House Sitting in University Avenue, Davis, CA

“This was Holly’s first time with Vita and needless to say Holly gives her 5 stars for playing ball with her for two hours! We’ve already booked Vita for her next sit!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“My dog Copper is a rescue and was severely abused prior to me adopting him. He is very shy and scared of people but Mackenzie made him comfortable from their first interaction. She is patient with animals and understands dog behavior. I am quite a picky dog parent, but I trust Mackenzie to take care of Copper in every aspect.”

“This is the 2nd time Mya has house/pet sat for us and I feel very comfortable with her in my home! And our skittish dog seems to be warming up to her, which is always a good sign!”

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!

“I have trusted the care of my pets to Alondra on many occasions and each time I know they are receiving the same level of care and attention that I would to my girls. I have two dogs, both high energy, and Alondra cares for them with the highest quality. Not only that, but she has experience in the veterinary field, so I know if my pups run into any issues or emergencies, she will be there to help handle them with ease and experience.”

“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.”

“10/10 would recommend! Ariana was great with my dog Roshi! I have a 11 year old senior dog who sometimes needs extra help and Ariane made sure she her needs were always met. My dog loves long walks but usually needs help getting home at the end of them. At home we would carry her home or put her in her little backpack. We gave Ariane the backpack carrier to use for Roshi which can pose issues for some people but she was able to get Roshi in and out of it no problem. She was also very considerate with sending frequent photos of Roshi so I could see how she was doing while I was away. Defiantly a person I trust with my baby and would hire again!”

About: I have had a pet dog for several years in the past, and I more recently have been connected to households in my hometown neighborhood to provide petsitting care for 7 households so far. Having worked with aging and young dogs, and am able to administer medication and make sure they are nourished and able to exercise. I have also had the pleasure to care for chickens and cats. Additionally, I spent a year developing technician skills in professional pet grooming services in a veterinary setting. My passion for animal care began when I started volunteering with training and socializing cats and dogs at my local animal shelter. Last summer, I worked with baby birds at a wildlife clinic. I go to school at UC Davis and work part time. I am generally not busy outside the home for necessarily more than 5 hours at a time. Weekends and mornings I am available. I would be happy to care for your pet at your home, but am open to the discussion of any alternative arrangements. I am practiced at being a housesitter or dog walker.

“We got introduced to Esmerilda through a mutual connection and from the moment we met her we knew she’d be a great fit for our felines! As an aspiring veterinarian, Esmerilda has great attention to detail and is confident in handling pets with special needs or complicated medical demands. We had her house/pet sit for us for 10 days while we were out of the country and never once did we have a worry about how things were going. It’s great that we have found our best friends’ new best friend!”

“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.”

“Holly was absolutely amazing with our two high energy pups! Our little dog Yuki has a hard time meeting new people, but Holly was great with her and Yuki warmed up to her much faster than she usually does! Our other dog Birdie needs a lot of exercise and Holly went out of her way to make sure she was tired out. She followed all instructions to a T and communicated well with updates and photos. We'd have her back anytime. Thanks Holly :)”

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

“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!”

“I can't say enough good things about Natalie! She has always been such a reliable caregiver for my pet and my family’s pets. From the moment I met her, Natalie has showed such a genuine love for animals and carries herself with grace and professionalism. Our dog, Obie, absolutely adores her, and it’s clear that Natalie goes above and beyond to ensure that all of our pets are not just cared for, but truly enjoyed and pampered. She always provides regular updates, photos, and videos, which always put our minds at ease while we're away. I can tell she really connects with our pets and cares for them as if they were her own. Natalie is reliable, kind, and attentive to every need, and we trust her completely. I am so grateful for her help and would recommend her without hesitation!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Gabi has always had a special bond with dogs and animals in general. She is so caring, responsible, and reliable! Furthermore, she loves going on walks, and loves walking dogs even more!”
