It is easy to tell Merry and her family are experienced dog owners who love to dote on and care for all dogs as best as possible. Definitely recommend!”
“Brett and Stephanie are the absolute best! From the moment we dropped off Pawtato, I felt super relaxed knowing he’s in the best hands. They’re both super friendly and clearly adore dogs. They made sure Pawtato had a blast playing and having fun! 😍 They kept me posted with cute photos and little messages, which was such a lovely gesture. It was clear that Pawtato was having the time of his life and was treated like a cherished member of the family. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and just as spoiled as ever. We are so grateful for the care and attention they gave Pawtato! We will definitely be booking them again and highly recommend them if you’re looking for a sitter who will treat your dog like their own! Thanks a bunch! 🐾”

“Melissa is wonderful! Used her for a second time and will continue to use her. She is very caring and loves animals! She always send pictures and updates! Highly recommend!!”
“I cannot recommend booking with Mickale enough!!! My sweet cat just recently went through a tail amputation procedure and Mickale took excellent care of her while I was gone. While I was away, my cat’s tail wounds reopened and she had to be taken to the emergency animal center to get them stitched back up. Not only did Mickale pick my cat up from the emergency center early in the morning and drop her off all the way across town at a pet boarding hospital, but she was incredible at communicating with me about what was happening throughout the entire time she was caring for my cat and she went so above and beyond with caring for my sweet kitty. Please book Mickale for any pet sitting needs you might have, she is absolutely amazing!!!”
About: I’ve owned cats for the past 3 years and have had animals all my life. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I’ll care for your cat as if they were one of my own, providing reliable and loving care every visit.

When I met her the day I dropped them off I knew I had chosen the perfect sitter!!💜”

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: Both of us grew up with cats and have had cats as adults. We’ve had our cat Beatrice since 2012 and consider her to be an important part of our family. We’ve cared for several other cats as well.
“Kiara did a really great job. She sent frequent updates on how my cat was doing, when she was going to be at my house/when she was leaving. I really appreciated all of the pictures as well :)”
About: I've been caring for cats for as long as I can remember. In my teen years, my family rescued and cared for a total of ten cats at once. Growing up in a home with up to ten cats at once taught me how to handle every type of feline personality - from cuddly lap cats to those who prefer their personal space. I have experience with Cats who are fearful, apprehensive, or slow to warm up. I can maintain the litter box, play, administer oral meds, give injections, and support anxious or reactive cats. If your cat has quirks, medical needs, or a big personality, I'm the sitter who won't be intimidated.

“Derek is very communicative and attentive. He has a great introduction and integration system for his new dogs. It allows them to take their time acclimating to the new environment and only meet the other dogs once they’re calm and ready. Derek responds promptly and sends pictures throughout the stay. We felt confident leaving Cadbury with him and will do so again. He returned home calm, happy, and satisfied.”
“Kelly was very communicative during the scheduling the meet and greet. Her other dogs were quite excited to meet my pup, and while they startled me, my pup didn’t seem to be too scared. Kelly made sure to keep the dogs separate with strong gates and an organized system for rotating backyard bathroom breaks. I highly recommend Kelly for boarding and sitting.”
About: I’ve taken care of both doggos and cats since I was 13. My family used to rescue dogs and rehome them, so I have experience with a wide range of breeds from Great Danes to Yorkies to all kinds of kitties as well as a range of ages from newborns to seniors. I can bottle feed and administer medicine if needed. I just love being around animals, so I can assure you that your babies will receive the best treatment imaginable with me. All the love you would normally give them will be felt with my care :) I work from home full time and have the flexibility to step away from my computer whenever I need to. This means I am able to provide constant supervision and care to your fur babies. I care for at most one doggo or cat at a time so I can ensure your fur baby is safe and being cared for properly. I have lots of fenced land to play and walk them while they are here. For non-boarding services, you can trust that I will care for your babies as if they were receiving the care directly from you. I am willing to travel to your home to check on your babies, play with them, and take care of their needs.
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.
“Brett and Stephanie took wonderful care of our 6 month old pup! We chose daycare as we had a busy day ahead of us and did not want to crate our pup all day. Safe to say she had a great time, and Brett + Stephanie kept us updated with pics throughout the day! We highly recommend them.”
“Kissie took great care of our nervous dog, We were passing through town for a few days and needed someone to watch her so we could sightsee. I saw other reviews that said Kissie was good with anxious pets. Kiddie was very responsive and send lots of pictures and video! Plus she’s conveniently located near downtown.”
“Tara is wonderful with my dog, Macey, who spends her weekdays with her while I’m at work. She comes home everyday happy and healthy, and I couldn’t imagined leaving her with anyone else. Tara has a true love for all fur babies and I highly recommend 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!

“Alison was so sweet to my baby, Harley! She accommodated us last minute and couldn’t have been more helpful! She updated me throughout the day and even sent pictures! I would most definitely recommend Alison and use her again!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have always been around animals, especially dogs. I’ve helped care for them for as long as I can remember, and now I have two dogs of my own, a Yorkie and a Pomsky. I know that every dog is different, so I’m happy to stick to whatever routine they’re used to, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I also have a very flexible schedule right now, so I’m pretty available throughout the day and not just before or after normal work hours. I also don’t try to squeeze a lot of visits into one day, so I can give your pup plenty of attention and take my time with them. I’m big on sending pictures and updates too because I know I’d want the same if someone was watching my babies. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pup feels comfortable, cared for, and gets lots of attention while you’re away ❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare on most weekdays and weekends. I will always do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow their routine as closely as possible. Whether I'm stopping by for a drop-in visit, taking your dog for a walk, or caring for them during daycare, I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), playtime, potty breaks, and any special requests. I always provide plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If your dog joins me for daycare, all interactions are carefully supervised, and I can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable.
“Timorie was amazing to work with! She was flexible with timing of drop-off & pick-up, which was very helpful for my schedule. She sent regular updates & it was nice seeing Bronte looking so happy. Most importantly, my dog was so comfortable with Timorie from the start. Her ‘crew’ of dogs (and cat!) at home were excited to meet Bronte, & although they were very interested in her, they did not overwhelm her. Overall, a wonderful experience. If you are ever in the area, I would highly recommend using Timorie if she’s available! ❤️”

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 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.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had pets since I was a toddler. I currently have three cats of my own who definitely run the house, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and quirky behaviors. I also regularly help care for my mom’s dog, Petey, so I stay very familiar with day to day dog care like walks, feeding, attention, and reading different dog personalities. In the past, I’ve also had dogs of my own, including a beloved senior dog who lived to an old age. Caring for her taught me a lot about patience, routine, and understanding the needs of older pets. I truly enjoy caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all personalities. From friendly and playful to shy or more “spicy.” I’m calm, patient, and always take the time to let pets warm up at their own pace. I also have experience administering medications, including ear washes and oral medications, so I’m comfortable helping with basic care routines if needed. For dogs, I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping their routine consistent. For cats, I understand the importance of trust, space, and gentle, low-stress care. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾❤️ As a stay at home mom of one child, I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to provide consistent and reliable pet care throughout the week, into the weekend. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily routine since I already manage a household and care for pets of my own. I’m organized, dependable, and make sure each visit is given my full attention and care. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I respect all instructions carefully and make sure pets stay in their normal environment with as little stress as possible. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines as requested. I take my time to be sure pets feel comfortable with me, especially shy or anxious pets, and I never rush interactions. I also keep a close eye on doors, gates, and safety concerns to ensure pets remain secure at all times. My goal is to provide reliable, calm care and give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

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.

About: We are a married couple in our 40s interested in house/pet-sitting together. We have pet-sat for a few NC and TN families for the past several years, and both of us had pet-sat before we met as well. Zachary works from home and so will be around the house much of the day if dogs need a mid-day walk or meal. Denny wakes up early and can feed and walk dogs in the early morning. Between us, we have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, rodents, rabbits, livestock, reptiles, and amphibians. We are willing to work with other animals as well. We prefer to sleep at the pet-owner's home when needed, as this means that we’re around and available for the pets at various times throughout the day. Denny also does drop-in care and dog-walking. Zachary has experience training dogs and volunteering with cats as well. Looking forward to meeting you! Zachary has a flexible work schedule and works from home. Denny is available to care for pets in the mornings, sometimes late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We both enjoy walking and hiking and would love to take your dogs for walks. We don’t bring pets into our home but prefer overnight care in the pets’ home and are also open to drop-in care and walks. We are both very gentle with dogs and cats and enjoy lots of cuddles with pets, and we also make sure to take them for walks if desired.
About: Back in 2014, I attended Tennessee College of Applied Technology, graduated early with my diploma in Assistance Animal Laboratory Technicians, also with a certification in Purina Mills Animal Care Course. I have done an internship with North Shelby Animal Shelter as well as Bartlett Animal Shelte, where I took stray dogs/ abandoned out for walks and to play. Most of the dogs I encountered with at the shelter were sweet and loving dogs that just need a friend and time to spend with a person. I treated those dogs as my own. I have also intern at University of Tennessee Health and Science Center taking care of rodents, pigs, and other animals. I am someone who is mature, candid and who has integrity. Everyday I work to improve myself and my skills which is part of maturing and becoming better at what I do, this is why I want clients to choose me. I will treat your pets as my own pets. I will love and care for them, as if they where my own.
About: I'm highly skilled at reading animal body language. I have experience with anxious, temperamental, excitable, shy, and senior pets. I've cared for cats since a young age and have more recent hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm comfortable supporting both energetic younger pets and older pets who require a softer approach. I am able to handle animals gently, give oral/injection medications, routine care, play, and feeding. I am currently work part-time Monday through Wednesday from 10:00am-6:00pm. On Thursdays and Fridays, I'm fully available during the day and usually make plans around 6:00pm, but I'm always happy to stop by before or after. I'm completely available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for visits, drop-ins, or extended care. I always make sure I'm aware of any pet allergies, medical needs, and medications that must be given. If a medication has to be administered at a specific time, I will adjust my schedule to ensure your pet's safety and consistency. I take care to keep toxic plants, foods, and loose wires out of reach, and I maintain clean litter boxes and bowls throughout my visits. If certain pets cannot share a space, I will follow your instructions closely to keep everyone safe and comfortable. In case of emergencies, I have a reliable vehicle that pets can safely ride in if transportation is needed.
About: I've had pets all of my life. I love all animals especially dogs. I currently have a toy poodle named jewels . Jewels is actually my sister's dog but she was born on my birthday and we've been inseparable since the first day I laid eyes on her. The love of a pet is unconditional and that's one of the characteristics i love most about dogs. They can sense danger and they can also sense when they are in good hands. Im a 35 year old stay at home mom (to a 2 year old daughter) that loves animals and wants your fur baby to be shown as much love as I would show my own. Hopefully I can help someone whose feeling the guilt of working long hours and not being able to walk or spend as much time as they would like with their pet. Ive been there before so I can definently relate. Sometimes things come up and it has happened to all of us. Hopefully I can help by being that piece of mind for you to know that your pet is not lonely and is in excellent care. My daughter goes to daycare during the week so im pretty flexible 7 days a week. Im ok with schedules but I also understand that things happen. Some situations are unplanned and last minute and that's ok with me as well. Communication is everything. I live in a community that loves dogs and im sure your fur baby will love visiting here. I am a homeowner and I have a big gated backyard as well as a park with a walking trail that I visit frequently on a weekly basis.

“Megan is always there when I need her too. Reese’s loves going to her house and playing. She gives daily updates as well. I was nervous when he first went because he had never been away from home, but he has been back two times after that! He always comes back tired from having so much fun.”

We have upcoming trips and were already planning to rebook with Mary! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and reliable.”

From the start, he was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive to their needs. He went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and at home, and it was clear they absolutely loved him! Will kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell he genuinely cares about the animals he watches. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust, and we’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
