About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old, so I’m very experienced with their needs and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every dog like my own. Being a student athlete has taught me responsibility, consistency, and time management. I plan my days carefully, so I always have time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I treat every pet like my own and follow their regular routine with feeding, walks, and playtime. I can also create space for crates in my apartment so pets feel safe and comfortable.
“Wonderful and safe accommodations for my pup, with friendly resident dogs as good company. Kate provides excellent communication to understand her canine client’s needs and keeps the human client informed throughout the day. My dog felt safe, cared for, and trusted his caregivers quickly, and looked forward to his return visits. Kate and Matthew’s teenage children are very caring and in tune with their canine guests, expanding the love and attention the dogs have access to. It is truly a loving dog-oriented home with plenty of safe activities and quiet places to meet my dog’s needs through the day.”
“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.”
About: I grew up around animals of all kinds — dogs, cats, cows, pigs, and more — so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have two spoiled pups of my own, Milly and RJ, and I treat every pet in my care like family. 🐾 I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. We also have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy time outside. In the evenings, we enjoy walks, fetch, or whatever activities your dog loves most. I know how important routines are for pets, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I’m happy to accommodate any specific instructions to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! The dogs get plenty of opportunities throughout the day to go outside, play, explore the fenced-in yard, or relax inside with me while I work. In the evenings, we have more time for outdoor play, walks, fetch, or whatever activities your dog enjoys most. Since I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and supervision. 🐾 I will care for your pet like they’re one of my own! 🐾 I know how important routines and comfort are for animals, so I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. Pets in my home will receive lots of attention, love, supervision, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and pets are welcome to relax inside with me just like family. Treats are always given with owner permission, and I’m happy to accommodate any specific instructions or preferences to help your pet feel comfortable and happy while you’re away.
“I was traveling and needed to someone for my furbaby to stay while we were out and about. I felt very comfortable leaving my furbaby Clyde with Sarah. Nice home with fenced yard and very sweet pooch of her own. Would definitely book again.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. We adopted Frankie in June 2025. He’s very dog friendly. Frankie is about 45 pounds. He is pretty energetic and can play rough so we’d do best with dogs his size or larger that match his energy and play style. We are a pretty active household. We like to spend time in the backyard and go for walks around the neighborhood or on the trails. I typically work from home so your dog won’t be alone for long. We have done a lot of training since getting Frankie. I’ve become very knowledgeable on training and dog behaviors. I am certainly no expert, but you can trust will we care for your fur baby as if they were our own. If there are behaviors or training you are working on, I will be happy to continue that during their stay. Contact me for any additional information! I primarily work from home so I have the flexibility to accommodate most needs. We tend to walk in the morning and evening with a midday potty break and play. You can trust I will follow any and all care instructions you provide for your dog. You know what’s best for them and I understand the importance of that. I will be sure to follow your typical routine so your dog is as comfortable as possible.
About: Hi! I'm Charli, and I've been caring for animals in both a professional and personal capacity for several years. I've worked as a bather, groomer, daycare, and veterinary clinic professional for over 5 years, and have experience with all of the following animals: dogs (all sizes), cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, fish, pigs, lizards, birds, & more! I most enjoy house sitting, dog walking, and daytime care, and I am able to travel to the further parts of the Tallahassee metro area upon request. For overnight animal guest needs, I have a home in the Astoria Park area of Tallahassee with a big fenced back yard and 5 animals of my own (2 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 ferret). All of our animals are great with other pets and love to meet new friends. If needed, we can also set up a room your pet can have all to themselves. Pet care is my everyday priority! My fiancée works full time from home, allowing me to devote my time to giving our pets and others' pets the care and attention they need (and deserve). I take pet care very seriously and am very attuned to animals' body language. As a veterinary worker, I have been trained to handle any situation in a calm and collected manner. Additionally, I like to ensure proper nutrition, adequate play time and potty breaks, and down time/quiet time when pets are feeling overwhelmed.
“Judith is one of the best sitter that i know. She cared for both of my puppies Khloe and Kobe and she provided extraordinary care. Even when Kobe was sick, she took time out of her schedule to sit with me for the duration of his visit. Not only was she a support to Kobe, she assisted me as being a new mom of two puppies. I will definitely be utilizing her service in the future.”
“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 ?”
About: I've cared for furry friends since I could walk. My family raised me in an environment where caring for animals was a form of education, and one I'm happy to share every day. I own a business that operates in a seasonal fashion. This affords me the opportunity to be available where most aren't. Whether that be for day visits and walks, or night time check ins. My home is great for dogs. My old boy loves company. He's very gentle. I have access to walking trails as well. I am happy to accommodate for kennel trained or non-kennel trained.
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 have owned or cared for my own dogs my entire life. Having lost my senior 'Stanley' last year I find myself longing for a dog's company and spirit. My own dogs have lived long lives - two for 18 years, one for 17 so I know how to give meds and care for their special needs. Stanley's petsitter recommended I try Rover - so here I am! I can come to your house, or bring your dog here to my 1/2 acre fenced in yard, with a dog door to the house and lots of time to share with your pet. I am retired and in Tallahassee or the vicinity walking or meeting up with friends. I have lots of free time to share with your pet. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and a dog door to the house. I have a pool. I can come to your house if needed, or care for your dog here.
“Diane was so welcoming and friendly. It was the first I had left my dog, Bijoux, with a stranger but she put me right at ease. Bijoux loved playing with Diane's son. Diane sent me some cute pictures of them playing. I am already looking at booking future dates for Bijoux with Diane.”
About: I have 2 sweet pups of my own and their names are Nala (Corgi mix) and Lois (Jack Russell mix). Dogs make me so happy! I've had extensive experience staying overnight to stay with dogs, walking dogs and hosting guest dogs into my home. I'd love to meet your furry friend! I work as an Uber drive part time so I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am happy to work around what your needs are and I'm generally free on most weekends as well. I have a fenced grass backyard with room for the puppers to roam around. I want to take every opportunity to have your dog feel safe and comfortable with my own dogs. I would never leave the dogs alone if I wasn't confident they would get along. I always love meeting new dogs and learning about their unique personalities!
“Communication was great. At drop-off I truly felt my pup was in great hands. Sent pictures throughout the day to let me know how everything was going. Definitely will be a returning client.”
“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.”
“Ainla was recommended by our vet. Our two year old dog Sonny is a bit anxious when meeting new people/animals so we didn’t know how his first Rover dayboarding would go. Well, we can report that it went very well! Ainla gave us regular updates and went above and beyond. Sonny will definitely go to her again! 5 stars!”

Reymun was great! He was there for us when we had a last minute request and was so quick to communicate. He sent us updates during the day and some cute pictures of peaches spending time outside. We won’t hesistate to reach out to Reymun again or recommend him to others!
David and Korey were fantastic with Peaches! They were able to accommodate us at the last minute and were so responsive throughout. They sent lots of photos and updates during the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt so relieved knowing Peaches was well cared for, safe, and comfortable. We will absolutely be back and would highly recommend them to anyone.

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 Perkins 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.

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.
