“Jamie was a life saver. I’m a truck driver and I have only left my dog with family, so imagine the nerves! But Jamie made it an easy experience. She provided numerous pics and gave plenty of updates while I was in the road. And my boy enjoyed himself. Will definitely be booking again and again! I couldn’t thank her enough.”

About: I was raised on a farm with lots of different animals, and I always become so attached to all of them. Bijeaux (Bee-Joe) is my fur-lady that keeps me company as my life is now in the city. Let me know about your pet's exercise/activity routines and what motivates them. I'm a work from home dog dad. Let me know your pet's routine as I believe keeping routines are critical for pet care outside their own home. I have a fenced yard for your kid(s) to play in or parks near by to go run in. Your pet must be house trained, and sleep on their own in their bed or in a kennel.
About: I have experience, caring for dogs, including my own and helping friends and family. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding and playtime, and I treat every dog with care. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m reliable and responsive and I do my best to accommodate with your schedule or routine. When caring for pets in the home or clients home I focus on the safety comfort and the pets routine. I keep the environment clean, calm and friendly and I always give plenty of attention and affection. Also can provide regular updates and photos and can separate dogs if needed.
About: Hello! My name is Erik and through growing up with cats and raising a rambunctious 6-year-old Golden Retriever, I'm the perfect active adult to take care of your animal friends. I work from home, giving me plenty of time for ball throws, tug of war, and enough snuggles and head scratches that your pet may never want to leave. I work from home full-time and take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, ball throws, and bathroom breaks! Because I already have a dog myself, regular breaks are already baked into my schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am within walking distance from several large grassy areas. Furthermore, working from home full-time allows me time to be attentive to your pet's needs!
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. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets consistent, focused attention—no juggling or distractions. I specialize in: - 🐶 Senior pet care — I’m patient, gentle, and experienced with older dogs who need a slower pace, medication routines, or just a cozy companion. - 🐾 Puppy training basics — I help reinforce potty routines with calm consistency and positive reinforcement. - 🧠 Behavior tracking — My background in data means I notice patterns quickly. If your pet’s eating, sleeping, or behavior shifts, I’ll catch it early and keep you informed. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s 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 I’m always happy to tailor care to your pet’s 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. I’m a retired professional who’s 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-friendly—with one sweet resident cat who’s 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 priority—whether it’s monitoring interactions, keeping routines consistent, or ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure. In your home, I follow your instructions to the letter—respecting your space, keeping things tidy, and maintaining your pet’s familiar environment. I’m experienced with medication routines, senior care, and behavior tracking, and I always provide updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy senior, or a curious cat, I tailor my care to fit their personality and needs—because every pet deserves to feel safe, seen, and loved.

About: As an experienced RN and mom, I’m extremely safety-focused, detail-oriented, and gentle with every dog in my care. I’m home a lot, provide a calm environment, and follow owner routines closely. Your dog will get consistent attention, regular check-ins, and a clean, peaceful home to relax in.

Dogs settle into my routine quickly. Dogs relax in my quiet home with a fully fenced yard and a friendly border collie. Safe, supervised, and comfortable environment tailored to your pet’s routine.

“Stephanie is very caring and attentive, I appreciated the communication and photos she provided while watching over my dog after her spay surgery. My dog was immediately comfortable with Stephanie, and that's rare. Will definitely be using her services again.”

“I can tell my dog loves staying with Kailei based on how excited she gets prior to arriving to her home. My dog comes back happy and tired. I feel very safe leaving my baby with her. Thank you, Kailei!”

“Vicki is the best! She treats our pup like her own and cares deeply about all the pets in her care. She’s responsive, accommodating, and gives frequent updates a well. We’re happy to have someone we can trust with our fur child. Thanks Auntie Vic!”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with Kristen! She was incredible with our huge Rottweiler, King. From the start, she was professional, kind, and confident which was exactly what we needed. She kept us updated with pictures and videos, which made us feel so much better while we were away at work. King was clearly happy and well cared for. I will definitely be booking with Kristen again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”

Conner was absolutely amazing with scooter! The drop off and pick up was seamless and he gave scooter lots of attention and care. My baby came home happy! He sent loads of pictures and kept me updated the entire time. Super super happy! Will definitely be reaching out whenever I need help

I’m so glad we found Vinh and his family to take care of our fur babies. They stayed for doggy daycare every day last week, and I received updates and pictures throughout their stay each day. My dogs were happy, and I’m happy knowing they had company the whole time they were there. I really appreciate the care they gave to Dexter, Luna and Yoyo, so I didn’t hesitate to book with them again this week. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving and reliable care for their pets.

Kristen was amazing she took great care of our tiny puppy and I got tons of updates throughout the day. Her dog was very tolerant of our pup who is still learning boundaries and they were able to have great play time. Will absolutely book again and highly recommend

Jamie cared for our dogs for doggy daycare. They came back tired and happy which is all I could’ve hoped for! She sent lots of photos and gave my dogs plenty of attention and ways to play. I appreciate her willingness to care for my dogs but mostly I appreciated her ability to care for my dogs like they were her own. Will definitely use again!

We had a wonderful experience with Ms. Maxine! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and patient with our senior pup, Sinatra. This was his first time staying with her, and she made sure he felt safe and comfortable every step of the way. As a blind dog with special needs, it means the world to find someone who genuinely understands and loves caring for dogs like him. She kept us updated, asked all the right questions, and gave Sinatra the calm, gentle environment he needs. We feel so lucky to have found her and look forward to Sinatra staying with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for thoughtful, compassionate care!

Madelyn was wonderful! My return trip was pushed back late so I ended up needing my pup to get watched an extra night and she was very kind and flexible. My dog was so happy to be there, he didn’t want to leave when I went to pick him up. I would definitely recommend Madelyn for any services!
