About: I've cared for furry friends since I could walk. My family raised me in an environment where caring for animals was a form of education, and one I'm happy to share every day. I own a business that operates in a seasonal fashion. This affords me the opportunity to be available where most aren't. Whether that be for day visits and walks, or night time check ins. My home is great for dogs. My old boy loves company. He's very gentle. I have access to walking trails as well. I am happy to accommodate for kennel trained or non-kennel trained.
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
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.
About: I may be new to the Rover community but I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently have 2 a golden retriever and a mini Aussie. I pet sit for many family members and friends in the neighborhood including both cats and dogs. I would love to get to know your furry friends! I currently am a college student home for the summer so I am free whenever to pet sit/pet walk. This is literally my dream job. I am willing to do anything that the owner needs for their pet. I love dogs and am very willing to do anything needed in your home.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs. I have grown up caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, taking on responsibilities myself, and began professionally dog sitting last year. I am patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently go to school Tuesdays and Thursday from 11-2 so I have a couple days off and pet care would be a great way to fill that time! I care for every pet based on their individual routine and needs. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have plenty of water, exercise, playtime, and attention. I also follow any specific instructions from owners to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care.
“Lisa did amazing! She sent plenty of pictures, was very communicative, and our place was very clean when we got back. My cat also seemed very happy in the pictures and was happy when we got back. Zero complaints, would absolutely book again! ☺️”
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.
“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!”
“Can't recommend Jordan highly enough. She clearly loves animals, and she did a great job of taking care of The Bandit and keeping us updated. She also came by beforehand to meet him and to make sure she understood our instructions, and was generally very accommodating despite our first booking being on relatively short notice. Will definitely be booking again :)”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and let’s just say they’ve all been a whole package! From our permanent ones to foster ones, old and young, breeds all over the board, they all shared the love you can only find in a dogs heart. From training puppies to teaching old dogs new tricks, spending time with such gentle souls brings a happiness I can no longer live without. They go the whole mile for us, so it’s only right we do the same for them! I’m currently in school and working part time, but still finding so much time in my days and what better way to fill it than with making new pet friends! I’ve got a short schedule with lots of extra and flexible time on my hands. Although I get a head start in making your pets comfortable within their own home, I always approach gently and only strict when needed. I’ve handled many differently tempered dogs and have gotten good at keeping a situation under control and keeping everyone involved safe is extremely important to me.
About: I have had numerous pets throughout my life and currently have 2 cats. I love animals and frankly have all the time in the world right now during summer to come help you with your pets. I am a full time student at FSU and am currently home for the summer. I can absolutely fit pet care into my daily routine as I am not enrolled in any summer classes. I can pass a background check if needed, (never committed a crime), and can do practically anything you need for your animals, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, or just spending time with them.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in the past, including my own dog who recently passed. I have taken care of dogs who are puppies all the way to elder dogs. I work part-time, but I am certainly able to cater to all your pups needs! I can always adjust my schedule to fit your dogs in! I always make sure to keep an eye on the dogs at all times, even if they are trained. I currently do not have a dog at my home, so there is no worries about dogs not getting along.
“Brianna is literally the best! She went above and beyond, leaving thorough notes after each check in. Whenever I need a sitter she will be my first choice! Thank you so much for the incredible attentiveness and love you gave my cats Panda & Simba. I couldn’t recommend you enough!”
“Jacqueline took excellent care of our dogs. They were always excited to see her and we loved seeing the pictures she took during each visit. I would absolutely use her again and would 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.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tallahassee
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.
Jack has done an amazing job with Lilly! She is usually really shy with new people, but she took to Jack almost instantly. He is very loving with her and cuddles with her, which is one of her favorite things. He is also helpful with things like bringing in packages left at the front door which is incredibly helpful for keeping packages secure and out of the heat. 😊
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.
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.

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.

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.
