Dog Walking in Arbors At Oakshade, Davis, CA

“Esmerilda took great care of Finn. Prompt and very good communication. She was very patient and caring. The feedback I received from Finns dog friend's were all positive. I would highly recommend Esmerilda on any dog services.”

“We have 5 chihuahuas and an English bulldog who are used to us being home. Emme does a great job with all 6 dogs, giving them all individual attention. You can really tell she's a dog lover. She's also very good with nail trimmings and giving medications. She left our house tidy and even cleaned up after the dogs in our back yard. Highly recommend her!”

“Isabelle has been my main cat-sitter for the past four years! She’s an extremely punctual, responsible, and caring person and I always feel at ease knowing she is taking good care of my cat babies. She’d always send me several photos and videos of my kitties, and I almost feel like my cats are better taken care of by Isabelle than when I’m around! I can feel that Isabelle genuinely loves taking care of animals, and that’s exactly the kind of person I would want taking care of my kitties. I wish I could bring her with me wherever I moved next.”

“Didn’t get to meet Brooke but she was accommodating and my dog looked happy in all the photos. Thank you so much for taking good care of Zoey!”

“I had Bella watch my cat, Charlie, for a weekend while I was away. She took wonderful care of him and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Bella was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which I really appreciated, and I came home to a very happy kitty. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for your pet, I can’t recommend Bella enough!”

“Nora was really kind and found some time for a last minute request from me. She’s been extremely responsive and responsible. Anika loves her! Will definitely keep her on my go-to list for the futyre”

“I can’t give her enough stars! Maddie was very professional, met me the night before, interacted with my dog and spent the full 30 min with him for both of the walks. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have been in love with cats and small dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with 4 cats, 2 pigeons, a pittie mix, and 2 small dogs in my home, and immediately adopted my own cat once I moved out. I've been pet sitting across multiple platforms since I was 15. Your larger, active dog loves the fact that I am runner. Your cat and senior dogs love the way they can cuddle up to me while I'm constantly writing. I'm here for the quality time, and here because if I could adopt every cat and dog in the world, I absolutely would. I am excited to bond with your pet and make them feel like someone loving and familiar is still around while you are on your trip away! Excepting the other Rover sits, I work on a contract and freelance schedule, so my schedule is relatively flexible. Shoot me a message and let's see if we can make it work. Even if I'm fully booked, go ahead and reach out and I'll see if I can squeeze you in. One might say I'm obsessed with cats and dogs. I tend to bond easily with animals since my priority is keeping each pet comfortable in their own routine and home. Communication is huge for me - I care to pick up on your pet's cues. I have compassion for the signals, and know when to give space, and how to comfort. I love caring for small sensitive dogs. Small is not less to me. I'm small. I really care to coax them into feeling calm and safe.

“Holly made herself available a couple of times when I needed help unexpectedly. She responded quickly and Anika was well exercised after their walks.”

About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet experience, I have developed a deep understanding and profound love for animals of all kinds. My journey began with adopting my first dog, a lively mixed breed, which ignited my passion for animal welfare. Over the years, my home has been a sanctuary for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and even reptiles (upon occasion). I work from home most of the week, so I have a flexible schedule to meet the needs of other working professionals that are looking for a reliable, passionate pet sitter to take their fur babies on walks (or runs) while keeping them within their familiar environment. Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to welcome any pets in my house. I have fur babies of my own that I do not wish to upset their home life.

About: I am Cat and Dog First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross, Certified Pet Expert (CPS-DW), and an active member of Pet Sitters International (PSI). I am currently working on becoming a CPPS-Certified Professional Pet Sitter. Though I am new to pet sitting, I am constantly learning about pet care and safety. Having grown up with pets, I understand they become members of the family. I cared for my sister’s former miniature poodle Sandy and have grown up with various breeds like chihuahuas and a dachshund. Though I do not own pets anymore due to my lifestyle and living arrangements, I miss being around them. My friends told me about Rover and I jumped right in! I offer personalized care, including daily walks and playtime. I ensure your dog feels safe, loved, and well-cared for! As a Certified Pet Expert, I believe in using positive reinforcement instead of negative methods like e-collars or leash corrections, as they can harm trust and lead to aggression. While I'm not a dog trainer and won't suggest how to teach your dog, I'll happily follow your instructions and support your dog's training (: I work part-time and my availability changes weekly, so feel free to reach out for specific dates. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible! While walking your pet, I ensure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, following their preferred pace and routine. I prioritize safety by keeping them on a leash and being mindful of their surroundings. For house sitting, I maintain your pet’s routine, providing meals, playtime, and cuddles. I make sure they feel secure and comfortable in their own home. I also handle light tasks like cleaning up after your pet, keeping the litter box tidy, and sending you regular updates on their well-being. Your pet will feel loved and well cared for while you're away!

“Jose has always shown compassion towards all animals, and he has proven himself as a great caregiver. When he watches dogs, he is sure to give them attention and fulfill every need they have.”

“Jessica is fantastic with pets. While visiting my wife and I she taught my dog to play dead in one afternoon. I have been barely able to teach my dog to sit so this quite the accomplishment. Jessica has always spent time with Downy (My dog). She is patient and kind. My dog absolutely adores the attention. She dances with excitement when she sees Jess. I can only say good things about what I have seen and heard regarding Jess's interaction with animals.”

“Thank you, Jenna! Our spicy pup, Lou, was well taken care of on his walk today! We really appreciated Jenna’s thorough notes. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Jenna to walk Lou again :)”

“Zoe does a great job walking Beth. Beth is a very high energy Blue Heeler that is Deaf. Zoe is responsive to my requests with the areas that Beth needs to work on to help her navigate without the ability to hear.”

“Lena is a wonderful pet sitter and dog walker for our family dog Liesl. We treat our pets like family and so does Lena! Because of her warm, calm demeanor, Liesl was instantly at ease and looks forward to all of her visits. I highly recommend Lena. Stacey C”

“Josh was amazing with my two puppies! He was attentive and followed my directions for each of them perfectly. He has taken care of my pets over a dozen times and I felt completely comfortable trusting him with the safety of my pets. 10/10!”

“My dogs love Anabelle. She is very calm and fun. They especially like her glow in the dark chuck it ball! When I get back from vacation I am a little worried my dogs miss her more than me!”

About: I have babysat my family member’s pets for the last 2 years. I love animals, I have 2 dogs of my own who I love dearly. My Chihuahua is 12 years olds and my Pomeranian mix is 3 years old. I had taken in my Pomeranian mix puppy from someone I know because they couldn’t care for her like she should be and have had her for a year now. Animals have a special place in my heart and I would love to care and love all of them like I’ve known them for years. We can workout a schedule and I could go around what your schedule is like. I do have another job, but I will always be willing to figure things out to helps with both our schedules. I take my pets on walks or adventure to the lake or the park. I feed them 3 times a day and play with them whenever they want to. Right now they currently don’t live with me because I moved down here for school, but that is their usually routine at home. For my clients I do pop in and out to feed and take out their pets and babysit them whenever they are out of town or busy. I make sure the pets are happy and healthy when I check up on them.

“My friend Rebecca is a very responsible individual. I have seen her train her own dog, Parker, with great success. Not only is Rebecca responsible, but she also possesses strong professional knowledge. Her internship at the animal protection center has equipped her with exceptional expertise in this field.”
