“Carey did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated on his activities, shared several pictures, and made sure he was well looked after. She also took good care of our home, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to book her again in the future and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
About: I previously worked at a small animal clinic. I have extensive experience working with small animals of all breeds/sizes/temperament/energy-level. I have cared for both senior dogs and pups. Experience administering oral medication. I mostly work full-time, but my hours are flexible. I am always available for morning/afternoon walks/jogs. I work through the university, therefore, I am available on holidays and weekends! I have a lot of experience caring for friends/ family pets. I am open to sitting in both my own home and clients home, all depending on client/pet comfort ability. I do not have any pets of my own, but I do have the supplies (bed,bowls,treats,poop bags,etc) ready for when they are needed!
“Olivia was awesome! Thank you!”
“Clara house sat and watch our labradoodle for 5 days and did a fantastic job! Walter was happy and healthy when we arrived home and the house was in excellent condition. Several of our dog-loving neighbors got to know Clara and really liked them. We highly recommend Clara and have absolutely no reservations in hiring them again! :-)”
“Rachel was great! We have a Saint Bernard and 2 cats and they loved her. She sent us photos while we on vacation and gave us regular updates. This was the first time we have left our pets with anyone, and Rachel was very respectful of our pets and our space. We were very apprehensive about hiring a random person to care for our pets, but the second we met Rachel we were put at ease. Rachel asked us questions about the care of our pets that we hadn't thought about, which gave us the confidence that she knows what she doing. She is amazing and we will definitely rebook with her.”

Devi sent updates and pics, so we were able to enjoy our weekend without worries.”

About: I have taken care of animals all of my life! I am a proud owner of two guinea pigs and have 3 dogs back at home. I also have experience with cats. I am an Animal Science major at UC Davis, so I am very passionate about all kinds of animals! I am a student at UC Davis taking one Summer class this summer so my schedule is flexible. I am available every single weekday as well as weekends. You can count on me to take the best care of your fur babies and treat them like they were my own. I am very communicative, good with directions, and responsible. If needed, my house has a fenced backyard that is great for playtime needs!
About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs since 2009 with various experiences with my personal pets and many other family members pets. My uncle used to be a K9 police dog trainer and has many personal pets. Through him, i've been exposed to various sizes, mentalities, and activity limits. My experiences with big dogs like Great Danes and intelligent dogs like Belgian Malinois give me the confidence to handle any pets! I also have experienced dogs that can be easily spooked and might produce scary looking body language, allowing me to handle de-escalation while respecting the pet. Overall, I have seen all types of dogs and am equipped to give your pets a fun experience! I am currently working a day shift on UC Davis campus but can be available after 4:30pm on weekdays and anytime works on the weekends! I can take care of pets in a clients home by providing treats if allowed and using the environment of the clients home to entertain their pet. I won't be able to care for pets in my own because I don't have proper space, but I can walk them around the neighborhood!

“My dog, Max, had such a good time with Tiali! She was so excited to hang out with him and it made me feel super comfortable and relaxed leaving him with her since I knew he was having a good time.

Having taken care of so many pets she is great dealing with all types of personalities and energy levels. Dogs quickly and easily warm up to her, and she is quick to understand their feelings to let them know they are under good care. Her care and love towards dogs make Celia an amazing pet-sitter.”

My dogs absolutely adore her, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her caring hands. Mia goes above and beyond to ensure that my pets are happy, safe, and well-loved, and her excellent communication and reliability make her an outstanding choice for pet sitting or dog walking.

Elise L.
“Elise is very responsible and punctual. She is a quick learner and has excellent common sense. She is level headed in a crisis and very kind. Elise has been an excellent pet sitter for our two dogs. She is able to meet our younger dog's high energy needs by walking him and playing with him. She is also able to cater to our older dog who is grumpy and doesn't like to go out and potty. I highly recommend Elise!!”

Central Davis pet parents share their Rover experiences
Daniella did an incredible job watching our puppy for 8 days. She was great with our lab and kept the house clean and backyard clean. I highly recommend her.
Carey was fantastic; very diligent, caring, professional and kind. Our puppy was in great hands! Will definitely book again
Nikki was incredible with our two dogs, one of whom is very slow to trust- Nikki went out of her way to make sure that dog felt safe with her before we even left. Our house was also so well taken care of, and she sent lots of updates! Thank you so much, Nikki, for taking such good care of our fur babies. Will absolutely be rebooking in the near future!!
Yessel is wonderful and so loving and attentive. I would highly recommend Yessel to care for your pets as I definitely will have her back. I have a cocker spaniel that can be shy and little Ellie warmed up to Yessel almost immediately. I felt assured that my dogs would be well cared for and looked after. Yessel was terrific about pictures and sending notes about their day. Yessel is a blessing and I highly recommend 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sydney took the first part of a longer dog care stint when a friend took over the responsibility of Anika. Smoothly transition and both the house and my pup were in great shape after her stay.
She was so attentive, kind, and helpful! She checked in many times and provided great photos and updates. My cat really liked her and felt comfortable with her! She did a great job not only caring for my cat but also going above and beyond doing tasks I didn’t ask her to do like cleaning my apartment, which was so thoughtful! She even gave her a little present at the end :) Would definitely recommend!
We came home to a happy dog and clean house, couldn't ask for anything more! I'd recommend Kate for house and dog sitting.
Negin was an amazing pet sitter for my Lily. It’s always so hard to leave a pet when going away and it makes all the difference in the world to leave them in the hands of someone who is trustworthy and compassionate and Negin is definitely both of these! She genuinely cared about getting to know my cat and meeting her unique needs, she was super communicative and sent photos without me having to ask for them, and when I got home I could tell that Lily had been in good hands. Negin is dependable, caring, and has an innate knack for being with animals. I recommend her highly!
Elana was great with our dog Winnie! She was very communicative and responsible and sent lot of pictures. Winnie seemed to like her a lot, which made us comfortable leaving her in Elana’s care
Emme stayed at ny house for 4 nights while I was out of town. She took time to learn about my dog and his habits during the meet and greet. She asked questions and took notes. During her stay, she arrived on time, checked in often and gave me updates regularly. She is very attentive and asked questions that came up that we had not discussed. I felt my dog was cared for. I would recommend her and consider using her services again..
We were so lucky to have Diane caring for our dog aquarium pets, and home for our 10 day vacation! She shared lots of updates and patiently won the dog's heart. She even worked on some training goals!
Nicole was great with the dogs. She gave updates with pictures and was responsive when I contacted her.
Valorie was great! She communicated with me well, sent pictures, and was honest. My pups seem led to have a good time :) Sh is so nice and genuine and took such great care of the house too.
Ashley was wonderful! I highly recommend her. She did such a great job with my little dog. She was timely, trustworthy, a great communicator, and best of all my dog loves her! Thank you, Ashley!
We were visiting from out of town and needed someone to watch our puppy at our hotel—and Kendall was amazing! She was punctual, kind, and clearly experienced with young dogs. Our pup was calm and happy when we returned, and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated her flexibility and professionalism. Highly recommend if you live the area or visiting like us and need a trustworthy sitter!
Anna was wonderful! She spent lots of time with the pets and went above and beyond to make sure everything was as I’d hoped. Will definitely rebook!
Kira did a great job watching our puppy who is very high energy so can be challenging. Kira was very communicative and responsible.
Emma was AMAZING with our Zoe. We were gone for 12 days and I never at any point worried that our very spoiled Chihuahua was very well taken care of during the entire time we were gone. She updated up us with pictures and the numerous walks and adventures they embarked on due to the time we were away. When we returned, the house was left clean and we could not even tell she had stayed at our house the entire time. Zoe was sorry to see her go as I am sure she was a warm lap and with constant petting, a devoted person who lavished attention on her.
Joon was fabulous! The house was clean; animals were well-fed, exercised and chill. The real give-away was that my old puppy usually goes into a frenzy when I return from a trip - so overjoyed to see me. This time she said she missed me, but not terribly. That speaks volumes for the care she received from Joon. Same with the kitty. Many stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
