“Wyatt took care of Simba in our Christmas break. He was very consistent in timing and followed each of the tasks on time. Simba was in great conditions when we came back from the vacation. We would love to work with Wyatt again in future. Thank you”

“Kelly is amazing! We were gone for 10 days and she took incredible care of our two cats. She was punctual every day, thorough with our cats care each visit, and took great care of the house too. We have one cat that can be difficult while we’re gone but Kelly went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable/ brain storm ideas of how to make him less anxious without us there. She administered his daily to him without complications. Plus she sent us detailed rover cards with tons of pictures which is so appreciated when we are away & missing them. 10/10, would highly recommend! We feel so lucky to have found her as a sitter!”

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.

“Nora took excellent care of my cat while I was gone and gave him extra love and cuddles (and sent me cute pics!). She also watered my plants and checked on my garden. Wonderful pet sitter, would definitely trust her with all my animal and plant pets!”

“We were extremely happy with the time and care given to our cat!”

“Zoe is great! Our dog Jackson is high energy and can be difficult, but Zoe handles him confidently and with care. We feel comfortable going out of town knowing that Zoe will check on Jackson while we are away.”

“Carmen did a great job of taking care of our dog. She came for a meet and greet before her first visit. She kept in touch with us after visits or walks with our dog and sent pictures as well. Would love to have her sit again.”

About: I love animals of all types! My first pet sitting experience was at the age of 10 with a very sweet German Shephard, Storm. Over the years I've connected with many a canine, feline, and on occasion, equine family members. It's an honor to be trusted by you, and more importantly your four legged companion to care for them while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and levels of energy. You'll see many pictures of me and my late pup Jude. I had the pleasure of being his parent all 15years he roamed this earth. From potty training, behavior training, grooming and senior care. I've done it all. I work part time in Davis and am home around supper time. On workdays I am able to walk/spend time with your furry companion in the mornings and evenings. I'm available on my days off & the weekends for extended visits or walks. In the evening I'm able to do the same. I live in a small apartment that does not allow cats or dogs. If I am boarding your animals overnight, it will need to be in your home. Whatever accommodations your home has for your pet, I'll happily utilize them to ensure their comfort.

About: I have been caring for dogs for seven years and have three years of experience in fostering and rehabilitating shelter dogs. I am experienced with handling large and small breeds, including Pit Bulls, Mastiffs, and Cane Corsos. My expertise also includes walking reactive dogs, as well as leash training, house training, and crate training. With a strong understanding of dog psychology, my goal is to provide structure and enrichment to set them up for success. I can provide services for dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight sitting. Pet care is a part of my everyday life and I ensure that every dog under my care will get all the attention and care that they need. Throughout the day but my schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate the unique needs of every pet. Whether your pet is an early bird or a night owl, I will cater my schedule to best fit the needs of your pet! I strive to create a safe and calm environment for each pet to minimize stress and keep them comfortable. I will maintain familiar routines and follow instructions regarding walking, feedings, medications, and any other specific needs closely. I will communicate frequently providing updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their pet is well taken cared for.

“Thank you very much. You are very helpful to us, Alex.”

About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Raised on a farm and on a pre-vet track from a young age, I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds—from house pets to livestock to wildlife. Starting at 14, I volunteered in local vet clinics and wildlife rehab centers, gaining hands-on experience with everything from cats and dogs to peacocks, horses, goats, snakes, fish, birds, and cattle. At UC Davis, I deepened my care skills while working at the world-renowned Vet Hospital, tending to cats and dogs during the swing shift. I also worked with campus goats, pigs, sheep, fish, cattle, and horses—and even fostered cats for the hospital. Now in my 30s, I’m an education professional and dedicated pet mom to both cats and dogs. I continue to care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets with the same compassion, attention, and responsibility that’s guided me my whole life. I’m certified in Cat & Dog CPR & First Aid, and Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/AED/First Aid, and have emergency care experience with animals large and small. I’m calm under pressure, reliable, and always communicate clearly—your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm currently taking a break from teaching, and being a full-time stay-at-home mama to my 3 year old daughter and 6 month old son. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member. Please note that at this time, we are seeking families whose pets are comfortable around toddlers and babies. I have a fully fenced yard, and a park just around the corner from my house for those whose furry friends enjoy a stretch, walk, or playtime! I am comfortable using a crate, and we have plenty of floor room in the house (carpet and laminate) for them to lay down if they're not crate trained. We do not allow dogs on the furniture. Cats are allowed to wander the house. We are more than happy to put up child gates to keep your furry family member in certain areas of the house if they're prone to getting into things (such as stuffed animals for the kiddos... I mean really, a lot of doggie toys these days look so similar! I'd understand the misconception. lol) We're not afraid to be firm but kind if your family member needs set boundaries.

About: Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Now a little bit about me and the care I provide for my clients. I come from a long line of dog lovers. I was raised with pups in the home, and they were a beloved part of our family. Like myself, many family members are in the business of caring for pups in one way or another. I have been professionally taking care of pups on a full-time basis since I retired from teaching in 2020. I have worked with many breeds and specialize in small to medium dogs. I have worked with many pups who are elderly, have anxiety or need medication. Many of my clients are regulars and their pups’ become friends and have fun socializing here. Occasionally, some of my clients prefer to keep their pups separated, particularly if they are elderly, anxious and not social. I have plenty of space and can create secure sections, each with quiet den areas where pups can have their space, yet still be near me and feel safe. In addition, I use soft music to help calm and sooth pups throughout the day. For active dogs that love to play I have a long corridor which is great for indoor fetch! I also have a beautiful path behind my home where we go for long walks. The park is only a short ten-minute walk and I utilize it often. Sometimes I take my pups out for a field trip, and we get a “pup cup” at Starbucks and/or walk around the UCD Arboretum. Safety is my first priority! So, all dogs must be up to date with all their immunizations and flea/tic treatments! If you have any questions, please feel free to text me. I would be happy to set up a meet & greet with you and your fur baby to discuss your needs and any concerns. I have excellent reviews and references and am eager to serve you! Warmly, Ann *** Please note: For whichever Rover sitter, boarder, or walker you select, Rover takes out 20% of their income and 100% of the booking fees. I board pups and other pets full-time. I work/school from home so I have plenty of time to walk, play and snuggle. Sometimes we do doggy field trips. We get pup cups and then go to the arboretum or parks. I work with clients to maintain routnines and make our guests feel safe and at home. Dogs are out and about but are crated during transition times or when I need to run out to the store to keep them safe. We take plenty of pics and videos. Communication is key.

“Ruixi was wonderful!! Our two kittens were so happy to be able to play with her while we were on a long trip! We knew they were well cared for and loved! She communicated really well with us and gave us updates on our kitties! We would definitely book her again!!!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a Great Pyrenees and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I’m currently a student at uc davis so that’s what my time is filled up with. I’m up early so accommodating to the pets needs won’t be a problem! I have no issue feeding and playing with my cat in my schedule I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable while they’re in my care! I make sure they get plenty of attention and stick to their usual routines as much as possible. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’ll always follow any instructions you leave and keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a child. I have a 17 year old dorkie (dachshund/yorkshire terrier mix) at home that I love very much! I've used my free time to volunteer at animal shelters and would love another way to interact with animals while I attend law school. I attend law school so before and after class, as well on the weekends, I am available! I can be even more flexible on days that I don't have class. As I have my own pet I know to make sure to pay attention to whatever they want and need whether it's food, play time, nap time, or to go outside!

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.

About: I’m a lover of all animals and happy to help out! Bonus point if you have a small wire haired dog??? A lil disheveled old dog who needs a gentle attitude? You would be paying me in a years worth of serotonin already. Just got back from a travel hiatus and ready for my furry friends :’) I have grown up and lived with a variety of animals: cats, pittie mix, small dogs, birds. I've been pet sitting across multiple platforms and word of mouth, and new to rover! If your pet is looking for a friend with a cozy vibe, look no further :) I spend most of my time writing and making art at home, so we will have plenty of time to bond. They will feel like someone loving and safe is still around while you are on your trip away, and they’ll get plenty of walks while I’m here- I’m quite active myself. Excepting the other Rover sits, I work a relatively flexible schedule. Shoot me a message and let's see if we can make it work, even if my schedule is booked, we might be able to work something out. I tend to bond easily with animals since my priority is keeping each pet comfortable in their own routine and home. I'm really not in a rush to get myself on their good side, and they appreciate that. I follow their cues and it works!

About: **I don't charge for additional pets!! (Of the same type i.e. dog/dog or cat/cat). If you have any questions please reach out and ask about certain policies or pricing rates I try to be as accommodating as possible! I have pet-friendly resident pets, including a happy-go-lucky dog named Bear and a relaxed cat named Bowie. Also have the means to keep all animals seperated if your pet doesn't enjoy companions! For cat boarding I have a seperate cat room setup where your companion/s can enjoy a fresh water fountain, a cat tower, many cat toys, and a personal litterbox during their stay. For dog boarding I require a meet and greet to make sure your dog/s are compatible with mine, for doggy day-care it isn't necessary as I can keep them seperate. Regardless of compatibility I take animals safety very seriously and your pet/s will never be left unsupervised with any of other animals during their time in my care. I’ve always been an animal enthusiast growing up in the country I did whatever I could to be around animals constantly. In our home we had four dogs, two hamsters, a corn snake, a half-blind horse, countless hermit crabs, and a parakeet. There is truly no animal I don't love and won't do my best to care for. Growing up with these animals I've had the privilege to be there when they were puppies/kittens/babies all the way through the end of their life, so I have extensive experience with care in every life stage. I've carried that love and passion with me into adulthood. As an adult I've worked for a year as a kennel technician at a humane society enriching, socializing, training, and advocating for dogs, cats, and small animals. I also regularly volunteer time at humane societies when I can and regularly foster cats, to date I've successfully fostered over 10 cats who are now all in happy homes. Through fostering I've experienced some harder care cases. Including fostering 3 week old sick kittens requiring syringe feedings, multiple medications, and detailed weight tracking. I've also had the privilege of fostering a hospice case who required food, liquid, and medication administration through an e-tube along with extensive monitoring. No matter what kind of care your pet needs I will do my best to ensure they receive the love, respect, and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping you and your furry (and maybe scaly) family members! I'm avaliable for drop-ins, boarding, and walking M-F after 2:30 PM! I can also do breakfast drop-ins during the week between 5:00-5:30 AM, or earlier if need be. I'm open and available most weekends for all pet care, I keep my schedule updated 3 months out! If you want to book further than 3 months just send me a message and I'm happy to work with you! My top priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. Each visit, walk, or stay is individual and entirely customizable for your pet. To ensure your pet receives the best care I require an initial meet and greet, or phone call so we can discuss what the ideal care looks like. I prioritize customizable care, communication, and enrichment to make sure your pet has the best 'staycation' ever!

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.
