About: I love all animals. I myself have 2 of my own , but have had dogs my whole life. Iâve worked in dog boarding/doggy daycares before . I loved that job , Iâd been a medical assistant but since Covid Iâve taken some steps back from because Iâm also a single parent so Iâm doing this to bring in some extra money and itâs something Iâm familiar with and enjoy doing . Hope to hear from you and your furbabies and willing to compromise or work with schedules đ¤ I have an open schedule . Iâm a single mom but I have care for her . She is really good with animals also since sheâs been around them her whole life . I give them the best care and try to keep habits the same as our their owners were home and loving on themselves . Even providing meds if needed
About: I have experience with many different types of dogs and cats. I love animals and your animals will be treated like my own. Love, attention, and understanding. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of and watch your fur babies. Your babies will be played with, get LOTS of love, and all their needs attended to. I am very attentive and will ensure pets have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks. I also don't mind sweeping up shedding and basic grooming if requested. And as always, lots of love for your pet when youâre away!
About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!
âSkylar was available at the last minute and took great care of Juice and Moose! They were so happy when we arrived home after a great day of walking in beautiful fall weather. Thanks so much for helping us today.â

About: I've watched pets for countless families in the neighborhoods I grew up in, from tiny shitzus and Chihuahuas to huge great Danes and English mastiffs. Cats, rabbits, or guinea pigs, any furry or scaly family member deserves equal love and care. I understand that hussle culture often leaves our homes quiet and empty for our pets, so I'm open to drop ins and walks at odd hours to help them feel less alone. Taking care of your pets needs shows in the little things: a freshly cleaned food and water bowl, a play session, and a little treat goes a long way in helping your pets feel less lonely.
About: Unfortunately, the pictures in my profile are somewhat misleading as my Molly passed away in January 2025. I miss her so much! But, thankfully, Molly taught me a lot about doggie care! As a retired data analyst and lifelong animal lover, I bring a rare blend of reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care to every pet I meet. Iâm home full-time, which means your pet gets consistent, focused attentionâno juggling or distractions. I specialize in: - đś Senior pet care â Iâm patient, gentle, and experienced with older dogs who need a slower pace, medication routines, or just a cozy companion. - đž Puppy training basics â I help reinforce potty routines with calm consistency and positive reinforcement. - đ§ Behavior tracking â My background in data means I notice patterns quickly. If your petâs eating, sleeping, or behavior shifts, Iâll catch it early and keep you informed. I treat every pet like familyâwhether itâs a high-energy pup who needs structured play or a shy senior who just wants a quiet cuddle. My home is calm, clean, and safe, and Iâm always happy to tailor care to your petâs unique needs. Im newly retired and my only routine is going to the gym in the morning. But, rest assured, your pet won't ever be alone...my husband is here and works from home. Iâm a retired professional whoâs home full-time, which means your pet gets consistent, attentive care in a calm, secure setting. My home in Richardson is quiet, clean, and pet-friendlyâwith one sweet resident cat whoâs mellow and used to sharing space. If your dog or cat isn't though, Jaz can always go to my mother-in-laws studio attached to our house if necessary. For dogs who enjoy outdoor time, I have a fully fenced backyard with a pool. I supervise all outdoor play closely and never allow unsupervised access to the pool area. Safety is always my top priorityâwhether itâs monitoring interactions, keeping routines consistent, or ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure. In your home, I follow your instructions to the letterârespecting your space, keeping things tidy, and maintaining your petâs familiar environment. Iâm experienced with medication routines, senior care, and behavior tracking, and I always provide updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether itâs a playful pup, a shy senior, or a curious cat, I tailor my care to fit their personality and needsâbecause every pet deserves to feel safe, seen, and loved.

âJill arrived just a few minutes early so she could start Dash's walk right on time. Our tail wagged welcomed her at the door and really enjoyed his walk. This was the first time Jill B. walked out dog and we will definitely use her services again! Thanks Jill!â

About: Iâm comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all breeds, especially those with independent or strong-willed personalities. That said, I genuinely love and deeply understand Shiba Inus and their charming, unique way of being. Iâve been caring for my own Shiba, Momo, for the past five years, and through her Iâve gained real, hands-on experience with the breedâs intelligence, independence, stubbornness, and quirks. Over the years, Iâve also walked and dog-sat many of Momoâs Shiba friends, which has expanded my understanding of how different each Shiba can be. Even before Momo, I regularly walked and puppy-sat my good friendâs Shiba Inu, Yoshi. I think this is when I first fell in love with the breed and never looked back! Iâm patient, attentive, and highly attuned to boundaries and communication styles, especially with dogs who are a bit aloof or selective with affection. I understand that Shibas tend to move at their own pace and respond best to calm encouragement â often in a way that lets them feel like it was their idea all along. ;) Shibas hold a special place in my heart, and I take pride in providing calm, thoughtful care that helps dogs feel safe and comfortable! I currently work part-time and can check-in on or walk your pup mid-day so you can focus on work, errands, or just grabbing lunch yourself. As a dogmom of a breed known to be an escape artist, I am very careful when I enter and leave the home. I understand that dogs can become bored when they're left at home, so I also take a look around the home to make sure there aren't things lying around the ground that could cause them trouble. While out and about on walks, I am not on my phone unless we are fully stopped and off to the side to check important messages.
About: Iâve had experience raising cats, dogs, and rats of my own and I love working with animals. I owned a lab and a Maltese, I love dogs of all sizes! I currently have a cat who's my whole world, so I'm in the swing of taking care of animals and giving them all my love. Iâve also had experience watching large dogs and eight years of experience babysitting children, so Iâm trustworthy and reliable. Iâll treat your pets as if they were my own and give them the care and love they deserve. I have changing availability, I try to keep it updated but you can shoot me a message to double check! I am open for most things you might need for your dog, and I look forward to hearing from you! I work part time so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets! My schedule changes each week so my availability might change, but you can always message me to make sure I'm available! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow each pet's routine and keep their environments clean and stress-free.
About: Paw-parent to the sweetest 4 year old Frenchton. As a former corporate employee in an office, I know the struggles of finding time to give dogs the attention and stimulation they deserve. Iâm here to make your life a little easier and provide great care for your best friend. Iâve taken care of family pets since high school but became a first time paw-parent in 2020. My partner Johnny also helps me and he is home during the day since he works from home. I currently have lots of free time and can look over your pets almost any day of the week. Spring break is around the corner and my calendar is filling up fast. Please book soon for March dates. Furry friends will be taken out 4-5 times a day. Can accommodate to more times if needed. Pets will be kept inside the home for boarding at all times. (Potty breaks are done outside in the backyard which is fenced.) If walks are required they will only be done if the weather is safe for pets and me. My current pet Peppers will be at my home if you are boarding but in a completely different part of my home.

He lives back home in Austin with my family, and I miss him so much!

âRachel was awesome and so sweet. My Roxy loved her from the start and didn't even bark at her (which Roxy normally does to any new person that comes to our house) but she was calm and just wanted to sniff her. Rachel was prompt and overall awesome. We will definitely be rebooking for our recurring needs! I also appreciated Rachels last minute availability :)â

Fernwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ann has been amazing through the years. Lily loved her and got excited to see her every time. She helped even when Lily was diagnosed with ALS. Navigating the diagnosis such as picking her up to put her in the wagon and going for a walk, helping her use the bathroom. Lily eventually became paralyzed in her hind legs. Ann didnât let that stop her for caring for my baby as if it was her own. Words cannot express how grateful I am for all the help and love she gave Lily. RIP sweet girl⌠if I get another puppy I will DEFINITELY hire her again!! đŻ

Britney was absolutely incredible to my girl! She truly has a gift. My sweet baby is my emotional support animal and have separation anxiety when weâre not together. Britney changed that around and had outstanding communication and love for my girl while I was away for a trip. Thank you Britney and will be booking again!
She is amazing! We have a German Shepard and a sr cocker spaniel (who is stand offish) and she was so great with them. We will be using her in the future. Communication was STELLAR! She went above and beyond for our dogs and gave us so much mental peace while in our vacation.
We couldnât have asked for a better walker! Kat is our neighbor and she took amazing care of our dog for 7 days - walking him every day at the same time, giving him treats, and keeping us updated with photos. It was clear our dog felt comfortable and happy. Kat is kind, reliable, and attentive. Weâre so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care!

Absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time ever leaving my boys with a dog walker and I was a bit nervous but my boys loved her to the point one of my Dogs tried to leave with her one day lol! She brought them toys took them to the park ran them the whole nine ! She was very communicative and let me know everything. I would definitely book her a million times more! Thank you Macaya for loving on my boys đ
