A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Memphis

Memphis summers are hot and humid, so sitters move mid-day walks to dawn and evening from May through September. Winters are short and mild, with year-round walking weather most weeks.

When demand peaks

Demand peaks in summer (June to August), Elvis Week in mid-August, Memphis in May, Thanksgiving, and the December holidays. Medical-research travel from the St. Jude community keeps mid-week boarding steady year-round, often as longer stays.

Know your Memphis pickup areas

Most daycare bookings cluster Cooper-Young to East Memphis. Owners drop off on the way to work and collect afterwards, so an easy run to your door matters more than how far you are willing to travel.

Breeds you will meet in Memphis

Owners here mostly keep Labrador, Goldendoodle, pit mixes, rescue mixes. Knowing how those breeds behave, and saying so on your profile, is what turns a first booking into a repeat client.

Common questions

Doggy Daycare Jobs in Memphis

What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Memphis.

Can I pick up doggy daycare jobs near me in Memphis?
You choose the areas of Memphis you cover, and owners in those areas send you booking requests. Nothing is assigned to you across town. Set your coverage to the streets you can actually reach, and decline anything outside them.
How do I get hired for doggy daycare in Memphis?
Think of it as clients rather than a job offer. Dog care sitters on Petme are self-employed, so what you do in Memphis is accept booking requests at rates you set yourself.
Can I run a dog daycare from my home in Memphis?
No. Taking dogs into your own Memphis home for the day, for payment, is not permitted. 2.7.4 is where that comes from. Book walks and drop-in visits in Memphis, or stay over at the owner's place. All three sit outside the restriction.
Is doggy daycare a good part time job in Memphis?
It fits part-time schedules well because you are self-employed: no assigned shifts, no minimum hours, and you set your own rate. Many Memphis sitters take a few bookings a week around a job or studies and scale up or down as their calendar allows.
What daytime dog work pays in Memphis?
Dog walking runs $13 to $22 per 30 to 60 minute walk and drop-in visits run $14 to $22 per 20 to 30 minute visit. House sitting pays $33 to $60 per night. You set your own rate for each service, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
Why is dog walking allowed in Memphis when day care is not?
Because of where the work happens. A walk or a drop-in takes place on the street or inside the owner's home, so it is not a business run out of your residence. 2.7.4 is aimed at the home occupation, not at the service.
Do I pick my own hours and bookings in Memphis?
Yes. You review each request, arrange a meet first if you want, and accept or decline it. There are no assigned shifts and no minimum hours, and you set your rate and your availability per service across Memphis.
What protection comes with Memphis bookings?
Owners can get up to $22,000 through the Protection Plan for eligible vet costs for the pet in your care.
Are doggy daycare jobs hiring near me in Memphis?
Yes. Petme recruits sitters across Memphis year-round, from Cooper-Young to Midtown, and owners send booking requests directly to sitters in their area. There is no vacancy list to wait on: you create a profile, set the areas you cover, and accept the requests you want.
Can I do doggy daycare jobs in Memphis at 16 or 17?
No. Petme sitters must be 18 or over, so under-18s cannot take bookings yet. From 18 you need a smartphone with the Petme app, to pass ID verification, and a profile that describes the pets you have cared for, including your own.
When is dog walking demand highest in Memphis?
Demand peaks in summer (June to August), Elvis Week in mid-August, Memphis in May, Thanksgiving, and the December holidays. That pattern shapes dog walking bookings in Memphis across the year. Memphis summers are hot and humid, so sitters move mid-day walks to dawn and evening from May through September.
What do I need to start dog walking in Memphis?
You need to be 18 or over, have a smartphone with the Petme app, and pass ID verification. Owners choose on reviews, availability and a complete profile, so it is worth describing the pets you have looked after, including your own, and naming the Memphis areas you cover.
Which dogs will I mostly walk in Memphis?
Owners in Memphis mostly keep Labrador, Goldendoodle, pit mixes, rescue mixes. Saying on your profile which of those you have walked helps owners choose you, because most are looking for someone already comfortable with their dog's size and energy.
What work can I pick up in Memphis with no set hours?
You set the hours yourself. Owners in Memphis send dog walking requests to sitters who cover their area, and you accept or decline each one. Nothing is assigned to you, there is no minimum, and you choose your own rate per service.
