“Zoey loved hanging out with them, I can tell she felt at home. Already booked them again before we even picked her back up from the first visit. They are amazing.”
“I was 900 miles away for six days and my mind was completely at ease. Danni kept me apprised of how my dogchild, Ernie, was doing the entire time I was gone. She frequently checked in with photos and videos. I always knew how he was behaving, and if he was ever off center Danni gave him the extra attention he needed. She will be Ernie’s keeper from now on. Most strongly recommended!”
“After Jeanie watched our Aussie pup, Titan, I don’t think we could chose anyone else. She was so kind and treated him like her own. We received so many fun and playful pictures during his time with her. We knew what his day looked like everyday we were away. She made this process so much easier on us and Titan.”
“Lucas was an amazing fit for us! He was so flexible, engaging, and kind! You could tell he has a HUGE heart for loving on all the dogs and treats them as if they are his own. Lucas made sure to listen, meet Alfred, provide updates throughout the stay. Alfred had an amazing time with Lucas and his dogs, especially running around with Lana! When he came home he was worn out from all the fun he had. I am excited to book with Lucas again and know Alfred is in great hands!”
“Copper loved his stay with Keturah & Tyler! Communication was great before and during his first overnighter. We definitely would recommend Keturah and Tyler and we will be back!”
“Hannah is a wonderful human! She took amazing care of my older dog and even sent him home with homemade treats. I can’t thank her enough. She was communicative and I felt great leaving my old man with Hannah. Thank you, Hannah!”
About: I have had pets for my entire life. I have experience giving oral medications as I have had geriatric dogs. Your pets deserve to have as much of their normal routine as possible while their parents are out of town. I am available for full day care on Wednesday, Thursday, some Fridays, and weekends as a supplement to my full time job. I no longer have pets of my own and would love the opportunity to love your pets as if they were mine! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. They deserve to be comfortable in their homes, maintaining their normal routines. I would love to help!
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Frankie! He came home absolutely tuckered out and exhausted, so I know he had a fantastic time playing and getting plenty of exercise. I really appreciate your great communication and care especiallysince this was a bit of a last minute booking. If the need arises, we will definitely be looking to book again!”
“Hanna was a great sitter! And, I feel lucky because I got into town where a dog-friendly hotel wouldn’t allow us to crate Jackpot if not present, on Memorial Day weekend! Jackpot had lots of fun playing with Hanna’s daughter in the backyard. I don’t think my pup wanted to leave!”
“Megan took care of our two boys while we were away for 6 nights and did such a great job!! We received pictures and updates every day and she was so quick to respond to any messages or updates from us. Super easy to work with and took great care of our dogs. Her dogs got along with ours so well. She’s our new go-to sitter for sure!”
“Elexis was amazing!! From the get go they communicated well and eased my mind when it came to knowing my pup was in good hands!! At the end of his boarding I could tell that he had an amazing stay!! So much love for this sitter!!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a child, and have always begged my parents for a cat! I have experience pet sitting both dogs and cats, and have been in the business for more than 5 years! I can administer medicine, and any special care your animal might need. I’m happy to accommodate! I am a college student who has class MWF until 1:30! After that, I have the rest of the day to spend with your pet! I live in an apartment with grass all along the property. There is plenty of space for walks, and any exercise your pet might need!
“Lanelle was very good at communicating and sending me pictures of my dog. She was also very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Also very attentive to my dog!”
About: I've been taking care of 4 legged animals since I was 6 years old. I am able to understand animals body languages and feel out their vibe and match it I am looking for employment so they might be left alone for some time but I have a partner who works from home and can look out for them I have an unfenced yard, 5 dogs and 4 cats. Everyone gets along but take a second to warm up and get the excitement out
“Katie was easy to talk to and easy to work with. Her dogs, and their setup made me feel comfortable leaving my pup for her first "day care." Katie has a natural good humor in working with dogs, and mine took to her without much trouble. Thanks, Katie!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake City
I can’t recommend them enough. My husband and I were really not able to do much because Ryder has separation anxiety. Charlie and Casey sent us updates through out the day and our baby looked so relaxed and happy. I definitely will not use anyone else. Thanks Charlie and Casey.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lake City home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lake City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lake City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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 TN 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
