Our Core Values:
PETSIT
Precision, Ethics, Trustworthiness,
Service, Integrity, and Thoughtfulness
Using a professional pet sitter is not only beneficial for your pets, but also to you as a pet parent. Not all pet sitters are created equal, and it is important to find the right person for the job. We are proud to be the only sitter service in Tallahassee to be nationally and internationally certified, as well as fully bonded and insured with employees, not contractors. We do our best to match clients based on need. For instance, we have a cat specialist on hand, lead dog walker, a sitter who works specifically for farm care, etc. You'll be given a primary sitter, secondary backup, and emergency back-up. This is determined at the time of meet-and-greet, which is one on one time with the owner of Tallahassee Lassie. We meet your pets, customize your pets' needs, and schedule your pet sitting experience from there. Each visit comes with a pupdate directly to your phone/email through our portal and app.

What People Are Saying
“TL was incredibly thorough, responsive, and loving with my three cats. I was out of the country for nine days and never had to worry about my babies. I received regular updates and knew that they were in the best hands. I am a former sitter myself and very picky about who watches my animals, and I couldn't be happier with TL and their care of my pets. I also appreciate that Carla is involved with helping the homeless animals in the community. Overall excellent experience, 15/10, would recommend.”

“I am beyond happy with Tallahassee Lassie Pet Care. Before finding them, I tried other services and had horrible experiences that only left me anxious and worried about my dogs well being. I am super happy now and can honestly travel or work without a worry in the world. I know my pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. I wish I had known about them sooner! Please check them out, I can guarantee you'll be happy after the exceptional and excellent care your pups will get. I cannot recommend them enough.”

“I was in need of a Petsitter that could take care of my multiple animals with their varying requirements. Carla did an awesome job with my house cats, chickens, goats and livestock guardian dog! I never had to worry and came home to a happy, healthy bunch. I highly recommend her service!”
— Jessica Cary
“Tallahassee Lassie Pet Care was incredibly organized and thorough in getting to know our pets prior to even begging to care for them over the weekend. Their communication was exceptional and their app made it easy for us to stay up to date with what was happening at each visit. We loved receiving photo and written updates. They went above and beyond with retrieving our mail and packages and bringing them inside and out of the elements. One of our pups can be reserved with people but obviously is a great judge of character but allowed Helen to easily handle him and I believe that says a lot about her. Thank you Tallahassee Lassie for making our time away from home stress free because we knew our furry family was in good hands.”
