“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!”
“This was my first experience with Rover. We had a last minute opportunity to leave town for the weekend and unfortunately at a hotel and venue that were not pet friendly. Contacted Reymun on Thursday and he was able to take Sophie on Friday! We'd previously put her in a kennel once and it was clearly very stressful for her. While Reymun said he was open for long walks he also said he was cool with sitting on the couch watching TV. Sophie is older and sleeping through movies is her favorite pastime! We picked her up on Sunday relaxed and comfortable. Would recommend Reymun and if needed, I will contact him again!”
“Poe loved his stay with Kendall and Matthew! I got lots of photos and loved seeing him enjoying their backyard. My pup can’t wait to stay with them again!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“Richard was amazing with our Ginny girl! He did some great training with her and her recall has significantly improved. He took wonderful care of her and you could tell she was such a happy girl with him. Thank you Richard!”
“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!”
“This was a last minute booking; Colette was very accommodating. She sent daily photos of Reggie; he likes posing for the camera. Reggie had a great time and we’re looking forward to doing it again.”

“Judith and her girls were very sweet and caring with our Nico. She sent lots of pics and videos which was really encouraging since this was our first time boarding our fur baby. It was a huge relief to know he was in loving hands!”
“We left our puppy (well - almost a dog - 11 months) with Ain for 7 days. Ain took really good.care. Despite inclement weather - it rained near constantly for all the 7 days. Our pup has a lot of hair - Ain had to give him a bath twice. And she kept us constantly updated - sending us photos and messages. She is very calm, loving and caring!!”
About: I am a vet tech with 10 years of experience in the field. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I pet sit for friends and family and am happy to share my services with those in need. I love dogs and cats to my core. I work full time at a specialty vet clinic in town. I have Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off to spend time socializing with your pets. From 7-8:30 am on a typical work day will be spent getting pets ready for the day. Feeding breakfast, morning meditations if needed, play time in the fenced yard. Then from 12-1 will be when they are let out again during my lunch break. From 3-7 someone that lives in the house is home to check on the needs of the pets in the house. After 7 I will be home for dinner time, play time, and getting ready for bed. I have a spare bedroom dedicated for boarding pets. I have a play pen, and dog crates if needed. I have a fenced in yard. All my furniture in my house is pet friendly. I have dogs and cats that live in my home and are friendly with other dogs and cats. Also a meet and greet beforehand is always a good idea.
“Our dog loves staying with Melanie! She loves exploring the property. It's a fun vacation for her, and we have appreciated Melanie's communication and care for our fur kid. We will be using Melanie again!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats and even horses since the age of 9. From drop ins, dog walking, overnights and even puppy classes I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have potty trained, crate trained, and taught basic commands to both puppy and adult dogs. I have cared for senior dogs and have experience giving meds and care for post surgery/medical procedure. From the time I was a child I have loved being trusted to care for neighbors and friends animals while they were away. No animal is off limits as I love them all! I look forward to meeting and working with you and yours! I am currently staying at home while my husband works so my schedule is very open. Every day of the week is a possibility for drop ins or overnight care. I live in a home with plenty of space to crate your baby if they stay the night, ensuring their safety and ours. I currently own a 75lb goldendoodle who loves playing with other dogs. My neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly and is lined on a paved circle perfect for walking dogs. I usually do an AM and PM walk to allow dogs to potty, along with intermittently taking them out throughout the day. Most play time happens inside where there is a much lower risk of escape or overheating.
“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!”

“Took great care of my little Ralphie! She took care and kept me constantly updated with how things were going. Diligently showed up at the times I needed for Ralphie. I would certainly use Katie again should I need her to watch my cat.”

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 occasionally work in afternoons, sometimes 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.

About: Although my profile is new to Rover, I am well versed in the experience for years. My mother has been a Rover sitter since I was a child and I have much experience with her going to help at clients houses. I have experience with dogs of all ages from birth to end of life, as well as cats. I am an avid animal lover and owner of exotic pets as well. I grew up on a homestead and have experience with many types of pets including livestock! Dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, birds, insects and invertebrates, I have experience with them all. I grew up with 10 dogs! My schedule is very open. I am currently post bachelors taking a break from school, as well as pursuing my degrees in Art and Anthropology.

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.).
“Theo was so great and helpful! Sent many photos and updates, offered help, even swept up the litter. Our cat is usually very shy, but she loved Theo! Will definitely be contacting Theo again if we need a sitter :)”
“Taylor did a great job with my two cats. She communicated clearly, sent pictures, and dealt with some peculiar kitten behavior. Overall, I found her to be a reliable pet sitter and I would book again.”
“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.”

“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.

“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 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 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!”
“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.”
“Yo, Caleb was very responsive from initial contact. 🤩👍👏 Directions were clear. Caleb was very flexible with his time and I appreciate the couple of hours he watched my baby. Lil Bit and I will see you again. Thanks again man. 🙏😊💯”
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. I’m very committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care for your pet! I am currently off from school and I am not working for the whole summer, so I have open availability until August! 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! 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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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: 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’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: Dogs have always been a passion of mine. I find joy in being able to care for another being - especially dogs. I just recently fostered a 10 week old puppy this year, he has now found his furever home. Am comfortable with every dog! ❤️ I have a pretty laid back job that will allow me to leave when needed to walk/take care of dogs etc. Mostly available for long walkings at night I am easy to learn your specific schedules and practices with your dogs. I understand that there are certain ways people like their home and animals to collaborate.
“Abigail was fantastic with Spirit. She met him when he wasn’t feeling his best and showed so much patience and care while he recovered. He’s now back to his old happy self! Thank you for going the extra mile. Highly recommend!”
“Jordyn took great care of my girl, who was super anxious to spend the night without mommy. Jordyn spent extra time to comfort her which was greatly appreciated. I will definitely use her again 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 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.).
About: What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I’ve spent years working closely with animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. 🧒🐶 For nearly a decade, I ran the summer camp at my local Humane Society, caring for animals daily and teaching kids how to do the same. 🐕🦺 I’ve raised dogs my whole life and once cared for seven huskies—from newborn pups to seniors. 😺 I have plenty of experience with cats, including shy ones, playful ones, and those who need extra patience. What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience, dependability, and a calm, respectful approach to each pet’s personality. Whether it’s drop-ins or keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space. I have a flexible work schedule and plenty of time for pet care. I also go on lots of walks, so your pup will get plenty of fresh air and exercise! 🐕🦺🌳 When I care for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, routine, and safety. 🏡 I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medication, or favorite spots for walks or naps. I make sure doors, gates, and anything hazardous are secure, and I take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. 🐾
About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats and even horses since the age of 9. From drop ins, dog walking, overnights and even puppy classes I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have potty trained, crate trained, and taught basic commands to both puppy and adult dogs. I have cared for senior dogs and have experience giving meds and care for post surgery/medical procedure. From the time I was a child I have loved being trusted to care for neighbors and friends animals while they were away. No animal is off limits as I love them all! I look forward to meeting and working with you and yours! I am currently staying at home while my husband works so my schedule is very open. Every day of the week is a possibility for drop ins or overnight care. I live in a home with plenty of space to crate your baby if they stay the night, ensuring their safety and ours. I currently own a 75lb goldendoodle who loves playing with other dogs. My neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly and is lined on a paved circle perfect for walking dogs. I usually do an AM and PM walk to allow dogs to potty, along with intermittently taking them out throughout the day. Most play time happens inside where there is a much lower risk of escape or overheating.
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was about 10 years old. Throughout the years I have cared for my neighbors and family friends pets along side my own pups. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I plan my days so that walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are done consistently and on schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and exercise so their pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine, provide walks and playtime, keep food and water fresh, and make sure the home stays tidy. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while their owners are gone.
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).

“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!”
“This was my first experience with Rover. We had a last minute opportunity to leave town for the weekend and unfortunately at a hotel and venue that were not pet friendly. Contacted Reymun on Thursday and he was able to take Sophie on Friday! We'd previously put her in a kennel once and it was clearly very stressful for her. While Reymun said he was open for long walks he also said he was cool with sitting on the couch watching TV. Sophie is older and sleeping through movies is her favorite pastime! We picked her up on Sunday relaxed and comfortable. Would recommend Reymun and if needed, I will contact him again!”
“Poe loved his stay with Kendall and Matthew! I got lots of photos and loved seeing him enjoying their backyard. My pup can’t wait to stay with them again!”

“Richard was amazing with our Ginny girl! He did some great training with her and her recall has significantly improved. He took wonderful care of her and you could tell she was such a happy girl with him. Thank you Richard!”
“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!”
“This was a last minute booking; Colette was very accommodating. She sent daily photos of Reggie; he likes posing for the camera. Reggie had a great time and we’re looking forward to doing it again.”

“We left our puppy (well - almost a dog - 11 months) with Ain for 7 days. Ain took really good.care. Despite inclement weather - it rained near constantly for all the 7 days. Our pup has a lot of hair - Ain had to give him a bath twice. And she kept us constantly updated - sending us photos and messages. She is very calm, loving and caring!!”
