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.
“Markita was so sweet to my cat, Comet, and ensured she was comfortable while we were out of town. Markita was able to administer Comet’s medication. Thank you, Markita!”
“Danielle is always great with our cat Greg! Always brushes his teeth makes sure he’s got lots of food and keeps his litter box clean! She also always stays the full amount of time for his drop ins so you know your pet is getting lots of play and love while she’s there. Thanks Danielle!!”
“Thank you so much, Payton! Payton was great will meeting up the day before to review our care plan. She showed up and took care of our Nelly with updates. We will be booking with Payton again!”
“had a great experience working with Shang over a two week period. She walked and fed my dogs with so much care and reliability. I even had an “oops” moment where I mistakenly thought a day was booked when it wasn’t, and she was incredibly gracious and understanding when I reached out. Once we sorted out my mistake, she confirmed the remaining days and everything went smoothly. I truly appreciate her professionalism, kindness, and flexibility. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up with animals more specifically dogs I had a toy poodle, a labradoodle, a Labrador , now currently have a Dorgi and bully. I also care for my friends pets when they are away. I do work a full time and can be available for your fur babies. Call or text me for more info for drop-ins or what it is needed. Make sure they are fed with fresh water and engaged in a walk or another activity you would prefer. I look forward to hearing from you.
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.
“Samantha is AWESOME and our babies ❤️❤️❤️❤️ her. She gives lots of love, great walks, gave meds and even cleaned up accidents. We have already booked our next trip with Samantha.”
“Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!”
About: In past years I have raised, bred & cared for dogs of all types. I am an animal lover and strive for the health and happiness of all dogs. I have had 2 dogs of my own in the past but due to work schedule at the time were unable to have them. I would love to have furbabies of my own but understand that with three children of my own it would be a huge responsibility. I am looking to care for dogs to fill that emptiness. I am a part time attendance clerk and have plenty of time for long walks and many games of fetch. I want to take care of your furbabies and can guarantee peace of mind and satisfaction with my services. With my services I can commit to loving and walking adventures with your furbabies. As a part time clerk, pet care fits into my daily life because I am always outside and staying active. I am a homeowner of a property that has a fairly large front yard making it easy for me to care for pets as well as a stable means of transportation. As a pet lover I care for my clients pets as if they were my own. As if my own pets I would make sure all pets have enough time outdoors for play and potty breaks as well as ensuring they are comfortable in home if the weather permits.
“So glad we found Jazmine, she is super thorough, detail oriented, easy to work with, and most importantly love cats!! She made sure to clarify & note all the instructions we had for our picky senior cat that also needs medicine and went above and beyond during her visit to make sure he eats 🥹she was also super communicative during the visit. we highly recommend her and we will book again :)”

About: I have 25+ years experience with large dogs, cats, multi-pet homes, feeding, walking, litter care, medication, playtime and maintaining routines tailored to each pets personality. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to step away for periods at a time. Stepping away allows me to run errands and drop in for pet care, playtime and walks. Trust and safety is important. I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing feeding, medication, walks, playtime and care tailored to their needs, while also treating every home with respect.
About: I lost my pittie Juice of nine years who passed away, I miss him deeply. I have thought of ways to give back that would fill my heart with joy. I would like to give back to other dog parents in need of help or an extra hand as a dog mama myself I have always loved dogs. I have grown up with large and smalls breeds my entire life and have watched my family and friends dogs throughout the years. I work hybrid remote, in office Wed-Thurs & about less than 10 min drive from work. I can be home the other days in the week and on weekends if needed. I live in 800 sq foot apartment and it can be spacious for large dog as well. I'd like to note, I reside on the third floor of my apartment and it is only stairs. My dog was as pittie 95lbs before he passed away. I live close to walking trails, nice neighbors, and close to two dog parks within a 5 minute drive.
“Julia has been great with our weekly pup sitting appointments! Our two dogs are large (130lbs & 70lbs) and very energetic, but she handles them with ease and the utmost care! We are so lucky to have found her as our weekly sitter!”
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.
Oak Knoll pet parents share their Rover experiences
Markita made our first Rover booking the easiest decision ever. We were nervous leaving Freddie and Charlie alone with a “stranger” for 12 days - this was the longest we’ve been away from them. Markita gave us the peace of mind we needed to relax on our trip. She was responsive and went the extra mile with everything. Most of all, she bonded with the boys which was really special. Thanks Markita for taking care of our boys and our home! We know exactly who to call on to take care of them for our next trip. ❤️🐱
We had a wonderful experience with Aliya! She did an excellent job with our cats and respected their boundaries, which we really appreciated since they are very shy. She gave them the space they needed while still making sure they were well cared for. Her communication was outstanding. She kept us updated about everything and responded very quickly to messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, attentive sitter.
had a great experience working with Shang over a two week period. She walked and fed my dogs with so much care and reliability. I even had an “oops” moment where I mistakenly thought a day was booked when it wasn’t, and she was incredibly gracious and understanding when I reached out. Once we sorted out my mistake, she confirmed the remaining days and everything went smoothly. I truly appreciate her professionalism, kindness, and flexibility. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!
Jamiela checked in on our elderly dog Tika every day for the week we were away on vacation. She helped Tika go out to potty and spent time petting/massaging and brushing her. It was such a relief for me to have Jamiela checking in on her and allowed me to relax on vacation. My brother took care of Tika while we were gone, but had to work during the day and I was worried about Tika being alone all day, especiallywith the stress of my partner and I being gone. I would 100% book Jamiela again, she was super reliable and clearly cared about Tika and was comfortable with an elderly dog.
Sage went above and beyond my expectations! She took such good care of my cat and dog, they were obviously well loved and fed. My house was cleaner than when I left and I would recommend her highly to anyone. Communication was excellent and I received constant pictures and notes as to what was happening at home. All in all a superb experience.
We had such a great experience with Ana Carolina caring for our two dogs while we were away for the day. She came to meet us and the dogs for a meet and greet the day beforehand, and was so warm and kind. She was immediately great with both our dogs who have very different personalities! She was prompt with her visits and made sure to maximize their play time. We felt very comfortable leaving them in her care, and will be happy to book her again soon!
James was helping me to take care of my cats, Blosom and Kristal. It was second time I hired James. He fed my cats and cleaned their litter boxes. He also cleaned the floor around litter boxes.He was doing that every day for 21 days. I will hire James again, or I will recommend him to everybody.
Parker was great! It was a last minute booking so we didn't do a proper meet and greet, but Parker and Sela met before. Parker was very patient with her, Sela didn't recognize her right away and was a little afraid and shy at the beginning. Parker took her time and didn't push Sela's boundaries. Everything went great after a little while. Parker was very communicative, patient and professional. Highly recommended!
