with our Theo, we can’t imagine having anyone else look out for him when we are away. She addresses our concerns without us even asking. They says “two paws up!”.

About: Hi there! My name is Savannah, and I recently moved to the area! I grew up around dogs/cats of all kinds my whole life and have previous experience with dog sitting for friends while they were away on trips. I’ve also volunteered at my local animal shelter, where I spent time caring for and walking both dogs and cats. You don’t need to worry about traveling, as I have my own vehicle to travel. Because I work part time at a clinic, I’m available only afternoons and nights during the week. However, I'm available all day during the weekends. If you need a sitter, I would be unavailable to take them to my own house, but can stop in/stay at your place. Caring for an pet greatly depends on the pet themselves and the owner's desires. I love to play and be active with the animals if allowed. If a pet is older and doesn't like to be active for long, I enjoy just spending the quality time so they aren't lonely while their owner is away. I also always check in with the client about their pet's basic needs, such as how much they are fed and how often, how often they are let out, if there is any needs for any disabilities, etc.

Samantha was absolutely great! She stopped in and took care of our four cats for a week while we were on vacation . Two of them needed medications daily. Samantha also cleaned the cat boxes and watered our outdoor flowers. We couldn't have been happier with the way she handled it all. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again and will definitely recommend her to others. Thank you Samantha!

My schedule is open in afternoons/ night/overnight. I am willing to do check-ups as well as overnight care as needed. I have the most experience with cats, but I have reptile experience. At home, I feed my pets on schedule, provide fresh water daily, take them for walks, play with them, groom them, monitor their health, and give them plenty of love and attention.

About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣

About: I’m a passionate dog lover who’s spent years providing exceptional care to dogs of all breeds and ages. My journey began long before my beloved heart dog, whose companionship deepened my commitment to love, patience, and understanding in caring for furry companions. I believe every dog is unique and deserves to feel safe, cherished, and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart - Heartfelt commitment: My genuine love for dogs drives me to create a nurturing environment where each pet feels at home. I respect the emotional bond between pets and their owners and work to maintain the pet’s comfort in the owner’s absence. - Puppy expertise: I use positive reinforcement to support good behavior, healthy socialization, and plenty of playtime for puppies. - Senior dog care: I provide compassionate, specialized care for senior dogs, from gentle exercise routines to medication administration, ensuring their comfort and wellbeing. - Personalized attention: I learn each dog’s personality, preferences, and routine so I can tailor care—whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles—to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. With a heartfelt approach and commitment to excellence, I guarantee your furry family member will receive the love, attention, safety, and care they deserve while you’re away. As a self-employed entrepreneur, I have the flexibility to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to your furry family during their stay. Whether it's providing companionship, engaging in playtime, or adhering to their feeding and exercise schedules, I ensure that your pet receives the care and love they need. My adaptable schedule means your pet will never feel alone, and I can provide consistent support and companionship throughout their time with me. In my home, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a secure, fenced yard where they can play and explore freely. My space is designed to accommodate your furry friend with plenty of room to relax. If you prefer, I can crate your dog for added security, or we can allow them to roam comfortably without a crate during their stay. Rest assured, your pet will feel safe and at home in my care.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud pet parent who truly believes pets are part of the family. ❤️ I’m dependable, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I make communication a priority. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance while you’re away! Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply a cozy companion while you’re gone, I’d love to help. 🐶🐾 I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your furry family members! I have a flexible schedule and can work with a variety of pet-care needs. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting based on your pet’s routine and your schedule. I’ll work with you ahead of time to make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, and love they need! At this time I do prefer to watch pets in their own home where they are familiar with their surroundings. I will board pets at my home, but I do live on a fairly busy highway with an unfenced yard. If you wish for me to watch your pet in my home, I do ask that they are very well trained off leash or are content being on a long leash outside. I ask this for your pets safety & would absolutely hate for something to happen. When watching pets in my home, my husband comes home every day for lunch during the week and can accommodate play time & bathroom breaks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 287 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:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
