About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and have cared for many of my own over the years. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic, so I’m familiar with basic health care and how to keep pets safe and happy. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, working with dogs of all kinds and making sure they get the love and attention they deserve. While I work full-time, I make sure dogs in my care get plenty of attention and activity after work. We spend time playing in the backyard, relaxing, and giving lots of affection. My daughter loves being involved and helps make sure every dog feels extra loved. We also enjoy going on walks when possible to keep dogs happy and active. I treat every pet like part of the family! In my home, they’ll enjoy a safe, relaxed environment with a fenced yard for playtime, lots of attention, and plenty of affection. I also have two dogs who are great companions for friendly pups. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable.

Absolutely the best! My sitter has been my go-to for overnight stays even before she started on Rover, and she’s always gone above and beyond for my dogs. This morning she came out in the drizzle without hesitation and still gave Sparta a great walk. Super reliable, kind, and trustworthy—I couldn’t recommend her more!

About: I offer dedicated, highly organized care tailored completely to your fur baby's established routine. My schedule allows me to provide consistent mid-day walks and drop-in visits when your pet needs them most. My pet care journey includes extensive, specialized experience with animals at all stages of life. I have successfully raised and trained multiple litters of puppies, giving me a deep understanding of early behavioral training, socialization, and the patience required for young dogs. Additionally, I have hands-on experience raising and fostering young kittens from just 3 weeks old, both those transitioning to solid food, and litters alongside their mothers, which has taught me to be exceptionally attentive to health, safety, and early-stage socialization. Because I don't work a traditional 9 to 5 job, my schedule is exceptionally flexible and open. My weekly routine is built around a consistent daily schedule, which allows me to easily dedicate prime morning and midday windows to your pets when they need a break, a walk, or a feeding the most. While I do manage a few personal appointments during the week, my days are highly predictable. This structured routine means I can provide your fur baby with rock-solid reliability, consistent timing, and the focused attention they deserve. When providing drop-in visits or mid-day walks, I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and vigilance. Inside your home, I strictly adhere to your exact feeding guidelines, ensure fresh water is always available, and meticulously follow your security routines, including double-checking door locks, securing gates, and setting alarms exactly as instructed. Out on walks, my focus is entirely on your dog. I practice low-stress handling, maintain total awareness of our surroundings to avoid reactive wildlife or loose dogs, and keep a firm, secure grip on the leash at all times. Because of my background managing energetic puppy litters and young fosters, I am naturally geared toward proactive safety, anticipating risks before they happen so your fur baby stays safe, happy, and comfortable every step of the way.

About: I am very conscientious and caring. I have owned and cared for a lot of different animals. I will put your mind at ease and will work with you for the top quality care of your pet. I have a wide open daily schedule. I am an early riser and very flexible to meet your needs. I have a horse I visit and want to fill the rest of my time helping others with pet care. I have experienced firsthand how hard it is to get someone you can trust to look after your furry family and realize it is a need in the community. I currently work with my own two dogs every day to ensure they get the exercise needed and make their dog food from scratch so they remain healthy. I understand that your pet needs interaction and breaks from being by themselves while you are away. Commercial pet boarding just doesn’t cut it and takes them out of their safe familiar environment. Raising their stress levels. They don’t need that in your absence. I can take that stress away and make some friends in the process.

About: I’ve been taking care for dogs for over four years, and during that time, I’ve gained experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. For the past few years, I’ve been regularly taking care of my neighbors’ pets, providing everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m passionate about dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s playing, going on walks, or just relaxing together. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently a full-time nursing student at the University of Memphis, but my schedule is quite flexible as of right now since I’m on summer break. I can easily find time throughout the day to check in on your pets and provide the care they need. Since pet sitting is my primary job, I have even more flexibility on weekends and can dedicate extra time to watching and caring for your pets. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, or overnight stays, I’m happy to accommodate your needs When it comes to caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I keep their environment familiar and stress-free by providing plenty of playtime, affection, and attention. I aim to create a positive, safe experience that helps your pets feel relaxed and happy in their own space.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for 35 plus years. Currently we all work hard to maintain our cat Cricket’s luxurious life of sleep treats eat and repeat. With 10 years experience being a Housekeeper I had the privilege of meeting some special 4 legged family members who in turn I began to pet sit for. I’ve done lots of drop in visits for cats and dogs. Now that I’m a semi-empty nester with one child still in college I’d love to meet and help with your pet. Thanks for considering me! I’m currently a homemaker and volunteer with our church including Sunday School and a Kids church teacher. I have lots availability at the moment and openings for weekdays and weekends. My backyard is fenced and I have one indoor cat. I prefer to do drop ins or daily walks at this time weekdays and weekends.

About: I’m a college student and a big dog lover. I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and taking care of them, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’ve worked in jobs where I had to be responsible and stay calm under pressure, so I’m someone you can trust to handle different situations and follow instructions. I’m patient and pretty good at reading behavior, so I’m comfortable with dogs that are energetic, shy, or need a little extra time to warm up. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. I’m also easy to communicate with and will keep you updated while you’re away. I am available for walks and sitting most days throughout the week. Inquire with me about my schedule! Willing to be flexible and work around the client’s needs! I care for pets in the client’s home and stick closely to their normal routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, and care, and make sure the pet feels safe and comfortable. I also keep the home clean, respect the space, and provide updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away.

About: Animals are my ❤️. I treat your pets like my own so that you can have a worry free day. My priorities are that your pets are safe, healthy and happy. I own my own consultancy business that is remote. My hours are extremely flexible and that allows me to be available to meet your pet’s needs. Safety is my number one priority. I have gotten that call when a dog sitter has accidentally let my dogs out, so I know first hand how important safety is. I take extra precautions to make sure your animal is safe and healthy. For example, I like to enter the home through the garage, shutting the door behind me, so that when entering a home, the animal would be in the garage if it tried to dart out.

About: I am a former kennel technician/veterinary assistant, with over 7 years of experience in the field of veterinary care. My thorough care and ability to remember each animals’ needs allowed me to excel in this position. Taking care of pets gives me the mental break and therapy I love, while allowing me to spend my free time helping others out as well. It’s a win/win! I’m comfortable with any age, breed or temperament. If any medications need given, I am confident with this as well. I can also take care of your aquatic or exotic animals feedings and any plants you may need watered as well! 🪴🐾🦎🐠 I’m at home often, so I will be able to spend most of my time caring for any pets that may need anything. Any time, any day of the week I’m available. By coming to a client’s home, I am hoping to provide the same routine and comfort level for the animal, while their owner is away. By saving the stress of a new environment, I will be able to stick to whatever schedule or requests each client expects of me. I feel in turn the pets will be so much happier and at ease. If they are boarding with me, I live in an apartment with a balcony and with a double fenced dog park/yard. The place is “puppy proofed” for any fur babies. I’m able to follow whatever routine and requests they would need at their own home. My house if your fur baby’s house when they are with me. :)
