“Merrick is fantastic and I will absolutely have him watch my dogs in the future. My dogs are usually anxious when I travel, but did great in Merrick's care. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for about 5 years now, including pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, from energetic pups to shy or older pets. I always focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and happy. My schedule is flexible, and I’m committed to being reliable and on time. I’m available for regular visits, pet sitting, or last-minute bookings when possible, and I always make sure your pet’s routine is followed closely. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by caring for them in their own home, where they feel most secure. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a clean and respectful environment, and make sure doors, gates, and routines are always handled with care. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Michelle is absolutely wonderful. I have two dogs and one of them is VERY shy with new people. Michelle has been very patient with him and it looks like he is coming around. Michelle also helped me out of a bind when I needed her at an unscheduled day.”
About: I've always been into nature, animals, insects and pets. My grandmother would always joke and say that I should be a Veterinarian when I grow up. Between playing with earth worms, petting any dog I see or spoiling my own pups, I love people and I love their animals and pets. For the past decade, having to care for other's pets never felt like a chore. It remains the foundation of my desire to join Rover. Even after being bitten by an unsuspecting, unpredictable pit bull, I will continue being a dog lover. I have been a pet caregiver since I was a teen. Now that I've discovered Rover, I can take this to the next level. I'm actually late to the Rover party! I currently have open availability as of August 2026. That could be changing to part-time availability soon. I will update my availability as needed. I am devoted to absolute safety and trust. I promise to treat you, your property and furry family members with the same love, attention and care that I would treat my own.
“Gage was great! He did a great job taking care of my pet. He was always on time, great at communicating with us while away and I know my dog had a great time and walks in the cold with him. He even came over when snowing!! Kudos Gage!!”
“Ariel was super helpful taking care of my kitty while o was away, even checking in to switch my heat on since it got cold while I was away! She paid lots of attention to my cat and did a great job keeping up with litter, food, water, and playtime”
“Brooke was responsible with my two babies and took good care of them. They are used to being in their home environment with a lot of love and I know they received that.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I prioritize making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while keeping owners updated and worry-free the entire time I currently work a full-time job from 8 to 5 but have the ability to come home for lunch and my job is very flexible. I care for pets in their home by keeping them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and of course lots of love. I also keep the home clean and respectful, provide regular updates/photos, and make sure each pet feels safe and cared for the entire time.
“Caroline is fantastic! Our shy (and sometimes sassy) kitty was well loved and cared for while we were away. She’s a great communicator and shared lots of pictures of our kitty!”
“Thank you Ashley for taking care of our Kitty, Eli why we were traveling. He loved your daily visits and play times! We enjoyed his pictures and care that you showed him. Eli looks forward to spending time again with you soon! Thanks”
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.
“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.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life!!! Cats, kittens, dogs, hamsters and a bird! At the moment I have 2 cats - brother and sister. I’ve always had a passion for animals and I’d rescue every single one out there if I could! Since I was about 10 years old, neighbors have asked me to care for their pets while away. Rest assured I will take great care of your babies just as my own! *I currently work full-time M-F. 8:30am - 5pm. *I am typically available to house-pet sit Friday and Saturday nights for stay over. *I will make special exceptions for weekdays if you live nearby the Germantown area. (I have my own pets to care for, so I need to try to keep the location close.) **Message me to discuss** *For drop-ins and dog walks I am available all evenings and weekends. As far as your home and pets, I will follow your instructions in your home precisely. I will feed and water them, clean up after them, clean litter box, clean up dog feces in yard, and any other needs required. My goal is to leave your home exactly how you left it. Your pets and your home will be in great hands!
“Leigh was awesome to work with. She provided great care for my babes and gave me updates along the way. She watered my plants and took my trash bins to street. She went over and above. Will def put her on my list to use again.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. I have experience with Senior as well young pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
Melissa did a wonderful job caring for my kitties while we were on vacation. Melissa is very very friendly and experienced at caring for cats. My cats are really shy, but they came out of hiding for Melissa. She cleaned their litter box every day, changed their water daily, fed them both wet and dry food and also gave them their treats. We knew at the Meet and Greet that Melissa was a great choice. We were not disappointed. I definitely will use her again and recommend booking her in advance if you want a great pet sitter. Thank you, Melissa. I appreciate the extra things you did while we were away!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
