“Mimi was the best choice for our fur babies. They immediately fell in love with her and she treated them as her own. I would 100% recommend her for any cat sitting inquiries. She always kept us posted with how they were doing and sent us loads of super cute photos of them. The cats were very happy to be under her care. Thank you so much!!!”
“Madeleine was the best!! Booked last minute after boarding cancelled on me day before leaving on a trip. She was amazing!! From communication to timelines on check-ins, 10/10!! ❤️”
“Fantastic sitter! Shes watched my kitty twice and went above and beyond this second visit. My cat had an accident and she cleaned it all and washed the blanket. Spent extra time with her and gave her plenty of attention. Louisa is very communicative when stopping by, keeps you updated on what's going on. Highly recommend!”
“I loved having Jordan check in on my pups! She did a fantastic job caring for my dogs and an even better job communicating with us. I truly felt like my dogs were being well taken care of and I would 100% use her services again to dog sit. Thank you Jordan!!”
About: As an aspiring vet, it is my duty to ensure the health and welfare of any animal in my care. I make sure to carefully observe and notate any abnormalities while pet sitting to make sure any issues are caught early on Currently working part-time as a veterinary assistant, on my journey to come a veterinarian, pet care is my everyday life and has been for the past 5 years. I have easy access to a large dog park, and open fields so plenty of outside time is used. My home is also very spacious, plenty of roaming around space with a fenced deck for sunbathing as well
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.
“Katherine did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She came yesterday, spent quality time with him, and put a lot of effort into making sure he was fed properly. She was patient, caring, and attentive to his needs. I really appreciate the time and dedication she showed, and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Taylor was excellent with Maggie. She also handled a key issue (totally my fault) calmly when I was definitely not calm since we were literally taking off on a 5.5 hour flight. 100% would recommend and will have Taylor take care of Maggie again!”
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.
“samantha was amazing! she was such a big help and gave the best post drop in summaries to me, putting me at ease. the photos were adorable and she was a great communicator! definitely gonna book with her again. my cats loved her!”
“Kelly did great with our 2 dogs. One of them has a lot of energy and the other struggles with anxiety but she handled both of them well. She gave them lots of love while we were away!”

“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’ve had dogs my whole life, and let’s just say they’ve all been a whole package! From our permanent ones to foster ones, old and young, breeds all over the board, they all shared the love you can only find in a dogs heart. From training puppies to teaching old dogs new tricks, spending time with such gentle souls brings a happiness I can no longer live without. They go the whole mile for us, so it’s only right we do the same for them! I’m currently in school and working part time, but still finding so much time in my days and what better way to fill it than with making new pet friends! I’ve got a short schedule with lots of extra and flexible time on my hands. Although I get a head start in making your pets comfortable within their own home, I always approach gently and only strict when needed. I’ve handled many differently tempered dogs and have gotten good at keeping a situation under control and keeping everyone involved safe is extremely important to me.
“Katherine has been awesome! This has been super easy and she has taken such great care of my babies, has been on time each visit and sends pictures. 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.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Tallahassee is $19

Madeline is amazing!! August loves her. So nice to get updates, pictures and videos, it’s the highlight of my very stressful day at work. It’s nice to work and not have to worry about my baby as I know Madeline will make sure he’s all good. Thank you so much!!
Samantha was absolutely fantastic. Our first time using rover and Samantha made the process so easy and took our worries away. Our dog can be very shy and Samantha took the time to get to know him and create a bond. I couldn’t recommend her more. We will definitely be booking again :))
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!
Brooke was an excellent caretaker to my cats while I was away at the beach. She sent pics and videos and really made being away completely worry free. My cats warmed up to her quickly, which is something they don't normally do, which is a testament to her kind nature and natural instincs when watching someone's pets. She is as good as it gets. Cat Sitter Extraordinaire!! Highly recommend.
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!
Katherine did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She came yesterday, spent quality time with him, and put a lot of effort into making sure he was fed properly. She was patient, caring, and attentive to his needs. I really appreciate the time and dedication she showed, and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.
Julia was amazing with Kitten. My girl needs an assortment of medication and scheduled feeding, with her background as a vet tech, this was not an issue for Julia. Even better, Kitten, as grumpy as she is when someone comes into her space, allowed for the meds to be administered and decided not to be a total recluse. She ate, and is happy (not with me but generally). 100% honestly I have never felt this comfortable leaving Kitten to be cared for by someone else, so I will definitely rebook with Julia the next time I need a sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Tallahassee on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 535 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:
- 93% 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.
