About: Experience and Expertise: I have extensive experience in caring for pets of all kinds and sizes, and I am well-versed in their behaviors and needs. Personalized Care: I believe that each pet is unique and deserves personalized care. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, preferences, and needs, and I tailor my care accordingly. This ensures that your pet receives the attention and love they deserve while you're away. Communication: I believe that communication is key to providing top-quality pet care. I maintain open and clear communication with my clients, keeping them updated on their pet's activities, behavior, and health. This way, pet owners can have peace of mind and trust that their furry family member is in good hands. Flexibility: I understand that each pet owner has different needs and preferences. Therefore, I offer flexible services that can be customized to meet their individual requirements. Whether it's a last-minute booking or special requests for their pet's care, I am always willing to accommodate my clients' needs. Passion: I am truly passionate about animals and their well-being. For me, pet-sitting is not just a job, but a calling. I treat every pet under my care as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, and care they deserve. Pet care is my top priority: I have an open availability for pet care, which means that caring for your furry friend is my top priority. I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet's needs, whether it's for a quick drop-in visit or a long-term boarding. Safety first: The safety and well-being of the pets under my care is my top priority. I take extra precautions to ensure that pets are safe in my home or my client's home by removing any potential hazards, providing appropriate supervision, and maintaining a secure environment. Trust and transparency: I understand that leaving your pet in someone else's care can be a stressful experience. Therefore, I maintain open and transparent communication with my clients, providing regular updates on their pet's activities, behavior, and health. I also follow any special instructions or requests from the pet owner to ensure that their pet's care is consistent and reliable.
“Caroline was a great communicator and understood our worry about leaving our babies! She provided detailed summaries of each visit with great pictures. She even helped me when I needed a number that was written down at home! We would have her in our home again! Chose Caroline with confidence that she is among the best!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, I was raised on a farm, where caring for a wide variety of animals became second nature. That background gives me a strong sense of responsibility and an instinct for understanding each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, which means I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins starting at 4:30 PM during the week. I am completely free on weekdays. If you’re looking for more extended care, I also offer house sitting and can often work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends, allowing me to spend more consistent time with your pets. I aim to be flexible and communicative, so we can find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets’ needs! I tailor my care to each pet and service. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free, including feeding, walks, and plenty of attention. In my own home, I provide a safe, calm environment with close supervision and consistent care. I also have personal experience with shy pets, I adopted my cat Athena at 4 months old from the Memphis Animal Shelter. She was very skittish and required a lot of patience, understanding her needs, and respecting her space when she wanted to be left alone. She is now 8 years old and thriving, and that experience has taught me how to read behavior and adjust care to each animal’s comfort level. No matter the setting, my goal is to keep your pet happy, secure, and well cared for!
About: I currently dog sit two dogs named Ducky and George and have been for a couple months. Previously I have dog(pet) sat for multiple people going on 6 years. I have worked with dogs and animals of all types and sizes and am comfortable with any kind of animal. I I’ve worked with animals my whole life as well being raised on a farm. When I was younger I cared for our donkeys, horses, and helped with the cattle. For as long as I can remember I’ve always had dogs in the family. I currently have 2 Aussie Doodles Max and Molly. And my family often take in and care for older rescue dogs. I have a rescue horse named Journey, he is a big orange sweetheart. I have a varried schedule during the week due to college, but am available most of the time. If I need to make a quick stop I’ll be sure to let the dog out prior to leaving and return as soon as possible. They would be left alone at home no longer then 4 hours. I have a fenced in backyard and the dogs can feel free to use the furniture how they like. If you provide the crate I will lock them up if needed.
About: Hello! I’ve been taking care of my own animals since I was 10 and taking care of others’ animals for about seven years. I adore animals and have experience with older puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I’m comfortable giving or applying medication to both cats and dogs. My experience with other kinds of animals includes rodents, snakes, geckos, and bearded dragons. I work from home and have a flexible schedule which allows me to fit my full time job and pet or house sitting around each other seamlessly. I also take daily walks, so walking with a dog (or cat) isn’t any trouble at all. I will follow any specific instructions but generally I’ll feed cats and dogs twice a day, scoop litter once a day, walk a dog one to three times a day (depending on the dog’s needs), play with animals when they signal they want to, and spend time with them so they don’t get lonely. Medication is on a case by case basis.
“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’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!

About: I have been responsible for the well-being of pets since the age of 10. Numerous neighbors, friends, and family members have entrusted me with the tasks of walking, feeding, and tending to their beloved animals. Additionally, I have gained valuable experience working as a Veterinary Assistant where I provide care for both dogs and cats full time! I do work full time as a Veterinary Assistant, but I am more than willing to dedicate the time needed for your beloved furry friends, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need and deserve. I prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for pets, whether they are my own or clients'. This involves providing space, access to essentials, and regular exercise.

About: Dog rescue has been in my blood since birth and with the help of my mother and sister, we have rescued/fostered/adopted countless pups in the Memphis area since the mid 90's. Dogs mean the world to me and I am experienced and comfortable taking care of a bouncing healthy puppy, a large bully breed, or a senior dog in their golden years. I currently take care of my senior Shih-Poo 'Indy' (who requires weekly baths and many meds). I have also been watching my sisters two dogs overnight frequently as she travels for work and is out of town for extended periods of time. Thank you for reading and considering me to help with your fur babies! I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild and work as a Stunt Coordinator and Performer for film and television. As such, my schedule is often wide open and I have a lot of free time. Jobs for me come occasionally throughout the year and I will update any availability changes with clients as they occur. I am currently not offering in home care in my home, but I am trustworthy and treat others homes with respect and cleanliness. I will always strive to do what's needed to make your pups feel as comfortable as possible while I am with them.
“Nadia did a great job winning my babies over and making them feel comfortable. My puppy is weary of all strangers but she warmed up to Nadia swiftly and was wagging her tail and excited when she came to let them out the next day.”
“Titeara was AMAZING. She was like family to my babies. They were so comfortable with her, especially my shy one. She sent many updates and photos and even cleaned up behind them, without asking. She was great and made me being away care free. She was very respectful and treated my house as her own and my babies as her own as well. She is a blessing for sure.”
“I can’t thank Adel enough for taking care of Duke. The pictures of Duke during each visit gave me piece of mind so we could enjoy our trip. I highly recommend Adel and Julia!!!”
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.

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 .

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.

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.
