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.
“Jessie is wonderful to have as our pet sitter! She communicates well and was so great with Oslo. She is totally trustworthy and we will definitely be calling upon her again!”
“Jessica was the best! I had her watch my kitties for a couple days and just loved her daily updates with all of the pictures. (She takes fab pics btw, made Kale look like a little model😁) My cats were content and relaxed when I got back so I know they were in good hands. When she returned the key to me, she gave me a little package with the nicest note and some cat treats and a cat toy which was SO NICE of her!! Will definitely be booking again, thank you Jessica!”
“Sofia had great communication and updated me during every visit she had with my pug. Even though my dog can be stubborn when it comes to eating, she always made sure he ate and was taken care of.”
“Thanks Carmen! It’s so great having someone I can trust with my girl. Thanks for practicing weave on the agility course with her too! I hope we get to see you lots in the future 💕”
About: I have taken care of my family's pets over the years they are are away. I have volunteered at Homeward Bound Animal Rescue in the past that has given me the opportunity to walk and interact with animals. I am a retired veteran and UC Davis undergrad who has extensive time on his hands and able to check in on your pets the majority of time to include when students are out of session in the Winter and Summer breaks I have an attentive eye and demeanor to all types of pets who are in need of feeding, walking, brushing, loving and playing. My cat and I go outside for short walks. This is the type of trust that I have set up with animals.
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.
“Audrey did an awesome job watching my cats, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. My cats loved Audrey back, as evidenced by pics of them crawling all over Audrey, lol! The litter box was clean, and they were fed and happy when I got home too, just like I was hoping. Audrey was kind and pleasant to be in contact with.”
About: I have grown up with dogs in the house and am well attuned to the needs of pets in every setting. I feel confident walking, spending time with, and caring for pets of all support needs and sizes. I am a student at UC Davis with a light course load for this quarter. I have excellent time management skills because of my previously busy schedule balancing classes and a D1 sport, but my season has ended so I have much more free time to care for your pets. When coming by for a drop in visit or to pick up your pet for a walk, I will be mindful of any and all house rules and wishes to provide the best possible care. I am experienced with a variety of housing environments and can adapt based on what the situation needs.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including regularly looking after my cousin’s golden retriever. I’m familiar with feeding routines, walks, play, and basic care, and I approach pet care with patience, attention, and consistency. I am currently working part-time, and am happy to walk dogs on the weekends, any time after 12 pm. I am also available on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 11 am and 1 pm. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and playtime, while providing plenty of attention and supervision. I keep their environment safe and clean, reinforce good behavior, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: When I was 9, I got my first dog, and that is how I started to be interested in being a vet and take care of dogs. I’m a UCD Animal Science student. My class schedule is not very busy other than Thursdays for this quarter, so I will be home most of the time other than that. I have 3 roommates (2 are also Animal Science students) who also loves animals and knows how to take care of them and have experiences with pets. There will usually be at least 1-2 person at home always. We have plenty of space for your pet to run around in the house, and a yard which we can be taking the dog out for potty breaks.
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
“Very punctual, attentive, kind, all the things. Because one of our three cats was undergoing a diet trial, the usual to-do list for our weekend away was a bit more complicated than average. She handled it just fine, no problems, and took some lovely pics to boot.”
About: Aside from having two of my own cats and two dogs at home, I have watched, walked, and house-sat for multiple family friends and neighbors over the span of 5 years. I currently work part time in downtown Davis, primarily evenings 3 times a week. Mondays and Wednesday’s I have a two hour period of being on campus. My work nights are typically at least one weekend evening, leaving my days mostly open. As I do not offer care for pets inside my own home, I am comfortable with accessing homes and yards when necessary to provide and access the necessary care/pet care items.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was very young, and I've had a dog in my family for as long as I can remember. I began taking care of dogs through dog rescue organizations, which I really enjoyed. I am a fulltime UC Davis student & while home for my summer break I would love to care for your furry family member. I hope to be a person you trust with your fluffy family members! My schedule works well on weekends, as that's when I visit my family. My routine during the weekend is quite flexible, and I have time for doing physical activities (such as dog walking), or things such as dog sitting. In my own home, I have two dogs (one elderly dog, and a 4 year old dog). When I visit them I take them on daily walks, and provide stimulation through playing with toys, teaching them new tricks, and creating a positive and safe environment for them to enjoy. I really enjoy taking care of dogs, especially, while being able to give them the benefit of exercise and comfort. I am very flexible with the services needed of me, I can walk, or babysit dogs (overnight as well if my schedule allows it).
“Megan was fantastic with my cat Norman. Norman is a diabetic cat who can be aggressive with strangers when they try to give insulin, so it's often tough to find sitters who can manage him. I was so happy with how patient and compassionate Megan was with him. She was extremely reliable and a great communicator, and was able to make sure he got his insulin on time everyday. I would really highly recommend Megan, you can definitely trust her to take great care of your pet!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs all my life whether it comes to feeding, training, walking, and playing. I have also recently been taking care of senior dogs. Currently I am on summer break from school so I have a lot of time to be working and helping with furry family members for others. I can do whatever is needed in order to care for your pets as well as follow any detailed instructions you may give me to ensure your pets well-being.
About: I have experience pet/house sitting for friends, family, and coworkers and am looking to expand my service! I am attentive to specific house/pet needs and take care in my work! I typically work 10 -5, so my mornings are very open for long walks! My schedule is generally very flexible and I can normally come and go to walk or care for pets midday when requested I grew up in a family with 1-3 large dogs at a given period and am very accustomed to dog care (walking, feeding times, routines, meds) I am also a very mindful pet/house sitter. I always make sure to follow specific instructions and care for individual pet needs. I am a good communicator and easy to reach by phone while house/pet sitting

Wenchi did a great job walking Rio for the first time. He isn't used to strangers or being left alone for a long time. Wenchi was very patient and kind in coaxing him out of the house for his walk. I loved the communication with her and the photos which gave me assurance that he wasn't unusually stressed with this situation. I would definitely use her again to walk Rio.
Dina M is the best pet sitter I ever have had, and I have had pet sitters for 40 years!! She is absolutely amazing. She is loving, thorough, attentive to our pets’ needs, and she goes far and above when something in addition is needed, even if it is unexpected! I cannot recommend her highly enough! 20 stars!

Jessica and her daughters did a fantastic job taking care of my cats while I was away. She was reliable and communicative. She kept me updated and made sure everything kitties need were taken care of. My cats were happy and relaxed when I returned, which says a lot. I really appreciate their professionalism and kindness.
Hannah was exceptional!! Extremely communicative and sent me a video of my cat with update pictures of food and water. She followed all instructions to a tee and was an absolute pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Hannah if you need someone to take care of your pet!
Lily was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our four cats while we were away for 10 days and sent daily updates with photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was easy to reach, reliable, and a joy to work with. She even brought in our packages for us. I’d definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a loving, dependable pet sitter!
