About: Hi! I'm Charli, and I've been caring for animals in both a professional and personal capacity for several years. I've worked as a bather, groomer, daycare, and veterinary clinic professional for over 5 years, and have experience with all of the following animals: dogs (all sizes), cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, fish, pigs, lizards, birds, & more! I most enjoy house sitting, dog walking, and daytime care, and I am able to travel to the further parts of the Tallahassee metro area upon request. For overnight animal guest needs, I have a home in the Astoria Park area of Tallahassee with a big fenced back yard and 5 animals of my own (2 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 ferret). All of our animals are great with other pets and love to meet new friends. If needed, we can also set up a room your pet can have all to themselves. Pet care is my everyday priority! 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.
About: Hey there! I've grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes, from playful pups to cuddly seniors. Because of that, I'm super comfortable handling dogs with different needs, whether it's separation anxiety or just general high anxiety. I'm all about creating a calm and happy environment for your furry friend! Incorporating pet care into my daily schedule is seamless and enjoyable. I prioritize dedicated time slots for feeding, walking, and playing with the pets under my care, ensuring their needs are met.By integrating pet care into my routine, I create a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle that benefits both myself and the animals I look after. In clients' homes, I focus on making pets feel secure and cherished. I stick closely to the owner's instructions for meals, meds, and exercise, keeping things familiar and stress-free for the animals. I also make sure to spend quality time playing, cuddling, and keeping their space neat and clean. My goal is to give both the pets and their owners peace of mind by being respectful and attentive to their needs.
About: Hi! I’m Jillian, a current master’s student at Florida State with a deep love for animals. I grew up with two cats and have fostered five dogs over the past four years, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with different pet personalities. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. If you'd prefer to meet or go over instructions beforehand, I’m happy to come by to make sure everything goes smoothly. I’m not only an animal lover, but also very reliable and detail-oriented. Feel free to reach out with any questions or pet care needs! I am a student living near Florida State's campus and taking classes. That being said, I can do drop-ins during the day, spend the night with advance notice, and work out a schedule that works best for you. My classes are in the mornings and afternoons, depending on the day, so please reach out to me for more information and specific schedules. I am there for the pet's needs, so I am willing to adapt to the schedule provided by the owners. Whether that be neighborhood walks, going to a pet park, or spending a certain amount of time with the animal. I am very flexible and can be there for your animal's needs,
About: I've been taking care of dogs for the last 10 years but professionally for two. Whether it's by my neighbors, my friends, my family or my clients, they have always been able to rely on me to feed, walk, groom, take care of their dogs whether it was for the afternoon or for a week-long vacation, I've never let them down. I'm currently a full-time student at Tallahassee State College, my schedule varies depending on the day, but I am typically available on the weekends and anytime after 1:00 p.m. on the weekdays.No matter what day it is. Rain, sleet shine or snow I will always make sure to find time for your pet! I love to take care of all animals! I always ensure that I keep their personalities and routines properly cared for. I do have quite a few pets at home which makes boarding difficult. I do not have a problem coming over to a client's house to take care of their pets. Where I treat their house with the utmost respect.
“Sara was awesome with Creek! She was super easy to communicate with and asked great questions regarding my pups needs and went above and beyond to meet them. The pictures and updates were a plus too! Great experience.”
About: My experience as a pet sitter sprouts directly from my heart! Loving your animals in addition to my reliability, communication, and responsibility is why this job was meant for me. I have been pet sitting for a very long time, and treating your pets like my own is my #1 priority. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly schedule like it’s an academic class. I am a college student at Florida State and have lots of pockets during my day to spend time with your pets! When I meet and greet I try to take in as much information about the pets and their owners as possible, so when I enter their home to care for their pets I can do everything for the pet that owners would do!

We were thrilled to have her house sit for our girls. She took great care of both Nelly and Stella. Keeping us up to date with videos and photos throughout her stay. When weather delayed our return home, she started an additional night. We're grateful for her flexibility and care. I would definitely recommend her!
We recently moved to the area and were looking for someone trustworthy to watch our dog—I'm so glad we found Lillie! She was available to meet beforehand, which really helped ease our minds. Our dog can be a little nervous around new people in his home, but Lillie handled him with ease. Throughout the stay, she did a fantastic job. Her communication was great, and she sent plenty of photos and updates that showed our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in her hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
Jackson has helped me out with my dog, Frankie, and now Frankie and new addition, El. He's naturally great with my dogs, very comfortable and they like him. He's also very dependable and a nice person. I definitely recommend him for anyone needing walking, sitting, etc.
Emma is so compassionate and responsible! We have three cats, and one of them is very shy and anxious. Our anxious cat usually hides in cabinets when we’re gone in the evening. When we decided to take a two-week trip, we were really nervous—but we felt so much better after meeting Emma. Just a couple of days into our trip, we received pictures of our precious cat sitting on her lap! When we came home, all three cats were happy and relaxed, and our house was well taken care of. We even found an amazing sketch of our cat, which we’ve proudly displayed. If you're heading out on a trip, do your pets a favor and book Emma!
Olivia is so wonderful! She truly went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt comfortable and happy. She was extremely patient with his anxiety issues and quirks. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, playful, and dependable sitter who will go the extra mile for your pet.
Sabrina was an amazing pup sitter for Sailor Mae. She reassured us that our young pup would get plenty of exercise and play. Sabrina was flexible with her work schedule and arrangements to make sure that sailor could split the time between homes. Thanks Sabrina!
Jourdan did an excellent job watching our senior dog. He has several eye medications that he gets multiple times a day and she was very on top of giving them to him. She was very communicative and we didn’t worry about our dog once. Would absolutely rebook with her again!
We had a wonderful experience with Nicole! She took care of our fur babies for a week and was incredibly attentive, sending regular lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares—our pups were clearly happy and well loved. Highly recommend her!
Madeline was amazing. She is a natural with dogs. My 3 year old toy poodle has separation anxiety and I had to leave for an event and I must say Milo was very comfortable with Madeline and I can tell he slept through the night. She is very accommodating and I am very glad to say that I’ve come home to a happy little pup! I soo happy to finally find someone that I can trust to take care of my baby.
