“Kayla took care of my puppy for 4 days. She was very attentive to the schedule I gave her and giving his medication at the times I asked. She gave me frequent updates and pictures so I never had to worry about what my dog was doing. A great dogsitter!”
“Thank you Bob for taking such good care of my dog! I was able to enjoy time away without worrying, knowing my dog was in good hands. Bob had stellar communication and would throw the ball and take Forrest for walks everyday. He also graciously extended the stay an extra day after we had travel complications. Will be booking again for future travel!”
“Madelyn is so sweet and her dog is super cute and friendly!! My pup was very well taken care of, and I got plenty of pics/updates throughout his stay! 10/10 recommend”
“Highly recommend! She was fabulous in every way. Gave updates on how our dog was doing, was flexible when we needed to extend our trip, and most of all loved on our dog. Her energy is calm and confident - a great fit for dog sitting. She truly gifted us with peace of mind while we were away. Will 100% use her again!”
“Judith was easy to work with. I loved how much attention she gave my 2 fur babies. When I picked them up they didn’t seem eager to go home which is a true sign they where treated well. I will definitely use her services again. I love the fact that she gives them plenty of potty breaks. Great person to work with and she keeps you inform on how your babies are doing by photos or video.”
“Jessica was an attentive and communicative host! I left my dog in her care and have no doubt she was treated as a family member. Jessica kept me updated about my dog's behaviors and eating habits while I was away and sent photos and updates regularly. She answered all my questions and happily gave me a tour of her home so I could see where my dog would be staying. I would be glad to have Jessica as a pet sitter again and will recommend her to others as well. Thanks for everything!”
“Reymun was fantastic. He was diligent about sending updates and had a pleasant and calm demeanor that took the stress out of a last-minute booking. I really appreciated that he was very understanding of Calliope's needs and wanted to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend his services.”
“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!”
“Our dog loves staying with Melanie! She loves exploring the property. It's a fun vacation for her, and we have appreciated Melanie's communication and care for our fur kid. We will be using Melanie again!”
“Ayana and family watched our two dogs for a weekend. Communication and timely responses along with photos. Our dogs seemed quite content with their stay. It worked out great for our family.”
“We have used Rover extensively all over the country. Amanda is one of the best, if not THE best! Amanda is reliable and a great communicater. She makes sure our counter surfer is safe in her home. Her dog, Milly, is a sweet dog and good companion for Charlie. The photos she sends every day show how happy Charlie is in her care. and he is very relaxed and happy when we pick him up.”
“Nilanie is an absolute gem! She's sweet, patient, and so good with our cats. From our very first meeting, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving our babies in her care. Highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”
“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.”
“Katie is absolutely wonderful. She responds pretty much immediately. Communicates very well with pictures, updates etc. She truly cares about your pet. Our fur baby was definitely pampered and cared for. I will definitely be using Katie again. I would give her way more than 5 stars. Thanks Katie.”
“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!”

About: I have never lived a day without at least one feline companion, and I am currently the proud parent of two cats! Because I live with them every day, I understand that cats aren't just low-maintenance dogs—they have unique personalities, boundaries, and communication styles. I know how to read feline body language and will always respect your cat’s space while ensuring they get the love, playtime, or quiet companionship they need.
“Taylor is truly outstanding! We've relied on her services several times, and we plan to keep doing so in the future. She is incredibly responsible and dependable, always keeping us informed about any changes or concerns. Highly recommend!”
“Haley did an amazing job looking after my elderly kitty while I was away for Thanksgiving. She was consistent and always made sure to send me pictures so I knew my kitty was doing okay. I would absolutely recommend Haley's services to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Kelly did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 kitties. She made sure they had what they needed and paid extra attention to our kitty with slight stomach issues. She went above and beyond making sure things at the house were in good care as well. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats and even horses since the age of 9. From drop ins, dog walking, overnights and even puppy classes I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have potty trained, crate trained, and taught basic commands to both puppy and adult dogs. I have cared for senior dogs and have experience giving meds and care for post surgery/medical procedure. From the time I was a child I have loved being trusted to care for neighbors and friends animals while they were away. No animal is off limits as I love them all! I look forward to meeting and working with you and yours! I am currently staying at home while my husband works so my schedule is very open. Every day of the week is a possibility for drop ins or overnight care. I live in a home with plenty of space to crate your baby if they stay the night, ensuring their safety and ours. I currently own a 75lb goldendoodle who loves playing with other dogs. My neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly and is lined on a paved circle perfect for walking dogs. I usually do an AM and PM walk to allow dogs to potty, along with intermittently taking them out throughout the day. Most play time happens inside where there is a much lower risk of escape or overheating.
“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 :)”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all personalities for over 7 years. Friends and neighbors trust me to feed, play, and give their cats plenty of love and attention. I’m experienced with shy or independent cats, patient with kittens, and always make sure litter boxes stay clean and cozy spaces feel safe.
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 have always loved cats. Got my first cat as a young child. Fast forward I’m now 23 with three cats. They’re my whole world. I take care of the strays around my job. Every cat is special to me! My fiancé and I give daily brushing to our cats. Clean the litter boxes once a day (we have two) deep clean them every two weeks. Have had to administer oral meds for two of our cats for digestive issues. Went through recovery for one spay. We’ve trained out a couple of bad behaviors (eating each others food, jumping on counters, and eating of the sink.) give constant positive reinforcement. Have daily play time. We love love love our cats, and any cat we meet.
“The cats were still here, healthy and happy. The house was in good shape. The mail was organized. She was very responsive to calls and sent cat pics. This was my first time with Emilie, but I will certainly try to get her again.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was in the fifth grade. In high school, I started working at a vet clinic, then a kennel, goat farm, and another clinic while in college. I then started working at a shelter after I graduated from undergrad. I can medicate whether oral, ocular, in the ears, or injection. I can also care for puppies as well as senior animals. Can’t wait to meet and care for your babies! I am usually at school all day during the week. Sometimes the days are different, and I could be done early or not even have to be there, but this is rare. Just shoot me a message and we’ll see if something can be worked out! I live in a small apartment with a balcony. There is plenty of space to walk a dog around the complex and nearby. I have 2 cats that your pet(s) would need to get along with.
“Megan did an amazing job! Our fur babies were well taken care of in the comfort of our home. She provided daily pics and updates, gave us so much peace of mind while on our trip. Highly recommend!”

“Kayla was a life saver when my sitter fell through last minute! She took great care of my boy and he had a wonderful time getting to know other dogs and was right at home. The communication was great to know he was in safe and loving hands! We cant wait to stay with Kayla again!”
“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!”
“I can’t even begin to describe how awesome Jessica has been! She kept me so at ease the entire time, from open communication to pictures. Jessica has been the absolute best ! I can definitely say look no further , you won’t regret it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Diana put all my worries to rest. She took amazing care of my senior dog! Paris came back super relaxed. Diana provided updates and I could tell she was taking good care of my Paris :) Would 100% recommend and will definitely contact her again.”
About: Hi, I am fairly new in the doggy business but in the beginning of my life, we had a family dog and that was my very first experience with pets. I have pet-sitted my neighbors dog starting 4 years ago and I decided to finally get a puppy of my own named Nugget and he is a chill, sweet yorkie poo that loves attention and keeps me on my toes. I absolutely love pets in general but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I am currently working part time during the weekdays and most weekends. However, I am flexible with hours so feel free to ask lots of questions and open means of communication about my accommodations to your pup. I live in an apartment with an open yard (no fence) with a playground/track to walk my dog and yours as well! We will have lots of walks and potty breaks during the day and there will always be someone in my household (spouse or myself) keeping close watch to your pups. Also, I have a sweet dog who loves to play and will keep your baby company at all times. I can also crate your puppy if you would like so there is no need to bring one of your own, unless you absolutely insist on doing so.
“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!”
About: I have experience in training and handling dogs from puppies to seniors. I have veterinary care experience which allows for low stress administration of medications or other treatments. My experience in behavioral management allows for all dogs to feel safe and comfortable. Plus I am a huge dog lover and want to have as much fun as possible! I work from home and will provide your pet with plenty of company! I also love hiking and exploring new places. Active dogs will join me on these adventures while other dogs will join me on the couch! I take plenty of pictures and provide numerous updates on your pet as well. I live in a quiet and safe community where pets are welcome. Pets will be taken outside every 2 hours and allowed to relieve themselves. Playing, exploring, and ample time and care will be provided!
“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: 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.
About: I love animals, and sit my friends pets often. I will be a great caretaker for your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your dog (or cat)! I know how hard it is to find someone reliable to take care of your pets when you're out town. I am able to visit your dog up to 2 times per day and I am home on the weekends. Please feel free to ask me any questions and I look forward to meeting ... As summer is almost upon us, I know many of you are planning vacations. If you need a house and or pet-sitter during your away time,please, write to me. I do not always use rover to conduct payments but am happy to use the site if you prefer. If you would like to contact one of my previous clients for a recommendation, please let me know and I will send you their contact information.
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.
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.
“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.”
“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’ve taking care of pets since I was a child, always love to meet new pets and get their personalities. I love walking dogs and playing with cats. I have a full fenced yard and live in one of the best neighborhoods in Tallahassee. I work a full time job but always willing and able to sit or care for pets, I do work from home in my hours I do both, at home and at your own home depends on preference and pets personality, which ever you’re more comfortable with and makes the pet happy
About: I’ve had and cared for all kinds of dogs since I was 13. We have 2 of our own and love them them all!! We have plenty of space, and love to spend time with dogs socializing and letting them play. I currently work from home and am able to give daily attention to my fur babies as well as any needing daily care! I am home every day. I have a fenced in backyard, spacious home and 2 friendly dogs of my own. I am able to play with, feed, care for and provide a peaceful space for your pups.
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 grew up around animals of all kinds — dogs, cats, cows, pigs, and more — so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have two spoiled pups of my own, Milly and RJ, and I treat every pet in my care like family. One thing that sets me apart is that I’m a teacher, so during school breaks and summers I’m home throughout the day and able to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. We also have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run and play. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, attentive, and communicative so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Since it’s summer break, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! We usually start the mornings slowly outside before it gets too warm, giving the dogs time to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air. After breakfast, we spend time relaxing inside where the pups can nap, play, or follow me around while I read or get things done around the house. In the evenings, we head back outside for more playtime, walks, fetch, or whatever activities your dog enjoys most. I’m home throughout the day, so potty breaks, attention, and supervision are never a problem — your pet will get plenty of love and care all day long! 🐾 I will care for your pet like they’re one of my own! 🐾 I know how important routines and comfort are for animals, so I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. Pets in my home will receive lots of attention, love, supervision, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and pets are welcome to relax inside with me just like family. Treats are always given with owner permission, and I’m happy to accommodate any specific instructions or preferences to help your pet feel comfortable and happy while you’re away.

About: About My Experience I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals, raising and caring for a wide variety of species. I don't just love pets—I understand their unique behaviors, diets, and routines. From energetic dogs to sensitive exotic animals, I treat every pet in my care with the same patience and love I give my own. Dogs & Cats: Lifetime experience with various breeds, tempers, and energy levels. Why Choose Me? Because of my diverse background, I am uniquely equipped to handle multi-pet households. If you have a dog and a tank full of fish, or a cat and a rabbit, you don't need to hire two different sitters. I am detail-oriented, highly reliable, and comfortable following strict feeding, medication, or habitat instructions to keep your pets safe, happy, and thriving while you are away! I am pretty flexible. I am a football coach at Colquitt County so I’m usually there from 8AM - 12PM but I’m free most of the rest of the day so I’m happy to pop in and check on your babies when you’re away for long hours. I have a fenced in yard at my home. I’m super careful with my pets and I always walk the dogs on leashes. I don’t let them roam and I’m respectful of other people and animals.
About: I am new to the business of dog walking and dog sitting, but I have been around dogs the majority of my life. Growing up my family had three dogs, and currently I have a seven year old rescue dog, named Arya, whom I had adopted in 2019. I have lived in Tallahassee for almost 8 years now, so I am very familiar with the area. Looking forward to this experience! While I used to be employed as a TA at FSU when I was a graduate student, I am currently unemployed and searching for research positions as a biologist. My days consist currently of job applications, so I hace a flexible schedule. My own dog is a mutt, mixed with pitbull and Rottweiler, so I know there is no such thing as "a bad breed." I will treat all dogs with the same love and care.

About: Although my profile is new to Rover, I am well versed in the experience for years.

I hope to leave every client better connected with their dogs.
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other large and small animals since I was 10. I have also worked in a vets office which has only increased my knowledge and care giving skills for all types of animals. Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me anytime any day of the week to care for their furry friends. I am currently working with Rover full time so I will have time to play with your pets any time of the day with no worries that they will get the care they deserve. although I live in a apartment, I am more happy to take her for a friend for a long enjoyable walk or hike so they get the enrichment they need. If staying at your home, I can be flexible with any care instructions given. I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible!
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was about 10 years old. Throughout the years I have cared for my neighbors and family friends pets along side my own pups. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I plan my days so that walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are done consistently and on schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and exercise so their pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine, provide walks and playtime, keep food and water fresh, and make sure the home stays tidy. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while their owners are gone.
About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats and even horses since the age of 9. From drop ins, dog walking, overnights and even puppy classes I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have potty trained, crate trained, and taught basic commands to both puppy and adult dogs. I have cared for senior dogs and have experience giving meds and care for post surgery/medical procedure. From the time I was a child I have loved being trusted to care for neighbors and friends animals while they were away. No animal is off limits as I love them all! I look forward to meeting and working with you and yours! I am currently staying at home while my husband works so my schedule is very open. Every day of the week is a possibility for drop ins or overnight care. I live in a home with plenty of space to crate your baby if they stay the night, ensuring their safety and ours. I currently own a 75lb goldendoodle who loves playing with other dogs. My neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly and is lined on a paved circle perfect for walking dogs. I usually do an AM and PM walk to allow dogs to potty, along with intermittently taking them out throughout the day. Most play time happens inside where there is a much lower risk of escape or overheating.
About: I 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 been taking care of dogs sense I was 10, I’ve gone to numerous dog training camps, I’ve worked at two vets and have taken care and own dogs and cats myself. I work part time and in school part time but I have a lot of flexibility with my day and always take priority over animals as I’m going to school to be a vet. I have a fenced in yard, and love going on walks with dogs, and making sure they have enough water afterwards, i love having a schedule when it comes to house sitting and making sure everything is accurate.
About: I’ve grown up on a farm since I was little. I also worked at a veterinary hospital for three years in our boarding facility and helping assist our medical team. I currently work part-time with an incredibly flexible schedule. I make my own hours so as long as you’re flexible and open with me, I’m more than happy to work with yours! I love to take my pet for daily walks as it gets me outside and exercised as well as her! I do not have a fenced in back yard, but live in a very safe neighborhood where i’m able to walk my pet whenever and wherever!
About: I worked at a humane society for 2.5 years, I worked at a dog groomers for a year and I worked at a vets office for 1 year before I joined the army. I’m in the army so I work from 9-4 Monday-Thursday and 9-2 on Fridays and can care for your babies before and after work on the days I work and my weekends are open fully. Unfortunately I can’t have other pets in my home due to my two cats not liking other animals but anything that needs to be done regarding your pets that I can do in your home I will do.

“Thank you Bob for taking such good care of my dog! I was able to enjoy time away without worrying, knowing my dog was in good hands. Bob had stellar communication and would throw the ball and take Forrest for walks everyday. He also graciously extended the stay an extra day after we had travel complications. Will be booking again for future travel!”
“Madelyn is so sweet and her dog is super cute and friendly!! My pup was very well taken care of, and I got plenty of pics/updates throughout his stay! 10/10 recommend”
“Jessica was an attentive and communicative host! I left my dog in her care and have no doubt she was treated as a family member. Jessica kept me updated about my dog's behaviors and eating habits while I was away and sent photos and updates regularly. She answered all my questions and happily gave me a tour of her home so I could see where my dog would be staying. I would be glad to have Jessica as a pet sitter again and will recommend her to others as well. Thanks for everything!”
“Reymun was fantastic. He was diligent about sending updates and had a pleasant and calm demeanor that took the stress out of a last-minute booking.

“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.”
“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!”
About: Hi, I’m DeAndre—a professional, dependable dog walker and sitter serving Tallahassee. I specialize in providing structured, attentive care for pet owners who value consistency, communication, and peace of mind. I maintain a full-time professional schedule (8–5), which allows me to focus on high-quality early morning, evening, and weekend care—ideal for busy professionals who need reliable support outside standard hours. I was a dedicated dog owner for many years. My dog Dutchess was with me from 2011 until she passed in October 2023. She was exceptionally patient, kind, and loving. While I’m not ready to own another dog just yet, caring for other pets genuinely fulfills that same sense of purpose and connection. I trained Dutchess from 6 months old, giving me a strong foundation in consistency, behavior awareness, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable reinforcing routines and helping dogs build good habits in a calm, structured environment. What’s my schedule like: • Professional, punctual, and highly reliable • Clear, consistent communication with photo updates • Calm, patient approach tailored to each dog’s personality • Focus on safety, structure, and trust Services: • Dog walking (morning & evening availability) • Drop-in visits (feeding, enrichment, check-ins) • Weekend and overnight sitting My goal is simple: to provide a safe, dependable experience for your pet—and complete peace of mind for you. I’d be glad to connect and care for your dog as if they were my own. I care for pets with a balance of structure, patience, and genuine attention. I make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable by sticking to their routine, following instructions closely, and paying attention to their individual personality and needs. I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and creating a calm environment so pets can relax and be themselves. I’m also very observant—I pay attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes that might need attention. Whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, giving them affection, or simply being present, I treat every pet with the same level of care and respect as if they were my own. My goal is always to make both the pet and the owner feel at ease.
“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.”
“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.”
“Byron was a great sitter over Thanksgiving break! He sent us photo updates and made sure to ask all the questions he needed to properly care for Vinnie. We’ll definitely use him again in the 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.
“Was our first time away from our dog and I must say I felt at ease leaving him in her care and while I was away. She kept me updated on how he was doing. If you book with Mrs. Angela your fur baby will be well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
