About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for over 10 years. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, feeding routines, walks, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently don’t work but I am enrolled in college so I have flexible availability during weekdays and weekends for boarding, walks, and drop-ins. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment. I have a fenced yard and closely supervise pets at all times. I follow instructions carefully and can crate pets if needed.
About: I am here because I know how important it is to provide your pets quality care. I want your time away to be as convenient and stress free as possible. I know it can be difficult finding the right care and I am here to ease that worry while reassuring you I have experience and knowledge to provide quality care. I strive to keep your pets routine and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I'm here to communicate with you and commit to you and your pets. I see myself as a form of extended family, as such I genuinely care and provide quality care. I had owners that needed me to care for special needs and request one on one care or special needs can be accommodated sometimes with additional fees but most often with the regular rates. I am able to do introductions with other animals or keep separate depending on pets temperament and owner preferences. I've taken care of pets, including my own since I was a young child. I have cared for all types of pets including cats, dogs (of all sizes) and other animals. I have experience with senior animals and puppies and have pet sat, been a dog owner and fostered. I have experience with multiple breeds and we prefer to make your pet feel at home as much as possible, so you can be at ease while away. I work from home and pets are provided care throughout the day. I know it can be hard to find someone you feel comfortable with taking care of your pet so I am to not only take excellent care of your pet but for you to rest assured your pet is in great hands. I have a fenced yard, as well as a space if you have a pet that needs to be confined or crated. I am happy to discuss needs and try to work out to make your pets stay as pleasant as possible. I ask that you provide all the things your pet is used to including schedule/ routine if you keep one so that their time away is comfortable and seamless.
“Wendy is amazing and her experience with dogs immediately shows! I was a little nervous as Lucy had never been walked by anyone other than us. I loved the pictures and videos Wendy sent showing Lucy was thoroughly enjoying her time out. We did not hesitate to rebook Wendy for recurring walks!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds. Walking, feeding, playing, and providing overnight care. For the past 4 years I’ve been living in the U.S., I’ve also helped families with walks, boarding, and even driving dogs to dog care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved, and I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they get the attention they need. I currently work part-time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8–5pm, which means I’m available for pet care most evenings, weekends, and the rest of the week. This gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight stays. Your pet will get lots of attention and playtime when they’re with me. I live in a safe apartment with a fenced yard and no pets. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for according to their routine. If needed, I can crate your dog for naps or overnight, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions you provide. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.
“Payton was very friendly and responsive, and Finley was excited each day to go on outings with her. We weren’t concerned about him during our trip abroad- many thanks to Payton!!”

“Raquel was a real treat to meet! She was great with my dog, Molly and was patient with my constant scheduling modifications. Raquel is very punctual with the times I selected and walks through the door at that time. Not a moment to soon or a moment too late. I am very pleased with Raquel's professionalism. I have found Molly's walker!”

About: I’ve grew up taking care of loads of animals, from reptiles to all furry pets. I’ve dealt with new born pups to elderly dogs so I make sure to always provide the right environment. I’m patient and gentle and focused on keeping every dog safe and happy. I’m currently working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to care for the doggies. Im available to walk, pet sit, etc any day of the week. I have a fenced spacious backyard and three little pups to keep yours company. I make sure every pet is freshly bathed and house is cleaned. I make sure to follow the routine of the pets as needed.
About: Please look through my photos to get a bit of me in a snapshot! I have had pets all my life and I’ve been housesitting since I was 16 years old in high school. Now I’m a 27 year old Davis graduate who is still eager to help out with furry family’s in the community. I used to work with cats, and I have two of my own now, so I have quite a lot of experience with them. I had dogs growing up, and I've been taking care of other's dogs for the last 11 years. I have experience with oral medication for both dogs and cats. I have a bit of experience in pain management medications and scheduling. I have experience with anxious dogs and older dogs ranging from small to medium-large. I am often a busy person, so for me the most important aspect of working together is communication and honesty. If I feel like I can’t provide the services you are looking for, I will let you know quickly and truthfully. I know how scary it is to leave behind your pets and I want all of my clients to know I have their best interest in mind when booking. I am currently between jobs and taking a couple of online courses so I have a fully open and flexible schedule. I live in Davis and have my own cats that I attend to and love on, but I am also helping foster cats with my friend in Sacramento. I am comfortable in both Davis and Sacramento, and I spend a lot of time in both. I can always adjust my schedule to try and work something out that works for you and your pet. I have a fenced in yard and two cats that generally stay out of the way when a new friend is around. I live with one other person that is also very welcoming and friendly with new animals. We have plenty of places to explore with a decent sized backyard and 3 nearby parks. If I'm providing care in your home, simply explain what you're looking for and I will do my best to accommodate, or be honest if it's not something I can manage. Overnights and drop-ins should not be a problem as long as I can also drop in on my animals.
“Since going back to the office part-time it's been such a relief to have Danielle there for my two big shepherds. She's completely reliable and always keeps me in the loop about her schedule. Top marks!”

About: Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve been caring for pets for over 9 years and absolutely love spending time with pups of all sizes and personalities. From energetic walks to calm companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I also have a 2-year-old who joins me on walks, so I especially welcome family-friendly dogs who enjoy a little extra company and smiles along the way. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, playtime, or a gentle stroll, I’d love to help! I currently have a pretty open and flexible schedule! Mornings and mid day are best! The weekends are open 6am-3pm and Mon, Tues, Thurs, Friday I’m available 8am-1:30pm I have the utmost respect for other peoples homes! If I’m walking your pup I’ll make sure to enter and exit your home as if it were my own, maintaining your homes safety. If I’m dropping in for a visit I’ll make sure things are clean and put back where they were found before leaving.

“Carrie took great care of our Australian Cattle Dog. He was looking forward to seeing her everyday for walks! She is reliable and punctual. We will use Carrie again in the future. Thank you Carrie!”

“Erika was great!! She took the initiative to reach out and meet my babies prior to the scheduled walk (which I really appreciate). The pups loved her and were happy to spend time with her. Erika did an amazing job of providing me with a detailed summary of how their walks went, which was great! I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Shang was amazing with my dogs. She was always on time and communicated when she arrived at my house. One of my dogs requires more time to get comfortable with and Shang was very patient with him. She understood their own comfortability levels which allowed them to trust her. I can tell that the dogs are fond of her from the smiles in the photos she sends me! Shang is reliable, caring and I would recommend her to anyone looking for help with the pups!”

About: In past years I have raised, bred & cared for dogs of all types. I am an animal lover and strive for the health and happiness of all dogs. I have had 2 dogs of my own in the past but due to work schedule at the time were unable to have them. I would love to have furbabies of my own but understand that with three children of my own it would be a huge responsibility. I am looking to care for dogs to fill that emptiness. I am a part time attendance clerk and have plenty of time for long walks and many games of fetch. I want to take care of your furbabies and can guarantee peace of mind and satisfaction with my services. With my services I can commit to loving and walking adventures with your furbabies. As a part time clerk, pet care fits into my daily life because I am always outside and staying active. I am a homeowner of a property that has a fairly large front yard making it easy for me to care for pets as well as a stable means of transportation. As a pet lover I care for my clients pets as if they were my own. As if my own pets I would make sure all pets have enough time outdoors for play and potty breaks as well as ensuring they are comfortable in home if the weather permits.
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.
About: I have personally owned a dog (Paco) and a cat (Mr. Meow Meow) and have developed a tremendous understanding of their needs and an ability to walk them. I have done this for multiple years and this has included walks, feeding sessions, and baths. I am currently home for summer break so I will have tremendous flexibility to take care of your pet and give it the love and attention it deserves. I can walk your dog in a safe neighborhood that is dog friendly and my apartment has a cat and tremendous space for your dog/cat if needed.

“Jennifer and James are super responsive and always very accommodating, even when I’ve had to book a walk or drop-in visit at the last minute. They really care about my dog and do a wonderful job looking after her.”

Richardson Village dog parents share their Rover experiences
Andrea has been walking my dog Jack for a a couple of weeks now and he has been so happy with her! He is skiddish and shy, but has taken very well to Andrea, which I think speaks well of her! They walk during lunch and he is so much more calmer in the afternoons and when I get home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Paula is wonderful with my dogs. She has that calm, grounded energy that my reactive pitbull loves and trusts. She checks in regularly with photos, and my dogs are always happy and relaxed when they come back from walks with her. I highly recommend her, she’s reliable, punctual, calm, and truly a dog person.
Kalina has definitely exceeded my expectations as a dog walker. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring/loving towards my fur babies. At first contact, she responded very quickly and was willing to meet the next day on such short notice. Kalina was very patient with my boy, Ghost, especially when he hid under the bed for 30 mins during the first scheduled walk. She contacted me immediately to figure out next steps. Kalina wanted to respect my dog's comfortability, which I very much appreciated. The same day, Ghost warmed up to her and both of my dogs ended up enjoying the outdoors. Kalina made sure to communicate when she arrived at the house and left, also included pictures for me to see. I can tell that both Ghost and Hazel love her! Kalina did such an amazing job and I would recommend her to anyone seeking help with their fur babies. They are in great hands with her!
