“Stephanie is a 10/10 very communicative, thorough, asks all the right questions and is an excellent care giver. I felt reassured that she was looking after my pitty baby. I think Sorra 🐾 found a new best friend! I look forward to using you again in the near future!”

“Tina is fantastic. She was totally reliable and so sweet to my pups! She walked them 3 times a week and was never late or unavailable! Thanks Tina-”

About: I have had dogs in my life as long as I can remember. And I love every dog that I see. And all deserve the best care. I have recently moved to the area, so I have all the time to watch pets that need to be taken care of. Walking or overnights I am able to come to your house and walk/love on them and or stay overnight. Which ever is best for you and your pets.

“Matilyn did a great job walking our dogs! She also let me that our female dog was showing signs of a UTI. Took her to the Vet the next day and sure enough, our dog did have a UTI! We would definitely rebook Matilyn!”

“Nathan is phenomenal with Billy!! He not only takes him for walks but he helps him learn tricks and shows Billy all the attention he so craves. He is a puppy so patience is necessary and Nathan definitely has that. Nathan is great with communication as well, always letting me know how Billy is doing and if he sees that maybe something is off with Billy health wise. I definitely trust him to take great care of my pup. :)”

About: I have house sat multiple times for the same families, which included care for both dogs and cats. One family had ill animals that needed special pills and diets, while the other had a puppy who needed walks to remain calm. I follow the instructions of the owners as best I can, and attempt to give the animals as much love and attention as I can offer. I was paid professionally to care for animals when I worked as a personal assistant for three years. I know that it can be hard work to care for animals, but I am willing to put forth the effort for them. I have had and cared for them all of my life, and I look forward to caring for yours! I work full time, but can be flexible with my lunch break. At the least, I could drop in three times a day or stay with them in the evenings. On weekends, if I am petsitting or dropping in, your pup or cat would be my highest priority and my schedule is much more flexible. Petsitting: When staying at a client's home, I keep the area tidy and try to spend more time with the pet than not. When I am not at work, I would be able to walk, play, and cuddle to their heart's content. If I have social plans, I adjust them to the pets needs so they are not left alone for too long. Dogwalking & Drop-Ins: After walking/playing with/checking on your pup, I would ensure they have adequate water and a treat, then give them some time to rest. Once I've ensured they've cooled down, I would let them out once more before topping off their water and leaving them for a nap. During the work weeks, walks would be at noon and after 5pm, but weekends are flexible.

“Monet is fantastic. My kiddos loved her from the moment she walked in the door. She is calm, patient and attentive and made sure they stayed on their routine. Will definitely have Monet watch my kiddos again.”

About: I grew up on a farm so as long as I can remember I was always loving and taking care of animals! Dogs, cats, horses! & all! I will love your fur babies just as much as mine! I am a stay at home dog mom!! Im such a big animal lover ever since I was a little girl that’s all I can remember is wanting to go outside and playing with the animals! I have two friendly pups that LOVE to play! I take my dogs on a walk two times a day! And make sure they get enough attention and playtime that they want! The pups will never be out of my sight! And I assure you they are safe and in a positive environment in my home! ☺️

About: My love of animals and their care has been lifelong. I work fulltime but am currently able to offer drop-in visits in the early Morning hiurd, after hours, and on the weekends, and can care for any plants and mail that might need attention while you are gone. Coverage only in West Boulevard Historical District. Note that my drop-in visits are usually an hour and ideally I will want to meet with you and your pets to review what you might need and want while you are away. This advance visit lets me meet your pet and help transition them to my temporary care while you are gone. However, if you need me for an emergency drop-in because you are stranded due to weather or another reason, I can try to help. I am comfortable with animals of all types including cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish. This includes caring for and treating senior animals and giving medications. Most shy and reclusive pets will come to me. In addition to giving clients a daily update and asking questions as they come up, my trademark is taking quality photos of their pets on a daily basis. In my profile, see examples of photos that I have taken. My schedule is able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I am also available on weekends. To the best of my ability, I will arrive and depart at the same times. I take all the time necessary to get to know a pet in their own home. This is especially important for cats and senior pets. My easy-going photo sessions help with that.

“Janet walked our dog, Maddie, for four days in a row. She was on time and was super nice to me and to Maddie! Maddie was excited to see her everyday and loved her walks. We will definitely have Janet walk Maddie again if we have a need in the future. Thank you Janet!!!!”

“Vanessa did a great job with walking and feeding my 2 dogs while I was gone . Always on time . My first time using Rover and I highly recommend her.”

About: Hello, my name is Sheldon and I grew up in The Black Hills, South Dakota, with my dog and best friend, Duke! We had the best of times adventuring through the ponderosa pines of the forests, scaling its mountains, hiking it’s trails, kayaking it’s waters, playing, swimming, EATING and just having fun as brothers do! Moving away.. far away to attended college, I haven’t seen Duke in over three years. I miss those times and would love to make new relationships with your pups! I understand that pets are much more than just animals, they are family and should be treated as such, with patience and love! I have experience walking, sitting and boarding dogs with some knowledge on training! Im very excited to meet your puppers! During the winter season I am available at all times. My primary work is seasonal and takes place in the summer as a fisherman in Alaska. When I care for pets at a clients home I treat the pet as if it were my own family and I treat the house as it were my own home. In other words, I practice respect.

About: I have lived in households with pets my entire life as well as taken care of countless peoples animals while they have been busy or out of town. I go to the dog park just about every day and am well versed in how animals interact with each other and how to make them as comfortable as possible. I am back in the Black Hills until September when school starts up again for me! I am very free and would love to watch some pets of all kinds. I have my own dog and I can have them hang out or she can stay at home just as easily!! I care for all pets in my home and in others the same way, with love and respect. It’s incredibly important for the animals you are dealing with to trust you and I work to ensure that trust at all times.

About: Experience. I am active and reliable! Looking to build client relationships and trust! New to Memphis, but not Tennessee. I am from Nashville, and just moved back to Tennessee after living in Laramie, Wyoming. I have a full time job and live a full life here. I hold a degree in Child and Family Studies with a minor in ASL from the University of Tennessee. I grew up with and around dogs all my life, specifically German Shepherds and Akita's. I do not know everything about dogs, but I want to know everything about your dog. Working with Rover is just a fun way to make new furry friends and get to know more people in Memphis. Being there for your pet while you're week got unexpectedly busy or you're away overnight provides relief for you and your furry family. Schedule. Currently working full time, but can be flexible for your pet. I can use my lunch break for walks and medications. I feel like this is something that is relative to each pets schedule and owners request. Safety and Trust. Your dog is family and will be treated as such. Unless I have specific directions or know that your pet is allowed to eat or do something not listed, it does not happen. We have fun while following the rules. Unless it is an EMERGENCY, your pet does not get in the car with me. I trust myself, I do not trust other drivers.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets in the past. As a fellow dog parent I am extremely picky on who I let watch my own animals so i promise to take good care of your fur babies! I’m a full time Paramedic so I’m only available Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. I am also available to do house check in’s for cats I unfortunately do not have much of a yard, but I do have a high energy GSD so we go on many walks and outdoor activities

“Very friendly and my dog approves!”

About: I’ve had a dog named jewels who is with my mom for 12 years, I raised her and trained as a young girl and wanted to be a veterinarian, I am now a senior in college for psychology. I work three days a week and am very flexible with my schedule. I can do nights and days as well as later nights and early mornings. I treat animals like there my own children, I have a huge heart and I hope to share this will other pets and animals in my community

“The walk was a good distance for my dog. Everything was put away as asked.”

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs of all different ages since I was very little. I believe walks should be enjoyable and safe. I adapt to each dog’s pace, offer patience for puppies, gentle care for seniors, and dependable communication for owners. Pet care fits really well into my weekends. I keep my schedule pretty flexible, so I’m able to focus on walks and give each dog my full attention without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep routines consistent, make sure pets are safe and comfortable, and always give them plenty of attention during visits and walks.
