Great person to work with and she keeps you inform on how your babies are doing by photos or video.”

I have excellent references and will care for your pet just as I would my own. I work from home and am available seven days a week, 24 hours a day. I am flexible and will work by the schedule you need. I do reside in an apartment complex where pets are allowed. I have a two bedroom with plenty of room for your pet if they need to stay here. I would provide walks and exercise for your pet throughout the day.
About: I’ve had the cat in the photo lily since I was 10. She was apart of a litter that the mom was failing to thrive at taking care of them. So I was the one that bottle fed that whole litter and she’s the baby I kept and loved. My family also has had up to 6 all rescues cats at a time.

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.

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I love all animals, all shapes, sizes and colors. I have experience in every animal kingdom. I have a very safe and large fenced in oasis for your child to play in. I could talk your ear off about my own schedule and routine but that would be less time for walks! I work from home at my “real job”. I find a happy dog is a dog on a schedule. I prefer to have specific instructions on any schedules for special pets. Pets will not be left unattended for extended periods.
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.
About: I am 37 years old and have cared for pets over the years but done Rover/Professional dog sitting for roughly 5 and a half years now. I worked as a traveling salesman for a few years so I unfortunately wasn’t able to have a pet(it would’ve been more difficult) but I stayed at many airbnbs that had cats/dogs and I have many friends who have let me keep their pets for them over the years. I had a pet snake for about 7 years(Rosey Boa). I can care for any and all animals including fish and reptiles. I'm not afraid of Tarantulas and birds are ok too. I only work part-time so I am pretty available to help your pet. I am happy to take dogs on walks, dog park visits, and I am an avid hiker so if you think your dog would enjoy a nature walk I can bring plenty of water and show them the great outdoors. I do not have a fully fenced in yard. I live in an apartment complex but I live on an end unit and currently I do not have roommates so I am happy to have pets to keep me company. Theres plenty of places to walk the dogs around my complex and as long as they’ll get along and are housebroken I am able to host multiple pets. Cats are ok too. I love exotics like reptiles and tarantulas as well. Ferrets and other furry friends are also ok. I can do house sitting and I am open to long term stays in other people's homes. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs and I can accommodate that. I have experience with elderly dogs. I can easily take your dog for walks or to the dog park if that's allowed. I do keep multiple dogs sometimes but if your dog isn't friendly with other dogs I can easily make arrangements especially if it's multiple dogs. I like to take the dogs on frequent walks and sometimes I watch movies/TV with pets in the evening. Do go ahead and send me a request! What are you waiting for? I promise the only thing I will fail to do is disappoint you! I'm working part-time so I generally am available to keep your dog/pet company however if you have the kind of pet that can't go more than 3 hours or so being alone I cannot do that. Occasionally I have to leave the house and do errands. I have everything needed at my house for dogs. You would just have to bring food, leash/harness and treats. I have crates, bowls, toys and everything else needed. I don't have a fenced in yard but there are many areas where the dog can walk and play around here. I don't have any other dogs of my own currently.
About: I have many years experience caretaking of animals big and small. To date, I have never met anyone who loves animals as much as I do. It would be a dream come true to take care of, play and snuggle your furbaby. I currently have an open schedule. I am a licensed healthcare professional for humans and will administer medication and take care of medical needs for your pet. I have a 2 story home with a fenced backyard. My pup roams freely with a doggie door to go outside in the yard. He loves everything and everyone. I am available to take care of animals in my home or yours and will abide by your specific instructions and needs. I provide dog walks, drop ins and am open to ideas outside of the box. Pictures will be provided during the stay.
About: I’ve taken care of different pets since I was 7 years old. I have experience taking care of house pets, farm animals, and exotic pets. I recently completed my Masters of Public Health and working full time. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I own a dog myself, so I am always willing to make time to take care of somebody’s else pet as if it was my own. I enjoy building a connection with the pet first. I want the pet to know that I am not a threat to them and that they can rely on me to support and take care of them. I am detail oriented, which allows me to provide the pet assurance of being in good hands.
“Communication was great. At drop-off I truly felt my pup was in great hands. Sent pictures throughout the day to let me know how everything was going. Definitely will be a returning client.”
About: I have kennel experience and Dog Handling experience due to me working at 2 dog grooming / boarding facilities. I have 3 years of experience with dog care. They are my passion.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and backgrounds through my work with a dog rescue. I’ve cared for puppies who need basic training, senior dogs requiring extra patience and attention, and rescues with unique behavioral needs. This has given me the skills to handle a variety of situations with compassion and confidence, ensuring every pet feels safe and loved in my care. I also have had dogs my whole life, and I currently have 4 very spoiled dogs, 2 of which are foster fails 🫶🏼 My schedule is flexible & I’m always happy to work with you to discuss the time and care your pet needs! I work early morning hours, and my shifts are typically around 4 hours. Outside of that, I pet sit full time! Whenever I’m not busy with my part time job or pet sitting for my clients, I spend my time volunteering at a local rescue. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free, home like environment for every dog in my care. Before each stay, I like to learn your pup’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible. For the safety of all dogs, boarding guests are kept separate from my personal dogs. Your dog will receive plenty of one-on-one attention, potty breaks, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. I treat every guest like family and strive to make their time away from home as enjoyable as possible. I can also administer medications if applicable.
“Aylee was absolutely wonderful with Peaches! She accommodated us on very short notice, which we really appreciated, and she was incredibly communicative and friendly throughout the entire stay. We felt confident right away that Peaches was in great hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. We would recommend Aylee to anyone and are already looking forward to bringing Peaches back in the future!”
About: I 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)!

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.
About: I’m a college student who misses her dogs from home (two Havanese Ollie and and Frankie) I would love to foster in the future and I do well with all dogs! I am currently a student with a very lenient schedule, dog walking for me is a source of stress relief. I look forward to the exercise! I live a short walk from a large dog park. My roommates and I keep our apartment very tidy and enjoy taking walks together. We recently found a lost dog and was able to take amazing care of her before finding her owner.
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: 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 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: I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just extra cuddles, your dog is always in good hands with me. Since I’m not currently working a full-time job, I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. I’m able to be fully present and make sure each pet gets plenty of care, playtime, and companionship. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, pet-friendly, and supervised at all times. In a client’s home, I respect their space while giving their pet the same level of care, attention, and affection they’re used to. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, happy, and right at home.
“Kerri demonstrates a very positive relationship with my dog, Always greeting him and renewing the familiarity before they walk and then she still stays to l"love on him " a bit after the walk. I can see his comfort with her.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets. My parents also used to be breeders. I’ve watched pets. I have a bunch of pets. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve been around pets. I’ve changed pets specifically I’ve had between one dog to six at a time. I’m very used to cats and dogs. Pet care I do it every single day when I get home from school like washing our dogs weekly, feeding them and doing just things on a weekly monthly or daily scheduled based on each of our pets needs and what animal it is. Like if it is our cats, dogs, or our turtle I treat all animals with care as if they’re like children. I think it’s very important to treat animals with care or like they’re another human because they cannot communicate and I believe showing trust in an animal is extremely important. I will always have treats on me just in case All of the pets in my home experience constant love and they’re always around people and very social.
About: I grew up with a Rottweiler named diamond. She got old and had arthritis so she needed medication at a certain time. Her walks had to be timed and within mobility. I am a full-time student my classes usually end early to mid afternoon, so my time is a little bit more flexible typically I have an hour to two hours in between certain classes. Since growing up with animals, I’m always on high alert whenever I hear like a rustle of a bag or weird noise coming from pets I’m on my feet and checking out what they’re doing and what they’re getting into for their safety. I also try to keep things that are hazardous for animals out of their reach or put up in my home. I have child box on cabinets in my kitchen and my medicine cabinet .
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.

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.

About: I am 26 years old. I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs since I was a little kid from having a pet to watching neighbors dogs to watching friends dogs. I am a dog lover and I can’t wait to help! Use this code for a discount! https://www.rover.com/sit/gretaf76730 I work as an elementary school teacher and I love teaching students and helping them grow! I love helping out families that need assistance with their pets. I am available in the evenings Monday-Friday and all day Saturday-Sunday. Safety, comfort, and keeping your pet's normal routine intact are my top priorities when caring for animals. When walking or taking care of pets, I always am sure to follow the owner’s instructions first, and make sure the pets’ needs and wants are met.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for years, and caring for them is something I have extensive hands-on experience with. My family and I currently have five dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, so I’m very comfortable adapting to the individual needs of each dog. Two of our dogs are rescues that I personally adopted through a North Florida dog rescue that I have been helping run for the past three years. My rescue experience has given me the opportunity to work with hundreds of dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. I have experience handling everything from puppies and high-energy dogs to large, strong dogs, shy or fearful dogs, and dogs who may need a little extra patience while adjusting to a new environment. Through rescue, I have helped with fostering, daily care, feeding, walking, medication and preventatives, adoption events, transporting dogs, coordinating foster homes, and helping dogs transition from shelters or difficult situations into safe and loving homes. Working in rescue has also taught me how important it is to pay close attention to a dog’s body language, routine, personality, and comfort level. I understand that every dog is different, and I always approach new dogs with patience and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m also very accustomed to following specific feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, medication instructions, and any other directions an owner provides. In addition to my rescue experience, I previously provided pet care through Rover throughout the summer of 2023. I loved the experience, but took a break when I returned to college in North Florida. Now that I have graduated and am back in Miami permanently, I’m excited to begin offering pet care again! Above all, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. As a lifelong dog owner, rescue volunteer, and dog mom myself, I treat every dog I care for with the same attention, patience, safety, and love that I would want someone to give my own. Whether your dog is 10 pounds or 100 pounds, outgoing or shy, a couch potato or full of energy, I’m confident and comfortable making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾♥️ I currently work 9-5 during the week, and am available in the evenings or weekends to help care for your pets! Let me know if this is what you are looking for! I live in miami lakes in a home with a huge yard for your dog to roam around in! I also own a few other dogs for them to play with.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals. I’ve always had at least four dogs in my home, so caring for pets has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I have personally trained my dogs from basic potty training to commands such as sit, stay, stop, and roll over. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, extra attention, or reinforcement of training, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I can also provide overnight care if needed to help keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. In addition to my extensive experience with dogs, I have been cat sitting for the past three years. I am experienced with feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure cats receive the attention, affection, and care they need while their owners are away. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I make time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care and can provide updates to owners for peace of mind. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra companionship, I am committed to making sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision, while also keeping their living area clean and tidy. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by treating them with the same care and respect I would give my own animals.
