House Sitting Old East Davis

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I appreciate every minute I have with them and all animals. I created my own dog walking business several years ago and gained lots of experience working with and observing the ways dogs function. I am currently Undergrad at UC Davis but use my free time to walk the dogs at Yolo County Animal Shelter. These days, I am working hard at school but appreciate the time I have with any animal! Besides the occasional study session or family vacation, I am free! I am comfortable crating, feeding, watering or walking any pets! I am happy to help take care of other household chores like watering plants or taking in mail!

“Sydney has been great with our very anxious dog. She also takes amazing pictures of our girl, who is *very* good at spoiling pictures, but can't evade Sydney!”

“Sofia was lovely with our small elderly dog! She took him along on a few of her outings and was attentive to his needs, making sure to give him his meds. I would use her again!”

“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 have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including paid pet-sitting experience. I'm also a proud dog owner, so I understand how important it is to find someone dependable and trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I have experience caring for puppies, including helping with basic training, positive reinforcement, potty training, leash manners, and establishing consistent routines. I understand that puppies require extra patience, attention, and encouragement as they learn and grow. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it's an energetic puppy who loves to play or a laid-back dog who enjoys a relaxing walk, I tailor my care to help them feel comfortable and happy. I believe communication is just as important as quality pet care. I'll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: to treat every pet with the same love, kindness, and attention I give my own dog, Pepper! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a proud dog owner. I'm used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets receive plenty of love and attention. As an independent contractor, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. This allows me to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs, whether it's an early morning walk, a midday drop-in visit, an evening potty break, or overnight house sitting. I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active, so dog walking and caring for pets fit naturally into my lifestyle. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'm happy to work around their schedule to keep them comfortable and happy. I'm dependable, organized, and committed to showing up on time, following instructions, and providing regular updates and photos. My goal is to offer flexible, reliable, and personalized care that gives pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner with years of pet-care experience, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines and environment to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special needs or preferences. I also respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet is supervised and cared for appropriately. During walks, I pay close attention to each dog's behavior, energy level, and surroundings, always prioritizing safe handling and positive experiences. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce established training routines and provide the extra patience and attention they need. I believe trust is built through reliability and communication. I'll provide regular updates and photos, and I'll never hesitate to reach out if I have questions or concerns. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same kindness and attention I give my own dog.

“Jordan was incredible with our dog Banks. Banks was unexpectedly hobbled before our trip and Jordan did a great job navigating Banks' medicine and limited mobility. He was extremely communicative and was very responsible.”

“Jaimie was a very responsible and responsive overnight dog sitter. She followed all of the instructions and sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me up to date on what was happening on the home front. I recommend her to anyone who’s looking for pet care!”

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.

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!

“Shaquita was trustworthy, knowledgeable, and a great communicator! She really cared about my dog and asked thoughtful questions about caring for her and my home in my absence. She has worked with animals before and is studying to go to vet school! So I felt great about leaving my senior dog with her over the holiday. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thank you Shaquita!”

About: I've had multiple dogs all my life (all shelter rescues of all sizes and temperaments) and cared for them up into their senior years. From unique feeding routines to walks/runs in the early morning, to fetch, tug-of-war, midday potty breaks, and cuddles, I've done it all! I've also raised and fostered several litters of rescue kittens to be adopted, from bottlefeeding to litterbox training and handling practice. I am well learned in cleaning litterboxes, prepping midday snacks, and providing love and attention for kitties of all ages. I provide runs and walks for various dogs several days a week and house-sit on occasion during the summer. I also drop in to play with, feed, or entertain dogs whose families are away for long periods of time during the day. Because each pet is unique, I ensure clear communication of expectations from the pet's family prior to any walking or sitting. I always carefully monitor pets for signs of stress, discomfort, or injury and am prepared to take action in the event of emergencies. I maintain regular communication with pet families when they're out of town (send pictures and updates of their pets) and organize my weekly walking schedule frequently to ensure convenience for both me and the client. As someone with pets and a love for animals, I hold myself to a high standard to make sure every animal is comfortable and thriving with any walk, run, or visit.

“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.”

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.

“Isabella took such great care of my dog. Very attentive, communicative, and my pup loved her.”

About: Growing up, my family fostered sick kittens and raised rats. Now, I love working with critters of all sorts, and I'd love to get to know yours. I offer a flat rate with no upcharge for additional animals or medical needs. As a PhD student, my schedule is especially flexible over the summer. I am usually in Sacramento a few days per week and Davis otherwise, but I'm happy to work with your schedule. With reliable wifi, I'm happy to work from your home to accommodate your pet's schedule. Availability for frequency of potty breaks/walks varies; just ask! On all visits, if anything seems off, I will check in right away--better safe than sorry.

About: I have quite a lot of pet experience with rabbits, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, and hamsters. I have worked with these animals in a variety of environments, from classes, and shelters, to veterinary clinics and owning pets. I have been petting sitting friends' animals since age 15. I miss my own dogs and cats back at home and want to be able to help others with their furry friends! I am currently an undergraduate student at UC Davis studying animal science and have lots of free time to spend so taking care of animals before and after classes! I will always send update pictures and texts if desired to the client. In addition, for any house-sitting events I will communicate to the pet parent on the preferred way they want their pet sleeping since that may cause anxiety to some pet parents! In addition, note that there is no way your pet can escape from inside my apartment since it is a fully closed environment.

“We needed a last-minute house/dog sitter and after looking at reviews I chose Anam. She was great! She’s super knowledgeable about dogs and kept me updated about what my pups were up to while we were gone. We’ll be looking into her training services here shortly.”

“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!”

About: I have cared for a wide range of animals since my childhood on a small family farm. I have bottle fed kittens to goats, trained puppies to ducks, and cared for little piglets to senior dogs. I also have some experience with medical procedures with dogs and cats, to farm animals. Experience with cats with diabetes, pets with blindness, deafness, and immobility. I enjoy caring for animals of all shapes and sizes and good care and enrichment is always my top priority! I like to check on my animals and animals I’m caring for a minimum of 3 times a day for 30 minutes each. With cats I like to spend time playing, setting up enrichment activities, and learning how they are most comfortable. With dogs I like to do a minimum of 3 walks a day followed by some of their favorite activities. I believe pets should be checked on morning, afternoon and evening at minimum. I like to follow the routine of the pets parents to a T so as to not disturb the pets while their families are gone. I think having a routine is important for a pet especially when their people/family are gone.

“Rachel was amazing. She met with us on short notice and stayed with our dogs. We received messages and pictures. First time using Rover.com, highly recommend, and will definetly use the service again.”
