“Brooke was responsible with my two babies and took good care of them. They are used to being in their home environment with a lot of love and I know they received that.”

“Ariel was so great with looking after our two cats while we were away! She was thorough with her daily updates, and sent us some really sweet pictures too. We were initially very worried about our one cat, who is known to be slightly aggressive with strangers, but Ariel was super patient with her, and even got her to eat some treats, which we are rarely able to do. Will absolutely be repeat customers!”

“Bailey is awesome! She came on very short notice to take care of Pancho. I really appreciate her great care for my babe. She does a great job.”

“Merrick is fantastic and I will absolutely have him watch my dogs in the future. My dogs are usually anxious when I travel, but did great in Merrick's care. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.”

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.
“Katie is fabulous! We are so pleased that Katie was available and interested in watching our senior cat, Bentley. From our first meeting, we were confident that Katie would take excellent care of our anxious and temperamental cat. With an unexpected flight delay, Katie kindly offered to extend her visits. It’s so much nicer to be away knowing that your pet is in such capable hands. We’d definitely ask Katie to watch our cat again. Thank you, Katie, for your compassionate care of our cat!”

“We are so grateful for the care and attention you show our girls. It’s a huge relief to know they are in such good hands when we travel. Thank you so much!!!”

“Melissa did an awesome job watching my kittens. She is always great with them and is a very responsive communicator! Will be going to her in the future for more bookings!”

“Michelle is absolutely wonderful. I have two dogs and one of them is VERY shy with new people. Michelle has been very patient with him and it looks like he is coming around. Michelle also helped me out of a bind when I needed her at an unscheduled day.”

“Ashley and Nathan are terrific! They communicated with me at every visit and provided lots of fun photos. They were easy to work with and went above and beyond for my dogs! I felt at ease knowing my dogs were in such good care! I would very highly recommend them.”

“Samantha was absolutely amazing. She was willing to do a last minute meet and greet and watched my two cats for the weekend. She communicated well and made sure to send plenty of pictures and updates. We will definitely use her again 💕”

“As always, Kay did a great job. I think she is a cat whisperer because our cats, who are pretty shy around most people, just love her. She takes time to sit and just be still with the cats, and I think they appreciate that.”


“Gage did a great job with our babies, very attentive and kept us up to date on his visits. Will definitely use him again and highly recommend him!”

About: I am a lifelong dog lover with 5 years of hands-on experience working in a doggy daycare. During my time there, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities through daycare, overnight boarding, feeding, medication administration, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. This position strengthened my customer service experience, so I understand the importance of communication and keeping parents updated. Although I left the daycare to return to school, my passion for dogs never went away. Becoming a Rover sitter allows me to continue doing what I enjoy most. I strive to make any animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whatever your pup needs, I'd love to help! Thank you <3 I am currently working a full time job and am only available for your needs on the weekends, starting with Fridays at 4pm and ending on Sundays. These accommodations could be arranged if my work schedule aligns and there is a discussion had beforehand. If earlier arrangements are needed for Friday, I could offer a drop in visit. Just be aware that I am not available for uninterrupted house sitting until 4pm. Thank you. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I provide reliable, loving care and would keep up with your pet's normal routine. regular updates with photos will be provided at your request.

“Nayla has been absolutely wonderful! She does daily check-ins during the workweek for my big Newfy girl Bella, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing she is in good hands. Bella clearly enjoys her company, she is always relaxed and happy when I return. I would highly recommend Nayla to anyone looking for a dependable, loving sitter!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, I was raised on a farm, where caring for a wide variety of animals became second nature. That background gives me a strong sense of responsibility and an instinct for understanding each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, which means I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins starting at 4:30 PM during the week. I am completely free on weekdays. If you’re looking for more extended care, I also offer house sitting and can often work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends, allowing me to spend more consistent time with your pets. I aim to be flexible and communicative, so we can find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets’ needs! I tailor my care to each pet and service. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free, including feeding, walks, and plenty of attention. In my own home, I provide a safe, calm environment with close supervision and consistent care. I also have personal experience with shy pets, I adopted my cat Athena at 4 months old from the Memphis Animal Shelter. She was very skittish and required a lot of patience, understanding her needs, and respecting her space when she wanted to be left alone. She is now 8 years old and thriving, and that experience has taught me how to read behavior and adjust care to each animal’s comfort level. No matter the setting, my goal is to keep your pet happy, secure, and well cared for!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - River Oaks-Kirby-Balmoral
Melissa did a wonderful job caring for my kitties while we were on vacation. Melissa is very very friendly and experienced at caring for cats. My cats are really shy, but they came out of hiding for Melissa. She cleaned their litter box every day, changed their water daily, fed them both wet and dry food and also gave them their treats. We knew at the Meet and Greet that Melissa was a great choice. We were not disappointed. I definitely will use her again and recommend booking her in advance if you want a great pet sitter. Thank you, Melissa. I appreciate the extra things you did while we were away!
Ariel is wonderful with our four cats. She really cares about making each and one of them comfortable and happy while we are away. She also leaves the litter area spotless, and was kind enough to take on the extra job of filling our birdbath while we were gone during a hot week this summer. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is a gem!

Nayla has been absolutely wonderful! She does daily check-ins during the workweek for my big Newfy girl Bella, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing she is in good hands. Bella clearly enjoys her company, she is always relaxed and happy when I return. I would highly recommend Nayla to anyone looking for a dependable, loving sitter!
