“Baylee and Coal had a great time with Savannah. She allowed them to come visit prior to their stay and handled their nervousness without batting an eye.

I would certainly recommend Mike to any friend or family member and my dog was way less stressed than being kennel boarded.”

“Shoshana (and her family) was the perfect sitter for my senior dog. She provided plenty of updates and was amazing with keeping my dog happy while I was away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a lifelong dog owner, I’ve cared for both energetic pups and senior dogs who required extra patience, compassion, and attentive care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a bartender, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable care for your pets. Whether your dog is staying overnight, coming for daycare, or just needs a walk or drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and love. I live in the Raleigh, Memphis area, making it convenient for local families. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and any special scheduling needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, smoke-free, calm, and pet-friendly, with a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. I also live near several parks and walking trails, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. I have a friendly, social cat who gets along well with other animals and can be comfortably kept anway and completely separated if needed. I also have a sweet, laid-back, crate-trained 7-year-old Chihuahua who enjoys playing with visiting dogs of all sizes and has a gentle temperament. With over 13 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs and those with disabilities, anxiety, and special needs, I understand that every pet is unique. My professional background as a therapist has strengthened my patience, observation skills, and ability to remain calm and attentive, helping me recognize changes in behavior and provide compassionate, individualized care. I’m comfortable administering medications, providing baths and light grooming if requested, and carefully following your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. Pets are welcome on the furniture, and you’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own.
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.

I would definitely recommend Gage when booking on Rover. He took great care of our pup and she looked to have had a blast with him! We will definitely use his services again!

About: I have extensive experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I currently have four indoor cats and five outdoor cats, and I’ve cared for everyone from playful kittens to elderly cats with complex needs. I understand that every cat is different, and I’m comfortable with shy, independent, anxious, playful, or extra-affectionate personalities. I always take things at the cat’s pace and respect their boundaries, giving them the time and space they need to feel comfortable. I truly believe in earning a cat’s trust rather than forcing it—and I’ve never met a cat that didn’t eventually decide I was their furriend!

“Jenna was terrific! I had not traveled since moving I was nervous about leaving my cats overnight. I had zero concerns while I was away visiting my daughter for a week. Jenna was super sweet, and kept me updated with pictures every visit. I will definitely have her watch my pets again!!”

“I would 100% recommend Kissie to anyone looking for a petsitter! My cat Alfred is a pretty needy boy, he wants constant attention so I always feel stressed leaving him alone for more than the usual workday. I boarded him with Kissie and was actually able to enjoy a vacation away without any stress. She sent frequent updates/pictures so I knew that he was ok. Kissie is friendly, prompt, and so caring. She is all that I could’ve hoped for to look after my cat.”

“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 :)”

“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! ❤️”

I’m so thankful for their services and would definitely use them again if I was in the are. I highly recommend Adel!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I currently have nine cats, both indoor and outdoor, and have raised Old English Bulldogs and German Shepherds. I grew up around larger animals as well, including horses and cattle, so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m also familiar with veterinary medicine and animal health, and I’m fortunate to have a certified veterinarian in my family who has given me additional insight into quality animal care. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m committed to providing them with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own animals. I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends, so pet care can easily fit into my routine. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, or other in-home care. I can most likely accommodate the schedule that works best for you and your pets! I’m happy to provide drop-in visits to give your pets some mid-day attention, companionship, and relief while you’re away. I’m comfortable walking your pets, feeding them according to your specific instructions, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and administering medications when provided with clear instructions. Every pet and household is different, so if you have a particular routine or request, please feel free to ask. I will most likely be able to accommodate it! I do not provide overnight stays, and I do not board other pets in my home because I have cats of my own.

About: I started walking & sitting dogs around my neighborhood when I was 14/15 years old. For about 2 years after, I frequently volunteered at the Humane Society, socializing the cats & walking dogs. I adore animals so much and have been trusted to care for many different kinds of pets in the past. Big, small, elderly, sick, or straight-up wild! Doing daily drop-ins or housesitting is most preferable because of my work schedule. I am always available overnight, but my available times change during the daytime hours. If it is a longer stay, I just need to know a little bit more ahead of time. I am the general manager at a coffee shop, so I do make my own schedule :) While dog-walking, I promise to keep my full attention on your pup at all times. I have experience walking larger breeds because of past jobs, as well as walking my own 120 lb. Doberman mix for years before he passed. While sitting or doing drop-in visits, I will promise to follow your exact instructions. I am clean, caring, and compassionate with everything I do. **I have taken care of large breed dogs, senior pets, disabled pets, pets with special needs, pets with daily medication, and pets with behavioral issues. Just let me know any important information beforehand! Though I currently have a full-time job, I have plenty of free time before/after work that I would love to spend with your animals :) I make my own schedule! Always available overnight. I cannot currently provide boarding in my own home, but I intend to fully respect anyone’s home I enter. Any instructions left will be followed to a T. Your personal belongings will never be touched, and communication is always my top priority.
About: I have cared for large breed dogs for my entire life, and I’ve worked in animal care for 5 years. I am experienced in administering medications and understanding animal behavior from my work in animal shelters. I currently work at a veterinary clinic! I am off on every other weekend, and have a day off during the week. During every work day I am available to check in on your pets on my lunch break, and I get off early in the evening so I have plenty of afternoon time to spend with them! I am new to Rover, but have been pet sitting for many reoccurring clients for about 3 years now. I currently have four cats of my own, and I am a neonatal kitten foster and have bottle babies on and off. As such, I am adept at handling fragile cats with special needs. I am very experienced in administering medications of all types to both cats and dogs, including injections, oral, topical, etc.
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.

I know how important it is for pets to stay comfortable in their own home, so I focus on keeping their routines consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I’m both playful and patient, and I adapt to each animal’s personality — whether that means energetic playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their normal routine. My two goals when caring for your pets are simple: 🐾 Make your pet feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away 📱 Give you total peace of mind with regular updates, photos, and communication You’ll always know how your pet is doing — and you might even get a video of me singing to them if they seem like they’d enjoy it. I have an extrememly flexible schedule, and i am 100% dependable. I am understanding about schedules changing or long work days without notice, and am more than happy for last minute drop in's or walks/feedings. Preferably at least a 1 hour notice, or if we live close by that would be an exception. I am very easy to work with! I care for the pets as instructed, whether it be in your backyard or on a walk or home snuggles/feeding. If your pets are fans of ridiculous humans singing to them, then I am the one for you.

“Abby is great! She took very good care of our dog, Aslan. She sent us pictures every day, which made us very happy. Abby really loves animals, and we could see it. We are very happy with how she cared for Aslan. Highly recommended!”

“Madelyn was the first person I’ve ever had watch my dog that wasn’t family and she was simply amazing. She sent numerous pictures and updates & listened to my many concerns lol. I could tell my dog was in good hands and that she truly adored him. She was also quick with responses and was able to adapt to the schedule he needed. Will definitely be boarding Remy with Madelyn again! 😊”

“Ms. Nina is a great sitter. She gave updates about my dog & was very flexible with pick up and drop off timing. I felt at ease with my dog at her home. Thank you so much!!!”

“Baylee and Coal had a great time with Savannah. She allowed them to come visit prior to their stay and handled their nervousness without batting an eye. Baylee is a rescue and takes time to warm up to people, Savannah sat and waited for Baylee to come to her. We will definitely be back for a stay when I need to travel again!”

“Derek helped me with my first-ever Rover usage/booking and my Rocky had a great time! Derek was really nice and understanding, and sent lots of pics and a video of my fur kid. This was the first time that I've been separated from Rocky, so that was greatly appreciated!”

“Mike took very good care of our dog when we needed to go out of the country. It was 8 nights. What I really appreciated was that he sent us photos of him every few days showing that he was content and getting along well. I would certainly recommend Mike to any friend or family member and my dog was way less stressed than being kennel boarded.”
“Dennis and his wife did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our pup. They went above and beyond and Juju had an absolutely lovely time. They were great at communicating and even helped accommodate two different schedule changes due to flights. Wonderful boarders I highly recommend.”

“Will was very communicative and responsive not only during the booking process, but while my babies were with him. He sent photos and a video. His home was easy to find and we were flexible with pickup. I will use him again. Thanks for caring for my boys!”

“Shoshana (and her family) was the perfect sitter for my senior dog. She provided plenty of updates and was amazing with keeping my dog happy while I was away. Her house setup is perfect for dogs, especially dogs that enjoy hanging out with other pups. I truly appreciate her care for Reagan while I was away and recommend her services for anyone else looking for a reliable sitter to provide loving care for their pets.”

“Cornelius is amazing! He made me feel so comfortable and consistently gave updates with a speedy response. My dog seemed very comfortable and was well taken care of. I will definitely book him again in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a lifelong dog owner, I’ve cared for both energetic pups and senior dogs who required extra patience, compassion, and attentive care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a bartender, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable care for your pets. Whether your dog is staying overnight, coming for daycare, or just needs a walk or drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and love. I live in the Raleigh, Memphis area, making it convenient for local families. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and any special scheduling needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, smoke-free, calm, and pet-friendly, with a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. I also live near several parks and walking trails, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. I have a friendly, social cat who gets along well with other animals and can be comfortably kept anway and completely separated if needed. I also have a sweet, laid-back, crate-trained 7-year-old Chihuahua who enjoys playing with visiting dogs of all sizes and has a gentle temperament. With over 13 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs and those with disabilities, anxiety, and special needs, I understand that every pet is unique. My professional background as a therapist has strengthened my patience, observation skills, and ability to remain calm and attentive, helping me recognize changes in behavior and provide compassionate, individualized care. I’m comfortable administering medications, providing baths and light grooming if requested, and carefully following your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. Pets are welcome on the furniture, and you’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own.

“Gage was amazing! This was our first time using Rover for our newest pup Sable while we were away. Gage helped to make the experience an ease with being very communicative sending updates daily with pictures/ videos of Sable which gave me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Gage when booking on Rover. He took great care of our pup and she looked to have had a blast with him! We will definitely use his services again! Thank you Gage for taking such great care of Sable!”

“Taylor and Kiersten are amazing! My baby loves going over and spending time with them. They have been so understanding when I've had to make last minutes changes.”

“Amanda was great! Super flexible with us on our pick up time when we had car issues coming back to town which we really appreciated. Will definitely book again!”


About: I have 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my family dog from puppyhood through his senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic bathing, maintaining a pet’s normal routine, and providing plenty of affection and supervision. As a biomedical PhD student, I’m responsible, observant, organized, and attentive to details. I provide owners with regular updates and photos, and I currently host only one small or medium dog at a time so each pet receives calm, individualized care. I’m a biomedical PhD student with a structured weekday schedule, and I primarily offer boarding on weekends when I can provide more consistent supervision and attention. During a stay, I plan feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks around each dog’s usual routine. On weekdays, dogs may need to be comfortable alone for up to 4–8 hours. I live in a clean, smoke-free apartment with no children or resident pets. I host only one small or medium dog at a time so I can provide individualized care in a calm environment. Dogs are taken outside on leash for all walks and potty breaks. I carefully follow feeding, medication, crate, and household instructions, keep unsafe items secured, and provide regular photo and message updates. A meet-and-greet is preferred before the first booking.
“Rashad was great! My cat Mao had a great time getting all the cuddles he could while I was away, and Rashad was super patient and accommodating when I had to extend Mao’s stay by a day and a half due to unforeseen travel complications. This was a great boarding experience and I would absolutely book again. 10/10”

“Sally had a good time at her first stay with Rebecca and Stephen. We received daily photos and/or videos and will use them again in the future.”

“Had the best experience for my first time using Rover! Could not have asked for a better match for me and my fur children. Melissa sent pics and videos to keep me updated which I appreciated. I do think my dogs are ready to go back and see her and her pups already!!! I will definitely be rebooking with them again soon!”

“Justin and his wife were absolutely fantastic with our three dogs. Easy communication, easy drop off, great experience, and they have a clean and welcoming home. Highly recommend.”
“We’re so happy we found Jenny! She took amazing care of our dog while we were out of town—super sweet, communicative, and accommodating. She sent regular updates that really put us at ease. Our pup also loved spending time with her two sweet, gentle boys—it was so heartwarming to see how quickly they bonded. We trust Jenny completely and will definitely be booking with her again!”
