Booked by 2 families in Atoka, TN

Hey ! I’m Sunshine and I am 19 years old. I currently work at an aftercare/preschool center, but I have been babysitting for years now. I love working with kids and typically work better with older age groups! I am also open to pet sitting, dogs or cats, and house sitting! I have done pet sitting and house sitting off and on for the past couple years as well :) I also did first aid and CPR training classes a couple years ago! I wanted to add to be more clear with my schedule; I am open any weekend, but I am only available past 6pm on weekdays.

“I booked with Sunshine for drop-in pet sitter services while I was out of town. She was very friendly, courteous and easy to work with! She was absolutely wonderful with my pets - a dog and cats - and took great care of them. I would highly recommend Sunshine and will book with her again!”

Booked by 1 family in Atoka, TN

Hello, my name is Saylor. I'm currently a sophomore located in the Memphis area. I am offering pet services as it is something I'm passionate about. I've grown up loving and taking care of animals my whole life. I've watched a variety of pets, from dogs to cats to birds. I enjoy giving them all my love and attention, ensuring they're taken care of the way you take care of them yourself. Some of my responsibilities have included not just taking care of the animals' necessities but also sticking to their already set schedule while making sure their living area is clean for their owners' return.

“10/10! Saylor is reliable, honest, trustworthy, and dependable. She gave me complete peace of mind while away, taking excellent care of both my home and dog. Everything you could ask for in a house and pet sitter. Highly recommend!”

My name is Lindsey and I offer cleaning and organizing services. I believe life is easier when things around you are organized. Your office, house, car or whatever it may be that helps you to be more successful. I love to help and see people get to that place. Cleaning is also a big part of that and I truly enjoy it as well. I can bring my own cleaning supplies and I am able to work weekends.

“Outstanding professionalism, and reliability.”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
