“Ainla was amazing! She drove to my workplace and then dropped him off at his puppy kindergarten classes! She sent me pictures of his stay and kept me updated on his activities. Nico had a great time, came back home all ready for a nap. If you are looking for a great sitter, Ainla is the perfect choice! ”
“Diana put all my worries to rest. She took amazing care of my senior dog! Paris came back super relaxed. Diana provided updates and I could tell she was taking good care of my Paris :) Would 100% recommend and will definitely contact her again.”
About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I started training animals at the age of 16, which helped me learn how to understand different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Our home is full of love—we have two sweet doodles who are part of our family, and two children who absolutely adore animals and enjoy helping give them attention and care. Pets in our home are treated like family, with plenty of patience, affection, and playtime. We are kind, loving people who take pet care seriously. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, structured care, or just a safe and happy place while you’re away, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible daily schedule and allows me to be present with pets throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and affection. In my home, pets are treated like family. I don’t believe in isolating animals—pets are welcome on the couch, in the bed, and anywhere they feel comfortable. I believe cuddles, affection, and feeling safe are just as important as food and walks, so your pet will get plenty of love and attention while staying with us. They will be allowed to play in our large fence yard and pool. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I follow instructions exactly as requested. I respect your routines, rules, and preferences so your pet’s care stays consistent and stress-free. Whether that means crate time, specific feeding schedules, or house rules, I make sure everything is done the way you want.
“I took my dog to Stacy for daycare and he had so much fun playing all day with the dogs there. He came home very happy and sleepy. From the videos she sent me during the day, you could tell how much she loved having him there, and how much he loved her as well. When I dropped him off, I saw she had many dogs of her own, including adorable puppies, and a few that she was watching. This is a great place to take your dog if they love socializing. I will be rebooking again and again for daycare and overnights.”
About: I work at FSU (as a 9-month contract faculty), so I'm totally free (full time at home) during the summer. I love dog and I have owned one small dog 'Sadie' since 2013. She is very friendly, enthusiastic and gets along well with other dogs in our neighborhood. Sadie likes walking, so I take her to a walk twice a day in the mornings and in the evenings. I'd like to extend my love to your dog, especially for those who don't have the privilege to take care of their dogs full time. I have a large fenced yard. There is beautiful grass almost everywhere in my neighborhood. I can follow any directions given, and send updates throughout the day if wanted. If you are curious about the dog sitting time lapse in the past three years, that's because we had a baby daughter in the year of 2000. She is now 3 years old and she is a dog lover as well! The other reason is that our dog Sadie was paralyzed and we had to spend a lot time taking care of her. Fortunately she has been recovering very well and now she can walk normally (sometimes with a sling support on her back) as happy as she is always. We have learned how to take good care of a special needs dog. I'm currently on my summer vacation (as a 9-month contract faculty at FSU), so I have plenty of time to play with your pets and take good care of them as I do with my own dog - Sadie. I have a large fenced yard with a large covered patio and a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. With four bedrooms and a large sunroom, I can easily crate your pet or put in a separate (private) room if needed.
“The best dog sitter in Tallahassee!! Highly Recommend!! My wife and I were in Tallahassee for our homecoming weekend and needed a dog sitter. Judith did an outstanding job taking care of our Furbaby! She was very warm and welcoming; and our puppy was excited to return the 2nd day. When we return to town we will only use Judith!”
“Navi seemed comfortable around Ashley and her bf; they are very prompt to respond and sent me updates. Overall a good daycare! Thanks so much for taking care of Navi, he was very pleased and happy ?”

“Dropped dog off, Nice neigh, nice house. Mathew was personable and friendly. I know my dog enjoyed their dogs and kids. Nice report card and pictures. Plan to use again.”
“Byron came to the rescue last minute to watch my two pups—saved our vacation from needing to be cancelled last minute. When we got the dogs back at the end of the day, they were both so tired and happy—perfect day of daycare!! Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
About: I’ve taking care of pets since I was a child, always love to meet new pets and get their personalities. I love walking dogs and playing with cats.

“Absolutely the best experience we could've asked for! I was unintentionally late and she was very understanding. Sent photos through out the day and made shiro feel at home. I would most certainly recommend to everyone.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Family, friends, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure every pet feels safe and happy. I love making sure pets get all the attention, walks, and playtime they need while their owners are away. I dedicate all my time for your pet. My home is pet safe, clean, and comfortable, so your fur baby will feel right at home. I can crate dogs if needed and always provide supervised outdoor time, lots of cuddles, and constant care to make sure every pet feels safe and loved.
“Aylee was absolutely wonderful with Peaches! She accommodated us on very short notice, which we really appreciated, and she was incredibly communicative and friendly throughout the entire stay. We felt confident right away that Peaches was in great hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. We would recommend Aylee to anyone and are already looking forward to bringing Peaches back in the future!”
About: I have been dog sitting for friends and neighbors since the day I got my drivers license! We recently moved to Tallahassee, and after dog sitting for a mutual friend, I realized this is something I really enjoy — and my dog does too! While we’re not in a position to get her a sibling, I know she’d love the company of other dogs. We have a large fenced in back yard and a large crate (to be used only if that is your preference). I’ll brag that my dog is great with other dogs — she senses what they need, and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body. What a great opportunity to know your dog is having as much fun as you are while you’re away! As someone who works from home, I generally let my dog out in the morning before starting work. I can easily let the dog(s) out as often as possible during the day. I can take breaks to play, but generally save any structured activity for after work. In the evenings we love to take walks around the neighborhood or through a local park. With more time on the weekends, we enjoy driving to explore longer walks and greenways. Although I have obligations out of the house, the longest I’m away from home any given day is usually no longer than 4 hours total. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly dog who loves to play, but also understands boundaries. Although we don’t use the crate for our dog anymore, we still have a large crate that can be used if that is your preference. We have a one story house but do have stairs up to the house and into the yard.
About: I have a 10months dog that I love, is my daughter. Her name is Papaya. I have a routine to walk and play with the ball 3 times and sometimes 4 times a day. When my family and friends need help with their pets I’m always the one because they know how much I love animals. And in my parents house I also have 3 cats that I rescued. I live with my husband, he loves animals too, but he works all the day I’m at home all day with papaya. I’m grateful to take care of your pet. I’m all day at home so I can take care of your pet when needed! I can walk, play, feed, sleep with the pet and give them love. Papaya my dog is so friendly, and she loves share all her pets with other dogs, I have food, I have everything the dog needs to be happy. I always go out with the dog leash and take care with people and others pets. I have in my neighborhood a dog park so I let them play inside de dog park.
About: I’ve worked at a veterinary hospital and had dogs all my life! Your pup will have access to a huge fenced in yard on acreage and that’s only if they get tired of being loved on inside. My house is their house. Doggie doors throughout and full supervision while their minds wander and play. Safe loving environment until you re-unite. Happy for pick-ups and drop-offs as requested. I’m a stay at home wife sitting on fenced in acreage, amongst a wildlife sanctuary with 3 vaccinated fur-babies ready to make friends and show them around their playground. Plenty of soft places to lay after a big day of play. Access to water always - Doggie doors throughout and full supervision while in my care. Cuddles guaranteed and ready for extended paw pack members to enjoy this space. 3 friendly dogs who have been socialized all their lives, ready to show your pup around their home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Meridian commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 FL 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 133 sitters in Meridian, 82% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
