Florida does not require a state pet-sitter or dog-walker license. Both the City of Tallahassee and Leon County enforce leash rules, so dogs must stay under the owner's direct control in public and off-leash only in designated dog parks like Tom Brown Park. A City of Tallahassee business license is the standard requirement for operating, and pet-care income is self-employment income reported on Schedule C against the platform's 1099.
