"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

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!”

Hi, my name is Daniela, a current student at the University of Memphis. I offer household cleaning services along with babysitting or pet care needed! I have worked in household cleaning since I was 15 along with my mom, who owns her own cleaning company. We offer services from regular cleans to deep cleans. Apart from cleaning, I have had some babysitting and pet care jobs. Within them I have cleaned, cooked, ran errands. For child care I have done tutoring and crafts, and love getting to know the kids! For pet care, I do all essentials and love spending time and playing games!
“I loved Daniela! She was very sweet. She had my house looking spotless. I will definitely be rebooking in the future”

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.”
