About: I have experience with many different types of dogs and cats. I love animals and your animals will be treated like my own. Love, attention, and understanding. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of and watch your fur babies. Your babies will be played with, get LOTS of love, and all their needs attended to. I am very attentive and will ensure pets have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks. I also don't mind sweeping up shedding and basic grooming if requested. And as always, lots of love for your pet when you’re away!

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!

Rachel was awesome and so sweet. My Roxy loved her from the start and didn't even bark at her (which Roxy normally does to any new person that comes to our house) but she was calm and just wanted to sniff her. Rachel was prompt and overall awesome. We will definitely be rebooking for our recurring needs! I also appreciated Rachels last minute availability :)

About: I have loved animals all my life. I was always asked to dog sit. I have taken care of many different kinds of animals. I am very loving and can also have an authoritative voice if needed when walking dogs. I am great at reading animals body language and acting accordingly. The most important thing is I love animals and will care for your animal as if it were my own. I am currently available Mon-Sunday to walk your dog, dog sit and drop ins. If I have a couple days in advance it is very helpful. I would love to watch your furry friend in the comfort of their own home, as I know that is comforting to the owners as well as the dog’s. I am not able to keep animals in my home. I would have to care for them in your home. I would love to be able to have animals, but not able to at the time. I know many dogs would prefer being in their own home, depending on their personality! I would care them as you would!. I love cats as well just have to take allergy medicine because my eyes start itching. Well worth it! Just can not sleep in the same bed.

About: Hi! My name is Hiba, I am a friendly, independent college student at the University of Texas at Dallas studying marketing! I have 2+ years of pet care experience and genuine love for dogs walking. Growing up, I’ve always been around dogs. I have a horse named Stormy at the ranch I ride at, and our little furry friend Milo, the ranch dog there! Growing up with him made me realize how sweet dogs can actually be, as well as emotional and loving. Dogs is a great time for me to stay active. Also working towards my education and I truly enjoy spending my time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’m trustworthy, patient, and attentive, and I treat every dog like they’re my own no matter the breed, age, or size or the dogs. I understand how and it’s important to feel confident leaving your pet with some money so I focus on making sure dogs feel safe comfortable and happy during every walk or visit. Whether your pup needs to relaxed stroll, a high energy walk or just some attention during the day. I’m happy to help. As a college student, I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care through the week. I enjoy staying active, a dog walking fits perfectly into my daily routine while I work toward my education. I’m happy to work with owners to find the best times that fit their pets routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets, comfortable and stress free. I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care they need while respecting the owner’s home. I’m always happy to send updates to know your pet is safe and happy. 🏠

About: I've watched pets for countless families in the neighborhoods I grew up in, from tiny shitzus and Chihuahuas to huge great Danes and English mastiffs. Cats, rabbits, or guinea pigs, any furry or scaly family member deserves equal love and care. I understand that hussle culture often leaves our homes quiet and empty for our pets, so I'm open to drop ins and walks at odd hours to help them feel less alone. Taking care of your pets needs shows in the little things: a freshly cleaned food and water bowl, a play session, and a little treat goes a long way in helping your pets feel less lonely.

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’ve had experience raising cats, dogs, and rats of my own and I love working with animals. I owned a lab and a Maltese, I love dogs of all sizes! I currently have a cat who's my whole world, so I'm in the swing of taking care of animals and giving them all my love. I’ve also had experience watching large dogs and eight years of experience babysitting children, so I’m trustworthy and reliable. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and give them the care and love they deserve. I have changing availability, I try to keep it updated but you can shoot me a message to double check! I am open for most things you might need for your dog, and I look forward to hearing from you! I work part time so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets! My schedule changes each week so my availability might change, but you can always message me to make sure I'm available! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow each pet's routine and keep their environments clean and stress-free.

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 avilability fluctuates during the day, but I generally have most nights free. On days that I am not working I am more than willing to visit your pet and take care of them. Winter break starts on December 15th so I will have fairly open availability after that point! 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.

Molly was wonderful. She provided dog walking services for one of my dogs for 5 evenings. She always arrived right on time. She took the time to read my dog’s profile to familiarize herself with his idiosyncrasies. Although somewhat unusual, she allowed me to walk my other dog with her. She was very gentle and kind with my dogs and helped me immensely. I would absolutely book her again for this service.
