About: I am a owner of two maltese dogs and understand the hard work and care necessary for keeping a pet. I am a trusted and involved pet sitter in my family/friend circle. From Lovebirds to active Huskies, I have looked after them all! The key characteristics that I am qualified with are patience, attentiveness, communication, and attention to detail. Additionally, I am a second year Animal Science major at UC Davis. Many of my courses involve hands-on animal handling and husbandry knowledge. I understand that pets are family, and it's essential they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested in my pet sitting or dog walking services. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I'm currently a full time student. I work my schedule around classes each quarter. During this Fall quarter I am primarily available Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 4:00pm. I am also available for mornings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7am - 12pm. Weekends I am flexible and open! My apartment is a peaceful, pet-friendly haven! We’re right next to green spaces and the arboretum, making it ideal for long, relaxing walks. Although I share the space with three roommates, we are all dog lovers who maintain a quiet, calm lifestyle. For in-home pet sitting I aim to keep your pet relaxed in their familiar space. I maintain a low-key routine, ensuring your home stays quiet and your pet receives dedicated attention, regular outdoor exercise, and consistent care. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and a relaxing place to feel right at home.

“Michelle was great and super accommodating. We last minute had to extend our pup's stay by a couple days and she was happy to keep her. Michelle sent pictures regularly and kept us updated. I will absolutely bring our pup back to her and would recommend her to anyone looking for doggie care.”

“Negin helped us out with a last minute booking and it worked out wonderfully! She is prompt and thoughtful and most importantly, took great care of our little dog! We are so grateful to have found her. Highly recommended!”

“Highly recommended Achara for your fur babies. She took our dog tucker on short notice so that I could go back home for the holidays. Tucker can be very timid when meeting new people, but he adjusted well and they treated him as their own. I was provided with daily updates and pictures of how he was doing. He came home happy and tired from playing so much! Thanks again, Achara!”

About: ⸻ Hi, I’m Darya — your pet’s new best friend. 🐾 With over 16 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter, and a background working in a veterinary clinic, I bring a deep understanding of animals and their needs. Whether it’s a playful pup, a senior cat, or a nervous rescue, I care for every pet with patience, love, and a whole lot of heart. Animals have always been a huge part of my life — they’re not just pets, they’re family. I pride myself on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pets feel comfortable and genuinely cared for. Whether you need daily walks, overnight care, or just someone to keep your furry friend company, I’m here to help — with experience, kindness, and plenty of belly rubs. Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. With over 16 years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking — and a background working in a veterinary clinic — caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. I’ve shaped my schedule around being there when your pets need me most, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays. I approach each day with patience, reliability, and a calm energy that animals respond to. Your pets’ comfort and well-being are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In your home, I always respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s routine — from feeding schedules and walk times to their favorite toys and nap spots. I create a calm, familiar environment so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I offer a cozy, clean, and peaceful space where they can relax, play, and enjoy lots of one-on-one attention. I carefully introduce them to the space and tailor everything to their individual needs — whether that means quiet corners, slow-paced walks, or plenty of playtime. No matter the setting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.
About: I am experienced with caring for all kinds of dogs. I have access to many dog parks and walk them up to 5 times a day. I adapt to the pet’s needs to give them the best care. I have a golden retriever (6 mo.) and a labradoodle (10 yrs). My golden (Sunny) is super friendly and loves to make friends! I ensure that your pet’s needs are met and they have the highest form of care. I’m a junior at the University of California, Davis. I have a flexible schedule with my course work that allows me to be fully engaged with the dogs in my care. I live in a gated community so pets can’t easily get out. I take my puppy on long walks at the Davis Arboretum and have a dog park where I live which ensures they are getting their exercise and playtime. My apartment is clean for health safety. If I am staying at the owner’s home, I will apply the owner’s directions.
About: 12+ years of animal sitting (primarily dogs but also cats and small critters!) Currently volunteer at an animal shelter (very experienced and comfortable with animals on many different behavior levels) I am comfortable walking, running, feeding, playing, training, cleaning and more for your pet! I love all animals and would love to help out where I can:) I only work part time so I am pretty available to taking care of your pets whenever needed! I can do daily check ins or sitting- whatever you and your family wants. I have a fenced yard and a friendly gentle dog if you’re boarding with me, but I can also housesit and care for both your pets and your home!
“I highly recommend Pandi and her husband Tim. They both work from home and we’re very attentive to the details of my dog’s care. Their two school-age kids and little dog Scruffy made for a fun, active stay. I appreciated the photos and updates too.”

“Jennifer was awesome as always! I trust my pet baby with her. This is his 3rd visit with her. This was his second overnight stay, this stay was for two days. My boy is blind, takes insulin shots twice a day, a very old senior. I always worry about him when I’m away, but with Jennifer I can relax and enjoy my vacation. Thank you Jennifer. 🥰”
“Yifang was able to board Todd on short notice. She was friendly and her place was clean and secured. Todd was relaxed even though it was his first time there, and he had a great stay at her home. Yifang kept me updated with pictures and messages! Five stars for her.”

“Zariyah took great care of Lena. She was helpful, responsive, flexible, and provided all of the love and attention Lena needed. Zariyah has a great yard which Lena enjoyed running around in with the other pups, and she went out of her way to make sure Lena was comfortable. My dog came home happy and worn out from all the fun. I'd highly recommend Zariyah for any pet-sitting needs. I won't hesitate to book with her again.”

“I needed a last minute sitter for my pup and luckily Martha accepted my request. She did a meet and greet the same day I submitted my request and asked a lot of questions about the care and schedule for my pup which made me feel reassured. During the stay Martha was very responsive and gave frequent updates with pictures and videos which I appreciated! When I picked up my pup she was very happy and healthy! I would definitely book again!”

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.
About: Hello! My name is Morgan, and I’m an experienced dog mom and pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up in the country surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. During college, I fostered dogs and regularly pet sat, which is actually how I found my own dog, Tana. I’ve enjoyed it so much that we decided, why not expand to Rover? I truly believe that pets are apart of the family and I will care for your pup like they’re one of my own. I have a very flexible schedule and me and my partner, Brandon, are home everyday. This gives us plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and medication routine.
About: Hi! We are Camille and Daihong, a husband and wife team who would love to welcome your pup into our little family! I grew up with a dog and have been around dogs for most of my life, while Daihong became a first time dog dad when we got our Mia. Now he might be just as obsessed with dogs as I am, if not more! 😂 We are currently raising Mia our super sweet doodle, and she absolutely loves people and other dogs. She is playful, social, and always excited to make a new friend, so your pup will have a built in buddy during their stay! As dog parents ourselves, we know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your baby with someone else. We will treat your dog like one of our own with lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, walks, and probably a little extra spoiling. ❤️ We are also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and send plenty of pictures and updates so you can relax knowing they are safe, happy, and having a great time. Our goal is for your dog to feel like they are having a little vacation of their own while you are away! 🐶🏡 I work from home Monday through Wednesday, and Daihong works from home full time, so someone will always be home with your pup! Our days already revolve around caring for Mia, so walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention are a normal part of our daily routine. We have lots of flexibility and are happy to accommodate your dog’s usual schedule as much as possible. We live in an apartment, so we are best suited for small to medium sized dogs who are comfortable in an apartment environment. We take Mia out regularly throughout the day for walks and potty breaks, and there is a dog park right across the street that we love taking her to for some extra exercise and playtime. Mia is very friendly and loves both people and other dogs, so your pup will have a built in buddy during their stay! Since Daihong works from home full time, someone is usually around to keep an eye on the pups and give them plenty of attention. We are also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and crate routine so they can feel as comfortable and at home as possible. ❤️
“Both were super sweet. Kind energy. My little guy was so happy when I picked him up. So I know I left him in good hands. Received a video of him on a walk and a pic of him lounging while I was away. Super thankful for them! Can't wait to have them watch Roscoe in the future”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Davis
This was the first time I boarded my (75lb) dog at someone’s home and I was terrified. From communication exchange, Zia was everything I wanted in a dog sitter but felt we were NOTHING that she would want from a pet in her house. We met for a meet and greet in a park and immediately Milly jumped on her (gleefully) and I thought it was the end. It was only the beginning. Zia interacted with my dog in a warm, reassuring way and projected that to her small kids who also were very easy going. Read her profile. It is exactly who she is and she is more than those words. I felt so comfortable leaving her there in her care- with her animal experience and knowledge, she easily managed the dog and I’m not sure Milly was altogether thrilled to come home after all the attention she received. Zia is a treasure to have on your side to care for your beloved partner pet.

Alexandra was an amazing sitter for our 3 month puppy. She communicated with us throughout our time away and helped us feel at ease on how our little guy was doing. When we picked up our little puppy, she told us some great tips on his mood and temperament to help train him better which we’ve applied to great success.

Alayna took such good care of my girl! She was available on short notice for a holiday weekend which was really appreciated. This was my dog's first time staying in someone else's home as opposed to a boarding facility and Alayna made her feel so comfortable, and kept me updated with pictures. When I picked her up I could tell she had a great time while I was away.

Emily and her family took great care of Finn the week we were away. I know they all had a great time because of the video clips and photos she shared and that Finn conked out as soon as we got home. Emily is easy to stay in touch with and didn't hesitate to let us know when she had a concern. I have no hesitation leaving Finn with them and am glad we found them!

Bosco had a wonderful time with Akio (oh, and Angela and her family were pretty cool, too). He enjoyed the walks, the dog park, the constant company and wrestling with Akio - the icing on the puppy cake was the crunchy homemade sweet potato treats (I'm jealous myself). 10/10, would book again :)

Nayzeth took amazing care of my dog Elvis! She texted me pictures and updates every day! I could tell that she. really cared about my dog and wanted to do anything she could to make sure that he was happy while he was with them. I highly recommend Nayzeth when considering a sitter for your pets!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Davis is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $79 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,587 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Davis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Davis can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Davis home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Davis.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Davis sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
