“I can’t say enough great things about Kayla! She took amazing care of my 6.5-week-old Belgian Malinois puppy, going above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well cared for. She provided regular updates with pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treated my girl like her own. I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I'm a country girl. I love all animals. I was raised on a farm. Animal caretaking is my specialty. I also attended school for assistant laboratory animal technology I'm currently working from home. I spend my time caring for my own pets. I also pet sit for friends and family members when they are out of town. I have a fenced backyard. I also have a fence inside of that fence. Which will separate bigger dogs from the smaller ones. I have a closed in patio for puppies or pets that just want to be left alone.
“Maggie is great !!! I felt very comfortable at the meet and greet. Zoey loved her first day with Maggie and is going back !! I highly recommend Maggie !!!! Huge yard and very dig friendly atmosphere !!! She even cleaned her after getting all muddy !!!!!! 💛”
“Myra was great with Max! When I got there to pick him up he was chilling on the couch with a soft blanket over him and didn't want to get up! Thanks again, and have fun on your road trip Myra!”
“Myla and Jordan were above and beyond in their care for our energetic dog. Their yard is fantastic for play and their dogs were the sweetest playmates for Rennie. We would not hesitate to use them again and we enthusiastically recommend them as pet sitters. As a bonus, Myla took professional level photos that captured our dog’s personality. We are grateful for their kindness.”
About: Hello! My name is Vivian. What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals of all kinds. I grew up an animal lover surrounded by dogs and large farm animals teaching me proper pet responsibility, patience, and deep compassion. I have hands on experience vaccinating large farm animals, administering medications, and providing attentive care to puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I am confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I always adapt my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether this is crate training a new puppy, supporting an older pet with mobility issues, or simply giving extra cuddles and playtime, I treat every pet like family and my own! Your pet’s health, happiness, and safety are always my top priorities! <3 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I work from home 3–4 days a week. This flexible schedule allows me to be available for pets throughout the day, whether it's providing company and care at home or doing check-ins and walks in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I enjoy building pet care into my day, it keeps me active and brings a lot of joy and purpose to my routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized attention. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, toys, and cozy resting areas. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime, to help them feel secure and at ease. I also have a sweet small dog named Harley, a rescue pup from Mexico, who absolutely loves all dogs and people. He’s gentle, playful, and always happy to make new His his presence often helps visiting pets feel more relaxed and welcome. When caring for pets in a client’s home - whether it’s dog walking, check-ins, or visits, I follow all instructions carefully, give pets the love and attention they need, and keep the space tidy and respected. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s daycare, boarding, or a quick visit, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life—cats were actually my first love, and I’m still a total sucker for them! While I don’t currently have a cat of my own, I’m very happy to provide drop-in care for your feline family members. At home, I have two friendly Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, who enjoy having canine companions around. I work from home, so dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and companionship throughout the day. We also have a large fenced yard where they have plenty of room to safely get outside and play. I know every pet has their own personality and routine—from the social butterfly who wants constant attention to the shy one who needs time and patience to feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care for them like I would want someone to care for mine. And because I know how hard it can be to leave them, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m home throughout the day with my own two dogs, Aspen and Indy. This gives me plenty of flexibility for meals, potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of companionship. Pets staying with me won’t routinely be left alone for long stretches, and we also have a large fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. I’m also available for drop-in visits depending on the location and requested time. I finish my workday in the early afternoon, so my afternoons and evenings are generally very flexible for drop-ins. Morning or daytime visits may also be possible depending on timing and distance—just send me a request and we can see if it works! In my home, I try to keep your pet’s routine as close to what they’re used to as possible. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, meals, playtime, attention and plenty of cuddles. We have a large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and my two Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, are friendly and enjoy having canine companions. I can accommodate different comfort levels and personalities. If your dog enjoys being social, they can join Aspen and Indy for playtime and relaxation. If your pet is more comfortable having their own space or needs to be kept separate from other animals, I can accommodate that as well. My goal is for each pet to feel safe and comfortable rather than expecting every animal to interact. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements and any special routines or needs. I know being away from home can be stressful, so I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable and treated like part of the family while they’re here. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine in their own home, including feeding and fresh water, potty breaks or litter box care, medications if needed, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to simply provide companionship for pets who are shy or prefer interaction on their own terms. I’ll provide photos and updates during stays or visits so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and many different animals since I was a child! I had many pets ranging from birds, frogs, iguanas, hermit crabs, ferrets, cats, and dogs. I have always been an animal lover! I unfortunately do not get to have a pet of my own due to my husband being in the Air Force. Which means we move around a lot. This has been really hard for me considering the fact that my whole life I’ve been acclimated to caring for and loving pets. Being able to care for your pet while we are stationed here in the Memphis area would fulfill my dreams of being able to take care of animals. I’m currently a stay at home mom and disabled veteran. As long as my kids are at school (7 AM-2 PM) I am 100% available! Outside of those hours I could pet sit for you at my home! I can accommodate depending on your preferences for your fur baby and depending if they are potty trained. I have a 2800 sq ft home. And a huge back yard for your fur baby to play in.
About: I've grown up my whole life around animals. I got the dog I have now 12 years ago. I've rescued dogs out of the middle of the rain in the night and found them homes. I love animals. My house has plenty of space as I live alone with my 12 yr old boy, Jacksson, and work full time from home as well. So I'm always available! He's a Shepherd Collie and is the sweetest, most gentle dog you'll ever meet. Let your dog relax here while you head out to where ever you need to go! Check out my instagram for all my highlights with my boy Jax! - mbwade99 I have nearly a 2,000 sq ft house. So your pet will have plenty of space to stretch out and relax.

I'm generally available any day of the week as long as I don't have anything else going. I have a fenced in back yard. I work from home, so I'm always home to keep an eye on them. Jacksson is very sweet and never bothered by other animals. He'll love to run and play with them as well when we toss the frisbee or the ball in the yard. I love animals and I want to make sure they know how much they're loved as well. I give you my word, your pet is safe and trusted with me while you're gone.

“Toby seemed comfortable in Maceson’s home and his dog Apollo is very friendly. Maceson was quick to respond, and his communication was very polite. He shared some pictures of Toby’s day care stay , which I appreciated.”
“Madeline is a sweet lady and took care of our little Yorkshire terrier well. She sent me pictures and updated me about our dog. We will use her again if we are in this area. Thanks Madeline.”
About: I’ve taken care of both doggos and cats since I was 13. My family used to rescue dogs and rehome them, so I have experience with a wide range of breeds from Great Danes to Yorkies to all kinds of kitties as well as a range of ages from newborns to seniors. I can bottle feed and administer medicine if needed. I just love being around animals, so I can assure you that your babies will receive the best treatment imaginable with me. All the love you would normally give them will be felt with my care :) I work from home full time and have the flexibility to step away from my computer whenever I need to. This means I am able to provide constant supervision and care to your fur babies. I care for at most one doggo or cat at a time so I can ensure your fur baby is safe and being cared for properly. I have lots of fenced land to play and walk them while they are here. For non-boarding services, you can trust that I will care for your babies as if they were receiving the care directly from you. I am willing to travel to your home to check on your babies, play with them, and take care of their needs.
“Our dog had a great time at Dalton’s. He has a nice backyard. Glad my dog also got to meet a cat. We may use him again so that she can really learn about cats.”
“Amber is so very sweet to my dog (Honey), I thought I would have to call off work because I couldn't find anyone to watch my sweet girl. Amber truly is a lifesaver thank you so much 😊”

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Handy Corner is $30 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $37 per day.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Handy Corner commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 192 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MS. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MS ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
