“A big thank you to Brittnye and her husband for taking care of my cat while I was away for two weeks. She took care of my cat as if he was her own. Even went to my apartment on an unscheduled day because I thought I forgot to close one of my doors. This petsitter will go above and beyond for you and your beloved pet. Can’t go wrong with Brittnye!”
“Svenja was excellent yet again watching our pups (and cat) while we were away for work for a few days. We received frequent photos and updates from Svenja on how things were going with the animals while we were away. It was so lovely to come home to a clean house and happy pets! So glad we found her!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether that means keeping up with a playful puppy’s energy or giving extra patience and comfort to a senior pet who needs a slower pace. I have experience with pets of all ages, including young animals who are still learning routines like potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I stay consistent with whatever training methods you’re using so your pet doesn’t get confused while you’re away. For senior pets, I understand the importance of gentle care, medication routines, and watching closely for any changes in behavior or comfort. I’m attentive, calm, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their own environment. I’m also big on communication—I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love, I’m here to provide reliable, personalized care every time. I would love to spend my free time with any and all the pets. My off days at work would be perfect for this job! Any pet brought to my home will be treated as well as they deserve to be treated, and same when and if I was to come to anyone’s home! Respect is my biggest manor!
“Christina has been with Salt the last week and we will keeping her around for months to come! She is very trustworthy and reliable. It truly relieves my husband and I that Salt can get out during the day. Definitely a worthy investment!”
About: I have been caring for my daughter's dog for 10 years including have several dogs of my own throughout the years. I love animals greatly. I work part time and it would be easy for me to adapt my schedule. I am interested in doing this full time. I currently work in the afternoon and evening. I have a large fenced yard and four extra crates available for use. I also have a designated room for guest pups. I will be available to check on them frequently.
About: I have been around all types of pets my whole life. Dogs, cats, birds,even horses. I worked at an animal hospital for 2 years in Georgia and learned about handling, as well as giving medications and some grooming. I am a full time teacher at a local elementary school. I have weekends and most holidays off. I am off work and home by 4:15 during the week and around all the time on weekends except for the quick outing for dinner or the grocery store. Your pet is my priority. If you need me to stay with them overnight I will, if your pet needs meds or shots given I will do that too. I will try to keep your pet on the same schedule you have for them. Feeding as you do and water available at all times. Exercise is important just like snuggle times!
“Once again Chelsea took excellent care of our aged Ms Kitty, sending pictures every day. Ms Kitty doesn't move easily but Chelsea always finds her and gives her attention.”
“Brenna is an excellent and professional sitter! We were very comfortable leaving the country for three weeks knowing she would provide daily care for our cat. Her daily reports and photos are detailed and show how much she cares about the animals for whom she is providing care. Would recommend her 100%!”
“Melissa was such a wonderful help to us as we went out of town! She loved on our Nate-Dogg and he was very well taken care of. We will definitely call on her again.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Biological Sciences with a Pre-Veterinary Medicine Concentration. I also graduated from Tennessee College of Applied Technology as an Assistant Animal Laboratory Technician. With that being, said I have a vast amount of experience on how to care for animals. I am currently working part time, so I have a flexible availability when it comes to caring for your pet(s). Monday-Thursday I am available after 3pm, and Friday-Sunday I have full availability. I usually would let the animal get used to my scent and me being in their space, and then I would care for the dog by feeding them, and taking them to go potty. Then, I would play with them to ensure that they do not get bored and not have separation anxiety.
About: I’ve had animals all my life and have been caring for dogs and horses for the past 6 years. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working toward a career in veterinary medicine, so caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy it’s my passion. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from college and working a part-time job, so pet sitting is a great way for me to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy caring for animals. My work schedule is Thursday through Saturday, and I’m available after I get off work on those days. I’m also available on my days off and will do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I believe in keeping pet parents updated and making sure every pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore, as well as three friendly small dogs who are well-socialized and can provide companionship if your pet enjoys being around other dogs. For drop-in visits, I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll always respect your home, carefully follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and provide the attention, patience, and care they deserve.
“Chelsea was absolutely phenomenal in caring for my kitten. As someone new to using Rove and very protective of my kitten I wanted to ensure I found the right person, and Chelsea exceeded all expectations. She was incredibly attentive to every instruction and truly treated my kitten as if it were her own, which is what stood out most to me. What really impressed me was her dedication and level of care. She didn’t just see my kitten as another booking and she genuinely cared and sent many updates. When a medical issue came up, Chelsea went above and beyond by promptly informing me, handling the situation, and administering medication. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing my kitten was in such capable hands. I would highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Bailey was phenomenal with our pups! She kept us informed and was always on time. She gave a ton of extra effort to our pups while we were away!”
About: I've had dogs and cat my entire life and loved every single one. I am experienced, loving, firm, and capable. I consider your pets as members of your family who deserve love, care, and structure when you must be away. I currently have a German Shepherd dog, Gustav,d that is my service dog and I trained him with licensed SD trainers. I also have a Belgian Malinois rescue, Mata Hari, who is beginning SD training as well. My cat, Spider Monkey, is a Manx and she rules our house. You can completely trust me to take care of all your pets and their needs when you need help. I currently work as a server/bartender some days and evenings. I will structure my schedule to spend as much time with your pets as possible. I can care for select dogs in my home using a crate for indoor safety, when needed, and keeping them leashed when outdoors. I have two dogs that love playing with other dogs.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Southaven stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
