About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals. I’ve always had at least four dogs in my home, so caring for pets has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I have personally trained my dogs from basic potty training to commands such as sit, stay, stop, and roll over. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, extra attention, or reinforcement of training, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I can also provide overnight care if needed to help keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. In addition to my extensive experience with dogs, I have been cat sitting for the past three years. I am experienced with feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure cats receive the attention, affection, and care they need while their owners are away. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care and can provide updates to owners for peace of mind. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra companionship, I am committed to making sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision, while also keeping their living area clean and tidy. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by treating them with the same care and respect I would give my own animals.
“Stefani came by twice a day and took my girls for walks and fed for me while I had to be out of town for a trip. Kept me updated every visit with texts and photos. Appreciated her greatly and her patience with my girls.”

About: I’ve owned and worked with animals my entire life, and caring for pets is second nature to me. I’ve raised and loved two senior dogs of my own, so I understand how to provide gentle, attentive care—especially for pets who need extra patience and support. Whether it’s giving meds, helping with mobility, or simply offering comforting company, I know how to meet pets where they are. What truly sets me apart is the love and respect I bring to every animal I meet. I treat your pets like my own—with warmth, responsibility, and a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. Pet sitting is my job, so I’m able to offer flexible, reliable care throughout the week. I don’t have a traditional 9–5 schedule, which means I can adjust my availability to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits. I’m committed to giving your pets consistent, loving attention and making sure their routine stays as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away. Whether that means sticking to a strict feeding schedule, giving medications, or just offering extra snuggles, I treat your home and your pet with the same care and attention I would my own.
About: We love pets and taking care of them. My daughter is 18 and we’ve been in the dog sitting business for quite a few years now. We love pets and recently got one of our own! We guarantee you that your pet will feel as loved with us as they do with you. We love dogs. Our house is clean and the proper environment for your pet. We are caring and loving towards all pets. Your pet will be very active with us. We'll play with them, run, walk or whatever you want us to do. They will be very happy and feel at home with us. She is now in college at FSU and can housesit or walk dogs there too! At home, she will do a majority of the work but I will help out when she is busy. Welcome to Mother and Daughter Sitting! I’m currently working from home while Sophia’s at FSU. Either one of us can take care of them whether it’s pet sitting in St Augustine or housesitting/dog walking in Tallahassee. We’re very gentle and you can rest assured that your baby will be safe with us. Our house has a nice backyard so they’ll have plenty of space to play in.
About: I have dog sat for around 5 years with dogs of all sizes. I can prepare meals, bathe, walk, and let outside at least every 3 hours. I have fostered cats for nearly 5 years. I grew up with 6 cats and 2 dogs, but now live alone with no pets and am missing the love! I’m currently a full-time student at FSU. I am in the marching band, so my evenings are taken from 3-7. I am usually only on campus from 1-12pm during the week, so mornings are open! I can easily walk, play, bathe, etc. Any request for in-house needs I can fulfill! I’m also comfortable changing pee pads if needed or any accidents.
About: One of my biggest joys in life are animals. Every chance I get, I look after the pets of family and friends. I have been watching my grandmas 2 dogs when they go out of town for about 2 years. I have friends who ask me regularly to look after their furry friends for days to weeks at a time. Ive dealt with puppies, animals in need of medication, and non-Potty trained animals. I have stayed night at houses or just stopped by regularly depending on what you prefer. I have worked with pit bulls down to chihuahua's. Aside from just pets I also volunteer at a horse rescue which had an abundance of animals and i have learned a great amount from that experience. Not to mention I have 6 animals of my own (4 cats, 2 dogs) whom I love dearly. I currently work Part-Time at ALDI as a Store Associate. We stay relatively overstaffed therefore i get a maximum of 20 hours a week, leaving me with plenty of time with your pets! Safety is always number one when it comes to all pets im responsible for. I prioritize the wellbeing an an animal as i do myself. For example, At my house we have a fenced in yard for the dogs to play but when my dog was a puppy, she would jump the fence. Therefore i would prioritize letting her out with a leash in the back yard to prevent her from getting harmed off our property.

About: I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience, but I do have experience taking care of my own pets. I have a standard poodle and a cat, so I’m used to feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’m patient and attentive, and I know every pet has their own personality and routine & I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets and give them plenty of attention while you’re away. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine. I can usually be available for walks, check ins, feeding, and spending time with pets throughout the day. I’m also good at sticking to a pet’s normal routine and making sure they get the attention they need. I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable environment and that they have everything they need. I’ll follow the owner’s instructions and keep up with their normal feeding, walking, and bathroom routine. I’m also careful about doors, gates, and anything they could get into, and I’ll keep the owner updated while they’re away.

“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’ve taken care of dogs within a large variety since I was 10. From my own German Shepard mix to my closest friend’s terrier, I’ve catered to dogs small and medium sized with care and lots of fun! I am currently a full time college student with a part time job but my schedule is flexible. I can squeeze in appointments during the week but weekends are mostly free. I take cautious note of any allergy or routine concerns I am given from the owner about the animal. I live in an apartment which is very pet friendly and cleanly.
About: I’m a college student who misses her dogs from home (two Havanese Ollie and and Frankie) I would love to foster in the future and I do well with all dogs! I am currently a student with a very lenient schedule, dog walking for me is a source of stress relief. I look forward to the exercise! I live a short walk from a large dog park. My roommates and I keep our apartment very tidy and enjoy taking walks together. We recently found a lost dog and was able to take amazing care of her before finding her owner.
About: I grew up around dogs and cats my whole life. I cannot imagine my life without one. From my friends to family and neighbors I was trusted to take care of their pets, whether it was for a couple of hours to days to weeks. I am free from the morning 10am to the nighttime 9pm in the week from Monday to Sunday to take care of your fur baby. As a pet caregiver it is important for me to feel safe as well as keeping your pet safe!I can provide safety items for your pet baby. These items include pet gates or cage.
About: You can take comfort in knowing your fur babies will always be well taken care of with me! I have 3+ years of experience working with dogs and cats of all ages. I also have experience administering medicine, crate training, and bathing! You’re guaranteed lots of picture and video updates from me, and your pet will receive lots of love and quality time! I am a part-time foster parent for the animal shelter and worked/volunteered there for a while, so I have experience not only dealing with varying ages of pets, but also different temperaments, sizes, and personalities! I am taking summer classes at FSU, which takes up about an hour of my day around lunch time. My schedule outside of classes is conveniently flexible and very open, so I always have plenty of time to ensure your pet is receiving the high level of care and attentiveness they deserve! I treat every fur baby as if they’re my own, and can ensure every pet owner that their baby will be kept on their scheduled feeding and walking routine, along with lots of playtime in between!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for my neighbors since I was 12 years old, where I was relied on to feed, walk, and play with many breeds of dogs. Since then, I have also fostered dogs and cats through my local shelter, and have been a designated dog walker for the past 6 months. I have experience fostering puppies as well! I am currently a law student and am hoping to walk/dog sit when I am not in class. I can easily hang out or with your dogs in the afternoons and/or weekends! I am very experienced with dog sitting and have spent weeks at a time dog sitting for others overnight. I am happy to take your dogs on multiple walks a day, play with them, and feed them. I will also follow every instruction you give extremely carefully!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tallahassee
Jack was a great pet companion!! He spent lots of quality time with my dog Lilly, and Lilly looked forward to his every visit. He would also let me know if I was running low on any of Lilly’s supplies. I highly recommend him and will use him again if I need a sitter. He also was great at taking in any packages that arrived during the day so they didn’t sit outside until I came home after work.

I needed someone sort of last minute to let my dogs out while I was out of town. Samantha was quick to respond and was able to come that day to meet my girls. She was very accommodating and sent multiple pictures for each visit. I would 100% book her again the next time I need someone.

Amazing! This is our second time using Jordan as a dog sitter and she definitely kept the standard she set on the first time we had her. She is very attentive to our pups and sends so many cute pictures! You can tell she really cares about animals and is happy to go above and beyond for them! Thank you Jordan!

We are so happy to have found Charlie! Our chocolate lab is full of energy and tends to pull on walks. After meeting Charlie and learning about her experience working with larger dogs, we felt very comfortable leaving him in her hands. She kept us updated and even sent over photos of the visit. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Tallahassee is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 537 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tallahassee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Tallahassee choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Tallahassee with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tallahassee. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
