“Robert is very nice and was willing to accommodate to my dog’s routine. He was also flexible when my plans changed and I needed to pick up a few hours after the scheduled time. Will be booking with Robert again for my next trip. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Very friendly, communicative, and loving to my sweet pups! They normally don’t eat when we travel because they’re missing us, but they even ate the night we left, says a lot about her character. Will absolutely use her again for future travels!!”
“Miss Judy was wonderful for our cat!! We appreciated her love for cats and kindness! Our cat came home unstressed and never had to be medicated like at the vet! Thank you!!!”
“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!”
“I completely trust Madelyn to care for my dog Charlie. He loves her family and their dog Penny! Madelyn is great to communicate with and easy going. She kept me updated during Charlie’s stay and shared photos which allowed us to enjoy our trip with full confidence that our dog was well taken care of.”
“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!”
“My fiance and I recently went out of town and this was our first time leaving our dog with people other than family, and Alicia was wonderful! Alicia sent tons of updates and pictures of Lucy throughout the weekend. When Lucy came back home on Sunday evening she was tuckered out so we knew she had a great weekend :) Will definitely use Alicia again and will recommend her to friends as well.”
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 Tuesdays and weekends 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.
“Richard was very professional and dependable with my senior pup. He made accommodations to extend the boarding and it had already been a long one. We’re very grateful our special boy was in such good hands for the holidays. Thanks again, Richard!”
About: I have owned or cared for my own dogs my entire life. Having lost my senior 'Stanley' last year I find myself longing for a dog's company and spirit. My own dogs have lived long lives - two for 18 years, one for 17 so I know how to give meds and care for their special needs. Stanley's petsitter recommended I try Rover - so here I am! I can come to your house, or bring your dog here to my 1/2 acre fenced in yard, with a dog door to the house and lots of time to share with your pet. I am retired and in Tallahassee or the vicinity walking or meeting up with friends. I have lots of free time to share with your pet. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and a dog door to the house. I have a pool. I can come to your house if needed, or care for your dog here.
“They are always my go to when we leave for out of town. They provide the best care and it always shows when it’s time for us to pick them up. My babies are always happy with Kendall and Matthew.”
“It was my first time leaving Sadie and I am so glad I found Heather. She not only took great care of her, but sent me pictures several times everyday to let me know Sadie was doing good. I have already booked Sadie’s next visit.”
“Christy was great! She communicated with me to let me know how things were going and adorable pictures! Hal came home relaxed, happy, and tired! Will totally give her a call next time I need a sitter for my girl!”
“Franceska and Daniel are the very best! Apollo has a great time every time he goes over. He and Atlas have so much fun. We feel so safe having our boy in there care and he can’t wait to go back!!”
“Jaylen was exceptional. Sebastian usually lets me know pretty quickly if he doesn’t care for someone, but Jaylen definitely gained a fan. He was professional, communicative, and kept me updated with photos throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him!”
“Colette is so wonderful with Hunter, he really enjoys his time at her house and it makes me feel good knowing he is so well cared for. Colette is great at communicating with us beforehand and throughout the stay, being sure to send pictures and updates. We are a returning customer and feel so lucky to have found Colette. Can’t recommend her enough.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Tallahassee is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tallahassee
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tallahassee on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of June 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 June 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.
