“Ann was very accommodating and understanding with taking care of my doggy, sent me plenty of pictures and even made sure to give her extra attention when she could tell she needed it! I will definitely be contacting her in the future and i definitely recommend her. Thanks again Ann :)”

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!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and bring a calm, patient energy that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable with all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’ve helped with crate training, leash manners, and administering medications, and I’m great at tuning into each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is the way I connect with animals. I treat every pet like family and always take my time to build trust. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or a quiet presence, I adapt to what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make space in my schedule to give them the attention they deserve. I’m flexible during the week for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, especially in the mornings, midday, and evenings. I plan my days around each pet’s needs and make sure I’m fully present during every visit. Whether it's a short walk or an overnight stay, your pet will always be my top priority. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely, from feeding routines to leash preferences and medication. I double-check doors, gates, and collars to ensure everything is secure during walks or visits. I also create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m attentive to their body language, needs, and routines, and I always send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.

“Miki was absolutely wonderful! I’m new to Dallas and was hesitant to use Rover for someone to see about my kitty, but Miki made me feel so at ease! She was so sweet and easy to work with. Moose obviously loved her and was comfortable with her as well. I appreciated Miki’s updates, pictures, and the time she took to play with Moose and get out his energy! I would definitely use Miki’s services again!!”

“Min was great at communicating from the start and throughout her visits. My boys were very happy when we returned home. Definitely would love for her to sit for us again!”

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: Hi! I am your fur baby's new best friend! I've owned dogs for over 20 years. Volunteered at shelters, taken in strays and found them homes, and adopted as well. I have sat for countless friends and family over the years and now I'd like to become an entrepreneur of sorts, doing what brings me joy! PLEASE NOTE: Owner is responsible for communicating any parking restrictions or limitations. Agreeing to book with me means that tickets or towing incurred during booking timeframe will be at owners expense!!! Open schedule currently. I am able to accommodate and work around sudden schedule changes. Looking to sit at least 3 times a week. Book me please! I respect others pets and property and treat it as my own. Reputation and trust are important and if a family is so kind to consider me to take care of their furbaby, I would do nothing to jeopardize that trust.
“Madeline was awesome! She dropped in to see our kitties while we were away for a short vacation. She made sure their food and water was good, spent some time giving them love and pets, and even scooped the litter box, even though I said she didn't have to worry about it. She even fed our beta!”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs from previous working at doggy daycares. Cleaning, giving medication, understanding when dogs need help, and creating a positive fun environment are all important to me when taking care of animals. I’ve looked over small, medium and big dogs before, and I have three cats of my own. One senior cat and two younger ones! I’m currently in college and have Monday,Wednesday, Fridays off for now and weekends are typically always free! If I’m not able to make room in my schedule I will definitely communicate with you. For clients home, I like to make sure there’s a fenced yard to ensure there’s outdoor time to play and potty. If you have feed separate for feeding I can work with that as well!
“Hannah was kind enough to accept our request 48 hours prior to our trip. We greatly appreciated her taking on the task. Having cats herself, we knew we could trust her with our baby. She sent lots of pictures and was communicative!”
