About: I have volunteered at multiple in all shelters since the age of 15. As well as owned two dogs my whole lifetime. My current one is a one-year-old Boxer mix that I love. I am the animal go to person for all my family and friends and can’t wait to take care of your baby. I currently work for a remote company with ample amount of time to help with any needs you and your animal mean have. That includes potty breaks and walks! I always follow the instructions of the owner so what you see fit for your animal is what I will follow. That includes crating them when needed and following strict schedules.

“Jordan was incredible with our little Rozlyn. She made sure Rozlyn’s walks were fun and she got adequate exercise. I appreciate her patience, attentive approach, calm demeanor and caring treatment of Rozlyn. I would give her 10 stars if I could.”

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’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for a house full of pets—including a cat, parakeets, fish, and even a couple of snapping turtles—and have loved both cats and dogs throughout my life. As an adult, I was lucky enough to spend 11 years with our beloved German Shepherd mix, Evie. We completed obedience training together, and I have plenty of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, routines, training reinforcement, playtime, and all the everyday care that comes with sharing your life with a dog. As Evie got older, I also gained experience caring for a senior dog through arthritis and, eventually, a period of significant illness. Her needs changed considerably during her final months, so I’m comfortable administering oral medications, keeping an eye on changes in appetite or behavior, adapting routines for an older or less-active dog, and understanding when something just doesn’t seem quite right. I’ve also cared for pets for neighbors and understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet while you’re away. Since losing Evie in 2022, we haven’t been ready to bring another pet into our family, so I’d genuinely love the opportunity to spend some time caring for yours. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and—most importantly—I truly enjoy being around animals. I’m self-employed and set my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my day. I’m generally available for morning visits beginning around 8:30 AM, as well as midday and afternoon care. I can build walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention into each pet’s normal routine, and I’m happy to follow the schedule they’re accustomed to at home. I know consistency matters, especially when pets are away from their people, so I’m happy to follow the schedule they’re accustomed to at home. We are a family of four with two children, ages 10 and 7, and our home has a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. We don’t currently have any pets of our own, so visiting dogs won’t need to adjust to other resident animals. I know every pet has different routines, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding and walks to medications, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, and house rules. I’m also happy to learn about your pet’s personality, triggers, quirks, and favorite things before their stay so we can make our home feel as comfortable and familiar as possible.
“I cannot say enough good things about Matthew! He was so attentive and sweet with Nattie which means the world to me! Every visit he sent several photos showing her walks, poo's, etc and the big smile on her face. He walked her around the pond which she absolutely loved. He made sure she had food, water and treats and kept us informed on her eating amounts. She is a rescue baby and can be very "scared" of people but he was very gentle with her to earn her trust and let Matthew walk her! I forever grateful for finding Matthew and he is my only go to from now on!”

“Savannah does an amazing and thorough job. She carefully took notes about how to care for my two dogs—one of which is elderly and requires some special attention. She was always on time and the dogs love her.”

About: I love all pets and have had two dogs of my own. My first was a terrier mix and my current is a staffie, so I am well accustomed to larger dogs. Additionally, I have been trusted in multiple instances to take care of other people’s pets ranging from bully breeds to pugs. I would love the opportunity to make sure your pet is well taken care of and loved when you need it! Throughout my life I’ve been surrounded by various types of dogs, ranging from chihuahuas to pits, big energy to small, and puppy to senior! This has given me the knowledge and experience to provide adequate care for your pup no matter where they are in their life or how special their personality is! My favorite part about dogs is how expressive they are! They love showing love and really are a great best friend! Currently, I am a substitute teacher, so my availability fluctuates depending on the week. I care for your pets as if they are my own! I prioritize meeting their needs and wants, and making your fur baby feel safe and loved. I follow their food, medication, and potty break routines closely! I will send check-in photos and texts during my visits. I am very reliable when it comes to the safety and well-being of your pet. They will always be fed and/or walked on time, or whatever else they may need. I have a large dog and she can play a little roughly sometimes, so that isn’t a problem if yours is the same. I can guarantee that they will feel loved and cared for under my supervision.
“Rezvan was absolutely amazing with my pup! Took great care of him and kept me updated. Even played games with him to help with his enrichment during the daytime heat :) would definitely recommend”

“Alexandra goes above and beyond for Bentley even though it’s a simple walk! It’s very clear she loves dogs and I feel like Bentley is in good hands when she’s walking him!”

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.
“Megan is fantastic! She responded to my last-minute request and took excellent care of my senior dog. She kept me updated throughout my time away, which gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

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.

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: I have loved caring for animals since the moment my family took us to get a dog and two cats at the age of 10. I have watched animals in the neighborhood growing up and into adulthood for friends, family and Neighboor's. I have owned one dog on my own into adulthood but she is no longer with me. I love watching and meeting new animals and I’m a snuggler and attention giver! I work remotely so I can watch your kiddos at my apartment which has 3 dog parks or I can watch from the comfort of your home or walk at either space! I can go on long walks at my place, go to the dog areas at my complex or come to your home at your pets comfortable level! I am 3 weeks remote out of the month and have plenty of time to give your pet attention, going on walks and playtime. Cuddles included! Pets are free to roam my apartment and sleep in my bed! If crate training I can definitely accommodate your routine to make your per most comfortable

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Richardson. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
