4. Jaimie B.

“I had the pleasure of having Jaimie as my home sitter for my cat and dog, and she was absolutely amazing! Jaimie was incredibly attentive and patient, taking great care of my pets. She even went above and beyond by providing basic training for my dog without me even asking. Jaimie's genuine concern and love for my pets were evident in every interaction. She also took the time to organize and tidy up my home to create a more comfortable space for them. I am incredibly grateful for her dedication and thoughtfulness. I can't thank Jaimie enough for the exceptional care she provided. Her attention to detail and the way she genuinely cared for my cat and dog exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a reliable and compassionate Rover sitter, I highly recommend Jaimie. She deserves nothing less than a five-star rating for her outstanding service. Thank you, Jaimie, for everything!”

“Marcella is a family friend that has helped take care of our pit bull and chihuahua combo for over ten years now. They love her like family and are always excited when she comes over. She is reliable, prompt, and keeps constant communication while we are away. She's especially good at making sure the dogs have enough potty time so accidents in the house are minimum to none. We absolutely adore her!”

12. Nicole W.

“Nicole was wonderful with our Aldo!!! She is a true dog lover and cared for him as if he was her own. She was also extremely flexible, when we had to ask her to come 6 hours earlier than the original scheduled start time!! Nicole made sure our boy had fun, got his allergy medication, and stayed busy to keep him from missing us too much which we so appreciate!! We will 100% be booking Nicole again ??”


13. Cat N.

“Cat was amazing with our 3 dogs! She was able to walk all of them together and she sent tons of pictures and videos so we knew they were in good hands. She was very communicative in letting us know what her schedule would be each day and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a house sitter for their dogs. Thanks, Cat!”


14. Alexa Y.
About: I grew up with pets (dogs, cats, exotics) my entire life and quickly took on the responsibility of caring for them at a young age. This passion led me down the path of pursuing Veterinary Medicine. Throughout high school I volunteered at my local animal shelter and also independently studied dog training. Through the use of positive reinforcement I have successfully trained my own two dogs as well as friends' and family members' dogs. During my undergraduate years, I was a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital in Southern, California. There I learned technical skills such as administering vaccines, collecting blood samples, and giving oral and injectable medications. I am currently a first year vet student at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, where I’m continuing my journey to help animals live healthier, happier lives. Whether it’s walking, training, or giving your pet a little extra TLC, you can trust they’ll be in knowledgeable and loving hands with me. I am currently a first year veterinary student, so everyday I have a combination of lectures and labs. However, my schedule tends to fluctuate a lot and for the most part provides me flexibility. I am free most weekdays and weekends -with proper notice- for dog walking, pet check ins, house sitting, etc. I am well versed in dog and cat behavior and training. I am comfortable tailoring to your pets usual routine and comfort level. My goal is to make them as comfortable as they are when you are home!


15. Daniel N.
“Daniel is reliable, caring, and professional. He has taken care of my dog and cat consistently for the past 3 years and never fails to treat them like they’re his own. He keeps constant communication with me so I don’t ever feel guilty about leaving my pets, and they are always happy and healthy when I get back home. I can’t recommend him enough!”


16. Cassandra M.
About: I have owned a few dogs in my lifetime and as of 5 years ago I started caring for my neighbors’ dogs all throughout Davis! I typically stay the night and give them playtime in the backyard or walks.. whatever is needed, I’m there. I have experience with administering oral medication to dogs. I’m a recent UC Santa Cruz graduate with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and I’m currently looking for wildlife technician jobs as well as applying to grad school. I’m a part time caregiver at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I make sure to ask all the right questions in case of emergency and for the comfort of the pets. I like to get written lists of everything that needs to be done while the owners are away, this helps with any clarifying questions I may have!


17. Daniella H.

“Dani was so sweet and great with our dogs! She played ball with them in our backyard. She sent us photos and updates daily. When we got home our house was cleaner than we left it! Definitely recommend Dani.”


18. Carla T.

“We asked Carla to dogsit our golden doodle this weekend. She did a fantastic job from start to finish. Carla came.to our house to meet Teddy and become familiar with her personality. Carla communicated with us through out the weekend, updating us with pictures and short texts. It is common for Teddy not to eat while we are gone, but because Carla made her feel calm, she ate the first evening Carla came. Carla left our home clean and in order. We highly recommend her to you and will be calling her in the future.”


19. Elana J.
About: Raised among animals in Costa Rica, I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds caring for each with love, including those with medical needs and special attention. I am experienced in dog bathing and I am dedicated to giving compassionate care My schedule is fully open and flexible, allowing me to provide your pet with the time, attention, and consistent care they deserve whenever you need. As someone who’s grown up with animals of all kinds, I bring real, hands-on experience to every pet I care for. I’ve had pets of all ages—puppies, seniors, and those needing daily medication—so I understand how to meet a wide range of needs with patience and love. During pet sitting, I stick closely to their routine, offer fresh food and water, regular walks, lots of affection, and a calm, clean environment. I also provide overnight care for pets that need extra comfort, and I’m experienced with dog bathing. I treat every animal like family—because that’s how I’ve always known to care.
