“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!”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Anna and I am currently getting my masters at Boston University. My 3 dogs are back home in FL, so I have decided to become a rover walker to get my puppy fix! I have 2 large and high energy dogs, but experience working with all breeds. I promise your dog will get lots of love and you will get lots of pictures if you book with me! As a graduate student, majority of my classes take place at night. I am left with plenty of time during the day to tend to dogs needs. When caring for a dog in your home I will be sure to meet all of their needs and provide you with updates and information.
About: My name is Kate! I’ve always had animals growing up and most recently I had 4 dogs until I moved for graduate school, where I now live with my one pup. I consider myself to be extremely responsible and motivated by making people happy! As far as dog walking goes, I can walk as long or as often as you need me to. I am available most of the time, especially during the summer. I am available to house sit any time and will clean while I’m there! Overall, I’m looking to keep busy and am extremely flexible. Let me know what you need and I’m probably down for it! If I can help you, let me know!! I’m currently home for the summer, so I have tons of time to spend with some amazing animals! I prioritize my work caring for animals, and for my schedule around it. I am very compassionate and caring towards animals. I have plenty of energy to play with or walk your fur babies, and I am more than capable of the daily tasks and medication administration as well.
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.
“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 grown up surrounded by animals, having two family dogs of my own, and have watched many family’s dogs. From little dogs to 100lb plus dogs, I’m experienced with everything. I’ve volunteered with animal shelters over the past five years where I’ve gotten lots of experience with walking/handling bigger, stronger digs like Pits and Labs. I’ve also helped care for newborns, given medicine, and washed many dogs. I always take lots of pictures to send back home so pet parents can get their daily dose of their furry babies! My weekends are completely free starting Friday, so I can reliably care for your pet the entire long weekend without having to rush. I am your best bet to watch your fur babies for a long weekend getaway! However, I am in my last year at FSU, which means that my schedule during the week is slightly full, and I am on campus a lot. Monday: 1-6; Tuesday: 9-4; Wednesday 9-2; Thursday: 12-6 I would love to have a conversation to see how we can make a schedule work! When I care for pets in my client’s home, I am always respectful of the space and never create a mess. I make sure to spend quality time with the pet in addition to caring for them. When I dog sit, besides walking and feeding, I make sure to spend time playing and socializing with them. I can crate dogs if requested, and I always double check to make sure the house is secure before I leave.
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 have had numerous pets throughout my life and currently have 2 cats. I love animals and frankly have all the time in the world right now during summer to come help you with your pets. I am a full time student at FSU and am currently home for the summer. I can absolutely fit pet care into my daily routine as I am not enrolled in any summer classes. I can pass a background check if needed, (never committed a crime), and can do practically anything you need for your animals, feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, or just spending time with them.
About: I have cared for dogs of all kinds since a very young age. I have loved animals my whole life and when I was 9, I successfully convinced my parents to let us foster animals! I have fostered kittens, cats, and dogs of all ages and this gave me experience with taking care of many different scenarios. I have much experience with senior dogs and cats since some of my pets have reached a very old age. I have also raised a puppy starting from 2 months old and she is now 4 years old! For the past 4 years, I have begun pet sitting whether that’s visits during the day or staying overnight with them, as well as dog walking, and cat sitting too. Your pets would be in very good care with me, and I can’t wait to meet so many new furry faces! I am currently a college student, but I have over a month off of school for thanksgiving and winter break, so would love to make some extra money during those weeks! I am pretty flexible during my day and week schedule. I am comfortable caring for your pets in your home! I will keep them safe and make sure they feel comfortable and loved for in their own home!
“Kelly did a great job with our kittens while we were away, she was prompt and gave us great updates. Our kittens enjoyed her company & we would definitely book her again.”
About: Hey there! I'm Aylee, your friendly neighborhood dog lover and experienced sitter! I grew up with dogs, giving me over 30 years of pet care under my belt. I'm ready to provide awesome care for your pup (or pups!)! Each dog gets personalized TLC, tailoring to their specific needs. From puppies to big barkers, I've got 'em all covered! Special attention? No sweat, I'm a pro at medicine administration and extra cuddles. My own dog is a senior gal (who recently passed) who was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder when she was very young, so I am well-versed in caring for sick pups that need special attention. During their stays, your pup will get plenty of playtime, belly rubs, and ear scratches! And you'll get regular updates and adorable photos! I work from home. This enables me to adapt my work day to meet the needs of you and your pets. They will never be alone long. I make sure to ask for and follow any and all instructions, stick to schedules (unless the pup begs for more playtime) and meal plans.
“Natianna is awesome!! She is so sweet, ready to administer meds as needed, and did a wonderful job with our highly stubborn English Bulldog. She’s also a vet tech which is such a huge bonus and piece of mind!! We highly recommend her ☺️”
“Yoleyka was fabulous to work with, very quick to respond to texts. Our pups can sometimes be a little hesitant when first meeting new people, but they really liked her from the first moment. We will be booking with her again. 😁”
“You are literally the best and I’m so thankful that you were able to watch her on such short notice. I think Mavis was obsessed w you based off the funny pictures. Thank you again!!!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting around my community for over 5 years. I’ve taken care of an array of pets- from small and calm to big and upbeat- I am able to adapt to all needs. I also dog sat several times for a poor pup that was paralyzed from the waist down, so I have strong experience in changing diapers, bathing, and attending to the needs of disabled pets. I am currently enrolled in classes at Florida State University but am back in my hometown of Parkland, Florida for the summer! My availability is almost entirely free as I unfortunately haven’t secured a part time summer job but my calendar will be updated regularly if anything comes up. I am very attentive when taking care of others pets. I am very punctual when it comes to feeding and walking times. I also really enjoy the company of animals so I will not only care for the basic needs of the pets but also will spend my time playing with them and providing them with entertainment.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Tallahassee is $18
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tallahassee
Iomar did a fabulous job taking care of my mom's cat. Bubbles was shy at first but Iomar was patient each visit and by the 3rd day, she was Bubbles new best friend. She kept us well updated after each visit including pictures and sometimes videos. We highly recommend her if you need a cat sitter!
Jack was a great pet companion!! He spent lots of quality time with my dog Lilly, and Lilly looked forward to his every visit. He would also let me know if I was running low on any of Lilly’s supplies. I highly recommend him and will use him again if I need a sitter. He also was great at taking in any packages that arrived during the day so they didn’t sit outside until I came home after work.
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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 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 November 2026, there are 537 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 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
