1. Mackenzie G.

“Mackenzie was great! She took care of my needy old chihuahua all day. I 100% trust her with my dog again and hope she’ll be available in the future.”


2. Jaimie B.

“I had the pleasure of having Jaimie as my home sitter for my cat and dog, and she was absolutely amazing! Jaimie was incredibly attentive and patient, taking great care of my pets. She even went above and beyond by providing basic training for my dog without me even asking. Jaimie's genuine concern and love for my pets were evident in every interaction. She also took the time to organize and tidy up my home to create a more comfortable space for them. I am incredibly grateful for her dedication and thoughtfulness. I can't thank Jaimie enough for the exceptional care she provided. Her attention to detail and the way she genuinely cared for my cat and dog exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a reliable and compassionate Rover sitter, I highly recommend Jaimie. She deserves nothing less than a five-star rating for her outstanding service. Thank you, Jaimie, for everything!”

6. Anna G.


“We had a great experience with Anna! She arrived on time, stayed at our home and treated it with care and respect. She took wonderful care of our dogs, making them feel comfortable and at ease. We also loved receiving frequent updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend her!”


7. Cassandra M.
About: I have owned a few dogs in my lifetime and as of 5 years ago I started caring for my neighbors’ dogs all throughout Davis! I typically stay the night and give them playtime in the backyard or walks.. whatever is needed, I’m there. I have experience with administering oral medication to dogs. I’m a recent UC Santa Cruz graduate with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and I’m currently looking for wildlife technician jobs as well as applying to grad school. I’m a part time caregiver at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I make sure to ask all the right questions in case of emergency and for the comfort of the pets. I like to get written lists of everything that needs to be done while the owners are away, this helps with any clarifying questions I may have!


8. Cat N.

“Cat was such a lovely sitter. She sent daily updates and gave our kitties so much love and attention. We can’t wait to work with her again 🫶🏻”


9. Sydney S.

“Sydney did a couple of overnight stays in our home and she was incredibly dependable and thorough. Communication is easy and straightforward, and I felt very at ease being gone. I highly recommend her services.”


10. Mario G.
“Mario is a responsible trust worthy student with a passion or animals like no other. Mario grew up taking care of his two younger sisters since the age of ten while his mother work. He eventually added a cat to the mix. He's currently in undergrad working toward becoming a vet and it was dream since he would force us to the Zoo at 5 years old. He is someone you only need tell once, and he'll get the job done. Hiring Mario would be the fantastic choice and I couldn't rave more!”


11. Nicole W.

“Nicole was wonderful with our Aldo!!! She is a true dog lover and cared for him as if he was her own. She was also extremely flexible, when we had to ask her to come 6 hours earlier than the original scheduled start time!! Nicole made sure our boy had fun, got his allergy medication, and stayed busy to keep him from missing us too much which we so appreciate!! We will 100% be booking Nicole again ??”


12. Joon K.

“Joon was great! She sent updates during the stay. Our dog who is usually pretty indifferent to dog sitters LOVED her and cried when she left!”


13. Alexa Y.
About: I grew up with pets (dogs, cats, exotics) my entire life and quickly took on the responsibility of caring for them at a young age. This passion led me down the path of pursuing Veterinary Medicine. Throughout high school I volunteered at my local animal shelter and also independently studied dog training. Through the use of positive reinforcement I have successfully trained my own two dogs as well as friends' and family members' dogs. During my undergraduate years, I was a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital in Southern, California. There I learned technical skills such as administering vaccines, collecting blood samples, and giving oral and injectable medications. I am currently a first year vet student at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, where I’m continuing my journey to help animals live healthier, happier lives. Whether it’s walking, training, or giving your pet a little extra TLC, you can trust they’ll be in knowledgeable and loving hands with me. I am currently a first year veterinary student, so everyday I have a combination of lectures and labs. However, my schedule tends to fluctuate a lot and for the most part provides me flexibility. I am free most weekdays and weekends -with proper notice- for dog walking, pet check ins, house sitting, etc. I am well versed in dog and cat behavior and training. I am comfortable tailoring to your pets usual routine and comfort level. My goal is to make them as comfortable as they are when you are home!


14. Emma H.
“Emma did a fantastic job watching my bunny for a week. The space was kept clean, and my little one seemed really content when I got back. She’s clearly great with animals and takes pet sitting seriously. As someone who worries about leaving their pet, I felt completely comfortable with Emma in charge. Would definitely book her again!”


15. Sophia F.

“Sophia was an excellent house sitter and took great care of my two cats. She was always responsive when I contacted her before and during my trip. My cats were happy when I returned home and my house was very tidy. I highly recommend Sophia as a cat/house sitter and would happily hire her again when I go out of town.”


16. Daniel N.
“Daniel is reliable, caring, and professional. He has taken care of my dog and cat consistently for the past 3 years and never fails to treat them like they’re his own. He keeps constant communication with me so I don’t ever feel guilty about leaving my pets, and they are always happy and healthy when I get back home. I can’t recommend him enough!”


17. Sarah L.
“Sarah is a pet owner. She takes great care of her cat. she is gentle with them and gives her a lot of attention. she feeds them on time. She clean the litter every day, sometimes at least twice a day. She is very organized and clean. She will take care of your pet very well.”


18. Anabelle S.
“My dogs love Anabelle. She is very calm and fun. They especially like her glow in the dark chuck it ball! When I get back from vacation I am a little worried my dogs miss her more than me!”


19. Kira Y.
“As a close friend of Kira's, we have spent a lot of time together, and in that time, we have taken care of dogs together and I have had an up-close and personal look at her dedication to serving animals. Kira is always loving and responsible with animals, even able to handle the rowdiest dogs I know. Kira has also inspired me to join her at a local pet shelter, spending time with various dogs. Kira as a person is driven, kind-hearted, and capable, and this translates to her qualities as a dog sitter. If you get Kira to take care of your animal, you know you can rest easy. She has helped me tremendously with any dog I have had to encounter and take care, and I know she can help you too.”


20. Diane L.

“Diane was wonderful! great with Taco and Moo, always making sure they got their walks in and were happily fed. I particularly appreciated her prompt communications and picture updates??would highly recommend”
