“Carey did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated on his activities, shared several pictures, and made sure he was well looked after. She also took good care of our home, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to book her again in the future and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
About: I previously worked at a small animal clinic. I have extensive experience working with small animals of all breeds/sizes/temperament/energy-level. I have cared for both senior dogs and pups. Experience administering oral medication. I mostly work full-time, but my hours are flexible. I am always available for morning/afternoon walks/jogs. I work through the university, therefore, I am available on holidays and weekends! I have a lot of experience caring for friends/ family pets. I am open to sitting in both my own home and clients home, all depending on client/pet comfort ability. I do not have any pets of my own, but I do have the supplies (bed,bowls,treats,poop bags,etc) ready for when they are needed!
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.

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.
“Alyssa is great. I can always trust her to take care of my senior chihuahua. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy with your special doggos, I highly recommend her”
“Devi was great. We’ve already booked with her again! Devi was very responsive when booking. We were impressed by how professional she was when she came over for a meet-and-greet. Most importantly, she handled our easily overexcited, enormous dog perfectly—she was calm, let him set the pace, and he quickly relaxed with her. Devi sent updates and pics, so we were able to enjoy our weekend without worries.”
About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs since 2009 with various experiences with my personal pets and many other family members pets. My uncle used to be a K9 police dog trainer and has many personal pets. Through him, i've been exposed to various sizes, mentalities, and activity limits. My experiences with big dogs like Great Danes and intelligent dogs like Belgian Malinois give me the confidence to handle any pets! I also have experienced dogs that can be easily spooked and might produce scary looking body language, allowing me to handle de-escalation while respecting the pet. Overall, I have seen all types of dogs and am equipped to give your pets a fun experience! I am currently working a day shift on UC Davis campus but can be available after 4:30pm on weekdays and anytime works on the weekends! I can take care of pets in a clients home by providing treats if allowed and using the environment of the clients home to entertain their pet. I won't be able to care for pets in my own because I don't have proper space, but I can walk them around the neighborhood!
“We got introduced to Esmerilda through a mutual connection and from the moment we met her we knew she’d be a great fit for our felines! As an aspiring veterinarian, Esmerilda has great attention to detail and is confident in handling pets with special needs or complicated medical demands. We had her house/pet sit for us for 10 days while we were out of the country and never once did we have a worry about how things were going. It’s great that we have found our best friends’ new best friend!”

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 am a student at UC Davis school of Veterinary medicine with training in behavioral modification, emergency medicine, and general animal health and wellness. I also have experience with exotic pets such as birds, reptiles, and small mammals. I am currently out of school on break so I can be very flexible with scheduling. I am willing to make check in trips or stay overnight. I have one pup of my own who lives with two other dogs. Our pups have 24 hrs access to a back yard and get plenty of attention and all the toys they could possibly wish to chew.

Elise L.
“Elise would be a great sitter. She is playful with our dogs and is always welcomed by them when she visits. Their wagging tails and excitement to "go for a walk" is always a fun time. She brushes their fur and plays catch with them for long periods of time in-between cuddling and walks. Elise is great with dogs. She's been a friend to our fur-babies for.over almost 15 years. We have two dogs (Sequoia who turned 15 & Juniper who is 5 years old) who have benefited from the care and Love Elise has shown them. Thanks for your time. Woof! -Jaime”

Sarah H.
“Sarah took excellent care of my dog Peanut. Peanut's a senior dog and she was patient with his needs, and responsible with his medication that he'd needed at the time. Sarah has petsat for me multiple times, and every time Peanut has wanted to stay with her longer!”
Carla T.
“Carla was great again during her second stay in our house with Sherlock! She sent pictures daily and followed all instructions on how to care for our big pup.”
Xander A.
“Xander will make an excellent sitter for all pet owners that are lucky enough to hire him. As a fourth year vet student and dog and reptile owner, Xander has lots of experience at providing excellent care for his and other animals. He not only understands the importance of husbandry, but he has the clinical wherewithal to notice when they express abnormal behavior and show clinical signs. Xander grew up in Tulare, cow capitol of the country. So, he has experience with large animals and rambunctious animals too, like the Queensland Heelers, that his father has bred for decades. He is a calming presence and is also very respectful of other people and their property. I could not recommend another friend above Xander amongst all of my friends in Davis at the moment.”
Daniella H.
“Daniella did an incredible job watching our puppy for 8 days. She was great with our lab and kept the house clean and backyard clean. I highly recommend her.”

Yessel is wonderful and so loving and attentive. I would highly recommend Yessel to care for your pets as I definitely will have her back. I have a cocker spaniel that can be shy and little Ellie warmed up to Yessel almost immediately. I felt assured that my dogs would be well cared for and looked after. Yessel was terrific about pictures and sending notes about their day. Yessel is a blessing and I highly recommend 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
She was so attentive, kind, and helpful! She checked in many times and provided great photos and updates. My cat really liked her and felt comfortable with her! She did a great job not only caring for my cat but also going above and beyond doing tasks I didn’t ask her to do like cleaning my apartment, which was so thoughtful! She even gave her a little present at the end :) Would definitely recommend!
Negin was an amazing pet sitter for my Lily. It’s always so hard to leave a pet when going away and it makes all the difference in the world to leave them in the hands of someone who is trustworthy and compassionate and Negin is definitely both of these! She genuinely cared about getting to know my cat and meeting her unique needs, she was super communicative and sent photos without me having to ask for them, and when I got home I could tell that Lily had been in good hands. Negin is dependable, caring, and has an innate knack for being with animals. I recommend her highly!
Emme stayed at ny house for 4 nights while I was out of town. She took time to learn about my dog and his habits during the meet and greet. She asked questions and took notes. During her stay, she arrived on time, checked in often and gave me updates regularly. She is very attentive and asked questions that came up that we had not discussed. I felt my dog was cared for. I would recommend her and consider using her services again..
Joon was fabulous! The house was clean; animals were well-fed, exercised and chill. The real give-away was that my old puppy usually goes into a frenzy when I return from a trip - so overjoyed to see me. This time she said she missed me, but not terribly. That speaks volumes for the care she received from Joon. Same with the kitty. Many stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
Carla is a dependable, loving and trustworthy person who has blessed our family twice with her care for our animals. Our dog loves Carla more than us! She has spent the two weekends at our home while we were out of town and everything went perfectly. She even cared for our 8 hens this time, collecting eggs and feeding them each morning. If you have the privilege of receiving Carla's Rover services, you will not regret it.
This is my second time having Elsa take care of my kitties. Last time, she only took care of Clay, but this time around, she also took care of Oreo, my new kitten. She was attentive and caring. Both my cats have very different personalities and she was respectful of them. Oreo particularly enjoyed having Elsa’s company. She was affectionate and took the time to play with him. I am happy with Elsa’s services and I will rebook her in the future.
Jasmine stayed one night in our house while we were away for the weekend, to feed and care for our mostly outdoor cat. She is a friendly, personable young woman who loves cats, and she was sweet and sensitive with our shy cat. She communicated well over the weekend, sending several photos and keeping us updated about when Maggie was in and out. We’d be happy to have her stay again; she’s even willing to be “on-call” to come over on short notice when our daughter goes into labor!
