“Julia was the best choice I could’ve made for my cats! She took great care of them and sent tons of photos and videos. I had so much peace of mind knowing they were being cared for by her. She was also very accommodating to my schedule and a great communicator. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone considering placing their pets in her care. Thank you, Julia!”
“Lillyana was very responsive to us while we were away and always gave a thorough report of how our cats were eating and behaving. Our very timid cat only took a few days to get comfortable around her and she gave them a lot of playful attention and care. She is also super organized with her clients’ keys. We would definitely book her again in the future!”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Anna and I am currently getting my masters at Boston University. My 3 dogs are back home in FL, so I have decided to become a rover walker to get my puppy fix! I have 2 large and high energy dogs, but experience working with all breeds. I promise your dog will get lots of love and you will get lots of pictures if you book with me! As a graduate student, majority of my classes take place at night. I am left with plenty of time during the day to tend to dogs needs. When caring for a dog in your home I will be sure to meet all of their needs and provide you with updates and information.
“Kylie was super flexible and communicative. I felt confident knowing my cat was in safe hands. I will definitely rebook next time we go out of town. Thank you so much for your kindness, Kylie!”
About: Hi! My name is Olyvia and I’m currently a senior at FSU and a huge animal lover. I currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive when you need someone to look after your pet. I’ve been pet sitting for dogs and cats since I was a freshman in high school. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets for neighbors and family friends, working with animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and personalities. This experience has taught me how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving and reliable hands! I am currently a full time student with classes on MWF from 12-12:50 and TTH 9:30-1. I am available for visits before and after classes. I am also available on the weekend with notice. I am a sucker for football games so the weekends can vary. I am not available to care for pets in my own home, but I am free and happy to take care of them at their home! I am happy to walk, play, or just chill with your pets. I understand trust is a major factor for most pets and I am comfortable with coming to met you and your pets prior to my scheduled care to ensure guidelines and responsibilities are set and met.
About: I am a lover of all sorts of animals big or small. I know how lonely they can get and want to be the person they get excited to see! I have a part time job with mixed hours, but there’s always time to play with the fur babies. Shoot me a message and we can plan a date! I am always respectful of your space, I understand how it feels to have a home you enjoy coming back to and being able to see your pets happy!
“Lacy always gives prompt and kind care to our cat Razz, and this time he seemed to be very calm when we returned. It is great to hear that he greeted you at the door and he seemed very pleased and calm when we returned home. Thank you, Lacy!”
“Very sweet and caring with my babies Allie and Loki. She took lots of good pictures while we were gone and gave one of my cats meds to! Highly recommend her and trust her with any future visits. :)”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I have 8 years of experience caring for my own cats and fostering cats, along with 2 years of experience working as a veterinary technician. This has given me hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including those who need a little extra patience and attention. As an aspiring veterinarian, I'm passionate about animal health, safety, and well-being. My veterinary background has helped me recognize when something may be wrong, administer care and medications responsibly, and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away! I care for my cats every day. They get fed, have all day access water, and their litter boxes get scooped twice per day. I have many cat toys and cat beds. There is also space for a small dog to run around and play. I have extra bowls and beds and blankets for them to sleep on as well. I can house your cat or small dog in a separate room from the rest of the house and can even crate them in a comfortable extra large dog crate if needed. I have a large fenced in backyard, but I am more than happy to put your little friend on a leash and walk around the yard or the quiet neighborhood.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, from playful puppies to calm senior dogs, and I truly see them as family. I build strong, trusting connections with each dog and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I’m attentive to their routines, energy levels, and personalities, and I communicate clearly with owners so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine. I make sure they get attention, playtime, and love, keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable every day. I will care for pets in your home by following their routines closely such as feeding, walking, and playing as needed. I’ll give them plenty of attention, affection, and comfort, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I also keep you updated with messages or photos so you know your pet is well cared for at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety pets for myself and others since I was 8 years old. I have taken care of rabbits, fish, birds, hamsters, cats, and dogs; with a specialty in cat and dog care. I’m currently a student at FSU just trying to enjoy any of my free time playing with puppies or caring for cats! Pet care is like a second nature to me and I look forward to helping out! I enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing with their toys or providing enrichment playtime with cats who enjoy playtime or who need a little bit extra attention!
About: I’ve owned pets my entire life, mainly dogs. I have owned a variety of breeds but mainly chihuahuas, and now care for my German Shepherd and two cats daily. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, training basics, and reading pet body language to keep animals safe and comfortable. I’ve pet-sat for neighbors, including caring for a diabetic dog requiring insulin injections and a special diet. I’m confident administering medication, following routines precisely, and monitoring health needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Your animal’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. I update my availability based on my class schedule. I’m looking to use my extra time doing something I enjoy like caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure while you’re away. In your home, I want to know feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, preferred walking routes, and any house rules you have in place. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior that might signal stress or discomfort. I keep a calm, clean environment and ensure pets have fresh water and attention tailored to their energy level. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident trusting me with your pets and for them to feel safe, loved, and respected in my care.
“Aaliyah is the best cat sitter I could have asked for. She accepted my last minute request to watch my 2 cats over the weekend with no hesitation and was very communicative with me. One of my cats is very timid so he was hiding a lot and not wanting to eat but she communicated that with me and tried everything to get him to come out and eat and it eventually worked! I believe he wasn't very fond of having a stranger in his home but Aaliyah did not complain once and was still very nice to him which shows how well she works with animals. Besides that she did everything I asked for and was very pleasant to work with. Will definitely have to rebook with her!”
About: I understand that pets need a little love aside from the maintenance duties that are required! I can feed, water, and make sure your sons, daughters , and babies are well looked after! I work at Amazon during the day. And attend school in the area as well! I have breaks through out my week where I am bored. I love my dog! I would expect you show her the utmost respect and I will return the gesture with gratitude for your loved one.
“Ava was absolutely amazing 🤩 we use pretty litter and it changed an abnormal color while we were away! Ava let us know right away and luckily it was an isolated incident! She was so attentive and loving 🥰 I would hire her again in a heartbeat”
“Andrew cared for my 2 cats over the holidays. He was punctual and communicative, asking any questions about unclear instructions that I left to ensure my cats were properly cared for. He went on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as requested without issue and spent time with my fur babies, and sent photos every day to keep me reassured. I will be contacting him again to continue watching my little boys! Highly recommend!”
“Anne was great, played the ball for 30 minutes or so with Moon pie! Her favorite thing to do! I was so grateful that she could come at the last minute notice as well communicated very well and when I got home, moon pie was very happy!🥰🐾”
“Having my cats stay with Christy was the easiest part of my weekend trip. She was very easy to talk to about setting up the drop off and pick up times. She sent lots of photos and seemed to genuinely love having my cats as her house guests. I think they were almost as comfortable at her house as if I wasn’t taking a trip and was home with them myself. So happy to find her. I will definitely be calling her again on our next trip.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tallahassee
Iomar did a fabulous job taking care of my mom's cat. Bubbles was shy at first but Iomar was patient each visit and by the 3rd day, she was Bubbles new best friend. She kept us well updated after each visit including pictures and sometimes videos. We highly recommend her if you need a cat sitter!
Julia stepped up last minute to take care of my cat while he was sick. She did an amazing job monitoring his symptoms, giving him his medication, and keeping me extremely well-informed with thorough updates. Her communication greatly relieved my anxiety while I was away, especially since he wasn’t feeling well. I’m incredibly grateful for how attentive and caring she was. Thank you, Julia!
Loved her service. She was always on time and played with Hazel (my bunny) when she showed for the drop in visits. Followed instructions well and completed what was asked of her. I really appreciated the pictures and journal cards I received for every visit, especially since it was my first time leaving Hazel alone with a sitter.
I hesitate to review Mason because I’m worried she will become so popular that I won’t be able to book her in the future. She is a great communicator and very dependable. I know that my cats will be just as loved and cared for when she visits as if I were home to do so myself! Mason also takes the best pictures (like straight up glamour shots) to send - clearly my cats love her too. I can’t say enough good things about her.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Tallahassee is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
