“Shoshana (and her family) was the perfect sitter for my senior dog. She provided plenty of updates and was amazing with keeping my dog happy while I was away. Her house setup is perfect for dogs, especially dogs that enjoy hanging out with other pups. I truly appreciate her care for Reagan while I was away and recommend her services for anyone else looking for a reliable sitter to provide loving care for their pets.”

“Brett & Stephanie are awesome! My puppy was happy to see them when I dropped her off, and they kept me updated about her day. They were even flexible with the pick-up time. This was my second time having them watch my puppy, and I will definitely have her stay with them again!”

“Myla was so great! She was easy to talk to and responded to any questions in a very timely manner. My 2 dogs are rescue dogs and showed some initial anxiety when left for the first time. Myla was very responsive and caring and gave them exactly what they needed. She sent updates while we were gone and we returned to some very well cared for and happy dogs. I would highly recommend her!”

“Ms. Mackenzie, didn't hesitate to take care of Gino & Ros'e looking for last minute care. She send pictures & update everyday! She even gave bath to Gino and Ros'e. so prep up! Will not hesitate to do it again! Metz Family”

About: MEMPHIS TN I have many years of pet caring experience, As an 18 year old college student I want to be my skills and abilities to use and help my community! This is great for my future career and I believe it will continue to broaden my abilities and grow the narrow parts of my mind! I live on a ranch with 3 donkeys, 2 dogs, and 13 chickens! I absolutely adore them and I would do anything to see my animals flourish and for me the biggest thing with Dog sitting is trust, I believe that animals were put here to be the best friend you will only ever experience once. I also have had many years of experience with puppy handling, I understand the dedication it takes to raise wonderful babies! I’m here to help! Jackson TN ❗️Now-APRIL 30th❗️ Memphis TN :) Pet care will be based upon my availability as a student athlete I have a lot of obligations/ responsibilities, and a young adult, but for my major this will definitely be a good help and jump start. I am as flexible as possible! I am an extremely trust oriented person. I want the relationship with my clients to be as organic and positive as possible, I am very open to strict instructions and I want to be able to provide the best experience as possible! I try to communicate as much as possible and be courteous to your time!!!

“I had the best experience with Abby. Dutch was always so happy with her and her family. The pictures and updates I go through the time she had him just made me feel at ease. Would definitely book with her again!”

“I can’t say enough WONDERFUL things about Katie! From the daily pictures and updates, to how she was always available to ensure we were kept in the loop of activities/outings. Will definitely keep this connection going!!!”


“Gage was amazing! First time ever leaving my 5 month old GSP & she had a blast with him! He sent videos daily of her just loving the fenced in backyard & kept me up to date the whole week! Pick up & drop off was a breeze even with my delayed flight home he made it painless! Would highly recommend him & will be trusting him in the future with my fur baby again!”


“Kimberly was great and took such good care of our dogs! I appreciated the daily updates and pictures and it was so nice not to worry about them while we were gone. We'd definitely use Kimberly again!”

“Nina was great with our big fur baby. He was happy and content staying with her and came home without any concerns. We boarded him where we were on vacation, otherwise we would book with her every time. If youre in the memphis area, book with Nina!”

“Bella was well taken care of during my cruise. There was daily communication and pictures of Bella smiling. She returned home without any problems. Padmaja was so professional and welcomed Bella as if she was here own! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Tara is the best! She has watched my dog for at least fifteen times. She is very trustworthy, kind, and friendly. Along with this, she is super quick to respond which makes things easy! My dog loves going over there and playing with the other dogs. I would highly recommend Tara if you are looking for a sitter :)”


About: I have worked with all sorts of animals since I was 12 years old ranging from little puppies to even donkeys. I’m currently in college playing basketball and dog sitting as a side job to help me as I’m a full-time student athlete. My neighbors and friends always come to me first to take care of any kind of animal and I’m a deep cleaner so if any mess happens I’m there too clean it up and, I am able to wash dogs as well if needed. I can also administer a kind of medication if needed. My part-time work lets me easily fit pet care into my day with lots of walks, play, and snuggles. I am currently not available for boarding, but any kind of drop-in visits or walking I’m available at any time of the day. My part-time availability allows for a very hands-on and involved approach to pet care, ensuring my furry companions are well-exercised, stimulated, loved, and healthy. I do not have a fencing backyard, but I am always capable of walking your dog and making sure that they can be put in their crate or whatever the task maybe.
“Derek accepted my request to sit for my new 5mo pup while I had to travel for work for 3 weeks (which last minute became 4 weeks) and he was nothing short of fantastic the entire time. He has great communication with at all times respective to his working hours. He is happy to sending pics/videos as often as you'd like and at request when you're missing your baby extra hard. I only had my baby for 3 weeks before I had to travel so she had barely any training under her feet when Derek took her in, and he was so forgiving & sympathetic of any negative behavior which was above and beyond what I could have asked for. He has has his own dog & a foster that he made sure to introduce with my puppy appropriately and kept an eye on all their interactions together while they were all adjusting (which didn't take long at all, and my pup adored her well-behaved temporary brothers!). Derek was my first experience with Rover and I don't plan to seek out any other sitter unless Derek is unavailable, and he will my first recommendation to anyone else to need a sitter in Memphis. Thank you SO much for the care & love you showed Koda while I couldn't be here, I appreciated it more than you know to have the peace and assurance that she was in good hands!”

About: Animals are human. I’m very patient and lovable. We loss out pet Yorkie of old age the age of 14. We travel played in park did videos. So I think it’s my calling to help your pet friendly member to live a humble life like my pet Lexy. I love cats also. I work hour(9-4pm)So I can be a very helpful in the evenings and off on the weekends and holidays. My daughter is at an age that she’s very mature and loves pets. Well I don’t like cages so I make it pet friendly like it’s they home. Make them feel comfortable and safe. If they like my singing a d dancing we should work well.
“Aurelie gave our two dogs a happy environment for a week while we traveled, and she gave us peace-of-mind with thoughtful updates, pictures and videos. The pups were relaxed and cheerful when we picked them up, so we know they enjoyed their stay. We appreciate her so much!”

“All I can say is “AWESOME”. Madeline took great care of my 2 high maintenance pups for 5 nights. This is my first experience using a sitter and she set the standard high.”

“I am blown away by the level of attentiveness, communication and professionalism Titeara has shown in caring for Ciara. We booked last minute and Titeara was very accommodating and welcoming. We received 10+ pictures every other hour and regular detailed updates of Cici’s activities, treats, stools, sleep patterns everything. Cici was smiling in every pic, I’m scared she won’t want to come home! 100/10 would recommend, and 100/10 will rebook. Thanks Titeara!”

Oakland pet parents share their Rover experiences
Carson did a fantastic job taking care of my little dog for the week, while we were on vacation. I received daily photos/videos/updates. I highly recommend her to anyone, but especially those who have dogs with separation anxiety, or anxiety around small kids or other animals. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
