“Lauren is an exceptionally professional and reliable sitter. She consistently arrives 5–10 minutes early to ensure she begins right on time—something rare and truly appreciated. Her time management, communication, and care for our dog, Dodger, have been outstanding. She’s proactive (even found backup supplies when we ran out) and went out of her way to return after a gated entry issue—all without being asked. We trust her completely and highly recommend her”
About: Everyone who knows me knows I am a dog lover, therefore I have been responsible for taking care of many dogs in my community! I love to take my dogs to trails for lots of exercise! My personal dog is a rescue with a strong hunting instinct; therefore, I have experience with strong dogs who are tough to walk. I am a college student with classes in the morning. My schedule varies day to day, but my love for dogs will make me help out whenever I can! Dogs in my care will get plenty of exercise and love. At home, me and my dog stay very active. I miss her very much while in college and would love to further the fun with dogs here!
“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. 😊”
“Melanie is great! She took good care of our cat and communicated well with detailed daily updates. I will definitely be booking her again next time we need a cat sitter.”
“My boys were very happy and talkative when I got home, Lisa sent videos and photos daily to keep me updated. I’ll definitely be keeping her as a go to when I need a pet sitter.”
About: I have been caring for cats and dogs since I was around 12 years old and have always loved being around animals. I am currently 19 years old and a freshman at Florida State Univeristy. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I have a Siamese cat named George, who I absolutely adore, and caring for him has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail. Over the years, I have helped care for pets of friends, family members, and neighbors, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, reliable, and caring experience for both pets and their owners. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a familiar and comforting presence around, I am committed to making them feel happy and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I’m a student at Florida State University, and my classes are typically from about 9–11 a.m., so I’m free most of the day. I’m usually available early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and nights for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company. My schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around your pet’s normal routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially in your own home. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely and pay attention to the little things like doors and gates, and each pet’s individual personality. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I’m always happy to send photos and updates while you’re away!
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for the last 8 years, on and off. Neighbors, friends from school, and family have trusted me to take care of their furry friends, and I'm excited to start using Rover! I specialize in dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and lots of playtime! I'm a junior at Florida State University, with a flexible school schedule. I have availability on days where I don't have classes to tend to your pet care needs! I live in a smoke free, clean 2x2 apartment. I care for pets in my home by making sure they are safe from any dangerous objects, feeding consistently at a certain schedule, and making sure pets are monitored.
About: I am a pre- veterinary student with years of experience. I have worked at shelters, vet clinics, farms, and pet sitting. My goal is to gain as much animal experience as I can before I make my way to vet school. I am currently working part time since I am a full time student. I have free gaps throughout the days so I am filling them in with pet sitting. I can easily crate your pet if needed. I will also give my undivided attention to your pets and keep them active if asked to.
“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: Hi! My name is Olyvia and I’m currently a senior at FSU and a huge animal lover. I currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive when you need someone to look after your pet. I’ve been pet sitting for dogs and cats since I was a freshman in high school. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets for neighbors and family friends, working with animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and personalities. This experience has taught me how important it is to pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving and reliable hands! I am currently a full time student with classes on MWF from 12-12:50 and TTH 9:30-1. I am available for visits before and after classes. I am also available on the weekend with notice. I am a sucker for football games so the weekends can vary. I am not available to care for pets in my own home, but I am free and happy to take care of them at their home! I am happy to walk, play, or just chill with your pets. I understand trust is a major factor for most pets and I am comfortable with coming to met you and your pets prior to my scheduled care to ensure guidelines and responsibilities are set and met.
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: 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 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: Hi, I’m Madi! Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a kid. I adore all animals- big and small- and currently have multiple families who trust me with the care of their pets. I’m experienced in young animal and senior animal care. It’s super important to me that your animal is cared for and loved while you’re away. I’m dedicated to providing exceptional service to you and your pet no matter the situation. I’m happy to leash and walk your pet, play with them in your yard, feed them, snuggle them or hang out with them in your home- whatever they need! I often provide overnight stays and will follow your detailed instructions. You’ll receive daily updates, photos and videos of your pet while you’re away missing one another! Whatever makes you and your pet most comfortable is what I’d like to provide.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old—everything from 80+ lb Golden Retrievers and Bernese Mountain dogs to 5 lb Yorkies. I’m also studying to become a veterinarian, so I have extensive experience with animals and a deep understanding of their needs. What sets me apart is my lifelong passion, hands-on care, and commitment to making every dog feel safe, loved, and happy. As a college student home for summer, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the care, love, and attention they deserve in mornings and afternoons. I treat every home with respect, keeping pets safe in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely and create a calm, trusted environment.
“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 grown up surrounded by animals, having two family dogs of my own, and have watched many family’s dogs. From little dogs to 100lb plus dogs, I’m experienced with everything. I’ve volunteered with animal shelters over the past five years where I’ve gotten lots of experience with walking/handling bigger, stronger digs like Pits and Labs. I’ve also helped care for newborns, given medicine, and washed many dogs. I always take lots of pictures to send back home so pet parents can get their daily dose of their furry babies! My weekends are completely free starting Friday, so I can reliably care for your pet the entire long weekend without having to rush. I am your best bet to watch your fur babies for a long weekend getaway! However, I am in my last year at FSU, which means that my schedule during the week is slightly full, and I am on campus a lot. Monday: 1-6; Tuesday: 9-4; Wednesday 9-2; Thursday: 12-6 I would love to have a conversation to see how we can make a schedule work! When I care for pets in my client’s home, I am always respectful of the space and never create a mess. I make sure to spend quality time with the pet in addition to caring for them. When I dog sit, besides walking and feeding, I make sure to spend time playing and socializing with them. I can crate dogs if requested, and I always double check to make sure the house is secure before I leave.
“Addison has been great with both our cat and our large dog on two separate week long trips. She gave us consistent updates and photos and happily addressed any concerns that came up along the way. We came home to happy animals on both occasions. We feel fortunate to have found her and plan to reach out to her again for any future pet care. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I currently have two rescues doggies, Cricket and Sunny, who are both amazing mixed breed dogs. Growing up I’ve had all different types of dogs with ages ranging from 3 weeks to 15 y/o. I have experience with both blind and deaf dogs, and can administer medicine with ease. I am currently studying exercise physiology at Florida state but have ample time for visits and play dates! Im more than happy to set up meet-and-greets with your animals to make sure I’m a good fit for your family as well as vice versa. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns! I’m currently a sophomore student at Florida State University! I only have one morning class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so I am free afterwards for any visits. In clients homes, I will always be very respectful and understand boundaries and client wishes. Primarily, I will be prioritizing the safety and happiness of the animal; however, I would love to learn any personal quirks and make sure they feel the utmost comfort with me.

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.
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!

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.

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.
