“We hired Josh for some dog walking. He was very good at calming down our high energy dogs to put leashes on, arrived on time, and gave full 30 minute walks. He also followed some strict rules about our gate unfailingly.”

Samantha S.

About: I have 4 years of experience as a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County. I was trained to care for dogs of various behavioral habits and energy levels. I also have experience caring for the pets of family friends with dogs and cats ranging from seniors with medicinal needs to high energy puppies. I'm comfortable and have cared for dogs of any size. I'm a recent college graduate with plans to start graduate school in the fall so I am free any times of the week for this summer. When entering a client's home, I will take special care to respect their property as well as their animals. I will pay close attention to a dog's behavior in their environment and work to make them as comfortable as possible with a new person.

About: My name is Samantha I have been surrounded by pets ever since I can remember. I am Pet CPR and First-Aid certified as well as previous years experience in a Natural and Holistic Pet Retail store where I gained expansive knowledge in all areas of pet care. You could consider me your personal pet consultant! From a young age, I found joy in taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I put a lot of pride in providing specialized care into the pets I’m caring for, just like they were my own. I myself have a special needs dog, which has taught me even more patience and thoughtfulness when caring for pets. Every single animal is unique and requires a different level of care, and I am able to cater to that individual pets needs. I’m able to provide training to dogs of all ages, nutrition guidance, and recommendations for overall health and wellness. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I have open availability, if not already booked with other pet care. I have my own dog hiking business where I provide enriching nature walks to dogs around Memphis. I am extremely detail oriented and will follow any instructions to a T. I understand the importance of establishing and maintaining routine with pets, so any needs or specifics needed, I will provide. As I mentioned in my About me, I am certified in pet first aid and CPR so in case of a life threatening emergency, I can provide immediate care and transport to an emergency vet.

About: I am a pet person! I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have cared for my own dogs and cats throughout my adult life. Animals have always been part of my family, and I truly love caring for fur babies of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, attention, cuddles, and lots of love. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m known in my community for taking care of friends’ pets when they’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. My home is very pet-friendly, I have a large, fenced in backyard, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my daily life. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I have a secure fenced-in backyard with plenty of green space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get exercise. Pets will receive lots of attention, supervision, affection, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet owner’s routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special preferences to help pets feel comfortable and secure. If needed, I can also crate pets according to the owner’s instructions and comfort level.

About: I was a Manager at a dog lodge for 4 years. I took care of all sizes and breeds of dogs. I am CPR certified. I am pretty good at training dogs, but not professionally. I’m currently on a break from working a full time job. Currently I am enjoying my hobbies, and taking care of my own dogs. We go to the dog park every other day, and they get plenty of enrichment time. I live in an apartment. We have a dog park here. It is fully fenced in and open 24/7. I am also right next to the Shelby Farms dog park. We can do leash walks and off-leash walks if you want. I also have 3 dogs of my own- a whippet, a cavalier, and a cocker spaniel mix. They all are great with other dogs. I also have multiple crates in my house. If anyone doesn’t get along, I have ways to work around it.

“Great”

About: What sets me apart is my love for the animals. This is my first time working in this field but I have had some fur babies in the past so I thoroughly know how to love and take care of them. I’m currently doing this full time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I ‘m available 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard with a pool if your babies love to play in the water. My house is my safe haven. I make sure that your fur babies are loved and cared for in a safe environment.

About: I’m a professional pet sitter and Fear Free Certified. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, including seniors, reactive dogs, and those needing medication support. I’m trained in giving injections, oral medications and inhalers, and I also have rabbit care training and experience with small pets. I limit Rover bookings to ensure each pet receives attentive, personalized care. My goal is to provide low-stress, high-quality experiences rooted in patience, trust, and compassion. For overnight stays, I arrive between 6–8 PM and stay 12 hours to cover the evening, night, and morning routines. I also offer one 30-minute mid-day drop-in visit or walk upon request for overnight clients. For standalone drop-in visits or dog walks, I have more flexibility throughout the day and will do my best to accommodate preferred timing. For boarding in my home, I work from home but do come and go during the day for pet visits and meetings. I only accept dogs on a case-by-case basis because I have five cats. If accepted, we’ll keep their routine as consistent as possible, providing daily enrichment, affection, and supervision. I follow Fear Free principles to provide a safe, calm environment where pets can thrive. I avoid using or supporting tools that increase fear, anxiety, or stress — such as shock collars or electric fencing. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible while maintaining a peaceful, respectful environment. In my home, we only board dogs on a case-by-case basis due to having five cats, and I supervise all interactions carefully. Your pet’s emotional well-being and safety are always my top priorities.

About: I provide dedicated, inclusive care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and life stages. With proficiency in administering both oral and injectable medications, I am uniquely equipped to care for senior dogs and those with specific medical requirements. Whether it’s the high energy of a puppy or the gentle pace of a senior, I offer reliable, compassionate attention tailored to your dog's individual needs. As a dedicated educator, I bring a high level of organization, patience, and reliability to my pet care services. I am currently offering full-time summer availability with maximum schedule flexibility to accommodate your needs. During the academic year, I maintain a consistent schedule and am available for late afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I offer a "home-away-from-home" experience where your dog is treated like family. My household includes two resident cats, making this a perfect environment for cat-friendly dogs. I prioritize frequent outdoor time, with potty breaks every 3–4 hours and daily walks tailored to your dog's energy level. Your pet will have full access to comfortable furniture and will receive plenty of one-on-one affection. For those allowed a special treat, local "pup cup" outings are a favorite summer tradition! I am committed to making sure your dog’s stay is active, safe, and filled with companionship

“Melissa was awesome, Maverick had a great time on his walk!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and current pet parent to a 10-year-old terrier mix, so I understand the care, patience, and attention pets need at every stage of life. We take trips to Shelby Farms and occasionally visit Overton Park, and I truly enjoy staying active and engaged with dogs during walks and outings. Before my current dog, I cared for my previous dog for 11 years, giving me extensive experience with senior dogs, long-term routines, and recognizing changes in behavior or comfort. I love dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels—from playful puppies to older, calmer companions. I’ve also provided house sitting and pet sitting services for dogs and cats in Oxford, MS. I follow care instructions closely and focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own environment. I’m happy to take dogs to nearby parks if requested and always prioritize your pet’s routine and well-being. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. As a dog owner, my days are structured around regular walks, outdoor time, feeding schedules, and check-ins, so adding client pets fits in seamlessly. We take daily walks and park visits, and I’m happy to adjust timing based on your pet’s normal routine. I build my schedule to allow for consistency and flexibility, whether that means morning, midday, or evening visits. I’m reliable with timing, comfortable following detailed instructions, and make sure pets receive the attention and care they need without feeling rushed. For house sitting and drop-ins, I plan my week around booked services to ensure each pet gets focused, unhurried care and plenty of attention. For drop-ins and dog walks, I keep things simple, dependable, and matched to your pet’s routine. During drop-ins, I take care of feeding, water, litter or potty breaks, and a little playtime or cuddles so your pet feels comfortable. For dog walks, I make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable stroll that fits their energy level. My goal is to show up like a good neighbor — reliable, caring, and right on schedule.

About: I currently dog sit two dogs named Ducky and George and have been for a couple months. Previously I have dog(pet) sat for multiple people going on 6 years. I have worked with dogs and animals of all types and sizes and am comfortable with any kind of animal. I I’ve worked with animals my whole life as well being raised on a farm. When I was younger I cared for our donkeys, horses, and helped with the cattle. For as long as I can remember I’ve always had dogs in the family. I currently have 2 Aussie Doodles Max and Molly. And my family often take in and care for older rescue dogs. I have a rescue horse named Journey, he is a big orange sweetheart. I have a varried schedule during the week due to college, but am available most of the time. If I need to make a quick stop I’ll be sure to let the dog out prior to leaving and return as soon as possible. They would be left alone at home no longer then 4 hours. I have a fenced in backyard and the dogs can feel free to use the furniture how they like. If you provide the crate I will lock them up if needed.

About: We have both grown up with animals. Alyssa has grown up with dogs - her family has 2 English Springer Spaniels. She have been asked to dog-sit by friends and family! Brandon grew up with dogs, cats, and even birds! We currently do not have any animals of my own but are looking to get a Boykin Spaniel puppy next year! Our weekends are always free to play with the animals when needed. Friday - we are off work at 1pm so we're available anytime after that. During the week days, we work until 5. We can crate if needed in our home. We live in an apartment that has a dog park as well! We strongly believe animals shouldn’t be in the crate all day. They deserve so much love and time to play! I’ll make sure to spend extra time with them and give them lots of love and attention! Our weekends are always free to play with the animals when needed. Friday - we are off work at 1pm so we're available anytime after that. During the week days, we work until 5. We live in an apartment complex that is surrounded by great walking areas and a dog park.
