“Audrey was incredibly communicative in specialized instructions for my anxious dog! She was very caring of all the pets, and I would absolutely recommend her for any pet sitting services.”

“Nora is very reliable and our dog Bailey took to her right away. We received regular updates and had the peace of mind that our home and pet were in good hands while we were away.”


About: A former UC Davis graduate. I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. I’m a dependable and attentive pet sitter who focuses on creating a calm, low-stress experience tailored to each animal’s personality and routine. I’m especially skilled at reading behavior cues, helping shy or anxious pets feel comfortable, and maintaining consistency with feeding, cleaning, and enrichment. My background in structured, fast-paced environments has made me highly organized and reliable, so pet owners can trust that every detail will be handled with care and responsibility I’m currently free during the work week most times of the day. I also have availability on weekends on a need to need basis. I’m ready and willing to spend as much time as your pets need. I wouldn’t be able to take care of pets in my own home but can do whatever is needed in their homes. I am good at providing structured resting time as well as play and can provide support with any trailing being done in the home
“Suhani is such a wonderful person. She was active with our two dogs, walking them daily and was flexible and helpful when our travel plans got delayed. We came home to a clean house and she navigated our backyard project, sending us updates all the while dealing with not having a yard for the dogs to go out in. I highly recommend Suani, though we’d like to keep her for ourselves.”

“Cat was amazing with our 3 dogs! She was able to walk all of them together and she sent tons of pictures and videos so we knew they were in good hands. She was very communicative in letting us know what her schedule would be each day and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a house sitter for their dogs. Thanks, Cat!”

“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”


About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for many types of dogs, and it has always been more of a passion than a job. I will always care for and love your dog like one of my own! I currently work part-time and am available daily in the afternoons (after about 1 PM) for check-ins, walks, feedings, and more. My schedule is flexible in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I am very detail-oriented and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I make sure they are well cared for and receive plenty of love and attention. I approach every dog with a calm demeanor, moving at a pace that feels comfortable for them so they can feel safe, relaxed, and at ease in my care.
“Chrissy was an awesome house sitter for our energetic, 1-year-old golden/husky mix! She gave regular updates and kept him entertained. Would definitely book again and recommend!”

“Jiajie was SUPBERB! She gave outstanding care to our puppy! Our puppy had a fantastic time with her (and her sweet dogs). Her communication, while we traveled overseas, was top-notch!!! She was beyond the best- highly highly highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

About: What sets me apart is as a pre-vet student, my clinical experience working in a veterinary setting, where I assisted in vaccine clinics and gained hands-on exposure to animal handling and care. This experience taught me how to safely and calmly work with animals of different temperaments, including those who may be nervous or stressed. I also have over 10 years of experience with a variety of species including dogs, cats, cows, goats, pigs, chickens and birds. I am happy and open to take care of all animals. I’m attentive to detail and able to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could indicate a problem. While I provide loving and reliable care, I also bring a level of awareness and responsibility that comes from working in a clinical environment. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Beyond that, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and make an effort to build trust and give them the attention and affection they need. Afterall, it's all I want to do as I pursue my dreams to becoming a Veterinarian :) I have a very flexible schedule, I am available every day, including weekends, with the exception of Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have classes. I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they receive plenty of time, attention, and exercise. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions to maintain their normal routine, environment, and feeding schedule to reduce stress. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I closely supervise pets during walks and playtime. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment and pay close attention to behavior or any signs of discomfort. With my background in animal science and clinical settings, I am detail-oriented, reliable, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and at ease while you’re away.
“Chloe was wonderful! My anxious dog adores her, and I felt totally comfortable leaving him with her. She made extra effort to follow his daily routine and make him feel comfortable, as well as sending me cute photos and updates. Would book again!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I also have hands on experience with the animals in my neighborhood. I’m attentive to each pets routine and personality. I have also cared for a variety of different energy levels from high energy to to more relaxed pets. I am also reliable, communicative, and take the safety of pets serious. I love being active with the pups and giving them extra cuddles. I am currently a student at UC Davis. So when I’m not in class I am available to take care of pets. My schedule is very flexible to you’re pet care needs. In a client’s home I prefer to be shown where the pet’s items are. Also, if you're pet has any preferences so I can better care for them.
“We really enjoy having Marissa come to our house and take care of our dog. She is always dependable and takes good care of them so you aren't stressing leaving them with someone.”

About: I am an undergraduate student pursuing the prevet route so learning about and caring for animals are a daily part of my life. I have minor experience with clicker training puppies and have also cared for dogs of various ages. I also regularly volunteer at the local animal shelter, allowing me to work with a variety of different breeds! I am a student so I sometimes have a few hours break in between my classes or after my classes that allow me to stop by for drop in visits and walks. I am also available over the weekends for overnight boarding! I always check to see if there is any medications or health concerns with the pets that need my attention. Additionally, I like to make sure that water is always readily available. The diet depends for the pet but I wanna make sure the animal is at a healthy weight with proper nutrition to ensure their long term health. I like to take the dogs out on walks if possible so that they have the opportunity to get some exercise in.
“The best gift when you can't take your companions on a trip is to know someone will take care of them and give you a peace of mind. Ashley did. She is amazing and is a great communicator. I left behind a 14 year old blob and a 6 years skittish lab and I was worried about the younger pup. It was the 14 year old senior that kept Ashley up at night. Ashley kept me posted on the situation, we kept the communication open to make sure Hunter is ok. Things happened but the best way to know how awesome your substitute is, is to experience their problem solving ability. Ashley got everything under control. I highly recommend Ashley and would love to get her help again. She is definitely more than 5 stars rating.”

About: I’m an attentive and patient sitter with experience caring for both cats and dogs, including shy, energetic, and sensitive pets. I adapt to each pet’s personality to help them feel safe and comfortable. I have cat sitter for friends, joined a friend on dog sitting trips via trusted house sitters, and also provided dog care in Davis locally. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins and house sitting during weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to provide attentive and consistent care. At this time, I provide care in clients’ homes to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain routines and minimize stress.
“Jane did a great job house sitting our elderly puppy Samantha. She took good care of her and sent us regular updates. She was easy to communicate with and she was very flexible. Highly recommended!”

“Jordan took care of our 2 cats for a week when we went away on vacation. He was really on top of things, responsible and reliable. He sent us photos daily by text to assure us everything was happening according to plan. He’s really nice too. I highly recommend him!”

“Hernan took excellent care of Bailey, our golden retriever. Hernan was an excellent communicator. He provided updates and photos, walked and played ball with Bailey. He stayed at our home and was an excellent and tidy guest. We would definitely use Hernan again!”

Northstar pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kanika was great with Zubain and Kabira and took wonderful care of the house while we were away. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and happy. We really appreciated the regular updates and the peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Both Zubain and Kabira seemed relaxed and well cared for when we returned. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Vivian looked after my cat Boots for a week. I was nervous about leaving my cat Boots as this was my first time leaving him for this long, but Vivian was great and communicative. I received daily updates and pictures, and she followed my instructions/routine perfectly. I came home to Boots who was happy, excited, and energetic

Chrissy accepted our booking the day before and we were extremely grateful. She asked questions ensuring she had the proper instructions to care for Stark. We received updates & pictures throughout the care. She was very flexible with our schedules. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!

Jennifer was great! She did what we asked for and even more, which we appreciated. We received updates throughout the day and she got my Husky so tired that she doesn’t even want to get up for treats lol. We are working on our pup’s separation anxiety, so it was nice being able to count on Jennifer. We will definitely be booking again. Our pup gives her 5 stars too lol 🐶

Our dog and cat were very happy when we returned and Ally was a great housesitter for a few nites. She got the animals out during the day and spent time cuddling them at night. The house was as tidy when we returned as when we left. She was attentive to our dogs needs for walks, even in wet weather, and sent us photos. Thank you Ally!
