1. Misha D.

“Misha was wonderful. She stepped in last-minute and was great to our pup, Scout, who was relaxed enough to nap during most of her house sitting situation. She sent several photos of our pets which was greatly appreciated!”


2. Matthew D.

“I can’t say enough great about Matthew! He watched my elderly, somewhat failing, blind old dog and was the only one that could make her eat. He stayed 24/7, and when I came home, it was as if a cleaner had cleaned up even some leftover mess in my house. Spotless. Very good about coming before hand to meet my dog. Good communicator daily. Now I know I can leave my pup for vacations with a clear mind! Matt loves animals and I could see it. Matt was the best sitter I’ve ever had near as a pin when spending nights. Able to get my old, blind dog to eat; I even have a hard time doing then. So cuddly with her that I learned to step up giving this blind dog touch. I returned and she was not freaked out. I hope to use this gentle guy again!”

“Vita did a great job with our dog during a recent stay in Davis! She was reliable and very caring. We will definitely book her again on our next trip to Davis.”


4. Carey C.

“Carey did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated on his activities, shared several pictures, and made sure he was well looked after. She also took good care of our home, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to book her again in the future and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable dog sitter!”


5. Nora S.

“Nora was wonderful with our senior dog. Great communication, very sweet and the house was just as we left it. Would definitely book again. Thanks, Nora!”

7. Esmerilda R.

“Esmerelda is always amazing with our spoiled fur babies. It’s so nice knowing that they are getting lots of love and attention when we are away.”


8. Daniella H.

“Dani was so sweet and great with our dogs! She played ball with them in our backyard. She sent us photos and updates daily. When we got home our house was cleaner than we left it! Definitely recommend Dani.”


9. Carla T.

“We asked Carla to dogsit our golden doodle this weekend. She did a fantastic job from start to finish. Carla came.to our house to meet Teddy and become familiar with her personality. Carla communicated with us through out the weekend, updating us with pictures and short texts. It is common for Teddy not to eat while we are gone, but because Carla made her feel calm, she ate the first evening Carla came. Carla left our home clean and in order. We highly recommend her to you and will be calling her in the future.”


10. Gabriella G.
“Gabriella has a super special place in her heart for animals! She is very caring and is always concerned for their well being from feeding to grooming and of course providing enormous amounts of love and attention 🥰. A bit of an animal whisper at times.”

14. Anna G.


“Anna was very communicative and my pup loved spending the day with her! She remembered details about his dietary restrictions and made sure he had lots of exercise. I came home to a happy dog.”


15. Kersten P.
“Kersten has been an absolute lifesaver for my family! From the moment I met her I knew she'd take amazing care of my dog and 2 cats. She's always on time and she's amazing at following the instructions we give her, and she always goes above and beyond to make sure our little guys gets the care they deserve. She even taught them tricks! Needless to say, Kersten is a compassionate and reliable petsitter and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other families looking for someone to take great care of their pets.”


16. Yessel J.
“I can't recommend Yessel highly enough as a pet sitter and dog walker! Yessel takes care of my dog, Allie, with exceptional dedication and love. Every time she comes over, it's clear how much she adores Allie. Yessel showers her with so much love and attention, always playing with her and making sure she feels happy and cared for. It's evident that her passion for animals shines through in every interaction with Allie. Yessel is responsible, and reliable, and goes above and beyond to ensure Allie is well-exercised and entertained. I couldn't ask for a better person to look after my beloved pet. If you're looking for someone who truly loves animals and provides top-notch care, Yessel is the perfect choice!”


17. Emma H.
“Emma did a fantastic job watching my bunny for a week. The space was kept clean, and my little one seemed really content when I got back. She’s clearly great with animals and takes pet sitting seriously. As someone who worries about leaving their pet, I felt completely comfortable with Emma in charge. Would definitely book her again!”


18. Ashley W.

“Ashley is great and someone you can trust 100%”

About: I have owned a few dogs in my lifetime and as of 5 years ago I started caring for my neighbors’ dogs all throughout Davis! I typically stay the night and give them playtime in the backyard or walks.. whatever is needed, I’m there. I have experience with administering oral medication to dogs. I’m a recent UC Santa Cruz graduate with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and I’m currently looking for wildlife technician jobs as well as applying to grad school. I’m a part time caregiver at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I make sure to ask all the right questions in case of emergency and for the comfort of the pets. I like to get written lists of everything that needs to be done while the owners are away, this helps with any clarifying questions I may have!

About: I have babysat my family member’s pets for the last 2 years. I love animals, I have 2 dogs of my own who I love dearly. My Chihuahua is 12 years olds and my Pomeranian mix is 3 years old. I had taken in my Pomeranian mix puppy from someone I know because they couldn’t care for her like she should be and have had her for a year now. Animals have a special place in my heart and I would love to care and love all of them like I’ve known them for years. We can workout a schedule and I could go around what your schedule is like. I do have another job, but I will always be willing to figure things out to helps with both our schedules. I take my pets on walks or adventure to the lake or the park. I feed them 3 times a day and play with them whenever they want to. Right now they currently don’t live with me because I moved down here for school, but that is their usually routine at home. For my clients I do pop in and out to feed and take out their pets and babysit them whenever they are out of town or busy. I make sure the pets are happy and healthy when I check up on them.
