Pet Sitting in Lake City

“Rebecca looked after my cats so well, I really appreciated her services! I went out of town to attend my sibling’s wedding and I was so glad I didn’t have to worry about my pets while enjoying time with my family. Rebecca was wonderful to communicate with and kept me updated all along the way. Highly recommend Rebecca!”

“Sarah was super kind and helpful! We really appreciated her quick responses and the updates and pics of our cat while we were out of town. Thanks, Sarah! :)”

About: I’ve always had dogs, kept dogs, love dogs! Looking to make a little extra money and what better way than to love on dogs! We do have a Goldendoodle and a cat. Fenced back yard. Will walk them and play with them. I work 32 hrs a week. Home by 2:30 on Thursdays and off Fridays and weekends. Mon-Wed I am home by 4:30. Evening walks and fenced in yard. They would stay indoors. I have a fenced in yard and a 3,000 square foot house. I am happy to crate them or if potty trained and not destructive they can stay inside with no crate. I have 2 daughters 9 and 13 to entertain them. Also have a Goldendoodle that loves all dogs!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 8. My mother used to raise Yorkshire terriers and I was required to do a lot of help with them. (I have assisted in multiple birthings when I was little LOL) As a child, I was the neighborhood animal sitter. As an adult, I have pet sit with multiple animals, big and small. I truly have a love for animals and will always treat your animal as my own! I know when I go on vacations or out of town how stressful it can be to leave my animals. How stressful it can be to not know who will be able to take care of them and if they will be loved on while I’m away. I will always keep an open line of communication with you, send pictures to keep you in the loop and listen to the needs and wants you may have. Thank you for trusting me to care for your animals. Animals are family and I fully intend to treat them as my own! ALL dogs are required to be up to date on bordetella, hepatitis, rabies, distemper, parvo, and parainfluenza before booking. I will require proof of vaccines. ALL Cats and dogs are required to be on a monthly heartworm preventative and flea and tick medicine before booking. Please provide proof at booking. Lastly, if you are booking overnights in YOUR home.. please know my kiddos would be tagging along. They are extremely well behaved and will not harm anything. The only thing they will do is give your furry babies all kinds of extra lovin! If you are not comfortable with children being in your home(overnight) then I am unfortunately not the right fit for you. I look forward to meeting you and your pawsome friends🐾 I work full time, Monday- Friday typically 8-5. I do work away from home. I am able to do checkins, walks, or any other animal care before and after work. Weekends I have an open schedule! I am hoping one day, this will be my full time job with enough support and then I will be completely open! In my home, I do have 3 cats and 2 children. We all love animals! I do not have a fenced in yard. However, we do have a big yard for your animal to get exercise in or we can go for a walk around my neighborhood! If you bring your animal to my home, you are welcome to bring a crate or anything needed for your furry friends! I will only crate your animal at night if staying over night and during the day from typically 8-4 or 5 while I am at my full time job. At your home, I can do check ins and I will let your animal outside to use the bathroom, run around and play and get the brain stimulated for a few minutes. I can take your dog on a short walk, or long if needed. Play fetch. I can clean up puppy pads. Feed and water. Etc. whatever you may need, I can do. Just let me know the details. I will send you some pictures of your animals daily as a check in.

“This being the first time I have used Rover, I was a little nervous and anxious. Storm was very reassuring and comforting that everything was going to be okay. I am so happy that I chose her for my Kash Kitty. She was very attentive to his needs. She provided me with numerous pictures everyday which eased my nervousness. I definitely recommend her and will be using her again for sure.”

“Louisa has been helping out with my dogs for a couple months now and she has taken excellent care of them when I am at work or out of town. My dogs loves her and she makes sure they get the attention they need. My dogs are my world and she treats them with the same love and care! I will continue to use Louisa and highly recommend her to anyone in need!”

Gabrielle G.

“So happy that I chose Jolie to watch our cats while we were away for the holidays. I didn’t worry about them at all because she would always send me photos and detailed updates about them. I would love to book her again! You can really tell how much she loves and respects animals.”

About: My family had dogs throughout my childhood, and I was helping take care of them as early as 10 years old. I have had many dogs throughout my adult life as well, including raising and training puppies (of some notoriously stubborn breeds I might add!). I raised my last dog from the time he was 6 weeks old. I also have plenty experience administering medicine, including giving insulin shots. Dogs and other animals can generally sense my loving vibe and feel comfortable around me right away. I work remote from home, so my availability is pretty much wide open. I also have very few commitments outside of work, besides some volunteering and yoga once a week. I will treat your pet with love and respect as if it were my own. I'm happy to accommodate any of your pets' needs and personality types. Energetic young buck? Let's play fetch or go for a run. Nervous Nellie? I'm here to comfort and soothe you with belly rubs for days. Attention craver? I'm all yours, show me that awesome toy again.

“Emma did great and Champ loved her. She was super reliable and took time out of her Thanksgiving to come visit and take care of Champ. If I could give 10 stars I would. I will book her in the future if I need a sitter.”

“I think this is my fourth time hiring Karen in about six months. She is so conscientious and a great communicator, for example flagging things like notes from the apartment complex about maintenance. I always feel good leaving my kitty in her hands.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have experience with all size dogs and I am comfortable with them. Happy to feed, walk, bathe, work on training, you name it, I’m down! I do not currently have a job. I watch pets full time! I do have a Yorkie and a Maltese. I live in LaFollette with my husband. I have a big yard and a very walkable neighborhood. Animals I take care of get treated like my own family. I am happy to make specific accommodations for any pet I watch.

“As always, Tracy did an amazing job with our 2 pitbulls! She exercises them, gives medication, feeds, waters & loves on them. She also takes the best pictures to reassure us when we're missing our babies. You will NOT be disappointed if Tracy watches your fur babies!”

About: I've raised, nurtured & loved long-lived dogs & cats my entire adult life. I've fostered dogs & cats for Humane Society affiliate in Kentucky, performed dog rescue transport & cared for my friends' pets. I am retired and home most of the time to pamper, love on & protect your fur baby in my home, drop-in at your pet's happy place and to take your fur ball for walks. I have a large, fenced & level back yard. 24/7 access is through a doggie door off the sunroom. I am a recent pet widow so your pet will have my full attention in my home.

“Haley is such a great friend to our dog! He was very well cared for when we went out of town. Haley arrived on time and took him on long walks, keeping us up to date the whole time. She also brought in packages from our doorstep and checked to make sure our pipes weren’t freezing - above and beyond!”

Sarah S.

“I could not have been happier with the care and attention Heather gave to my dog while we were away. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for. She was very detailed in her updates and I loved seeing pictures and reading her summaries of what went on during her visits. I would highly recommend her services to any pet owner.”

About: My first ever job in high school was working for a doggy daycare, training, and grooming facility. This is where my love for animals of every kind bloomed, and i personally have a horse, two dogs, and a cat at my home away from college that I miss very much. At my knoxville home I adore taking my friend's dogs hiking and to the dog park to fulfill that itch of spending time with furry friends. I am a student taking a few classes in the mid morning, and I volunteer at a hospital in town on Tuesday every week for two hours. I am very meticulous about maintaining the perfect care for my pets and yours. I understand how important these members of the family are, and I do very well when given a specific list. My love for the outdoors and hiking specifically complement the energetic pups, but I am just as happy to relax at home to study or read.

About: I have taken care of all types of fur babies for as long as i can remember of mine and others. I will always take care of yours as if they are my own. I do my own dog walking business “wiggle wag walking” I’m on here for additional clients!! I am currently working part time M-F but that doesn’t interfere with my dog walking. However, i do prefer drop in visits as it is easier to work around but not against overnight stays! I will always take care of your babies as if they were my own. As a dog mom, i understand the worry of trusting someone new with your fur baby! With that in mind i can assure you that i will do everything i can to keep them safe and happy.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life—dogs, cats, and everything in between—so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I currently have a 4-year-old chocolate lab named Stokely Mae, and she's truly my best friend. I’ve raised her since she was just 7 weeks old and trained her every step of the way—from basic commands to leash manners and socializing with other animals. Every day, I manage a household with four large dogs (three Labs and one Husky), each with their own personalities and needs. I handle their feeding schedules (three times a day), including different portions and diets, with consistency and care. Whether it's high-energy playtime, calm walks, or gentle attention for older dogs, I adapt to meet each pet’s unique needs. I treat every animal like family and always aim to create a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and happy. I'm a teacher, so my summer schedule is wide open—perfect for giving your pets the attention they deserve! During the school year, I’m available for weekend care and occasional evenings. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I love being able to spend my free time with animals. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-in visits, I can be flexible and reliable when you need a helping hand. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and needs—whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, managing medications, or providing a calm, secure environment. I take the time to earn each pet’s trust with patience, gentle handling, and lots of positive reinforcement. In your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I make sure your pet feels safe and loved while keeping their surroundings tidy and stress-free. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

“Wonderful sitter! We will use her every time for sure!”

About: Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for over a year now and already have 30 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer, freelance marketer, and conscious marketing coach, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a t. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list help a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!
