Dog Walking in Cottages South, Davis, CA

About: Coming from a family of dog lovers, it's hard to imagine a life without dogs! I have always had multiple dogs running under my roof and even have two dogs with me at college! With both a neurotic labradoodle and an elderly beagle, I have plenty of experience dealing with a wide variety of behaviors :) I would love to befriend your furry family members! Available full time during the week. I am between clients at my full time job and will be out of work for several weeks (so I am looking to fill my free time :) ) I am experienced with a wide variety of dog behaviors, especially neurotic and elderly pets. I am also comfortable with administering medicine if needed!! (pills, ear flushes, etc)

“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.”

About: I always wanted to have a dog but my current situation does not allow me to do so easily. Thanks to Rover so that I can play with your dog while you need someone to take him or her for a walk. : ) Um.... should I mention I'm currently a UC Davis student with no criminal record? Oh! And I personally have two cats. I am currently a student at UC Davis and usually free during early morning, lunch, or evenings. I can drop by multiple times a day. All fur babies need love and attention. Even though we don’t speak our pets’ languages, they can feel the love from us ❤️ it’s that simple

About: I am a passionate animal lover and obsessed with dogs (and cats)! From pets to dirty work, anything your fur baby needs I'm on it. Of course I'll play with and love on them when you're not around, but I am also happy to do some cleaning to make sure they're safe and sound when you get back home. I can take dogs on long walks, play fetch in the dog park, or give them baths. Litter boxes are no problem, whatever your baby needs! ¡Yo hablo español! I have a lot of schedule flexibility to take care of animals. I have plenty of time throughout the week, and am wide open on weekends and holidays. Feel free to take your trip, work late, or whatever takes you away from home because I got your back. I have a fenced yard at my house and one small dog who plays well with others. I also live close to a park and walk dogs there often. At your house- you set the rules! Wherever you live, I am happy to take your dogs on walks or play fetch with them in your back yard. I can scoop poop, refresh the waters, brush out the undercoat, and vacuum the fur.

About: When I was 9, I got my first dog, and that is how I started to be interested in being a vet and take care of dogs. I’m a UCD Animal Science student. My class schedule is not very busy other than Thursdays for this quarter, so I will be home most of the time other than that. I have 3 roommates (2 are also Animal Science students) who also loves animals and knows how to take care of them and have experiences with pets. There will usually be at least 1-2 person at home always. We have plenty of space for your pet to run around in the house, and a yard which we can be taking the dog out for potty breaks.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover, growing up with pups and now caring for my own sweet dog, Roxy. I know how important it is to have someone dependable and caring looking after your pets, and I’ll treat them like family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or extra snuggles, I bring a mix of reliability and fun to every visit. I can’t wait to get to know your furry friend and make our time together the best part of their day! I work from home and have some flexibility in my schedule. I would love to walk your dog, care for your cat or drop in to visit them when needed At this time, I will not be providing pet sitting in my home. Maybe at another time but for now, I will come to your home to care for your fur babies.

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 have taken care of my uncle dog during breaks since 3 years ago because he went on trips with his family or any other reasons. She is a 14 years old french bulldog, that is still very active and just so lovely. She loves people, always so friendly. Though sometimes she got tired of walking around and want to be held but that is okay and I loveee holding her, more exercise for me I guess. Even though, I don't spend every day with her, it makes my time with her even more precious and I want to cherish it more. But not only for me, I want to always make sure that she's also having a good time, well fed, well hydrated, clean, and loved. So I brought her with me most of the time, going to mall, parks, beaches, etc. I am a full time student and currently does not have any part-time job. I generally spend my time in my apartment. Hence I will be able to keep an eye of your fur baby most of the time. I have a quite spacious apartment with a lot of space in the living room. My apartment is also very pet friendly, it has big area for the dog to walk or we can even walk around the block.

About: I have been taking care of animals for friends and family since I was a teenager. Recently I have been working as a coach at a dog daycare which has given me experience working with and managing multiple dogs at a time of different breeds. I have a wide experience with dogs from young and energetic puppies to older dogs that need a little extra are and attention. I also have experience in dog CPR and first aid so I have the knowledge to help your pup if an emergency arises. I also have lived with a dog that had seizures so I am uniquely equipped to help pups that suffer from them. I work part time, mostly later in the day so I have lots of free time especially on the weekends. I also am in school but most of my classes are online so that doesn’t impact my schedule much. I care for pets by making sure I have them in sight at all times, even if a pup is taking a nap I still try to be near by in case they need anything. I also know to stay around for a bit after eating in case any dogs are eating too fast. I also will keep an eye out when dogs are going potty in case there is any diarrhea or anything like that. My work has equipped me with the skills needed to recognize common illnesses so if I notice anything weird I can contact parents quickly.

“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”

About: I’ve taken care of dog for with more than 5 years. I personally have two dogs in the house which are 10 lbs and 30 lbs, both are low to medium energy. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered senior dogs before for a rescue. For safety reasons, all the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. Walks twice a day, no dog park trips unless owner requests for safety precautions. No human aggression is allowed, any growling/nipping/snapping for no reasons is not acceptable. If your dog is being too stressed among other dogs, I have separate room to place him/her, and he/she will get quality along time with human every day. Pictures and videos will be send out about 5-10 times/day. I’m a recent graduate at UC Davis, and currently WFH all day. I will walk dogs twice a day and give them bathroom break at least 4-5 times every day. I have a fenced yard in the house. All the dogs will be separated when I’m not at home for safety purposes. Anyone being too stressed will have a separate room for resting.

About: Hi! My name is Tenaya! I grew up around animals and now I have a cat named Gnocchi. I worked as a veterinary assistant for three years, so I'm comfortable with animals of all ages and I'm capable of administering medications. I can also take care of aggressive or anxious dogs, and I’m happy to help reinforce good behavior for pets in training. I also have experience taking care of a range of exotic animals from working at an animal sanctuary. As someone who works from home, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I can usually adjust my work hours to make time for your pet and their needs. I can also generally accept same-day bookings, especially for drop in visits or walks. As someone who has worked with animals for several years, I understand that each pet is unique and may require special care and attention. I really love animals and will do my best to care for your pet as you would!

“Emme was wonderful! Our heeler can be temperamental sometimes, but Emme came over a few days before and met her, and Piper loved her! She sent pictures and was very communicative! We will definitely be using her again!!”

About: Hello, I have always been an animal lover since visiting my Grandma's farm as a kid. My first job for that I held for 4 years in High School was at a Vet hospital, where I fed, cleaned, walked, cared for and groomed the boarding dogs and cats. As an adult, I have loved animal watching/walking for friends and family. As a volunteer, I fed and cleaned the farm animals at a non-profit ranch for autistic children. I work full time in the medical field and enjoy being active so I am excited to get outside for walks and visit your pets on my days off. I am no able to own pets where I live, so I would love to be able to care for yours. Thank You, Megan I am available multiple days a week to walk and drop-in care for pets. My work schedule changes each week but I am able to scheduled services a week in advance. I would care for a pet at a client's home. I do not have a yard but would be happy to travel to the pet's home to socialize and make sure that they are feeling safe and comfortable.

“Sorry for cancelling this week McKenzie. Hope to see you soon.”
