It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being, and I came home to a happy, relaxed cat. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Rayna is a wonderful dog sitter. Not only did she have a 13 year old Pitt bill she took care of at home but she would go out of her way to babysit an additional set of dogs for another family during their family trips. She is very responsible and loves all living creatures especially dogs. She would be a great addition to Rover.”

When one of my cats managed to chew through a bag of dry food I had left out and made a mess, she quickly informed me, cleaned it up, and put the bag out of reach. Lauren kept me updated with regular photos. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such loving hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

Isabelle is incredibly responsible and respectful, and her genuine love for animals truly shines through in her interactions. In the past she has taken wonderful care of my dog, and I was so impressed by her trustworthiness and attention to detail. Knowing my furry friend was in such capable and caring hands provided immense peace of mind. Beyond her excellent pet care skills, Isabelle is simply an amazing human being. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly dedicated, look no further than Isabelle!”

“Amreen is nothing short of caring, attentive, friendly, and amazing to my two cats when I needed them to be cared for!

“Mario is a responsible trust worthy student with a passion or animals like no other. Mario grew up taking care of his two younger sisters since the age of ten while his mother work. He eventually added a cat to the mix. He's currently in undergrad working toward becoming a vet and it was dream since he would force us to the Zoo at 5 years old. He is someone you only need tell once, and he'll get the job done. Hiring Mario would be the fantastic choice and I couldn't rave more!”


15. Samantha B.
About: I’ve had pets for all of my life including, cats, dogs, birds, and more. Now that I am working remotely I have the flexibility to help with your pets in the Davis area. I would love to fill my days with more animals! I am a responsible, caring, reliable, and attentive person that would love to help you with your beloved animals. I work remotely fully time so I am very flexible during the week! Anytime 9am-6pm should work with me for pet care, whether that be a walk, feeding, in home stay, or just a check in. I am open to overnight stays as well. I currently do not a have a space to welcome animals, which is more reason why I’m missing being with animals throughout the week in the Davis area.


16. Maddie L.

“Maddie has taken care of our kitty several times and is a wonderful sitter! She always sends detailed updates and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. When we need a Rover I always check for Maddie first--she is the best!”


17. Tingrui H.
“My friend Rebecca is a very responsible individual. I have seen her train her own dog, Parker, with great success. Not only is Rebecca responsible, but she also possesses strong professional knowledge. Her internship at the animal protection center has equipped her with exceptional expertise in this field.”


18. Jessie B.

“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!”


19. Saylor I.
