“Elise did a fantastic job watching our elderly, very particular dog. He normally is very scared of strangers, and will sometimes not go outside for walks with sitters. Elise did a great job of gaining his trust and getting him out! She was very accommodating, and on time.”
“Amy took great care of our dogs while we were away. She worked with me on the drop-in schedule to ensure the least disruption to their normal routine. I appreciated the Rover cards and photos from each visit. And being responsive when I checked in. Thanks, Amy!”
“Jessica is truly one of the nicest people I have met and my kitty loved her and the care she gave. She addresses every question thoroughly and is great with accommodations. I highly recommend her!”
“Zoe is great! Our dog Jackson is high energy and can be difficult, but Zoe handles him confidently and with care. We feel comfortable going out of town knowing that Zoe will check on Jackson while we are away.”
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 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.
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: 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: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Raised on a farm and on a pre-vet track from a young age, I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds—from house pets to livestock to wildlife. Starting at 14, I volunteered in local vet clinics and wildlife rehab centers, gaining hands-on experience with everything from cats and dogs to peacocks, horses, goats, snakes, fish, birds, and cattle. At UC Davis, I deepened my care skills while working at the world-renowned Vet Hospital, tending to cats and dogs during the swing shift. I also worked with campus goats, pigs, sheep, fish, cattle, and horses—and even fostered cats for the hospital. Now in my 30s, I’m an education professional and dedicated pet mom to both cats and dogs. I continue to care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets with the same compassion, attention, and responsibility that’s guided me my whole life. I’m certified in Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/AED/First Aid, and have emergency care experience with animals large and small. I’m calm under pressure, reliable, and always communicate clearly—your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm currently taking a break from teaching, and being a full-time stay-at-home mama to my 2.5 year old daughter. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member. Please note that at this time, we are seeking families whose pets are comfortable around toddlers and children. I have a fully fenced yard, and a park just around the corner from my house for those whose furry friends enjoy a stretch, walk, or playtime! I am comfortable using a crate, and we have plenty of floor room in the house (carpet and laminate) for them to lay down if they're not crate trained. We do not allow dogs on the furniture. Cats are allowed to wander the house. We are more than happy to put up child gates to keep your furry family member in certain areas of the house if they're prone to getting into things (such as stuffed animals for the kiddos... I mean really, a lot of doggie toys these days look so similar! I'd understand the misconception. lol) We're not afraid to be firm but kind if your family member needs set boundaries.
About: I have taken care of animals all of my life! I am a proud owner of two guinea pigs and have 3 dogs back at home. I also have experience with cats. I am an Animal Science major at UC Davis, so I am very passionate about all kinds of animals! I am a student at UC Davis taking one Summer class this summer so my schedule is flexible. I am available every single weekday as well as weekends. You can count on me to take the best care of your fur babies and treat them like they were my own. I am very communicative, good with directions, and responsible. If needed, my house has a fenced backyard that is great for playtime needs!
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.
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!
About: I just graduated from UC Davis and I am looking for more opportunities to apply my animal behavior skills. I have been working at the UC Davis Vet hospital for 2 years and have been pet sitting since I was 12!! I have experience with walks and home visits. I specialize in long walks to tire out those crazy pups! I am free every week day and Saturday at anytime! There are some weeks in the month where I participate in Field Research on birds, so may be gone at certain times. I can usually work around your schedule and what your pet(s) may need! I am capable with dealing with large or small dogs and can easily handle their different energy levels. I like to send pictures and write down our daily activities if you decide to choose me for overnights or check ins. For our walks I can tell you the routes I may walk on and if there are areas, people, or dogs you’d like me to avoid or be closer to! I will care for your pets as if they were my own!
“Olivia was so sweet with our doggies! I loved the videos/photos she sent. Incredibly responsive, attentive, and caring with our pups. Grateful for her to care for our dogs again :)”

“Zia has years of experience caring for a wide range of animals. As an undergraduate of UCD, she helped care for domestic and farm animals, in the hospital and on the farm including cats, dogs, cows, sheep, goats and many other species too numerous to list here. She is trustworthy, knowledgeable and will provide safe, loving care for your beloved pet as she has over the years for our pets. I write this testimonial on her behalf without reservation.”

Mia H.
“I’ve had the pleasure of trusting Mia H. to care for my three dogs, and I can honestly say she is one of the most loving, responsible, and attentive pet sitters I’ve ever met. Mia has a natural way with animals — she’s gentle, patient, and always attentive to their needs. My dogs absolutely adore her, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her caring hands. Mia goes above and beyond to ensure that my pets are happy, safe, and well-loved, and her excellent communication and reliability make her an outstanding choice for pet sitting or dog walking. She genuinely cares about animals and treats them like family. I can’t recommend her enough — any pet parent would be lucky to have her caring for their furry friends!”

Olivia R.
“Liv is a responsible, passionate, and professional caregiver for animals! I've known Liv for ~2 years now and have seen her interact with animals (including my 2 dogs) in a variety of circumstances, and I have the utmost confidence her ability to care for them. Liv has experience not only with dogs and cats, but also with other domestic animals such as chickens. In addition, she has a degree in Animal Science and has excellent knowledge of how to ensure the welfare of animals she cares for, including their physical health and mental stimulation. I would highly recommend Liv as a pet sitter, walker, or house-sitter and trust her to keep my precious pups safe and happy!”

Grande pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bella was a wonderful cat sitter! She was incredibly sweet and responsible while taking care of my cat, Mochi. She kept me updated with regular messages and adorable pictures, which helped ease my mind while I was away. I could tell Mochi was in great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! :))
Nathaly was a wonderful sitter! She is very caring about our pets and was more than willing to accommodate my needs for my pets. I am very appreciative of her care and she kept wonderful company for both my pets throughout my trip away. Very attentive to my rabbit and my cat and would love to recommend her to future pet sitting seekers. Thanks again for your wonderful care.
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!!
Elisha was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Simba and Sushi, followed all of my detailed instructions perfectly, and kept me updated regularly. Both kitties warmed up to her, and it was clear they received plenty of affection and attention during her visits. My home was well cared for and everything was perfect when I returned. I highly recommend Elisha and will definitely book her again!
Nicholas was amazing with our 3 cats and they all loved him! He went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and was very communicative during our trip. He is very good with animals and a trustworthy sitter. We would love to have him look after our cats again in the future.
Noel was amazing with my puppy and older cavalier. She was patient with my mouthy puppy and made them so happy while I was gone. She was also very good at communication! I only had her for a short visit but I look forward to (and so do my two dogs) hiring her again!!!
