About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and personal experience. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic care, and giving plenty of love and attention. I’m always eager to learn your dog’s unique needs and preferences. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays and have most weekends free, allowing me to provide attentive, loving care and plenty of quality time for your fur babies When babysitting pets in my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where they can safely go outside when needed, and I live in a great neighborhood for walks. I always follow the pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
“Love having Skylar watch our girls! She’s so reliable and communicative, and I’m always grateful she can help out last minute. Will be a return customer many more times!”

“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!”

“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: 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: 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!

“I trust my kitties are in good hands with Emily! She does a great job communicating with me and has been so graciously flexible when needed. She is my go-to whenever I need a sitter and I highly recommend her.”

“Miki watched our dogs for a second time and again did a wonderful job. We have a blind diabetic senior and feel completely confident that he is getting excellent care with Miki. I love that I found Rover so that our furrbabies can stay home and their routine is maintained while we are away. We highly recommend Miki!”

“Taylor is amazing and our golden retriever absolutely loves her! She was able to help us out on short notice and we really appreciated it. She provided pictures of our pup during her visit and made sure to update us on everything. Highly, highly recommend her!”

“Nicole was very attentive and detailed with her check ins. She provided plenty of information in her visits and took plenty of pictures of our dogs, her communication with us while we were away was excellent. She also took care of our home and cleaned up a couple of accidents while we were away. She is very caring and I would highly recommend her and she will be our first choice in the future should we need sitting services again. Thank you so much Nicole!”

“Karina did an awesome job! She was reliable and trustworthy coming to our home to check on our boys and play with them while we were out of town. We will be using her again!!”

Oakridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
Gracen took amazing care of our dog while we were away and truly went above and beyond. Communication was great, and our pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home! We felt completely at ease the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with Gracen again!

We recently went on a three-day international trip and needed someone truly trustworthy to look after our cat. We were fortunate enough to find Vicki, and I can confidently say she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful. She asked the right questions, paid attention to every detail, and instantly gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Vicki cared for our cat with a level of dedication and kindness that is rare to find. She didn’t just “check in” on him—she genuinely spent time with him, comforted him, played with him, and made sure he felt safe and loved in our absence. Her updates were consistent, detailed, and incredibly reassuring. Each photo and message reflected how much she truly cares about animals. When we came back home, we could immediately see the difference. Our cat was calm, happy, and completely relaxed—almost as if we had never left. In fact, over the past few days, we can tell he genuinely misses Vicki and keeps looking toward the door, waiting for her to walk in again. It’s rare for him to bond with someone new so quickly, and that alone says everything about the level of comfort and trust she created. To be honest, we feel like we’ve found a new member of our family in Vicki. Her kindness, reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional caregiver. Knowing that our cat was in such capable and loving hands allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. I would recommend Vicki to anyone on Rover who wants true peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and truly devoted to the well-being of your pet, Vicki is absolutely the person you want. We are so grateful for her and will definitely be booking with her again.
