“Wendy is amazing and her experience with dogs immediately shows! I was a little nervous as Lucy had never been walked by anyone other than us. I loved the pictures and videos Wendy sent showing Lucy was thoroughly enjoying her time out. We did not hesitate to rebook Wendy for recurring walks!”

“Scott was kind to accept a last minute booking. He was prompt and kind! He took our dogs out for a walk around the neighborhood and they loved him! Thank you!”


“If you’re looking for a wonderful friend for your dog during these crazy pandemic times, look no further than Teri! Our girls love her to death, and she has been absolutely amazing during the quarantine, taking every safety precaution (gloves, shoe coverings, social distancing handoffs outside the house). We absolutely love Teri!”
“Louise is great! She takes extra care of our 60 lb pit /lab mix puppy. She is very knowledgeable of animal care and its very cognizant of individual pet needs. She’ll send you photos/videos of your pet upon request. Will be booking again soon!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for over 10 years. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, feeding routines, walks, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently don’t work but I am enrolled in college so I have flexible availability during weekdays and weekends for boarding, walks, and drop-ins. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment. I have a fenced yard and closely supervise pets at all times. I follow instructions carefully and can crate pets if needed.
About: I am here because I know how important it is to provide your pets quality care. I want your time away to be as convenient and stress free as possible. I know it can be difficult finding the right care and I am here to ease that worry while reassuring you I have experience and knowledge to provide quality care. I strive to keep your pets routine and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I'm here to communicate with you and commit to you and your pets. I see myself as a form of extended family, as such I genuinely care and provide quality care. I had owners that needed me to care for special needs and request one on one care or special needs can be accommodated sometimes with additional fees but most often with the regular rates. I am able to do introductions with other animals or keep separate depending on pets temperament and owner preferences. I've taken care of pets, including my own since I was a young child. I have cared for all types of pets including cats, dogs (of all sizes) and other animals. I have experience with senior animals and puppies and have pet sat, been a dog owner and fostered. I have experience with multiple breeds and we prefer to make your pet feel at home as much as possible, so you can be at ease while away. I work from home and pets are provided care throughout the day. I know it can be hard to find someone you feel comfortable with taking care of your pet so I am to not only take excellent care of your pet but for you to rest assured your pet is in great hands. I have a fenced yard, as well as a space if you have a pet that needs to be confined or crated. I am happy to discuss needs and try to work out to make your pets stay as pleasant as possible. I ask that you provide all the things your pet is used to including schedule/ routine if you keep one so that their time away is comfortable and seamless.

“Natalie was great! She has great energy, handled my strong and enthusiastic dog expertly and patiently. She is an excellent communicator and my dog thinks she is awesome!”

About: I have recently started sitting for a family friends dogs. I am very reliable with walking, feeding and naturing. I have worked with senior dogs as well. I currently work from home so I have more time to take care of pets. With free time during the weekends as well. I would be able to take the animals out 2-3 time during the week on breaks. I care for pets as if they were my own—providing love, attention, and a safe environment tailored to their needs. Whether in my home or yours, I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and exercise requirements to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“Shang is great! I always feel so comfortable and happy having her pick up and walk my pup! He always has a great time! 🐾 Shang always sends picture and text updates and is very thorough:)”


About: With 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I treat every pet like a member of my own family. I've cared for both kittens and puppies under a year old, as well as senior dogs aged 10 and up. Staying at home allows me to dedicate my time and attention to your furry friends, just like I do with my own beloved dog. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I'm like a pet concierge, but instead of booking spa days, I'm giving belly rubs, playing fetch and going on walkies. I am very flexible and can watch/ walk your pets from daily and on weekends. Depending on my availability I can care for your baby up to a week if needed. After walking your pets, I usually ask where and how you would like me to leave you pets at home whether it be their crate, just in home or outside in their yards. For caring at my own home for your pets be rest assured that they will be receiving the upmost attention and no leaving their side as I stay at home and care for my own pup who is 1.
“Raquel was a real treat to meet! She was great with my dog, Molly and was patient with my constant scheduling modifications. Raquel is very punctual with the times I selected and walks through the door at that time. Not a moment to soon or a moment too late. I am very pleased with Raquel's professionalism. I have found Molly's walker!”


About: I personally own a 3 year old cocker spaniel and 2 cats! I’ve had pets my whole life! I hope you can trust me with yours and meet you soon! I am self employed full time but hours are not always stable so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m always available nights! With a notice in advance I’m available at any time! I have a two story place and my fur baby is very sweet and gets along with other dogs just sometimes shy! I live right across from a park so we often walk there and play or walk on the path next to the park depending on what the pets are feeling!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life (cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, reptiles, and more) so I’m pretty comfortable with all kinds of pets and personalities. I have a cat of my own and am very much the go-to auntie for a lot of other cats and dogs. I love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and a little spoiled while you’re away. I'm off work through mid-May, so my schedule is pretty open right now. Something consistent is always easier to plan for but I will do my best to be as available as possible! My cat is an indoor only cat at the moment. We do have a fenced in courtyard in our apartment that's rather spacious and shady as well!
About: Hi, I’m Victoria! I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. My first pup was a fun-loving Maltese, and now my fiancée and I have the sweetest 10-year-old golden retriever who is incredibly patient and friendly. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs—playing, walking, cuddling, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pup, and I promise to treat them like family! Whether they need extra belly rubs, long walks, or just a cozy place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’m experienced in handling different energy levels and personalities, so whether your dog is playful or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll tailor our care to their needs! I’d love to meet your baby and give them the attention they deserve! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’m happy to chat and see if we’re a great fit. My partner and I work 4-5 days of the week. Between the 2 our schedules, we are available to care for your pup all week since we have different days off! 😊 We live in a home and have a fenced yard. It’s a small backyard with no grass but it works and we find ways to still have playtime back there when weather permits! We are comfortable with crates if your dog is crate trained. And we will make sure they feel safe with all their own things. Our golden retriever has anxiety and has had trust issues with other dogs if he feels scared of them. He has been boarded with sitters and other dogs before (he also has many dog cousins), it just takes him an hour to warm up. We will always make sure the introduction and adjustment period is as smooth as it can be. Our dog has a corner in our room he feels the safest and he goes there on his own when he feels overwhelmed. We know how to read his emotions and we know we can balance your dogs emotions too!
About: Please look through my photos to get a bit of me in a snapshot! I have had pets all my life and I’ve been housesitting since I was 16 years old in high school. Now I’m a 27 year old Davis graduate who is still eager to help out with furry family’s in the community. I used to work with cats, and I have two of my own now, so I have quite a lot of experience with them. I had dogs growing up, and I've been taking care of other's dogs for the last 11 years. I have experience with oral medication for both dogs and cats. I have a bit of experience in pain management medications and scheduling. I have experience with anxious dogs and older dogs ranging from small to medium-large. I am often a busy person, so for me the most important aspect of working together is communication and honesty. If I feel like I can’t provide the services you are looking for, I will let you know quickly and truthfully. I know how scary it is to leave behind your pets and I want all of my clients to know I have their best interest in mind when booking. I am currently between jobs and taking a couple of online courses so I have a fully open and flexible schedule. I live in Davis and have my own cats that I attend to and love on, but I am also helping foster cats with my friend in Sacramento. I am comfortable in both Davis and Sacramento, and I spend a lot of time in both. I can always adjust my schedule to try and work something out that works for you and your pet. I have a fenced in yard and two cats that generally stay out of the way when a new friend is around. I live with one other person that is also very welcoming and friendly with new animals. We have plenty of places to explore with a decent sized backyard and 3 nearby parks. If I'm providing care in your home, simply explain what you're looking for and I will do my best to accommodate, or be honest if it's not something I can manage. Overnights and drop-ins should not be a problem as long as I can also drop in on my animals.
Northgate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amina was great! She responded to my request quickly, was punctual and proactively communicated. My grand dog warmed to her immediately and they had a great walk. She also helped me navigate the Rover app since I’m old - lol. I highly recommend her for walks and if I lived in the Sac area full time, I would use her regularly. She gave me peace of mind knowing he was well cared for. She was professional and personable and I can’t thank her enough!

Andrea is amazing. I had a logistically complicated day, coming through Sacramento from 1.5 hours away for a doctor appointment and then continuing on for the last two hours of my trip. I'd never met her so I was worried about all the chances for something to go wrong. But everything was *perfect*. First, Andrea was amazing about staying in touch, and answered questions quickly and cheerily. She was extremely flexible, and even showed up a bit early so I'd had no reason for anxiety. My pup Willie loved his time with her and her boyfriend. It couldn't have been a better experience. Thank you, Andrea!

Tyson was immediately accepted by our dog, Chance. Then he only needed to hear the walk and feed instructions once, so keeping Chance inside of his routine as much as possible and providing us with peace of mind. Really happy with Tyson and grateful for his natural way with animals.

I have a small breed senior dog and a cat. Its hard to find someone I feel I can trust to give them the same care and attention as myself when I am away from home. Natalie is someone I know I can trust my babies with, she takes a bunch of photos each time she walks my dog and feeds him. She goes above and beyond every time and I can tell my dog and cat absolutely adore her and are happy when she comes to help. Thank you Natalie!

Payton has been a really good match for Maddy. She’s consistent, communicative, and clearly puts real effort into the walks. I appreciate that she makes sure Maddy gets good mileage while still being mindful of things like weather and pacing—especially since Maddy tends to go all in. The updates are also really helpful. I feel very comfortable having her take care of Maddy.

Lila was wonderful. At the meet and greet, it was evident my dog Gracie really loved her. Lila followed the plan that I left for her taking Gracie for her favorite walks in the neighborhood. Lila sent me pictures of Gracie everyday that I was gone as well as the Rover report card which was really reassuring. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that Gracie was in such good hands. I would definitely book her for Gracie again if I needed to be away in the future.
Paula is wonderful with my dogs. She has that calm, grounded energy that my reactive pitbull loves and trusts. She checks in regularly with photos, and my dogs are always happy and relaxed when they come back from walks with her. I highly recommend her, she’s reliable, punctual, calm, and truly a dog person.
