“Julia was excellent. I was very nervous about leaving my kitten overnight but Julia was great! She kept me posted about when she arrived & was leaving with updates & pictures. Very pleasant & quick to respond to messages. I will be using Julia again.”
“Katherine did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She came yesterday, spent quality time with him, and put a lot of effort into making sure he was fed properly. She was patient, caring, and attentive to his needs. I really appreciate the time and dedication she showed, and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Katherine went above and beyond compared to the other sitters we have had (especially bc our girl can be extra needy socially). We came home to a very happy cat who was doing extra zoomies so it made me happy to see her still thriving after our vacay. I definitely recommend Katherine and will probably book her again soon if she’s available!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets. My parents also used to be breeders. I’ve watched pets. I have a bunch of pets. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve been around pets. I’ve changed pets specifically I’ve had between one dog to six at a time. I’m very used to cats and dogs. Pet care I do it every single day when I get home from school like washing our dogs weekly, feeding them and doing just things on a weekly monthly or daily scheduled based on each of our pets needs and what animal it is. Like if it is our cats, dogs, or our turtle I treat all animals with care as if they’re like children. I think it’s very important to treat animals with care or like they’re another human because they cannot communicate and I believe showing trust in an animal is extremely important. I will always have treats on me just in case All of the pets in my home experience constant love and they’re always around people and very social.
About: I have had numerous pets throughout my life and currently have 2 cats. I love animals and frankly have all the time in the world right now during summer to come help you with your pets. I am a full time student at FSU and am currently home for the summer. I can absolutely fit pet care into my daily routine as I am not enrolled in any summer classes. I can pass a background check if needed, (never committed a crime), and can do practically anything you need for your animals, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, or just spending time with them.
“Alexandra is very kind and professional. She's perfect for our cat, which unfortunately wasn't always the case with other pet sitters. We've hired her three times already. She handles our cat wonderfully and makes adorable videos while talking to him. We highly recommend Alexandra!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and let’s just say they’ve all been a whole package! From our permanent ones to foster ones, old and young, breeds all over the board, they all shared the love you can only find in a dogs heart. From training puppies to teaching old dogs new tricks, spending time with such gentle souls brings a happiness I can no longer live without. They go the whole mile for us, so it’s only right we do the same for them! I’m currently in school and working part time, but still finding so much time in my days and what better way to fill it than with making new pet friends! I’ve got a short schedule with lots of extra and flexible time on my hands. Although I get a head start in making your pets comfortable within their own home, I always approach gently and only strict when needed. I’ve handled many differently tempered dogs and have gotten good at keeping a situation under control and keeping everyone involved safe is extremely important to me.
“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: I have been caring for cats and dogs since I was around 12 years old and have always loved being around animals. I am currently 19 years old and a freshman at Florida State Univeristy. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I have a Siamese cat named George, who I absolutely adore, and caring for him has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail. Over the years, I have helped care for pets of friends, family members, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, reliable, and caring experience for both pets and their owners. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a familiar and comforting presence around, I am committed to making them feel happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I’m a student at Florida State University, and my classes are typically from about 9–11 a.m., so I’m free most of the day. I’m usually available early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and nights for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company. My schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around your pet’s normal routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially in your own home. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely and pay attention to the little things like doors and gates, and each pet’s individual personality. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I’m always happy to send photos and updates while you’re away!
About: My experience with animals goes beyond caring for my personal household pets for 13 years and my volunteering with shelters/rescues for 3 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I take the time to pay attention to those individual differences rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, social, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel secure and comfortable in your absence. Your pet’s safety, routine, and wellbeing are always my priority. I’m available Monday through Friday, as well as weekends, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. My schedule is flexible allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care and accommodate different pet routines and needs. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine and provide the specific care they’re booked for, while also paying attention to the little things that make them feel loved and at ease.
“Caroline came in clutch last minute and took great care of my baby. She made sure he was settled in before she left and came at the perfect time for his night-time potty break.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs within a large variety since I was 10. From my own German Shepard mix to my closest friend’s terrier, I’ve catered to dogs small and medium sized with care and lots of fun! I am currently a full time college student with a part time job but my schedule is flexible. I can squeeze in appointments during the week but weekends are mostly free. I take cautious note of any allergy or routine concerns I am given from the owner about the animal. I live in an apartment which is very pet friendly and cleanly.
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.
“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: I’ve had and been around many dogs through my childhood, including puppies we cared for. Each dog has a different personality that I look forward to meeting every time. I would like another job to help pay bills and possibly switch over to full time. I work during the day but can stop by in the morning and afternoons. Just before bed is possible as well, but I put in 2 visits per day I respect peoples privacy and personal belongings. My goal is to take care of your pet for however long they need and get out, no loitering.
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
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong experience with animals and my genuine love for caring for them. I currently have two cats of my own, and I’ve grown up in a home with both cats and dogs since I was a child, so being around pets and understanding their needs has always been a natural part of my life. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including kittens, puppies, and senior animals. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering oral medications, and following detailed care instructions closely to make sure each pet stays happy and comfortable while their owner is away. For dogs, I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping them on a consistent routine. For cats, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and low-stress environment while respecting their boundaries and personality. I always adjust my care based on each pet’s individual needs and energy level. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to providing regular updates with photos and messages so pet parents can feel at ease. My goal is always to treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day, and I plan my classes and responsibilities so I can consistently prioritize pet visits. I’m reliable about showing up on time and making sure pets get care without rushing. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow all instructions exactly as given. I make sure doors are secured, food and water are properly handled, and litter boxes are cleaned thoroughly. I keep everything calm and consistent so pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also make sure the home is left clean and as I found it.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tallahassee
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.
ryleigh is amazing. she is a cat whisperer both of mine loved her even the shy one! she sent me amazing pictures everyday which i looked forward to opening and was super communicative and punctual about her visits. she made me feel so relieved during my trip being away from my cats would definitely book with her again!
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.

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.

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 .
