Dog Walking in Evergreen, Davis, CA

About: I have a ton of experience working with a variety of dogs, ranging from puppies to senior, lazy to high maintenance, etc. My life revolves around my pets, and I am eager to share that passion with yours. I have a lot of experience with senior care as well-my pup requires a lot of at home treatments in her final months of life. I'm currently a PhD student, getting my degree in animal welfare, so I have relatively flexible hours. I don't have a set work schedule, so let me know what works best for you and I can likely work around that :) my day to day already revolves around my pet, and has for basically all of my adult life. I have a fenced yard, fully baby-proofed house, and pet-experienced roommates. My cat is my only current pet, and he is good with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.

“This was my first time ever using Rover or hiring a dog walker and Nora was AMAZING!! She was so wonderful with my senior lab and flexible with her needs. Thank you for taking such great care of her while I was away!”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 17, spent the night at houses with animals, provided walks, food, baths and playtime. Many clients have asked me back. I have worked with both cats and dogs. I also grew up with cats and dogs and know how to care for them well. I am currently on summer break here in Davis with a pretty open schedule. Please reach out and we can coordinate a time that works with both of us! A clean and safe environment that is comfortable for both the animals and myself. Has parking, preferably fenced for extra safety, neighbors who are willing to communicate with me.

About: I have been watching sweet fur babies since I was in grade school. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and giving lots of attention to my customer’s furry friends. I promise to treat your fur baby like my own and I can’t wait to meet you! I work part time so I can walk and care for your pets regularly, giving them all of the attention they need in the morning, midday, and night. I am very detail oriented so I will be able to give your pet quality care as well as ensure they are safe in their environment. I have my own dog and want to treat every pet the way I would want others to treat my Daisy Duke.

About: With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and volunteering at the YCAS shelter in Woodland, I offer a level of knowledge and calm that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, and dog-reactive pets. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that’s energetic play, gentle walks, or giving medication. Your pet will be treated like my own. Pet care is my top priority right now, and my schedule is wide open! I’m currently extremely flexible for drop in visits or walks throughout the day. I love making sure pets get consistent care and attention, no matter how busy your routine may be. I treat your home and your pets with total respect and care. During walks and drop-in visits, I always keep your pet’s safety and happiness first by using positive reinforcement, keeping a close eye on surroundings, and following your care instructions exactly. I’ll send updates, photos, and videos so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing. My approach is gentle, responsible, and tailored to each animal’s comfort level.

“Faith was amazing! She walked my dog and did such a great job, my pup absolutely loved her. She’s reliable, friendly, and you can tell she really cares about animals. I’ll definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life — I have 3 dogs and 2 cats now, and I’ve raised everything from ducks to horses. I grew up with dogs, hatched and cared for ducks, and worked as a ranch hand, so I’m confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or farm animals, I bring calm energy, patience, and lots of love. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time during the week to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. I don’t offer boarding, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I know how important it is for animals to feel safe and relaxed in their own space, and I’ll make sure their routine is followed, their needs are met, and they get plenty of love while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and the years of hands-on experience I’ve had caring for them. I grew up in a pet-loving household where caring for dogs (and other animals!) was part of daily life—from energetic puppies to aging senior dogs who needed extra patience and care. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all temperaments. Whether your pup needs long walks, medication, or just some belly rubs and companionship, I bring both knowledge and heart to the job. I treat every dog as if they’re my own and take the time to understand their unique needs and personalities. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities—and I’ll always keep you updated with photos, messages, and peace of mind while you’re away! I currently have a flexible, remote position, and am happy to work around the schedule of others! Let me know what your pets' needs are, and I am sure I can work it into my schedule :) My top priority is making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved—whether they’re in my home or I’m in theirs. I adapt my care based on each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk times to special care like medications or crate training. I know how important consistency is, and I aim to make your pet feel like I’m just part of the usual routine. I also make sure to keep the space clean and respectful—your home is treated with the same care I’d give my own. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, welcoming space that’s pet-friendly and safe. I ensure dogs have plenty of time for exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. I limit exposure to unfamiliar pets and follow any special requirements—whether that’s slow introductions, quiet spaces for anxious pups, or keeping to a strict medication schedule. Above all, I give pets the individual attention they deserve and keep you updated regularly with messages and photos so you feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles! Old or young I’ve done it all! Grooming, medication, no worries for me! During my time in the military I also had training with military K-9’s! So if you have a slightly more aggressive dog that may worry you for scheduling a pet sitter, I’m your guy! M-W-F (Overnight or late Evening) T-Th (Late Evening) Sat-Sun (Anytime) Please do let me at least 1-Day in advance prior to cancellation for adjustments, Thanks! I have a completely closed off section that my little babies have for their own pleasure and comfort, no interactions between them and your pet!

About: I’ve been lucky to spend most of my life around animals - growing up with three amazing dogs gave me over 15 years of hands on experience, and I now have two sweet cats of my own (one of whom has asthma, so I’m also experienced with administering medication using an AeroKat). I love spending time with animals and believe in meeting each one where they’re at - whether that means a high energy walk, some playtime, or just quiet companionship. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and routine. Whether you're out for the day or a longer trip, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule to stop by and care for your pet during the day - also available for overnights. Happy to follow instructions on how to care for your pet's specific needs - available to help with medication and have experience working with asthmatic cats.

About: I grew up with a bird and dog, and a cat was recently added to the family (I do not live with any pets currently). I backpack trained the cat, made toys and fortresses for the cat, took the dog on walks and hikes, whistled to the bird, and gave all the animals as many pets as I can! I've additionally done lots of pet sitting over the years for friends and family: cats, small dogs, medium dogs, rats, mice, aquariums, and insects. I don't mind reptiles either! I have a flexible schedule, spare for Thursdays when I have class (but still available for evenings after 6pm). I am willing to wake up early or stay up late for the job. I make sure to take things slow when needed in order to prevent stress for the animals. I keep a consistent schedule for feeding and cleaning. And I try to engage with the animals as much as possible when they are up for it. There is a tendency to be more easy going but I amp up the energy for playtime and walks. I like to walk in general, so I can go far for those higher energy dogs!

“Sterling is great. Our husky mix loves taking walks with her. Sterling is prompt and communicative.”

“Alex has been amazing with our nervous and fearful German Shepherd puppy. She took her time and was very patient with our dog, offering positive reinforcement and making little steps every day. Only after a week, Nova was in love with Alex and is always happy to go on walks with her. I highly recommend Alex!”

About: All of my life I have been a lover and owner of all animals both big and small! I have been house/dog+cat sitting for roughly 5+ years, and I have thrived off of building connections with each new pet. Whether it’s for multiple weeks, to months, I have pet sat it all! I have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ages, and ones who need special care. I would love the opportunity to care for yours as well! I am a student at UC Davis, and I have realized I have a good deal of free time on my hands. I would love to fill it with spending time with the things I love most, animals! My family has over 10 dogs that come to each family gathering, and I miss it very much while I am away! I’m so ready to meet your beloved animals!! I will treat every animal with as much love and care as I give to my own! I will be able to give them all of the attention they need to keep them happy and healthy.
