“Jordan is amazing!! Took on Kyro last min and was extremely patient with him and grew a trusting relationship with him. I will definitely be booking her again. Super pleased!”
About: I’m patient, reliable, and I give pets a lot of attention and care. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely and keep you updated so you always know how they’re doing. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very organized and make time for check-ins, feeding, playtime, and cleaning. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can adjust to your pet’s needs and keep their routine consistent. I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment by following each pet’s routine exactly and paying attention to their behavior. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep dangerous items out of reach, and give pets a calm, stress-free space. I always handle pets gently, stay aware of their comfort levels, and keep you updated so you can trust they’re safe and well cared for.
“I appreciate the very thought honest updates on each visit. They let me know when the dogs had an accident where most people would just pretend that everything was perfect.”
“Jackie came over every day to visit, feed and water our dogs while we were away at a wedding. She did everything that we asked and the dogs were well cared for when we arrived home. I would highly recommend using her.”
“When it comes to promptness, Jill is the sitter of choice. She came at the agreed upon time (two times a day for a week), sent pictures to document my cat's wellness, provided food and water, administered meds, brought in the mail, etc. It is obvious that she has compassion for animals and takes pride in a job well done. I will not hesitate to use her again!”
About: I am dog owner of a golden retriever. I love teaching him new tricks all the time. I have worked very closely with other trainers to train dogs so I have expirence training dogs. I love taking the dogs to the dog parks. I usually walk everyday. I spend about 20 minutes training him every day and he loves it. Training is another way of showing your dog you love them and you are paying attention to them. So they love it. I also grew with my parents that have a farm with alot of differnt animals. They own 6 Great Pyraneese , goats, chickens, cats, pigs, and I have been peacocks. I have helped my parents raised them and feed them.
About: For the past couple of years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family. I’ve handled everything from overnight stays to daily feeding and walking schedules. I’m used to following specific instructions for feeding and making sure pups stay on their routine. I am currently a college student at The University Of Texas at Dallas and work part-time at H-E-B, but I have a very consistent routine. I have plenty of time between my classes and work shifts for potty breaks and walks. I am dedicated to being punctual and will always make your pet’s exercise and feeding schedule my top priority. Safety is my number one priority when caring for your pets. I am extremely careful with leashes and securing gates during walks or home visits. Because I am used to the high standards of my job at H-E-B, you can trust that I will be responsible, respectful of your home, and provide frequent photo updates.
“Jade is patient with my very timid boxer, and we hope this is the start of a beautiful new relationship. She just did a lunch drop-in today and sent us several pics, which helped us feel at ease and very hopeful that our girl will have a new bestie in Jade. ♥️”
About: I treat every pet like my own, giving them lots of attention, patience, and care. I’m comfortable with puppies who need consistency and basic training, as well as senior pets who need a gentler approach and extra attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my part-time job because I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my week around each pet’s needs, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, visits, playtime, and quality care. I always make sure every pet gets consistent attention and never feels rushed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special care. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I also keep things clean, respect your home, and provide regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
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.
“Zac was great and definitely went above and beyond taking good care of my Dog and my "fish" lol. I could not have asked for better. I am always very nervous about leaving my dog and he made me feel very comfortable about being away. I will definitely use him again to take care of Dotty. :-)”
“Christy was excellent! She was timely, responsible, and communicative, providing detailed updates about my old lady 🐶. And she was flexible in accommodating my request to extend two more drop-ins. I’ll 100% rebook with her in the future.”
About: Over the years, I’ve rescued and trained several puppies, helping them find loving homes. My experience with animals began in childhood, where I cared for multiple pets who lived long, happy lives. This lifelong connection with animals has given me the skills and dedication to provide exceptional care. I am currently available at all times, including early mornings, late nights, and any day of the week. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended pet care, or last-minute needs, I can adjust to your schedule and provide reliable, attentive service. My flexibility ensures your pet gets the care they need, whenever they need it. I have a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to anticipate their needs and reactions in various situations. I also have the necessary tools and equipment to maintain control and ensure the safety of all parties at all times, providing a secure and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners.
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: I’ve taken care of family pets growing up for years, cats and dogs. And walked a dog for a neighbor twice a week for a year. My schedule is pretty flexible but it’s helpful to know a week in advance the timing of when walks are preferred so I can adjust accordingly. I am not able to do pet care in my own home as I am not able to house pets in my current lease, sorry!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Richardson
Kristen did a wonderful job caring for my chihuahua, bulldog, and kitty while I was gone. She kept in close communication with me and sent me photos during each visit. She even washed their dirty dishes and took out the trash because it was full! My pets received lots of loving care and attention during my absence. I highly recommend Kristen and plan to have her care for my pets again!
Madeline was awesome! This was our second time booking with Madeline and she was great again! She is communicative, followed my directions, and very caring towards my pup. He seemed very happy when we returned home, I’m grateful for her help! Would highly recommend
Daniel has been such a great help for our family, he’s been a reliable weekly sitter for our five year old doodle mix. He is a very good communicator and our dog LOVES hanging out with him. Daniel matches our dog’s energy and I feel comfortable having him do weekly drop in visits in our home.
Katherine was wonderful with our puppy! She had such a calming presence and immediately picked up on his cues for what he needed. She was incredibly detail oriented and was able to follow an extensive schedule for our puppy. We are hoping to be able to use Katherine as our primary sitter in the future!
Alexandra was great! This was her first time sitting for us, and she quickly came over for a meet-and-greet and was wonderful with the dogs. She was friendly and kind, and she asked good questions to make sure she knew how to best care for our pups. She gave good, detailed updates every time she visited, like little mini short stories about our pups and her time with them. I felt like our dogs were in very good hands and very well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Alex the next time we need a pet sitter.
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!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Richardson choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
