Tara was fantastic with our prone-to-anxiety elder dog — she did such a great job responding to his needs — I have no doubts she’d be a fantastic fit for any furry friend!

Brenna is an excellent and professional sitter! We were very comfortable leaving the country for three weeks knowing she would provide daily care for our cat. Her daily reports and photos are detailed and show how much she cares about the animals for whom she is providing care. Would recommend her 100%!

Stella was excellent, dropping in a few times a day to care for our cat Mayzie while we were gone for a few days. We were not worried for a moment! Mayzie and the house were both in perfect order when we got back. Would recommend her and we would have her watch Mayzie anytime!

About: Hi! I'm a pre-vet student with hands on animal care experience and a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can fully trust, so I focus on providing attentive, dependable care while making sure your pet feels safe and loved! Whether its walks, playtimes, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as my own. My goal is to give owners peace of mind while creating a fun, calm, and caring experience for their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine and is something I prioritize and plan around. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends depending on the day. I’m able to accommodate regular visits, drop-ins, walks, and feeding schedules, and I make sure to build my commitments around each pet’s needs. I’m reliable with timing and communication, so pet parents can feel confident their pets are being checked on and cared for as planned. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any specific behavioral needs or preferences each pet has. I make sure doors are secured, litter boxes are clean, water is fresh, and the space is kept tidy and comfortable. I also focus on building trust with each pet by moving at their pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and giving them gentle attention and reassurance. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping everything clean and leaving things exactly as I found them. My goal is always to ensure both pets and owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident while I’m there.

Bailey took great care of our cats and dog while away. We have a large Rottie that can be a bit intimidating but she handled him with ease. Her attention was much appreciated.

I can’t recommend Anne enough! She took care of my two cats for an entire month with daily drop-ins, and she was incredibly responsible, reliable, and caring throughout the whole stay. Communication was great — I consistently received updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book with Anne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

About: Hi, I'm Brittany! I'm a dependable animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 10-year-old cat and grew up in a household with pets, giving me a lifelong appreciation for animal care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I worked at a doggy daycare where I was responsible for supervising and caring for groups of 8–12 dogs at a time. This experience taught me how to safely manage dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'm committed to providing reliable, loving care while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Pet care works into my day easily. Since I have a very flexible schedule it allows me to easily block out time in the mornings, middays, and evenings to dog walking and drop-in visits. I build my day around the feeding, exercise, and medication times requested by my clients. This flexibility ensures that I can always be reliable, prompt, and fully focused on providing attentive care without rushing. Make sure the fences are closed and locked before letting any dogs outside to play. Making sure all trash cans are closed and anything the dog could get into that they shouldn't be able to is secure and put away.

About: I’ve had a strong love for dogs since I was a small child, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m playful and energetic with active dogs, while also being calm and comforting to more laid-back pups who just want cuddles and company. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and happy. I’d love the opportunity to enjoy every special moment with your fur baby and care for them like they’re my own. Since it’s summer and I’ve already graduated, I have a very open and flexible schedule and am available most days at almost any time. I’m able to stop by in the morning, afternoon, and again before the night ends to make sure your dog is comfortable, cared for, and getting plenty of attention throughout the day. Taking great care of your dog and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved will always be my top priority. I have a fenced yard, feeding bowls, and a leash to help keep your dog safe and comfortable while in my care. I’m also more than willing to purchase any additional supplies needed to make sure your dog is cared for properly and feels as comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always come first with me.

Lidia was the best pet sitter! She is so thorough, attentive, and thoughtful. She made sure my senior cat was very well taken care of! I found out the day before I had to leave that my cat has hyperthyroidism so I was worried about leaving him, but Lidia’s updates were very in-depth and made me feel confident and comfortable in his care. She will definitely be our go-to pet sitter from now on!

About: I have years of experience with dogs of many breeds. I can care for your dogs safely at your home. Feel secure when you travel. I'm new to the Memphis area and looking to meet nice families who need help with their dogs. I can walk or play with them as well as sit when you're away. I can stay at your home or travel back and forth daily whichever you prefer. I have a flexible schedule and prefer medium and large dogs.

About: Hello, I'm Alex! I am a former Veterinary Technician with 3 years of training, and I've lived around animals my entire life. I have a strong passion for taking care of animals large and small. I am experienced in caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, insects, and many more! My wife, also named Alex, is a professional dog trainer and photographer. Between the two of us, we have years of knowledge regarding animal behavior and care-giving. We can guarantee that if you book with us, your pet will receive the highest quality comfort and safety. We're currently living in a small, quiet neighborhood just north of Memphis. Our house boasts a spacious backyard, with a gated enclosure for introducing new pets safely! We also have easy access to a patch of forest near our house, multiple small parks, and dog-friendly venues and restaurants! Aside from the usual necessities that every pet needs (food, water, and toys), our home is equipped with a variety of kennels, a secure dog bedroom, two litter boxes, and security cameras to ensure that no pets go unsupervised for too long. Our personal pet family consists of a 2yr old mixed-breed dog, adorable Dutch Shepherd puppy, two playful DSH cats, and two reptiles that live in terrariums. I'm a stay-at-home husband working around the clock to keep the house tidy, so your pets will have 24/7 care and affection! Dogs will receive bathroom breaks every 3 hours, supervised playtime in the morning and afternoon, as well as breakfast and dinner if they stay overnight. If your dog is allowed on furniture, let me know ahead of time and they can watch TV with us on the couch or snuggle up in bed! When I'm not at home, I will be helping my wife train dogs, running errands, or dropping into a client's home to look after their pet. We live in a cozy house with a spacious fenced-in backyard. Dog boarders will be able to play, run around outside, and spend quality time with us during the day. Cat boarders will have their own space to roam on the other side of the house, away from barking or loud noises. All dogs are kept separated in kennels while unsupervised, to minimize accidents and discourage bad behavior. We have experience mitigating and deescalating aggressive pet situations, so your dogs will receive top notch protection and security.
