“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Sparrow, Haze, and Champagne. I was able to enjoy my vacation with peace of mind. All instructions were followed, and you my cats were in good hands. I would recommend.”

About: I grew up around dogs, and always knew I would want one of my own. I finally adopted my beagle rescue mix, Busy, three years ago! Being a dog mom has deepened my love for all creatures and I value any time I get to spend with all types of furry friends! I have experience with puppy training, administering medications, senior care, and more :) I am a graduate student at UCD currently on summer break! My research schedule is very flexible so I would love to come care for your puppy anytime of day :) I am happy to come take your dog for a mini adventure, hang out at your house, or anything in between! If your dog would enjoy a furry friend, my dog can tag along or she can stay at home. I have experience with crate training dogs, walking/playing with reactive dogs, puppies, and elderly dogs.
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. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered before for a rescue. I’ve also been providing boarding service for my friends with at least 6 dogs, pictures are included in my profile. All the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. I’ve successfully taking care of 5 dogs at one time including two puppies. 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 reasons, dogs will stay in the crate when humans are not around but they can be on furniture once humans are presented.
“Jenna took great care of our cat. She was considerate by giving notice before she came to the house, and sent many pictures in her update. I would book Jenna again and would recommend her as a pet sitter!”
About: Since I was 5, I've cared for a variety of family pets including cats, rats, turtles, and dogs ranging in size from miniature Pomeranian to Great Dane. In the past few years, I'm proud to have been the dedicated cat- and dog- sitter for my roommate and friends. I have experience with all ages: I'm no stranger to teething or to diapers and pills. I'm so excited to meet your furry friends! I currently work part-time, so I'm free nights and most mornings, and I have some weekdays off. I'm happy to work with you and your pet's schedule to make sure everyone is happy! Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are my top priorities. While no one can replace you, I do my best to keep things as familiar and comforting as possible while you’re away. Let me know your routines, preferences, and any special quirks! I'm here to keep your pet feeling secure and loved until you're home again.
About: Hi! My name is Tenaya and I'm currently a graduate student at UC Davis. 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 also have experience taking care of a range of exotic animals from working at an animal sanctuary. As a student, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I can usually create availability during the day, depending on your pet's needs. 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!
About: I grew up in multi dog homes with large and small breeds (a Lab, a Weimie, a GSP, and 2 frenchies). I have PLENTY of experience walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up after, and interpreting body language of dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs in every life stage including puppies and seniors. Having a dog of my own hasn’t been feasible since moving to Davis for various reasons but I miss having furry companions! I’ve been getting my fix by walking and sitting for my friends and coworkers as well as volunteering with the “Barks and Rec” program at the Bradshaw Animal Shelter. An awesome program where shelter dogs get some much needed time out of the shelter and in front of potential adopters. The German Shepherd (named Dexter) in my profile picture was my last dog through the program and we had a lovely time walking along the American River. I work full time as a researcher in the agricultural biotech space. My hours are a bit flexible but usually hover around the 9am-4pm range. On weekdays, I’d be available for drop in visits/walks in the morning before work and in the afternoons after work. If necessary, a lunchtime visit may be feasible. Weekends are very flexible! You know your pet best! I’m most comfortable following your tried and true routines and rules so you and your pup can feel comfortable and at ease knowing I’m caring for them exactly as you would.
“Jessica was the perfect sitter for our cats! She exceeded all of our expectations and was very kind. We will certainly be requesting her again.”
About: I always wanted to have a dog but my current situation does not allow me to do so easily. Thanks for Rover so that I can walk your dog while you need someone to take him or her for a walk. : ) Um.... should I mention I'm a working professional with no criminal record? Oh! And I personally have two cats. I am 100% working remotely so usually free during early morning, lunch, or evenings. If it’s close to home, I can also 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
“He was super well taken care of. Very happy boy. Booked last minute and had no issues”
“Jessie is wonderful to have as our pet sitter! She communicates well and was so great with Oslo. She is totally trustworthy and we will definitely be calling upon her again!”
“Sierra is everything you could ask for in a sitter and more! She is thorough, caring, and responsible. I would trust her with my kitties any time. They all love her and that is a testament to her patience and warm energy. Everything I asked she did above and beyond and I’m so grateful to have found her!!”
“Michaelle was so patient and flexible with my changing schedule! My cat also looks very happy to see her in the pictures she sent while checking on him!”
“Came for the first time on very short notice and made sure everything was taken care of, I'm really glad she could stop by while I was out of town!”
“Esmerilda was wonderful. My cat is very shy yet she took to Esmerilda right away. She was able to medicate my cat Jess twice a day without issue. I also got updates regularly both messages and pictures. I highly reccomend her.”
“Emme was lovely with our dog and overall a delightful person to interact with!”
“I recently hired Brooke to cat-sit for our beloved feline, Nacho, and I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. She was attentive, responsible, and showed genuine care and affection towards Nacho. Brooke went above and beyond to make sure Nacho was well-fed, entertained, and had a clean environment. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Five stars!”

“I couldn't be more grateful to have found Ashley through Rover. From our first meet, it was clear that she is trustworthy and compassionate. Both of my fur babies immediately felt comfortable with her, as did I. Ashley goes above and beyond to ensure my pups feel safe, loved, and cared for. She's a natural with animals and gives me total peace of mind knowing my dogs are safe with her when I’m away. I recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter.”
