“Kerry was absolutely wonderful! Not only did was she available last minute (as my sitter had to cancel), but my baby had an unforeseeable medical emergency while Kerry was with her. She was so good with my Ellie and worked with my parents in the middle of the night to make sure Ellie was taken care of. She also checked in a couple of days later to see how Ellie was doing. I would highly recommend Kerry to anyone and would love to have her take care of my baby again!”


“Thank you for taking such good care of Bodie over the weekend! Faith came over for 2 days and helped feed, walk and play with my little dog. It was nice to know he was with someone who cared.”


About: I just moved to Memphis to work in education and left my 2 dogs at home with my parents in Atlanta, so I am looking for some dogs to take care of. I have lifelong experience pet-sitting and dog walking for family and friends. As a teacher, I have a light schedule over the summer and want to spend some of my free time with animals. I do have some daytime commitments approaching in mid-July, but other than that, I look forward to getting outside with dogs whenever possible! When taking care of pets I pay attention to the owner’s desired routines and outcomes, while also considering the pet’s habits and personal needs. I have experience with young dogs, so I can support the owner in building healthy and positive habits for their pet.

“This was my 3rd booking with Jaymes. He is marvelous with my deaf fur baby. He takes wonderful care of Flash and my home. I got plenty of photos and updates while I was away.”


About: I have 6 years of pet sitting experience, and have petsat dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, pigs, and fish. What sets me apart is my experience with my 13 year old cat. She is diabetic and has a host of other senior Kitty problems. I administer insulin twice a day, glucose curves, and oral medication. I am comfortable doing all of this with your fur baby too. I am also known to give excellent pets and belly rubs! I am now in an online graduate program to become a physician assistant, so my schedule is flexible. I am available to house sit or make frequent visits to check on your fur babies. I would love to walk your pet around the neighborhood and take them to the dog park if that is their interest as well. I give all the pets I petsit lots of attention and cuddles each and every day!

“Haley was on time, asked important questions, and followed Sage’s routine. She also provided us updates throughout the stay, and was prompt to respond when we inquired about him. Thank you, Haley. I would definitely re-book.”



“Lori took great care of my dog, Magnus & my home when I was traveling. She shared updates regularly, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you, Lori!!”


“Takes good care of my dogs while I am away and often offers to stay late if I might be back later than expected. Sent me a picture every day, and let me know when she arrived and left.”


“Magnolia did a stay to take care of our cat & dog for just over a week. We came home to two happy and healthy furry children. This was our first time using a service rather than a recommendation for a sitter from a friend and Magnolia quickly put us at ease when she came over to meet everyone before the stay. She's very nice, responsive and I could see they & the house would be in capable hands. We'd definitely reach out to her again.”


“Elizabeth was great! This was our first time using her to house sit with our 2 pups and they loved her! She sent us fun photos and she was very responsive when we checked in while we were away. We'll be using her again soon and highly recommend her! Thank you for everything Elizabeth!”


“Cambree was absolutely amazing. She stayed at my house for a week to take care of my dog. She took great care of my dog, she kept me updated, and left my house spotless. My dog was so happy and healthy when I got home. I can tell he had a great week.”


About: I’ve been walking and sitting dogs and cats for over 10 years, and I truly love what I do. I have hands-on experience from working at the Dutchess County SPCA, where I cared for dogs with behavioral challenges for two years. That time taught me how to build trust with anxious or reactive pups using patience and positive reinforcement. At home, I care for my senior dog who has chronic health issues, so I’m very comfortable with medication and managing special needs. I know how important it is to treat each pet with the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior who needs a slower pace, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Safety, comfort, and routine are always my priorities. I’ll treat your pet like family—because to me, they are. I work a flexible, part-time schedule at the Memphis Zoo, which allows me to offer pet care often throughout week. I’m available all day on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. Wednesday through Saturday are variable, but I am available and communicative about my availability! My variable schedule gives me the ability to adapt to your pet’s needs—whether it’s a midday walk, morning check-in, or extended stay. I prioritize reliable, attentive care and will do my best to accommodate your preferred routine I walk and care for pets in their own homes. It is my top priority to ensure your home is safe during visits! I will make sure to get to know your pet and the best way to keep them happy and calm. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I’ll keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I’m a proud mama of a 14 year old Siamese mix cat and a 4 month old kitten and take good care of my friends golden doodle pups and my dads German shepherd every summer! I love taking good care of our furry friends and being active with them! I’m a professional ballerina by trade so running and playing with pets comes easily to me! I work 9-5 as a professional ballerina so during our season I’m only an available after 5pm and on weekends. From May - August I’m off season so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! My apartment has a dog park out front and I’ve got so taking care of pups has always been a breeze! I’ve got tons of space for a crate if needed!

About: I have experience caring for many dogs and cats, even including special needs animals! My previous cat had FIV, and my other cat has a cleft palate which makes it difficult for her to eat! I’m open to anything that I need to do to keep your animals safe and healthy!! I’m a student at UTHSC, so I have class in the mornings for a couple hours starting the last week of August, but I would always be free to go both before and after, as well as overnights! I am pretty flexible if I know in advance! I try and visit the animals I watch atleast 5 or more times a day, and do a walk or a trip to the dog park whenever the weather is nice! I also have a dog at my house, named Tulip, who loves to join in if your dog does well with others! The family I currently dogsit for knows how much I HATE leaving the dogs in the crate, as I’m constantly texting asking if I can leave them out🤣 I will do my best to minimize crate time if applicable!

“Moments after landing in New York, we received a message that the Rover we booked had a family emergency and had to leave. We were so distraught! After a frustrating call with Rover help, we contacted Kissie who responded within seconds, and went to housesit for us almost immediately. While we would normally never book someone without a meet and greet, Kissie understood the situation and truly came to the rescue. She was so responsive and responsible, and our dog had the best time with her! She even sent us personalized video messages and gorgeous photos that made our dog look like a model. So thank you Kissie, for saving our trip!”


“Did an excellent job with our two boys.”


About: I ‘m exceptionally careful and sensitive to your pup’s personality and temperament. I will Aid in any fun times that you don’t have time to give them. So when you’re home from work they are tired just like you and really for a cuddling sleep next to you! Anything else you need like special instructions or guidance, I will be happy to oblige. I love getting to know different puppies and dogs so that I can learn more about the different breeds. I fully plan to start my own business in about five years and it will be dedicated to dogs cats and other small caged animals. I truly believe that your pets are family and that they deserve the very best care. I will Provide that!
