About: Hi there! My name is Laura, and I work in the legal field. I have been around dogs for just about my whole life and absolutely love animals. I currently have two dogs of my own. I have also dogsat for multiple families since I was an adolescent and have volunteered at the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County, working with both cats and dogs. In March 2017, I found and rescued two very sweet dogs from the streets of Memphis. I taught them basic manners, helped them overcome their fear of cars, and showed them lots of love. It was a very rewarding experience and has given me the confidence to work with a wide variety of animals. I work in office M - F 7:45am-4:30pm. I am currently only accepting pets that can be left alone during that time period without incident. I am extremely cautious to avoid situations in which a pet could escape or become injured in my care. I trust pet parents to disclose information pertinent to their pets’ care and safety.
“Allison did a fantastic job taking care of my Cat when I was called away for a last minute trip. I was very nervous since this was my first time using a sitter but Allison made us very comfortable while we were away. Highly recommend her for any pets that need some love while your away”
“Kate did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties. She was easy to communicate with, arrived on time and followed the instructions that I provided. I have marked her as one of my favorites in Rover.”
“Katie took wonderful care of our two dogs, making sure they had ample breaks during the day, sticking to their schedule and going above and beyond to make sure the pups were comfortable while we were gone. A+ all around, thank you Katie!!!”
“Alicia was great with my shy and anxious pup. She also agreed to check in on him last minute. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pups and will be using her services again. Thanks so much!”
About: I have years of dog care experience and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand dogs’ needs and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special routines. I love giving dogs attention, exercise, and plenty of cuddles, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two dogs. I’m used to making time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m flexible with my schedule and happy to work around each pet’s individual routine, ensuring they receive consistent, reliable care and plenty of love while you’re away. In my home, pets get lots of love, attention, and a safe space to relax. I keep up with their feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and make sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment. Whether it’s walks, litter box cleaning, or cuddle time, I treat every pet like my own.
“Brad was very responsive to a last minute request to let my dogs out when I couldn’t get back home in time to feed them. He fed them and let them out and hung out with them for awhile.”
About: I’ve watched both family pets, and the pets of others for about 5 years, and I’ve been able to successfully provide efficient care. I live with my grandparents, who also have a dog that I help take care of on a daily basis. I’m currently open to all times of the day and most days of the week! I would be more than happy to watch your animals on the weekday as well as the weekend. I care for pets by keeping surveillance over them as much as possible, as well as making sure they are in a safe and clean environment.
About: I have always been passionate about animal care, specifically dogs. I have 3.5 years of veterinary technician experience and have also worked at boarding facilities such as Pet Paradise. I am a student at Saint Louis University majoring in Biology, furthering my education in animal behavior. I enjoy jogging in my spare time, and have the stamina needed to play with or jog with pets. I am available on weekends during the day and most evenings. There’s nothing I love more than taking care of pets! I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I am a current graduate student, and therefore am working several hours a day during the week, but I am available most nights and on the weekends anytime! I am a helicopter parent when it comes to my own dog, and treat other pets with the same level of care and caution. I love sending pictures (if allowed) to ensure great care, and frequently keeps owners updated on how their fur babies are doing.
“Stephanie has done drop-in visits multiple times for our two pups and we would highly recommend her. She keeps us updated with each visit and takes wonderful care of our dogs. So thankful we’ve found her!”
“Bennett was so great with our two "high energy", playful, cuddly cats! It was clear how much he genuinely enjoyed spending time with them as if they were his own. Was so happy to have found him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. Recently I have started dog sitting for family friends and decided to join on here to offer my services. I’m currently working full time from 7am-3:30pm in office 5 days a week M-F. Within my work hours, I’m not available to do visits. Outside of these hours, any dog I care for will have my undivided time and attention. I take care of the pet I’m watching over by taking them on walks, play with them, and making sure they are well fed. I like to make sure they are well accounted for and treat them as my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sappington
Claire was wonderful! She was very communicative, flexible, and took great care of Bruno while I was out of town. Bruno takes several medications and occasionally has seizures, so it can be stressful leaving him, but Claire made me feel completely at ease and gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again! 🥰🐶
Kelly did an amazing job! Our pups were completely comfortable with her and received wonderful care. She provided updates for every single visit, and the pups looked incredibly happy in all of her photos. Even with our last-minute request, she jumped right in and reassured us that they would be well looked after. Thank you so much!
This was my first time using Rover to have someone check on my dogs. I was a bit nervous of how it would go since my dogs get scared easily of new people, but Karen was very patient and attentive with them and overall did a fantastic job! She provided updates during each of the check ins and bonded with the dogs as the days went by. I would 100% recommend Karen as a dog sitter and if I need someone to watch my dogs again using Rover, Karen would be my first choice!
Anne was absolutely wonderful with our four month old puppy. He loves meeting new people, but is still very energetic (and teething). She was very patient with him and added in lots of playtime to tire him out. We will be highly recommending her to friends and family in the area!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Christi on Rover! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such caring and capable hands. Christi went above and beyond by sending daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she treated our dogs with genuine kindness and affection, making sure they were not only well cared for, but also loved. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does, and that made all the difference for us. We’re incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate to look after their pets!

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 Sappington 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 .

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 .
