“Thank you Bob for taking such good care of my dog! I was able to enjoy time away without worrying, knowing my dog was in good hands. Bob had stellar communication and would throw the ball and take Forrest for walks everyday. He also graciously extended the stay an extra day after we had travel complications. Will be booking again for future travel!”

About: Hey there! I'm Aylee, your friendly neighborhood dog lover and experienced sitter! I grew up with dogs, giving me over 30 years of pet care under my belt. I'm ready to provide awesome care for your pup (or pups!)! Each dog gets personalized TLC, tailoring to their specific needs. From puppies to big barkers, I've got 'em all covered! Special attention? No sweat, I'm a pro at medicine administration and extra cuddles. My own dog is a senior gal (who recently passed) who was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder when she was very young, so I am well-versed in caring for sick pups that need special attention. During my visits and stays, your pup will get plenty of fetchin' fun, belly rubs, and ear scratches! And you'll get regular updates and adorable photos! I work my full-time job from home and have a flexible schedule. This enables me to adapt my work hours to meet the needs of you and your pets. When I pet sit in someone's home or mine, I make sure to ask for and follow any and all instructions, stick to schedules (unless the pup begs for more playtime!) and meal plans, give lots of love, follow house rules (no couch surfing for pets), and maintain a clean, tidy pet paradise.

“I had to leave out of town on an emergency so I found Judith. She answered my request quickly on short notice. So happy I found her My dog fell in love with her immediately. She took good care of him, and sent pictures. We will definitely use Judith again!”

“Nilanie did a great job watching our dog, Lola, while we were out of town for a few days. She sent adorable photos everyday of our pup and provided consistent updates on how she was adjusting. Definitely recommend!”

“Madelyn is so sweet and her dog is super cute and friendly!! My pup was very well taken care of, and I got plenty of pics/updates throughout his stay! 10/10 recommend”


“Sarah was such a life saver for me when I was in the area. She took great care of my dog Roo and sent so many pictures and videos throughout Roo’s stay. I felt so at ease knowing Roo was being well taken care of like she was one of their own. Will definitely have them sit for us again!”

“Richard was a great dog sitter for my puppy. He treated her with so much care and sent me updates and pictures of my dog while I was gone for my trip. I could tell how much my dog enjoyed staying him. I will definitely rebook with Richard again.”

“Andrea took such good care of Forrest! She is so sweet and attentive. I especially alpreciated that she kept me updated all weekend with photos and videos. You can tell her love for animals. Will be rebooking!”

“Amazing stay with Alicia. Our baby Elsa was left for about a week which is the longest she’s been away from us. Alicia made sure she updated us with pictures and messages on how she was doing. Elsa was really comfortable throughout the time and I think Maddie helped with that too. Thank you Alicia! Will definitely recommend and rebook with you :) .”

“Kendell and Matthew were fantastic! They took such good care of my dog Bella. Bella got to spend so much time outside playing and also cuddling with the family inside. They really brought Bella in as their own for the time I needed to board her and they made sure to send pictures and videos throughout her stay with them. 10/10 will be using them again in the future!”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing! We had to leave for a family emergency and decided to try Rover. When I tell you, this was probably the best decision ever. Amanda was very kind and you can tell she’s a true animal lover with lots of experience. While we were away, Amanda kept us updated on our kittens with daily texts and photos. When I returned home, my little kittens were happy and well taken care of. I can’t thank her enough for taking excellent care of my lil fur baes. ☺️”

About: I taken care of animals all my life. Fishes, guinea pigs,hamsters, bunnies, dogs, and cats! I even volunteered at an animal shelter for a summer and it was such a great experience!! I will treat your baby like it’s my own💕 Majority of my day ends around 3:30 due to classes but other times it ends before that in the afternoon. I am free on the weekends unless I am traveling out of town! I live in a first floor apartment in a gated community. All dogs are safe to walk around the complex as every dog is required to be leashed. I also have a lock to my room incase I do any animal sitting, so no randoms can come into my room nor apartment.
About: Hi! I'm Charli, and I've been caring for animals in both a professional and personal capacity for several years. I've worked as a bather, groomer, daycare, and veterinary clinic professional for over 5 years, and have experience with all of the following animals: dogs (all sizes), cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, fish, pigs, lizards, birds, & more! I most enjoy house sitting, dog walking, and daytime care, and I am able to travel to the further parts of the Tallahassee metro area upon request. For overnight animal guest needs, I have a home in the Astoria Park area of Tallahassee with a big fenced back yard and 5 animals of my own (2 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 ferret). All of our animals are great with other pets and love to meet new friends. If needed, we can also set up a room your pet can have all to themselves. Pet care is my everyday priority! My fiancée works full time from home, allowing me to devote my time to giving our pets and others' pets the care and attention they need (and deserve). I take pet care very seriously and am very attuned to animals' body language. As a veterinary worker, I have been trained to handle any situation in a calm and collected manner. Additionally, I like to ensure proper nutrition, adequate play time and potty breaks, and down time/quiet time when pets are feeling overwhelmed.
“Heather was amazing with my senior dog Winston! She was so attentive and she consistently sent photos and check ins to me. She was accommodating to his dietary needs and gave him so much love he was sad to leave. I will definitely be rebooking with her again”

“Colette is a wonderful sitter! Our dog Hunter loves her and has a great time during his stays with her. He has a lot of energy and always gets lots of walks and play time with her. It’s always hard to leave him but seeing how excited he was to see her again definitely helped.”


“Anna was a great sitter for our Dog, we got loads of pictures of him on walks and playing. She was really great with communication and accommodating with pick up/drop offs! I will definitely use her services 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!”

Tallahassee dog parents share their Rover experiences
Frankie and Daniel took good care of our two standard poodles while we were in town for our grandson’s graduation from FSU. We were concerned how our youngest poodle would get along with Atlas. They got along beautifully and Atlas gave Diesel lots of play time. Ripley got lots of cuddles and pets. Definitely would recommend if you live or visit Tallahassee.
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.

They took care of my dog like she was one of their own! I got constant updates about walks and activities they were doing throughout the day and felt assured my dog was in good hands while I was away. You can tell they really take their job looking after your furry friend seriously, and I cannot recommend them enough. I will definitely look to them to help out again!
