“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. From cats, to smaller dogs, to large golden doodles, I’ve had the pleasure of watching a variety of animals. I’ve watched animals overnight while administering medicine, so I have experience with both boarding and taking care of the animal’s health. That includes senior animals that need extra love in diapers or extra medicine. I also am pursuing an animals degree, so I understand the basic functions of animals. I work part time 3 days a week, but go home every two hours so I would be able to regularly check on your animal. The rest of my week is free and I would dedicate plenty of time to your pet. I have a fenced backyard with a doggie door that can be opened or closed. This allows animals to either have unlimited access to the outside or controlled access depending on the animal and owner’s preference. I have no resident animals in the house so your pet will receive all my attention! Two other adults in the house to give extra love!
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Martha May while she boarded our dog, Loki. From the moment we connected, Martha was caring, kind, and incredibly communicative throughout his stay. She provided regular updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us peace of mind and helped us better understand Loki's needs for future boarding visits. It was clear that Martha May genuinely cared about Loki's comfort and well-being, and he was well cared for during his time with her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to share helpful observations made the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Martha May to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We would be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“Beyond fantastic! Kasandra kept our cocker while we were away for 2 weeks. Not only was he very well cared for—he was actually better than when we left him! He is way calmer and has better manners than he had at drop off. Kasandra gave me some pointers that will help me a lot with him at home. This gal is a dog whisperer!! I could not be more grateful. Thank you Kasandra!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Kathleen. She has such a genuine passion and love for dogs. My pup took to her right off the bat, I’ve never seen him trot off with a stranger so willingly. She is so knowledgeable and understanding, I felt comfortable leaving him with her through the 4th of July holiday weekend. She managed firework anxiety like a pro. She took amazing care of him and he came home totally happy and tuckered out. I can tell he had a good time. I will definitely be booking again.”
“Gidget had a blast staying a few days at Michael and Melissa's home. Bonus...she got to play with kids, Mr Bubbles and a bird!!!! Michael and Melissa were very accommodating. Gidget is looking forward to the next visit! Highly recommend for your furry family member if it's for a day or several days!”
“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!!!!!!!”
“We had another fantastic experience leaving our dog, Cooper, in Miya’s care! It’s so reassuring to enjoy our vacation knowing that Cooper is safe and receiving such genuine, attentive care. We don't live that close, but honestly, we’re more than happy to make the drive because Miya is just that good. We’ll definitely continue to book with her!”
“Kazue is everything you can ever ask for in a dog sitter. Very quick communication. Sends photos of my dog every morning, midday, and evening. She even folded my dog’s blanket and washed his bowls prior to me picking up my dog. She is absolutely wonderful!”
“Jessica was incredible!! Twitch came back rested and calm, Jessica provided pictures and updates nearly everyday . We enjoyed our vacation without any stress knowing our dog was in such good hands. Would definitely board with Jessica in the future! Thanks again!”
“Erica was amazing with my pup! She was patient and understanding. She was very flexible with me and Wren and I felt very comfortable with her the first time we met! I will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Lupe was amazing with Mia! I was gone for a long holiday trip and haven’t been away from her longer than a week and Lupe immediately welcomed Mia into her home and treated her like one of her own family members. Her home is beautiful and spacious for Mia to play, I got lots of updates and pictures and she made me feel at ease immediately about leaving Mia behind. I can’t thank her and her family enough and I couldn’t think of a better place for Mia to stay while I was away ❤️”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Friends and family have trusted me for walks, feeding, playtime, and snuggles. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m dependable, patient, and love giving every pet the same care I give my own. I’m a full-time student with open blocks throughout the day and weekends free, making it easy for me to fit in walks, feedings, and quality time with your pets. I care for pets in their own homes so they feel safe and loved. I stick to their usual routines, give lots of playtime and cuddles, and make sure they’re happy while you’re away.

“Nianna was friendly and very thorough. My cats got all the attention they needed. Most importantly she made sure Vernes meds were administered. She even made sure they got to watch cat TV so they were entertained. She let me know when she arrive… and when she was leaving and soon after gave me a summary. Excellent pet sitter !”
About: I grew up with three cats and helped take care of them. I also have experience looking after my friends and family’s cats. I absolutely love hanging out with cats and their personalities. I’m also good with cats from all ages and temperaments!
About: Ived taken care and loved many dogs growing up I’m very experienced with dogs of any age, family and friends have replied on me to sit for their pets while away on trips At the moment I’m home all day morning and afternoon, once I’m back at work I will be mostly available afternoons and weekends but willing to make schedule changes I live in an apartment with a small fenced patio but will mostly be taking your fur baby out for walks and potty breaks, I currently do not have any other dogs or cats.
“Thank you for taking such good care of Bodhi and showing him lots of love, Chelsea. We really appreciated all of the pictures you took and brushing his long hair. We highly recommend you and will rebook in future.”
About: From a young age, cats have always held a special place in my heart. Whether it's interactive play or simply a cozy lap for cuddles, I make sure each cat gets the attention they deserve. I also send daily updates with photos and videos if requested, so owners can have a peace of mind, knowing their furry friends are in capable and caring hands.
About: I have taken care of cats for almost all my life. My family has trusted me to take care of them, feed them, and play with them when they go on trips. I also clean their litter weekly and wash their food and water bowls everyday.
“Steven is a wonderful kitty sitter! He always communicated when he was on his way to come feed, water and play with both our cats. He ensured that they got a good amount of play with their favorite toys (strings on sticks of course) and even got our old man to play a little more than he normally does. When we got back home, the cats seemed relaxed and content with Stevens care also! No one seem frazzled and they loved him too. He always sent us fun photos of them eating and playing. We really appreciate his effort and commitment to care for our kitties! Thank you Steven! We hope to work with you again!”
About: Although I currently do not have a dog of my own, I have had dogs in my family since I was 8 years old and have learned that they can have the best and funniest personalities and I love making a dog feel welcome anywhere and that they always know that somebody cares for them the way they care for their owner. I’ve been pet sitting for over 3 years and currently have a cat so i know how to take care of them as well in case you have both cats and dogs! I’m currently attending Woodland Community College and am a associates graduate of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Since I only go to school and am trying to work remotely, I’ll have plenty of time for your pets and most if not all afternoons of the week can walk them. I constantly make sure my pets are okay with what they’re eating, drinking, how they act, if it’s unusual or usual and take a pet’s physical and mental health very seriously as I’ve had to put down many of my family’s own dogs in the past when they became ill and know the emotional toll it can be for the owners.
About: I keep up to date on tips and tricks for dog care! I used to work for Bark Magazine, as well as a pet sitting company based in Davis. I have experience dog sitting all sizes of dog (from Chihuahuas to Danes!) as well as cats! I have experience sitting pups training to become well-behaved and responsible dogs. (behavior, potty, etc.) Message me and we can make sure your fur family is well taken care of! I am working full-time at the moment, so I am available most days during/around midday. I am good to work around your schedule if you have work during the day as well! If the ground/cement it too hot for walks I'll try to get dogs to play or run around in whatever area is available (backyard/larger living space). I usually like to take them to parks, when the weather is nice. I’ve always taken care of pets, whether for my family, neighbors, or clients! I often like taking walks during lunch so walking or visiting pets during that time is very normal for me. I love to use what is available to me! If you have a small yard or a nice walkway near your home, I’ll make the most of it. Same goes for cats, a good toy basket or a nice place to find them is always helpful!
About: My name is Hannah and I am a lifelong cat lover. I had cat (s) growing up since I was old enough to remember, and I’ve always been smitten by their playful and curious nature. I have a 3 1/2 year-old male gray and white cat of my own that I rescued from an abandoned apartment. We enjoy going on lil walks around my complex and learning new tricks! Well, most pet sitting business is focused primarily on dogs, I feel it’s essential to give cats the same focus. I have had years of experience with all different kinds of cats and have even helped a family friends cat give birth twice.
About: I’ve always had family pets and have a dog of my own now. I will follow your pets schedule and always make sure they have water and get lots of love and care. I am home Friday-Sunday and can go home for lunch Wednesday and Thursday. And I can drop in frequently on days that I am available. I love my dog and she’s one of the family. I don’t want her to be alone long and would care for your pets like my own. I have a fenced yard. Dogs are allowed on the furniture.

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I remember. I have had many dogs of my own over the years who I have cared for dearly. I have taken care of puppies all the way to senior dogs. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on your fur baby and send you updates throughout the stay, so you won’t have to worry about anything. I have plenty of time in my hands to be able to watch over your pets at all times. I’ll have enough time to be able to take them on walks around the neighborhood, and as well to play with them. Your pet will have my full time and love. I have a fenced yard that your pet is able to use to run around in or play. I as well have two dogs of my own who are super friendly and would love to play with your furry friend. If needed I could crate my own pets to guarantee the safety of your pet so it can enjoy its free roaming space without worrying.
“Valerie was amazing! We reached out just one day before we needed someone to watch our dog, Choco, and she was incredibly accommodating. She was very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything so much easier for us. Throughout Choco’s stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time with her. We’re very grateful for the excellent care she gave Choco and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. We highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Jessie was great! She was able to do a last-minute daycare/meet-and-greet for my dog, which I really appreciated. It was nice to see how well he settled into her space, and the photo updates were much appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m planning to book with Jessie again!”
“Kathleen was able to modify our two walks and turn it into a day stay so Coco wouldn’t be alone all day. Kathleen is reliable and conscientious. Coco took to her immediately & looks forward to her walks and rides around town (when it’s too hot to do anything else). Feel so fortunate to have someone like Kathleen take care of my Coco as if she were her own.”
“I needed someone last minute for daycare for my dog. Lilly was very responsive and was able to pick up my request no problem, and Astro seemed like he had a great day with her. Would definitely book again.”
“Emily was great with Cosmo. She was understandable and accommodating to him. Great communication, which made me comfortable leaving Cosmo with her. Highly recommended. Would definitely book with her again in the future”
“"I couldn’t be more grateful for the care my dogs received! I have a special needs dog with separation anxiety, and she was incredibly understanding and patient, working with his specific needs. She made sure he felt safe and comfortable throughout her time with him. She was also amazing with my energetic puppy, keeping him entertained and engaged. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the well-being of the dogs she sits for. Highly recommend!"”
“Giezell watched our toy poodle for a few hours and provided us with photos and videos throughout stay. We picked up our dog about 20 minutes late and she was very understanding and accommodating. We’ll definitely book Giezell again if we’re ever in the area!”
“Ally was so sweet and we could tell she really wanted Opal to be comfortable. We got lots of updates which we appreciated and would absolutely have Ally watch Opal again when we’re in town next!”
“Teddy had a great afternoon and evening. Communication was very quick and I love getting updates and photos. He had a great night and slept well when he got home. I will definitely use her again when we are back in the area thank you so much.”
“Tresa is absolutely wonderful! I am so happy to have found her on Rover. She is excellent at communicating, and even works with my very early mornings! My dog clearly loves doggy day care with her and it’s such a relief for when I have to be gone.”
“Matt took such great care of my dog Lillie! He was communicative, was great with introducing her to other dogs slowly, and made sure she felt comfortable. We will definitely book with Matt again in the future!”
About: Besides caring for my own dog for nearly 13 years, including nearly a year of hospice care, I also have experience volunteering at animal sanctuaries and cat-sitting for roommates and neighbors. I consider companion animals to be family members, and the care I provide reflects that belief. I work from home, and my schedule is flexible, so I’m easily able to accommodate anything an animal in my care needs. I can provide multiple walks, feedings, and potty breaks a day, whether at your house or mine. Because I work remotely, I’m able to keep your dog or cat company all day. I have a fenced backyard, though it’s small, and I live near a dog park. I have a small crate and a larger soft-sided kennel that can be used if that’s something that makes your dog feel more comfortable; otherwise, pets are free to roam and are welcomed on furniture. I have steps to help smaller or senior dogs get on the couch, and there’s a dog bed in every room of my house. I only board for one client at a time, so your dog(s) will have my full attention while you're away, and you'll never have to worry about interactions with other pets. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I'm also privately insured as a pet-sitter through PCI, so your pets are well-covered.

It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands during the day.

About: Hi! My name is Faith Tupin and I am a substitute Paraeducator in the Davis school district. I grew up on a ranch with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and sheep. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter off and on for a few years and was in 4-H for many years. I have experience with extremely large dogs to tea cup chihuahuas, three legged dogs, dogs needing end of life care (medication administration, pet inhalers), puppies who haven’t been house trained and even service animals. I was taught how to do CPR on dogs even though i’ve never had to put my skills to use. I am active and I love long walks. I am also very clean and will make sure your house looks great when I leave. I currently am working part time and am also able to make my own schedule. This allows me to be flexible and take on additional responsibilities. I always talk to the owners to ensure that I am following their routine and keeping an eye out for any bad habits the dog may have- chewing on cords, digging by fences. I am aware of what food is toxic to dogs and never leave it out. I avoid other dogs on walks and look out for unknown food on the sidewalks that they may be tempted to eat.
About: I have multiple years experience working in dog boarding facilities, as well as small animal veterinary clinics. I have extensive knowledge of dog behavior and welfare, and am able to confidently care for many different types of personalities. I will start veterinary school in the fall, and plan to fit visits in around my class schedule. I commute from Esparto to Davis/Woodland daily and am easily able to make stops anywhere near this commute. I believe in keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and following given instructions as closely as possible. I operate under the principle that as a sitter, I should do everything (and more) for someone else’s pet that I would expect a sitter to do for my own pets.
About: I’ve taken care of six dogs before coming onto Rover. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, and taking care of dogs of different sizes. I work full-time as a closer at my current job, so I have free-time to be able to take care of animals anytime before 2pm most days. I can do 30 minute visits or longer — whatever you need for your fur baby. I graduated from UC Davis this year, so I’m trying to get hired in the environmental sector to start my career and begin a more typical work schedule. I have an apartment in Woodland where I spend time with my indoor cats. One of my cats is very friendly with people and other cats, but my other cat takes a while to get adjusted to people and other animals, so I only do visits at other people’s places. I treat client’s homes with care, and ensure I do not make any messes or overstep any boundaries.

About: I grew up around animals. I love having pets and have taken care of a lot of them growing up. I have had dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, fishes, chicks and more. I love spending time with all pets! Pet care is something I do everyday. In the mornings, I take my dogs out for a walk and then another walk free I get back from work. I clean out my cat’s litter weekly and clean their food and waters bowls everyday. When it comes to taking care of your pet, I have full availability this summer! I can work mornings, do drop-ins and house sits if needed. I have a large backyard that can be used for playtime and a large crate if needed. I also have different types of toys and treats for both cats and dogs. I have spare leashes if needed, and of course quality time with your fur babies! When walking your pets, I’ll make sure of having everything they need such as their leash, collar, shoes, and a small water bowl for hot days. If they go to the park, I’ll bring their toys and play with them until it’s time to go.
About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. Insects, reptiles, rats, especially cats and dogs. I’ve also volunteered at the ASPCA for a year!

Might as well do what I love and get payed for it. XD I have a calm smaller dog, and a cat who LOVES dogs (she’s strange I know). I live right next to a huge park and walking trail.

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I got my first dog when I was 10 years old. Since then, our family has increased to 2 dogs and 3 cats. I’m currently working part time in Sacramento so I’ll have plenty of room in my schedule to accommodate for your pet care needs! I won’t be able to provide pet care in my current living situation since the apartment I’m in don’t allow pets, but I will gladly look over any pets in the environment most comfortable for you!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I had a chihuahua and boxer. I began walking and sitting dogs fall quarter 2025 and I have experience caring for pets of different sizes and personalities. I also adopted a kitten a year ago and I would love the opportunity to care for them as well. During the summer I am taking courses online that are self paced. This makes my availability to care for your pets very flexible. When it comes to walks in the summer I prefer early mornings to protect their paws. I really do love animals and I would always treat your pet as if it was my own. I always try to keep pets comfortable by sticking to the routine they’re used to and the one that has been communicated to me. To ensure the owners comfort I always send update messages and photos.
About: I have lived with pets all my life and have over 6 years of professional experience in all kinds of animals (including but not limited to) birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have 1 green cheek conure, 1 desert tortoise, 2 cats, and 1 dog myself. I can medicate your animals, but also help with training, exercise, grooming, and other enriching or basic husbandry care. I’ve recently moved to Woodland to help my sister with her kids, which leaves me some time for myself but not enough for a full time job. That’s where pet sitting comes in for me. Animal care is an important thing to me, and I love to know I’m helping your pet live their best life. Most pets will be comfortable in their own home so I can make house trips at least twice a day, perhaps more depending on where you are located respective to me. If you’d like me to take your little one into my own home, we can talk about it and go from there :)
About: I have always had a passion for animals and it seems they’ve always been drawn to me! Growing up my mom owned a small pet sitting business. We took care of dogs, cats, birds, even an entire farm. Over the years of helping my mom and pet sitting on my own, I’ve gained plenty of knowledge and patience for all furry friends! I have my own small business as a licensed esthetician, so whenever I don’t have clients scheduled, I am totally free to play with your pets! I have a 1 bedroom apartment with a small yard that has public access. I live with my 3.5 year old male cat, but he is very tolerant of dogs! Pet friendly space for your furring friends to visit!
About: I have always had a dog or some sort of animal around my home since I was a kid but know how difficult it can be to sometimes balance having adult responsibilities and take care of your pets, so I’m here to offer a way that you can have your life AND know your pet is always loved and cared for even when you’re away. I myself have a dog reactive dog and semi-stranger reactive dog so I am comfortable working with reactive dogs! My cat is now in remission but was diabetic so I am comfortable and knowledgeable in caring for diabetic pets. My history with caring for animals has been taking care of my own through a variety of things, and when staying with friends I have assisted them with their 13+ dogs along with other animals. I have worked in the veterinary field for a year at a large specialty GP/ER clinic so am familiar with health care for pets. I am very attentive to animals and am careful to notice anything out of the ordinary so you know your animal is in safe hands. In addition to my own dog and cat, I've also owned & cared for horses for 10+ years and have 4 snakes as well as arachnids if you find yourself needing care for more unique pets! I am a college student so have a slightly more flexible schedule & just have requirements to be able to care for my own dog, cat and horse but am able to add in your pets comfortably! I understand during drop in visits and walks you want to make sure your pets are getting maximized attention and energy requirements fulfilled and I am hear to do that for you!

I’ve had a dog since I was born and the love of animals has been instilled in me from my family! I have three dogs of my own and I love them more than anything! I am a full time nurse so I do dog walking and check ins on the side. But please don’t let that stop you from sending me a request! If I can make it work I will! Please reach out. Having three dogs of my own helps me to understand how important it is to provide the best care to our pets and to give them all the love and attention possible! I have three fur babies of my own, pet safety is one of the most important things for me. I am always cautious around other animals when out walking. Leash is always on and I would always follow your directions as you know your animals best!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. From cats, to smaller dogs, to large golden doodles, I’ve had the pleasure of watching a variety of animals. I’ve watched animals overnight while administering medicine, so I have experience with both boarding and taking care of the animal’s health. That includes senior animals that need extra love in diapers or extra medicine. I also am pursuing an animals degree, so I understand the basic functions of animals. I work part time 3 days a week, but go home every two hours so I would be able to regularly check on your animal. The rest of my week is free and I would dedicate plenty of time to your pet. I have a fenced backyard with a doggie door that can be opened or closed. This allows animals to either have unlimited access to the outside or controlled access depending on the animal and owner’s preference. I have no resident animals in the house so your pet will receive all my attention! Two other adults in the house to give extra love!
“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.”
“Beyond fantastic! Kasandra kept our cocker while we were away for 2 weeks. Not only was he very well cared for—he was actually better than when we left him! He is way calmer and has better manners than he had at drop off. Kasandra gave me some pointers that will help me a lot with him at home. This gal is a dog whisperer!! I could not be more grateful. Thank you Kasandra!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Kathleen. She has such a genuine passion and love for dogs. My pup took to her right off the bat, I’ve never seen him trot off with a stranger so willingly. She is so knowledgeable and understanding, I felt comfortable leaving him with her through the 4th of July holiday weekend. She managed firework anxiety like a pro. She took amazing care of him and he came home totally happy and tuckered out. I can tell he had a good time. I will definitely be booking again.”
“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!!!!!!!”
“Lupe was amazing with Mia! I was gone for a long holiday trip and haven’t been away from her longer than a week and Lupe immediately welcomed Mia into her home and treated her like one of her own family members. Her home is beautiful and spacious for Mia to play, I got lots of updates and pictures and she made me feel at ease immediately about leaving Mia behind. I can’t thank her and her family enough and I couldn’t think of a better place for Mia to stay while I was away ❤️”
“The best dog sitter around!! While our family was out of town we received pictures, updates and quick responses. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog! We had a unique situation that needed some flexibility and they were willing to work with us. Everything worked out perfectly! We cannot say enough how much our minds were at ease knowing our dog was in good hands.”
“Becky was great! She was happy to work with my unpredictable schedule, and was very nice and friendly! She provided frequent updates and tons of great pictures of my boy. I always knew what he was up to, what activities they'd done, and how happy he was. I'd definitely book with Becky again!”
“Shireen was extremely accommodating and communicative. Responded to my appointment request quickly and timely. Sent pictures and updates over the day and while meeting in person. My dog looked as happy as I left him when picking him up. Highly recommend!!”
“Great Rover experience! The sitter was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout my trip. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved during their stay. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Alexandra is a very caring and excellent addition to our beloved Bellas extended care! She sent us detailed updates and pics of our baby daily. We were incredibly impressed that she was able to successfully groom Bella. Bella has a long history of not being welcomed back for groomers due to her defensive and aggressive nature for many years. Shes informative, patient and responds so well to our babys grooming needs. Alexandra was able to successfully groom her! Shes definitely a grooming gangster! We highly recommend Alexandra as your go to for everything care dog needs. We will continue to use her services in the future!”
“Amazing as always ! Cairo loves her so much & he's so happy while he’s there. I feel super comfortable with him being there because she literally treats him like he’s her own 😊 We will be back again soon !”
“We left our old, spoiled little Sam for a few days and we were very happy! Lots of pictures were sent and great communication! Will definitely do it again. Sam was very comfortable and happy!”
