Highly-rated overnight sitters - Meridian
“I left my little kitten Tilly with Ms.Stacy for about 2 weeks and she was in excellent care, consistent updates and picture, and very friendly cats to help with her separation anxiety, and food my picky kitty would eat. I would leave Tilly with Ms.Stacy again in a heartbeat.”
“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!”
“We were so happy with Diana, she was easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and he came home happy and healthy. We will definitely be requesting her 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!”
“My family just moved to Tallahassee, and we thought finding someone to trust with our fur baby would be difficult. It was such a pleasure to use the Rover app and find Judith D. She is very professional and knowledgeable of taking care of fur babies. Our 12 yr old fur baby, Foxy Diva, had such a great time. Foxy is more playful and energetic. Judith D. is absolutely the best. Highly recommend!!!”
“Robert was communicative, welcoming, and kind to our Jazz. He has a beautiful backyard and likes to go on walks which was perfect for us. We will definitely reach out to Robert again to see if he is available to watch Jazz.”
“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!”
“Ain took great care of our puppy Leroy while we were in France - she was a great communicator and sent us frequent video updates which we loved. We would definitely recommend her to others!”
“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.”
“Very friendly, communicative, and loving to my sweet pups! They normally don’t eat when we travel because they’re missing us, but they even ate the night we left, says a lot about her character. Will absolutely use her again for future travels!!”
“Franceska and Daniel are the very best! Apollo has a great time every time he goes over. He and Atlas have so much fun. We feel so safe having our boy in there care and he can’t wait to go back!!”
“Heather took such wonderful care of my babies. One is on meds and she gave him the dosages as prescribed. He looked better than when I dropped him off! She sent photos and message updates 3-4 times a day. Madison warmed up quickly and was giving orders. She could’ve done a TikTok 😂. Thanks, Heather, for the TLC. See you in September.”
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.
“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.”
“Andrea took such good care of Forrest! She is so sweet and attentive. I especially alpreciated that she kept me updated all weekend with photos and videos. You can tell her love for animals. Will be rebooking!”
“This was Siggy’s first Rover sleepover and Amanda was so patient with our sweet girl! Siggy had a blast playing with Milly and we got pictures and lots of updates! Looking forward to sharing our girl with Amanda again.”
“Lisa was great! My dog Ricky is relaxed and looks like he enjoyed his weekend away. Lisa gave plenty of updates and was easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and will use her again.”

“Alexandra is very kind and professional. She's perfect for our cat, which unfortunately wasn't always the case with other pet sitters. We've hired her three times already. She handles our cat wonderfully and makes adorable videos while talking to him. We highly recommend Alexandra!”
“Thank you so much Katie!! She was able to do a last minute drop in visit for my babies including a longer distance drive. she was very communicative and made sure that everything was taken care of.”
About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I started training animals at the age of 16, which helped me learn how to understand different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Our home is full of love—we have two sweet doodles who are part of our family, and two children who absolutely adore animals and enjoy helping give them attention and care. Pets in our home are treated like family, with plenty of patience, affection, and playtime. We are kind, loving people who take pet care seriously. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, structured care, or just a safe and happy place while you’re away, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible daily schedule and allows me to be present with pets throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and affection. In my home, pets are treated like family. I don’t believe in isolating animals—pets are welcome on the couch, in the bed, and anywhere they feel comfortable. I believe cuddles, affection, and feeling safe are just as important as food and walks, so your pet will get plenty of love and attention while staying with us. They will be allowed to play in our large fence yard and pool. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I follow instructions exactly as requested. I respect your routines, rules, and preferences so your pet’s care stays consistent and stress-free. Whether that means crate time, specific feeding schedules, or house rules, I make sure everything is done the way you want.
“Mimi was the best choice for our fur babies. They immediately fell in love with her and she treated them as her own. I would 100% recommend her for any cat sitting inquiries. She always kept us posted with how they were doing and sent us loads of super cute photos of them. The cats were very happy to be under her care. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all kinds of pets from reptiles, to amphibians to everything in between and more. I absolutely adore animals! I’m not working right now due to personal reasons and would love to do something with pets regardless of what it is. I’ve always wanted to get into the vet field I cannot care for pets in my home due to me renting. Maybe in the future I will be able to care for them in my home as well.
“Shelby's absolutely great, dependable and offered kitty care on short notice when another person cancelled at the last minute - so grateful for her support and extra things she does to care for my plants and bring in packages in our absence!! I highly recommend her!!”
“I am so happy to have found Kelly to care for our Bubba Kitty! Kelly came out to meet Bubba and see out place and the places he likes to hang out. She was so sweet I knew he'd be in good hands! The communication was excellent and she sent adorable pictures and a great description of her visits with him! We will absolutely use her services in the future! I would recommend her to absolutely anyone! 5 stars all day long!”
“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!”
“Jakharia watched my kitties for two weeks while I was away and she was amazing!!! Communicating with her was easy, she was great. I would definitely let her watch my cats while I am gone again.”
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.
“Morgan was great! We received regular updates on our two boys and lots of pictures. She communicated well and asked questions if she needed anything! We will definitely be booking her for drop in visits again!”
“This was our first time having anyone watch our rabbit and Lacy was wonderful with him!! We received pictures and messages after every visit. Lacy also did a meet and greet, which was super helpful! We would definitely ask Lacy to watch our little guy again and highly recommend them!”
About: During my time as a CNA, I spent close to a year nuturing my clients’ cats, through feeding, visits to the vet, and care. In addition, I have several friends who have cats who I’ve spent time building a strong and trusting relationship with.
About: I have a 10months dog that I love, is my daughter. Her name is Papaya. I have a routine to walk and play with the ball 3 times and sometimes 4 times a day. When my family and friends need help with their pets I’m always the one because they know how much I love animals. And in my parents house I also have 3 cats that I rescued. I live with my husband, he loves animals too, but he works all the day I’m at home all day with papaya. I’m grateful to take care of your pet. I’m all day at home so I can take care of your pet when needed! I can walk, play, feed, sleep with the pet and give them love. Papaya my dog is so friendly, and she loves share all her pets with other dogs, I have food, I have everything the dog needs to be happy. I always go out with the dog leash and take care with people and others pets. I have in my neighborhood a dog park so I let them play inside de dog park.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for two years. I am more used to taking care of 3 big dogs at a time. I love all types of dogs and all size of dogs. I also I have been taking care of senior dogs and dogs that have diets. I’m currently working a part time job. I will be able to plan meet ups and be able to respond anytime. I usually won’t be able to spend the night considering I do have a dog myself. I want to make this know I will NOT be able to house animals in my house. Reason I can’t is because my dog has anxiety and if she gets stressed out she gets aggressive.
“I highly recommend Shelby. She’s friendly and personable and left our house in great shape. The kitties were fed and watered as requested and she even snapped a few photos. She was here when she said she would be and is a stellar sitter :)”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Meridian
“Ainla was recommended by our vet. Our two year old dog Sonny is a bit anxious when meeting new people/animals so we didn’t know how his first Rover dayboarding would go. Well, we can report that it went very well! Ainla gave us regular updates and went above and beyond. Sonny will definitely go to her again! 5 stars!”
“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 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.”

“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!”
“We are so grateful and lucky to have found Colin and Yolmary. It can be so difficult to find people you trust with your loved ones; we feel completely confident leaving Peaches in their care. Peaches can be very nervous and anxious about doggy day care, but she is so clearly excited to go to their house every day and spend time with Kiki and Yolmary! She’s very expressive when she’s uncomfortable, so the fact that she happily walks right up to their house and is excited to be there says everything we need to know. They send lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, which we love. Peaches also gets plenty of walks and chances to exploe. I’ts obvious she’s safe and happy. We hope to be with Colin and Yolmary for a long time and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for loving and trustworthy care.”
“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 !!”
“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.”
“Navi seemed comfortable around Ashley and her bf; they are very prompt to respond and sent me updates. Overall a good daycare! Thanks so much for taking care of Navi, he was very pleased and happy ?”

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 have been dog sitting for friends and neighbors since the day I got my drivers license! We recently moved to Tallahassee, and after dog sitting for a mutual friend, I realized this is something I really enjoy — and my dog does too! While we’re not in a position to get her a sibling, I know she’d love the company of other dogs. We have a large fenced in back yard and a large crate (to be used only if that is your preference). I’ll brag that my dog is great with other dogs — she senses what they need, and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body. What a great opportunity to know your dog is having as much fun as you are while you’re away! As someone who works from home, I generally let my dog out in the morning before starting work. I can easily let the dog(s) out as often as possible during the day. I can take breaks to play, but generally save any structured activity for after work. In the evenings we love to take walks around the neighborhood or through a local park. With more time on the weekends, we enjoy driving to explore longer walks and greenways. Although I have obligations out of the house, the longest I’m away from home any given day is usually no longer than 4 hours total. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly dog who loves to play, but also understands boundaries. Although we don’t use the crate for our dog anymore, we still have a large crate that can be used if that is your preference. We have a one story house but do have stairs up to the house and into the yard.
“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. 🙏😊💯”

“Kailey was very prompt and very professional. She was able to handle Toby with great care. Toby seems to love her already. I would recommend her for dog walking without a doubt.”
“First walk with Katie and a very active and shy Lagotto! She did awesome. I love how she tried to work with him and his leash needs and practiced discernment around other dogs. Caper came back smiling and she now napping. Couldn’t ask for more and I look forward to establishing a consistent relationship with her”

About: 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 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 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: 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.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and was always an active participant in caring for them. I started pet sitting for dogs and cats in middle school. Honestly, I just miss having pets around and would love to care for your baby. My job is hybrid so I can work remote and take breaks as needed. I am a homebody so even when I go into the office I am usually home by 5:30 at the latest and around for the whole evening. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment at all times. In both my home and a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routines, diet, and care instructions closely. I live in an apartment, but I enjoy taking walks around the complex and the neighborhood so pets still get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My parents’ dog is allergic to chicken, so I’m very aware of how important it is to stick to specific diets and how serious the consequences can be if instructions aren’t followed. I’m great at following directions while also making sure pets have a fun, enriching, and comfortable experience.
About: In my childhood I had many cats and I have now had a dog for almost 8 years! I started dog sitting about 3 years ago for my neighbors and I really enjoy it. I have taken care of their dogs while they were on vacation and have also dropped in while they were working. I have been around pets my whole life and I love them! I love going on walks and playing with them and am very passionate about animal care. I currently work part time at a bakery but my schedule is pretty flexible around that. I do school mostly online so work is the only time I wouldn’t be with the pet! I never work in afternoons, only in the mornings. Contact me and I can work a shcedule out for you! I am very diligent about following instructions for your pet and I am respectful of both your space and the pet! I am also very diligent about safety and will do my best to keep an eye on your pet the whole time. I will clean any messes that may be made and check locks before leaving every time. I always make it a habit to check for food, water, any potential messes, and locks every visit.
About: College student with flexible hours. I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, including growing up with an American Bully and a Boxer, and now my own French Bulldog at home. I'm curently at college and miss the joy of my dog. I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs, and I enjoy providing love, attention, and care to match. From walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and energy levels, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am a full-time student at the University of Alabama, but I have complete availability on Thursdays and weekends. I am also currently looking for a part-time position and would love the opportunity to care for your pets during these times. I treat every pet like part of my family. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, maintain the pet’s routine, and give them the same care, attention, and affection I would for my own dog. I also make sure to give updates so owners feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I have a 10months dog that I love, is my daughter. Her name is Papaya. I have a routine to walk and play with the ball 3 times and sometimes 4 times a day. When my family and friends need help with their pets I’m always the one because they know how much I love animals. And in my parents house I also have 3 cats that I rescued. I live with my husband, he loves animals too, but he works all the day I’m at home all day with papaya. I’m grateful to take care of your pet. I’m all day at home so I can take care of your pet when needed! I can walk, play, feed, sleep with the pet and give them love.

“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 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!”
