“Kendall and Matthew (and family) did an amazing job. The dogs were still tired on Monday. It's obvious that they had a great time. Easy drop-off and pick-up, lots of pics, and happy dogs. Can't say any more. Will definitely be using again.”
“Madelyn took such great care of Kali! I could tell he’d been running around a lot and getting all the love and attention he could want. He came home happy, tired, and clearly spoiled in the best way. I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Madelyn again!”
About: I have owned or cared for my own dogs my entire life. Having lost my senior 'Stanley' last year I find myself longing for a dog's company and spirit. My own dogs have lived long lives - two for 18 years, one for 17 so I know how to give meds and care for their special needs. Stanley's petsitter recommended I try Rover - so here I am! I can come to your house, or bring your dog here to my 1/2 acre fenced in yard, with a dog door to the house and lots of time to share with your pet. I am retired and in Tallahassee or the vicinity walking or meeting up with friends. I have lots of free time to share with your pet. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and a dog door to the house. I have a pool. I can come to your house if needed, or care for your dog here.
“Sarah is amazing! She has taken Kaiser in twice now while we’ve been out of town and he has such a good time and well taken cared of. She consistently provides updates and pictures which is really nice too. I would highly recommend Sarah for watching your pup!”
“It was my first time leaving Sadie and I am so glad I found Heather. She not only took great care of her, but sent me pictures several times everyday to let me know Sadie was doing good. I have already booked Sadie’s next visit.”
“Robert is very nice and was willing to accommodate to my dog’s routine. He was also flexible when my plans changed and I needed to pick up a few hours after the scheduled time. Will be booking with Robert again for my next trip. Highly recommend!”
“Ain is the absolute sweetest and my dog is currently crying because we drove away without her. He loves her two cockerspaniels Caleb and Nelly too. Thank you so much for all of your help and flexibility. 🩵🩵🩵”
“Miss Judy was wonderful for our cat!! We appreciated her love for cats and kindness! Our cat came home unstressed and never had to be medicated like at the vet! Thank you!!!”
“Ayana was very communicative and patient with my hyperactive, anxious Pom. She asked questions whenever she needed more information on his needs (a majorly good sign that he was well-cared for), and she sent lots of pictures of him during his stay! When he came home with me, he seemed very happy and calmer than usual. I believe he fully enjoyed his stay, and I would recommend Ayana to anyone looking for the perfect sitter for their babies. ^v^”
“Colette is so wonderful with Hunter, he really enjoys his time at her house and it makes me feel good knowing he is so well cared for. Colette is great at communicating with us beforehand and throughout the stay, being sure to send pictures and updates. We are a returning customer and feel so lucky to have found Colette. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Yara and her family were so friendly and Oreo fit in well with her crew. She sent pics throughout the stay and kept us updated and was extremely responsive for dropoff and pickup.”
“Nilanie did a great job watching our dog, Lola, while we were out of town for a few days. She sent adorable photos everyday of our pup and provided consistent updates on how she was adjusting. Definitely recommend!”
“Andrea was so wonderful with my pup! She was so responsive and sending constant updates and pictures which was so appreciated. She clearly took great care of my dog and I would 100% leave her with her again!”
“Christy was great! She communicated with me to let me know how things were going and adorable pictures! Hal came home relaxed, happy, and tired! Will totally give her a call next time I need a sitter for my girl!”
“We were happy to have found Katie!. Our senior dog Jack spent the day and night in her home this past Saturday while we made a quick out of town trip. Katie’s house was very convenient and she made Jack feel like part of their family. We enjoyed viewing the video and pics that she sent as well!”
“My fiance and I recently went out of town and this was our first time leaving our dog with people other than family, and Alicia was wonderful! Alicia sent tons of updates and pictures of Lucy throughout the weekend. When Lucy came back home on Sunday evening she was tuckered out so we knew she had a great weekend :) Will definitely use Alicia again and will recommend her to friends as well.”

About: In my childhood I had many cats and I have now had a dog for almost 8 years! I started dog sitting about 3 years ago for my neighbors and I really enjoy it. I have taken care of their dogs while they were on vacation and have also dropped in while they were working. I have been around pets my whole life and I love them! I love going on walks and playing with them and am very passionate about animal care. I currently work part time at a bakery but my schedule is pretty flexible around that. I do school mostly online so work is the only time I wouldn’t be with the pet! I never work in afternoons, only in the mornings. Contact me and I can work a shcedule out for you! I am very diligent about following instructions for your pet and I am respectful of both your space and the pet! I am also very diligent about safety and will do my best to keep an eye on your pet the whole time. I will clean any messes that may be made and check locks before leaving every time. I always make it a habit to check for food, water, any potential messes, and locks every visit.
“Haley did an excellent job. Communication was great. She was very attentive with the dogs and seemed like she truly loved them. I would definitely use her again and would suggest her to family and friends.”
“Megan was great taking care of my kitten!! I’ve never left her alone so I was nervous to but she seemed to enjoy Megan’s company & having someone to play with. No issues at all, definitely recommend 😊”
“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 have a little experience caring for cats, but I absolutely love being around them! I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them attention at their own pace. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I’m patient, gentle, and respectful of their space. Even though my experience is still growing, I’m dependable, caring, and excited to provide a safe and loving environment for your cat.
About: I have had dogs in my household since I was born, and I have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I have had two Golden Retrievers and a rescue from the animal shelter. I also have had guinea pigs and taken care of them for around 10 years. I have watched our neighbor's and my grandfather's dogs on multiple occasions. I am currently on summer break from my academic studies at Florida State University in Biomedical Engineering. I have quite a lot of traveling planned this summer and am looking for a flexible and enjoyable job to fill in my free time. I am quite familiar with dogs of all kinds. If anything would be required during a pet-sitting, I most likely have it in my place of residence (Crate, Treats, Leashes, Toys, etc.).
“Andrew took care of my 2 kitties and made sure things were in order. They both get meds in wet food, so it’s important for someone to be there daily. They were in good hands with him and my shy guy even took to him.”
“The cats were still here, healthy and happy. The house was in good shape. The mail was organized. She was very responsive to calls and sent cat pics. This was my first time with Emilie, but I will certainly try to get her again.”
“Kris is a fantastic cat sitter! In addition to being a fun person to talk to, her strong love and compassion for animals is obvious. My wife and I could relax and enjoy our trip, because we knew our animals were well cared for. We enjoyed her commentary and photos of each visit. We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats while volunteering in a number of foster and nonprofits so I have plenty of experience with temperamental pets and know just what to do to make everyone’s day better!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Felkel
“I’m beyond beyond grateful to Ainla! She took my dog in for the day on only a few hours notice. I’m one of those crazy dog mom’s who is very neurotic about who I leave my dog with but I got a great vibe from Ainla and could tell her loving toward the dogs she is. And throughout the day she humored my requests and sent me tons of photos. She even went above and beyond and took me and my friend to the train station at the end of my dog’s stay. She was such a lovely person to talk with. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!”
“Diane was so welcoming and friendly. It was the first I had left my dog, Bijoux, with a stranger but she put me right at ease. Bijoux loved playing with Diane's son. Diane sent me some cute pictures of them playing. I am already looking at booking future dates for Bijoux with Diane.”

About: I am a CPDT I’m trained in understanding dog body language and know what your dogs need I monitor your dogs all day. I train puppies and will accommodate to your training requests. I also teach agility classes and tricks classes. I have a really nice dog of my own that loves to do agility as well. You can talk to me about what tricks and agility you would like your dogs to know, if this is something that you would like. Your dogs will have a nice playmate as well but I also understand if they need to play by themselves. I am also able to administer meds if needed. Your pups are in great hands and will not be bored at all. I work from home and will have time to train and play with your dogs. I will also be able to bath your pups if wanted or needed but only for dogs that like being bathed I have a fenced in yard that is big and has a separate agility area to train in.

About: I work at FSU (as a 9-month contract faculty), so I'm totally free (full time at home) during the summer. I love dog and I have owned one small dog 'Sadie' since 2013. She is very friendly, enthusiastic and gets along well with other dogs in our neighborhood. Sadie likes walking, so I take her to a walk twice a day in the mornings and in the evenings. I'd like to extend my love to your dog, especially for those who don't have the privilege to take care of their dogs full time. I have a large fenced yard. There is beautiful grass almost everywhere in my neighborhood. I can follow any directions given, and send updates throughout the day if wanted. If you are curious about the dog sitting time lapse in the past three years, that's because we had a baby daughter in the year of 2000. She is now 3 years old and she is a dog lover as well! The other reason is that our dog Sadie was paralyzed and we had to spend a lot time taking care of her. Fortunately she has been recovering very well and now she can walk normally (sometimes with a sling support on her back) as happy as she is always. We have learned how to take good care of a special needs dog. I'm currently on my summer vacation (as a 9-month contract faculty at FSU), so I have plenty of time to play with your pets and take good care of them as I do with my own dog - Sadie. I have a large fenced yard with a large covered patio and a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. With four bedrooms and a large sunroom, I can easily crate your pet or put in a separate (private) room if needed.
“I took my dog to Stacy for daycare and he had so much fun playing all day with the dogs there. He came home very happy and sleepy. From the videos she sent me during the day, you could tell how much she loved having him there, and how much he loved her as well. When I dropped him off, I saw she had many dogs of her own, including adorable puppies, and a few that she was watching. This is a great place to take your dog if they love socializing. I will be rebooking again and again for daycare and overnights.”

About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I started training animals at the age of 16, which helped me learn how to understand different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Our home is full of love—we have two sweet doodles who are part of our family, and two children who absolutely adore animals and enjoy helping give them attention and care. Pets in our home are treated like family, with plenty of patience, affection, and playtime. We are kind, loving people who take pet care seriously. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, structured care, or just a safe and happy place while you’re away, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible daily schedule and allows me to be present with pets throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and affection. In my home, pets are treated like family. I don’t believe in isolating animals—pets are welcome on the couch, in the bed, and anywhere they feel comfortable. I believe cuddles, affection, and feeling safe are just as important as food and walks, so your pet will get plenty of love and attention while staying with us. They will be allowed to play in our large fence yard and pool. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I follow instructions exactly as requested. I respect your routines, rules, and preferences so your pet’s care stays consistent and stress-free. Whether that means crate time, specific feeding schedules, or house rules, I make sure everything is done the way you want.
“Dropped dog off, Nice neigh, nice house. Mathew was personable and friendly. I know my dog enjoyed their dogs and kids. Nice report card and pictures. Plan to use again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Family, friends, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure every pet feels safe and happy. I love making sure pets get all the attention, walks, and playtime they need while their owners are away. I dedicate all my time for your pet. My home is pet safe, clean, and comfortable, so your fur baby will feel right at home. I can crate dogs if needed and always provide supervised outdoor time, lots of cuddles, and constant care to make sure every pet feels safe and loved.
About: I grew up around animals of all kinds — dogs, cats, cows, pigs, and more — so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have two spoiled pups of my own, Milly and RJ, and I treat every pet in my care like family. One thing that sets me apart is that I’m a teacher, so during school breaks and summers I’m home throughout the day and able to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. We also have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run and play. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, attentive, and communicative so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Since it’s summer break, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! We usually start the mornings slowly outside before it gets too warm, giving the dogs time to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air. After breakfast, we spend time relaxing inside where the pups can nap, play, or follow me around while I read or get things done around the house. In the evenings, we head back outside for more playtime, walks, fetch, or whatever activities your dog enjoys most. I’m home throughout the day, so potty breaks, attention, and supervision are never a problem — your pet will get plenty of love and care all day long! 🐾 I will care for your pet like they’re one of my own! 🐾 I know how important routines and comfort are for animals, so I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. Pets in my home will receive lots of attention, love, supervision, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and pets are welcome to relax inside with me just like family. Treats are always given with owner permission, and I’m happy to accommodate any specific instructions or preferences to help your pet feel comfortable and happy while you’re away.
About: I have a 10months dog that I love, is my daughter. Her name is Papaya. I have a routine to walk and play with the ball 3 times and sometimes 4 times a day. When my family and friends need help with their pets I’m always the one because they know how much I love animals. And in my parents house I also have 3 cats that I rescued. I live with my husband, he loves animals too, but he works all the day I’m at home all day with papaya. I’m grateful to take care of your pet. I’m all day at home so I can take care of your pet when needed! I can walk, play, feed, sleep with the pet and give them love. Papaya my dog is so friendly, and she loves share all her pets with other dogs, I have food, I have everything the dog needs to be happy. I always go out with the dog leash and take care with people and others pets. I have in my neighborhood a dog park so I let them play inside de dog park.
About: My friends and family have regularly trusted me to care for their pets for the past 4-5 years, and I treat every dog as if they are my own. A couple years ago, I used to volunteer with dogs and cats with cerebellar hypoplasia. I’m very committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care for your pet! I am currently off from school for the whole summer, so I have open availability most of the time! The only time I am not available is for a couple trips I am going on. Also, I do not have another job at the moment, so I can dedicate my full attention to the pets in my care. I am flexible, dependable, and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities! I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of safe walking areas and green space nearby for regular walks, exercise, and potty breaks. Since I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised on a leash to ensure your pet is always safe. I carefully follow any instructions provided for feeding schedules, crate use, medications, or anything else. I also fully respect their routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free! From my experience volunteering with disabled dogs and cats, I am patient, attentive, and mindful of each animal’s individual needs. I can also provide updates and photos regularly so parents feel comfortable while they are away.
“Aylee was absolutely wonderful with Peaches! She accommodated us on very short notice, which we really appreciated, and she was incredibly communicative and friendly throughout the entire stay. We felt confident right away that Peaches was in great hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. We would recommend Aylee to anyone and are already looking forward to bringing Peaches back in the future!”

“First walk with Katie and a very active and shy Lagotto! She did awesome. I love how she tried to work with him and his leash needs and practiced discernment around other dogs. Caper came back smiling and she now napping. Couldn’t ask for more and I look forward to establishing a consistent relationship with her”

About: I am a 24-year-old college student searching for pet-sitting opportunities in Tallahassee, Florida. I am passionate about animals and plan on entering a Zoology-related career field. My specialty lies in reptiles, amphibians, and cats, but I am just as capable of caring for small dogs and birds. I do not accept large dogs as I am a slight individual and have difficulty handling them. Over the years, I have cared for a boa constrictor, a leopard gecko, two rats, two African dwarf frogs, a red-eared slider, a Shih Tzu, and a total of seven cats. Fun Fact: Jackson Galaxy and Steve Irwin are heroes of mine! My schedule is flexible, and I will work part or full-time as required. I am willing to stop by once a day or stay the night with your pet(s) as needed. I have reliable transportation and can care for small animals at any client's home in the Tallahassee area. With all pets, I will require a meeting beforehand to ensure they are comfortable with me and that I am providing the best possible care. This will include me writing down all necessary information, such as emergency contact numbers, feeding schedules, specific care requirements, and household upkeep. I will maintain steady contact with the client through phone calls and texts while caring for their animal(s).

While I don’t have any pets of my own I am an active part of daily care for the family pets and always have been, so this responsibility is not new or burdensome to me.

I closely follow their normal routine and give them the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I have my own separate living quarters, which allows for separation from other animals on the property. However, due to my unique living situation, I still have access to other animals for socialization or companionship if that’s something your pet enjoys.

I am also currently looking for a part-time position and would love the opportunity to care for your pets during these times. I treat every pet like part of my family. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, maintain the pet’s routine, and give them the same care, attention, and affection I would for my own dog. I also make sure to give updates so owners feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog lover with over 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I live in a house with 1.5 acres of land, including a large, fully fenced grassy yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. I currently have a German Shepherd and a Border Collie, so I’m very familiar with active and intelligent breeds. I also have a 3-year-old child who is very gentle and respectful with dogs, and all interactions are always supervised. I am mostly free after dropping my child off at daycare around 8 a.m., which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m comfortable feeding dogs, giving oral medications, and following specific care routines. I truly love caring for dogs and treat every pup like part of my family—with lots of affection, patience, and cuddles. 💛 Please note: • I currently accept dogs under 12 years old • I prefer dogs that are house-trained Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to balance work and pet care effectively. My day usually starts after I drop my child off at daycare around 8:00 AM. From that point, I dedicate time to both my work responsibilities and caring for my pets. I treat every pet like family! Whether in my home or yours, I make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved. My care includes: • Following their feeding and medication schedules • Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation • Keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free • Monitoring health and behavior closely • Maintaining clean and cozy spaces I provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I work at FSU (as a 9-month contract faculty), so I'm totally free (full time at home) during the summer. I love dog and I have owned one small dog 'Sadie' since 2013. She is very friendly, enthusiastic and gets along well with other dogs in our neighborhood. Sadie likes walking, so I take her to a walk twice a day in the mornings and in the evenings. I'd like to extend my love to your dog, especially for those who don't have the privilege to take care of their dogs full time. I have a large fenced yard. There is beautiful grass almost everywhere in my neighborhood. I can follow any directions given, and send updates throughout the day if wanted. If you are curious about the dog sitting time lapse in the past three years, that's because we had a baby daughter in the year of 2000. She is now 3 years old and she is a dog lover as well! The other reason is that our dog Sadie was paralyzed and we had to spend a lot time taking care of her. Fortunately she has been recovering very well and now she can walk normally (sometimes with a sling support on her back) as happy as she is always. We have learned how to take good care of a special needs dog. I'm currently on my summer vacation (as a 9-month contract faculty at FSU), so I have plenty of time to play with your pets and take good care of them as I do with my own dog - Sadie. I have a large fenced yard with a large covered patio and a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. With four bedrooms and a large sunroom, I can easily crate your pet or put in a separate (private) room if needed.
About: I have a strong love for all animals, but especially dogs! As a proud dog owner myself, I understand the level of trust that goes into selecting a sitter. When you book with me, you can have full confidence that your dog(s) will be in the hands of someone who will take care of them as if they were their own! 😊 I’m currently home for the summer from college, so I have plenty of time to look after your pups! I’m available any day and even accept same day bookings if needed. 😊 I welcome any opportunity to care for your pups. Whether it’s a quick check-in after a long day alone, a nice long walk to keep them happy and energized, or an overnight stay to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for, I’m here to help!

“Kendall and Matthew (and family) did an amazing job. The dogs were still tired on Monday. It's obvious that they had a great time. Easy drop-off and pick-up, lots of pics, and happy dogs. Can't say any more. Will definitely be using again.”
“Madelyn took such great care of Kali! I could tell he’d been running around a lot and getting all the love and attention he could want. He came home happy, tired, and clearly spoiled in the best way. I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Madelyn again!”
“Sarah is amazing! She has taken Kaiser in twice now while we’ve been out of town and he has such a good time and well taken cared of. She consistently provides updates and pictures which is really nice too. I would highly recommend Sarah for watching your pup!”
“Robert is very nice and was willing to accommodate to my dog’s routine. He was also flexible when my plans changed and I needed to pick up a few hours after the scheduled time. Will be booking with Robert again for my next trip. Highly recommend!”
“Ain is the absolute sweetest and my dog is currently crying because we drove away without her. He loves her two cockerspaniels Caleb and Nelly too. Thank you so much for all of your help and flexibility. 🩵🩵🩵”
“Ayana was very communicative and patient with my hyperactive, anxious Pom. She asked questions whenever she needed more information on his needs (a majorly good sign that he was well-cared for), and she sent lots of pictures of him during his stay! When he came home with me, he seemed very happy and calmer than usual. I believe he fully enjoyed his stay, and I would recommend Ayana to anyone looking for the perfect sitter for their babies. ^v^”
“Colette is so wonderful with Hunter, he really enjoys his time at her house and it makes me feel good knowing he is so well cared for. Colette is great at communicating with us beforehand and throughout the stay, being sure to send pictures and updates. We are a returning customer and feel so lucky to have found Colette. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Yara and her family were so friendly and Oreo fit in well with her crew. She sent pics throughout the stay and kept us updated and was extremely responsive for dropoff and pickup.”
“Nilanie did a great job watching our dog, Lola, while we were out of town for a few days. She sent adorable photos everyday of our pup and provided consistent updates on how she was adjusting. Definitely recommend!”
“Christy was great! She communicated with me to let me know how things were going and adorable pictures! Hal came home relaxed, happy, and tired! Will totally give her a call next time I need a sitter for my girl!”
“My fiance and I recently went out of town and this was our first time leaving our dog with people other than family, and Alicia was wonderful! Alicia sent tons of updates and pictures of Lucy throughout the weekend. When Lucy came back home on Sunday evening she was tuckered out so we knew she had a great weekend :) Will definitely use Alicia again and will recommend her to friends as well.”

“Amanda was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Teddie! She treated her like family and kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Teddie was so happy, comfortable, and clearly loved during her stay. Amanda’s communication was outstanding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We are incredibly grateful and would trust her with Teddie again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”

“We want to take the time to express our gratitude to Ms. Marissa S. She took excellent care of our girl Oli while we were away. She treated Oli as if one of the family.
