Personalized care for your dog or cat - Iamonia
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Iamonia
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ EXCEPTIONAL CARE — HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We recently entrusted our 1-year-old English Springer Spaniel, Simba, to her care for a full week, and the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. From the very first interaction, we felt confident that Simba would be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment—and she delivered beyond anything we expected. Throughout Simba’s stay, we received frequent updates, including videos that showed him playing, relaxing, and genuinely enjoying himself. Those moments of seeing him happy and thriving brought us tremendous peace of mind, especially since he’s still young and full of energy. It was clear that she not only understood his personality and needs but embraced them wholeheartedly. Simba received total care—exercise, affection, engagement, and a home-like atmosphere that made him feel secure and welcomed. He bonded quickly, and it was obvious he felt right at home. Knowing our fur buddy was so well taken care of allowed us to enjoy our time away without worry. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine love for animals set her apart. It is rare to find someone who goes above and beyond with such consistency, but she truly did. Simba came home happy, well-rested, and full of joy—proof of the exceptional attention he received. We give our highest recommendation to anyone seeking premium, trustworthy, and heartfelt care for their pets. We will absolutely be returning for future stays, and are grateful to have found someone we trust so completely with our beloved Simba. If you’re searching for someone who will treat your dog like their own—look no further. She is exceptional. 🐾❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience with leaving our Pomeranian with Kendall and Matthew. They kept us updated with pictures and were very polite and caring to our dog (Kai). I would definitely use them again in the future.”
“We have used Diana before and we will be using her again. She is very caring and send us pictures of Duke several times a day and we like that. We give Diana five stars !”
“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!”
“Very accommodating host. I felt very comfortable leaving Forrestt in her care and knew he would be well taken care of. Injury had limited my ability to exercise him and he got plenty at her house with the other dogs. Not just observing mine but also the other dogs in her care we’re well taken care of. Certainly will use again. Certainly would recommend to others.”
“Umphrey had an amazing time staying with Robert. I was invited inside at drop off to check out the environment for my dog and knew that my pup would be well taken care of. There was ample space for Umphrey to enjoy inside and a fully fenced in yard to play in out back. I received multiple updates each day and was truly at ease while away from my pup! Will 100% use Robert again in the future, thank you!”
“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!”
“I completely trust Madelyn to care for my dog Charlie. He loves her family and their dog Penny! Madelyn is great to communicate with and easy going. She kept me updated during Charlie’s stay and shared photos which allowed us to enjoy our trip with full confidence that our dog was well taken care of.”
“Nilanie did a great job watching our dog, Lola, while we were out of town for a few days. She sent adorable photos everyday of our pup and provided consistent updates on how she was adjusting. Definitely recommend!”
“Colette is amazing, and my Rowdy absolutely loves her. She is always on time, and a great communicator. Rowdy always comes home happy and healthy, 10/10 always recommend. Thanks Colette!!”
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.
“Amanda was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Teddie! She treated her like family and kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Teddie was so happy, comfortable, and clearly loved during her stay. Amanda’s communication was outstanding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We are incredibly grateful and would trust her with Teddie again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”
“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 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.
About: For the past 8 years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets — from energetic puppies to senior companions, as well as cats, parrots, and fish. I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, shapes, and sizes, handling everything from walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime to litter cleaning and providing attentive companionship. Through this hands-on experience, I’ve learned how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that means keeping up with a playful pup’s energy or providing gentle, patient care for older pets. Beyond meeting their daily needs, I focus on building trust and creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment so every pet feels at home while you’re away. My dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals shine through in the care I provide. When you book with me, you’re choosing someone who will treat your pet like family and give them the personalized attention they deserve. View my calendar to find dates that align with your schedule and needs. My availability is very clear! Leaving more than enough time for me to visit and cater to your pet's needs. I currently have completely open availability in my schedule. I am open to visits, walks, house sittings, or overnight stays. I have a fenced backyard where your fur baby will have ample space to roam. I am also more than willing to visit clients' homes.
“We were happy to have found Katie!. Our senior dog Jack spent the day and night in her home this past Saturday while we made a quick out of town trip. Katie’s house was very convenient and she made Jack feel like part of their family. We enjoyed viewing the video and pics that she sent as well!”
“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.”

Cat caregivers near you - Iamonia
“Alex was amazing! Our cat can be feisty but thanks to Alex’s understanding of cat behavior she was able to make her as comfortable as possible while we were away. Our cat actually seemed to be fond of Alex and warmed up to her quickly! Alex always made sure the cat got as much (or as little) attention as she wanted, plenty of playtime, and kept up her usual routine for wet food. Alex was also very communicative, so it was fun to get so many pictures of our cat. I would definitely hire Alex 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.”
“Olivia was friendly, courteous, professional, and reliable. She communicated well and took many pictures with each visit. We trust her with our cats and will book with her again.”
“Jill took great care of my cat while I was out of town! My cat is usually very shy and takes a while to warm up to new people, but Jill had won her over by the end of the weekend.”
“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 :)”
“Iomar took excellent care of our cat and guinea pigs! We received lots of adorable photos while we were away, and it was clear they were well taken care of. We would book again!”

Since 2021, l have had numerous experiences pet sitting for dogs and cats. My availability is extremely flexible, as apart from pet sitting, l am only working part time as a dance/yoga instructor.

About: I work at FSU (as a 9-month contract faculty), so I'm totally free (full time at home) during the summer. I love dog and I have owned one small dog 'Sadie' since 2013. She is very friendly, enthusiastic and gets along well with other dogs in our neighborhood. Sadie likes walking, so I take her to a walk twice a day in the mornings and in the evenings. I'd like to extend my love to your dog, especially for those who don't have the privilege to take care of their dogs full time. I have a large fenced yard. There is beautiful grass almost everywhere in my neighborhood. I can follow any directions given, and send updates throughout the day if wanted. If you are curious about the dog sitting time lapse in the past three years, that's because we had a baby daughter in the year of 2000. She is now 3 years old and she is a dog lover as well! The other reason is that our dog Sadie was paralyzed and we had to spend a lot time taking care of her. Fortunately she has been recovering very well and now she can walk normally (sometimes with a sling support on her back) as happy as she is always. We have learned how to take good care of a special needs dog. I'm currently on my summer vacation (as a 9-month contract faculty at FSU), so I have plenty of time to play with your pets and take good care of them as I do with my own dog - Sadie. I have a large fenced yard with a large covered patio and a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. With four bedrooms and a large sunroom, I can easily crate your pet or put in a separate (private) room if needed.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and love them both. I currently have 2 dogs, ages 5 and 3, both are dog friendly. If you need someone to come walk your furbaby or play with them for a bit, I would love to help you and them feel more at ease. I currently work full time, but have time before 7am or after 4:30 to help you and your furbaby. Ideal for workers with long hours or just want an extra walk to exercise. If your pup also need bath for evenings or weekend booking: $25 for dogs 40lbs and under, $30 for 41-60lbs, $40 for 60lbs+ - please provide any necessary equipment ans supplies (i.e. hose with running water, muzzle (if they get nervous or nip while being washed), specialty shampoo, etc.) And i do offer this as a seperate service. DM me on the app of your want just a dog bath. I have a fenced in backyard and I walk my babies a few times a week, as well. My dogs are both 50-60lbs and I have no issues walking them at the same time, so I can walk dogs up to 80lbs depending on leash training.
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. I have flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs, and I love to have detailed communication to make sure that we are always on the same page. As a sitter I am prepared to follow your pet's schedule and specific needs to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. I would want to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure I have a clear grasp on their schedule and needs and follow them precisely. I am very detailed when it comes to directions for my own pets so I am prepared to give your babies the same care I want for mine. I have so much in depth experience with dogs growing up on a homestead, and many of those experiences involved emergencies. I know what signs to look for to make sure your dog is safe and healthy, and will always err on the side of complete caution. I have a strong respect for safety and health and want your dog to not only be taken care of but observed in depth to make sure they are getting everything they need from me. I hope to leave every client better connected with their dogs.
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Iamonia
“How could you top this? Ainla took care of our beagle Berry as if she (Berry) was her own. She gave us numerous updates throughout the day, properly balanced between play and rest time, and showed tremendous passion to accommodate Berry's needs. Ainla's neighborhood is safe, quiet, and she has a nice backyard for the dogs to play. After a single visit, my wife and I decided to stick with her. I strongly recommend Ainla for those who want their furry pals be in great hands.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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!”
“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.”

“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.”

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.

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).

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 taken care of animals, for quite sometime. I used to live on a farm, so I can do chickens, goats, pigs, horses, cows. Dogs and cats are just my go too. I have 2 dogs of my own, and 5 cats. I have fostered plenty of kittens for the shelter, and all of my babies were rescues. As of right now, I got let go. I have open availability for when you leave for vacation. Or just go out of town for work. I take my dogs to the dog park twice a week, and a fenced in back yard. My boys like to dig in the litter box, so when I'm not home, I do crate them. Other than that, they hang out with the cats or outside.
About: I’ve walked neighbors’ dogs and cat-sat throughout high school, giving me real experience caring for pets with different needs and personalities. I’m very attentive and great at following instructions, whether that means specific feeding times, walk routines, or special care notes. I always aim to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I’m currently attending cosmetology school Monday through Thursday from 8am–3pm, so I’m available for pet care after 3pm on weekdays, as well as evenings and most weekends. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to work around your pet’s routine. I have a cat of my own and regularly help care for my parents’ two cats and one dog, so I’m very comfortable around pets. I follow instructions closely and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for 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: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs since I was a kid. I worked at a kennel previously and have experience bathing, feeding, administering medication, and walking dogs. I have a Labrador Retriever that I regularly bathe, clip his nails, and clean his ears! I also have a cat as well. I have experience caring for many other animals too! I just graduated and would love to work out house sitting, drop in visits, or walks within my schedule and responsibilities! Most weekends I am available too! I prefer drop-in visits, or to stay at your home. I have experience doing both. I am open to different things and routines, so just let me know!

About: Throughout my life, I have always been drawn to animals. I have grown up interacting with dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, and more. In 2016, my family dog, Cayson, entered my life. Through caring for him, my love for animals intensified, as well as my caretaking skills. In my career, I am a caregiver, and that definitely spills over into how I take care of animals: with love, understanding, and care. I am currently working part-time as a CNA, so my weeks are relatively flexible. I have reliable transportation and I’m willing to travel to best accommodate owners. I care for any and all pets through asking the owner very thorough questions, paying attention to detail, and extending the same love and care I have for my own pet onto them.

“We had a wonderful experience with leaving our Pomeranian with Kendall and Matthew. They kept us updated with pictures and were very polite and caring to our dog (Kai). I would definitely use them again in the future.”
“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!”
“Very accommodating host. I felt very comfortable leaving Forrestt in her care and knew he would be well taken care of. Injury had limited my ability to exercise him and he got plenty at her house with the other dogs. Not just observing mine but also the other dogs in her care we’re well taken care of. Certainly will use again. Certainly would recommend to others.”
“Umphrey had an amazing time staying with Robert. I was invited inside at drop off to check out the environment for my dog and knew that my pup would be well taken care of. There was ample space for Umphrey to enjoy inside and a fully fenced in yard to play in out back. I received multiple updates each day and was truly at ease while away from my pup! Will 100% use Robert again in the future, thank you!”
“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!”
“I completely trust Madelyn to care for my dog Charlie. He loves her family and their dog Penny! Madelyn is great to communicate with and easy going. She kept me updated during Charlie’s stay and shared photos which allowed us to enjoy our trip with full confidence that our dog was well taken care of.”
“Nilanie did a great job watching our dog, Lola, while we were out of town for a few days. She sent adorable photos everyday of our pup and provided consistent updates on how she was adjusting. Definitely recommend!”
“Colette is amazing, and my Rowdy absolutely loves her. She is always on time, and a great communicator. Rowdy always comes home happy and healthy, 10/10 always recommend. Thanks Colette!!”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Teddie! She treated her like family and kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Teddie was so happy, comfortable, and clearly loved during her stay. Amanda’s communication was outstanding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We are incredibly grateful and would trust her with Teddie again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”
“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.”

“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.”
“Yara and her family were so friendly and Oreo fit in well with her crew. She sent pics throughout the stay and kept us updated and was extremely responsive for dropoff and pickup.”
“We want to take the time to express our gratitude to Ms. Marissa S. She took excellent care of our girl Oli while we were away. She treated Oli as if one of the family. We received regular updates and pictures giving us a peace of mind. We will definitely be reaching out to her anytime we need help with our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“This was our first time to ever leave our dog for more than a day so we were worried how he would adjust. However, it went splendidly with Zai and her family! She eased my worries with photos of Fraser happily hanging with them and Zai gave me regular updates. It is comforting to know we have a second home for him so maybe we will travel more!”
“Richard was thorough and loving with our weird boys. This was our first time leaving our dogs with him and he made sure they were comfortable (and safe to be around his dogs) before we left. I appreciated that and could tell our dogs would be safe in his care.”
