“Melanie is great! She took good care of our cat and communicated well with detailed daily updates. I will definitely be booking her again next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Madeline did an outstanding job checking on my 25 lb wire haired terrier, Dahlia. She verified instructions beforehand, filmed her entering the apartment and meeting Dahlia, shared lots of pics with me, and messaged me details about the visit. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I am a vet tech with 10 years of experience in the field. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I pet sit for friends and family and am happy to share my services with those in need. I love dogs and cats to my core. I work full time at a specialty vet clinic in town. I have Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off to spend time socializing with your pets. From 7-8:30 am on a typical work day will be spent getting pets ready for the day. Feeding breakfast, morning meditations if needed, play time in the fenced yard. Then from 12-1 will be when they are let out again during my lunch break. From 3-7 someone that lives in the house is home to check on the needs of the pets in the house. After 7 I will be home for dinner time, play time, and getting ready for bed. I have a spare bedroom dedicated for boarding pets. I have a play pen, and dog crates if needed. I have a fenced in yard. All my furniture in my house is pet friendly. I have dogs and cats that live in my home and are friendly with other dogs and cats. Also a meet and greet beforehand is always a good idea.
“Mimi was the best choice for our fur babies. They immediately fell in love with her and she treated them as her own. I would 100% recommend her for any cat sitting inquiries. She always kept us posted with how they were doing and sent us loads of super cute photos of them. The cats were very happy to be under her care. Thank you so much!!!”
“Savannah did such an amazing job taking care of our sweet Rocco! He is a big boy with some medical issues and she catered to him and made sure he got his meds! Would definitely use her again and recommend others to her!”
“Lillyana did a great job of feeding, changing the litter, and playing with our two cats while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. We will definitely trust her to watch them again in the future!”
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 had a Jack Russel Terrier as a kid up until I was 15 years old. I haven’t had a dog since and I have never had cats but rest assured I know how to care for both! My dog died in 2018 and shortly after in 2019 I ended up getting 2 hamsters, and shortly after my animal list grew! I have 3 degus, 2 hamsters, 1 crested gecko, 1 halmahera giant gecko, 2 gerbils and 4 snails! They are all enclosed so the animals I board won’t be able to get to them! My love for animals runs deeper then most and I can assure that your pets will be in safe hands! I can walk your dogs for up to 2 hours everyday if needed! I am a high school student at the moment and graduating in 2021 so I do have school during the day but I am online and not in person so I have the time to care for your dog or cat! I live with my mom and she works from home so that’s another person in the house to help me out if I need it! I work for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services! I work 9 hour days but will be able to come back home during lunch for most house sittings, if not I will communicate that in advance. I will do whatever you need for your pets and customize my routine at your home to your liking! I live in a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home which has a large unfenced yard. Plenty of walking and play space and I’m able to go on daily runs/walks. There is a dog park nearby which I can go to sometimes but not daily. For house sitting I will do whatever you would like me to do for your fur babies! All I want is for them to be happy and healthy!
“Kelly did great with our 2 dogs. One of them has a lot of energy and the other struggles with anxiety but she handled both of them well. She gave them lots of love while we were away!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was a kid. I also babysit my family and friends pets when they are out of town quite often. Every animal I have taken care of seems to really love me because I nurture them, connect with them and give them attention often. I know just the right spots on their back or just behind the ear that will make them excited to see me every time. I have watched a bearded dragon, ferret, rabbits, chickens, dogs and cats. I have also volunteered briefly on a farm where I learned how to feed goats, pigs, rabbits and collect chicken eggs. I love animals and will treat your pet as my own. I work at home as a freelance graphic designer, so in between projects I always have lots of time to care for and love your pets while you are away! I love going on walks, will run with your dog if requested and I don't mind bigger dogs at all. I can't wait to be of service to you and your furry best friend. I am currently working part time as a freelance graphic designer and can work from anywhere. When I am not on my computer I have plenty of time to to play with, walk or spend the night with your pets. I am not allowed to have pets at my place due to the lease I signed but I will be super excited and more than willing to come over to your place and watch your fur babies, play with them, walk them or keep them company. For dogs, I make sure to take them on walks a few times a day, depending on their needs. With cats, I regularly make sure that the litter is clean. They are fed according to their weight and if they take medicine I usually group it with feeding time.
“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 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.
“I found out that my dog had heart issues less than a week before my vacation so I needed someone to come an extra time. Kylie was able to fit me in at the last minute. Kylie is responsible and really cared about my dog. I would definitely book her again.”
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!
“Taylor was excellent with Maggie. She also handled a key issue (totally my fault) calmly when I was definitely not calm since we were literally taking off on a 5.5 hour flight. 100% would recommend and will have Taylor take care of Maggie again!”
About: I am a pre- veterinary student with years of experience. I have worked at shelters, vet clinics, farms, and pet sitting. My goal is to gain as much animal experience as I can before I make my way to vet school. I am currently working part time since I am a full time student. I have free gaps throughout the days so I am filling them in with pet sitting. I can easily crate your pet if needed. I will also give my undivided attention to your pets and keep them active if asked to.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets since I was born! I have experience taking care of neighbor’s pets overnight, and love going for long walks with furry friends. I’m currently training for a 10k, so if your puppy likes to run, I’m happy to take them along with me! I have experience with both large and small dogs, and currently have four large dogs in my family home that I grew up with. I have experience in giving medications to senior dogs, as well as providing comfort care. I also have experience caring for rabbits, as I had one as a pet for 8 years. I currently work as a graduate student at FSU, and have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies! I am also available all day on weekends, including Fridays, for pets that prefer someone constantly home. I love going for long walks around Tallahassee, so dogs with lots of energy would fit perfectly with that. I also enjoy lounging around and taking short strolls if your pet is more low-energy. I can crate a dog if necessary, and am not stranger to animals with strange dietary needs (my own dogs are extremely picky eaters). I have experience giving medications to dogs, cats, and rabbits as well.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Tallahassee is $20
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!
Analia was communicative and kind but unfortunately there was a significant feeding error during this booking. My cat has a very specific diet and I had instructed that only 1.5 g of a venison topper be given with her wet canned meal. Her partner misread the amount as 15 g and added substantially more than instructed before realizing the mistake. Their partner believes my cat ate around 5/15g before the mistake was realized but that is still a much larger amount than 1.5g. My cat is very sensitive gastrointestinally and is also on a carefully controlled diet to prevent kidney issues, so this was extremely stressful for me as I worry what effects it will have on my cat (I’m currently monitoring her overnight now). I do appreciate that Analia told me what happened, apologized, offered to issue a full refund, did order me more venison topper to make up for the lost amount and took responsibility. However, because accurately following feeding instructions is one of the most important parts of pet care for me and the sole purpose for this drop-in visit, I would not feel comfortable overlooking the error.
Our 3rd time using Lillyana to look after Bruce. This time it was the longest we have ever left (Week). So I was worried at first but seeing the many updates, pictures and how things were going made us feel very comfortable while we were gone. Lillyana looked after Bruce and was so kind and even made great friends with him. She is no doubt the best sitter I have ever gotten via Rover out of many. So if you are looking for a great responsible sitter go with Lillyana and thank me later!
Brooke was an excellent caretaker to my cats while I was away at the beach. She sent pics and videos and really made being away completely worry free. My cats warmed up to her quickly, which is something they don't normally do, which is a testament to her kind nature and natural instincs when watching someone's pets. She is as good as it gets. Cat Sitter Extraordinaire!! Highly recommend.
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.
Fantastic sitter! Shes watched my kitty twice and went above and beyond this second visit. My cat had an accident and she cleaned it all and washed the blanket. Spent extra time with her and gave her plenty of attention. Louisa is very communicative when stopping by, keeps you updated on what's going on. Highly recommend!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Tallahassee on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tallahassee. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 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.
