“Kate is great! Flexible with schedules. She’s one of a kind where you can rely on taking care of your fur baby. She’s like a second mom to our picky lab. He’s always excited to walking with her. It matters a lot when you feel the trust and confidence that your fur baby is in good hands.”

“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 absolutely love all pets! I spent this past summer volunteering as a dog socializer and walker at Pets Lifeline Animal Shelter. I am comfortable around all dogs, all energy levels, I understand their body language, and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I will dedicate my time to loving them and prioritizing your routine. I also have a pup of my own, a pug, who loves to get out of the house and is always curious! As a UC Davis student, I plan my schedule carefully to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find walk times that work for both of us, and I prioritize being punctual, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs When I'm at your home or on walks, I adapt to your usual routine for your pet and whatever you do to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: I love animals of all types! My first pet sitting experience was at the age of 10 with a very sweet German Shephard, Storm. Over the years I've connected with many a canine, feline, and on occasion, equine family members. It's an honor to be trusted by you, and more importantly your four legged companion to care for them while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and levels of energy. You'll see many pictures of me and my late pup Jude. I had the pleasure of being his parent all 15years he roamed this earth. From potty training, behavior training, grooming and senior care. I've done it all. I work part time in Davis and am home around supper time. On workdays I am able to walk/spend time with your furry companion in the mornings and evenings. I'm available on my days off & the weekends for extended visits or walks. In the evening I'm able to do the same. I live in a small apartment that does not allow cats or dogs. If I am boarding your animals overnight, it will need to be in your home. Whatever accommodations your home has for your pet, I'll happily utilize them to ensure their comfort.

About: I often explore various dog parks, and I like to take my dog to interesting places. I often help my friends take care of their pets, and I enjoy spending time with furry friends. My course load is light this semester, so I have plenty of time to give your pets attention, companionship, and care. My own dog is currently back home, and I miss him very much. I would love to share that same affection and patience with every wonderful pet I care for. I valued your pet's safety and comfort and will carefully follow your instructions and maintain their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and bathroom routines. I will keep doors and gates secure, respect your home, and send you regular photos and updates.

About: I’m a pet owner myself, so I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new. I’m patient and really pay attention to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether they’re super playful, shy, cuddly, or prefer their own space, I’ll let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, litter box cleaning, and lots of cuddles if they want them! I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m available anytime and any day during the summer. I have a flexible schedule, so I can spend plenty of time caring for your pets. For morning visits, please let me know in advance! Pet’s safety and emotions are my top priority. In a client’s home, I will follow the pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I clean up after them, make sure they have fresh water, and provide plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of the home space and always leave it as I found it. If pets are staying with me, they’ll have a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable.

“Sarah was excellent to work with -- communicative, friendly, and great with our girls. They are each 40lbs of energy and not the easiest to control sometimes -- but she worked with them to earn their trust and be their walk leader. Additionally, even though most of the walks were scheduled during a heat wave, zero complaints from Sarah, and she smartly knew to make the sure dogs didn't get overheated by limiting the distance and making sure they had water. Highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a conscientious person to take care of their pets!”

About: We are excellent dog, cat, bird, poultry, reptile, and fish caretakers as we have raised most of these, and a few years ago, we had a thriving Rover business taking care of folks' animal babies. We can take care of medications if your pet needs: We have administered medicine to most of the animals on our list, including oral medication for a rooster and injections for a snake. We have had some experience in training our current dog as a service animal. While we have not had the chance to care for farm animals on our own, we love them and have had experience being around them (horses, sheep, goats, cows, pigs, alpaca). Animals, plants, gardens, farms, and home-care are all in our wheelhouse and are the foundations to our lives. If you are looking to have your fur baby stay with us, we have a large home with a fenced backyard. Our German Shepherd loves to play with other dogs, and we take him and our guests to local dog parks or fenced fields to play ball and or frisbee. We take care of our guests exactly how we want our pup to be taken care of! I work part time remotely and part time I will need to be in the field. What that means is a lot of the time, I will be in the home, hanging with your furry, feathered, or scaly baby, working on my laptop. During the times I need to work outside of the home, my 19 year old daughter (who has been doing Rover with me since she was 11) will give the best care in my place. I have a thriving Airbnb business in my home for over a decade, so I have a ton of experience and mindset on home-care: I treat other folks' pets and homes as well as I treat my own. I make it point to keep my clients connected via photos and updates. If I am providing boarding in my home, our 4 year old German Shepherd will love to play with your pup. If I am providing sitting in your home, then my pup will stay home unless requested for a playmate in your home.

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!

About: I’m a UC Davis Animal Science student who has always loved animals and enjoys caring for them. I have hands-on experience with my own Toy Poodle and have learned professional pet care through veterinary assistant experience and shadowing at veterinary clinic. These experiences have helped me better understand animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of providing attentive care. I keep my calendar updated and always make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’ll communicate with you throughout your pet’s stay and provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Through my veterinary hospital shadowing experience, I’ve learned to recognize changes in pets’ behavior and handle them calmly and carefully. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and routines.

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!

Quinn is so reliable and honestly very trustworthy! She’s been walking my dog for now a little over a week and hopefully she’ll keep on walking her because not only does my dog love her, but I love her too! She always asks questions in case anything is unsure, she’s quick to respond, and she’s very accommodating. For example, today, my door was locked and she couldn’t get in, so she waited and had to deal with the office to unlock the door for her. She’s very professional and like I said, very trustworthy. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat

Su was PHENOMENAL! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, was extremely flexible and professional, and went far above and beyond what I've experienced from any other dog walker. I felt completely confident that my senior pup was in great hands, and I will absolutely book Su again the next time I am out of town. She was also great with my cats, although I'd only booked her for dog walking. She was communicative and had plenty of pictures and updates from each walk. Very impressed!

Michelle is amazing! She really saved the day for me and my somewhat anxious/reactive dog. My dog was too scared to go out with another dog walker leaving me wondering how I'd go to work with my husband out of town. Michelle was so gentle and kind with my dog, and helped me come up with a plan to get my dog comfortable enough with her to go on a walk. Michelle even moved her work schedule around because she knew I was in a bind. Now my dog LOVES her. I get pictures of such a happy dog when she comes to visit. I'm beyond grateful!
