“Katie is fabulous! We are so pleased that Katie was available and interested in watching our senior cat, Bentley. From our first meeting, we were confident that Katie would take excellent care of our anxious and temperamental cat. With an unexpected flight delay, Katie kindly offered to extend her visits. It’s so much nicer to be away knowing that your pet is in such capable hands. We’d definitely ask Katie to watch our cat again. Thank you, Katie, for your compassionate care of our cat!”
“Wonderful person to watch my cat! Followed all of my instructions and my cat, who is very shy, actually came out and started to interact with her by the end of the visit.”
About: I am a pet person! I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have cared for my own dogs and cats throughout my adult life. Animals have always been part of my family, and I truly love caring for fur babies of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, attention, cuddles, and lots of love. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m known in my community for taking care of friends’ pets when they’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. My home is very pet-friendly, I have a large, fenced in backyard, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my daily life. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I have a secure fenced-in backyard with plenty of green space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get exercise. Pets will receive lots of attention, supervision, affection, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet owner’s routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special preferences to help pets feel comfortable and secure. If needed, I can also crate pets according to the owner’s instructions and comfort level.
“As always, Kay did a great job. I think she is a cat whisperer because our cats, who are pretty shy around most people, just love her. She takes time to sit and just be still with the cats, and I think they appreciate that.”
“Samantha is a great pet sitter. She sent us detailed messages and pictures about the cats and how they were doing. She did everything as we asked for. Highly recommend her to be your pet sitter.”
About: I’m a pet lover and have owned and cared for animals from dogs to horses. I have owned dogs my whole life and have trained puppies up to taking care of seniors. I work outside the home afternoons but I am fully home on weekends. Your pets will get all the attention they need in my care. My home is very safe. I have a huge fenced yard and no other dogs on site. I am reliable, available and loving! My home is ready!
“Bailey is awesome! She came on very short notice to take care of Pancho. I really appreciate her great care for my babe. She does a great job.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and they have been a huge part of our family. I’ve have experience with a variety of dogs from small dogs like Jack Russell’s to Alaskan Malamutes. My husband and I have trained all of our pups and pride ourselves on having well trained dogs that can walk off leash without concern. I understand the special needs of senior dogs and their limitations. My own senior dog had anxiety issues which we had to navigate. Keen awareness of dogs emotional states and when to interact and when space is needed. I’m currently in-between careers so my time is flexible and I have the time to focus on your pup and their needs during the week and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood. I’ve crate- trained dogs, so I’m comfortable with that if your dog is used to that. I will abide by whatever rules you have in place whether that’s no pets on furniture, meal routines, or exercise needs. I am available for pets in Cordova, Germantown and Collierville.
About: Since I was about three years old, I have always had a dog in the home, and have dog sat for multiple different types of dogs over the years. I am a former Sales Associate at Hollywood Pet Feed, which I would consider additional experience and knowledge. I work from home on my computer, which gives me flexibility on walking dogs. I take virtual meetings so prefer to have wifi/cell service. I have a backyard for my 11yr old sweet dog to roam around when he wants. Sometimes get a mid-day cookie! Love to get dogs energy out or just relax and pet them and refill water.
“Rachel did a great job with our two cats. She was very kind and and willing to do whatever we asked. We could tell by the pictures she took that the cats were very happy and enjoyed her care and company. She even moved a heavy package into our apartment for us! I would highly recommend Rachel and we will try to hire her again In the future.”
About: I’ve pet sit for family, and friends since I was in early highschool - working with all sorts of animals! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, etc. I also previously have worked at a dog training facility with many different dog breeds/temperaments. I have two sweet kitties at home myself, and I love to help people out and make their day to day easier, which is why I’m on Rover! I currently am a teacher full time, but I have availability on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and full availability on weekends to help with your pet! I can do a drop in, feedings, walks, or playtime! I have experience with crating dogs, dog walking, delivering medicine, and more! I personally do not bring other pets to my home, but I can always walk your pet around your neighborhood, take them to the park, etc!
“Nicole and her family are beyond amazing! They were so warm and welcoming to my fur babies and my fur babies love them so much! I couldn’t be more happy with my experience. I will definitely use her again and would recommend her as well! It feels good when your babies love other people and are also loved back. Thank you Nicole you truly were a God send 💓”
About: I have 4 years of experience as a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County. I was trained to care for dogs of various behavioral habits and energy levels. I also have experience caring for the pets of family friends with dogs and cats ranging from seniors with medicinal needs to high energy puppies. I'm comfortable and have cared for dogs of any size. I'm a recent college graduate with plans to start graduate school in the fall so I am free any times of the week for this summer. When entering a client's home, I will take special care to respect their property as well as their animals. I will pay close attention to a dog's behavior in their environment and work to make them as comfortable as possible with a new person.
About: What sets me apart is my love for the animals. This is my first time working in this field but I have had some fur babies in the past so I thoroughly know how to love and take care of them. I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. Abailable 7 days a week. I accept last minute bookings. Please feel free to reach out anytime. I have a fenced yard with a pool if your babies love to play in the water. My house is my safe haven. I make sure that your fur babies are loved and cared for in a safe environment.
About: I’ve had dogs in my home for as long as I can remember. I have my own 1 year old mix who will be sure to keep your pup busy because she LOVES to play. I’m comfortable giving meds if needed also. I am nurse, so on my available days there will be no work schedule to work around during the week. I already take my girl for frequent walks so adding another will be easy! I live in a safe area in Germantown with large fenced backyard. My home is very pet friendly, but I can adjust based on what your pup is used to.
About: Hello pet parents! My name is Emily I was born and raised in Memphis looking for something to keep me busy! I have raised/ fostered more puppies and kittens then I can count. As well as pet sit for multiple families over the past 2 years through rover (references can be provided if needed!) I do have a beautiful 2 year old son that will be around your pet so please animals that are okay around littles ones as he loves a new guest in our home just as much as I do! I am available all week to board, sit, or check in on pups/kittys when ever I am needed and can clear my schedule for anytime. I allow the dogs in the house I love to be hands on and be able to give them all the cuddles and pets they deserve to help adjust to you being away, so they can be as comfortable as possible during this temporary adjustment.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Germantown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Germantown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Germantown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
