“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.”
“Can't recommend Jordan highly enough. She clearly loves animals, and she did a great job of taking care of The Bandit and keeping us updated. She also came by beforehand to meet him and to make sure she understood our instructions, and was generally very accommodating despite our first booking being on relatively short notice. Will definitely be booking again :)”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I have cared for dogs and pets for family, friends, and neighbors over the years, including feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on pets while their owners were away. I am reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I take pet safety seriously. As a Marine Corps veteran, I understand responsibility, consistency, and trust. I will treat your pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I can plan my day around walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins. I make sure each pet gets reliable care, affection, and supervision while their owner is away. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for the owner’s instructions. I make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, safe playtime, and a calm environment. I am careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, and any special needs. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable, safe, and well cared for as if they were my own.
“Iomar took excellent care of our cat and guinea pigs! We received lots of adorable photos while we were away, and it was clear they were well taken care of. We would book 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.
“Lillian did an excellent job caring for my 3 cats while I was on vacation. She sent daily updates and was very timely with her visits. I would definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“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: I’ve personally kept animals of all sizes and breeds for family members and myself. I currently have a mixed breed dog I rescued and kitten I rescued. I am extremely passionate about animals and I love helping people in any way I can. I am currently working a full time job on weekdays but my weekends are free to walk, stop in, or house sit for your pups or kitties! I am very good at following instructions so I usually take care of pets as closely as the owner would, with specific details on how you take care of them. I am very careful with the animal as well, speaking calmly and interacting sweetly.
“Myla is awesome at helping me with training for my new puppy! Sent videos of training sessions to help me evaluate his progress when I wasn’t home. It’s clear she understands puppy psychology and has great instincts for working with my 11 week old! Definitely a great investment for repeat visits!”
About: I’ve dog and cat sit for years back home in Pensacola. I love animals so so much that I almost decided to major in veterinary studies. I take special care of each animal I am trusted with and love getting to know them and their specific needs! I’m current doing online classes at FSU, so I have a very flexible schedule! I can push my class work to fit around your schedule! I will only take your dog into areas where you are comfortable them being taken. If that is around the neighborhood or a dog park that is up to you!!!
“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!”
“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!”
“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 always loved helping animals around my neighborhood, I’ve helped friends and family take care of their furry friends by feeding, walking, spending time with and cleaning up after their pets. I have a boxer ♥️ and have lived with numerous cats!! I find that most animals can sense my good vibes and I also just love animals!! I’m a student Monday-Friday but have a lot of availability Tuesdays and Thursdays, and am free Wednesdays after 3pm and Fridays after 1pm. I’m pretty flexible however and just love being around pets since mine are at home :’) I have 2 cat roommates who’ve been around multiple dogs but of course can be a little skittish at first but I live by a dog park that I could easily walk dogs around. I think it’d be easier for me to come to you but I’m open to taking your pet out if you’d prefer as well!!

Samantha did an amazing job with our dog who has a few quirks, she loved on him so well and went the extra mile to make sure he was taken care of while we were gone. She was extremely reliable and communicative and I would use her again on any occasion. Thank you so much Samantha!
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!
We had a wonderful experience with Brianna! She took great care of our cats, kept us updated, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. As an added bonus, she also checked our mail regularly, which was incredibly helpful. We came home to happy cats and everything in perfect order. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
Loved her service. She was always on time and played with Hazel (my bunny) when she showed for the drop in visits. Followed instructions well and completed what was asked of her. I really appreciated the pictures and journal cards I received for every visit, especially since it was my first time leaving Hazel alone with a sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Tallahassee on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 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.
