About: Hi! I’m Kristen. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud Labradoodle mom to my girl, Ecko. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family. I work from home as a recruiter, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I provide care exclusively in your home, where your pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. Services I Offer: * 🐶 Dog Walking * 🏡 House Sitting (Overnights in Your Home) * Drop-In Visits * 🐱 Cat Care * Medication Administration * Feeding & Fresh Water * Exercise & Playtime * Potty Breaks & Litter Box Cleaning * Light Grooming (Brushing, Paw Wipes, etc.) * Photo & Video Updates * Care for Other Pets (Just Ask!) I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with cats, puppies, senior pets, and pets that need medication or a little extra patience. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. Whether you’re heading out for the day or taking a longer trip, my goal is for you to have complete peace of mind. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, and I’ll make sure your pets get the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to hearing from you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home as a recruiter, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate time throughout the day to caring for pets. Whether it’s a midday walk, drop-in visit, feeding, medication administration, or simply spending quality time with a pet, I can easily accommodate visits during the day, evenings, and many weekends. As a proud Labradoodle mom of 8 years, caring for animals has been part of my everyday life for a long time. Spending time with pets is genuinely something I enjoy, and I love being able to use my flexible schedule to help local pet owners while giving their pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I also know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet. During visits, I provide plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you can see exactly how your furry family member is doing and have peace of mind knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I understand that consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I always respect my clients’ homes, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so pet parents can have peace of mind. Safety is my top priority, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality, needs, and preferences. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to accommodate what makes them happiest. 🐾

If I come to you, I will follow your routines, schedules, and instructions to the letter. If possible, I prefer to meet and greet with you beforehand to experience you and your fur babies in person. That way, you can introduce me to your home and routine together. I’ve had great pet care and housesitting experiences where meeting beforehand wasn’t possible as well. I like animals to be where they want to be, including the furniture, beds, etc… depending on their personal preferences.

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
“Alexandra is the best. Dexter was super nervous but she helped him get comfortable super fast and was doing everything at his pace. Dexter loved his walk with her. Everyone around her location with a dog NEEDS to book her; your dogs will love her 💯”

“Thank you Kristy for your consistency in taking care of Sammy! It’s so important to feel secure when you’re far away from your pup & you offered that. I hope you will continue to work with us if in the future dog walking services are needed. Thank you again!”

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 teacher and am on summer break, so my availability is very open.

I use my breaks to let out/check on the animals and am sure to give them the attention and love they need. I will walk or let out your dog frequently - I always want them to feel comfortable.

Britney was absolutely incredible to my girl! She truly has a gift. My sweet baby is my emotional support animal and have separation anxiety when we’re not together.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Richardson on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Richardson. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Richardson.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

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

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.
