Team Tallahassee Lassie Pet Care
Our Team
Isabel Milbourn
Hey, I'm Isabel and I come to you all the way from beautiful Bar Harbor, Maine! I'm currently pursuing my PhD in music theory at Florida State University, so life is busy but I wouldn't have it any other way. At home I share my life with my adorable Pyrenees mix, who keeps me grounded through it all!
Sierra Richardson
Hi, I'm Sierra and I'm a New England girl — born and raised in Massachusetts! When I'm not caring for your fur babies, I work for FWC's Division of Marine Fisheries Management, because my love for animals goes way beyond the backyard. At home I'm a proud pet mom to two dogs, Marlin and Sunny!
Alesia Dawkins
Hey there, I'm Alesia and I'm a proud Tallahassee native! When I'm not working, you'll catch me curled up with a good book. I share my home with three dogs — Mollie, Shorty, and Babbles — so I know firsthand what it means to love your pets like family!
Kalecia Hall
Hi, I'm Kalecia and I'm a Tallahassee local! When I'm not working, I'm in school or volunteering at a rescue — because animals are just a way of life for me! I share my home with King, my dog, and Daemon, my cat. I love staying involved in our community!
Jen Gensits
Hey, I'm Jen! I originally called California home, but Tallahassee has truly become my hometown and I wouldn't trade it. When I'm not working, I'm gardening, practicing yoga, or pampering my two cats — Quercus, a distinguished House Panther, and his sister Thais, a beautiful Siamese. Life is good!
Amanda deSousa
Hey, I'm Amanda and I'm an Atlanta girl bringing that city energy to Tallahassee! When I'm not on the job, I'm traveling, working as a brand ambassador at events, or honestly — just sleeping and recharging! I'm the proud mom of one sweet dog named Forrest!
Dee Dee Moore
Hi, I'm Dee Dee and I'm a proud Tallahassee local! I'm retired and I spend a lot of my time fostering Great Danes — I usually have one or two fosters in my home at any given time, and I love to knit!
Angela Mageau
Hi, I'm Angela! I am originally from North Carolina and in my sixth year with Tallahassee Lassie! When I am not at work, I am usually teaching at my other job, I love teaching, the Littles! I currently have two Aussie's, and a couple of grand golden doodles!
Founding Members
Carla
Owner / Founder
Carla returned to the Tallahassee area in 2014 where she was working in social work. After some soul searching, she made the decision to use her social work skills in the pet world as well as continue with the human side, their owners. Carla has over 20 years experience caring for animals and has owned a pet most of her life. She is currently mom to a pug and cat. Carla is certified in pet CPR and First Aid by the Pet Health Academy and is a member of Pet Sitters International and National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. She takes this knowledge and receives Continuing Education Units, along with providing training to her team. She also utilizes Pet Pro Hero and Fetch Find in teaching her team. She's also Regional Director for Florida Pet Services Association, Founding VP of North Florida Association of Pet Services, and has multiple volunteer commitments in Tallahassee.
Belinda
Pet Specialist / Community Management Coordinator
Belinda is a registered nurse and a licensed funeral director by profession. She treats all animals like her "patients", exhibiting the same kindness, love, and concern. She joined the team from the beginning, assisting with administrative duties and pet sitting, along with helping Jon and Carla launch the "Active Retiree Program." Belinda loves dogs, but her favorite pets to care for are cats; a love she developed from an early age, living with a mother who had cats her entire life!
Jon
Pet Care Specialist / Schedule Watcher
Jon and Belinda spearheaded our active retiree program, giving retirees a chance to exercise, be engaged in the community, and have the joy that animal, unconditional love brings. Jon has years of experience with pets; we often refer to him as the "Dog Whisperer". Dogs who are shy and not so "people friendly" seem to love him!
Tallahassee Lassie was named the Best in Florida and Best of Next Door 2020, 2021, 2022!
We offer a Peace of Mind Guarantee! After our Meet & Greet, you'll be assigned a primary sitter, a secondary backup, and an emergency back-up. We are proud to be the only sitter service in Tallahassee to be nationally certified, as well as fully bonded and insured!
