“Iomar was fantastic ! We are so grateful she was able to come play with our pups and kitty, the pictures were great and a lot of fun. They looked so thoroughly happy and joyful to have Iomar visit, it’s obvious they adore her. Definitely we will book again <3”
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 am a vet tech with 10 years of experience in the field. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I pet sit for friends and family and am happy to share my services with those in need. I love dogs and cats to my core. I work full time at a specialty vet clinic in town. I have Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off to spend time socializing with your pets. From 7-8:30 am on a typical work day will be spent getting pets ready for the day. Feeding breakfast, morning meditations if needed, play time in the fenced yard. Then from 12-1 will be when they are let out again during my lunch break. From 3-7 someone that lives in the house is home to check on the needs of the pets in the house. After 7 I will be home for dinner time, play time, and getting ready for bed. I have a spare bedroom dedicated for boarding pets. I have a play pen, and dog crates if needed. I have a fenced in yard. All my furniture in my house is pet friendly. I have dogs and cats that live in my home and are friendly with other dogs and cats. Also a meet and greet beforehand is always a good idea.
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.
“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. 😊”
“Madeline did an outstanding job checking on my 25 lb wire haired terrier, Dahlia. She verified instructions beforehand, filmed her entering the apartment and meeting Dahlia, shared lots of pics with me, and messaged me details about the visit. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats as pets since I was born! I have experience taking care of neighbor’s pets overnight, and love going for long walks with furry friends. I’m currently training for a 10k, so if your puppy likes to run, I’m happy to take them along with me! I have experience with both large and small dogs, and currently have four large dogs in my family home that I grew up with. I have experience in giving medications to senior dogs, as well as providing comfort care. I also have experience caring for rabbits, as I had one as a pet for 8 years. I currently work as a graduate student at FSU, and have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies! I am also available all day on weekends, including Fridays, for pets that prefer someone constantly home. I love going for long walks around Tallahassee, so dogs with lots of energy would fit perfectly with that. I also enjoy lounging around and taking short strolls if your pet is more low-energy. I can crate a dog if necessary, and am not stranger to animals with strange dietary needs (my own dogs are extremely picky eaters). I have experience giving medications to dogs, cats, and rabbits as well.
“I need a dog sitter last minute and Katherine was responsive and able to take care of my dog. I received lots of updates and Katherine remained in communications about when she visited and how her visits went. I would highly recommend Katherine as a pet sitter. She was just great.”
About: I am new to the business of dog walking and dog sitting, but I have been around dogs the majority of my life. Growing up my family had three dogs, and currently I have a seven year old rescue dog, named Arya, whom I had adopted in 2019. I have lived in Tallahassee for almost 8 years now, so I am very familiar with the area. Looking forward to this experience! While I used to be employed as a TA at FSU when I was a graduate student, I am currently unemployed and searching for research positions as a biologist. My days consist currently of job applications, so I hace a flexible schedule. My own dog is a mutt, mixed with pitbull and Rottweiler, so I know there is no such thing as "a bad breed." I will treat all dogs with the same love and care.
“Savannah did such an amazing job taking care of our sweet Rocco! He is a big boy with some medical issues and she catered to him and made sure he got his meds! Would definitely use her again and recommend others to her!”
“Melanie is such a caring caretaker for my cat and such a reliable professional. Every day, she sent me updates and pictures. She always goes above and beyond. My furry baby is always happy with her!”
“Kelly was able to schedule a drop-in visit at short notice so I could travel to see family for the day. She was responsive, professional and attentive. I was able to enjoy my trip without concern. Moki was calm and happy when I returned. Will use Kelly again, and recommend.”
“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!”
“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”
“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 had a Jack Russel Terrier as a kid up until I was 15 years old. I haven’t had a dog since and I have never had cats but rest assured I know how to care for both! My dog died in 2018 and shortly after in 2019 I ended up getting 2 hamsters, and shortly after my animal list grew! I have 3 degus, 2 hamsters, 1 crested gecko, 1 halmahera giant gecko, 2 gerbils and 4 snails! They are all enclosed so the animals I board won’t be able to get to them! My love for animals runs deeper then most and I can assure that your pets will be in safe hands! I can walk your dogs for up to 2 hours everyday if needed! I am a high school student at the moment and graduating in 2021 so I do have school during the day but I am online and not in person so I have the time to care for your dog or cat! I live with my mom and she works from home so that’s another person in the house to help me out if I need it! I work for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services! I work 9 hour days but will be able to come back home during lunch for most house sittings, if not I will communicate that in advance. I will do whatever you need for your pets and customize my routine at your home to your liking! I live in a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home which has a large unfenced yard. Plenty of walking and play space and I’m able to go on daily runs/walks. There is a dog park nearby which I can go to sometimes but not daily. For house sitting I will do whatever you would like me to do for your fur babies! All I want is for them to be happy and healthy!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Tallahassee is $19

Julia stepped up last minute to take care of my cat while he was sick. She did an amazing job monitoring his symptoms, giving him his medication, and keeping me extremely well-informed with thorough updates. Her communication greatly relieved my anxiety while I was away, especially since he wasn’t feeling well. I’m incredibly grateful for how attentive and caring she was. Thank you, Julia!
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.
Analia was communicative and kind but unfortunately there was a significant feeding error during this booking. My cat has a very specific diet and I had instructed that only 1.5 g of a venison topper be given with her wet canned meal. Her partner misread the amount as 15 g and added substantially more than instructed before realizing the mistake. Their partner believes my cat ate around 5/15g before the mistake was realized but that is still a much larger amount than 1.5g. My cat is very sensitive gastrointestinally and is also on a carefully controlled diet to prevent kidney issues, so this was extremely stressful for me as I worry what effects it will have on my cat (I’m currently monitoring her overnight now). I do appreciate that Analia told me what happened, apologized, offered to issue a full refund, did order me more venison topper to make up for the lost amount and took responsibility. However, because accurately following feeding instructions is one of the most important parts of pet care for me and the sole purpose for this drop-in visit, I would not feel comfortable overlooking the error.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Tallahassee on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 564 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tallahassee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tallahassee stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tallahassee. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
