“Davis was so accommodating. We made a very last minute request for boarding, due to a family emergency. He was so quick and kind about all the unknowns around our trip, and extended the stay without a problem. We got lots of pictures while we were away, and our dog looked so well-walked and loved that we genuinely wondered if she wouldn’t want to come home. We will definitely use him again. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Derek is hands down the best sitter for my Beagle - Herman who is not usually able to handle new circumstances ! Derek was awesome sent pictures. Kept me updated while I was away. I have used his service twice and for sure will use Derek in the future .”

“Gage was awesome! I typically use a much cheaper sitter but she wasn’t available but he was well worth the price! I got constant videos/pictures and updates and he actually spent time with dogs and kept her busy and exercising with his great backyard. It was like she was at a dog park for 4 days! Highly Recommend! Thanks again!”
“I’m a returning client, Mrs. Sharon takes amazing care of my fur baby. He is always so happy to see her. He wasn’t feeling well this last stay and she took such great care of him. She kept me updated and offered all the help to make him better. She kept me well updated, sent plenty of pictures, and took wonderful care of him! I highly recommend her for your fur baby’s care.”

“Wow!!!! Is all that I can say. My husband and I were hesitant at first about leaving our precious Jewel Sasha with just anyone. BUT we came across Todd & Gail T. All I can say is Professionalism at its best. The communication was great, the happiness on Sasha was evident of an Awesome experience. They are phenomenal. We are now at ease, knowing that we have found the perfect match. Words alone really can’t describe how we feel. Todd & Gail are truly God sent ❤️🌸❤️”

“Ruby was absolutely amazing! She was extremely attentive to our fur baby. We could tell from the pictures that our Princess was having a blast and was being well cared for.

“Melissa was amazing! I was out of the country and so nervous to leave my fur baby for so long, but Melissa made sure to give Harper lots of love and sent me updates on how she was doing while I was away! I felt completely comfortable with her watching Harper for me while I was away and would recommend Melissa to anyone! Melissa, Harper and I both say thanks!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and truly love animals of all ages and personalities. I’m especially patient, attentive, and affectionate, and I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and loved while they’re away. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, giving medications if needed, and helping shy or anxious animals feel calm and comfortable.
“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!”
“Kayla was great. She responded quickly to my messages and did everything we asked. She sent me pics of my babies, which helped me know they were ok and being taken care of. We will definitely book her again when we travel.”
“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.
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.
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.
“Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Bean, over the holidays! She was very responsive and courteous. When we came back from our trip, our apartment was just as we left it and our cat was very well cared for. We highly recommend Hannah!”
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.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for 8 years. I love pets and I am very reliable and trustworthy. I have been trusted to take care of animals and kids by multiple different families and I have references on hand if needed! I am currently working working a part time job, so I have plenty of time to play with the animals, feed them and let them out! I have a fenced in yard and one super sweet dog to keep your dog entertained! I have food and treats and even toys for your fur babies!

“I am so happy I found Tara! I have felt totally comfortable leaving my forever baby with her. He’s very temperamental and moody with so many people. But he seemed calm when I picked him up.

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.

“Dennis was wonderful keeping Henry while I had to go to the office. He took him on lots of walks and even bought him some treats since I forgot to take them. Henry came home tired and happy!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Kayla! She took amazing care of my 6.5-week-old Belgian Malinois puppy, going above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well cared for. She provided regular updates with pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treated my girl like her own. I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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'm an early bird so morning walks are always in; Sir Connor (Rest In Dog Paradise ) he was a shih tzu mixed. He was not neutered, because I wanted grand fur babies at the time. I have fostered over a dozen dogs and a handful of cats. Daisy May was an extra addition to the family while I was fostering a puppy I called Maxwell; Maxwell has been adopted by a caring couple! Daisy May is currently the only dog I have so far. Sitting Schedule: Breakfast is at 10:30. I'm reading on how to train dogs and so treats would be ideal for play time! Dinner is severed at 7:30 I feed twice a day. If I have your dog on the weekend, they get to go on a field trip to Overton Park or Mud Island Dog Park. They also get enrichment time with pet toys and snacks! I also groom on the weekend. I mostly had dogs as pets; I rescued a cat and named him Jeffery and he was adopted by a loving family. If you have more questions feel free to ask me! Thank You! I’m currently working part-time as a caregiver; I’m available after 12:00pm during the week; My weekends are flexible. I’ll be working full time once the school year starts! Daisy May is crate trained; I also have a foster puppy who has his own crate too. I have a doggie gate if separation is needed. My yards are not fenced; I stay on a slow traffic street.
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: 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: 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: 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.

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: 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: 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.
About: I work from home so I can give 100% of my attention! I’ve been pet sitting consistently for 3 years! I’m an active person that goes on daily walks! I work from home full time so I can give 100% of my attention. I have more availability on the weekend and can provide more attention and more walks! I live in a one bedroom apartment w/ ac. For the the most part it’s pretty quiet. I’m close to a dog park that they’ll enjoy!

“Derek is hands down the best sitter for my Beagle - Herman who is not usually able to handle new circumstances ! Derek was awesome sent pictures. Kept me updated while I was away. I have used his service twice and for sure will use Derek in the future .”
“Gage was awesome! I typically use a much cheaper sitter but she wasn’t available but he was well worth the price! I got constant videos/pictures and updates and he actually spent time with dogs and kept her busy and exercising with his great backyard. It was like she was at a dog park for 4 days! Highly Recommend! Thanks again!”
“I’m a returning client, Mrs. Sharon takes amazing care of my fur baby. He is always so happy to see her. He wasn’t feeling well this last stay and she took such great care of him. She kept me updated and offered all the help to make him better. She kept me well updated, sent plenty of pictures, and took wonderful care of him! I highly recommend her for your fur baby’s care.”
