“Christine was just wonderful with my Yorkie. Even though he’s stubborn and old, she gave him love and took such good care of him. She’s a wonderful woman I would recommend her to anyone.”
“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!”
“Brooke was amazing with our 3 babies especially our anxious Kleio. She sent photos and updates and was a great overnight companion/sitter. We will definitely be booking her for any future trips.”
“Lorianne did a wonderful job housesitting and caring for our two labradors. She was punctual and sent us photo updates the whole time. We highly recommend her as we will want her to care for our dogs in the future!”
About: I’ve volunteered at rescues, worked for a guide dog school, grooming salons and pet food stores and learned a lot of tricks and wisdom in my 13 years of owning and working with animals. Rescuing cats and dogs has been part of my life since I was 12, I know how to care for them at any stage of their life! I can handle giving medication, topically or orally. I can trim nails and bathe as an extra service and brush out a coat if given the right tools and opportunity. Walking around the neighborhood is no problem for me and taking pictures to update you is my specialty! I currently work part time and work full shifts Monday and Tuesday until 7pm; Wednesday and Saturdays are partial and end by 3pm so afternoons with your pup or kitty should be fine with me :)! Thursdays and Friday are free for me and I should have ample time to check on your pets more than once! Leaving me with a list through text or paper to follow about your little ones feeding regimen and/or medication will allow me to double check that everything is done with you before I leave. I will want to stay with your pet for at least an hour or more and give them the enrichment and socialization they need and will update with pictures to make you feel included :). I will take them outside for a potty at least 2x (once at the beginning and once at the end) and a walk in between to ensure they have an ample chance to use the bathroom. I will check around the house where they have access to ensure they haven’t gotten into anything or made a mess and if they have I will report it promptly to you through text or call depending on the urgency to not leave you with any surprises! At the end of the visit I will take a picture or short video of the pet to give you the peace of mind that they are safe when I leave.
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.
“My dogs warmed up to Kennadi right away. While I was away, Radar hurt her leg and could not get up. Kennadi handled the situation until I get back. I would be happy to have her house sit in the future.”
“Irene got along great iwht my dog Luna and attended to every need. She did a good job keeping me informed while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a great person to take care of their dog.”
“This is the second time we have used Shanna for an overnight stay. She has taken great care of our two dogs, communicates effectively and has always left our home in great shape. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ava was absolutely amazing. She was punctual and very communicative. She was very kind and my fury kids absolutely loved her. Will absolutely be using her again along with recommending her to family and friends in the area. Thank you Ava”
“Booked another stay over Christmas time & it was just as great as the first time! So communicative, great with pictures and videos, dogs were really well taken care of! House was also spotless, she even cleaned our fridge which was just above and beyond!!!”
“Molly is simply amazing! She cared for our fur babies and home just like we do! It was so nice to know that she was there, so we didn't worry and completely enjoyed our time away. We found the best when we found Molly!!!”

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
