“Raith was awesome with our three animals. Super communicative, really flexible and the animals all completely loved hanging out with them. Will definitely be booking Raith again!”
“Had a great experience with Stephanie and Elizabeth! They house/pet sat for us for a full week and we were not concerned at all while away as we knew our pets (2 dogs and turtle) were in great hands. They sent us regular updates including photos and videos! We felt very comfortable with them both with our pets and in our home. Without a doubt, we will use their services again. Thank you for helping make our time away more enjoyable!”
“Amanda was excellent and would highly recommend! We were gone for 10 days and she continued to consistently send photos, videos and updates everyday. She was very flexible in adjusting to our dogs needs and took good care of our home.”
“This was our first time working with Jonathan as our pet/house sitter and it was a great experience. We were grateful that he was willing to stop by a second time before our trip so we could have the peace of mind that our dog would recognize him and be comfortable. He also sent us updates and pics every couple days and the house was just as clean as we left it. Couldn’t ask for more!”
“Seth spent a long weekend with our pups and cat and took great care of the animals and our home. His knowledge and empathy with animals is evident in his updates and communication.”
“Dawn was fabulous! She was communicative and really bonded with our dogs and ducks! She even left our house cleaner than she found it!!! I could not have asked for a better dog/duck/house sitter!”
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.
“Michael was wonderful with my dog. He was attentive and sent plenty of pictures and provided updates. I appreciate his flexibility with his schedule since this was a last minute booking. Would definitely recommend and plan to book with Michael in the future.”
About: I have a lifetime of caring for pets of all types and have always had dogs and/or cats as a pets. When I was younger I worked as a vet technician. I recently wrapped up my long time career of 20 years working in the zoo and aquarium field the last 8 years as a supervisor managing the team and department, so I am very well skilled with working with and caring for animals including farm animals. I currently have 5 amazing dogs of my own. Transitioning in my life and starting a new pet business with a mobile dog gym. In the meantime working in some pet sitting and dog walking. Looking forward to meeting some new furry friends and wonderful pet owners! Ease your mind and hire someone who has made a career out of caring for animals! I am currently transitioning in my career and starting a new business, so right now I'm pretty flexible as my mobile dog gym business ramps up. Check in and let me know what you need, I'm sure I can move some things around! I am happy to follow any care instructions provided by pet owners to a T! I would also be happy to provide any advice based on my experience if asked.
About: I have been professionally and personally caring for all types of animals for 10+ years. I have had all kinds and sizes of dogs ranging from chihuahuas to pit bulls! Currently, I am not allowing pets over to my house, but I am happy to travel to you! This is not just a job for me, but truly a passion! There is no work I find more fulfilling and I hope you’ll consider me to help love and care for your pets! I am available anytime of the day every Saturday and Sunday with 1 day notice! Morning, afternoon, or night, I am here to care for your pets! Weekdays I am typically only available in the evenings. When coming to your home to care for your pets, I always make sure your animals are fed and given water if needed. I also make sure dogs are always on their leash before letting them outside unless it is a fenced backyard to make sure they are safe.
“Larissa went above and beyond for us! At the very last minute my daughter’s dog sitter had to cancel and Larissa was kind enough to watch all 4 dogs :). We also had some malfunctioning smoke detectors that were beeping and she was not a bit phased by the scramble to get that taken care of. Communication was great and Larissa made things super easy for us! We definitely felt like our pups were in good hands. I highly recommend her, she is a pleasure :).”
About: Hello! My name is Andrea and I am a full-time student alongside working part-time as an EMT. During my downtime, I study, organize my days and spend time with my animals. They are my absolute pride and joy, the best friend you could ask for! I have always loved dogs, and have had animals since I was five years old. I used to pet sit for neighbors before I moved away to college and really enjoyed it! I also volunteered at Nate's Honor Animal Rescue, which is located in Bradenton. I enjoy growing and learning more and more about different animals as I become more experienced on this app! I am looking forward to taking care of your fur babies with the same love and care you provide for them!
“Elliana went really above and beyond with my house and animals. She left the house and critters cleaner and happier than she found them. She took care of house tasks and was so accommodating during her housesit. She gave love to Leo over the holidays and even got him a Christmas treat. She was great. She also has a history of working with animals, which is a comfort in every way.”
“Heidi is the absolute best, she took amazing care of my little girl while I was away on a business trip and I can’t be more grateful for her. This is the first time that I’ve ever used the service so I was a bit apprehensive at first but she put my mind at ease and kept in constant contact the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy person for their pet care needs!! 10/10!”
“Great experience with Lexi! She watched our dog at our home & did amazing with Daisy! She was so friendly, sent photos of Daisy, and kept us up to date on how she was doing. Great communication & Daisy loved her! Would highly recommend.”
About: Willing to be trained, lol. But seriously paying attention to detail and keeping all pets healthy is key to caring for the pet and friend. Part time work now and care here is part time pay. It fits in quite naturally as pets keep ya healthy just walking around . I have them inside and take for long walks around the peaceful community at the Christian Retreat. Whatever activity that is needed can be achieved.
About: have owned dogs my whole life and have always had a love for animals. I understand how important it is to make sure dogs feel safe, happy, and cared for. I am patient, loving, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, giving them exercise, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention. I will treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure their owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands! Pet care has always been a natural part of my life because I have grown up around dogs. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I am happy to work with pet owners to schedule walks and visits that fit their pets’ routines. I understand the importance of being dependable and making sure every pet receives quality care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I will always make sure dogs are securely leashed during walks, stay aware of our surroundings, and provide plenty of water and breaks when needed. I will follow each owner’s instructions carefully and respect their home and their pet’s routine. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I will always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Memphis
Lindsey was great with our two small dogs. When she came to the house to meet them, they instantly liked her, which isn't always the case with a lot of people. They have a mildly complicated feeding routine. Lindsey took notes and handled their mealtimes well. She was communicative throughout our 8 day trip, sending us photos and updates. Our flight was delayed coming back and she made sure to check in with us to ensure we got home and rhe dogs were OK. We highly recommend her!
Alina was great! She was available for a couple of last minute requests and my dog likes her so much I think we will now be repeat clients. She is very patient, and kept me inform every day about my dog's behavior (my shelter dog is getting old and sometimes is taking longer to "warm up" to strangers now). I highly recommend Alina. She is sweet, kind, reliable and great with gaining your pet's trust :)
McKayla was absolutely amazing while house-sitting and caring for my dog, Mable, and my cat, Kaiah. Mable is still a puppy with a ton of energy, so she can definitely be a handful, but McKayla was incredibly patient, attentive, and wonderful with her. She also took great care of Kaiah and made sure both pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. What really stood out was her communication. She sent so many photos and updates throughout my trip, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in great hands. She was always easy to reach, quick to respond, and kept me informed the entire time. Since she stayed in my home, I also appreciated how respectful and responsible she was. Everything was clean, tidy, and exactly as I left it when I returned. Coming home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house made all the difference. I would absolutely book McKayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring pet sitter. She went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dogs and cats while we were away, and gave us complete peace of mind. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be booking with her again!
I'd use Shanna and her husband any time. Watched my guy for three nights at my place. Great communication -- they sent me updates after every meal and walk that he took his meds ate, peed, pooped, and photos each time. Exactly what I need to make me feel like he's being well taken care of. Five stars!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Memphis is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,432 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Memphis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Memphis walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Memphis maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Memphis choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Memphis. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
