About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality! Before pursuing Occupational Therapy, I completed coursework on a pre-veterinary track, giving me additional knowledge of animal care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies to senior companions. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, going for a run, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their routine. I’ll always treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I recently graduated with my Master’s in Occupational Therapy and am currently studying for my board exam, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.

About: I’m a kind hearted soul, always looking for ways to keep a pup happy. I pay attention to detail and I’m very familiar with taking care of dogs, especially ones that like to have fun. Back home, I have a 5 year old golden doodle that I’ve had since a puppy. I worked with her to potty train, and with basic training as well. I’m currently at home most of the day. I have full availability right now, and flexible availability during the weekends. Please reach out. Thank you! I am one of the sole caretakers of my dog at home. I take her out for potty breakers, feed her, and play with her.
About: Growing up, I have always had pets. We have had both dogs and cats that I had to care for since a young age. As I’ve gotten older, I have been watching friends’ pets when they go out of town. In 2019, I made a Facebook post about my dog sitting that caught many people’s attention. I had many responses that led to lots of pet sitting that summer. Every summer since 2019, my schedule has been completely booked up with pet sitting in my area. I have experience with small dogs, big dogs, puppies, older dogs, and cats. I have experience giving both oral and injectable medications. I have spent time volunteering at the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County, Southern Pines Animal Shelter, and the West Memphis Animal Shelter. I am very comfortable being around both dogs and cats, understanding their body language, and caring for them. I am a social work graduate student in the North MS area. I have an internship 3 days a week and class 2 nights per week. My best availability is Friday-Monday, because I don’t have class or internship on those days. I am unable to bring pets into my home because I have 2 roommates with 4 cats. However, I would love to care for your animals in your home! If your home is accommodating to your pets, then it should be no problem. I also have a car that I can put dogs in to take them to a dog park or to a walking trail.
About: I have been a dog mom to my fur baby since March 2020. Vader, my dog, was adopted from he shelter and did not have much home training and my husband and I trained him to be the well behaved dog he is now. Friends of mine have relied on me in the past to let their dogs out and feed them while being busy with other obligations. I grew up around dogs and cats and love them. During the week I work long days. 7am-4pm. I am an active duty soldier but majority of weekends I am completely free to pet sit, board, or walk/ feed fur babies. I am also avialable on the weekdays at night ( after 5pm) and super early in the morning ( before 6:30 am) to feed/ walk. I live in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with my 3 yr old dog. There is a dog park on the property of my apartment complex with plenty of area to roam and play. I can crate your dogs at night or during the daytime if that is something you prefer or they need in order to feel comfortable. My dog is sweet and friendly and would be a perfect playmate during your pet's stay. I am a dual military spouse and my husband is away for military training for the next couple months so as I am taken good care of your fur baby they will be keeping me company as well!! Look forward to loving and caring for your fur babies as if they were my own!!!
“Our dog has a serious autoimmune disease that requires daily medications so we really needed someone responsible and reliable to take care of him. He also has a lot of anxiety around new people, but Jenny accommodated to our needs and took the time to help us all feel comfortable. She took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town. We will be requesting for her to care for our dog in the future! I would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Sadie was great! She was very quick to respond, and she made us feel very comfortable. She volunteered to come over to our house prior to our trip to meet our cats. She was very attentive, and she kept us regularly updated while we were away. I will definitely look to book Sadie in the future.”
“McKenzie was fantastic! She took great care of my pets, kept me updated, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
About: As a long time pet owner, I have first hand experience with caring for different animals. From puppies to cats to dogs, I am fully equipped to not only safely supervise pets, but to also play and engage with them for a fun and loving experience. I have been the mama to the sweetest stray male tabby for the past year so I have tons of experience with cats and kittens too! As a previous owner of a disabled doggo, I have developed patience and determination when it comes to caring for pets. For example, I am unlike many other owners in that I am understanding when it comes to dogs who are in the process of being house trained. I won’t reprimand the animal in a harmful or scary way. Instead. I will guide them toward better potty training practices. I am also a very patient dog walker, some pets take longer outside or simply want to explore an area. Pets have a natural curiosity and they should be able to act on that curiosity! I care for pets as if they were all my own. It is very important for owners to trust their animal caretakers. I can assure that owners can trust that I will care for their pets with love and kindness. Thank you for choosing me to be your rover caretaker! I work remotely so I am free during the day for play time, potty breaks, and mid-day cuddles. I also have tons of cat toys and welcome dogs owners to bring interactive toys for the pups. I have a semi fenced in huge backyard and designated play areas equipped with interactive toys, treats, and more. I also have a very sweet and gentle 1 year old cat to be the perfect playmate
About: I've always grown up with at least one, if not more dogs in my household. I have pet sit for up to 6 large dogs as well as a cat in one household for an extended period of time. I grew up around all types of animals as well and have had cats, dogs, a rabbit, reptiles, a parrot, fish, and probably more that I can't think of as I write this! I've adopted senior cats that require daily medication and dealt with nursing kittens as well. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday 8-5. When I'm taking care of your pets, I treat them as my own. On weekends, I'm normally at home and will spend that time taking care of your pets and loving on them. With working full time, I adapt easily to make sure my pet care is unmatched and make sure their needs are tended to. I am a guest being invited into your home. I will treat you, your home, and your pets with the dignity and respect deserved. You will come home to a clean house & happy pets!
About: I have been a dog owner all of my life, I have sincere passion for all animals and love to take care of them. I stay at home and can give your dog lots of love, care, and attention. I take them on dog walks and will definitely pamper them as much as you would. I would like to set up a meet and greet before the stay, this is to ensure safety for your pet as well as for my family. I’m currently not working and I am at home all the time except for small errands I sometimes run a couple of times during the week. I have been a stay at home mom for over 20 years, and now that my kids are grown, Its time to watch over other peoples pets. I usually only keep 3-4 dogs at a time, so they get the full attention they need! I have a large fenced yard for them to stretch there legs and run. Or, if they want to take a nap, dogs are perfectly fine on my couch at any time. I can keep them in kennels at night, or they are welcome to sleep under my bed. I can also separate dogs too, if needed.
About: I’ve had both cats and dog my entire life. I’m completely comfortable with administering medication (pills, liquids, injections etc) and have cared for many senior and special needs pets (of all shapes and sizes) for over 10 years, some of which have been my own. I work full time in office, so evening or weekend availability would work best for me! If you need early morning accommodations, I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet gets the best care. Because my own pets have anxiety, I will not be able to bring your babies into my home. I am more than happy to drop in and visit with them in the comfort of their own space though! From administering meds to letting them out to potty, scoopong their boxes, and giving them attention while you’re gone, I’ve got you covered.
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.

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 Southaven 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.

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 .
