About: I absolutely love all pets! I spent this past summer volunteering as a dog socializer and walker at Pets Lifeline Animal Shelter. I am comfortable around all dogs, all energy levels, I understand their body language, and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I will dedicate my time to loving them and prioritizing your routine. I also have a pup of my own, a pug, who loves to get out of the house and is always curious! As a UC Davis student, I plan my schedule carefully to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find walk times that work for both of us, and I prioritize being punctual, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs When I'm at your home or on walks, I adapt to your usual routine for your pet and whatever you do to make them as comfortable as possible.

“Carmen has been a terrific dog walker for our two hounds. They were practically smiling in the photos she’d send us each day. 5 stars and would definitely recommend to anyone in the Davis area looking for assistance with their pets.”

About: I have taken care of about 100 individual dogs staying overnight at my home. Their age ranges from 4 months to 16 years. Their weight ranges from 10 to 130 lbs. I make every walk a meditation for me and the dog(s). I work on multiple part-time jobs from home with a flexible schedule throughout the week. I walk dogs four times per day if the weather allows. I fulfill dogs’ needs for physical and mental exercise by walking. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks. I have two kids to keep your pets accompanied. I have the knowledge for pet caring given my extensive experience.

“Sydney was absolutely amazing and reliable. We trusted her to take care of our Moxxi because she has experience with reactive dogs. Also helps that our dog loves her! We appreciate the help, and I will not hesitate to reach out again whenever we're ever working long days. Thank you!”

“Kate is really great with my puppy. She always sends pictures and gives updates which is appreciated while I’m at work. Otis loves to walk with her 3x a week and always comes back happy!”

“Suhani took wonderful care of my corgi, Willy, for a few hours, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. She went above and beyond by baking homemade dog treats for him, taking him on a nice walk, and showering him with plenty of love and attention. When I picked Willy up, he was happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired—the perfect sign that he had a fun and enriching time. It's clear that Suhani genuinely cares about dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust her with Willy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful, and reliable pet sitter.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for the last 4 years, with neighbors and friends relying on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have raised and trained a labradoodle puppy who is now 1.5 years old. I am currently studying biology at UC Davis. I am available after 5 pm on weekdays and on the weekends. I'm also available to care for your dog over the holidays, like winter break and Christmas. I have a fenced backyard with a grass area.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12! I am comfortable walking all types of dogs, playing, boarding, and making them happy :) I work 3 days a week, the other 4 days I use for marathon training, working on supply chain projects, meal prepping, being active, and traveling around California when able. On my four days off, I can dedicate time to walks and other forms of pet care. I am a very active person and can take your dog on extra long walks. My apartment is pet friendly and could be a good place for your furry friend to hang out!

About: I’m a pet owner myself, so I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new. I’m patient and really pay attention to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether they’re super playful, shy, cuddly, or prefer their own space, I’ll let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, litter box cleaning, and lots of cuddles if they want them! I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m available anytime and any day during the summer. I have a flexible schedule, so I can spend plenty of time caring for your pets. For morning visits, please let me know in advance! Pet’s safety and emotions are my top priority. In a client’s home, I will follow the pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I clean up after them, make sure they have fresh water, and provide plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of the home space and always leave it as I found it. If pets are staying with me, they’ll have a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable.

“I couldn’t ask for anything more from Xitlalli! From the moment I met her, it was evident that she is very knowledgeable and comfortable with big dogs. My dog Texas loved her instantly, and I knew right then that he will be in good hands! During the session, she was very communicative and sent me updates on their activities, which calmed my worries. She is the best dog walker and would definitely request her again and again!”

“Hannah is easy to communicate, punctual, and friendly. My dog enjoyed the walk with her!”

About: Hi! My name is Tenaya! 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 can also take care of aggressive or anxious dogs, and I’m happy to help reinforce good behavior for pets in training. I also have experience taking care of a range of exotic animals from working at an animal sanctuary. As someone who works from home, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I can usually adjust my work hours to make time for your pet and their needs. I can also generally accept same-day bookings, especially for drop in visits or walks. 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: I've shared my home with dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has shaped how I approach pet sitting. Over the years I've handled everything from daily feeding schedules and long walks to training, grooming, and the occasional midnight vet scare. As a mechanical engineering student, I bring a detail-oriented, problem-solving mindset to every stay: I notice patterns in a dog's behavior, build routines that keep them comfortable, and plan ahead so nothing is left to chance. Your dog gets the patience of a lifelong dog person and the precision of an engineer. I’m currently working part time as I’m taking a full load of classes but am available afternoons and weekends as needed. I’m willing to work with yalls schedule I have a fenced in backyard and a housemate with a friendly dog to keep your pet company. I’m comfortable around all size dogs and can keep them company

My dog is so much happier when she comes to see him and I love seeing how happy he is in Eva’s rover reports. I am a helicopter dog mom and Eva has been so attentive and thoughtful, which has been a huge blessing! I cannot recommend her enough!!”

I have lived my whole life surrounded by dogs and cats and I love animals. I enjoy taking care of them, giving them love, and receiving their love in return I would love to work part-time with animals because they give me energy and joy, and I believe it’s a great part of the day to enjoy time with them. I am very careful and loving with animals, especially when they belong to someone else. You can feel confident that I will take care of them exactly as you ask, with responsibility and affection. I can work both by going to the client’s home and by caring for the animals in my own home!
