About: 🐾 13+ Years of Experience 📸 Daily Photos & Updates 💊 Medication Experienced 🙀 Fearful Pet Friendly 👇 Hi, I’m Megan! 👋 Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been providing professional pet care for over 13 years. I began pet sitting in 2013 and have successfully operated my own pet care business since 2017. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, anxious, playful, or somewhere in between, my goal is always the same: to provide safe, loving, individualized care while giving you complete peace of mind. 💼 My professional experience includes serving as a Shift Lead at a busy boarding facility, where I helped care for hundreds of dogs and cats alongside a team of animal care professionals. This experience taught me how to confidently handle a wide variety of personalities, breeds, medical needs, and unexpected situations while ensuring every pet received the attention and care they deserved. 🤓 I have experience with: ✔ Puppies, adults, and senior pets ✔ Large and giant dog breeds ✔ Multiple-pet households ✔ Oral and topical medication administration ✔ Rescue, fearful, and anxious pets ✔ High-energy dogs needing extra exercise and enrichment ✔ Cats of all temperaments, from social lap cats to expert hide-and-seek champions ❤️😍 One of the things I love most about pet care is earning an animal’s trust and watching them become excited to see me. Whether your furry family member wants endless playtime, snuggles on the couch, a walking buddy, or simply a calm and patient presence, I adapt my care to fit their individual personality and needs. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, which is why communication is one of my top priorities. During your booking, you can expect plenty of photos, detailed updates, and regular check-ins so you always know exactly how your furry family members are doing. My goal is to make you feel connected and reassured, even when you’re miles away. 📬🗑️🪴 As a complimentary part of my services, I’m happy to bring in mail and packages, manage trash day by taking bins to and from the curb, and help with other small home-care tasks that keep everything running smoothly while you’re away. Basic plant watering may also be available upon request, with more extensive plant care considered on a case-by-case basis. I love helping clients return home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. ✅🪪 For additional peace of mind, I am background checked through Rover, and bookings made through Rover are backed by Rover’s protection program. 🏁🙌 My goal isn’t simply to care for your pets while you’re away—it’s to become someone they genuinely look forward to seeing. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to provide the kind of care that lets you travel with confidence and return home to a happy, relaxed pet. 📆🛋️🐾 I do require meet-and-greets for overnight stays because building trust with both pets and their humans helps create the best possible experience for everyone. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐶❤️🐱 Pet care is my primary focus right now, which allows me to be extremely flexible and fully present for each booking. I do not currently follow a traditional 9–5 schedule, so I am able to adjust my day around your pet’s routine rather than the other way around. This means I can provide consistent feeding times, medication schedules when needed, multiple daily visits if required, and plenty of time for walks, play, and companionship without rushing. I structure my day around the pets I’m caring for so they receive reliable, attentive care throughout the entire booking. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal environment and routine as closely as possible to reduce stress while you are away. I follow all owner instructions carefully and make detailed notes to ensure consistency throughout the stay. For cats, I clean litter boxes daily (and more often if needed), monitor litter box habits for any changes, and ensure fresh water is always available. For all pets, I regularly refresh water bowls, observe eating habits closely, and adjust feeding approaches only when instructed or when necessary for the pet’s comfort and safety. I provide detailed daily photo updates and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I also keep a running “daily report” style summary of behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, mood, and activity so you get a clear picture of how your pet is adjusting while you’re away. Communication is always open. If anything seems unusual, I will reach out immediately so we can address it together.

About: Hi! I’m Taelyn! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have always had a soft spot for animals of all kinds. I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and even squirrels (yes, really!), so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had experience with senior dogs, puppies, high-energy pets, and reactive animals who may need a little more patience and time to feel comfortable. I understand that every pet is different, and I never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, a slower pace, extra reassurance, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and cared for. As a pet parent myself, I know firsthand how much trust goes into choosing someone to care for your pet. They’re family, and I’ll treat them that way. 🐾 I currently freelance, which gives me a very flexible schedule and the ability to make pet care a true priority. I’m able to build my days around your pets’ needs, whether that means stopping in for some extra playtime, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them some company and love while you’re away. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine to make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pets. I’m mindful of your privacy, belongings, and routines, and I’m experienced with crating pets when needed. I’ll follow your instructions closely, leave your home just as I found it, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: Growing up surrounded by animals means caring for pets isn't just a service I offer—it's second nature. As a lifelong pet owner, I’ve spent years sharing my home with dogs, cats, and small animals, learning firsthand the unique quirks, routines, and personalities that make each animal special. ​That lifelong experience naturally led me into pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve handled everything from high-energy puppies who need endless game-time to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle handling, and strict medication schedules. Im currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding in your home weekends and holidays and weekdays after 12pm. Caring for my own 2 Labador Retrievers daily gives me deep, practical experience in keeping high-energy, affectionate dogs happy, healthy, and structured. I bring that exact same standard of care directly into your home when watching your pets. ​Here is how I care for my Labs and bring that expertise to your home: ​Structure & Exercise: My Retrievers thrive on consistent daily walks, active fetch sessions, and mental stimulation like puzzle toys. I adapt this energy outlet to your dog’s specific age, breed, and fitness level. ​Mealtime & Health Routines: With my own dogs, strict feeding schedules, weight monitoring, and coat care are second nature. I follow your home’s exact feeding, dietary, and medication instructions down to the letter. ​Positive Energy & Safety: Labs are famously friendly but require strong leash skills and reliable impulse control. I use gentle, structured reinforcement to ensure safe walks and calm house manners. ​In-Home Comfort & Peace of Mind: Caring for dogs in their home environment minimizes stress. I keep your pets content in their familiar routines while keeping your home secure, clean, and well-maintained. ​Whether it is keeping up with a high-energy Retriever or giving gentle attention to a quiet senior dog, I treat every client's home and pet with the same love, vigilance, and dedication I give my own.

About: My wife and I are huge pet lovers. She's been doing pet foster care since she was young and I've had the privelage of owning a few animals myself. I absolutely love being around animals of all kinds and loving on them as I would my own. We also have experience with medication administration. We're flexible and adaptable and here for your fur babies! If your fur babies like to be around other animals we have a very loving dog who loves all animals and loves to play. I look forward to speaking with you and getting to know your pets! Ally is a stay at home mom, though she does have a job that takes her away periodically she's at home the majority of the time so there is almost always someone available to give the animals the love and attention they deserve. We have a fenced yard with some space to run and stretch or get some fresh air. Sometimes we take multiple dogs at a time but not normally. If separation is required a crate is preferred but we do have extra rooms and baby gates to give the dogs their own space is we need to leave the house or for sleeping hours.

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life! I grew up taking care of my family’s dogs and cats, and I’ve taken care of family friends’ and professors’ animals for 4 years. I know people’s animals are their family, and that is how your dog or cat will be treated with me! I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and pets with different needs such as animals with anxiety and blind pets. I currently work full time at the University of Memphis. When taking care of someone else’s pet, they are my top priority and I adapt my schedule around the animal and their care! Additionally, I will ensure they are always safe and secure. Whether that means making sure all the gates are locked before letting them out, crating them before I leave, or showing them extra love if they’re feel nervous about their family being away. I will also be sure to leave your home clean and cared for while you are away. I take pet sitting very seriously, and I will treat your pet as if it were my own while you’re gone! I also know consistent communication is key when caring for someone’s animal, and I will be sure to always have my phone on me to send you updates and cute pictures of your pet! While I do work full time and am in graduate school, I make sure that I am allotting enough time to be able to prioritize your animal. So whether that is waking up earlier to walk them or coming during my lunch break to check on them, I will adapt my routine around your pet! Safety is a fundamental piece of being able to care for someone’s pet because they are apart of your family. In my home, they will be the only pet around! In your home, I will always verify gates and doors are locked for the protection of your pet and belongings. Additionally, I will ensure leashes and harnesses are put on correctly before every walk! Their safety and happiness is always a priority to me!

About: I’m experienced with high-energy & large dog breeds! I focus on structured, alert walks and attentive supervision. Above all else, I prioritize your dogs routine & safety first. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I tend to be more available in the mornings & afternoons, but am happy to do evening work should the need arise! My schedule tends to vary week to week, but my evenings get busy from Thursday to Saturday. Otherwise, I’m happy to help! Safety, structure, and home security are my highest priorities. For house sittings and drop-ins, I strictly follow the owner's established rules, keep entryways locked, and double-check gates/doors before and after any outing. For walks, I practice active leash management and remain hyper-aware of my surroundings—maintaining safe distances from triggers, bikes, and other dogs. I ensure fresh water is always available, and send detailed updates after every visit so you know your pet and home are completely secure.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every dog is different, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. 🐾💓 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day since it’s currently summer. After summer, I will be Busy Mon-Fri Mornings, but will be able to work in the afternoons. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. 🐾💗 Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I have a fully fenced backyard & front yard that can be split. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and treated with patience and kindness. I understand how important trust is when leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I will treat your furry family member as if they were my own. 🐶🐱💗

About: I am very familiar with small to mid-size dogs. I have cared for a Beagle Pit and a Catahoula Leopard dog for nearly 12 years with my family. I am famillar with dog walking and feeding these dogs. I also helped care for my aunt's smaller dogs on my visits years ago, a Shih Tzu, Yorkshire tTrrier, and two other small dogs (all rescues). I am currently only involved in my studies so my schedule is more flexible. Starting mid-August I will have one 3-hour block Monday through Thursday that I will need to be in classes. Beyond this I am flexible! I can only care for pets in you/the client's home as my Catahoula Leopard (as the breed suggests) is extremely territorial. I can do drop-ins or walks for your doggy throughout the day.

About: I have been handling dogs for about 9 years now. I currently offer In-Home dog grooming where I bring the salon to the comfort of your home. I work for myself so my schedule can be pretty flexible. Most grooming appointments are scheduled between 10:30am to 5pm. I will accommodate walk requests as best as possible. If walk requests are after 7pm (after dark) I may have a Buddy along to accompany me during the walk for safety but I will always inform my client prior to accepting requests. I have a lot of senior doggos so I am very attentive and report anything out of the ordinary in regards to their behavior.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Rhome

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Rhome is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $16 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 November 2026, there are 4,193 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Rhome. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rhome choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Rhome with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rhome. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
