“Aylee was absolutely wonderful with Peaches! She accommodated us on very short notice, which we really appreciated, and she was incredibly communicative and friendly throughout the entire stay. We felt confident right away that Peaches was in great hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. We would recommend Aylee to anyone and are already looking forward to bringing Peaches back in the future!”
“Reymun was great! He was there for us when we had a last minute request and was so quick to communicate. He sent us updates during the day and some cute pictures of peaches spending time outside. We won’t hesistate to reach out to Reymun again or recommend him to others!”
About: I have been dog sitting for friends and neighbors since the day I got my drivers license! We recently moved to Tallahassee, and after dog sitting for a mutual friend, I realized this is something I really enjoy — and my dog does too! While we’re not in a position to get her a sibling, I know she’d love the company of other dogs. We have a large fenced in back yard and a large crate (to be used only if that is your preference). I’ll brag that my dog is great with other dogs — she senses what they need, and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body. What a great opportunity to know your dog is having as much fun as you are while you’re away! As someone who works from home, I generally let my dog out in the morning before starting work. I can easily let the dog(s) out as often as possible during the day. I can take breaks to play, but generally save any structured activity for after work. In the evenings we love to take walks around the neighborhood or through a local park. With more time on the weekends, we enjoy driving to explore longer walks and greenways. Although I have obligations out of the house, the longest I’m away from home any given day is usually no longer than 4 hours total. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly dog who loves to play, but also understands boundaries. Although we don’t use the crate for our dog anymore, we still have a large crate that can be used if that is your preference. We have a one story house but do have stairs up to the house and into the yard.
“The best dog sitter in Tallahassee!! Highly Recommend!! My wife and I were in Tallahassee for our homecoming weekend and needed a dog sitter. Judith did an outstanding job taking care of our Furbaby! She was very warm and welcoming; and our puppy was excited to return the 2nd day. When we return to town we will only use Judith!”
About: My friends and family have regularly trusted me to care for their pets for the past 4-5 years, and I treat every dog as if they are my own. I’m very committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care for your pet! I am currently off from school and I am not working for the whole summer, so I have open availability until August! I am flexible, dependable, and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities! I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of safe walking areas and green space nearby for regular walks, exercise, and potty breaks. Since I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised on a leash to ensure your pet is always safe. I carefully follow any instructions provided for feeding schedules, crate use, medications, or anything else. I also fully respect their routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free! I am patient, attentive, and mindful of each animal’s individual needs. I can also provide updates and photos regularly so parents feel comfortable while they are away.
“Bruna was fantastic looking after Peaches! After a last minute change to our schedule, she accommodated our daycare request at the last minute, which was a huge relief. She asked was quick to communicate, sent updates and pictures, and was so friendly in every interaction. We felt completely confident that Peaches was in great hands. She even took her for a walk in the park, which Peaches loves! It gave us all the peace of mind to know she was taken care of and safe. We would recommend Bruna to anyone and are already looking forward to bringing Peaches back to her in the future!”
“How could you top this? Ainla took care of our beagle Berry as if she (Berry) was her own. She gave us numerous updates throughout the day, properly balanced between play and rest time, and showed tremendous passion to accommodate Berry's needs. Ainla's neighborhood is safe, quiet, and she has a nice backyard for the dogs to play. After a single visit, my wife and I decided to stick with her. I strongly recommend Ainla for those who want their furry pals be in great hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of different pets since I was 7 years old. I have experience taking care of house pets, farm animals, and exotic pets. I recently completed my Masters of Public Health and working full time. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I own a dog myself, so I am always willing to make time to take care of somebody’s else pet as if it was my own. I enjoy building a connection with the pet first. I want the pet to know that I am not a threat to them and that they can rely on me to support and take care of them. I am detail oriented, which allows me to provide the pet assurance of being in good hands.
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: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. I currently have a one-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer of my own, so I’m very familiar with providing plenty of exercise, attention, and consistent care to keep active dogs happy and healthy. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring new scents, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and provide you with peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m committed to learning each pet’s unique routine and needs. I provide my own dog with a safe, clean, and loving environment. I prioritize daily exercise, enrichment, supervision, and keeping a consistent routine. I’ll provide the same attentive care and attention to every pet I take care of!
About: I have a genuine love for animals and a strong understanding of their needs, which makes me a great pet sitter. I’ve had experience caring for a variety of pets, and I always make sure to provide personalized care for each one. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to connect with animals on a deeper level, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially patient and attentive when working with puppies, senior pets, or animals with special needs. I’m skilled at recognizing behavioral cues, which allows me to train puppies and provide gentle care for senior pets to keep them healthy and happy. My compassionate nature and dedication to their well-being really shine through in the care I give. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to balance my college schedule with taking care of pets. I make time for walks, feeding, and play between classes or in my free time. My flexible schedule lets me provide pets with the attention they need without interfering with my studies or other responsibilities. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. I ensure they have fresh food, clean water, and plenty of space to play and relax. I stick to any routines or instructions provided by the pet owner, whether it’s feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, or special care needs. I also make time for walks, playtime, and cuddling to give them attention and affection. In a client’s home, I’m mindful of their space and maintain cleanliness, ensuring the pet feels at ease while the owner is away.
“Absolutely the best experience we could've asked for! I was unintentionally late and she was very understanding. Sent photos through out the day and made shiro feel at home. I would most certainly recommend to everyone.”

My fiancée works full time from home, allowing me to devote my time to giving our pets and others' pets the care and attention they need (and deserve). I take pet care very seriously and am very attuned to animals' body language. As a veterinary worker, I have been trained to handle any situation in a calm and collected manner. Additionally, I like to ensure proper nutrition, adequate play time and potty breaks, and down time/quiet time when pets are feeling overwhelmed.

David and Korey were fantastic with Peaches! They were able to accommodate us at the last minute and were so responsive throughout. They sent lots of photos and updates during the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We felt so relieved knowing Peaches was well cared for, safe, and comfortable. We will absolutely be back and would highly recommend them to anyone.
It was love at first sight for my dog and Brailey! Lavender immediately gravitated to her warm and affectionate demeanor which is super important for a dog like mine who can be skiddish of new people and environments. They were all hugging and cuddling on the couch which is exactly what Lavender needed from a day visit. Highly recommend Brailey for anyone who may have a dog that needs love and a safe environment for the anxious girlies. Thank you, Brailey!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Tallahassee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Tallahassee on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 128 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Tallahassee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Tallahassee commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 128 sitters in Tallahassee, 83% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
