“Emily is absolutely wonderful!! She has done overnight stays in my home multiple times over the last year. During the year, I have acquired quite a few more pets then her first time sitting last summer. This visit Emily stayed in my home for two and a half weeks. She got thrown a few curve balls this visit and took them all in stride. First, my travel mates decided to leave a day early, I contacted her and on very short notice she was able to come a day early. Then right before I left, I found 2 abandoned kittens, I knew I wasn't going to be able to get them in anywhere on such short notice, so decided to keep them until I got back and then explore options for placement/adoption. Then one of my pets (a guinea pig) developed an abscess which warranted a trip to the ER vet, medication twice daily and a follow-up with his primary (exotic) vet. When she noticed a change in the guinea pig, she immediately contacted me and she was able to get him treatment. Without her close eye and swift intervention, things may not have turned out so well as a guinea pigs health can be quite fragile. She has been my pet sitter for a year, and during that time she has built bonds and relationships with my pets and knows their personalities, behaviors and preferences. She is able to quickly identify any changes. She is always very professional and communicates daily via texts and frequently sends pictures/videos. She takes great care of my pets and she always leaves my home neat and tidy. It is so nice to come home to happy, healthy pets and a clean house after being away. I can not speak highly enough about her! She is wonderful! I would recommend her for any and all of your pet sitting needs.”
“Kat was amazing! I have two troublesome dogs, and Kat was extremely accommodating of them. She was patient, understanding, and put up with all of their nonsense. She sent pictures, and reassured me that my babies were doing well. I could not have asked for a better sitter!”
“Lillyana is wonderful! My babies love her and she is always willing and able to help out last minute, which is so appreciated!! I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is a repeat sitter for me!”
“I am so grateful to Heidi for staying at our home to watch our pup Simon! She really cared to get to know Simon's personality, and I could see from all the pictures she shared that Simon had a great time hanging out with her while we were away. Heidi was very professional and noted all of our care instructions. She was responsive and sent daily updates. And, she left our home spotless. I cannot recommend Heidi enough! Thank you, Heidi!”
“Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!”
“Natianna was great. She met with me a few days before to ensure everything was a good fit. When I needed to change my time request she was very flexible. My doggo was happy and well loved when I returned. Will be booking her again.”
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.
“Charli just house-sat for me for the first time and did an awesome job. My 4 dogs and cat loved her and were obviously well cared for. Charli dropped by before my trip to meet the pets and she was obviously happy to meet them and took in all the instructions despite have a bit of a crazy household at the time. Charli communicated consistently and sent plenty of pictures while sitting and left the house in perfect order. I hope Charli is an available when I need someone to take care of my pets, and would recommend her to anyone else.”
“Maze says five paws up! 🐾😹 He got to stay in his own kitty cave (a.k.a. our aparment) while being spoiled and cared for by the sweetest sitter ever. I got the cutest updates and could tell he was totally living his best life. It’s such a comfort knowing he was so well cared for and relaxed while I was away — we’ll definitely be booking Paige again! ⭐️😻”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-looked after. I have experience house sitting, cleaning up the home before owners return, and sticking to daily routines. After work I would head straight over to let the dogs out, keep them company, and make sure they got plenty of attention. On weekends I enjoyed taking them on long walks around the neighborhood. I’ve also cared for three dogs and two cats at the same time, including baths when needed. On top of that, I’ve raised a rescue kitten from just one week old—bottle feeding every two hours, teaching him to walk, use the litter box, and transition to solid food—so I’m very comfortable with pets who need extra patience or special care. Since I have a flexible work schedule, I am able to plan my days around pet care. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, check-ins, or overnight care. I keep pets safe by following your routines closely and maintaining a clean, calm environment. I’m careful with doors, crates, feeding schedules, and any instructions you leave for me.
About: In my childhood I had many cats and I have now had a dog for almost 8 years! I started dog sitting about 3 years ago for my neighbors and I really enjoy it. I have taken care of their dogs while they were on vacation and have also dropped in while they were working. I have been around pets my whole life and I love them! I love going on walks and playing with them and am very passionate about animal care. I currently work part time at a bakery but my schedule is pretty flexible around that. I do school mostly online so work is the only time I wouldn’t be with the pet! I never work in afternoons, only in the mornings. Contact me and I can work a shcedule out for you! I am very diligent about following instructions for your pet and I am respectful of both your space and the pet! I am also very diligent about safety and will do my best to keep an eye on your pet the whole time. I will clean any messes that may be made and check locks before leaving every time. I always make it a habit to check for food, water, any potential messes, and locks every visit.
“Jillian was great after a last-minute change of plans when we needed her to come so soon to stay the weekend with our pup. She was very responsive and always sent us check-in photos which is the ultimate peace of mind!”
“I would recommend Andrew to anyone and have no reservations booking him again. My two adult pitbulls adore Andrew. I'm borderline concerned that they like him more than me. Andrew was in contact with me everyday I was away. He sent videos and photos as well as exact times when they started and ended walks. Additionally Andrew asked permission before doing things. Despite being a fairly relaxed person with people using the amenities, I truly appreciated Andrew asking for my consent prior to using them. Definitely give Andrew a call and see if he's available to watch your fur babies. I'm glad I did.”
“Samara was amazing with Maple! Very friendly, attentive, responsible and loving to her. Kept me up-to-date while at work and took very good care of Maple. You can count on Samara to take good care of your pup/dog.”
About: Although my profile is new to Rover, I am well versed in the experience for years. My mother has been a Rover sitter since I was a child and I have much experience with her going to help at clients houses. I have experience with dogs of all ages from birth to end of life, as well as cats. I am an avid animal lover and owner of exotic pets as well. I grew up on a homestead and have experience with many types of pets including livestock! Dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, birds, insects and invertebrates, I have experience with them all. I grew up with 10 dogs! My schedule is very open. I am currently post bachelors taking a break from school, as well as pursuing my degrees in Art and Anthropology. I have flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs, and I love to have detailed communication to make sure that we are always on the same page. As a sitter I am prepared to follow your pet's schedule and specific needs to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. I would want to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure I have a clear grasp on their schedule and needs and follow them precisely. I am very detailed when it comes to directions for my own pets so I am prepared to give your babies the same care I want for mine. I have so much in depth experience with dogs growing up on a homestead, and many of those experiences involved emergencies. I know what signs to look for to make sure your dog is safe and healthy, and will always err on the side of complete caution. I have a strong respect for safety and health and want your dog to not only be taken care of but observed in depth to make sure they are getting everything they need from me. I hope to leave every client better connected with their dogs.
About: I Grew up in a small zoo with 4 dogs, 2 cats, 6 chickens, and a lizard. My personal babies, peanut (14 y/o chihuahua) and Sophie Cat (4 year old Siberian) are my pride and joy. Currently in school and living on north side Tallahassee, usually on the move but super flexible with moving things around! Getting things done is never a problem for me and I love seeing pets thrive I know that every animal is unique and accustomed to a different lifestyle and I do my best to replicate exactly what their version of normal is, whether that’s frequent walks or quality time together

Our family had a last minute trip, and Karsen was sweet enough to take care of our 2 older dogs and cat last minute. She was so communicative and made sure our girls were well taken care of and happy while we were gone and even checked on them multiple times a day to make sure they had extra time outside since they’re older and can’t hold it for too long over night. We’re so grateful!
Raina was awesome! 10/10!! The pets were well taken care of and loved her, I know, because they all slept in the bed with her, and they only do that when comfortable. She also left the house clean and was a great communicator. I would highly recommend Raina for pet sitting, and we will book her again!
Finding Fel was the best move we have everf had in having our boys taken care of while away. She has a super personality and is dedicated to her job. Fel treated our dogs and our home as if they were her own. She will always be our "go to" whenever we travel. If you are in need for a dog sitter, either for visits daily or to stay in your home, Fel should always be your first choice.
Ahsari was absolutely phenomenal with our three pets! Our two small dogs are usually a little shy but fell in love with her instantly. She provided daily updates and went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of. We came home to additional notes about how they did, cleaned dog dishes, and very happy pets. She even went to the store to get more cat food just in case it was needed, and even grabbed some new toys for the dogs!! We would 100% recommend her and will be reaching out again in the future!!
We recently moved to the area and were looking for someone trustworthy to watch our dog—I'm so glad we found Lillie! She was available to meet beforehand, which really helped ease our minds. Our dog can be a little nervous around new people in his home, but Lillie handled him with ease. Throughout the stay, she did a fantastic job. Her communication was great, and she sent plenty of photos and updates that showed our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in her hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
