“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“HIGHLY recommended! Mimi was absolutely wonderful and we will definitely work with her again! She was thoughtful, thorough, consistent, kind, caring and patient! Our cats LOVED her and honestly looked for her after the booking ended.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets. My parents also used to be breeders. I’ve watched pets. I have a bunch of pets. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve been around pets. I’ve changed pets specifically I’ve had between one dog to six at a time. I’m very used to cats and dogs. Pet care I do it every single day when I get home from school like washing our dogs weekly, feeding them and doing just things on a weekly monthly or daily scheduled based on each of our pets needs and what animal it is. Like if it is our cats, dogs, or our turtle I treat all animals with care as if they’re like children. I think it’s very important to treat animals with care or like they’re another human because they cannot communicate and I believe showing trust in an animal is extremely important. I will always have treats on me just in case All of the pets in my home experience constant love and they’re always around people and very social.
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
“Kelly did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 kitties. She made sure they had what they needed and paid extra attention to our kitty with slight stomach issues. She went above and beyond making sure things at the house were in good care as well. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I am a pre- veterinary student with years of experience. I have worked at shelters, vet clinics, farms, and pet sitting. My goal is to gain as much animal experience as I can before I make my way to vet school. I am currently working part time since I am a full time student. I have free gaps throughout the days so I am filling them in with pet sitting. I can easily crate your pet if needed. I will also give my undivided attention to your pets and keep them active if asked to.
“Alexandra is very kind and professional. She's perfect for our cat, which unfortunately wasn't always the case with other pet sitters. We've hired her three times already. She handles our cat wonderfully and makes adorable videos while talking to him. We highly recommend Alexandra!”
About: Everyone who knows me knows I am a dog lover, therefore I have been responsible for taking care of many dogs in my community! I love to take my dogs to trails for lots of exercise! My personal dog is a rescue with a strong hunting instinct; therefore, I have experience with strong dogs who are tough to walk. I am a college student with classes in the morning. My schedule varies day to day, but my love for dogs will make me help out whenever I can! Dogs in my care will get plenty of exercise and love. At home, me and my dog stay very active. I miss her very much while in college and would love to further the fun with dogs here!
About: I grew up with a Rottweiler named diamond. She got old and had arthritis so she needed medication at a certain time. Her walks had to be timed and within mobility. I am a full-time student my classes usually end early to mid afternoon, so my time is a little bit more flexible typically I have an hour to two hours in between certain classes. Since growing up with animals, I’m always on high alert whenever I hear like a rustle of a bag or weird noise coming from pets I’m on my feet and checking out what they’re doing and what they’re getting into for their safety. I also try to keep things that are hazardous for animals out of their reach or put up in my home. I have child box on cabinets in my kitchen and my medicine cabinet .
About: Hello! I currently have two rescues doggies, Cricket and Sunny, who are both amazing mixed breed dogs. Growing up I’ve had all different types of dogs with ages ranging from 3 weeks to 15 y/o. I have experience with both blind and deaf dogs, and can administer medicine with ease. I am currently studying exercise physiology at Florida state but have ample time for visits and play dates! Im more than happy to set up meet-and-greets with your animals to make sure I’m a good fit for your family as well as vice versa. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns! I’m currently a sophomore student at Florida State University! I only have one morning class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so I am free afterwards for any visits. In clients homes, I will always be very respectful and understand boundaries and client wishes. Primarily, I will be prioritizing the safety and happiness of the animal; however, I would love to learn any personal quirks and make sure they feel the utmost comfort with me.
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.
About: My experience with animals goes beyond caring for my personal household pets for 13 years and my volunteering with shelters/rescues for 3 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I take the time to pay attention to those individual differences rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, social, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel secure and comfortable in your absence. Your pet’s safety, routine, and wellbeing are always my priority. I’m available Monday through Friday, as well as weekends, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. My schedule is flexible allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care and accommodate different pet routines and needs. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine and provide the specific care they’re booked for, while also paying attention to the little things that make them feel loved and at ease.
“Very much appreciate Meghan's help in taking such great care of my cat Cooper. I felt great leaving Cooper in her hands. She provided update photos, was timely, etc - all the good stuff.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tallahassee
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Tallahassee is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 558 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tallahassee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
