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.

“Thank you so much Arianna . My two boys Zeus y Apollo love her so much. She was always prompt and took them out exactly as we had agreed. She even tidied up as needed. I would definitely recommend Adrianna and would hire her again.”

About: I am a 19-year-old dog and cat lover with 8 years of experience caring for dogs. I have experience with potty training puppies, dog walking, and daily grooming such as brushing fur. I am patient, reliable, and passionate about providing loving care for every pet. I can also administer medication if needed. While I’m currently saving toward purchasing a car, I have reliable transportation options available and am more than happy to arrange a ride to and from your home when needed. Transportation won’t stop me from being there for you and your pet, and I’m always willing to make the extra effort to provide dependable and loving care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while attending school. I’m available most weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. On weekends, I have the most time and flexibility, so I’m especially available for overnight pet sitting and can dedicate more time to providing attentive care. Although I’m currently saving toward purchasing a car, I have reliable temporary transportation options and can arrange transportation to and from an owner’s home when needed. I’m committed to being dependable, flexible, and attentive to each pet’s needs while making things as convenient as possible for their owner. I do not offer pet care in my own home, but when caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I always make sure pets are in a secure environment and closely supervise them during walks and activities. I believe it’s better to be safe than sorry, and I will treat your dog with the same love, care, and attention that I would give my own pet.

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 had cats and dogs ever since I've been alive. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for family, friends and neighbors for 20+ years. I am currently available Monday, Wednesday and Thursday during the daytime. I look forward to getting acquainted with you and your furry companion(s) and loving them as you do. I will care for your fur baby in your home and on the streets, sidewalks and areas that you feel are safest for your pet in your neighborhood.

About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach to pet care and my dedication to ensuring each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need training, play, and patience, to senior dogs requiring gentle handling, medication management, and extra TLC. Additionally, I focus on understanding each pet’s unique personality and routines, tailoring my care to their specific needs. With excellent communication, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands. For me, pet care is more than a service—it’s a passion! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize providing consistent, loving attention to the pets I care for. Each day is structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and quiet relaxation to ensure the pets feel happy and secure. I adapt my schedule to accommodate each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s administering medications, offering extended outdoor exercise, or just snuggling on the couch. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s a passion. My week revolves around creating a safe, happy environment for every pet I look after, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. I provide attentive and personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. In my home, I ensure a safe, cozy, and pet-friendly environment where your dog feels like part of the family. This includes regular walks, feeding on schedule, plenty of playtime, and cuddles. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I maintain their daily routines, such as feeding, walking, and administering any medications. I respect your home, keeping it clean and secure while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve. Communication is key—I provide regular updates and photos to keep you at ease.

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: I've always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs through both personal experience and helping friends and family with their pets. I had a Golden Retriever for 5 wonderful years before he passed away from cancer. He taught me so much about love, patience and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I am comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels and understand how important it is to follow their individual routines and make them feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pup needs a long walk, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I'd be happy to give them the care and attention they deserve! I am currently working part-time as a Physician Assistant, so pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule! I'm able to dedicate time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime and overnight stays when needed. I treat every pet like they're my own! I'll take the time to get to know their personality, routine and what makes them feel comfortable. I am happy to keep up with their schedule, walks, playtime and any special instructions you provide. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll be respectful of your space and make sure everything is secure. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, safe and loved while you're away!

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life never have I ever had a house without animals, they are just apart of my world. My grandma has a huge heart for animals just like me and she taught me everything to care for a fur baby. I can even say sometimes I my fur babies more than my boyfriend haha!! I’m currently working part time but I only usually work in the mornings and get off at 2pm so I would have a lot time to care for the fur babies. Make sure they are all cleaned up and nothing around the house that can cause them harm. They definitely will get all my love and affection. I will definitely regulate not letting them out my site and when taking them on walks make sure that lease is secure cause I have some big dogs and jeez they be pulling haha but good thang I get a nice strong lease.

“She has done a wonderful job with my boy Quinn. Dependable and reliable and flexible. Highly recommend!”

About: I am home all day, I love dogs, and I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My whole life my mom has gotten large dogs and my dad has gotten small dogs so I know how to take care of both. I enjoy running with dogs and love playing with them. I will play with them all day and can send videos or facetime playing with them. I am almost always available. If you ever feel anxiety or if you are ever missing your animal I can go over to your house and FaceTime you or another video chat app. If you do something special for your dog I can and will do the same thing as long as you walk me through it. Recently my Dad’s family has gotten 3 cats which I have taken care of many times. Throughout my life I have loved animals ranging from rabbits to birds to horses and I hope that I can treat your animals as though they are my own family. I am currently a student who works remotely and I have most of my schedule completely free to schedule appointments. Overall, I am very flexible. Generally I will let dogs out after checking the fence for escape routes. Cats are more capable of escaping so I ask beforehand. To ensure safety I like meeting the animals before caring for them. However I trust your word if we cannot meet or if you prefer not to.

“Ryan has been so good for Betty she adores him. He send a picture always and she seems very happy around him. One good aspect is that Ryan has good communication skills and always notify any change and it has been a pleasure to work with him. If you want someone who will give you peace of mind is going to be him. Thank you Ryan!”
