“Min Q. went above and beyond taking care of my Beaux. She was very nice and kept me up to date with updates daily. i would highly recommend her services,”
“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!”
“Miki is so great to work with! We’ve used her several times. Our cats love her and our shy cat who hides from everyone comes out to see her every time now! She’s interactive with the cats and super communicative with us. I feel so much better leaving town knowing she’s there there to check on them.”
About: I am an animal lover of all shapes and sizes. I am a mom of 2 bully breeds and do not discriminate! I would love to meet and care for all fur babies. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and anything else you may need! I have also had multiple senior family dogs and puppies throughout my 25 years. I am a recent graduate studying for my licensing exam and would love an excuse to meet and be outside with animals. My schedule is pretty flexible currently. Your home, your rules. It will be like I was never there. My goal is to care for your pets just as you would. Specific goals for walks or home will be upheld!
“Christine was an absolute pleasure to work with! She went above and beyond in taking care of my pup. Communication was fantastic, and she even brought along one of my dog's favorite tennis balls for a fun-filled trip to the dog park. The photos she sent showed just how much fun they were having. Christine even took the initiative to bring in a package for me without being asked. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be calling on her again. Five stars all the way!”
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.
“Emily was amazing with my kitties! I have a skittish boy that doesn't take easily to anyone and he fell for her. I have such anxiety around leaving them with anyone and her photos and updates put me at ease. Thank you Emily!”

“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!!”
“Alyssa was great with my cat, Carla, again! She knows how to be patient with her and is able to make sure she is taken care of when I'm out of town. I'll definitely be booking again next time I'm away 😁”

First time having Min take care of our Dog Ollie. Min was on time and sent many photos and video while attending to our dog. She took the time to clean up some excited pee from the floor and made sure the dog had the chance to drink water after playing outside and let Ollie back outside to assure he was able to use the bathroom one more time before leaving. We are extremely happy with Min and would recommend her as we will ask her to come back. Thank you, Min.
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.
