“It is so heartening to know that the pups were getting some quality time out of the house while we’re away. Thanks Carmen for your professionalism, it is plain the dogs enjoyed the company! Paul”
About: Hi! I'm Caroline, and I'm currently a sophomore at UC Santa Barbara who will be home in Davis over the summer! I've grown up with 2 dogs, but I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or just to relax, I’m happy to match their vibe and make them feel safe and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications, and handling multiple pets. My goal is to make your pet feel at home, even when you’re away :) I’d love to meet you and your pet, please feel free to reach out with any questions! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m typically available for morning and evening visits and I can accommodate weekend bookings as well. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and am happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. Whether you need regular walks, check-ins, or extra playtime, please feel free to reach out—I’ll always try to make it work! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so they feel secure and cared for at all times. I always follow owner instructions closely, and will update you daily. I create a calm, positive environment where pets can feel relaxed and at ease. During walks and visits, I stay mindful of surroundings to ensure your pet stays safe. I’m also extremely respectful of your home and your pet's space, and will treat it with the same care and responsibility as my own :)
About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for pets, including senior pets and those with special needs, including diabetes care. I’m always happy to tailor my approach so your pet gets the exact care, attention, and routine they’re used to. As someone with pets of my own, I have a good chunk of time carved out specifically for animal care. I would love to spend my spare time with other pets while their families are away. I am committed to providing personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. In a client’s home, I maintain your pet’s normal schedule with feedings, fresh water, walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable and their routine consistent to minimize any stress while you're away.
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I could remember. I have experience with bathing dogs who get exited or like to jump around. I also have experience administering medications or flea treatments to animals. I’m also familiar with nail care which I do to my own animals monthly. Currently i’m taking on new clients and I have an open schedule for 7 days a week. I have availability for mornings, afternoons and nights. I have a very big open field across my house that would be great for walks and running around. I live in an apartment so I don’t have a fenced in area but I have a patio.
“I last minute needed a dog walker during my sit due to work obligations, and Quinn responded incredibly fast and came through right away. She relieved so much stress for me and was such a huge help. I’m so grateful, and she was absolutely incredible with Marshall too!”
“This girl came through big time!! Was available at short notice, was willing to work with my spazy dog and was so nice, sweet and very easy to communicate with. My dog got everything he needed bc of her while I was on an important trip to see family.I’m very grateful!! 💛”
“XingYuan (Cindy) was amazing! She was very spontaneous, responsive, highly communicative, respectful, friendly, accommodating, informative, and above all, wonderful with our two pups. We will happily use her services again and would highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up with a dog, cats, birds, bunnies, and fish. I'm a grad student in Davis with two FIV+ cats of my own, and I'm happy to help nearby pet owners out with drop-in services. I'm also a kitten/cat foster for the UCD Veterinarian School's Orphan Kitten Project and have experience with oral medication and spicy kitties. I'm a full-time grad student with two cats, so I can provide drop-in services for pets and boarding for FIV+ cats. Happy to check in on your pets when you're out of town! During drop-ins I can provide walks, litter box cleaning, feeding, oral medication, brushing, etc. For FIV+ cat boarding, I am open to following your specific schedule if needed.
“I had a great experience with Jackson walking my dog, Maggy. He was reliable, communicative, and sensitive to her needs—especially as a senior dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands during the day. I look forward to booking him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
“Jessica took great care of our dog when we had to be out for day. She is very attentive and detailed in her care. We are so happy to have found her. Will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. Insects, reptiles, rats, especially cats and dogs. I’ve also volunteered at the ASPCA for a year! I have experience with almost all animals, and I’d love to help take care of yours! I take care of two pets of my own, but currently don’t have a stable job. My days are open! Might as well do what I love and get payed for it. XD I have a calm smaller dog, and a cat who LOVES dogs (she’s strange I know). I live right next to a huge park and walking trail.
“Met Liz for a "meet and greet" and little dog walk in preparation for her doing a house stay with our pets. She has a great attitude and experience for working with our senior dog and slightly spicy kitty.”
“Emme was wonderful! Our heeler can be temperamental sometimes, but Emme came over a few days before and met her, and Piper loved her! She sent pictures and was very communicative! We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Nora was really kind and found some time for a last minute request from me. She’s been extremely responsive and responsible. Anika loves her! Will definitely keep her on my go-to list for the futyre”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I grew up in a household that always had multiple pets (fish, dogs, hamsters) and have since expanded my love for animals by dog sitting and cat sitting for friends and family in the neighborhood. I am offering dog walking, sitting and other pet care services for whatever furry friend you need! I’m excited to get started with Rover and build community connections in Davis! I am currently a UC Davis student looking for a part-time way to make extra money and spend more time outside and with animals! I love going on long walks and hanging out at the dog park, or just entertaining your pet at home. I live in an apartment with an unfenced yard. When I dog sit for friends, I make sure to give regular potty breaks every couple of hours and maintain an environment that is safe and comforting for your pet.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong, hands-on experience with animals in both multi-pet and individual home environments. Growing up in a household with nine cats gave me a strong understanding of different feline personalities, routines, and behaviors. I currently care for my own 3-year-old cat, which has further deepened my experience with daily care, health awareness, and enrichment. In addition to cat care, I also have experience with dogs through pet sitting. As a teenager, I regularly watched my neighbor’s dogs, and I have also pet sat and house sat for family members, caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve also provided overnight care, which taught me how to maintain routines, ensure comfort through the night, and handle responsibilities independently while owners are away. I’m especially attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether they’re shy, energetic, independent, or social. I prioritize keeping their routines consistent, maintaining clean and comfortable environments, and making sure they feel safe and secure while their owners are gone. I’m also highly communicative and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a calm, stress-free experience for both pets and owners, treating every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the week. During my summer session, I’m available after 2:00 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, before noon and after 6:00 PM on Tuesdays and Fridays, 11:45 AM–3:00 PM and after 6:00 PM on Thursdays, and I have full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. This flexibility allows me to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and overnight care as needed. I am also available and willing to stay overnight when needed to ensure pets are comfortable and cared for at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following all instructions closely to maintain their normal routine and comfort. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or outdoor breaks, and receive attention, play, and care based on their needs. I respect the client’s home, keep everything clean and secure, and ensure doors, gates, and safety measures are always properly handled. I also provide regular updates so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away.
About: I have experience with pet sitting other animals including chickens, hamsters, and am a quick and adaptive learner!! Enjoyer of the outdoors and being out in the community. I work part time often early in the mornings and have a lot of time the rest of the day. My schedule does change from week to week but clear communication will always be maintained. I am extremely respectful of others’ homes and belongings. Depending on the service I will always confirm and set clear boundaries for both myself and the client.
“Amanda was fantastic! She treated my fur babies like they were her own. She was incredibly accommodating and helpful and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing she would be caring for my pets. She even went above and beyond by allowing me to borrow her doggie stroller for my elderly and blind doggie to use so he wouldn’t feel left out when they went for a walk with my younger dog. I highly recommend her services and I will definitely ask for her services again in the future.”

I give Audrey the highest review possible. She was very accomodating to my odd schedule and was genuinely caring for my pet. I have had Audrey work for me a couple of times and she is my #1 pet sitter now. She takes extra steps to be sure my pet and home are well cared for and is diligent about following up with information. She is committed to animal welfare and is also a very pleasant person to interact with. Thank you, Audrey!
