“Krishma was an absolute delight. She was very loving, gentle and made us feel comfortable leaving our baby who is 11 years old. She really was great about sending us updates and pictures every visit which we really appreciated. So happy with our experience with her and we will definitely have her take care of our Jasper in the future! It was our first experience and we are very impressed!! Thank you again, Krishma!!! :)”

7. Miranda G.
About: My husband (Joey) and I work as a team with dog care. We have a soft spot in our hearts for rescue dogs, especially. My husband and I own three of our own, including a sweet special needs guy who needs a cart to walk around in. I understand that each dog is special, and love figuring out how to best make them feel comfortable. For example, another one of our dogs has anxiety, and we’ve had to work to figure out why she does the quirky things she does. I have been able to translate the work that I do regularly in Applied Behavior Analysis to life with my family (and pets). I am home most of the day working online. I enjoy walking on the Frisco Trail or just strolling downtown! In addition to taking care of our own special needs dog and senior dogs, Joey now works from home but previously has two years of experience between working at a vet clinic and as a dog trainer. Joey currently works from home full time, which fortunately gives him flexibility to spend time with the dogs and let them out/play as needed. He can also use his lunch break to do visits or dog walks. We are both off work on weekends. I have a fenced yard, and three friendly dogs to play with yours! I have experience crate training if needed, but will work with whatever your preferences are to make you and your pup as comfortable as possible.

16. Brooke B.
About: Hi!! I love all dogs! I have had my mini dachshund for 5.5 years now and my family has always had 2-3 dogs growing up. My sisters have pit bulls and pit/lab which I babysit often and my parents now have a puppy golden retriever which I am also love! There is no dog too big or small or old or young! I currently work from home/student so my schedule is very flexible. I enjoy watching dogs through out the day and can do so since I can do most of my work from anywhere! I love to go one walks and taking dogs with me just makes sense. I enjoy dogs that like to cuddle but also understand when they need some space.

When I back home, all my babies always happy! I definitely recommend Rani!”
