“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!”
“Our second time having our dog stay with them and they were great again! Always stayed in touch with us and sent us pictures. Also let us know if she was having any issues. Our dog always has a blast when she stays there. Would highly recommend booking them!”
“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!!”
“Colette is our trusted caregiver for Lucca. Not only is she totally responsible and loving she is a frequent and fun communicator. We never worry when she has Lucca and Lucca never looks back when Colette takes the leash!”
“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.”
“Robert is a fantastic sitter! We just booked him for the day this time to see how our dog Otto would react to being left at a stranger's house. He took to Robert right away and seemed to have a great time with him. And Robert's mid-day update, including several happy dog photos, was greatly appreciated. My husband and I won't hesitate to book him again.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience! Rebecca is reliable, caring, and treated our dog like their own. Communication was excellent, and I loved receiving updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pet was in such good hands. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again!”
“I am happy that I found Julia on Rover. We had a meet and greet before the actual drop off date. She provided updates, pictures and videos everyday during my trip. She also went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable due to her having anxiety around new people and places. I highly recommend Julia and I will be using her again in the near future :)”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“It’s like Judith said in her bio. The dogs didn’t really miss us. The love and affection they received was quite evident. Our pets were happy to see us, but looked and acted as they longed to stay longer. Thank you sooo much for the love, attention, texts, and pictures!”
“Our first time using Anna and won't be our last. Our dog seemed to have enjoyed herself and was tuckered out when we picked her up. Anna was very communicative and responsive on our last minute arrangements.”

“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.

“Lisa was great taking care of our fur babies. We got plenty of pictures during her check ins and she even graciously brought in some unexpected packages that my work sent. If we have to leave again, I'd definitely pick Lisa to watch Hank & Dean.”
“Melanie is great! She took good care of our cat and communicated well with detailed daily updates. I will definitely be booking her again next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Andrew deserves more than 5 stars - We were gone during the severe cold snap that hit Tallahassee, and he not only set the spigots to dripping, he came back and checked them on the day when the pipes were temporarily frozen to either shut our water off or adjust them again. Our shy indoor cats are also responding to his visits - something that usually takes a couple of year - so he his working his magic on befriending them. In a nut shell, he has watched over our house and pets like they were his own. It is much appreciated.”
“Iomar did a lovely job with our cat!! Everything looks very clean, our cat seemed to like her, will definitely book her again it, if available :-)”
“We’re so grateful to Natianna for taking such great care of our two cats over the past four months. She was more than just a petsitter. She really gave them love and attention, and it showed. Her care for our cats gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, kind, and clearly cared about them. We feel really lucky to have found her!”
“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!”
“Lillyana was very responsive to us while we were away and always gave a thorough report of how our cats were eating and behaving. Our very timid cat only took a few days to get comfortable around her and she gave them a lot of playful attention and care. She is also super organized with her clients’ keys. We would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Very sweet and caring with my babies Allie and Loki. She took lots of good pictures while we were gone and gave one of my cats meds to! Highly recommend her and trust her with any future visits. :)”

“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.”
“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 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.
“Judith is one of the best sitter that i know. She cared for both of my puppies Khloe and Kobe and she provided extraordinary care. Even when Kobe was sick, she took time out of her schedule to sit with me for the duration of his visit. Not only was she a support to Kobe, she assisted me as being a new mom of two puppies. I will definitely be utilizing her service in the future.”

About: 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. 🐾 I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. We also have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy time outside. In the evenings, we enjoy walks, fetch, or whatever activities your dog loves most. I know how important routines are for pets, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I’m happy to accommodate any specific instructions to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! The dogs get plenty of opportunities throughout the day to go outside, play, explore the fenced-in yard, or relax inside with me while I work. In the evenings, we have more time for outdoor play, walks, fetch, or whatever activities your dog enjoys most. Since I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and supervision. 🐾 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.
“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 ?”
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’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.
“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 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 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.
“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.”

You can count on me! I’m currently unemployed, so that means I’ll have so much time to spend with your fur baby! I have a lot of availability to spend time with your pets! I will meet whatever safety needs your pet may have. Please let me know ahead of time so that I can accommodate your pets needs.
About: I have lived with dogs since I was born and I raised and trained a rescue shepherd puppy during my undergraduate degree. I helped raise my roommates black lab mix and I spent a lot of time at the dog park with both pups. I live in a large home with a large fenced yard so I can let our pets out to play and potty all day long. I am an active animal lover with a lot of free time, my pup adores cats and I am happy to keep them indoors with me. I will run with your dog, bring them to the dog park, take them on long walks, play fetch with them in the yard, and let them out for potty and sniffs every 1-2 hours, or anything else you may need and will allow. I have been a dog walker and sitter for 5 years and I really enjoy it. I have a car and I am available immediately. I hope to meet your furry friend and help make your life a little easier. Your furry friend will have so much fun with lily and I! Work from home and full time student via zoom and occasional campus/errand run. I have one friendly dog and a big fenced yard she loves to play in with friends. I allow pets on furniture and to sleep in the bed if preferred by you! I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog. I let her out hourly as she is very playful and I have the space to do so. I love all animals and want to give them the best life possible. It’s their world, we are all just living in it!

About: I am in a fellowship at Stanford, where I write from home full-time. I recently graduated from University of Miami, and before that I went to Emory where I also took care of pups! Dog-walking and general care provide a stress-free outlet from my writing and research, and a way to engage health and well-being beyond myself. As a member of a big family with many kids, taking care of pets is as natural for me as taking care of my nieces and nephews. Care and consideration are integral to all encounters with pets, and my experience with my nieces and nephews has taught me the necessary patience, attention, and care needed to attend to individuals’ prized family members. When dog walking, I see it as mutual exercise, and when pet sitting it’s mutual time spent. I am interested in extending my personal care to include those who cannot fully care for themselves. 🤗 I’m an artist, so taking care of Jazz and other pups is the main structure of my day. I plan my reading, writing, and screen time around our walks and play time. I rely on our routine for my own benefit as much as keeping a consistent balance for them, too. I believe in infinite grace and freedom. I will let the pets roam free, have their own time, play, and even cuddle when they like. I do have rules around rough playing, getting on furniture, or incessant barking or anything of the like. Most dogs have a way of showing you what the need, and I pride myself on being patient and understanding what exactly that is! Even if they do something I don’t like or that isn’t fair, I see how it can come from excitement or it may be out of their control or simply anxiety, so I also pride myself on setting clear but graceful boundaries that don’t intimidate or scold any pups. Every behavior has a reason!
“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!”

“Madeleine is amazing and hilarious. She gave me the peace of mind of knowing that pet with special needs is in great hands and went above and beyond to help him when he was struggling. Thank you so much!! ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, from small breeds (Boston Terrier) to big dogs (Great Pyrenees) and have always loved caring for them. I also have years of experience fostering dogs (Golden Retrievers), which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to each dog’s unique personality and needs. As an FSU grad student, I’d love the opportunity to spend my free time giving dogs the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Growing up, I fostered Golden Retrievers, which taught me a lot about caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve also had two different Great Pyrenees, so I’m very comfortable caring for large dogs and understand the importance of consistent exercise, feeding, grooming, and attention. On top of that, I’ve dog-sat for several friends’ dogs, giving me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and routines. Overall, I really enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Growing up fostering Golden Retrievers gave me experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve also had two Great Pyrenees, so I’m comfortable with large dogs and understand the importance of proper feeding, exercise, grooming, and attention. I’ve also dog-sat for several friends, which has given me experience adapting to different dogs, routines, and household environments. In a client’s home, I would follow their specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and other daily routines. I also make sure to give pets plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and communicate with the owner about how their pet is doing. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.
About: Hi! I’m your go-to gal with hands-on experience caring for two pit bulls, three cats, and a guinea pig. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, patience, or just a calm, caring presence, I’ve got it covered! With college back in session, my availability varies throughout the week depending on my class schedule. I still work remotely, which gives me some flexibility between classes and on certain days. My Rover calendar will always have my most up-to-date availability, so please feel free to check there or message me if you have any questions about scheduling! I’ll be taking care of the animals in your home, but I’m very organized. I set alarms for feedings, clean up well, and I love playing with them.
“Addison is very professional and takes such great care of our girls! Very patients and follows all instruction to a tee! Very communicative and gives great feedback! She has become our weekly doggie walker and the girls love to see her!”
“Colette is wonderful with my sweet 17-year-old Yorkie, Bentley. He adores spending time with her—whether he’s boarding at her place or enjoying one of their walks together. She’s truly a lifesaver, and I’m so grateful for the love and care she gives him.”
About: I’ve loved growing up with dogs and miss taking care of my own! Friends & neighbors have trusted me to care for their furry friends and pet sitting is a simple pleasure of mine. I work full time with fluctuation in my hours through out the week, so I prefer pets who are ok being left alone throughout the day. I’d love to have a conversation about your specific pets and their needs! I get out every morning and evening for a walk and I’d love a pup to join me. I’m able to spend plenty of time with your dog getting them the exercise they need. I live in an apartment on a quiet street so I’d love to take your dog for walks and plenty of potty breaks. I’m comfortable with their crate if that is your preference as well.
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets for many years! All types of animals as well. I have taken care of high energy dogs like Huskies, and Belgian Malinois. I also have grown up with dogs that can be aggressive and dogs with anxiety. I can administer medication, take them for long walks and play with them thoroughly. I’m working full time but a flexible schedule. I’m usually working mid day with an hour break. And I can adjust my schedule with notice in advance to work around your pets needs. I will gladly play with your pets in a backyard, take them for long walks, play with them inside etc. My pets are like my kids and I will treat yours as such!
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 dogs and cats as pets since I was born! I have experience taking care of neighbor’s pets overnight, and love going for long walks with furry friends. I’m currently training for a 10k, so if your puppy likes to run, I’m happy to take them along with me! I have experience with both large and small dogs, and currently have four large dogs in my family home that I grew up with. I have experience in giving medications to senior dogs, as well as providing comfort care. I also have experience caring for rabbits, as I had one as a pet for 8 years. I currently work as a graduate student at FSU, and have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies! I am also available all day on weekends, including Fridays, for pets that prefer someone constantly home. I love going for long walks around Tallahassee, so dogs with lots of energy would fit perfectly with that. I also enjoy lounging around and taking short strolls if your pet is more low-energy. I can crate a dog if necessary, and am not stranger to animals with strange dietary needs (my own dogs are extremely picky eaters). I have experience giving medications to dogs, cats, and rabbits as well.
About: Reliable, experienced pet sitter with a soft spot for senior animals and those with medical needs. I offer feeding, overnight stays, medication administration, and light housekeeping so you can actually relax while you're away. I know how important routine is—especially for pets who thrive on structure and familiarity. Whether your pet needs a special diet, meds, or just someone to hang out with, I’m all about providing low-stress, loving care that keeps them comfortable and cared for. I work 7:45-1:30 most days, so while I have an early start, I still have plenty of time throughout the day to spend with your pets and give them all the love and attention they need! I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and comfort. I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep things clean, quiet, and calm. For overnight stays, I also include light housekeeping so you return to a tidy home. Whether it’s feeding, medication, or just keeping your pet company, I focus on safety, trust, and providing low-stress, consistent care while you’re away.
About: My experience with animals goes beyond caring for my personal household pets for 13 years and my volunteering with shelters/rescues for 3 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I take the time to pay attention to those individual differences rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, social, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel secure and comfortable in your absence. Your pet’s safety, routine, and wellbeing are always my priority. I’m available Monday through Friday, as well as weekends, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. My schedule is flexible allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care and accommodate different pet routines and needs. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine and provide the specific care they’re booked for, while also paying attention to the little things that make them feel loved and at ease.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old—everything from 80+ lb Golden Retrievers and Bernese Mountain dogs to 5 lb Yorkies. I’m also studying to become a veterinarian, so I have extensive experience with animals and a deep understanding of their needs. What sets me apart is my lifelong passion, hands-on care, and commitment to making every dog feel safe, loved, and happy. As a college student home for summer, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give dogs the care, love, and attention they deserve in mornings and afternoons. I treat every home with respect, keeping pets safe in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely and create a calm, trusted environment.
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.
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 taken care of my Boston terrier for five years and taught him potty training. I’ve also walked neighbors dogs in my local neighborhood and truly enjoy giving each pet love, attention and care. I’m currently a part-time student with a flexible schedule, so I can care for your pup mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I’m available Monday through Sunday and will do my best to accommodate your needs. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of love, belly rubs, and walks. I always follow owner instructions carefully to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in every environment.

“Colette is our trusted caregiver for Lucca. Not only is she totally responsible and loving she is a frequent and fun communicator. We never worry when she has Lucca and Lucca never looks back when Colette takes the leash!”
“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.”
“Titus took great care of my dog while I was away! My dog can get scared easily, but Titus is very patient and great with pets! He is definitely an animal lover. Would book again 10/10”
“Robert is a fantastic sitter! We just booked him for the day this time to see how our dog Otto would react to being left at a stranger's house. He took to Robert right away and seemed to have a great time with him. And Robert's mid-day update, including several happy dog photos, was greatly appreciated. My husband and I won't hesitate to book him again.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience! Rebecca is reliable, caring, and treated our dog like their own. Communication was excellent, and I loved receiving updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pet was in such good hands. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again!”
“I am happy that I found Julia on Rover. We had a meet and greet before the actual drop off date. She provided updates, pictures and videos everyday during my trip. She also went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable due to her having anxiety around new people and places. I highly recommend Julia and I will be using her again in the near future :)”

About: Hi! I'm Charli, and I've been caring for animals in both a professional and personal capacity for several years. I've worked as a bather, groomer, daycare, and veterinary clinic professional for over 5 years, and have experience with all of the following animals: dogs (all sizes), cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, fish, pigs, lizards, birds, & more! I most enjoy house sitting, dog walking, and daytime care, and I am able to travel to the further parts of the Tallahassee metro area upon request. For overnight animal guest needs, I have a home in the Astoria Park area of Tallahassee with a big fenced back yard and 5 animals of my own (2 cats, 2 dogs, and 1 ferret). All of our animals are great with other pets and love to meet new friends. If needed, we can also set up a room your pet can have all to themselves. Pet care is my everyday priority! My fiancée works full time from home, allowing me to devote my time to giving our pets and others' pets the care and attention they need (and deserve). I take pet care very seriously and am very attuned to animals' body language. As a veterinary worker, I have been trained to handle any situation in a calm and collected manner. Additionally, I like to ensure proper nutrition, adequate play time and potty breaks, and down time/quiet time when pets are feeling overwhelmed.
About: I am a CPDT I’m trained in understanding dog body language and know what your dogs need I monitor your dogs all day. I train puppies and will accommodate to your training requests. I also teach agility classes and tricks classes. I have a really nice dog of my own that loves to do agility as well. You can talk to me about what tricks and agility you would like your dogs to know, if this is something that you would like. Your dogs will have a nice playmate as well but I also understand if they need to play by themselves. I am also able to administer meds if needed. Your pups are in great hands and will not be bored at all. I work from home and will have time to train and play with your dogs. I will also be able to bath your pups if wanted or needed but only for dogs that like being bathed I have a fenced in yard that is big and has a separate agility area to train in. They will have rest times and ac or heating depending on the weather. They will also have water at all times I also have a really friendly dog that is trained to do Service dog work and he is super friendly to all dogs and he is a big boy but friendly.
“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!”
