“Sierra was amazing! She was super communicative I would highly recommend her and I’ll definitely keep her in mind next time I need some help. I needed her help last minute and she was able to come despite the booking being last minute. Very thankful to her.”

“Robbi was extremely responsive, responding to me within just a few minutes. She picked up my puppies for their walks spot on time and sent great pictures. With the hot day, she made sure that they weren't overheated. I'll definitely use Robbi again.”

About: I’ve had a dog named jewels who is with my mom for 12 years, I raised her and trained as a young girl and wanted to be a veterinarian, I am now a senior in college for psychology. I work three days a week and am very flexible with my schedule. I can do nights and days as well as later nights and early mornings. I treat animals like there my own children, I have a huge heart and I hope to share this will other pets and animals in my community
“Monet is fantastic. My kiddos loved her from the moment she walked in the door. She is calm, patient and attentive and made sure they stayed on their routine. Will definitely have Monet watch my kiddos again.”

About: I’ve grown up with springer spaniels my whole life. I’ve hunted, run with, walked with, trained a little, and snuggled with dogs from birth to death. I’ve volunteered at human societies, with experience walking and feeding the dogs of all age and sizes. I’m currently in college but am willing to walk or run with your animals in my free time. I am free during 12 to 12:30 to check on dogs every day. I am also free after 3:15 weekdays. I’m free most of the weekends and thursdays. I’m determined to leave your home in the way I found it. I will play with your animals safely and without disturbing anything in the house. I will follow any medical or special needs that your animal requires. I avoid unsafe walking areas and make sure the animal is always secured. I understand that trusting your pet with someone is a big deal. I treat every dog as if it were my own and respect your home and instructions completely. I’m happy to provide updates through photos and messages so you know how your animal is doing. I am happy to adjust and adapt to each personality of each animal. I love staying active and am happy to run with dogs who enjoy exercise while also making sure they don’t over do it. If you have any questions about me or my availability please don’t be afraid to message me.
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs of all different ages since I was very little. I believe walks should be enjoyable and safe. I adapt to each dog’s pace, offer patience for puppies, gentle care for seniors, and dependable communication for owners. Pet care fits really well into my weekends. I keep my schedule pretty flexible, so I’m able to focus on walks and give each dog my full attention without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep routines consistent, make sure pets are safe and comfortable, and always give them plenty of attention during visits and walks.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. From my mom breeding puppies since I was a baby to me now having my own 2 cats and a lizard. I’ve stayed up all night with dogs and cats giving birth, I’ve raised kittens and puppies to 8 weeks old and beyond. Available evenings during the week and anytime during the weekends! Give me the opportunity to take care of your fur baby! I look forward to hearing from you! In my home I have 2 cats, a cat tree, and plenty of cat toys! Along with 2 roommates that absolutely adore animals as much as I do.

“Arianne met up with me for a meet and greet and she did a thorough intake of my two Scottie’s quirks. I have two reactive, high energy Scottish terriers and nothing surprised her. My dogs looked incredibly happy in their walk pictures! I highly recommend Arianne. She was easy to work with and great at communicating. I’ve already rebooked! Thank you!”

“She was so prompt to reply to my request. She communicated clearly so I knew what to expect and she knew what to expect. She was prompt and Annie was so happy after her walk. Will definitely use her for my dog again.”

About: Experience. I am active and reliable! Looking to build client relationships and trust! New to Memphis, but not Tennessee. I am from Nashville, and just moved back to Tennessee after living in Laramie, Wyoming. I have a full time job and live a full life here. I hold a degree in Child and Family Studies with a minor in ASL from the University of Tennessee. I grew up with and around dogs all my life, specifically German Shepherds and Akita's. I do not know everything about dogs, but I want to know everything about your dog. Working with Rover is just a fun way to make new furry friends and get to know more people in Memphis. Being there for your pet while you're week got unexpectedly busy or you're away overnight provides relief for you and your furry family. Schedule. Currently working full time, but can be flexible for your pet. I can use my lunch break for walks and medications. I feel like this is something that is relative to each pets schedule and owners request. Safety and Trust. Your dog is family and will be treated as such. Unless I have specific directions or know that your pet is allowed to eat or do something not listed, it does not happen. We have fun while following the rules. Unless it is an EMERGENCY, your pet does not get in the car with me. I trust myself, I do not trust other drivers.
“Wonderful to have a dog lover come in and walk my dogs when I’m away! She was always there when she said she would be and took them for good long walks! Will definitely use again!”

About: I have lived in households with pets my entire life as well as taken care of countless peoples animals while they have been busy or out of town. I go to the dog park just about every day and am well versed in how animals interact with each other and how to make them as comfortable as possible. I am back in the Black Hills until September when school starts up again for me! I am very free and would love to watch some pets of all kinds. I have my own dog and I can have them hang out or she can stay at home just as easily!! I care for all pets in my home and in others the same way, with love and respect. It’s incredibly important for the animals you are dealing with to trust you and I work to ensure that trust at all times.

About: My love of animals and their care has been lifelong. I work fulltime but am currently able to offer drop-in visits in the early Morning hiurd, after hours, and on the weekends, and can care for any plants and mail that might need attention while you are gone. Coverage only in West Boulevard Historical District. Note that my drop-in visits are usually an hour and ideally I will want to meet with you and your pets to review what you might need and want while you are away. This advance visit lets me meet your pet and help transition them to my temporary care while you are gone. However, if you need me for an emergency drop-in because you are stranded due to weather or another reason, I can try to help. I am comfortable with animals of all types including cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish. This includes caring for and treating senior animals and giving medications. Most shy and reclusive pets will come to me. In addition to giving clients a daily update and asking questions as they come up, my trademark is taking quality photos of their pets on a daily basis. In my profile, see examples of photos that I have taken. My schedule is able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I am also available on weekends. To the best of my ability, I will arrive and depart at the same times. I take all the time necessary to get to know a pet in their own home. This is especially important for cats and senior pets. My easy-going photo sessions help with that.
About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs growing up and have always loved them! I have two years of experience in veterinary medicine and in animal care. I’m currently working a part time job in the mornings, so I am available anytime from 1 pm to anytime on any day. I am also willing to be flexible with mornings! I have a fenced in yard and am able take animals outside for potty breaks whenever needed. I am also able to house them inside for any amount of time needed.

Arianne met up with me for a meet and greet and she did a thorough intake of my two Scottie’s quirks. I have two reactive, high energy Scottish terriers and nothing surprised her. My dogs looked incredibly happy in their walk pictures! I highly recommend Arianne. She was easy to work with and great at communicating. I’ve already rebooked! Thank you!

Janet walked our dog, Maddie, for four days in a row. She was on time and was super nice to me and to Maddie! Maddie was excited to see her everyday and loved her walks. We will definitely have Janet walk Maddie again if we have a need in the future. Thank you Janet!!!!
