7. Holly D.
About: I have helped train many puppies. I love dogs of all breeds and have specifically worked with Great Danes. I have experience helping senior dogs and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am currently a full time student but am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings since I have a flexible class schedule. I am available for walks and feeding schedules, I have up to 5 hour breaks in between classes and can accommodate for specific needs. Since I live in a pet friendly apartment I do not have a yard but there is a park directly across from my complex and I live in a very walkable area. In my home pets are allowed on the couches and beds. I have one roommate, she is also pet friendly. Additionally my apartment is very cozy and spacious enough for zoomies. **My apartment does have stairs so if your dog has any health issues that make it difficult walking up stairs this may not be the best environment for your pet**
8. Alondra G.

9. Zoe W.
“Excellent communication and so patient with my enthusiastic, energetic puppy! Lucy came home happy and tired after a 60 minute walk and play.”
10. Trinity B.
“Trinity is an amazing pet caregiver who used to walk my dog regularly. She’s incredibly dependable and always showed up on time, rain or shine. My dog absolutely loved her! Trinity is gentle, patient, and attentive to every pet’s unique needs, making sure they feel safe and loved. She would send me updates and pictures during their walks, which always reassured me that my dog was in great hands. I highly recommend Trinity to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and trustworthy pet caregiver!”
11. Daniel N.
“Daniel is reliable, caring, and professional. He has taken care of my dog and cat consistently for the past 3 years and never fails to treat them like they’re his own. He keeps constant communication with me so I don’t ever feel guilty about leaving my pets, and they are always happy and healthy when I get back home. I can’t recommend him enough!”
12. Leora T.
“Leora is the perfect person to trust with your beloved dog! As a devoted dog lover, she will care for your furry friend as if it were her own. Other than taking care, she’ll also keep your dog entertained with plenty of playtime, ensuring they’re never bored.”
13. Dina M.
About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet experience, I have developed a deep understanding and profound love for animals of all kinds. My journey began with adopting my first dog, a lively mixed breed, which ignited my passion for animal welfare. Over the years, my home has been a sanctuary for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and even reptiles (upon occasion). I work from home most of the week, so I have a flexible schedule to meet the needs of other working professionals that are looking for a reliable, passionate pet sitter to take their fur babies on walks (or runs) while keeping them within their familiar environment. Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to welcome any pets in my house. I have fur babies of my own that I do not wish to upset their home life.
14. Maddie L.
“I can’t give her enough stars! Maddie was very professional, met me the night before, interacted with my dog and spent the full 30 min with him for both of the walks. I highly recommend her.”
15. Holly K.
“Holly is great with my dog and my kitties.”
16. Katie V.
About: I've assisted a vet with labors along with working at a dog resort with puppies and seniors including the proper care, naps, play times, etc. I am available any day of the week including weekends or holidays during the school year. I mainly dedicate my time studying as a UC Davis pre-vet major student, along with exploring Davis as I am a transfer student from UC Santa Cruz! Although, I am a full time student, I do have breaks in between my classes to provide services since I have a car! I am from the Bay Area, San Francisco which I also provide services back home! With many years of experience owning 5 dogs, I quickly recognize the pets' favorite spots in their home; therefore, I like to care for pets in their home environment.
17. Ava P.
About: Other than caring for my own pets my whole life, I have cared for family and friend’s dogs regularly for many years. Since moving away to college, I am looking to connect with new dog parents to continue being that person that families can trust with their loved one. I have experience with many dog breeds and ages, and welcome the challenge of any high demand doggies! I am currently available during the week and weekends excluding monday and wednesday. I have short morning classes on thursday and friday and a longer class tuesday but other than that am very available for overnight/day care. For drop-ins and walking services on days that I have classes I am available before, in-between, and after classes so feel free to ask about my current class schedule. When staying in someone’s home, I make sure to be beyond respectful of the house and its belongings, as well as any given rules or instructions.
18. Marcella R.
“It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Marcella Renati who looked after our 15 years old dog Miss Bee. Marcella has a genuine love for animals and this she shows to her own dog Enzo , but also when caring for other people’s pets. We left Miss Bee in the care of Marcella when we traveled over the Christmas holidays to Europe. It was the first time we had not put her in kennels and left her for over two weeks. Marcella was patient and gentle and attuned to dealing with our elderly dog. Marcella is very reliable. She fed Miss B twice a day and was comfortable giving her tablets. She also took her for walks daily. She kept everything very neat and tidy, cleaning up when necessary. We knew that Miss Bee was in capable and caring hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Marcella to anyone in need of a dog walker and sitter. She is reliable, and has a genuine love for dogs which makes her the perfect choice. With Marcella, you can rest assured that your furry family members will receive the utmost care and attention.”
19. hanna g.
“Hanna took excellent care of my pets. One of my dogs, Dusty, is old and difficult to deal with. Dusty typically has accidents everywhere around the house, gets in the trash, and refuses to go outside. Hanna handled her perfectly. Not only did she exercise Dusty daily, but she was also able to administer her oral medication. On top of handling Dusty, she gave lots of attention to my 3 cats. Hanna fed them, gave them water, and played around with them for even longer than I paid her for. Overall 10/10 experience. Handles challenging situations very calmly and does not become overwhelmed!”
20. Rebekah H.
“Rebekah was great with Nialls and Charlie. She walked them for me weekdays while I was house sitting (rain or shine). I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
