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.
“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!”
“Alicia is the best pet sitter! This was the first time we left our dog, Luna, with someone else and Alicia eased all my worries. She’s very experienced and laid back, which helped me feel confident that Luna would be well cared for. She sent photos daily and kept me updated on how Luna was adjusting. Alicia also spoiled her with long walks and snuggles (her two favorite things)! Alicia’s dog, Maggie, was very sweet and friendly as well and the two dogs were playing and snuggling together after just one day. I would highly recommend Alicia and will definitely use her again.”
“I love sitting my dog Chop with Franceska & Daniel, he’s been with them several times now and he loves staying over. He really enjoys their company and I love having them sit since they seem to have such a genuine connection with my dog as well as Chops connection with their dog Atlas. It makes me excited that they are excited to sit for him every time I reach out :)”

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).

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.

Cat caregivers near you - Gretna
“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!”
“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!”
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!
“Kylie was super flexible and communicative. I felt confident knowing my cat was in safe hands. I will definitely rebook next time we go out of town. Thank you so much for your kindness, Kylie!”
“Kelly is amazing! So professional and I had zero doubt that she would let us down! My kitties are usually shy but she was able to pet most of them! Would 100% book her again ! :)🙂”
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for cats. Growing up, I always had cats of my own, so I’m familiar with their different personalities, routines, and need for patience and gentle care. I’ve also spent time caring for stray cats by making sure they had food and kindness whenever I could, simply because I love animals. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I’ll respect their space, follow their routine, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jacqueline was absolutely amazing with my cat, Felix! He’s diabetic and with it being my first time going on vacation since his diagnosis, I was really anxious about leaving him but she handled everything perfectly. She was completely comfortable giving his insulin shots and followed all of his care instructions to a T. She sent me updates and photos, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. I would absolutely book Jacqueline again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Andrew cared for my 2 cats over the holidays. He was punctual and communicative, asking any questions about unclear instructions that I left to ensure my cats were properly cared for. He went on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as requested without issue and spent time with my fur babies, and sent photos every day to keep me reassured. I will be contacting him again to continue watching my little boys! Highly recommend!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gretna
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.
“Judith was amazing ! She was so sweet & welcoming. Dior was extremely relaxed and content with her. She sent pictures as well as FaceTime calls ❤️ When I picked Dior up I could tell the day she had was a great day !!”
“Ainla is the Dog Whisperer. We had an emergency situation with our first pet sitter and Ainla came through. Not only that, our dogs felt at home and had a great time playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have had the blessing of caring for animals my entire life. I currently have 3 cats (Larry, Curly, and Moe). Having grown up in a pet friendly household, spending plenty of time on the family farm, and working as an apprentice groomer, I have a wide variety of personal and professional experience with animals of all sizes. (To name a few: Cats, dogs, domestic and wild birds, chickens, ponies, goats, calves, and reptiles.) I have experience caring for pets of all ages/stages as well, such as bottle-feeding kittens, or administering medication and subcutaneous fluids to elderly or special needs pets. I would be more than happy to care for your pets so that you can feel at ease while you are away from your furry family member(s). As a stay-at-home mom of one, I have a very flexible schedule that I build around the needs of my clients and their pets’ needs. In-home care for my clients and their pets focuses on maintaining a stable, familiar routine for your pet(s) while providing care services according to their needs. Whether this be ensuring your pet is fed and has plenty of water (or treats if allowed), to keeping them entertained with play and belly pets. As a guest in your home, I take extra care to respect boundaries and maintain cleanliness during my visits. My dog walking services are handled with awareness and attention to our surroundings to avoid potential risks such as vehicles or other aggressive dogs. Due to our climate, during warmer seasons, I pay particular attention to ensure your pup does not become overheated. Additionally, I supply my own waste bags to dispose of waste properly.
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old, so I’m very experienced with their needs and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every dog like my own. Being a student athlete has taught me responsibility, consistency, and time management. I plan my days carefully, so I always have time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I treat every pet like my own and follow their regular routine with feeding, walks, and playtime. I can also create space for crates in my apartment so pets feel safe and comfortable.

“Communication was great. At drop-off I truly felt my pup was in great hands. Sent pictures throughout the day to let me know how everything was going. Definitely will be a returning client.”
About: I love animals, and sit my friends pets often. I will be a great caretaker for your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your dog (or cat)! I know how hard it is to find someone reliable to take care of your pets when you're out town. I am able to visit your dog up to 2 times per day and I am home on the weekends. Please feel free to ask me any questions and I look forward to meeting ... As summer is almost upon us, I know many of you are planning vacations. If you need a house and or pet-sitter during your away time,please, write to me. I do not always use rover to conduct payments but am happy to use the site if you prefer. If you would like to contact one of my previous clients for a recommendation, please let me know and I will send you their contact information.
“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'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.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and a strong understanding of their needs, which makes me a great pet sitter. I’ve had experience caring for a variety of pets, and I always make sure to provide personalized care for each one. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to connect with animals on a deeper level, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially patient and attentive when working with puppies, senior pets, or animals with special needs. I’m skilled at recognizing behavioral cues, which allows me to train puppies and provide gentle care for senior pets to keep them healthy and happy. My compassionate nature and dedication to their well-being really shine through in the care I give. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to balance my college schedule with taking care of pets. I make time for walks, feeding, and play between classes or in my free time. My flexible schedule lets me provide pets with the attention they need without interfering with my studies or other responsibilities. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. I ensure they have fresh food, clean water, and plenty of space to play and relax. I stick to any routines or instructions provided by the pet owner, whether it’s feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, or special care needs. I also make time for walks, playtime, and cuddling to give them attention and affection. In a client’s home, I’m mindful of their space and maintain cleanliness, ensuring the pet feels at ease while the owner is away.
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.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Gretna
About: As retirees, Steven and I have reached a point in our lives where we have the time and freedom to pursue something we truly love...caring for our furry friends! We have 2 great guys of our own, Mac and Zac! Our flexible schedules have afforded us plenty of time to devote to those 2, providing them with the absolute best loving and safe home environment. In fact, we think they think we retired just for them! They have never been happier. And we know your pet (s) will love being with us too. We absolutely hated when we had to choose to lodge our guys in an impersonal setting, such as a commercial kennel. So we decided to "pay it forward" and offer others a much better alternative for their pets. Not to mention, the peace of mind of knowing that your pets are in the best of care. So whether it's walks, playtime or just good company, we are here to help! Being retired affords us the opportunity to be home daily. Therefore, our services are available 7 days a week. We love being outdoors but more than anything, we love pets! We've found that dogs have a sense of routine. Changes in that routine can be over-stimulating. Therefore, the preferred setting for dogs is to be either in their own homes or in a more personal home-like setting. That's why our services are so vital. Theirs definitely NO PLACE LIKE HOME (or HOME-LIKE) . We offer spacious climate controlled accommodations which include: 1. 2 - Generous size sleeping suite with room to move around and relax comfortably. 2. Comfy and clean doggie beds or you can choose to bring your own. 3. Individual feeding station which includes filtrated water dispensers 4. Personal Care - Individualized care catering to dog's unique needs and preferences
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.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. Ever since I was young, people have trusted me to look after their pets because they knew I’d treat them with patience, kindness, and attention. I’ve been an animal lover since I was about five years old, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, overnight stays, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and any other specific requests. I’ll also make sure your home is treated with respect and kept clean while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care so both you and your pet have peace of mind.
“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: 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 day to day requests. Currently part time with a lottttt of free time in the afternoon! I am able to make drop in visits or walks 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’ve had animals my entire life and truly consider them family. I currently have two Labrador Retrievers and have cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities over the years. As a big dog lover, I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, energetic pups, and strong walkers—but I also provide gentle, patient care for seniors and pets who need a little extra attention. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I understand pet behavior, routines, and the importance of consistency, exercise, and affection. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s puppy playtime and basic training reinforcement, medication administration, senior care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am currently working from home. I have ample time to fit your loved furry family member into my schedule. I am very flexible throughout the week and weekends. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, needs, and personality. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency so pets feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and medications. I make sure pets receive plenty of affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. When pets are in my home, they are treated like part of the family in a safe, loving environment. I ensure they get appropriate exercise, enrichment, rest, and supervision, while respecting any special instructions, dietary needs, or behavioral considerations. Above all, I care for every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times.

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.
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 have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Professionally I have worked with animals for about 5 years now. I worked at a doggy daycare for almost 3 years. Working there taught me a great deal about animal behavior and different kinds of dog personalities. I currently work at an animal hospital as a veterinary assistant. My job duties involve administering medication daily and taking care of both dogs and cats. I have previously worked at an emergency veterinary hospital as well, which helped me learn how to react best under pressure. I have 3 fur babies of my own (1 dog and 2 cats). I have previously volunteered at local animal shelters where I met many different types of dogs and cats. I look forward to meeting your pets! I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant, so during the week I am only available before 7:30am and after 5:30pm. I am fully available on the weekends! I am happy to follow any directions left for me about caring for your fur babies! I have pets of my own that all have different feeding schedules, amounts, and medications. So lists of requests and directions do not scare me!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have had both dogs and cats since I was a young child. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of providing consistent care, patience, and love. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities for friends, family, and neighbors. My responsibilities have included feeding, refreshing water, administering oral medications when needed, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes, picking up after pets, playing with them, providing companionship, and making sure they stick to their normal routines so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. A few months ago, my boyfriend and I found an 8-year-old dog who was a stray in the woods. He lives with my boyfriend so you won’t have to worry about your pet in case they do not do well with other dogs. Welcoming him into our lives has been an incredibly rewarding experience and has taught me even more about earning a dog’s trust, being patient, and understanding that every pet has unique needs and a different personality. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work full-time, but I’m off all day on Mondays and Tuesdays, which gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. I’m also available after 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get their walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I keep the home clean by cleaning up after pets and making sure food and water areas stay tidy. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing. I follow all care instructions carefully and respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home.

About: I’ve been a dog and cat groomer for 4 years. I grew up on a farm taking care of all the animals from horses, cows, pigs, chickens , dogs , cats , turkeys etc. I’m very patient with animals who take more time to get to know new people who come into their lives and I love my senior animals who take a little longer on our walks :) I just moved to Florida from Arizona. This will be my full time job for now until I am able to save up to start my own mobile dog and cat business and hopefully be able to provide grooming services to all my lovely clients I am very reliable and flexible. I have always been the neighborhood help for pet care when my neighbors went on vacation. I’ve helped with feeding their farm animal and their indoor animals . I always follow the instructions giving to me and I always show up on time !
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! I started watching/walking my neighbors and family dogs when I was 10! In high school I started volunteering for my local shelter and grew a passion for it that I started volunteering at the shelter away at college as well. I love advocating for all types of animals and really enjoy their company! I have experience with a variety of breeds ,sizes, and ages for dogs and am also a a cat lover! I have a very flexible and open schedule, which allows me to be available for regular drop-ins, walks, feeding, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and lots of love while making sure they stay comfortable in their normal routine. I have experience caring for both a younger dog and an older cat, so I understand the different needs, energy levels, and care that pets of all ages require. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, safety is always my top priority, and I make sure pets are supervised, secure, well cared for, and treated like family.
About: Although most people see this as a job, i see pet-sitting as a fun and exciting opportunity to make new friends all with their own personalities:)! Seeing as i don’t really find myself going out much now-a-days, pet sitting seems like the only right option needed to be taken way sooner. I believe in everyone having their own schedules for their babies, so i try to keep their routines to allow more comfort for all parties.
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 was such a life saver for me when I was in the area. She took great care of my dog Roo and sent so many pictures and videos throughout Roo’s stay. I felt so at ease knowing Roo was being well taken care of like she was one of their own. Will definitely have them sit for us again!”
“Louisa was fantastic and very responsive when we had a last minute emergency need for a sitter. She always sent pictures of the dogs and provided a great peace of mind knowing she was out the house to both me and my fiancee. I will definitely have her back for any future plans!”
“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.”
“Robert was great! He sent updates and photos throughout the weekend. Our girl was well taken care of but still excited to see us. Will definitely use Robert again!”
“Alway a great experience. Every time we leave Dexter with Kendall and Matthew is peace of mind for us. Dexter really enjoys staying with them and we know he's going to be safe.”
“He was an amazing sitter for Diamond and truly went above and beyond! He made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. He kept me updated with pictures every day, was very communicative, and even made her little treats. He made me feel completely at ease knowing Diamond was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I will definitely be booking with him again if I ever need someone to watch Diamond. I highly recommend him!”
“Alicia is the best pet sitter! This was the first time we left our dog, Luna, with someone else and Alicia eased all my worries. She’s very experienced and laid back, which helped me feel confident that Luna would be well cared for. She sent photos daily and kept me updated on how Luna was adjusting. Alicia also spoiled her with long walks and snuggles (her two favorite things)! Alicia’s dog, Maggie, was very sweet and friendly as well and the two dogs were playing and snuggling together after just one day. I would highly recommend Alicia and will definitely use her again.”
“I love sitting my dog Chop with Franceska & Daniel, he’s been with them several times now and he loves staying over. He really enjoys their company and I love having them sit since they seem to have such a genuine connection with my dog as well as Chops connection with their dog Atlas. It makes me excited that they are excited to sit for him every time I reach out :)”

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 have had the blessing of caring for animals my entire life. I currently have 3 cats (Larry, Curly, and Moe). Having grown up in a pet friendly household, spending plenty of time on the family farm, and working as an apprentice groomer, I have a wide variety of personal and professional experience with animals of all sizes. (To name a few: Cats, dogs, domestic and wild birds, chickens, ponies, goats, calves, and reptiles.) I have experience caring for pets of all ages/stages as well, such as bottle-feeding kittens, or administering medication and subcutaneous fluids to elderly or special needs pets. I would be more than happy to care for your pets so that you can feel at ease while you are away from your furry family member(s). As a stay-at-home mom of one, I have a very flexible schedule that I build around the needs of my clients and their pets’ needs. In-home care for my clients and their pets focuses on maintaining a stable, familiar routine for your pet(s) while providing care services according to their needs. Whether this be ensuring your pet is fed and has plenty of water (or treats if allowed), to keeping them entertained with play and belly pets. As a guest in your home, I take extra care to respect boundaries and maintain cleanliness during my visits. My dog walking services are handled with awareness and attention to our surroundings to avoid potential risks such as vehicles or other aggressive dogs. Due to our climate, during warmer seasons, I pay particular attention to ensure your pup does not become overheated. Additionally, I supply my own waste bags to dispose of waste properly.
