“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!”
“I am an extremely picky dog owner and won’t leave my fur baby with just anyone. My dog stayed with Robert for the weekend. I got text and pictures showing a happy baby. I will use Robert again to keep my boy.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old. Growing up, my aunt ran a dog foster program, where I helped care for up to 15 dogs at a time of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. That experience taught me how to understand each dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, playful, or need a little extra patience. I love building trust with every dog I meet, whether that means lots of belly rubs and snuggles or simply giving them the space they need to feel comfortable. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also have two sweet dogs of my own: Mable, my Chocolate Lab, and Daisy, my Coonhound. They both love making new friends, and our home is full of love, playtime, and tail wags. I treat every dog like family and would be honored to care for yours! Weekdays: Potty and breakfast before 7:00 a.m. then home by 4:00–4:30 p.m. for potty breaks, playtime, and dinner. Weekends are available most times and can be planned around your schedule and your pup’s needs. Whether your pup is staying with my family or I’m visiting your home, they’ll be treated like my own. Reliable, patient, loving care with updates, safety, and comfort always first.
“Julia did great with our senior dog Bo! She was responsive and sent pictures throughout the stay. Since she is a vet tech, Bo was in great hands during his stay. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Judith was easy to work with. I loved how much attention she gave my 2 fur babies. When I picked them up they didn’t seem eager to go home which is a true sign they where treated well. I will definitely use her services again. I love the fact that she gives them plenty of potty breaks. Great person to work with and she keeps you inform on how your babies are doing by photos or video.”
“Diana is a super care giver and really enjoys having a dog. We have a pug and she already was well familiar with the breed. She sent pictures each morning and evening, and always responded promptly. Her home is really clean, has fenced yard, and works from home, so I was glad my dog had lots of company. Thanks for caring for our Luke!”
“Andrew was very attentive to our dogs over the holidays. He definitely made us feel at ease being away from our babies with daily photos and videos. Would leave our dogs with him again for sure”
“Our second time having our dog stay with them and they were great again! Always stayed in touch with us and sent us pictures. Also let us know if she was having any issues. Our dog always has a blast when she stays there. Would highly recommend booking them!”
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with Bailey over the Christmas and New Year’s break. Bailey has high anxiety, so leaving him is never easy — but Victoria truly made him feel at home. From the moment I saw the updates, I could tell he was having the time of his life. She went above and beyond by spending quality time with him, throwing the frisbee, giving him fun snacks, and making sure he felt loved and comfortable. The photos she shared were so thoughtful and reassuring — it was clear he wasn’t just being watched, he was being genuinely cared for and spoiled. What stood out most was how naturally she created a calm, happy environment for a dog who normally struggles with anxiety. That alone speaks volumes about her patience, attentiveness, and love for animals. Bailey came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Victoria is truly a gem, and I honestly feel she’s undervalued for the level of care she provides. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
“Aubrey was a wonderful caregiver for my little Pomeranian Nala. She kept me well updated with pictures and I could tell my pup was well loved. I knew from the meet and greet it was going to be a great fit. Very thankful and highly recommend her.”
“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^”
“Byron is the best! He always takes great care of my dogs. They get plays, cuddles, and great interaction. Byron is really great at responding and is super patient if things arise. Highly recommend as a dog momma of 3!”
“Madelyn is so sweet and her dog is super cute and friendly!! My pup was very well taken care of, and I got plenty of pics/updates throughout his stay! 10/10 recommend”
“Amazing host. Communicating as much as you need! Extremely kind, caring, and will go the extra mile just to help out. Definitely someone we will use for our future trips and even to visit the dogs because of the good time spent.”
“Franceska & Daniel were awesome sitters! They were very good at communicating and Chop took a liking to them very quick. I was very happy with knowing Chop always had company and not just in a cage, that left me comfort to continue to book with them especially because they treated chop as if he were their own and was just as happy caring for him.”

“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!!!”
“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!”
“Lacy always gives prompt and kind care to our cat Razz, and this time he seemed to be very calm when we returned. It is great to hear that he greeted you at the door and he seemed very pleased and calm when we returned home. Thank you, Lacy!”
About: I have 6 cats who are all happy and well taken care of. Since I do have cats at my house I would not accept in home sitting for cats but I would absolutely go to your house for check ins or stay at your home and home/pet sit.
“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 grew up on a farm where I learned about the care for many different animals. I’ve pet sat for others since I was 16 and have been raising my own fur babies for almost 7 years now. I’m gentle, attentive, and value being on time. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own family with professional belly rubs and lots of walks! I am currently in nursing school, so when I’m not in class or at clinicals, I’m available to care for your pet however I am needed any day of the week. I am capable of tailoring care to your pet’s needs. Whether that means needing to be crated, given medication, bathed, or fed a certain way, I will do it. I know how important it is to want to be stress free when leaving your pet in the care of someone else which is why I want to create a safe and trustworthy environment so that you don’t have to worry while away.
“It was so reassuring to have Ayla taking care of my 3 kittie for a week. She was immediately accepted by the cats...a real validation of her service. Will definitely ask for her help again!”
“My cat is timid around most strangers, but Meghan sent me incredible pictures of them bonding while we were gone. She is punctual, follows all directions, and is amazing with animals!”
About: 🚨07/31/2026- still tweaking acccount after reactivating, thank you for the patience🚨 Hi, I’m Analia! What separates me from other pet sitters is my unique experiences with animals while working and managing in a corporate setting (a pet store). I know very well the standard of care that the pickiest of clients (and animals!) expect, and my hope is to be allowed to extend such high standards and more to any pets in need of a buddy, and facilitate your peace of mind while they’re under my watch! My love for animals is boundless, and I can assure you that your animal will come back to you feeling super loved and appreciated too :) I am a happy and enthusiastic learner and most of all very, very adaptable to your pet’s individual needs and special requirements as well as your own personal requests. Currently part time with a lot of free time in the afternoon! I am able to make drop in visits or walks before 7am as need be. I've also worked together with my partner (very loving and a stickler for rules- your rules!) to ensure we cover any gaps in timely care. My partner would be part of the meet and greet should we need to ensure your pets are comfortable and socialized if my visits before and after work do not suffice :) It goes without saying, I will heed whatever tips you have for your pets—they’re your babies after all!!— and I will absolutely make sure their safety and well-being is paramount while in my care! Never off a leash when outside, and always with my phone handy in case of emergencies. (Knock on wood!)
About: I have over 11 years of hands-on experience loving and caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. As a lifelong cat devotee who has shared an 11-year bond with my oldest fur baby, I know exactly how to read feline body language and make your cats feel safe, cozy, and thoroughly loved while you are away. I specialize in caring for the most vulnerable kitties, from tiny newborns to sweet special-needs seniors. I have a huge heart for neonatal care and have successfully bottle-fed many motherless kittens, including a fragile two-day-old newborn who needed round-the-clock love and attention. You can also rest easy knowing I am fully comfortable handling complex medical routines. I am experienced in giving precise insulin injections for diabetic cats, administering subcutaneous fluids for extra hydration, and gently delivering oral medications to anxious felines. I promise to provide tender care so your beloved cats can keep up with their health routines happily and comfortably!
“Andrew did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were out of town! Andrew was extremely thorough and sent us great pictures and updates every day. We will definitely be using him again in the future!”
About: I grew up in a home with multiple cats, each with their own unique personality, so I’ve learned firsthand that no two cats are alike. From a young age, I was responsible for helping care for our cats, and that responsibility has continued into adulthood. I understand that earning a cat’s trust takes patience, respect, and attentiveness, and I’m committed to caring for every cat in a way that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: I love cats! As a cat owner myself & vet tech student I have been taking care of and providing care to cats at 3 years. I have experience in administering medicine, watching behavior for any potential problems and providing care.
About: I’ve taken care of cats of various temperaments from extremely shy and antisocial to very energetic and cuddly. I have become accustomed to catering to the needs of each individual cat and know that no two pets are the same. Most of my experience has been volunteering at local humane societies and taking care of the pets of family and friends.
About: I have taken care of just pets (cat, dog, bird, turtle and rabbit) since I was a kid. Even my family and neighbors have requested me as their pet sitter because of how loyal, caring and loving I am to animals. I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me the time to share and willing give taking care of animals! My time is well spent when I get to spend quality time with god's furry creatures. I can make sure to pay close attention to their behavior as well as their surroundings to ensure their safety and well-being. I will also prioritize my time with the animal to make sure they have attention need/wanted.
About: I have loved dogs my whole life, have cared for puppies to senior dogs. Work full time as an Engineer but will be more responsible towards care than college part time workers. Understand breed specific care and want to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as possible away from home! Will be open to any and all specific care needs. Have a large house with gated back yard. I am a full time Civil Engineer I work till 4:30-5:00 everyday but am open for after work care or thur-Saturday night boarding. Weekday care can go through the night but will only be able to let the dog out Monings/Lunch/after Work. If any of this supports your needs than please connect! We can make a schedule and stick to it that fits your needs! Pets are truly innocent and I want to provide a safe and comfortable place for them whether my or your home. There is a walk path in the neighborhood, I have a fenced in back yard, a fiance and med school roomate that can help with attention. I will care for the dog as if it is my child and that means reinforcing comfort and safety and minimizing anxiety and bad habits. No hitting, rough play, or unsafe situations would ever be considered acceptable. Any specialty considerations will certainly be accounted for.
“Gabriela was great! she said frequent updates with picturesabout how much food he ate and how he was doing in general. My cat seemed happy when he got back thank you so much.”

“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!”
About: I trained canine assistance dogs for 9 months and have over 25 years of experience. I’m very good with all types and personalities when it comes to our furry companions Working on switching my career path right now since there is a shift to corporate medicine in animal hospitals and as support staff I lost the feeling of being supported, or properly compensated myself. I recently started watching my neice from 6-4 Monday through Friday. Sometimes I will do delivery driving at night, but only if that is ok with you! I also have my medical marijuana card. Despite that review that says I agreed not to, I have never negotiated this. I’m an anxious, insomniac with cyclical vomiting syndrome. Some days I would not be ok without it🥺 I apologize if that does not work for anybody, but one must take care of themselves before they can care for others. This actually isn’t lucrative enough with my schedule. I ONLY do this because animals are my passion!!! Feel free to ask me any questions at all! I really am an open book! I have a 3/3 townhouse set up with lots of room for walks. Unfortunately there is no fence, but it is a very pet friendly environment.
“Judith is one of the best sitter that i know. She cared for both of my puppies Khloe and Kobe and she provided extraordinary care. Even when Kobe was sick, she took time out of her schedule to sit with me for the duration of his visit. Not only was she a support to Kobe, she assisted me as being a new mom of two puppies. I will definitely be utilizing her service in the future.”
About: Hi! I'm Charli, and I've been caring for animals in both a professional and personal capacity for several years. I've worked as a bather, groomer, daycare, and veterinary clinic professional for over 5 years, and have experience with all of the following animals: dogs (all sizes), cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, fish, pigs, lizards, birds, & more! I most enjoy house sitting, dog walking, and daytime care, and I am able to travel to the further parts of the Tallahassee metro area upon request. For overnight animal guest needs, I have a home in the Astoria Park area of Tallahassee with a big fenced back yard and 5 animals of my own (2 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 ferret). All of our animals are great with other pets and love to meet new friends. If needed, we can also set up a room your pet can have all to themselves. Pet care is my everyday priority! My fiancée works full time from home, allowing me to devote my time to giving our pets and others' pets the care and attention they need (and deserve). I take pet care very seriously and am very attuned to animals' body language. As a veterinary worker, I have been trained to handle any situation in a calm and collected manner. Additionally, I like to ensure proper nutrition, adequate play time and potty breaks, and down time/quiet time when pets are feeling overwhelmed.
About: I’ve worked at a veterinary hospital and had dogs all my life! Your pup will have access to a huge fenced in yard on acreage and that’s only if they get tired of being loved on inside. My house is their house. Doggie doors throughout and full supervision while their minds wander and play. Safe loving environment until you re-unite. Happy for pick-ups and drop-offs as requested. I’m a stay at home wife sitting on fenced in acreage, amongst a wildlife sanctuary with 3 vaccinated fur-babies ready to make friends and show them around their playground. Plenty of soft places to lay after a big day of play. Access to water always - Doggie doors throughout and full supervision while in my care. Cuddles guaranteed and ready for extended paw pack members to enjoy this space. 3 friendly dogs who have been socialized all their lives, ready to show your pup around their home. Undivided supervision. Crate’s ready and available if they prefer separate sleeping / eating. Everything is tailored to what your pup requires. No request is too crazy, they are going to be treated and feel like just another family member. SPOILT
“I was traveling and needed to someone for my furbaby to stay while we were out and about. I felt very comfortable leaving my furbaby Clyde with Sarah. Nice home with fenced yard and very sweet pooch of her own. Would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve taken care of different pets since I was 7 years old. I have experience taking care of house pets, farm animals, and exotic pets. I recently completed my Masters of Public Health and working full time. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I own a dog myself, so I am always willing to make time to take care of somebody’s else pet as if it was my own. I enjoy building a connection with the pet first. I want the pet to know that I am not a threat to them and that they can rely on me to support and take care of them. I am detail oriented, which allows me to provide the pet assurance of being in good hands.
“Byron came to the rescue last minute to watch my two pups—saved our vacation from needing to be cancelled last minute. When we got the dogs back at the end of the day, they were both so tired and happy—perfect day of daycare!! Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Reymun was great! He was there for us when we had a last minute request and was so quick to communicate. He sent us updates during the day and some cute pictures of peaches spending time outside. We won’t hesistate to reach out to Reymun again or recommend him to others!”
About: I am 37 years old and have cared for pets over the years but done Rover/Professional dog sitting for roughly 5 and a half years now. I worked as a traveling salesman for a few years so I unfortunately wasn’t able to have a pet(it would’ve been more difficult) but I stayed at many airbnbs that had cats/dogs and I have many friends who have let me keep their pets for them over the years. I had a pet snake for about 7 years(Rosey Boa). I can care for any and all animals including fish and reptiles. I'm not afraid of Tarantulas and birds are ok too. I only work part-time so I am pretty available to help your pet. I am happy to take dogs on walks, dog park visits, and I am an avid hiker so if you think your dog would enjoy a nature walk I can bring plenty of water and show them the great outdoors. I do not have a fully fenced in yard. I live in an apartment complex but I live on an end unit and currently I do not have roommates so I am happy to have pets to keep me company. Theres plenty of places to walk the dogs around my complex and as long as they’ll get along and are housebroken I am able to host multiple pets. Cats are ok too. I love exotics like reptiles and tarantulas as well. Ferrets and other furry friends are also ok. I can do house sitting and I am open to long term stays in other people's homes. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs and I can accommodate that. I have experience with elderly dogs. I can easily take your dog for walks or to the dog park if that's allowed. I do keep multiple dogs sometimes but if your dog isn't friendly with other dogs I can easily make arrangements especially if it's multiple dogs. I like to take the dogs on frequent walks and sometimes I watch movies/TV with pets in the evening. Do go ahead and send me a request! What are you waiting for? I promise the only thing I will fail to do is disappoint you! I'm working part-time so I generally am available to keep your dog/pet company however if you have the kind of pet that can't go more than 3 hours or so being alone I cannot do that. Occasionally I have to leave the house and do errands. I have everything needed at my house for dogs. You would just have to bring food, leash/harness and treats. I have crates, bowls, toys and everything else needed. I don't have a fenced in yard but there are many areas where the dog can walk and play around here. I don't have any other dogs of my own currently.
About: I grew up caring for all sorts of animals. I currently live on a farm and have worked with just about any animals you can think of. I have previously worked as a kennel tech at a boarding/training facility. Animals have my heart and I would love to care for your babies too! I work part time for a family business and make my own schedule. I am free majority of the time so I always have plenty of time to take care of your pets My dogs go out multiple times a day and exercise all of the time. We play fetch, run, jump, and all other sorts of exercises. I always allow my animals to get plenty of work indoors and outdoors to keep them happy and in shape.
“Ainla was amazing! She drove to my workplace and then dropped him off at his puppy kindergarten classes! She sent me pictures of his stay and kept me updated on his activities. Nico had a great time, came back home all ready for a nap. If you are looking for a great sitter, Ainla is the perfect choice! ”
“Diana put all my worries to rest. She took amazing care of my senior dog! Paris came back super relaxed. Diana provided updates and I could tell she was taking good care of my Paris :) Would 100% recommend and will definitely contact her again.”
About: I love all animals, all shapes, sizes and colors. I have experience in every animal kingdom. I have a very safe and large fenced in oasis for your child to play in. I could talk your ear off about my own schedule and routine but that would be less time for walks! I work from home at my “real job”. I find a happy dog is a dog on a schedule. I prefer to have specific instructions on any schedules for special pets. Pets will not be left unattended for extended periods.
About: I've cared for furry friends since I could walk. My family raised me in an environment where caring for animals was a form of education, and one I'm happy to share every day. I own a business that operates in a seasonal fashion. This affords me the opportunity to be available where most aren't. Whether that be for day visits and walks, or night time check ins. My home is great for dogs. My old boy loves company. He's very gentle. I have access to walking trails as well. I am happy to accommodate for kennel trained or non-kennel trained.
“I have a senior dog with special needs. Kate asked intelligent appropriate questions to evaluate if she and Matthew would be a good fit to ensure my dog was not a risk to himself, their home, or other dogs, and how to best meet his needs by understanding his behaviors. Once we agreed to a trial day care day. I was impressed with the care provided and my dog was very comfortable and happy being there. Kate sent photos and updates and was quickly responsive to my questions. Their dogs and teens are good companions to the client dogs, the house is dog-friendly in comfort and safety with all non-chewable temptations stowed away, and their spacious fenced yard provides stimulation and exercise. With a dog-friendly pool, they are hitting the pet resort level for my Boykin! They have earned our trust and respect as dog care providers, and we are grateful to have found them!”
About: A loving teacher and transplant from Minnesota, I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes since I was small! I'd love to meet and care for your fur baby! New to Florida, I am now a full time Band teacher in Bristol. I'd love to care for your fur babies if our schedules match up! I am compassionate and caring for pets but don't leave a trail when I've been in someone's space! I grew up a girl scout and we were taught to leave a place cleaner than when you've found it!
About: I have had dogs my entire life. We adopted Frankie in June 2025. He’s very dog friendly. Frankie is about 45 pounds. He is pretty energetic and can play rough so we’d do best with dogs his size or larger that match his energy and play style. We are a pretty active household. We like to spend time in the backyard and go for walks around the neighborhood or on the trails. I typically work from home so your dog won’t be alone for long. We have done a lot of training since getting Frankie. I’ve become very knowledgeable on training and dog behaviors. I am certainly no expert, but you can trust will we care for your fur baby as if they were our own. If there are behaviors or training you are working on, I will be happy to continue that during their stay. Contact me for any additional information! I primarily work from home so I have the flexibility to accommodate most needs. We tend to walk in the morning and evening with a midday potty break and play. You can trust I will follow any and all care instructions you provide for your dog. You know what’s best for them and I understand the importance of that. I will be sure to follow your typical routine so your dog is as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old. Growing up, my aunt ran a dog foster program, where I helped care for up to 15 dogs at a time of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. That experience taught me how to understand each dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, playful, or need a little extra patience. I love building trust with every dog I meet, whether that means lots of belly rubs and snuggles or simply giving them the space they need to feel comfortable. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also have two sweet dogs of my own: Mable, my Chocolate Lab, and Daisy, my Coonhound. They both love making new friends, and our home is full of love, playtime, and tail wags. I treat every dog like family and would be honored to care for yours! Weekdays: Potty and breakfast before 7:00 a.m. then home by 4:00–4:30 p.m. for potty breaks, playtime, and dinner. Weekends are available most times and can be planned around your schedule and your pup’s needs. Whether your pup is staying with my family or I’m visiting your home, they’ll be treated like my own.

“I’m so grateful for Kelly! She’s helped me out twice in a last-minute pinch and was incredibly reliable, responsive, and kind. Lucy was well cared for and happy, and I had total peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
About: I love all animals and have experience with animals with minor medical needs (ie. pills, shots, creams, etc). I have 2 dogs and am a 4x foster with LCHS with three of them being medical foster puppies. I also have 6 cats who have all come from different situations and back rounds. I excel at following your pets schedule and needs. I commonly house sit for a 100+ lb dog and am more than willing to watch your dog at my home as long as they are good with other dogs and cats. I work a full time job M-F but am able to do lunchtime potty breaks. If you are interested in booking over weekdays it would be best that your fur baby can be alone for 4 hour increments. If your pet is people/pet friendly and you approve I am able to bring dogs to my office space. We do not have a fenced yard but live in a very walkable area. Our dogs are crate trained and we have no problem crating your fur baby or leaving them out per your preference.
About: I worked at Quincy Animal Hospital for five years. I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets. I've bottle-fed kittens, the youngest being just two days old. I’ve also cared for senior dogs. I am comfortable administering medications as needed. I have experience managing dogs with a history of seizures and dealing with dogs affected by Cushing’s disease. Additionally, I am quite familiar with handling heartworm-positive dogs and dogs with diabetes. I take pride in communicating openly and clearly with pet owners. If I notice any abnormalities, I make sure to notify their owners. Pet care isn't just a side hustle for me; it's a daily part of my life, whether I'm caring for my own animals or others'. I always make sure to do a meet and greet before scheduling to confirm compatibility. One of my top priorities is providing peace of mind.
“Kayla communicates well, is very friendly, and goes above and beyond when pet sitting. She walks my dog twice a week and it gives me so much peace of mind to know that my pup is getting some love and attention when I have to work late. Thanks Kayla!!!”
About: I taken care of animals all my life. Fishes, guinea pigs,hamsters, bunnies, dogs, and cats! I even volunteered at an animal shelter for a summer and it was such a great experience!! I will treat your baby like it’s my own💕 Majority of my day ends around 3:30 due to classes but other times it ends before that in the afternoon. I am free on the weekends unless I am traveling out of town! I live in a first floor apartment in a gated community. All dogs are safe to walk around the complex as every dog is required to be leashed. I also have a lock to my room incase I do any animal sitting, so no randoms can come into my room nor apartment.
About: I’m a dependable and caring animal lover (with my own cat named Zuko!) who understands that every pet has their own personality and needs. I provide patient, attentive care and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and giving lots of affection. I’m comfortable with energetic young pets who need exercise and structure, as well as senior pets who need a gentler pace, patience, and extra attention. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands 😊 I’m a full time student at FSU pursuing my masters in social work. Because I’m full time, my schedule is currently free due to focusing on my studies and not really having time for a full time job with internships as well. I’m mostly free this summer with my class days on T/TH and the rest of the week is open! I’m especially not busy on weekends. I’m willing to discuss days and times more with pet parents who may need me drop in on class days as well depending on what time my classes end ✨ I provide loving, reliable care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level. For overnight house sitting, I stay in your home so your pet can remain in a familiar environment with their normal schedule, reducing stress while you’re away. I make sure they receive feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. For drop-in visits, I stop by to feed, refresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, provide potty breaks, playtime, and check on your pet’s overall well-being. For dog walking, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs, making sure they get exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of care. I always respect your home, follow instructions closely, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
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.
About: I’ve volunteered with cats of all ages and temperaments at local animal shelters, and I am unafraid of being scratched because of years of battle wounds from feline friends. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I also do much of my work remotely, so all I need is a computer and I can entertain your fur baby for hours :) My apartment has no yard but a front door that automatically locks. I have two roommates who love my cat, Honey, and would absolutely not mind having another kitty around. If your cat is antisocial, I have a spacious carpeted room with tons of toys and scratchers which they can be left alone with for as long as they want. If your cat is very social, great! I love giving cuddles and play time!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family for years now and figured it’s time to branch out the business. I live alone, have a large back yard and a nice park nearby my house. I would pet sit at times when I am available to and take on pets in a manner that makes logistical sense for me and my schedule. I check on them and look for any signs of obvious discomfort or distress. Make sure they have time to use the bathroom/clean litter box and water. Most animals will try and communicate to you what they need, so it’s good to follow the routines they have at home and interpret what they need and at what time.
About: I am a full time Registered Nurse with 4 dogs of my own. 2 mutts and 2 Great Danes. I am doing this for fun on my off days, I have a passion for animals and love caring for them. I have experience in giving medications and assisting with mobility. I care for my own dogs daily. This is something fun for me to help other pet parents be able to feel their animals needs are met while out of town or away on vacation! I hope to help keep you from having to board your animals! I have a fenced yard and my dogs are crate trained and potty trained. I also take them on walks and play with toys or play fetch frequently!
About: I’ve been very passionate about animal care ever since I was a young girl. My experience varies from volunteering to personal experiences. I’m currently a volunteer at the Tallahassee Museum working as an Animal Caretaker. Many friends and family have put their trust in me to take care of and watch their pets for a period of time. I house and care for ALOT of animals of my own, 3 dogs and 4 cats! I enjoy putting in the time to make these animals feel loved and cared for! Pet care is my priority, which is why I maintain an open and flexible schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. I understand that providing quality care takes time, patience, and dedication, and I make sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it’s a quick walk or extended care, I’m committed to being dependable and fully present for every visit. At home, I care for my pets with consistency, patience, and attention to their individual needs. My dogs have access to a secure fenced-in yard, are taken outside at least four times a day, always have fresh water available, receive balanced meals every morning and evening, and enjoy plenty of exercise through long walks, games of fetch, and playtime. My cats are fed balanced meals twice a day, have fresh water at all times, and enjoy daily enrichment with interactive toys and cat-friendly videos. I keep their litter box clean by scooping it every day and completely changing the litter every 4-5 days. For their safety and well-being, my cats are kept indoors, where they can thrive in a clean, enriching environment.
About: Reliable, experienced pet sitter with a soft spot for senior animals and those with medical needs. I offer feeding, overnight stays, medication administration, and light housekeeping so you can actually relax while you're away. I know how important routine is—especially for pets who thrive on structure and familiarity. Whether your pet needs a special diet, meds, or just someone to hang out with, I’m all about providing low-stress, loving care that keeps them comfortable and cared for. I work 7:45-1:30 most days, so while I have an early start, I still have plenty of time throughout the day to spend with your pets and give them all the love and attention they need! I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and comfort. I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep things clean, quiet, and calm. For overnight stays, I also include light housekeeping so you return to a tidy home. Whether it’s feeding, medication, or just keeping your pet company, I focus on safety, trust, and providing low-stress, consistent care while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Gaby! Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and many other pets for years, and I love getting to know each one’s unique personality. I’m gentle, patient, and make sure every pet feels loved and secure while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or cuddles, I pay attention to the little details that keep pets happy and comfortable. You can count on me to treat your pets like family and keep you updated every step of the way. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I’m an early riser and love starting my mornings with walks or playtime. Throughout the day, I make time for feeding, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. On busier days, I still make sure every pet gets the care and love they deserve, consistency and comfort are always my priorities. When I care for pets in my home or my client’s home, I make sure their routine stays as close to normal as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions carefully. I always keep the environment safe, comfortable, and calm, giving pets the space and attention they need to feel secure. In my clients’ homes, I treat their space with respect and make sure pets are cared for just like they would be if their owner were there. Whether it’s cleaning up after them, giving medications, or spending extra time for cuddles and play, I go above and beyond to make sure every pet feels loved and cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 13 years old. I also have experience volunteering at a humane society where I cared for both dogs and cats of all ages. I’m currently a student at Florida State, but I still have plenty have plenty of free time to care for your pups! I’m usually free mwf mornings before 10 and after 12:30, Tues/thurs between 12-2 and after 5:30, and all weekend for select weekends! I have lots of experience with pet safety and will be sure to follow all rules and guidelines you have set for your dog or cat!
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and worked with many shelters to provide assistance with animals. Training to become a vet at my college of Florida State University. Pet care fits into my daily routine all the time. Love putting animals first and don’t have much for the summer since all my classes are online. I respect the clients home and make sure whatever I touch or use I put back into the same place in which I found it. I would give clients animals respect and excitement to bring joy to being taken care of

“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!”
“I am an extremely picky dog owner and won’t leave my fur baby with just anyone. My dog stayed with Robert for the weekend. I got text and pictures showing a happy baby. I will use Robert again to keep my boy.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old. Growing up, my aunt ran a dog foster program, where I helped care for up to 15 dogs at a time of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. That experience taught me how to understand each dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, playful, or need a little extra patience. I love building trust with every dog I meet, whether that means lots of belly rubs and snuggles or simply giving them the space they need to feel comfortable. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also have two sweet dogs of my own: Mable, my Chocolate Lab, and Daisy, my Coonhound. They both love making new friends, and our home is full of love, playtime, and tail wags. I treat every dog like family and would be honored to care for yours! Weekdays: Potty and breakfast before 7:00 a.m. then home by 4:00–4:30 p.m. for potty breaks, playtime, and dinner. Weekends are available most times and can be planned around your schedule and your pup’s needs. Whether your pup is staying with my family or I’m visiting your home, they’ll be treated like my own. Reliable, patient, loving care with updates, safety, and comfort always first.
“Julia did great with our senior dog Bo! She was responsive and sent pictures throughout the stay. Since she is a vet tech, Bo was in great hands during his stay. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Andrew was very attentive to our dogs over the holidays. He definitely made us feel at ease being away from our babies with daily photos and videos. Would leave our dogs with him again for sure”
“Our second time having our dog stay with them and they were great again! Always stayed in touch with us and sent us pictures. Also let us know if she was having any issues. Our dog always has a blast when she stays there. Would highly recommend booking them!”
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with Bailey over the Christmas and New Year’s break. Bailey has high anxiety, so leaving him is never easy — but Victoria truly made him feel at home. From the moment I saw the updates, I could tell he was having the time of his life. She went above and beyond by spending quality time with him, throwing the frisbee, giving him fun snacks, and making sure he felt loved and comfortable. The photos she shared were so thoughtful and reassuring — it was clear he wasn’t just being watched, he was being genuinely cared for and spoiled. What stood out most was how naturally she created a calm, happy environment for a dog who normally struggles with anxiety. That alone speaks volumes about her patience, attentiveness, and love for animals. Bailey came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Victoria is truly a gem, and I honestly feel she’s undervalued for the level of care she provides. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
“Aubrey was a wonderful caregiver for my little Pomeranian Nala. She kept me well updated with pictures and I could tell my pup was well loved. I knew from the meet and greet it was going to be a great fit. Very thankful and highly recommend her.”
“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^”
“Byron is the best! He always takes great care of my dogs. They get plays, cuddles, and great interaction. Byron is really great at responding and is super patient if things arise. Highly recommend as a dog momma of 3!”
“Madelyn is so sweet and her dog is super cute and friendly!! My pup was very well taken care of, and I got plenty of pics/updates throughout his stay! 10/10 recommend”
“Amazing host. Communicating as much as you need! Extremely kind, caring, and will go the extra mile just to help out. Definitely someone we will use for our future trips and even to visit the dogs because of the good time spent.”
“Franceska & Daniel were awesome sitters! They were very good at communicating and Chop took a liking to them very quick. I was very happy with knowing Chop always had company and not just in a cage, that left me comfort to continue to book with them especially because they treated chop as if he were their own and was just as happy caring for him.”
About: I taken care of animals all my life. Fishes, guinea pigs,hamsters, bunnies, dogs, and cats! I even volunteered at an animal shelter for a summer and it was such a great experience!! I will treat your baby like it’s my own💕 Majority of my day ends around 3:30 due to classes but other times it ends before that in the afternoon. I am free on the weekends unless I am traveling out of town! I live in a first floor apartment in a gated community. All dogs are safe to walk around the complex as every dog is required to be leashed. I also have a lock to my room incase I do any animal sitting, so no randoms can come into my room nor apartment.
About: Hi! I'm Charli, and I've been caring for animals in both a professional and personal capacity for several years. I've worked as a bather, groomer, daycare, and veterinary clinic professional for over 5 years, and have experience with all of the following animals: dogs (all sizes), cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, fish, pigs, lizards, birds, & more! I most enjoy house sitting, dog walking, and daytime care, and I am able to travel to the further parts of the Tallahassee metro area upon request. For overnight animal guest needs, I have a home in the Astoria Park area of Tallahassee with a big fenced back yard and 5 animals of my own (2 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 ferret). All of our animals are great with other pets and love to meet new friends. If needed, we can also set up a room your pet can have all to themselves. Pet care is my everyday priority! My fiancée works full time from home, allowing me to devote my time to giving our pets and others' pets the care and attention they need (and deserve). I take pet care very seriously and am very attuned to animals' body language. As a veterinary worker, I have been trained to handle any situation in a calm and collected manner. Additionally, I like to ensure proper nutrition, adequate play time and potty breaks, and down time/quiet time when pets are feeling overwhelmed.
“Our dogs had a great time with Grachel! We received updates with photos almost every day. They loved hanging out with Lucy and playing in the back yard. We are thankful to have someone we can trust take care of our dogs when we have to travel without them.”
