“Keyanna was very organized and friendly. She welcomed my dog Atlas and had a great method established to introduce the dogs to each other. She administered vitamins and sent pictures to update me! I’d book again!”
“I don’t normally write reviews, but I feel that Andrenette took such good care of Maple that this warrants one. Andrenette was fantastic with Maple, she really went above and beyond with her care, provided fantastic communication and constant pictures, videos, and updates. I felt at ease the entire time, and did not have to wonder even once how Maple was doing. I give my glowing recommendation!”
About: I have a large backyard with plenty of room for dogs to play, explore, and burn off energy throughout the day. I also have a very friendly golden retriever, Theo, who is neutered and loves making new friends. He is gentle, social, and used to being around other dogs, which makes our home a great environment for pups who enjoy companionship. My home is a calm, clean, and structured environment and I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including accommodating to feeding schedules, crate training, medications, and special instructions. I work from home and usually never have to leave the house during the day, so your pet will never be left alone unless already discussed! Particularly for day care services, your pet will have access to the home and have a big backyard and plenty of space for comfort. Your pet will be in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I can introduce dogs slowly and carefully, especially when meeting our golden retriever Theo, who is neutered, very friendly, and used to being around other dogs. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor time and live near a walking trail where dogs can get safe daily exercise on leash. Inside the home, dogs have plenty of space to relax, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, crate use, medications, and routines. Only dogs that are a good fit for the home are taken in so that everyone stays safe and comfortable. I can provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is being well cared for. The goal is to make every dog feel at home!
“Mark did a amazing job with Mel’Oh I even book him on short notice and he was excited to have Mel’Oh back again. Thanks Mark for all your hard work and commitment to care for Mel’Oh”
About: I have been a dog sitter/walker for over 4 years!! I absolutely love dogs!! I can't wait to hear from you and watch your sweet puppies! I have the sweetest baby girl that will usually stay with her dad or tag along and I have class at The University of Memphis on Tuesdays for just a little bit! Other than that, my schedule is pretty open! I have a very spacious yard, perfect for your dog/dogs to run around in!!! I love to cuddle up on the couch and watch movies and play with your sweet puppies!
“Very satisfied with my pup’s stay with Michael. I was sent updates and photos of her during her stay which made me so happy! I can tell she was truly living her best life, even getting cuddles on the couch! I would recommend Michael 100% and will definitely book again when I’m out of town and need a sitter!”
“Kissie was great! I could tell my pup was in good hands from the meet and greet. She’s very timely and kept me up to date with his daily walks and meals. I’m definitely going to book with her in the near future and would recommend you do the same!”
“So happy we found Amanda, she's great with our dog and he's so happy to stay with her and gets excited when he sees her. It's such a relief knowing he's somewhere he loves and in great care while we're out of town!”
“My yorkie puppy had a great time at Kaylor's. She has 2 other small ones of her own & the family all seems to love dogs. She paid close attention to him & they even had him swimming for his first time, with my permission. I got videos & felt very comfortable with him being there. I'd definitely hire her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Olivia was great. She was very nice and accommodating. I got some great pictures of my pup while on our trip which was comforting and she made scheduling pickup/drop-off very easy. I'll definitely use this service again and look especially for Olivia. Highly recommended all the way around.”

I’m currently a surgery intake nurse at MVS (Memphis Veterinary Specialists and Emergency) I have worked at a previous vet clinic as a veterinary assistant and several kennel positions from 2017. I have gained lots of experience with breeds and special needs dogs because of them. I do know how to perform cpr and do any possible medications. I also know how to deal with very nervous and or scared dogs that may need lots of time before they warm up. I only use positive reinforcement. I also have lots of experience with cats and any possible medications or special needs with them as well I currently work 7:30am-5:30pm Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. I work 7:30am-4:00pm on Thursday with Fridays off. I do not work holidays or weekends. Depending on your location and how busy my work is I may be able to do a lunch time visit. I unfortunately don’t have a fenced in yard but I do live right next to a very safe park and can provide rides to other exciting outdoor areas. My apartment is very dog safe. All animals are allowed on furniture and is strongly encouraged. I want my home to feel like it is theirs!

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 .
