“Fantastic sitter! Shes watched my kitty twice and went above and beyond this second visit. My cat had an accident and she cleaned it all and washed the blanket. Spent extra time with her and gave her plenty of attention. Louisa is very communicative when stopping by, keeps you updated on what's going on. Highly recommend!”


About: My background combines the physical experience of handling 50lb+ breeds with the delicate care required for medical maintenance. I grew up with Labs and currently care for a Pitbull with health complications, which means I’m as comfortable on a brisk walk as I am administering treatment or monitoring symptoms. I bring a reliable, level-headed approach to caregiving that ensures every dog—regardless of size or health status—is safe and well-attended. I am available at all times Monday through Sunday, with the sole exception of Tuesdays. As a recent graduate, I have a very flexible schedule for the next two months before I relocate to begin my graduate studies in the medical field. I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can recall, growing up primarily with Labradors. While I’m very comfortable managing larger breeds, I truly love dogs of all sizes. Currently, I’m caring for my 50-pound Pitbull through a cancer diagnosis, which has given me a lot of experience with specialized care and a deep appreciation for the bond we share with our pets.
About: Dogs and cats have always been a part of my life, and there hasn't been a moment that I didn't have at least one. I'm happy to walk, play, clean or just sit and give your pet company while you're away! I'm currently a part-time student, so I have a fairly open schedule. Afternoons and evenings are the most opening, but I can also do early mornings. When I take care of your pet I pay attention to them. Whether it's while walking and making sure they stay safe or keeping an eye on their behavior at home to make sure they're healthy and comfortable.
“Alexandrea and our cat Bruce made friends on the first visit. Alexandrea also stayed for a good 30 minutes (Check-In) and made sure Bruce was fat and happy and also played with him while we were gone. Past experiences is was in and out in 15 minutes it seemed from others. I will be looking for Alexandrea on our next trip for sure!”

About: i have two cats of my own and i foster kittens. i’ve had my first cat tiger, for 9 years and rescued my other cat monkey last year. i have experience in feline asthma and kitten care since i took care of monkey from 3 weeks old. i’m very flexible since im a college student who’s here nearly year round and gets out of classes quite early in the day so walking dogs multiple times a day is no problem. i’m in college. i have classes in the late morning till around 2-3 pm every weekday. but i am free all weekend and have a car so i can get around easily. i’ll ensure a neat and tidy space. ensure all pets have been checked up on and their condition reported back to the owner. ensure food, water, etc is in order before i leave and that the pets are shown affection.

About: I’m a dependable and caring animal lover (with my own cat named Zuko!) who understands that every pet has their own personality and needs. I provide patient, attentive care and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and giving lots of affection. I’m comfortable with energetic young pets who need exercise and structure, as well as senior pets who need a gentler pace, patience, and extra attention. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands 😊 I’m a full time student at FSU pursuing my masters in social work. Because I’m full time, my schedule is currently free due to focusing on my studies and not really having time for a full time job with internships as well. I’m mostly free this summer with my class days on T/TH and the rest of the week is open! I’m especially not busy on weekends. I’m willing to discuss days and times more with pet parents who may need me drop in on class days as well depending on what time my classes end ✨ I provide loving, reliable care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level. For overnight house sitting, I stay in your home so your pet can remain in a familiar environment with their normal schedule, reducing stress while you’re away. I make sure they receive feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. For drop-in visits, I stop by to feed, refresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, provide potty breaks, playtime, and check on your pet’s overall well-being. For dog walking, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs, making sure they get exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of care. I always respect your home, follow instructions closely, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
“We’re so grateful to Natianna for taking such great care of our two cats over the past four months. She was more than just a petsitter. She really gave them love and attention, and it showed. Her care for our cats gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, kind, and clearly cared about them. We feel really lucky to have found her!”

“This was our first time having anyone watch our rabbit and Lacy was wonderful with him!! We received pictures and messages after every visit. Lacy also did a meet and greet, which was super helpful! We would definitely ask Lacy to watch our little guy again and highly recommend them!”

About: Former veterinary receptionist and kennel technician with over ten years of pet care experience. Currently employed by the state and looking to help others in Tallahassee by providing excellent pet care! I currently work full time but I plan on going part time in the near future. I’m currently available for early mornings, in the evenings, and weekends. I have a fenced in backyard, a friendly golden retriever mix and two chubby house cats. I’m a homeowner and I live close to Tom Brown Park for playtime!
“Jordyn is a wonderful house and pet sitter. We have used her many times and plan to in the future. She watch our senior cat while away for the holidays and checked in everyday giving us piece of mind while away and our cat is very shy but loves her. Highly recommend!!!!!”

“Jillian was wonderful! She came by to meet my cats and learn their routine before our booking. While I was away, I knew they were in wonderful hands. She sent lots of pictures and videos.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-looked after. I have experience house sitting, cleaning up the home before owners return, and sticking to daily routines. After work I would head straight over to let the dogs out, keep them company, and make sure they got plenty of attention. On weekends I enjoyed taking them on long walks around the neighborhood. I’ve also cared for three dogs and two cats at the same time, including baths when needed. On top of that, I’ve raised a rescue kitten from just one week old—bottle feeding every two hours, teaching him to walk, use the litter box, and transition to solid food—so I’m very comfortable with pets who need extra patience or special care. Since I have a flexible work schedule, I am able to plan my days around pet care. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, check-ins, or overnight care. I keep pets safe by following your routines closely and maintaining a clean, calm environment. I’m careful with doors, crates, feeding schedules, and any instructions you leave for me.
About: I have taken care of just pets (cat, dog, bird, turtle and rabbit) since I was a kid. Even my family and neighbors have requested me as their pet sitter because of how loyal, caring and loving I am to animals. I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me the time to share and willing give taking care of animals! My time is well spent when I get to spend quality time with god's furry creatures. I can make sure to pay close attention to their behavior as well as their surroundings to ensure their safety and well-being. I will also prioritize my time with the animal to make sure they have attention need/wanted.
About: I’m a biology Ph.D. student with a strong background in animal behavior, so pet care is something I take seriously beyond just “I like animals.” I’ve worked with and studied animal behavior across different species, including birds, fish, reptiles, ferrets, cats, dogs, and other small animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable reading body language, stress signals, fear responses, curiosity, overexcitement, and the difference between an animal needing attention versus needing space. What sets me apart is that I do not treat every pet the same. A nervous cat, an energetic dog, a shy lizard, a curious ferret, and a bird that is easily startled all need different handling. I pay close attention to each animal’s normal routine, personality, and comfort level. I move calmly, avoid forcing interaction, and try to earn trust instead of assuming it. I’ve had my own pets and grew up around family pets, especially cats, and I’m also comfortable with less “typical” animals like ferrets, birds, reptiles, and small mammals. I know that some pets are easy right away, while others take time, patience, and consistency. I actually enjoy working with the ones that need a little extra understanding. I’m careful with the basics: food, fresh water, litter boxes, walks, enclosures, doors, gates, leashes, temperature needs, and owner instructions. I’m also very comfortable giving updates, noticing behavior changes, and communicating if something seems off. My goal is to keep your pet safe, calm, and cared for in a way that matches their normal life as much as possible. My schedule is flexible, especially with advance notice. As a student, I’m used to balancing responsibilities and planning ahead, so pet care fits well into my routine. For drop-in visits, walks, or sitting, I like to know the pet’s normal schedule so I can keep things as familiar as possible. I’m happy to work around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication instructions if clearly explained, and any specific routine your pet is used to. Safety is the main thing I focus on. I’m careful with doors, gates, crates, leashes, food instructions, and anything a pet could get into while their owner is away. I do not assume every animal wants the same type of attention, so I move calmly and let them warm up at their own pace. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely and try to leave things exactly how I found them. I’m respectful of the home, the pet’s routine, and any boundaries the owner sets. If something seems off, like a pet not eating, acting unusually stressed, or having an accident, I would rather communicate than ignore it.

MacKenzie is a great pet friend! Lilly loves her visits. She really helped us when we were in a jam when our previous sitter was no longer available. MacKenzie jumped right in and has been an incredibly reliable sitter who gives Lilly lots of time and cuddles. I highly recommend her!

Katherine did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She came yesterday, spent quality time with him, and put a lot of effort into making sure he was fed properly. She was patient, caring, and attentive to his needs. I really appreciate the time and dedication she showed, and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

Jasmine has such a calm personality! My boy, Oliver took to her immediately when she came over to meet him before her first visit. She came to our home and did an hour “drop-in” visit. I loved getting the pics from her. My dog and my son’s dog (who stayed at our home also for her to take care of) looked so relaxed and happy! I will definitely plan a n having Jasmine take care of them when needed!!
