“McKenzie was fantastic! She took great care of my pets, kept me updated, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Brittnye was literally amazing. We had a super unique (and crazy) situation in which little things around the house of the dogs needed to be rearranged or picked up due to house showings. She didn’t hesitate to help with any request I had! Brittnye is the first sitter we’ve found that can actually come super early in the morning which is great for our dogs as they wake up at the crack of dawn! She also is SUPER responsive and I also appreciated the notes she included for each visit. If we were staying in this area longer, she would be our top choice for any sitting needs as she truly was amazing!! The dogs loved her and seemed very happy!”
“Bridgett took really good care of my doggy baby Maxx she was very consistent and updated me every visit with pictures and notes of the day her and my dog had which he seemed to be sooo happy and content!! I hope to use her again in the near future🌟”
“This is our 3rd time having Kelly sit for our pups and she is always wonderful. She takes great care of my pups and my house and I never have any worries while I am away.”
About: Growing up, I have always had pets. We have had both dogs and cats that I had to care for since a young age. As I’ve gotten older, I have been watching friends’ pets when they go out of town. In 2019, I made a Facebook post about my dog sitting that caught many people’s attention. I had many responses that led to lots of pet sitting that summer. Every summer since 2019, my schedule has been completely booked up with pet sitting in my area. I have experience with small dogs, big dogs, puppies, older dogs, and cats. I have experience giving both oral and injectable medications. I have spent time volunteering at the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County, Southern Pines Animal Shelter, and the West Memphis Animal Shelter. I am very comfortable being around both dogs and cats, understanding their body language, and caring for them. I am a social work graduate student in the North MS area. I have an internship 3 days a week and class 2 nights per week. My best availability is Friday-Monday, because I don’t have class or internship on those days. I am unable to bring pets into my home because I have 2 roommates with 4 cats. However, I would love to care for your animals in your home! If your home is accommodating to your pets, then it should be no problem. I also have a car that I can put dogs in to take them to a dog park or to a walking trail.
About: Hello pet parents! I’m a huge animal advocate and would love to care for your fur babies like family while you are away! I do require meet and greets and send daily or every other day updates depending on your preference! •I’ve been pet grooming going on 2 years. I have experience both sitting and grooming dogs, cats and rabbits. •I have over a year experience as a kennel technician. •I have been pet sitting going on 10 years. •I am familiar and comfortable with senior or special pets that may require special care or oral treatment. •I will also bring in any mail, water any plants, and pull trash cans for trash day as well. •Pet CPR certified by Animal Behavioral College. I currently work part time as a groomer and make my own schedule with private clients. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and ensure proper time is available and spent with your fur babies. I drop in a minimum of 3 times daily, and encourage each time at least an hour spent at minimum with your loved ones. I am pet cpr certified and have had 10+ years experience with domestic and exotic pets. I am a fur mom to a Cane Corso mix (rescue), Siberian Husky, Akita mix (adopted from MAS), and a three legged mutt mix recently adopted, rescued, pulled, and vetted for leg amputation. (He’s 1 year revived now and the happiest boy!) I also own a ferret, a bearded dragon, and a gecko. All 3 are the sweetest little souls.
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’m a kind hearted soul, always looking for ways to keep a pup happy. I pay attention to detail and I’m very familiar with taking care of dogs, especially ones that like to have fun. Back home, I have a 5 year old golden doodle that I’ve had since a puppy. I worked with her to potty train, and with basic training as well. I’m currently at home most of the day. I have full availability right now, and flexible availability during the weekends. Please reach out. Thank you! I am one of the sole caretakers of my dog at home. I take her out for potty breakers, feed her, and play with her.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since i was a kid. At about 10 years old and I knew I wanted to do that for a living. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups or kitty’s. I have an open and flexible schedule. I only care for pets by what's best for the animal in any home. Pets in my home or my clients shall be taking care of with love and respect as if they were my own.
“Samantha met my wife and I before her first visit with our cat. She was friendly, knowledgeable and put us at ease immediately. She visited with our cat Marbles for 4 days and she kept us informed prior, during and after each visit. She took pictures, played with him, made sure he had food and water and made sure his litterbox was cleaned. I couldnt ask for better. I will be contacting her everytime we need a sitter. I highly recommend her to care for your pets.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I have a dog who turns 8 this year, which I take full responsibility, that includes: vet visits, grooming, and activities. I also have trained her to do cool tricks! I've taken care of my sister's 2 dogs as well while she was on vacation. I have a lot of experience with small animals too! I have the whole summer off from college, and I am recovering from my illness, so I believe that taking care of a pet will fit into my schedule without interrupting doctor visits. It also is not as straining as a retail job. I will make sure to check for areas that could cause harm to an animal and provide a solution to the problem to ensure safety. I am also schedule sensitive, so I make sure that animals get fed on time.
About: I have never had an animal not love me at first sight. I have had 3 dogs and raised 4 cats so I am very familiar with animals I am currently in college so my schedule allows for me to stay the night with your pets or just come and check on them any time necessary. At least 2-3 times a day. More if needed I keep my animals safe, secure, and well fed. I will treat your pet like my own and give them lots of love and treats if so permitted.
“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'm an early bird so morning walks are always in; Sir Connor (Rest In Dog Paradise ) he was a shih tzu mixed. He was not neutered, because I wanted grand fur babies at the time. I have fostered over a dozen dogs and a handful of cats. Daisy May was an extra addition to the family while I was fostering a puppy I called Maxwell; Maxwell has been adopted by a caring couple! Daisy May is currently the only dog I have so far. Sitting Schedule: Breakfast is at 10:30. I'm reading on how to train dogs and so treats would be ideal for play time! Dinner is severed at 7:30 I feed twice a day. If I have your dog on the weekend, they get to go on a field trip to Overton Park or Mud Island Dog Park. They also get enrichment time with pet toys and snacks! I also groom on the weekend. I mostly had dogs as pets; I rescued a cat and named him Jeffery and he was adopted by a loving family. If you have more questions feel free to ask me! Thank You! I’m currently working part-time as a caregiver; I’m available after 12:00pm during the week; My weekends are flexible. I’ll be working full time once the school year starts! Daisy May is crate trained; I also have a foster puppy who has his own crate too. I have a doggie gate if separation is needed. My yards are not fenced; I stay on a slow traffic street.
“Akilah was amazing! I had to leave town last minute and was so fortunate that Akilah was able to do drop in visits with my cat. She went above and beyond, problem solving when I forgot some supplies. She checked on my cat multiple times and she sent me photos and videos to keep me in the loop of how my fur baby was doing. He really liked her and when I got home he was very calm. I was very pleased with her services and will definitely become a repeat customer. Highly recommend!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve spent many years caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and clients. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. What sets me apart is the level of attention I give every pet. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, medication, extra cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I care for every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide that peace of mind every single visit. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. Because pet care is my priority, I can accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, and customized schedules to meet your pet’s needs. I understand that every family has a different routine, and I’m happy to work with yours to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the same respect and care I would my own. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs to help your pet maintain a sense of normalcy while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority. During walks, I use secure leashing practices, stay alert to our surroundings, and make sure pets are safely returned home after every outing. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I keep your home tidy, double-check doors and gates, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

- 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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
