“This was our second time booking with Aaliyah. She is great! Our pup had some anxiety after a couple of recent vet emergency stays and she just rolled with it. He was so so happy and energized when we got home which he usually isn’t. He can be a ball of nerves after someone else stays with him. We are so so grateful to have someone we can count on to give us peace of mind when we’re gone. Love her!!”
“Andrew is great! He really cared about our dog and frequently updated us on how the dog was doing. He also left the house spotless. We will definitely hire him again.”
“Shelby did a great job looking after our dog, Atticus . She sent frequent messages and pictures about how he was doing , ( which we loved) and responded promptly if we contacted her . Atticus is very scared of storms and it was stormy while we were gone . Shelby was calm, patient and helpful about helping him feel as comfortable as possible during these times . When we arrived home Atticus was happy and the house looked great , We will definitely use Shelby again , she was wonderful.”
“Lillyana was so great with my dogs! She was willing to help at late notice for an unplanned trip I had to take. She was very attentive, communicated well, and assured me that my dogs were well taken care of. I would definitely book again in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m DeAndre—a professional, dependable dog walker and sitter serving Tallahassee. I specialize in providing structured, attentive care for pet owners who value consistency, communication, and peace of mind. I maintain a full-time professional schedule (8–5), which allows me to focus on high-quality early morning, evening, and weekend care—ideal for busy professionals who need reliable support outside standard hours. I was a dedicated dog owner for many years. My dog Dutchess was with me from 2011 until she passed in October 2023. She was exceptionally patient, kind, and loving. While I’m not ready to own another dog just yet, caring for other pets genuinely fulfills that same sense of purpose and connection. I trained Dutchess from 6 months old, giving me a strong foundation in consistency, behavior awareness, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable reinforcing routines and helping dogs build good habits in a calm, structured environment. What’s my schedule like: • Professional, punctual, and highly reliable • Clear, consistent communication with photo updates • Calm, patient approach tailored to each dog’s personality • Focus on safety, structure, and trust Services: • Dog walking (morning & evening availability) • Drop-in visits (feeding, enrichment, check-ins) • Weekend and overnight sitting My goal is simple: to provide a safe, dependable experience for your pet—and complete peace of mind for you. I’d be glad to connect and care for your dog as if they were my own. I care for pets with a balance of structure, patience, and genuine attention. I make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable by sticking to their routine, following instructions closely, and paying attention to their individual personality and needs. I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and creating a calm environment so pets can relax and be themselves. I’m also very observant—I pay attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might need attention. Whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, giving them affection, or simply being present, I treat every pet with the same level of care and respect as if they were my own. My goal is always to make both the pet and the owner feel at ease.
“Morgan is amazing! We’ve used her a few times and she always takes the best care of our two pups! Cannot thank her enough. We’ll definitely be contacting her again!”
“Lacy and Tally took wonderful care of our fur babies for a long stay over Christmas and NYE! They sent regular updates and photos that made us feel like the babies were getting lots of snuggles and being well taken care of. It was great to have that peace of mind over such a long trip. And the house was in great condition when we got back. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lacy and Tally or to book them again.”
“Caroline was absolutely wonderful! She saved the day, booking on short notice, and took wonderful care of my babies. I received thoughtful updates and funny pictures that assured me they were all having a wonderful time. Benny and Arlo look forward to having her back!”
About: Everyone who knows me knows I am a dog lover, therefore I have been responsible for taking care of many dogs in my community! I love to take my dogs to trails for lots of exercise! My personal dog is a rescue with a strong hunting instinct; therefore, I have experience with strong dogs who are tough to walk. I am a college student with classes in the morning. My schedule varies day to day, but my love for dogs will make me help out whenever I can! Dogs in my care will get plenty of exercise and love. At home, me and my dog stay very active. I miss her very much while in college and would love to further the fun with dogs here!
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I've been dog sitting for over a year and had my own dogs for more than 7 years. Caring for animals genuinely makes me happy, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I don't see Rover as just a job, it's more like a hobby that I really enjoy. Since I can't have a dog of my own right now, caring for other people's dogs allows me to enjoy their company and give them lots of love and attention I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy multiple walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of companionship. I live in a spacious home with a large backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. Since I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, pets receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I always follow each pet's routine and owner's instructions carefully to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care ❤️🐶
About: I've been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was 11. Doing in house care, dropping by to walk dogs, and experience giving any medicine needed. I'm still looking for a full-time job so I have plenty of time to take care of any pet. I also have my own car which let's me be there when I'm needed. I have 4 cats, including one that only has 3 legs. I clean up after them and make sure they are fed 3 times a day. Playing and cuddling is always a must, especially with 2 of them still being kittens.
“Alex is wonderful with our beagles Wendy and Calvin! Our 4 year old, Calvin, has always been standoffish with dog sitters, but he was snuggly and playful with Alex! We know our pups and house are well cared for and loved in our absence!”
About: I am observant and attentive to animal needs. I’ve worked as a barn hand for 40 horses, volunteered with wildlife rescue, and completed pet & equine first aid training. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra patience, I’ll provide reliable, loving care and plenty of attention. I’ve recently relocated to Tallahassee from Oregon. I plan to attend school part-time in the fall 2026. I’m not seeking other employment at this time. My willingness & availability are open and my car is dependable! I’m willing to check in on your pet or stay the night. Either way I can be trusted to treat your home respectfully and follow routine care for your pet.
About: I trained canine assistance dogs for 9 months and have over 25 years of experience. I’m very good with all types and personalities when it comes to our furry companions Working on switching my career path right now since there is a shift to corporate medicine in animal hospitals and as support staff I lost the feeling of being supported, or properly compensated myself. I recently started watching my neice from 6-4 Monday through Friday. Sometimes I will do delivery driving at night, but only if that is ok with you! I also have my medical marijuana card. Despite that review that says I agreed not to, I have never negotiated this. I’m an anxious, insomniac with cyclical vomiting syndrome. Some days I would not be ok without it🥺 I apologize if that does not work for anybody, but one must take care of themselves before they can care for others. This actually isn’t lucrative enough with my schedule. I ONLY do this because animals are my passion!!! Feel free to ask me any questions at all! I really am an open book! I have a 3/3 townhouse set up with lots of room for walks. Unfortunately there is no fence, but it is a very pet friendly environment.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Thank you ! I’m currently working part time, so I will be able to walk your dog with much care in mind. I am available Mon-fri in the afternoon- evening I have walked dogs for a long time and able to give your dog the correct care they need to be walked carefully and safely.
“We absolutely loved Carolina! She was communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and took wonderful care of our two cats and our home. She even went above and beyond by taking care of the litter boxes, even though we told her she didn’t need to. She’s incredibly trustworthy, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
About: My background as a Pre-Vet student with 400+ hours of volunteer experience in shelters and therapeutic programs helps me daily in this field . I'm calm and confident with all temperaments—skilled in easing anxious pets, entertaining energetic pups, and providing gentle care for animals of all . Animal care is my passion, and I display that dedicated, high-level attention to every pet I sit. As a college student, my schedule includes flexible breaks between classes and labs, making it easy to fit in regular drop ins, walks, and playtime. Evenings and weekends are more likely to be open for extended care and house sitting. When caring for pets in your home, safety and respect are my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, and house rules while keeping your space clean and secure, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! I started watching/walking my neighbors and family dogs when I was 10! In high school I started volunteering for my local shelter and grew a passion for it that I started volunteering at the shelter away at college as well. I love advocating for all types of animals and really enjoy their company! I have experience with a variety of breeds ,sizes, and ages for dogs and am also a a cat lover! I have a very flexible and open schedule, which allows me to be available for regular drop-ins, walks, feeding, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and lots of love while making sure they stay comfortable in their normal routine. I have experience caring for both a younger dog and an older cat, so I understand the different needs, energy levels, and care that pets of all ages require.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ochlockonee walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ochlockonee maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ochlockonee choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
