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.

“OMG Zarina is a true gem!!! I have a very shy gentle giant who instantly loved Zarina the minute she walked through the door. Zarina is very attentive, uses great judgement for the safety of your fur baby. She even took time to hang out and play with my sweet boy after walking/feeding. I’m super grateful to have booked with Zarina and I cannot wait to book her again. Thanks again Zarina!!”

About: As a dedicated pet sitter with hands-on experience, I’ve successfully potty-trained three dogs and spent a couple weeks working alongside a professional trainer to deepen my skills. My goal is to provide your pets with a safe, loving, and structured environment that feels like home. Whether it’s playtime, training reinforcement, or plenty of cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry family members are well-cared for and happy while you’re away. I work from home a couple of days a week and I’m 5 minutes from my office so I can run home for potty breaks. I love dog walks, throwing the ball or cuddling on the couch. I have a completely fenced yard with a security camera. I will keep the dogs inside unless it’s potty or playtime. I have a Bernadoodle and he sleeps in the bed with me.

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: My dog, LJ Gibbs, is around 8 years old, and he truly is a man's best friend. I love playing with him, taking him on walks, feeding him, and honestly just learning who he is as a dog. Having Gibbs has taught me that every dog has their own personality, habits, and way of communicating. I enjoy getting to know those little things and understanding what makes each dog comfortable and happy. Right now I have a pretty flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to fit pet care into my day. I already make time for my own dog, LJ Gibbs, whether it’s feeding him, taking him for walks, playing with him, or just spending time together. Taking care of a dog is already part of my everyday routine, so caring for another one fits naturally into my schedule. When I’m caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. I’ll follow the routine you already have in place, whether that means feeding times, walks, playtime, or just hanging out with them. I know every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their personality and what they’re comfortable with. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine.

About: Our pet family started almost by accident. Dark night, middle of busy intersection, an elderly dog was trying to navigate traffic. No tags, hungry and mostly blind. My husband and I were able to get him into car. We took him home, fed the little guy, cleaned him up, named him Charlie. He changed our lives. Since then, we’ve been blessed us with a number of dogs and cats throughout the years. Some have not been healthy and needed care and some are just seniors! Each one has brought us joy. After many years as business professional I finally retired! These days, I pursue hobbies and life’s adventure! My schedule is built on the value I can bring to folks that need pet care like Gary and I have needed for our pets over the years. You should be able to have the personal freedom you need and not worry about your precious fur babies. They will be secure in my care. Expect pics to put your mind at ease! First and foremost fur babies are family. Boundaries are set. If staying in our home, we have a safe quiet (pet) bedroom /play area. We can play soothing, calming, music. Toys ready to throw, pillows, snuggle blankets ready for tucking and snuggling. Hugs and kiss are free and abundant! Let the fun and love begin! They quickly let us know what’s next! Play? Walk? Snuggle? Note: sleeping with your baby is possible, can be discussed. Their safety is the consideration.

“An amazing dog sitter! They were reliable, caring, and treated our dog like their own. I loved getting updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved them. I highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I’ve been a volunteer at the animal shelter for 12 years and have experience with lots of animals there. I’ve worked 2 pet sitting jobs and 1 dog walking job all at the same time. I’m currently working and going to school part time. As long as I’m notified at least a day or more in advance to pet sit or to walk your dog, I will work with you and your schedule. I will take care of your fur babies as if they are my own! I have experience in giving meds to both cats and dogs. I also have experience with taking care of puppies and kittens. And I have some dog training under my belt as well.

“Great work and dependable in service, communication and even going above and beyond. Very grateful for Kyle and his commitment and communication!”

About: I have grown up with animals and currently have two dogs, Charlie and Chelsea! I grew up wanting to be a vet, which resulted in me learning all that I could about animals. I have so much love for them and would have a hundred of my own if I could! I am very responsible and respectful of what owners do and don’t want their pets to do. I have had both small and large dogs of my own throughout my life, so I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule. I love to get out and be active as much as I can during my week! I also love to relax, so an animal who just needs some company is great too. I have a fenced in yard at home and two friendly dogs (a Lab and a Border Collie Mix). They love to be outside and play.

About: I love dogs! Had 2 really big dogs while growing up and always took great care of them. I have a really nice dog park and trail to take them on walks when needed I work from home and having company would be great! I also have nice parks and trails around me to take the dogs out to I have a balcony where they can walk out to for a little bit of fresh air or to eat or drink water. I’m very playful and I can’t wait to have play time with them

About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old, varying from puppies to senior. I have cared for friends and family members fluffy babies when they go out of town including providing medications when necessary. I also worked at PetSmart in their pet area helping clean, administer food based on each dogs specific diet and report on any abnormalities (i.e not eating due to anxiety). I am drawn to animals and always strive to ensure that each pet feels comfortable in their space. I am currently a stay at home mom that is looking for ways to incorporate my love for animals into my daily life her in DFW. It is important to me to establish a connection with each pet including a meet up in a neutral space, like a park and then an in home visit to ensure each animal is comfortable and receptive of my presence in their home.

About: I love dogs and have been taking care of them for 20 years. I work from home so I can help often. I will treat your fur baby like I did my own. I work remotely so I am available often to take care of dogs. I also welcome the reminder from them to get up from my desk and go for walks, etc. I have a fenced yard and can let your dog out easily. I also have a dog park near my home I can take them to if you’d like. At your home, I’ll be happy to take your dog out however is needed while ensuring safety and cleanliness.

“Matthew was fantastic as always. My critters love him, and it's such a relief to know I can count on him to take care of them when I have to be away for too long.”

About: Gentle giant whose goal is to walk a great dane!! Despite my height (6'11) I've only ever had great experiences with pets and being understanding. I've spent the last year raising a black Labrador named gauge from 2 weeks old and he's my best friend. I've dog sat for most family members on multiple occasions as my "side hustle". I've also got 2 kittens at home who are spoiled rotten. It would be an honor to take care of your little or not so little blessings!! Schedule is pretty open as I've relocated from east Texas into the area just recently. I'm almost always free to walk or drop in on any short notice :) Attention to detail!! Any specific rules or regimens will be followed just how you tell/show me. Keeping them comfortable and full of joy whether that be at home and/or having some time outside is my goal! Thank you for your consideration :)

“We love Wren! She’s so sweet and very dependable with our pup Nola. She’s also a great communicator. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! Although I’m new to Rover, I have years of personal experience caring for pets and I’m committed to providing safe, loving care and clear communication. I am currently a college student, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent and reliable pet care. I am able to plan my classes and free time around pet visits, walks, and overnight stays to make sure each pet gets the attention they need. I’m available on weekdays between classes as well as evenings and weekends, and I prioritize being punctual, dependable, and fully present when caring for animals. My schedule gives me the ability to stay organized while still giving pets plenty of care, attention, and companionship. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I make sure they have regular walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, crate time if needed, and any specific instructions from the owner. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel secure, loved, and stress-free while staying with me.
