Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Richmond American Homes, Davis, CA

“Elise did a fantastic job watching our elderly, very particular dog. He normally is very scared of strangers, and will sometimes not go outside for walks with sitters. Elise did a great job of gaining his trust and getting him out! She was very accommodating, and on time.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles! Old or young I’ve done it all! Grooming, medication, no worries for me! During my time in the military I also had training with military K-9’s! So if you have a slightly more aggressive dog that may worry you for scheduling a pet sitter, I’m your guy! M-W-F (Overnight or late Evening) T-Th (Late Evening) Sat-Sun (Anytime) Please do let me at least 1-Day in advance prior to cancellation for adjustments, Thanks! I have a completely closed off section that my little babies have for their own pleasure and comfort, no interactions between them and your pet!

About: I’ve taken care of dog for with more than 5 years. I personally have two dogs in the house which are 10 lbs and 30 lbs. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered before for a rescue. I’ve also been providing boarding service for my friends with at least 6 dogs, pictures are included in my profile. All the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. I’ve successfully taking care of 5 dogs at one time including two puppies. I’m a recent graduate at UC Davis, and currently WFH all day. I will walk dogs twice a day and give them bathroom break at least 4-5 times every day. I have a fenced yard in the house. All the dogs will be separated when I’m not at home. For safety reasons, dogs will stay in the crate when humans are not around but they can be on furniture once humans are presented.

About: I grew up around dogs, and always knew I would want one of my own. I finally adopted my beagle rescue mix, Busy, three years ago! Being a dog mom has deepened my love for all creatures and I value any time I get to spend with all types of furry friends! I have experience with puppy training, administering medications, senior care, and more :) I am a graduate student at UCD currently on summer break! My research schedule is very flexible so I would love to come care for your puppy anytime of day :) I am happy to come take your dog for a mini adventure, hang out at your house, or anything in between! If your dog would enjoy a furry friend, my dog can tag along or she can stay at home. I have experience with crate training dogs, walking/playing with reactive dogs, puppies, and elderly dogs.

About: Hi! My name is Tenaya and I'm currently a graduate student at UC Davis. I grew up around animals and now I have a cat named Gnocchi. I worked as a veterinary assistant for three years, so I'm comfortable with animals of all ages and I'm capable of administering medications. I also have experience taking care of a range of exotic animals from working at an animal sanctuary. As a student, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I can usually create availability during the day, depending on your pet's needs. As someone who has worked with animals for several years, I understand that each pet is unique and may require special care and attention. I really love animals and will do my best to care for your pet as you would!

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 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 2.5 year old daughter. 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 children. 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, I'm Valerie! I am a devoted pet enthusiast with 7 years of hands-on experience at home and local pet rescues. During my time there, I took on a variety of responsibilities including feeding, walking, bating, playing, and even training pets occasionally. Whether it's ensuring their daily needs are met or handling more specialized care, I've got it covered. With a background of vet intern, I am also comfortable with administering medications. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of creating a safe and loving environment. I am thrilled and look forward to brining my skills to your pets! I am currently working a part-time job, which gives me great flexibility to care for your pets! I usually only work a couple hours in the afternoon, so I have time in the morning, early afternoon, and night! I want to ensure that you, your pet, and I are a perfect match. My approach begins with a sit-down session to understand your pet's routine, preferences, and your expectations. I believe open communication is key, so if any questions or concerns arise, I'll reach out immediately. I understand that entrusting someone with you beloved pet can be anxiety-inducing, and I'm here to alleviate that stress. I'll keep you connected through regular updates, whether that's sending pictures of your furry friend or providing text updates. Rest assured, I'm dedicated to creating a comfortable and happy experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind.

“She is very nice and has a good response time to messages. I felt very safe leaving my two kitties with her and we got plenty of photos and updates.”

Madeline G.

“Allison was a great pet sitter and I would highly recommend her. She was very reliable and I appreciated the photos she sent after visits. I could tell when I returned that our cats were looked after very well. I will definitely seek her out the next time we need a pet sitter.”

About: I grew up in multi dog homes with large and small breeds (a Lab, a Weimie, a GSP, and 2 frenchies). I have PLENTY of experience walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up after, and interpreting body language of dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs in every life stage including puppies and seniors. Having a dog of my own hasn’t been feasible since moving to Davis for various reasons but I miss having furry companions! I’ve been getting my fix by walking and sitting for my friends and coworkers as well as volunteering with the “Barks and Rec” program at the Bradshaw Animal Shelter. An awesome program where shelter dogs get some much needed time out of the shelter and in front of potential adopters. The German Shepherd (named Dexter) in my profile picture was my last dog through the program and we had a lovely time walking along the American River. I work full time as a researcher in the agricultural biotech space. My hours are a bit flexible but usually hover around the 9am-4pm range. On weekdays, I’d be available for drop in visits/walks in the morning before work and in the afternoons after work. If necessary, a lunchtime visit may be feasible. Weekends are very flexible! You know your pet best! I’m most comfortable following your tried and true routines and rules so you and your pup can feel comfortable and at ease knowing I’m caring for them exactly as you would.

“Our Riley loves Jenna! We appreciate that Jenna is detailed in her feedback about visits. Jenna supports our training by doing the same when she is with our dog. Knowing Jenna is spending time with Riley has put us at ease when we are away.”

Sydney D.

“Esmerilda is a phenomenal cat sitter! I am so grateful for her careful attention to detail and her loving care for our pets. She made our cats comfortable, which meant a lot to us since they are anxious when we are away. I highly recommend booking her!”

Katlin S.

“Yessel was exceptional in her care of our 10 month old puppy. I had such a great impression from our meet and greet session and I felt such a relief to know Ryoma would be well looked after. She even fed my senior kitty who is declining. Yessel provided excellent care with calm, genuine kindness, and attention to every detail and need. She was very polite, responsible, careful, caring and she communicated thoroughly. Ryoma was so well taken care of and Yessel went above and beyond to ease any inkling of worry his Grami, a worrier, might have had. I highly recommend her; I would definitely use her again and I couldn’t be happier!”
