“Jiajie was SUPBERB! She gave outstanding care to our puppy! Our puppy had a fantastic time with her (and her sweet dogs). Her communication, while we traveled overseas, was top-notch!!! She was beyond the best- highly highly highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

“Marissa was both professional and easy going, the perfect combination for a 2-week home stay with our cat and dog. I picked Marissa due to her experience in vet school since we have a senior dog. After our initial meet and greet, I knew she'd be a good fit. Marissa sent updates and photos but we also felt the freedom to focus on our trip knowing our pets were in good hands.”

About: I currently work for VipPet care as a veterinary clinic assistant and have experience working in doggy daycare environments. I also volunteer at the shelters in Sacramento and have been volunteering at other shelters for the past 5 years. I have also taken care of many animals throughout my life, including dogs (all ages), cats, turtles, hamsters, fish, and rabbits. Through these experiences I have learned to work with animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on finding a way to communicate effectively with both pet and parent to find what works best for everyone. Working with animals has been the most fulfilling experiences I have ever had. I absolutely adore all animals and I would love to help you out with your animal needs. I work as a vet assistant three times a week, so animals are part of my daily routine. This means I have plenty of time during the week to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and any special needs to make sure each pet gets the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow all instructions provided by the pet parent, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication, and preferred routines. I will take time to build trust with each pet, whether it’s through gentle play, regular walks, or just keeping them company. I maintain a clean, calm environment and give each pet plenty of attention, love, and care. Communication is also important to me, I will provide updates and photos so pet parents feel reassured while they’re away. Working in the vet field has given me experience giving oral and injectable medications if needed as well.
“Mira watched our 2 girls for 8 days over Thanksgiving! She was great and took amazing care of them while we were gone and sent a few photos and updates! Would rebook again in the future and recommend to friends and family!”
“Audrey was incredibly communicative in specialized instructions for my anxious dog! She was very caring of all the pets, and I would absolutely recommend her for any pet sitting services.”


About: I have experience pet/house sitting for friends, family, and coworkers and am looking to expand my service! I am attentive to specific house/pet needs and take care in my work! I typically work 10 -5, so my mornings are very open for long walks! My schedule is generally very flexible and I can normally come and go to walk or care for pets midday when requested I grew up in a family with 1-3 large dogs at a given period and am very accustomed to dog care (walking, feeding times, routines, meds) I am also a very mindful pet/house sitter. I always make sure to follow specific instructions and care for individual pet needs. I am a good communicator and easy to reach by phone while house/pet sitting
“Negin was an excellent cat-sitter - prompt, responsible, attentive to detail, a good communicator with cats and humans alike. She immediately vibed with our eccentric kitties and won their trust. We returned to happy cats and a clean house. Many thanks, Negin!”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs at all stages of their lives! From birth to old age, I have bottle-fed and waned puppies, kitten sat, as well as administered insulin shots and oral medications to older cats and dogs. One of my kitties now also takes an oral pill twice daily, so I also have some experience giving cats pills :). I am a full-time student who just moved to Davis! I have a flexible schedule, meaning maintaining strict feeding or medication times should be no problem! I make sure all water sources are clean and replaced regularly, food bowls and cans are rinsed/washed immediately to avoid lingering smells, and do a quick walk-through of the pets' spaces to make sure your fur baby(s) didn't get into things they weren't supposed to. I also love plants, so in my own home, i keep them watered and check regularly for if there are new chomps in them and would be very happy to do the same for you if that is at all a concern :). And, of course, I offer plenty of play time with the kitties!
“Adelaide did an amazing job watching over our dog and cat! We were away for 5 days on vacation and Adelaide made it easer being away from them for so long. We knew they were in good hands!.. Will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I’m currently a 4th year wildlife fish and conservation biology major at University California Davis, on the wildlife health tract. I am hoping to go to veterinary school and have a wide range of experience primarily in horses, dogs and cats, as well as some reptiles such as leopard geckos and chameleons! Ive done veterinary clinics with UC Davis which has given me more in depth knowledge on canine and feline behavior. I am also on their foal team. I have experience with giving injections to both reptiles, cats, and dogs so If your pet needs any extra care, I will happily do so. Im Outgoing and love going on new adventures with my cats and dogs. This past summer, I went to Africa for a zoological and veterinary medicine internship (without either of my pets) but it was an amazing experience. Besides school, I have grown up my whole life with multiple cats, reptiles, and small rodents; and recently in the past eight years have adopted two large dogs (a Berner and a maremma sheep dog). I’m looking forward to meeting your furry family :) I currently have wide gaps between my classes at school, which will allow me to spend a lot of extra time caring for your pet. I currently have a cat of my own who I dedicate all my money and time to. She’s my baby. I currently just have my cat at school who has many toys to keep her occupied when I’m not at home. But when I am home she’s constantly on my lap and getting cuddles. I will do the exact same out of my own home as well, all furry friends deserve some snuggles. I am also completely comfortable with crating or moving your pets to their desired space for the day or evening
“Meredith took great care of my 3 boys while we were off island (1 dog,2 cats). I came back to a clean house and she even took my dog on his morning walk the morning we arrived back so I could go straight to bed after flying all night. My boys said they were very well taken care of and had a fun week with their new Auntie Meredith!”

“Mya took great care of our dog and house while we were away for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures daily and it was very easy to communicate with her both before and during the stay. Highly recommended!”

“Alyssa is great. I can always trust her to take care of my senior chihuahua. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy with your special doggos, I highly recommend her”


“Thank you Megan for caring for Quin! We appreciate your promptness, excellent communication, and love for our mutt (who after 12 years is still learning to show love back).”

“Great cat sitter from start to finish. Nayzeth followed all instructions perfectly, provided consistent updates, and clearly understands cat behavior as she does have 2 of her own. Boots, who is usually shy, warmed up quickly, which says a lot and everything was neat and tidy when I returned.”

“Suhani is such a wonderful person. She was active with our two dogs, walking them daily and was flexible and helpful when our travel plans got delayed. We came home to a clean house and she navigated our backyard project, sending us updates all the while dealing with not having a yard for the dogs to go out in. I highly recommend Suani, though we’d like to keep her for ourselves.”

Cottages North pet parents share their Rover experiences
Chrissy went above and beyond when house sitting our energetic and mischievous 13-month-old golden retriever/Siberian husky mix for one week! She is very experienced with all kinds of dogs, is reliable, and gave regular updates. Thanks so much for your time and diligence Chrissy!! Would highly recommend her!

Mehma was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our dog and cat, along with our home while we were away. Really appreciated how responsive she was too, checking in with photos of our pets throughout the day. We’d be lucky to have Mehma pet sit for us again!!

Nora was amazing with my two pitties! They are still working on some of their manners and have some weird quirks but Nora seemed to handle them perfectly and sent lots of pictures of them snuggling and hanging out which I love to see when I’m away. I felt comfortable that they were in good hands and will definitely be booking with her again in the future :)

This was the second time Carey house sat for us and took care of our puppy dog Lily. She is absolutely amazing with Lily. She makes it so easy to be away on a trip/mini vacation without worry or stress knowing that my dog and house are being taken care of. We are so thankful we found her. I highly recommend her.
