“We love having Stacey stop by to let the boys out and play! She’s very dependable and caring. She also sent us some amazing pictures of the pups that captured the happiness they had playing with her in the backyard.”



“Melanie is great! She took good care of our cat and communicated well with detailed daily updates. I will definitely be booking her again next time we need a cat sitter.”


“This was our first time having Natianna take care of our babies. The kitties took to her right away. She did a great job feeding and cleaning up after them. Her communication was very helpful, and I loved the photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible pet sitter. Ty!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently live in a separate suite on my father’s property. While I don’t have any pets of my own I am an active part of daily care for the family pets and always have been, so this responsibility is not new or burdensome to me. Additionally, my home arrangement affords me the opportunity to give your pet friend undivided care and attention. As a full time student, I have ample time to spend with your pet! Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, or lounging around. All activities fit perfectly into my daily routine. I love being outside, so pets in my care get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and playtime! Whether I’m watching your pet at your home or mine, I always keep things calm, safe, and fun. I closely follow their normal routine and give them the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I have my own separate living quarters, which allows for separation from other animals on the property. However, due to my unique living situation, I still have access to other animals for socialization or companionship if that’s something your pet enjoys.

“Theo is the best sitter we could have hoped for. He was punctual, attentive, and followed instructions to the letter. We were not worried our entire trip away from home and that's all thanks to Theo.”


“We could tell that our fur-children were comfortable with Andrew by the way they greeted us when we came home. We really appreciated the detailed daily reports and pictures. Thank you Andrew for taking such great care of our cats!!”


About: I have been around animals my whole life, dating back to my parents’ cats they had before I was born. One of my favorite childhood memories is the day we got our family dog Jaybo when I was in first grade and a great memory of my adulthood is when I got my dog Finn in 2018. In my friend group, I have become someone who friends look to for help with taking care of their pets. I love all dogs and will treat yours as if it is my own pet if you entrust them into my care, be it for walks or drop-in visits. I’m currently working a few different part-time jobs which have flexible schedules so I can meet pretty much whatever visitation demands you would like for your dog and would be happy to give them the love, attention and exercise they need while you’re away. I have a small back patio with some grass and would be sure they are well-exercised with walks around my neighborhood. At home, I have a seven-year hound/shepherd mix named Finn who is friendly with all dogs and would love to play with your dog if they are open to that but is also great at reading energies of other dogs and will give space if that’s what your dog prefers.

“Haley did an excellent job. Communication was great. She was very attentive with the dogs and seemed like she truly loved them. I would definitely use her again and would suggest her to family and friends.”


“We loved meeting and using Jill! We did a meet up before she did a drop in visit so she could see us/dogs personality which I appreciated. She is on time, sweet and extremely quick and thorough in communications before and during your session. Made us feel so comfortable going out of town for the day. Would highly recommend and use again. Thank you Jill!”


“I booked Emily last minute in a panic after a sitter did not show up and she did amazing! My little Kensee is elderly and comes with long instructions and she took it all in stride! I can tell Kensee took well to her, even though she was a last minute stranger. She was so responsive and responsible. Thank you so much Emily!!”


“We had Summer check on our 3 cats while we were out of town. She sent pictures & updates during both her visits. During our meet & greetshe was very polite & professional. We will use her again in the future.”


About: I have had dogs in my household since I was born, and I have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I have had two Golden Retrievers and a rescue from the animal shelter. I also have had guinea pigs and taken care of them for around 10 years. I have watched our neighbor's and my grandfather's dogs on multiple occasions. I am currently on summer break from my academic studies at Florida State University in Biomedical Engineering. I have quite a lot of traveling planned this summer and am looking for a flexible and enjoyable job to fill in my free time. I am quite familiar with dogs of all kinds. If anything would be required during a pet-sitting, I most likely have it in my place of residence (Crate, Treats, Leashes, Toys, etc.).

About: Hi, I’m Mikaela! I’m 26 years old. I have recently become a US Navy Veteran and a full time college student. I have always grown up with at least 4 animals in the house at once, so if you are worried if I can handle more than one animal at a time or not, think again! I am comfortable with all dogs, every shape and size- cats too! I am not timid around new pups and they tend to sense that and become very comfortable with me very quickly. Please don’t hesitate to request me, I’d love to help care for your pets! I am a full time college student with most of my classes being online. I currently live in a house with my husband. I have a fenced yard with plenty of play space for dogs. I am also very active and live in a neighborhood with sidewalks that we use to walk our dogs. I have a fenced yard with lots of space to run and play! I have two adult spayed female dogs that love meeting new friends. I also have the space to keep them separate if need be.

“Taylor was responsible for a lot while we were gone for an extended time. She did an awesome job and extra things that I was extremely appreciative of. I would trust her with again with the responsibilities of my home and animals. Hire her. She's great! Thanks Taylor!”


About: Just recently reactivated my profile now that I'm settled in Tallahassee. I am open for new clients in the Tallahassee are for dog walks or drop-in visits! I have a flexible schedule, comfortable shoes, and would love to take your dog out for a walk as needed. Let me know of any questions! I have dogs of my own so I'm definitely familiar with their need (and enjoyment) of going on walks. Mine go for short walks but I can do short or long with your pup! I do not host dogs at this time, but I can go to the clients address to walk dogs in their neighborhood, wherever the client recommends.

About: What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I’ve spent years working closely with animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. 🧒🐶 For nearly a decade, I ran the summer camp at my local Humane Society, caring for animals daily and teaching kids how to do the same. 🐕🦺 I’ve raised dogs my whole life and once cared for seven huskies—from newborn pups to seniors. 😺 I have plenty of experience with cats, including shy ones, playful ones, and those who need extra patience. What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience, dependability, and a calm, respectful approach to each pet’s personality. Whether it’s drop-ins or keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care. I also go on lots of walks, so your pup will get plenty of fresh air and exercise! 🐕🦺🌳 When I care for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, routine, and safety. 🏡 I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medication, or favorite spots for walks or naps. I make sure doors, gates, and anything hazardous are secure, and I take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. 🐾

“By far the best experience I’ve had with any dog sitting, walker, or drop ins. I’ve used Rover quite a bit over the years and they have all been positive, but this one was on another level. Would rebook in a heartbeat!!! Thank you!”


About: I cared for my dog that had cancer for two years before the end of her life. I provided lots of medical care and lots of love. I would be happy to care for your dog in sickness or health. I’m currently taking some time off from work to do things I love. This includes walking dogs. I’m very flexible and excited to help get your dog outside when you are busy. I currently do not have any pets. I have a fenced in large back yard that does include a pool. I would not let your dog be outside unsupervised but can also offer the ability for your dog to swim safely, if you desire. My dog was an integral part of our family and when I care for dogs I treat them the same way. I will provide attentive care and lots of play time for your doggie.

Michelle W.
“Michelle is an absolute dream of a petsitter! She’s put up with our not-really-trained Golden a few times now and is always super gracious and accommodating. She goes out of her way to make sure Harley has a good time and enjoys herself. After working with us a few times at her house, she even got Harley comfortable in her pool. Now Harley loves being watched by “aunt Michelle.” She sends regular updates so we know how our dog is doing and puts us at ease when we are missing her. I can’t recommend Michelle enough! She will love your fur baby like her own.”
