“I needed a sitter last minute and Diaja was available! Communication was great and she followed all requests. Received updates and pictures while away. I’m glad I found someone I can trust!”

“I’ve used Sara several times and she always does a great job taking care of my cats. She follows my instructions to a T, which is really helpful for cats who don’t like change. I highly recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong bond with animals and years of hands-on experience that began when I was just 4 years old. I grew up living with my grandfather, who always had five dogs at a time. Being surrounded by animals from such a young age taught me the importance of consistent, compassionate care. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to care for their pets, and I treat every animal like part of the family. When my parents gifted me my own puppy, I took formal puppy training classes to better understand behavior and effective training techniques—skills I still use with every dog I care for. Beyond puppy care, I have extensive experience with senior and special needs dogs. I helped care for my grandfather’s dog who was blind, deaf, and had a tumor, making sure he felt safe, loved, and comfortable every day. Currently, I’m caring for my own senior dog who has cancer. I manage her treatment, including chemotherapy appointments and administering medication, with patience and dedication. This experience has deepened my ability to care for aging or ill pets with empathy and attentiveness. Whether it’s basic training, special medical care, or just keeping them company, I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels at home, safe, and well cared for. I’m currently waiting to start college and will be home for the next month, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m more than happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs—whether that means walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company. Your pet’s comfort and care are my top priority, and I’ll work with you to make sure they get exactly the attention they need while you’re away. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I'm highly attentive and have no problem going the extra mile, whether that means long walks, park visits, beach outings, or just lots of playtime and companionship. If caring for pets in my home, I offer a secure and comfortable environment. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and live in a neighborhood with a dog park just minutes away. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, jogs, or runs, and I’m always ready for a good game of tug-of-war or fetch. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, you can count on me to be reliable, punctual (I aim to arrive early), and respectful of your space. I can quickly get to your home in case of emergencies and will follow any specific instructions you provide. I'm comfortable with crate training and can easily manage routines around feeding, medication, or special care. No matter the location, my goal is to ensure your pets feel happy, safe, and cared for 24/7.
About: What sets me apart is my ability to tailor pet care to each animal's unique needs, including specialized training for puppies, gentle attention for seniors, and handling pets with medical needs. With a calm and nurturing approach, I ensure every pet feels loved and secure. My dedication to maintaining routines and providing mental stimulation through play or enrichment activities creates a happy, healthy environment. You can trust me to treat your furry friends with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I am a college student and some days I have free time because I do not have a class scheduled. I would love to spend my free time taking care of animals. They relive stress for me and give me so much joy. Taking care of pets has been my go to for a while so I am capable of the requirements needed. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have a quiet space for rest, ample toys for play, and access to food and water on their usual schedule. For client homes, I maintain their established routines, ensure the home remains secure, and keep it tidy. I provide exercise, affection, and any special care, such as administering medications or grooming. My goal is to make pets feel at ease, loved, and stress-free in any setting.

About: Hi! I’m Andrea, a college student who really misses her dog back home. That’s why I love spending time with other people’s pets—I treat them like my own! I’m reliable, caring, and happy to help with walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel at ease when someone else is watching your pet, and I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved. I’d love to meet your furry friend! I’m mostly available in the afternoons and on weekends, with some flexibility depending on the day. While my schedule can get busy with school, I always make sure to give pets my full attention when I’m with them. Feel free to message me with your needs—I’ll do my best to make it work! I offer boarding in my apartment, which I share with roommates who are respectful of pet care and space. There are many nearby walking areas where I take pets for exercise and bathroom breaks throughout the day. My apartment is pet-free aside from the pets I care for, so your furry friend will have a calm and clean environment.
About: Since I was young I’ve had the opportunity to dog sit, house sit, and walk many people’s dogs while they’ve been out of the house or away on trips. I’m a student in my third year at Florida State University, and I’ll be sure to give your dog all the attention (or space) he or she needs :). I’m very familiar with the city and all the different neighborhoods and parks. Being a student, I have a very flexible schedule. I can always work around my classes and find time to supplement material if I need to miss a lecture or two. I focus on listening to what the dog is telling me through their body language. While I love being fun and playful with my furry buddies, I also know how to recognize when they need space and respect.
“Alexandra is amazing! She was able to check in on my pup last minute and took such great care of her! She communicates well, sends updates with pics, and made sure my dog had everything she needed. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: i’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes since i was 12 years old. I love to take walks and i’m very time efficient and like to stick to schedules for things so i can assure you that your pups will get tons of love and will being taken care of while you are away.

I love to treat all animals with love and reward while still giving them their own space and the ill adjust to your pets personality and needs.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. Since I was a child, me and my mother would foster dogs very frequently to rehome them. Over the years we’ve had several dogs who were once foster dogs. Usually considered a foster failure but I find it a miracle as every single dog we’ve kept or taken care of has been a blast. I have a very light school schedule so I’m quite available besides Tuesday’s and Thursday's which I have a heavy load. Besides that I’m new to town and don’t have much going on and can easily incorporate pet care into my daily schedule. In my current residence, I live in an apartment that has access to the outside so I can take pets out as needed to use the restroom. If kept at my home I will take your pet out as often as possible to relieve them.
About: *WINTER AVAILABILITY* I'm usually available during the week after 10am, and most of the day/night on Saturday and Sunday—not available before 10am. Hi there! My name is Bella and I love cats and dogs, big or small. I am an outdoor person and will gladly take my hyperactive Labrador on walks or hikes. I volunteered at Mary S Roberts animal shelter for a year and have pet-sat for many families. I am outgoing and am super passionate about giving animals the care they deserve. Animals are often neglected in our society, and I want to change that by showing them love and compassion. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and cats of all kinds. I am available during the week after 10am and pretty flexible on Sat/Sun. Thank you for trusting me with your precious pet! They will definitely have a wonderful time hanging out with me. I recently graduated FSU, and am looking to pet-sit or dog-walk after 7amduring the week. I'm typically available all day Saturday and Sunday. I'm excited to work with you! I don’t offer pet care in my home. I have a cat and he is indoor only to keep him safe. When I’m petsitting, I make sure dogs are always on a leash and doors are always closed.

She went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, healthy, and loved while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos she sent.

“I enthusiastically recommend Brooke for the position of pet sitter. I have known Brooke for 5+ years, during which time she has provided exceptional care for my pets on numerous occasions. Brooke is a responsible, reliable, and caring individual with a genuine love for animals. She has looked after my babies and each time, I have been thoroughly impressed with her professionalism and attention to detail. She follows instructions meticulously, ensuring that my pets' feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific medical needs are met with the utmost care. What sets Brooke apart is her ability to connect with animals on a personal level. She is patient, observant, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my pets feel safe and loved in my absence.Beyond her excellent pet care skills, Brooke is also highly communicative and trustworthy. She always provides updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I have complete confidence in her ability to handle any situation that may arise. Therefore, I highly recommend Brooke for any pet sitting opportunity. She is a dedicated and compassionate individual who will undoubtedly provide outstanding care for your pets.”
Michael M.
“Michael is an animal lover, it’s part of his DNA. He didn’t have much of a choice being born into a home with 4 dogs, including a boisterous 75 lb. basset hound, his pal growing up. When Michael turned 8 we became deeply involved in animal rescue as a foster family. Over the years our home was and still is a revolving door of foster dogs, adopting a few along the way. Michael helped nurture and care for all our pets, including fosters. While he got attached to many, he quickly learned the value of animal rescue and the joy of rehabilitating many neglected and abandoned animals when they were placed into loving homes. He is a natural with animals, and has a very calm and commanding way when handling and medicating pets. Many of our dogs (and fosters) have had special needs, including two insulin dependent diabetic dogs and an epileptic. He is a responsible pet owner and an equally great pet sitter, knowing first-hand the needs of dogs and cats for that matter (he found and we kept a young cat hiding in the bushes). At college now, he asks me to send pics and videos of our dogs almost daily. He misses them and would like nothing more than to care and love on your pets.”
Bella E.
“Bella is wonderful with any kind of fur baby! From her own to other people’s, she loves to be around them and care for them. She’s affectionate and does great playing with both cats and dogs, and she is consistent and reliable. I would trust her with my babies any time!”
Tallahassee dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emily was great with our pup! She was prompt, professional and extremely sweet to our 100lb dog. Our pup has never been so happy and at ease staying home while we’re away. We 💯 percent recommend Emily to look after your pets while away and we will be reaching out to her again!
It was our first time using rover and we could not be more pleased. Before, we would return to stressed or sick pups. This time, it was like returning home after work any day. Both pups appeared content and no sigs of stress at all. They ate well and slept well without any issues. Thank you Kayla❣️ You were great with kai and lily! Also, appreciate all the pictures! Thank you, rover! We’ll continue to use your services from now on.
Nellymar is an amazing sitter! She showed up on time for every visit and her communication was phenomenal. She followed Meechy’s care plan perfectly with no issues at all. Meechy is super energetic, but she handled him so well and kept him happy and engaged. She was very attentive and gave him lots of love and belly rubs. Meechy absolutely adored her! I would easily rate her a 10+. I’ll definitely be booking her again anytime I need a sitter.
Zeus might have a new favorite friend at the house! We absolutely love MacKenzie and she did a wonderful job. MacKenzie was even early and stayed a few extra minutes to make sure Zeus was all set. We are grateful to have found her and will absolutely use her again in the future.
We have just started with Sebastian and he has been very reliable and timely in helping us check on our dog midday. Cooper is a little shy and Sebastian has been very nice about getting to know him gradually with each visit. Sebastian was also available last minute to help us recently one day as well which was greatly appreciated Plus Sebastian is easy to contact and responds quickly.
I highly recommend Audrey for any pet care needs! Her passion for animals is truly remarkable, and she have a natural ability to connect with them. Whether it’s walking dogs or providing care for a variety pets, Audrey is attentive, responsible, and incredibly loving. Pets thrive in her presence, and you can trust her to treat your furry friends like family. She gives my picky/shy Pomeranian perfect. If you want someone who genuinely cares and will go the extra mile for your animals, look no further!
Erica was fantastic! My Sadie typically takes time to warm up to people but took to Erica almost immediately. Erica's knowledge of dogs personalities and quirks was perfect for my girl. I recommend her to anyone and will definitely hire her again to take care of my baby girl.
