“Kissie took great care of our nervous dog, We were passing through town for a few days and needed someone to watch her so we could sightsee. I saw other reviews that said Kissie was good with anxious pets. Kiddie was very responsive and send lots of pictures and video! Plus she’s conveniently located near downtown.”
“I am so happy I found Tara! I have felt totally comfortable leaving my forever baby with her. He’s very temperamental and moody with so many people. But he seemed calm when I picked him up. She sent many photos and updates throughout the day which put my mind at ease. I definitely plan on using Tara again when I come to Memphis again”
About: I have 20 years of experience from taking care of my own dogs to taking care of my children’s pets. I am very patient and kind with pets I am retired. I can fully dedicate my time. With being retired? I can make easier arrangements if my time to be flexible! I am happy to be of service. I have a fenced yard and a den area that dogs will be able to run around in and play all day! There is air conditioning as well inside my home and tv for them to watch shows.
“Timorie was amazing to work with! She was flexible with timing of drop-off & pick-up, which was very helpful for my schedule. She sent regular updates & it was nice seeing Bronte looking so happy. Most importantly, my dog was so comfortable with Timorie from the start. Her ‘crew’ of dogs (and cat!) at home were excited to meet Bronte, & although they were very interested in her, they did not overwhelm her. Overall, a wonderful experience. If you are ever in the area, I would highly recommend using Timorie if she’s available! ❤️”
“Derek is very communicative and attentive. He has a great introduction and integration system for his new dogs. It allows them to take their time acclimating to the new environment and only meet the other dogs once they’re calm and ready. Derek responds promptly and sends pictures throughout the stay. We felt confident leaving Cadbury with him and will do so again. He returned home calm, happy, and satisfied.”
“Cornelius was fantastic! My dogs can be a challenge and he made it look easy. He is definitely someone you can trust with your pets. they loved going to see him and I could tell they were well cared for when I came to get them. He's a really great choice for your pet needs. thanks Cornelius. You're great!!”
“Dennis and his wife Sue are so great! I left my French bulldog with them for daycare, and she usually has some separation anxiety but she did great :) You can tell that they both love dogs and are just sweet people in general.”
“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 😊”
“Lori did an amazing job with Fred and Holly. She was flexible, communicated well, and the dogs really seemed comfortable with her. I appreciated the updates throughout the day. It's obvious that she loves animals. I will absolutely rebook if we visit Memphis again.”
“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.”

“Gage was very responsive and accommodating to my dogs stay at his house. He sent pics daily, kept me informed, and they had a great time. He was flexible with drop off and pick up, and always responded in a timely manner. I will definitely use again in the future. Thanks!”
“Mark is great, he watched my puppy girl yesterday, he is very friendly and really seems to love all animals!!! I was nervous about leaving her the 1st time but, he sent several updates with pics and that relieved a lot of my stress!!! When I picked her up she was interacting with Mark, which made me feel very comfortable....they say you can tell a lot about a person by the way an animal relates to them! So...I will definitely take her back! Thanks Mark for taking such good care of my baby girl!”
“I’m so pleased with the care my dog received from Adel and his wife. My dog got to socialize and play outside under their caring and watchful gaze. I felt so at ease leaving him in their care for the afternoon and was able to relax knowing he was in good hands while I ran important errands. I’m so thankful for their services and would definitely use them again if I was in the are. I highly recommend Adel!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Island Forty
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 187 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Island Forty. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Island Forty 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 TN 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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 187 sitters in Island Forty, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
