About: I am a owner of two maltese dogs and understand the hard work and care necessary for keeping a pet. I am a trusted and involved pet sitter in my family/friend circle. From Lovebirds to active Huskies, I have looked after them all! The key characteristics that I am qualified with are patience, attentiveness, communication, and attention to detail. Additionally, I am a second year Animal Science major at UC Davis. Many of my courses involve hands-on animal handling and husbandry knowledge. I understand that pets are family, and it's essential they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested in my pet sitting or dog walking services. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I'm currently a full time student. I work my schedule around classes each quarter. During this Fall quarter I am primarily available Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 4:00pm. I am also available for mornings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7am - 12pm. Weekends I am flexible and open! My apartment is a peaceful, pet-friendly haven! We’re right next to green spaces and the arboretum, making it ideal for long, relaxing walks. Although I share the space with three roommates, we are all dog lovers who maintain a quiet, calm lifestyle. For in-home pet sitting I aim to keep your pet relaxed in their familiar space. I maintain a low-key routine, ensuring your home stays quiet and your pet receives dedicated attention, regular outdoor exercise, and consistent care. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and a relaxing place to feel right at home.

“XingYuan was great!! All the updates with pictures and videos were awesome & I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her & happy! Will use her again in the future.”

“My dog did wonderfully with Kirsten! I've tried a few different boarding options and Kirsten is by far the best! She sent a daily update to let me know how it was going and was very quick and responsive to communication about both pickup and drop off times. I will certainly be using Kirsten again for my boarding needs.”

About: I am experienced with caring for all kinds of dogs. I have access to many dog parks and walk them up to 5 times a day. I adapt to the pet’s needs to give them the best care. I have a golden retriever (6 mo.) and a labradoodle (10 yrs). My golden (Sunny) is super friendly and loves to make friends! I ensure that your pet’s needs are met and they have the highest form of care. I’m a junior at the University of California, Davis. I have a flexible schedule with my course work that allows me to be fully engaged with the dogs in my care. I live in a gated community so pets can’t easily get out. I take my puppy on long walks at the Davis Arboretum and have a dog park where I live which ensures they are getting their exercise and playtime. My apartment is clean for health safety. If I am staying at the owner’s home, I will apply the owner’s directions.

“Cody the senior Labrador is well cared for by Achara and her family. When I pick him up from a stay at her house, he is always very relaxed and calm. There is this satisfied sense about him. I highly recommend Achara.”

About: 12+ years of animal sitting (primarily dogs but also cats and small critters!) Currently volunteer at an animal shelter (very experienced and comfortable with animals on many different behavior levels) I am comfortable walking, running, feeding, playing, training, cleaning and more for your pet! I love all animals and would love to help out where I can:) I only work part time so I am pretty available to taking care of your pets whenever needed! I can do daily check ins or sitting- whatever you and your family wants. I have a fenced yard and a friendly gentle dog if you’re boarding with me, but I can also housesit and care for both your pets and your home!

“Annie is great! She’s so sweet and kind! She accommodated every need for my Bella and went above and beyond. Check ins were good and she even bathed my dog. She treated Bella like her own and for that, I’m thankful!”

Shantel P.

“Sunshine and Shannon did a great job with our anxious pup. We really appreciated the meet and greet. The drop-off and pickup were super easy. They shared notes, photos, and videos so our minds were at ease while we were trading.”

Debbie F.

“I haven’t left Kaia with a sitter in years. I originally was so nervous to leave her. Mya relieved my worries with daily messages and pictures of her and Kaia. I was very pleased!”

Malia H.

“Sherry and her husband are amazing! They sent pictures and kept me up to date on how my Coco was adjusting to their home. I could tell he had so much fun with them, and felt safe. I will definitely use them again!”

Iris H.

“I highly recommend Pandi and her husband Tim. They both work from home and we’re very attentive to the details of my dog’s care. Their two school-age kids and little dog Scruffy made for a fun, active stay. I appreciated the photos and updates too.”

About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for 12+ years, with a strong background in rescue, behavior, and training. Since 2023, I’ve fostered dogs through Front Street Animal Shelter, including dogs with significant behavioral challenges. I also train my own rescue dog in sports and have experience working through reactivity, separation anxiety, and lack of socialization. I additionally shadow professional dog trainers twice a week to continue expanding my skills. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all temperaments and am committed to providing safe, structured, and individualized care! I often work from home and enjoy going on hikes in my free time (with the dogs of course)! Specifics will vary dog by dog, but I make sure everyone is happy! Please message me for more details! I am versed in pet dog training, and place an emphasis on safety for everyone, including consistent reading of canine body language, proactive safety measures, and attention to detail. I’ve cared for many dogs with varying needs, so I am easily adaptable but safety always remains a priority. For safety reasons, dogs MUST be comfortable being crated at night and for 4-6 hr periods while I am away/unable to supervise.

About: I am a retired teacher, ready to just enjoy animals. Our very long lived pets have include kitties and dogs, including large breeds, like Rottweilers am I current fur baby Bella, who is a Yorkshire terrier.Spot the old gentleman lived for 20 years. He was under constant medical care in 2020 when he couldn’t get to the vet. He was medicated and he receives subcutaneous fluids from me. I also performed injections for his medicine once a day and his pill pills twice a day. I am available most days of the week so if I show that I’m off, it’s probably for a short doctor’s appointment or errand that I have. Let me know. I’m available work days and most weekends my availability starts at 6 AM. Call to see if I’m available for special overnights care or medical care. If your dog has an appointment, I would gladly help you. If I show that I am not available it’s usually because I scheduled an appointment those days for myself. Pets or care for in my home in West Sacramento. A dog park is nearby as is a regular park for fragile dogs. One little Yorkie present and adults only.

“Chelsea was awesome, would definitely recommend! Very communicative, overall great experience boarding with her.”

“So happy with the standard of care my fur babies received. My previous Rover experience was not good so I was very hesitant to leave my babies behind while we were out of town. However, during the meet and greet, Erin assured us that she would take care of my three fur babies as her own. She welcomed us inside her home to show us where they would be hanging with her and introduced us to her two lovely doggies. All five of the pups got along great and she put my mind at ease knowing that they would be in good hands. While we were out of town, Erin would send us pics of our fur babies with updates on how they are doing. BTW her status update narratives are humorous and fun to read. I found Erin to be very professional and a great dog lover. I would leave my babies with her again in a heartbeat. She's an amazing dog sitter and I would highly recommend her to watch your pup. :)”

“She was very patient and kind with my dog Maple who is still figuring out her own routine. Constantly updated and asked questions to make sure that Maple was getting proper care and made her feel welcomed.”
