“Stephanie was a great sitter. She communicated and posted pics which were very comforting while I was away. I appreciate her for accepting the request and keeping her commitment. Thank you Stephanie, from both Mako and myself.”
“Magnolia was exactly what I was looking for in a pet sitter! I knew right when I met her that my senior kitty was in good hands while I was gone for the weekend. I’ve never used a pet service before and I was nervous, naturally. With a sitter like Magnolia there was no reason to be worried! Smeagol was well taken care of and I will not hesitate to book with Magnolia again. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Jessica took great care of my cat and gave her oral medication on time. She really cared about understanding my pets personality so she could tailor her pet sitting approach to my cat’s specific needs. I would absolutely recommend!”
About: My experience is extensive. Growing up as the oldest sibling of four, in a pet loving household, we’ve had just about every animal under the sun! I’ve taken care of puppies to geriatric cuties (my home pup being 18) and I know all the love and care they need. I’m very responsible and have often been told I go above and beyond in my care! I am currently a dental student at the UT and am there at the most from 8-12, 1-5. A day that long isn’t necessarily typical, but it shows the longest range which I thought may be helpful! Often times I’m home in the morning or afternoon. I also study at home, that being the bulk of my time. I have a fenced in yard and no other animals, perfect for a pet that is used to being by themselves. I do not have a crate, but can do whatever you’re used to!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after pets for family and friends over the years — feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have a cat at home, so I’m experienced with multi-pet households and understand how to keep animals calm and happy in different situations. I work part time, but have been able to easily care for my dog, as my hours aren’t for very long. Pets have always been a central part of my daily life, so caring for your dog will fit seamlessly into my routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, and playtime, and I make sure every pet in my care gets consistent attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. Having grown up with dogs, I know how to read their body language, recognize signs of stress or illness, and respond calmly in unexpected situations. I keep a secure, pet-friendly environment and always follow the owner’s specific instructions for feeding, medications, or routines. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority.
“Bailey is awesome! She came on very short notice to take care of Pancho. I really appreciate her great care for my babe. She does a great job.”
“Our dog has a serious autoimmune disease that requires daily medications so we really needed someone responsible and reliable to take care of him. He also has a lot of anxiety around new people, but Jenny accommodated to our needs and took the time to help us all feel comfortable. She took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town. We will be requesting for her to care for our dog in the future! I would recommend her to anyone!!”
About: I am a resident at UTHSC and love caring for pets in my free time. I grew up with three dogs, but currently do not have one of my own so I would love to take care of yours to get my fix of doggo cuddles and walks. I take a daily walk and would love to bring your pet along! I also do a fair share of lounging so I get along great with lazy pups as well! I live about one block from a dog park, so if given permission I can easily take your pup for a fun play date to the park! I currently work from 9am-12pm, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pet. I take daily walks and have a dog park down the street. I live in an apartment, but I have a closed/fenced patio for your pet to lounge on outside if they enjoy the great outdoors (temperature permitting).
About: I’m a dependable, attentive pet lover who treats every pet like they’re part of my own family, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, cuddles, and personalized care based on their unique needs. Whether we’re out on a walk or they’re staying in my home, you can count on regular updates, a safe and comfortable environment, and lots of love while you’re away. I am available to go for long walks, visits to the park, play time, and/or any of your pet's other needs! I enjoy ensuring that your pet is happy and healthy in my care. With pets of my own, I understand how hard it can be to find someone you trust. I am reliable and trustworthy, and love caring for dogs.
“Savannah made it easy for us to be on vacation without worrying about our little goobers at home! She is incredibly knowledgeable, with a great temperament and personality. 10000% will book again and I greatly appreciate her work! 0 complaints”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a lifelong dog owner, I’ve cared for both energetic pups and senior dogs who required extra patience, compassion, and attentive care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a bartender, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable care for your pets. Whether your dog is staying overnight, coming for daycare, or just needs a walk or drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and love. I live in the Raleigh, Memphis area, making it convenient for local families. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and any special scheduling needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, smoke-free, calm, and pet-friendly, with a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. I also live near several parks and walking trails, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. I have a friendly, social cat who gets along well with other animals and can be comfortably kept anway and completely separated if needed. I also have a sweet, laid-back, crate-trained 7-year-old Chihuahua who enjoys playing with visiting dogs of all sizes and has a gentle temperament. With over 13 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs and those with disabilities, anxiety, and special needs, I understand that every pet is unique. My professional background as a therapist has strengthened my patience, observation skills, and ability to remain calm and attentive, helping me recognize changes in behavior and provide compassionate, individualized care. I’m comfortable administering medications, providing baths and light grooming if requested, and carefully following your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. Pets are welcome on the furniture, and you’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Biological Sciences with a Pre-Veterinary Medicine Concentration. I also graduated from Tennessee College of Applied Technology as an Assistant Animal Laboratory Technician. With that being, said I have a vast amount of experience on how to care for animals. I am currently working part time, so I have a flexible availability when it comes to caring for your pet(s). Monday-Thursday I am available after 3pm, and Friday-Sunday I have full availability. I usually would let the animal get used to my scent and me being in their space, and then I would care for the dog by feeding them, and taking them to go potty. Then, I would play with them to ensure that they do not get bored and not have separation anxiety.
“So very pleased. We were apprehensive leaving our dogs with someone unknown to them. We chose Olivia because she had such good reviews. She was reassuring and sent photos throughout their visit. They looked happy and a part of the family.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach and experience caring for dogs of all ages as if they were my own, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m trained in basic obedience and medication administration, ensuring every dog receives safe, loving, and professional care. I focus on building trust and keeping each pet’s routine consistent for their comfort and happiness. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine since I’m homeschooled and have a flexible schedule. I’m available Monday through Friday, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. This flexibility helps me provide consistent, reliable care and plenty of playtime, walks, and companionship for every pet I watch. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of space to play and relax. My fenced yard allows dogs to enjoy supervised outdoor time, while my friendly kitty offers calm company for social pets. In clients’ homes, I follow their pet’s regular routines, giving them personalized attention, walks, feeding, and playtime to help them feel secure and loved.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Memphis
I booked her to watch my dog while I was out of town, and I had a great experience! She was very communicative and made sure my dog was well taken care of the entire time. She took my dog on several walks, made sure he was fed, and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet. I would absolutely book with her again!
Jaidyn was wonderful! Our cat loved her. She's responsible and communicated regularly to alleviate my anxiety about leaving our kitty alone for the first time. She even helped us troubleshoot unexpected wifi and litterrobot issues which we really appreciated.
Lindsey is incredible! This isn’t our first time booking her, and we always feel completely comfortable knowing our cats are in her care. She’s trustworthy, reliable, and follows all of our instructions perfectly. She also consistently goes above and beyond—refilling their water, cleaning the litter box, playing with them, giving them treats, and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. We’re always so grateful for her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Memphis is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 719 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Memphis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Memphis. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
