Booked by 1 family in Covington, 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!”

"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!"
