“Angela, was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. I have multiple dogs, one of which is a rescue and very cautious and shy around new people. Angela was patient and gave Beinget her space, never rushed or pushed her. I highly recommend Angela as your pet sitter.”

“Linda was amazing with our pups. She went above and beyond to take care of them while we were away! Will definitely book again. They loved her!!!”

About: I absolutely love animals of all kind! I have taken care of/ owned pets my entire life including dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, and fish! I have been dog-sitting for other families for about a year prior to Rover! I have strong passion for taking care of animals! I am a college student at U of M and I currently only work part-time! I have tons of open availability to be there for your pets! When taking care of pets, I make sure they are well fed, comfortable, and loved! My priority is to make sure your babies feel respected in their space!

About: I am an experienced veterinary technician with a passion for animals. I’ve never met a creature I didn’t like! ❤️ I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and breeds and am even doggy cpr certified. I always treat other people’s animals like my own, so you can rest assured that your fur babies are in good hands! My schedule is fairly flexible over weekends and holidays. I also offer home visits for special needs patients that may need medications or fluids administered. I always have pet owners take the lead. There is no such thing as “high maintenance” and am happy to oblige any pet parent requests Taking care of animals is part of my daily routine at home and at work and I enjoy every single minute of it. There is no such thing as a needy pet or pet parent. I treat all pets with patience and compassion. I understand that all pets are unique in how they communicate with us and am always willing to take the extra time to make sure they’re comfortable.

“Auntie Ty is the best! She was so attentive to all of our animals and cleaned up after our messy cats like a champ 💪🏻 She’s also a great communicator so you will always know your fur babies are safe, healthy, and happy! ❤️”

“Maddie did a wonderful job caring for our animals which included 2 rambunctious dogs, 2 cats and 5 free range chickens! She took the time to send us thoughtful updates and photos on all of the animals. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our crew was in good hands. We will definitely be contacting Maddie to watch the animals for our next vacation!”

About: I have had beloved pets of all kinds. Wonderful family dogs, cats, pigs, emus, goats, cows, horses, rabbits and a duck. I've spent my whole life seeking out strays or unwanted animals and giving them the love that they so freely give and deserve. I can handle any size or temperament...so far, lol. I am currently not working, so I have 100% availability to take care of your fur babies and keep them one hundred percent safe and happy! I have 50 acres that are not fenced and a 1/2 acre that is fenced and gated. I have a large home with an open living area, hardwood and tile. So no mistake is unfixable! my beloved mastiff passed away at the age of 13 last month, so I currently have no animals. Soon to change. God Bless! Use code “ALAYNB47183” to get $20 off your first booking with me on Rover! This is my only job, so I have 24/7 to devote to these sweet babies. Having grown up on this farm, I love working with animals sunrise to sunset They are allowed all over the house. On furniture and in the beds, if mommy and daddy approve. I keep each pup separate, just to be safe. Use code “ALAYNB47183” to get $20 off your first booking with me on Rover!

About: I am a biology major at the University of Memphis studying to one day become a veterinarian. I have had a love for animals for as long as I can remember, and I have personally owned three dogs and four cats. I have worked at my high school's veterinary clinic as well as volunteered at animal shelters and taken care of family friends' pets. I am currently a student at the University of Memphis, and my schedule varies from day to day, but I am mostly available during the afternoons or early mornings. If you reach out to me, I can provide exact details of when I am available, and we can work something out! I have reliable transportation to come to your home and check in on your animals, or I can also stay the night in your home if that works better for your pet's schedule.

About: With 7+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m confident handling everything from large, high-energy breeds to senior pets who need extra patience. I offer overnight care, stick closely to routines, and am comfortable administering medications. I believe pets thrive with consistency, attention, and a calm, confident presence — and that’s exactly what I provide. I have a flexible schedule and am available for weekday and weekend drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I prefer drop-ins and house sitting, but I can offer boarding for pets that are friendly and comfortable around other animals. I prioritize consistency and plan my day to ensure each pet receives proper attention, exercise, and routine care. I prioritize a safe and structured environment for every pet in my care. Because I have resident animals, I only offer boarding for pets that are friendly and comfortable around other animals. Introductions are done carefully and supervised at all times. Outdoor time is always monitored, and I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and home routines closely. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication with pet parents are extremely important to me.

Feedings, walks, playtime, medication administration, bathing, coat brushing, nail grinds & nail trims. Ask to see if I offer what your pet needs!

About: I’ve always grown up taking care of dogs and have loved being around animals for as long as I can remember. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet the same way I would my own. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away I’m flexible and will do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they can stay comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or bedtime routines, I’m happy to follow your instructions. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and house rules. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Julia took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were out of town for over a week. We arrived home to happy, calm, content pets and a beautifully clean house. We appreciated her thoughtful pictures and updates about how our girls were doing in her care. She also helped our nervous pups feel comfortable faster than any other petsitter (or visitor of any kind!) has in the past. Thank you again, Julia! You're the best.”

“Presley is amazing! Our kitty’s first time being left alone overnight, and he is a very social boy. Presley took such great care of him he forgave us immediately for leaving him. Not even sure he noticed we left! We will definitely be calling on Presley again whenever we leave town!”

I foster for MAS and rescue strays, and I’ve been house sitting for pets for 15 years.

I am available to do drop ins, walks, play dates, and more. I believe in keeping pets at home when their family is away. I find that animals are less stressed this way as opposed to being in a new environment alone. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter box cleaning, and lots of love and attention. If your pet needs medication, I’m experienced with oral, topical, and injectable treatments and always follow your exact instructions. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“We had Dana come stay at our house and babysit our cat, Bella, for 5 days while we took a work-cation. I really like Dana, and we will definitely request her again. Here are a few reason why: 1) Our AC broke a few days before we were to leave but that did not bother Dana, she took it all in stride (thankfully, we did end up getting it fixed before we left). 2) Bella is not an easy cat to feed. She's a picky eater and can be somewhat of a pain when it comes to finishing her food. Dana was willing to work with Bella's "bad eating habits," which can honestly be a pain in the butt! 3) Bella knows how to do tricks so Dana took pictures of her tricks and sent them to me. This made me feel good, and let me know Bella likes Dana (Bella is skeptical of strangers). 4) We have bird feeders, bird baths, and even a bee bath that she kept full. 5) She watered our outdoor potted flowers/plants and they looked great when we came home. 6) Dana got our mail. 7) Dana left the house neat and tidy.”

About: I have loved animals since I was a young child. I love caring for dogs and also the flexibility to travel, so I do not have a pup of my own. I started dog sitting in high school and college while on breaks from school and it brings me so much joy to care for everyone's pups. I work full-time in a physical therapy clinic, so I am typically able to run home during my lunch break if dogs are in need of a restroom break. I am always excited to spend time with animals in any way possible! Sometimes this looks like stopping at someone's house on the way home from work if they need walked, staying in their home, or their dog(s) staying with me. I do not have any pets of my own, so if your dog does not get along well with other dogs they will be comfortable in my home. I have a roommate who also loves dogs but does not have any pets. If your dog(s) love others, we can enjoy walks and dog parks and play dates with others! I am very careful when entering and residing in others homes, and try to make sure the environment is the same or cleaner than I left it.

“Akilah went above and beyond. She helped me out when another sitter cancelled last second. My dog and cat loved her as soon as they met her. She sent me photos and videos while I was away. She even took out the trash and washed the sheets in the room she was staying in!! Will definitely use her again.”

“Abby was great! She helped us out for weekend house/dog sitting in a pinch! She did great, sending updates and photos. Definitely recommend and will use again.”
