But I have always had animals my whole life that has lined me up to know how to take care of them and to point out if something is wrong with one of them. I make time for all of the babies. Their needs and wants always come before mine. As I was once told I feed and spoil them better then myself.

About: I have never lived a single year of my life without a dog. I train all of my 6 GSDs at home. My family owns a beach house in the Philippines and we needed dogs to provide security. Currently, I'm working as a nurse at MUSC, Florence SC but my dogs are all well taken cared of by the family. I'm single and living alone in my dog friendly apartment and have decided to not take in dogs but instead just help out by being a dog sitter whom people could trust and rely on with regards to care of their pets when they're away. I work only 4 times a week and is still currently adjusting to my life in the US without my dogs. I can't have dogs of my own here since i still send money for all my dogs back home. For this reason I've decided to take care of other peoples dogs :) i live alone in a pet friendly environment where dogs and pets are welcome. I need some doggy love and you can really trust me with dogs and other pets as well. Birds and cats included.
About: I have always been drawn to animals. Since I was a little girl, I've cared for all types of animals, except spiders and snakes!! I have trained a boxer/blue heeler, mini pinscher, poodle, and jack russells. Senior dogs have also been in my care. I also enjoy walking dogs. My daily schedule is flexible because I am caring for my disabled child, who also loves animals. I would be open to weekly and weekend availability. I am reliable, respectful, trustworthy, and professional. Safety is my 1st concern and I would care for your fur babies as though they are my own.
About: Throughout my life animals have always been a big passion of mine. I have owned and worked with animals of all kinds, from snakes, bears, lions, meerkats, dogs, cats, racoons, birds, lizards, fish, hamsters, and many many more. I have worked for the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park along side my mother throughout my childhood as well as owning a bunny, 2 dogs, an iguana, a bird and a fish pond. As an adult I dedicated 5 years to the Charleston Animal Society Shelter as both an adoption rep and an intake rep. That was the most rewarding and difficult job I have ever had. But through all those experiences I have learned how to handle emergencies, behavior issues, and all the kisses and slobber I can handle. I currently have 4 dogs that range from a 140lb German Shepherd/Great Dane to a 8lb Chihuahua/Shih tzu who are all rescue babies and all of them are well trained and spoiled rotten! I am currently home all day but in the unlikely event that I am not here there is always someone home to love on your pup! Over the weekends and holidays we usually stay around the house and play with the puppies in the backyard or take them to get snowcone's in the summer. I have plenty of space and live in a great neighborhood that allows for long walks to the park that is right down the road or big rooms with large doggie beds to snuggle in when its cold outside. I am flexible and usually can work around whatever schedule you need! I currently live in a large house with a big front porch and a large fenced in backyard. I live less than a mile away from Timrod Park and often take walks or golf cart rides with our puppies to play at the park when its warm outside. I have a large mud room right off the kitchen with plenty of space to play around if you prefer your pet to be away from my babies. I also have two large and two small crates if your normal routine is to crate when away. I have lots and lots of soft and warm doggie beds and treats of all shapes and sizes designed for any dog, from sensitive tummies, and seniors to puppies. If you are looking for your pet to just be one of the family and lounge on the couch and sit at my feet while I make dinner or play in the many baskets of toys along side my pups I am more than happy to welcome them that way too! I am professionally trained and have a lot of experience in dog training so if you are looking for some education while you're away or on a daily or weekly basis in my home or yours I can also provide that service as well! Throughout my entire life, both my parents and my little family, always strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment as well as educating and involving our 7 year old little boy with training tips to ensure that our fur babies and our family (as well as any fur baby that wanders up on our porch) live as comfortably and loved as possible together. Any form of loving environments you prefer I can offer your loving pet! I am available daily. I am a stay at home mom and dog mom! So whatever your needs are I can work them out without any issue! I have a large house with plenty of room to play and a large fenced in backyard! We have toys and beds in every corner of the house and a large room in the back in case your pup needs space of their own!
About: I have loved and cared for all animals since I was younger. As a child I was always asked to care for the pets of family members and friends. I work on a 24/72 schedule. I am also in class once-twice a week. Looking for an entertaining and rewarding way to spend my free time! Willing and able to take on any task given. I am a quick learner and will do all that is asked plus more. Will accommodate to the best of my abilities.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 133 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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
