“Kat was amazing! I have two troublesome dogs, and Kat was extremely accommodating of them. She was patient, understanding, and put up with all of their nonsense. She sent pictures, and reassured me that my babies were doing well. I could not have asked for a better sitter!”

“Emily did a great job! I got pics and updates every day, she sat with the dogs through 4th of July (never fun) and she left the house cleaner than I left it for her (embarrassing, but very nice).”


About: I love dogs but I currently can't afford to care for one of my own considering pet deposit, food, and etc. Having a dog in the house makes things overall better. I have been dogsitting/house-sitting for multiple years to fill that hole. I also love to take a lot of walks to stay in shape and having a curious little four-legged friend to accompany me makes them that much more enjoyable. I currently only work part-time so I have plenty of free time and go to the park and on walks. But, if your dog just likes to hang out indoors and watch TV, I'm cool with that as well. I live in a duplex with a nice fenced in backyard for running around in.

“Kayla was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my two cats, sent me adorable pictures and videos while I was away, and made me feel completely at ease. She’s dependable, kind, and treated my boys like her own. I came home to happy, well-fed cats and everything perfectly in order. I truly appreciate her reliability and the love she shows for animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again — highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! ❤️🐾”


“Taylor looked after my fur baby while i went away for a weekend trip. She stayed at my house, and everythihng was good when i returned. My fur baby looked happy. Some initial issues with communication and amendments to dates, but worked with Taylor to resolve the issue and everything, thankfiully, worked out.”


“Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I've been dog sitting for over a year and had my own dogs for more than 7 years. Caring for animals genuinely makes me happy, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I don't see Rover as just a job, it's more like a hobby that I really enjoy. Since I can't have a dog of my own right now, caring for other people's dogs allows me to enjoy their company and give them lots of love and attention I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy multiple walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of companionship. I live in a spacious home with a large backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. Since I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, pets receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I always follow each pet's routine and owner's instructions carefully to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care ❤️🐶
“Lillyana is wonderful! My babies love her and she is always willing and able to help out last minute, which is so appreciated!! I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is a repeat sitter for me!”

“Charli just house-sat for me for the first time and did an awesome job. My 4 dogs and cat loved her and were obviously well cared for. Charli dropped by before my trip to meet the pets and she was obviously happy to meet them and took in all the instructions despite have a bit of a crazy household at the time. Charli communicated consistently and sent plenty of pictures while sitting and left the house in perfect order. I hope Charli is an available when I need someone to take care of my pets, and would recommend her to anyone else.”

About: I work full time as a lead emergency veterinary technician. Love spending time with all animals from puppies, seniors all the way to being there for end of life care. Available for in home boardings, mine or yours. Cuddle and play time are important so I make sure I spend as much time with your baby so they are stress feee and comfortable. I have a fenced in yard. All animals allowed on the furniture. I want it to feel like they are home when they are here.

About: As a pet owner myself, I know pets are truly family. I currently have two dogs—a Black and Tan Coonhound and a Beagle—as well as a cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. All of them are spoiled with love, attention, long walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Because I have experience with both dogs and cats in my own home, I understand their different personalities and needs. I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and affection that I give my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own who I care for every day. I am currently home for summer break from college, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I can give pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, and any specific care preferences. For dog walking, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks with plenty of exercise and attention. For pet visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, are let out if needed, and get quality playtime and affection. For house sitting, I provide companionship, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed in their own environment while their owner is away. I always treat every pet as if they were my own and respect the client’s home with care and responsibility.
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs and a cat at home and even raised a puppy and a kitten, so I know the patience, care, and attention they need. From playful pups and kittens to senior dogs and cats, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well-exercised. Whether it’s energetic walks or gentle care, I’m here to provide top-notch attention for your furry friend! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit in plenty of walks and playtime throughout the day. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I can work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the care and exercise they need! I provide attentive and personalized care in your home. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment, sticking to their routine for feeding, walks, and playtime.
“Carolina was amazing with my pup Riley. He is 15 years old and requires a lot of extra care, including strict medication schedules, timed feedings, and regular walks. He isn’t the easiest dog to look after, but Carolina was attentive, reliable, and very hands-on with his care. She sent frequent photo updates and kept me consistently informed, which gave me so much peace of mind. As an older chihuahua, Riley can be a little grumpy (okay, sometimes mean), but Carolina was completely unfazed and handled him with so much patience and gentleness. I felt totally comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She is a wonderful sitter, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.”

“Erika was great and I highly recommend her! She took care of my dogs while I was away and gave me updates throughout including pictures. She administered meds to my senior dog and handled my reactive dog so well! She is someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your pets. I will definitely work with her again!”

“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my two boys! She communicated well and sent pictures, which gave me great peace of mind! Will definitely book with her again!”

“Caroline was absolutely wonderful! She saved the day, booking on short notice, and took wonderful care of my babies. I received thoughtful updates and funny pictures that assured me they were all having a wonderful time. Benny and Arlo look forward to having her back!”

About: There’s more to pet care than just being an animal lover. It requires a degree of commitment, trustworthiness, and responsibility. When I take care of a pet, my priority is in maintaining its routine, its comfort, and overall physical and mental wellbeing (in addition to having fun of course). Your pet deserves to be cared for and treated like family, even when you’re away! In addition to having long term experience with house and pet sitting, I used to volunteer in my free time to walk dogs at the SPCA in my hometown. I have experience administering injectable medications for a diabetic cat, and oral medication for a dog. I’m a student at Florida State University, going into my third year this fall. For the summer semester, my schedule is incredibly open, so I’m looking for fun and helpful jobs to fill my time. I only take one class in the morning (9:45-11:50) and the rest are online. I will have plenty of time before and after class to provide pet care services, so do not hesitate to reach out! I aim to adhere as closely to a pet’s regular schedule as possible. I want your animal to feel comfortable and safe, and when sitting, keep the house as clean and orderly as it was left.
“She was GREAT with my babies and she took really good care of my home. She even contacted me about an issue one of them was having but had already took steps to help fix it. I’ll definitely use her again. She’s the best.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Tallahassee is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tallahassee
We absolutely loved Carolina! She was communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and took wonderful care of our two cats and our home. She even went above and beyond by taking care of the litter boxes, even though we told her she didn’t need to. She’s incredibly trustworthy, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. We can’t wait to book with her again!

Mac is amazing! She took wonderful care of our three cats in our home for a week. She sent us photos every day, kept us updated, and was always so positive and communicative. We had complete peace of mind knowing our cats were well cared for. When we returned home, the house was spotless! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with Mac again. Highly recommend!
Lacy was great to work with; understanding and was able to adjust when we had to modify our travel plans. She also did a meet and greet prior to booking. She stayed at our house while we were out of town for a little over a week, giving us peace of mind knowing that someone was here at our home looking not only over our animals, but over our property. She sent updates and pictures every day and followed our instructions for pet care well. She notified us when one of our cats got his pet tracking collar off, that a tree branch had fallen in our road, and would reach out if she had any questions about anything. Our animals really enjoyed her company and even had our more hesitant/avoidance cat eventually come around.

Kate was AWESOME and took such good care of Gideon and Hypnos. She sent us pictures while we were gone, and we felt so assured that our boys were well-loved in our absence. Leaving one's pets and home in someone else's hands can feel nerve-wracking, but Kate made us feel so comfortable and we will definitely be booking again!

Melanie has taken care of our pups for several vacations and she has been absolutely wonderful! She always communicates frequently, sends us photos, and she does a great job managing my special needs husky and giving her medication. She went the extra mile for us during the last visit and made a trip to the store for something we ran out of. Our pups love her and we highly recommend her!

Natianna was absolutely amazing! My fur babies took to her so quickly! Murphy immediately and my super shy Stevie who never warms up quickly to anyone was her best buddy in two short days! Natianna mitigated a minor insect issue after some heavy rain in our patio area without being asked and our home was tidier than we left it. I highly recommend booking with Natianna and I hope I’m able to book her in the future 😊🐾❤️

Isaac was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! Super caring, attentive, and really took the time to understand our dog’s needs. He spent the whole weekend playing with him and making sure he was happy and comfortable. On top of that, he surprised us with a beautiful sketch of our dog, which was such a thoughtful touch. We came home to a very happy pup and couldn’t recommend him more!

Cabria is by far and away the BEST pet sitter we have EVER had!! I am so glad we found her on rover, and I cannot recommend her enough as a pet sitter. She sat for our Golden Retriever and 4 cats, and sent constant updates with pics and videos. She is the sweetest, also and our fur babies absolutely LOVE her as much as we do. And to top it off, she leaves the house squeaky clean....Honestly, I have never come home to a cleaner house after being away!! And wait, that is not all, she baked and left us chocolate chip cookies to welcome us home! I really cannot even describe in this review how wonderful and amazing Cambria is!! We will be booking her for every trip we have that she is available for, love, love, love her!!!!!

5 stars does not do Blakely justice. She came by days in advance to meet my dog and get familiar with her. The genuine sincerity she has not only as a dog lover but as a person was glaring from the start. I’ve booked multiple Rovers in the past few years but this one was different, it was like she was family with my dog from the start. And I thought I couldn’t be more happy with her until she actually did the sitting. She arrived when she told me she would, she went above and beyond anything I could have expected with pics, videos, and instant communication. I have never left my dog and felt so at ease (even with family) as I did leaving her with Blakley. The attention to detail and the things she did to make my dog happy and spoil her was exceptional! I can assure you, you will not find a better person (not just sitter, but person) to keep your pet, she is as good as it gets! I more than highly recommended her and I guarantee you’ll feel the same way I do. Book her now! But, only if I don’t need her (haha) because she will be my sitter and my dogs friend for as long as possible! Thank you Blakely!!! What an incredible experience and day you gave my little girl, and I could not be more appreciative!!! 🧡💙

This is our first time using Rover and Caroline was absolutely amazing! We were able to go on vacation and not have to worry about our dog and cat being loved and played with while we were gone. She sent us regular updates and pics letting us know how things were going and it was wonderful coming back to our pets in their home environment instead of picking up from boarding and having to reacclimate them to their schedule. We will definitely use Caroline again and appreciate her professionalism and friendly demeanor.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tallahassee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tallahassee on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 320 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tallahassee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Tallahassee walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Tallahassee maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tallahassee. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
