Dog Boarding Royal Oaks

“Wen is amazing caretaker. I felt happy and at ease with having my cats with her. She made sure they were comfortable, loved, well fed and happy in their stay. Definitely getting her again in the future. Recommend to any pet parent.”

Kabita G.

“Edward had another wonderful stay with Jessie. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s so much happier staying with her than at a boarding kennel and she takes great care of him.”

Elizabeth W.

“Ann is nothing but amazing. Jordan seemed to have really enjoyed her stay, and I couldn’t be happier with Ann’s. Communication and care while we were away! She kept me updated she sent pictures. Would definitely board our pet with her again.”

Jiyeon K.

“Marina and Katrina were very sweet and relaxed and sent lots of pics. What luck to find them on such short notice!”

Barbara C.

“XingYuan is definitely an animal lover. She takes care of your little fur ball as if it were her own. She was very easy to communicate with and sent tons of pictures and videos each day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND XingYuan!!!!!!!”

Nathan B.

“Jiajie was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my puppy and was incredibly attentive the whole time. She sent me tons of updates, photos, and videos every day, which made me feel so reassured and at ease while I was away. Communication was super smooth — she was always responsive, friendly, and patient, and you can really tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. My puppy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I picked her up. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Jiajie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and responsible. I would 100% book with her again!”

“Josefina was a perfect match for Scooby. She is attentive to his needs and super friendly. I’m so glad we brought Scooby to stay with her.”

Austin L.

“Eva was friendly, creating the booking was easy as she is responsive and accommodated my times. My cat seemed to have enjoyed her stay and was walking around casually when I went to pick her up.”

Lily M.

“I highly recommend Pandi and her husband Tim. They both work from home and we’re very attentive to the details of my dog’s care. Their two school-age kids and little dog Scruffy made for a fun, active stay. I appreciated the photos and updates too.”

Jill Y.

“Negin was very communicative and nice. Sent lots of updated and took my dog on long walks. Highly recommend her”

Gharam J.

“We booked Roy because our previous sitter canceled and Roy was quick to respond and very willing to take care of Rudy. Rudy is a Doby in his teenage phase so he has a lot of energy and Roy was ready to take that on. He gave Rudy lots of attention and play time and Rudy had a blast. We felt so relaxed on our trip because we knew Rudy was in good hands. Highly recommend Roy for your sitter!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with about five years of hands-on pet sitting experience. Growing up around animals has given me a natural comfort with them, and over the years I've cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Some of the breeds I've looked after include Golden Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Beagles, Corgis, and plenty of wonderful mixed breeds. I've also cared for cats here and there—and while I'm slightly allergic, that has never stopped me from giving them the love and attention they deserve. One of my most memorable experiences was caring for nine pets at the same time alongside my girlfriend: two cats, three adult rescue dogs, and four brand-new puppies. It definitely kept us busy, but it reinforced how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure each one receives the care, patience, and attention they need. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I recently graduated from UC Davis and am currently in an in-between stage before starting the next chapter of my career. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or your cat prefers a calm companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently live in an apartment complex in Davis with no fenced in yard but a lot of great walking paths nearby as well as a big park for some running around if they want to play some ball! There are also no other pets in the home.

“Great communication and flexibility. Dropped off feeling reassured he would do well and have a good time, then on pickup was reassured he had behaved himself. Good all the way around.”

Catherine M.

“Mehma was great and really helped me out with last-minute boarding! From the update pictures she sent, it looked like my beagle Stuey had a great time with Mehma.”

About: Hi there ☀️ I'm a pet lover and Stage 4 lymphoma patient. I love animals and joined Rover as part of my healing journey 🐾 It would be a pleasure to help take care of your furbaby. I have been a prior volunteer with Guide Dogs for the Blind, Berkeley Humane + the Yolo county SPCA 🧡 ☀️I am healing from chemo this summer + have flexible availability to help care for your pet. I am also working on my dog training certification and hope to be able to offer those services soon 💖 I look forward to honoring your preferences for your pets care, prioritizing their safety and sending you pics + updates from caring for your pet

“Nayzeth took amazing care of my dog Elvis! She texted me pictures and updates every day! I could tell that she. really cared about my dog and wanted to do anything she could to make sure that he was happy while he was with them. I highly recommend Nayzeth when considering a sitter for your pets!!”

About: Hello, my name is Esmerilda. I graduated from UC Davis with a B.S. in Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology and am in search of dog walking, training, bathing, and pet sitting positions to help me pay off student loans. Aspiring veterinarians usually know they have a special gift with animals as a child, as I discovered at the age of 7. Thus, I have been involved in the husbandry of my own dogs, cats, and exotic animals the majority of my life! Due to my extensive experience as a lab animal technician, kennel attendant, and shelter volunteer, I have 6 years of professional experience in animal husbandry. During the year of the notorious Camp Fire, I worked as a veterinary assistant at the UC Davis Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital to 4th year veterinary students with disabilities during their clinical year. As their "right hand woman", I provided various accommodations for physical and intellectual limitations in order to facilitate their success. I was directly involved with the treatment of animal patients in ophthalmology, cardiology, community practice, community surgery, companion avian and pet exotics, dentistry, dermatology, internal medicine, neurology, shelter medicine & surgery, anesthesia, behavior, and nutrition. For several years, I also gained technical skills as a veterinary assistant in small veterinary hospitals and for the nonprofit Mercer Clinic for the Pets of the Homeless. Thus, I am exceptionally knowledgeable in the field of veterinary medicine. At the client's request, I also offer one on one obedience training on walks, baths, nail trimming, syringe feeding, and transportation to veterinary appointments for an additional charge (not listed). I have committed my 'gap year' before veterinary school to providing my sevices on Rover- ensuring your pet receives the highest quality of care and love while you are away. Please do not hesitate in contacting me so I may meet my new fur (or scaled or feathered) buddy. Thank you for your time and consideration :) ANIMALS ARE MY LIFE. NO, SERIOUSLY! I work full time an animal caretaker unless my calendar is marked as I'm unavailable because I scheduled a vacation to combat caretaker fatigue, I am available, 24 (like Kobe) hours , 7 days a week , rain and shine ! 🌞 I am an observant, vigilant pet owner myself and strive to go above and beyond in maintaining a secure and clean environment for your animal(s) as well. I have experience adhering to strict animal protocols within both veterinary hospital and laboratory settings, thus applying these skills as your animal caretake/technician within your home. Please notify me if your pet is an escape artist, uses a crate, what your boundaries are (i.e. furniture or specific areas off-limits), if your pet uses an e-collar or GPS collar, and the like! As always, your dog gets my full attention—walks are always private and limited to dogs from the same household.

“Lily had a great time.”

“My pups loved staying at Marya’s and I could tell they were well taken care of. Lots of photos and updates, and Marya was really great with communication and coordinating drop off and pick up times. I recommended her to my friend who lives in the area, and I hope my pups can stay here again next time we’re in town!”

Lena A.

“Rebecca looked after my dog Belle overnight. Good communication, easy to book with. She was very flexible on timing and accommodated a very early drop off. Lots of photos and she gave my dog a little gift which was very kind of her. Would recommend. Thanks so much!”
