“Brittnye recently sat for our cat for four days, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She made sure our cat was well-fed and received his medication on schedule, which gave us great peace of mind. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she was reliable, affectionate, and clearly cared deeply for our pet. We truly appreciated the updates and the genuine attention she gave our cat. We look forward to booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
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.

“My 2 dogs love Todd and Gail! It almost feels like the dogs are looking for Todd & Gail when I first get home. My little kitty just hides when they come over. She is not a fan of people she doesn't see a lot. I will use Todd and Gail every time I go out of town!”
“Bailey took great care of our cats and dog while away. We have a large Rottie that can be a bit intimidating but she handled him with ease. Her attention was much appreciated.”

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!
“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 am an experienced, compassionate pet parent with a deep understanding of animal behavior and medical care. I am a 5 star reviewed sitter on the trusted housesitters platform. I have extensive experience in managing pet medications, for senior rescue dogs, handling high energy puppies and caring for senior rescue dogs. Whether your pet needs calm, quiet companionship, careful medication administration, or high energy play sessions, I adapt perfectly to their routine to keep them happy, safe, and loved. I am currently working full-time but am flexible with hours being that I don’t have a specific work schedule. Some days I work morning shift then some days evenings I have breaks. I am open to whatever we can make work especially on my days off. I am the primary caregiver for all of the pets in the home I currently reside in. However I do have help when needed as one of the cats isn’t mine. Usually I am the one giving them breakfast and dinner, changing litter when needed and keeping an eye on them. Previously in the past I would also set a routine for pets and follow it very closely.
“Hannah was great in taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She made everything simple and eased any worries we had about leaving our cats for two weeks. She's awesome and so sweet!”
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’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.
“Nadia did a great job winning my babies over and making them feel comfortable. My puppy is weary of all strangers but she warmed up to Nadia swiftly and was wagging her tail and excited when she came to let them out the next day.”
“Chelsea was amazing as always! It’s always a pleasure having her watch my cat who absolutely loves being around Chelsea. She took such great care of her, and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”
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 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.

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.
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 .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
