Personalized care for your dog or cat - Richardson
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Richardson
“Shannon is awesome, and has been so patient with my Dachshund over the past visits, as the dog acclimated to the new environment. With Shannon’s help (and medication administration!) she has gotten over her anxiety during boarding. My dog LOVES her!!”
“Jason has been wonderful with Ollie. This is our 2nd time booking with him. I would recommend Jason to anyone looking to board their dogs. It is really hard to find a person you trust your dog with and I can say I plan to book with Jason all my upcoming trips when I am out of town”
“Jamie was so awesome with our girls. On fairly short notice, Jamie and her daughters took on our special needs pup and her rowdy sister and our girls had the best time! Jamie was in constant communication and just WONDERFUL to work with. Thanks for everything.”
“Matt &Tiffany did a fantastic job taking care of my dog Skylar I received pictures everyday and messages about how her stay was going. I could not have asked for a more caring family, true dog lovers! Highly recommend this family and will definitely use them again.”
“So happy I found Dori and her family! They took amazing care of my dog for the week he stayed with them, and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that he was in good hands. I know that I will have a reliable family to take care of him in the future should I need it!”
“Laurie took very good care of our dog, she kept us updated every day and she went above and beyond to keep our dog's anxiety in check. She also made sure our dog ate every day, as he's very shy when not at home. Highly recommend Laurie. Thank you.”
“Annie did an amazing job taking care of my dog! I really appreciated the daily photo updates and how communicative she was throughout—it was so comforting to see how happy and well cared for my pup was. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“What impresses me most is that I have two very different types of dogs, and Stephanie has the skills and flexibility to handle them both. Clarity is an elderly, fragile little lap dog who needs a lot of sensitive care and attention. Stephanie listened carefully to her needs and provided her exceptional care. The other dog, Bubba, is tough, strong, highly independent, energetic, and intense, with a prey drive; he loves to play with toys and run fast. Stephanie regularly sent me photos and updates of the fun times he was having in the yard—for example, or of Clarity getting comfy in various spots in her home. Also, I appreciated that on short notice, Stephanie came right over and picked up my dogs. She also dropped them off for me, too, as I requested, so they’d be here to greet me when I arrived home. Thank you, Stephanie!”
“Stella was great for Riley. In fact he is probably upset we picked him up as he got to go to dog park daily. Stella was accommodating as our flight got delayed and Riley had to spend an additional night. Will definitely see if Stella is available for the next time Riley needs cared for”
“Maxine was the best dog sitter! She took great care of my little dog and kept me updated with photos throughout the week! I know my little dog was in such good hands! She’s now the person I go to if I need to go out of town.”
“Amalia was so easy to work with. She took good care of my dog, Bruno and was communicative throughout the whole stay. She updates me with pictures everyday and even went above and beyond to keep my faucets dripping when the weather got too cold. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their pet to be care for!!”
“Taylor and David were amazing! They made me feel comfortable boarding my golden retriever for the first time. They scheduled a meet and greet and were willing to answer my questions. They sent pictures and kept me updated during his stay. And he had so much fun running and playing that he slept all day his first day home. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“I could not recommend Fernanda & Matthew enough!! They were incredibly patient and loving to our sweet Ralphie, who we adopted only 2 months ago. Ralphie didn't really want to come home with us which is a great sign that he felt safe and very loved by this incredible family!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Cole take care of my two beloved pets, Stella and Sabrina, while I was away on vacation. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and attention that they received during their stay. From the moment I dropped them off, I could tell that the sitter was not only experienced, but genuinely cared about their well-being. She took the time to get to know both of my dogs, their personalities, and their specific needs. She even asked me about their routines, favorite toys, and any specific instructions I had for their care. Throughout their stay, I received regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell that they were having a great time, and were well taken care of. They even went on daily walks and had playtime, which made me happy to know they were getting exercise and fresh air. When I picked them up, they were happy and healthy, and I could tell that they had been well-loved and cared for. Overall, I would highly recommend Cole to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friends. She truly went above and beyond, and I could not have been happier with her service. Thank you for taking such great care of Stella and Sabrina!”
“Elizabeth went above and beyond for my Gigi during a very stressful time. Due to inclement weather and unexpected family medical emergencies, my trip was delayed, and the original sitter could no longer keep her. Elizabeth stepped in without hesitation and even picked Gigi up to make sure she was safe and cared for. She was incredibly kind, communicated consistently, and sent regular pictures that gave me so much peace of mind. Gigi was happy and well looked after, and I truly appreciated the level of care she provided. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional sitter.”
“Traci is terrific! She communicated regularly (as I requested) and took extra care with my high-maintenance dog. I would absolutely leave my precious pup in her care again.”
“Benji and Stella had a wonderful time staying with Eva! I felt very comfortable leaving them with her and knew they would be well cared for - and they definitely were! I would recommend them for sure!”
“Poppy Darla loved spending her time with Lu and her pups while I was away. Poppy gets so excited whenever she arrives at their home, that she doesn’t even turn around to say bye to me! Which is very telling of how safe and happy she feels with them.”
“Lauren and her family are so special. From our first communication I could see their passion for dogs and making their furry visitors feel like a part of the family. I left both of my puppers with them and just felt so secure and confident that they would be taken care of and treated as part of the family. Incredible communication throughout the whole process was a major plus, I know my boys will be so happy to head back there. 🥰”

Cat caregivers near you - Richardson
“Emily did a great job looking after my skittish cat, and on very short notice. My kitty even seems to be happy to see her! Very caring and professional. Would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Jennifer and Jonathan have been taking care of my cat bubbles for a while whenever I’m out of town. They’re always great with him and send pics letting me know he’s happy!”
“Geni is perfect super hands on and very proactive. My cats loved her so much and were happy to see her again yesterday. Geni gave medication and treated Coachella’s nose desease as he was her cat. I highly recomend Geni, thanks Geni for all you do! Pri, Coachella and Lana! 😻”
“I love booking Oline to look after my sweet cat Nellie. She's so attentive to her needs and Nellie just has the best time with her. It's so reassuring knowing that Nellie is so happy and comfortable when I'm away! Thanks so much Oline.”
“Katelyn did a great job caring for Cantaloa and administering medicine for her. She took photos and gave informative updates, so I knew that my cat was well taken care of.”
“Alexis took care of our 2 special needs cats for 2.5 weeks, and did a fantastic job! She provided multiple photos and great updates with each visit, which were really appreciated.”
“I can’t say enough good things about our cat walker, Mia! She has been absolutely amazing with my two ragdoll boys, Loki and Thor. Not only does she take them on their walks, but she also did drop-in visits while I was out of town—and I had complete peace of mind the entire time. What really sets her apart is how interactive and engaged she is with them. She doesn’t just show up and go through the motions—she truly spends quality time encouraging them to explore, play, and of course, get plenty of cuddles. It’s so clear she genuinely loves what she does, and even more importantly, she truly loves my boys. Loki and Thor adore her. They literally cry at the door when they know she’s coming, which says everything. Seeing how excited they get and how comfortable they are with her makes it an easy decision every time—I’ve already booked her multiple times and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Mia is the one. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Alex took such great care of our kitties while we were away for 2 weeks! She was very detailed and thoughtful with her updates and sent a lot of photos of our cats during her check ins. I would recommend Alex to any of my friends / family! 10/10! ⭐️”
“Katherine was great with my kitten. This was my first time leaving him with someone and I was a little worried, but she gave me pictures and videos right away and kept me updated every day. He was very happy and loved being with her.”
“Catherine was an absolute rock star sitter. She knows exactly what she’s doing and I could not have been at more ease while I was out of town. Definitely book with her!”
“Fabulous experience with Sebnem as usual. She takes such great care of my cats, even when I need to add extra bonus foster cats to the mix. Wonderful communication every visit.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Richardson
“From our meet-and-greet to the first actual stay, my dog *loved* being at Jason's! He and his wife are kind, love dogs, have a great house setup for doggy day care. My dog can be anxious in new settings, especially if I leave him, but he did great! As Jason said, "couldn't have gone better." I am SO grateful to have found him and will definitely be using their services a lot in the future. I'd give them 10 stars if I could ;)”
“Vicki is the best! She treats our pup like her own and cares deeply about all the pets in her care. She’s responsive, accommodating, and gives frequent updates a well. We’re happy to have someone we can trust with our fur child. Thanks Auntie Vic!”
“Eva and her family are the best, they send pictures and updates throughout the day. We have use them for both dog sitting and for boarding and loved both experiences. If they’re available I want to choose Eva first every time!”
About: Hello! My name is Erik and through growing up with cats and raising a rambunctious 6-year-old Golden Retriever, I'm the perfect active adult to take care of your animal friends. I work from home, giving me plenty of time for ball throws, tug of war, and enough snuggles and head scratches that your pet may never want to leave. I work from home full-time and take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, ball throws, and bathroom breaks! Because I already have a dog myself, regular breaks are already baked into my schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am within walking distance from several large grassy areas. Furthermore, working from home full-time allows me time to be attentive to your pet's needs!
About: I have fostered pets and cared for small dogs! I have also cared for hamsters, kittens, and elderly pets. I am happy to spend time with your pets! I currently have an open availability to care for your pets! My colleague Micah is also available to provide pet care on days/times when I'm not available. Kindly message me for times and days and we can work around that schedule! I make sure to keep my environment safe for pets by putting away cable cords, choking hazards, or anything else that may pose a safety risk to pets.
“Leaving my dogs with someone else for the first time felt a lot like dropping your child off at school for the first day — I was nervous and hesitant about using Rover at first. But after an unexpected situation came up, I’m so grateful we found Van and her family. For three days, they took such amazing care of my dogs. I provided their food, and Van and her family made sure they were fed, able to play outside in the yard, and got plenty of rest and love. The updates, pictures, and videos throughout the stay gave me so much peace of mind and made my days at work so much easier knowing my babies were happy and comfortable. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to them again for future doggy daycare or boarding needs. Thank you again, Van and family, for treating my dogs like your own!”

“Stephanie is very caring and attentive, I appreciated the communication and photos she provided while watching over my dog after her spay surgery. My dog was immediately comfortable with Stephanie, and that's rare. Will definitely be using her services again.”
“Wonderful and patient. Frankie had a great time. Thank you being able to watch Frankie last minute. Would definitely use her services again and recommend to others. Frankie was so happy and she updated me often which I appreciated!”

“I’m so happy to have found Rezvan! She was very professional and personable. She took wonderful care of my 110lb Great Pyrenees puppy, and left him happy and worn out at the end of his walk.”

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.
“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 💯”
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: If there’s a dog in the room, there’s a 99% chance I’m saying hi to them first 🐾 I’ve been lucky enough to have dogs my entire life and have had my own sweet girl for the past six years, so caring for them is second nature. I also get to spoil my parents’ dogs whenever they’re out of town. I genuinely love being outside, so long (or short) walks, sniff breaks, and soaking up the sunshine are some of my favorite ways to spend the day. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure buddy, or prefers a slower paced stroll with lots of treats and belly rubs, I’m happy to match their vibe. My goal is simple: make sure your dog has a great time, get lots of love and attention, and comes home happy. I’ll treat your pup like they’re one of my own! My schedule is pretty flexible, which means I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Spending time with dogs is genuinely one of the best parts of my day, not something I have to squeeze into it! I know that every pet has their own routine, so I always do my best to stick to the schedule your dog is used to. Whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, medications, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to follow your instructions so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I will also treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want someone to treat mine — keeping things cleans, locking up securely, and sending plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and in good hands.
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 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.
“Jill arrived just a few minutes early so she could start Dash's walk right on time. Our tail wagged welcomed her at the door and really enjoyed his walk. This was the first time Jill B. walked out dog and we will definitely use her services again! Thanks Jill!”
About: I am an absolute dog lover! I have grown up with dogs and love being around them. We go on walks often so we can get our daily dose of exercise. I will care for your dog as my own. No pups on the furniture but I have two plush dog beds for them to rest their furry heads. I look forward to spending lots of time with your pup and overdosing them with belly rubs. I love capturing moments, so expect to get lots of pictures from me. I’m currently back at work and my hours are usually 9-5. A few days a week I am able to work part time so I’ll be home more. I have a fenced yard so they can spend time outside. We split custody for our very friendly lab so occasionally your pup will have a friend to play with.
About: I currently have 2 dogs - Morkies (Yorkies and Maltese mix). Pets have always been a part of my life. Family and friends tell me that I treat my dogs like they are people; I say that I just love them and they love me. You can be sure that I would love and care for your pets just as much. Please don't leave them home alone. Contact me and enjoy your time away from home - your pets will be in great hands with attentive care. My schedule is flexible which allows me the opportunity to be home during the day, and all nights. Please, no aggressive dogs. I will make sure that your dogs are comfortable and safe with me. I have an 8' fenced back yard, with security cameras. I enjoy being outside with your furbabies and will provide that extra level of security when they are running around in the backyard. I have hard floors for easy clean-up. I also provide extra blankets to keep your furbabies warm. I also have a separate eating area set up for your furbabies. I keep one extra crate, if needed when you bring your dog.
“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 have been successful pet owners for over 12 years. I am a mature adult and will keep my appointments. I love dogs and I love providing pet care services for families in our community. I am a stay at home mom. I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your puppy and walk them multiple times per day. Our neighborhood is very safe to walk in. I have a fenced in yard plus a very friendly mini schnauzer and one daughters. We walk Bella multiple times per day. Plus, we feed her on a consistent schedule. Right now, due to my schedule I can provide early evening care beginning at 4 pm and am available for evening care. Also, I work in the school and am available during holidays and my summer schedule is very flexible. I feed our dogs twice daily on a set schedule. Also, they recieve 3-4 walks daily. Our dogs are members of our family. I love our pets very much.
About: I can take special care of any animals, providing gentle support to ensure their comfort and well-being. Whether it’s basic training, playtime, or administering medication, I can tailor my services to meet your dog’s unique requirements. My focus is on creating a stress-free, enjoyable experience for your furry friend while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m dependable about following each pet’s usual schedule and making sure they receive plenty of attention and care while their owner is away. Since I don't offer boarding, I provide in-home dog sitting and walking services tailored to your pet's needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I ensure they follow their regular routine to maintain familiarity. I offer regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, whether it’s cuddling, training, or simply keeping them company. If your pet needs medication or special care, I’m happy to accommodate that too. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of while you're away.

“Jason has been wonderful with Ollie. This is our 2nd time booking with him. I would recommend Jason to anyone looking to board their dogs. It is really hard to find a person you trust your dog with and I can say I plan to book with Jason all my upcoming trips when I am out of town”
“Jamie was so awesome with our girls. On fairly short notice, Jamie and her daughters took on our special needs pup and her rowdy sister and our girls had the best time! Jamie was in constant communication and just WONDERFUL to work with. Thanks for everything.”

I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs their pet to be care for!!”
“Taylor and David were amazing! They made me feel comfortable boarding my golden retriever for the first time. They scheduled a meet and greet and were willing to answer my questions. They sent pictures and kept me updated during his stay. And he had so much fun running and playing that he slept all day his first day home. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“I could not recommend Fernanda & Matthew enough!! They were incredibly patient and loving to our sweet Ralphie, who we adopted only 2 months ago. Ralphie didn't really want to come home with us which is a great sign that he felt safe and very loved by this incredible family!”
“Elizabeth went above and beyond for my Gigi during a very stressful time. Due to inclement weather and unexpected family medical emergencies, my trip was delayed, and the original sitter could no longer keep her. Elizabeth stepped in without hesitation and even picked Gigi up to make sure she was safe and cared for. She was incredibly kind, communicated consistently, and sent regular pictures that gave me so much peace of mind. Gigi was happy and well looked after, and I truly appreciated the level of care she provided. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional sitter.”

“Lauren and her family are so special. From our first communication I could see their passion for dogs and making their furry visitors feel like a part of the family. I left both of my puppers with them and just felt so secure and confident that they would be taken care of and treated as part of the family. Incredible communication throughout the whole process was a major plus, I know my boys will be so happy to head back there. 🥰”

“Lyn and Lenny are the real deal. They genuinely love our big guy. Leaving a fur baby is always hard but knowing that Ranger is loved on and cared for just like he is when he is with us is a huge weight off our shoulders. I am so grateful Rover connected us. Lyn and Lenny will be the first people I reach out to for future trips!”
“Matthew was such a nice guy. He took care of our Roxy it was our first time leaving her with someone he slept with her the first night to make her comfortable. I woke up to photos of them that helped me really enjoy my vacation. She had fun with his dogs too she kept them busy. Even gave her a sacrifice (stuffed animal) to calm her during a storm. Will rebook in the future thanks Matthew ☺️”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Ollie. It meant the world to us seeing the updates — and the fact that he laid on your lap says everything. He doesn’t just do that for anyone! 🥹🐶 We’re also incredibly grateful for how accommodating you were with our delayed flight. That flexibility gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. We truly appreciate you and would absolutely love to book with you again in the future. Thank you again for loving on our sweet boy!”
“This was my 2nd time to board Newman with Kelli, and just like the first time it was a great experience. Newman seems happy and comfortable going over there, and Kelli is very responsive and sends pics.”
