Dog Walking in Central Davis, Davis, CA

“Esmerilda is an absolutely fantastic person and cares immensely for our dog. She has been our weekly dog walker for a little over 6 months--Our dog is a rescue and was quite difficult in the beginning, but Esmerilda has done a lot to help train and rehabilitate her. She also has done house sitting for us. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with their dogs.”

“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.”

“My dog enjoyed walking with Nikki!!”

“This was my first time ever using Rover or hiring a dog walker and Nora was AMAZING!! She was so wonderful with my senior lab and flexible with her needs. Thank you for taking such great care of her while I was away!”

“I hired Hanna to watch my two dogs for a week. I have two huskies that love to go on long walks and play fetch. She came to my house twice a day to provide them with food and water and a potty break. Additionally, she took them to the park to play with them daily. She was a responsible and reliable pet sitter and I would definitely hire her again!”

About: I’m a responsible high school student with hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, a 9 year old Vizsla and a 1 year old Yorkie. I’m comfortable with large, active breeds and small dogs that need gentle care and attention.

I’m reliable, detail oriented, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m available to provide pet care on weekday evenings and weekends, with flexible hours to fit your schedule. I’m reliable and punctual for all appointments. During summer and school breaks, I have even more availability and can offer longer visits or overnight stays. I’m happy to coordinate with you to make sure your pet’s needs are met consistently and on time. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making safety my top priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I keep their environment clean, comfortable, and secure.

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!

“Sofia is a good friend of mine and a trustworthy person. I’ve spent a lot of time around her and can tell that she is passionate about animals. We are both hardworking students interested in being around animals during the school year.”

“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!”

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.

Anytime 9am-6pm should work with me for pet care, whether that be a walk, feeding, in home stay, or just a check in. I am open to overnight stays as well. I currently do not a have a space to welcome animals, which is more reason why I’m missing being with animals throughout the week in the Davis area.
