About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was a kid. I also babysit my family and friends pets when they are out of town quite often. Every animal I have taken care of seems to really love me because I nurture them, connect with them and give them attention often. I know just the right spots on their back or just behind the ear that will make them excited to see me every time. I have watched a bearded dragon, ferret, rabbits, chickens, dogs and cats. I have also volunteered briefly on a farm where I learned how to feed goats, pigs, rabbits and collect chicken eggs. I love animals and will treat your pet as my own. I work at home as a freelance graphic designer, so in between projects I always have lots of time to care for and love your pets while you are away! I love going on walks, will run with your dog if requested and I don't mind bigger dogs at all. I can't wait to be of service to you and your furry best friend. I am currently working part time as a freelance graphic designer and can work from anywhere. When I am not on my computer I have plenty of time to to play with, walk or spend the night with your pets. I am not allowed to have pets at my place due to the lease I signed but I will be super excited and more than willing to come over to your place and watch your fur babies, play with them, walk them or keep them company. For dogs, I make sure to take them on walks a few times a day, depending on their needs. With cats, I regularly make sure that the litter is clean. They are fed according to their weight and if they take medicine I usually group it with feeding time.
“Hannah did a wonderful job with my two large dogs. They loved Hannah and we loved her communication with us. We knew when Hannah was at our home and received pictures and an update from each visit. It was comfortable for the dogs to stay home and have such a friendly and responsible person visit them.”

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: As an aspiring vet, it is my duty to ensure the health and welfare of any animal in my care. I make sure to carefully observe and notate any abnormalities while pet sitting to make sure any issues are caught early on Currently working part-time as a veterinary assistant, on my journey to come a veterinarian, pet care is my everyday life and has been for the past 5 years. I have easy access to a large dog park, and open fields so plenty of outside time is used. My home is also very spacious, plenty of roaming around space with a fenced deck for sunbathing as well
“charli did a drop in to meet my dogs before watching them for labor day. charli was amazingly patient, caring, listening, and dealt with my super hyper dog perfectly. booking for labor day asap!”

About: Hi! I'm a recent MFA graduate from FSU, dog owner, and long-time pet lover and foster mom. I have worked with a pretty wide variety of dogs from my time volunteering and fostering for a rescue when I lived in Gainesville. (I also worked at the UF vet college for 4 years, in an administrative capacity.) I have some experience with cats too, including a cat that needed insulin shots. I just graduated with a master's degree in writing and am looking for gig-type work that allows me writing time. Currently my schedule is very open! I am 40 and have a little more life experience than many local sitters. I have experience giving medication and injections. Happy to answer any questions you have about safety.
About: I’ve pet sat ever since I was a kid. I have pet sat for cats, dogs, fish, and even frogs! I have experience working at a veterinary office as a receptionist, vet tech, and kennel tech. I have basic knowledge of veterinary care because of my experience in the veterinary field. I am excited to treat your babies as my own! I currently am part time in college on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but fairly free most days. I can visit your fur babies max 3 times a day, everyday. I take care of my dog and fur baby, Juneau, with lots of love and care. I will always spend time with your fur babies and will give them lots of loving! I pay close attention to behavior or anything out of the ordinary, I will immediately contact you if anything is of concern. With my experience in the veterinary field, I can help identify any medical issues that may come up and can provide any transportation to your preferred veterinarian.
About: My background as a Pre-Vet student with 400+ hours of volunteer experience in shelters and therapeutic programs helps me daily in this field . I'm calm and confident with all temperaments—skilled in easing anxious pets, entertaining energetic pups, and providing gentle care for animals of all . Animal care is my passion, and I display that dedicated, high-level attention to every pet I sit. As a college student, my schedule includes flexible breaks between classes and labs, making it easy to fit in regular drop ins, walks, and playtime. Evenings and weekends are more likely to be open for extended care and house sitting. When caring for pets in your home, safety and respect are my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, and house rules while keeping your space clean and secure, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away.

“I loved having Jordan check in on my pups! She did a fantastic job caring for my dogs and an even better job communicating with us. I truly felt like my dogs were being well taken care of and I would 100% use her services again to dog sit. Thank you Jordan!!”


About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have always been the person who wants to love on every critter I meet! I have several sweet fur babies of my own and have cared for all kinds of animals over the years—from dogs and cats to horses, birds, lizards, rats, and pretty much anything else you can name. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster 3 medical puppies through LCHS, along with 1 non-medical foster dog. Fostering has given me even more experience with animals who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I am also familiar and comfortable with administering medicine to cats and dogs from pills to shots and creams. I genuinely love animals and really enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and quirks. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, so I take their care very seriously. When your pets are with me, they’ll be treated just like my own with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!). I work a full time job M-F but am able to do lunchtime potty breaks. If you are interested in booking over weekdays it would be best that your fur baby can be alone for 4 hour increments. If your pet is people/pet friendly and you approve I am able to bring dogs to my office space. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like my own and take the responsibility of caring for them very seriously. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely, and make sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable. I want you to feel completely at ease while you are gone and pride myself on sending often updates and photos of your fur babies.
About: Hi, I’m Analia! What separates me from other pet sitters is my unique experiences with animals while working and managing in a corporate setting (a pet store). I know very well the standard of care that the pickiest of clients (and animals!) expect, and my hope is to be allowed to extend such high standards and more to any pets in need of a buddy, and facilitate your peace of mind while they’re under my watch! My love for animals is boundless, and I can assure you that your animal will come back to you feeling super loved and appreciated too :) I am a happy and enthusiastic learner and most of all very, very adaptable to your pet’s individual needs and special requirements as well as your own personal day to day requests. Currently part time with a lottttt of free time in the afternoon! I am able to make drop in visits or walks as need be. I've also worked together with my partner (very loving and a stickler for rules- your rules!) to ensure we cover any gaps in timely care. My partner would be part of the meet and greet should we need to ensure your pets are comfortable and socialized if my visits before and after work do not suffice :) It goes without saying, I will heed whatever tips you have for your pets—they’re your babies after all!!— and I will absolutely make sure their safety and well-being is paramount while in my care! Never off a leash when outside, and always with my phone handy in case of emergencies. (Knock on wood!)
“Natianna is awesome!! She is so sweet, ready to administer meds as needed, and did a wonderful job with our highly stubborn English Bulldog. She’s also a vet tech which is such a huge bonus and piece of mind!! We highly recommend her ☺️”

About: I have been a dog mom for 45 years of 6 fur babies. Special skill is to love, snuggle and make sure they are happy. I am retired and a substitute teacher and willing to take care of your babies while you are at work, play or out of town. Care will be done in your home. I have an English Mastif at home. I will be able to come for 1-2 hours a day.

“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!”

“Katherine has been awesome! This has been super easy and she has taken such great care of my babies, has been on time each visit and sends pictures. Highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of my Boston terrier for five years and taught him potty training. I’ve also walked neighbors dogs in my local neighborhood and truly enjoy giving each pet love, attention and care. I’m currently a part-time student with a flexible schedule, so I can care for your pup mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I’m available Monday through Sunday and will do my best to accommodate your needs. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of love, belly rubs, and walks. I always follow owner instructions carefully to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in every environment.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Tallahassee is $19
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tallahassee
No worries, Joseph helped us out in everything we asked. He was professional, timely and detail oriented [if we asked him, he took care of a task], he has a nice affinity and gentle nature that pairs well with animals. When we returned home from vacation, everything was as if we only left moments ago. That is a truly wonderful feeling.

Madeline did an outstanding job checking on my 25 lb wire haired terrier, Dahlia. She verified instructions beforehand, filmed her entering the apartment and meeting Dahlia, shared lots of pics with me, and messaged me details about the visit. I would highly recommend her.

Samantha was absolutely fantastic. Our first time using rover and Samantha made the process so easy and took our worries away. Our dog can be very shy and Samantha took the time to get to know him and create a bond. I couldn’t recommend her more. We will definitely be booking again :))

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!

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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tallahassee stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
