“This was my first time boarding my dog with Ms. Stacy made me feel very comfortable. She was very sweet and honest she sends videos and pictures throughout the whole visit and every picture and video. My dog just seemed like he was so happy and it made me very comfortable with his stay. I will highly recommend if you’re looking for the perfect boarding please book with Miss Stacy she’s the best.!”
“Umphrey had an amazing time staying with Robert. I was invited inside at drop off to check out the environment for my dog and knew that my pup would be well taken care of. There was ample space for Umphrey to enjoy inside and a fully fenced in yard to play in out back. I received multiple updates each day and was truly at ease while away from my pup! Will 100% use Robert again in the future, thank you!”
“Sarah is amazing! She has taken Kaiser in twice now while we’ve been out of town and he has such a good time and well taken cared of. She consistently provides updates and pictures which is really nice too. I would highly recommend Sarah for watching your pup!”
“Madelyn took such great care of Kali! I could tell he’d been running around a lot and getting all the love and attention he could want. He came home happy, tired, and clearly spoiled in the best way. I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Madelyn again!”
“Reymun was responsive during the booking process, super friendly when we did the meet-and-greet, and took excellent care of our boy. He followed all our instructions and provided an update with pictures daily. Our dog is quite big, super strong, and has reactivity issues and Reymun was able to deal with all of that. Would absolutely book him again in the future”
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.
“I've booked with Richard several times now and will continue to book with him in the future. He's wonderful and super knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. Cannot recommend him enough!!”
“I am a new dog mom. And this was my first time leaving my pup. I absolutely loved how much zeus enjoyed being at Judith's. I was updated with many pictures and videos. She was like a second mom to him lol. Definitely will use her in the future.”
“They took very good care of my dog! They sent me many videos/pictures of my dog! I felt very safe with leaving my dog there! I would definitely rebook if I could!”
“Ayana hands down the best since I’ve used this app. She was so attentive and patient with my dog. I over that she walked her so much and just so communicative . Definitely will book again”
“Andrea was so wonderful with my pup! She was so responsive and sending constant updates and pictures which was so appreciated. She clearly took great care of my dog and I would 100% leave her with her again!”
About: I have cared for dogs and pets for family, friends, and neighbors over the years, including feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on pets while their owners were away. I am reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I take pet safety seriously. As a Marine Corps veteran, I understand responsibility, consistency, and trust. I will treat your pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I can plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins. I make sure each pet gets reliable care, affection, and supervision while their owner is away. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for the owner’s instructions. I make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, safe playtime, and a calm environment. I am careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, and any special needs. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable, safe, and well cared for as if they were my own.
“My 2 dogs looked like they had an absolute blast with Alicia, her fiancé and their dog Maddie! I got plenty of updates and pics of them throughout their stay and their adventures and fun. They got plenty of exercise and loving based on what their needs were. They made sure to do a meet n greet which was helpful to make sure their dog and mine would get along and Maddie was super sweet. Overall, absolutely will be using them again when I need a sitter again!”
“Ashley and Alek are great! They took great care of Zeus, and were willing to work with us to add another day to the start of the booking on extremely short notice when our travel plans changed. They are very experienced pet sitters. Zeus hasn’t really had experience with cats before and I wasn’t sure how he’d do, but they are adept at managing multiple animals and making sure everyone has the space they need—I wasn’t worried at all!”
“Colette was great!! I contacted her last minute and she was still able to board my dog for the weekend. She took great care of Scooby and he had a great time! She kept me updated with pictures of him which I really liked! I definitely recommend her!”

Leaving Otto for two weeks was a big deal for us, but Robert set our minds at ease with frequent photos and updates. Otto was a happy boy when we picked him up, and it was obvious he had a great time with Robert. I would recommend Robert 100% and won't hesitate to book him again.
I can’t thank Cambria enough for taking such amazing care of Sunny. Sunny is a Dachshund with special needs, he’s paraplegic due to a spinal condicion, and requires extra care, like diaper changes. Cambria handled everything with so much attention, patience, and care. She also kept me updated with daily photos and videos, just as we agreed, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s very clear that she truly loves animals. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with my dog and would highly recommend her to anyone! 😊
Justin did a wonderful job boarding my lil lady Luna. He always asked the right questions and kept Luna active. Justin was even able to clip Luna’s nails, which is normally a fight with her. You can tell he has a sincere kindness when it comes to animals. Luna enjoyed her time with Justin. I will definitely book with Justin in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tallahassee on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 177 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tallahassee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Tallahassee sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Tallahassee landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tallahassee home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Tallahassee.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Tallahassee sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
