“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Cindy was very wonderful and did a great job taking care of my dog, Finley while I was gone for a couple days. She sent me frequent updates and pictures which was really nice and relieving for me. I would definitely have her watch Finley again in the future!”
“Our pack was in great hands with Roy. Two of our three dogs are seniors and he did an excellent job of meeting their needs. We received updates and pictures frequently while we were on our trip, which we loved. They had plenty of exercise and attention. We definitely came home to happy dogs. Roy is the BEST pet sitter!! His communication, attention to detail and professionalism alleviated any concerns we had about leaving our dogs while were away.”
“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.”
“Ann is always wonderful with our dog- paying attention to her anxiety and energy needs. She sends us lovely photos and updates throughout the stat as well. Our pup comes home happy and she's always excited to visit Ann again. I highly recommend Ann's pet sitting.”
“Greta was so happy to see Achara when we dropped her off! Achara was very responsive and sent regular photos and updates. She was also very accommodating when our flight got delayed.”

“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.”
“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!”
“We have used Marya a few time for daycare. This is the first time we've had to leave town for a few days and Mochi has ever done boarding. He came home happy and healthy as usual.”
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.
“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”
“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”
“Jennifer was awesome as always! I trust my pet baby with her. This is his 3rd visit with her. This was his second overnight stay, this stay was for two days. My boy is blind, takes insulin shots twice a day, a very old senior. I always worry about him when I’m away, but with Jennifer I can relax and enjoy my vacation. Thank you Jennifer. 🥰”

“Megan was fantastic with my cat Norman. Norman is a diabetic cat who can be aggressive with strangers when they try to give insulin, so it's often tough to find sitters who can manage him. I was so happy with how patient and compassionate Megan was with him. She was extremely reliable and a great communicator, and was able to make sure he got his insulin on time everyday. I would really highly recommend Megan, you can definitely trust her to take great care of your pet!”
“Ally was so great taking care of our senior cat. He needs medication and some extra care so having Ally give him the right attention was important to us. Ally gave us detailed updates and pictures throughout our vacation which helps us know our cat is well taken care of. Highly recommend Ally for any pet care.”
“Dear Kelly, Thank you for going out of your way to provide the best possible care for our cats, particularly my Siamak. You have left your mark on all of our hearts and we will always support you. I am grateful to have met you.”
“Jessie is wonderful to have as our pet sitter! She communicates well and was so great with Oslo. She is totally trustworthy and we will definitely be calling upon her again!”
About: We are excellent dog, cat, bird, poultry, reptile, and fish caretakers as we have raised most of these, and a few years ago, we had a thriving Rover business taking care of folks' animal babies. We can take care of medications if your pet needs: We have administered medicine to most of the animals on our list, including oral medication for a rooster and injections for a snake. We have had some experience in training our current dog as a service animal. While we have not had the chance to care for farm animals on our own, we love them and have had experience being around them (horses, sheep, goats, cows, pigs, alpaca). Animals, plants, gardens, farms, and home-care are all in our wheelhouse and are the foundations to our lives. If you are looking to have your fur baby stay with us, we have a large home with a fenced backyard. Our German Shepherd loves to play with other dogs, and we take him and our guests to local dog parks or fenced fields to play ball and or frisbee. We take care of our guests exactly how we want our pup to be taken care of! I work part time remotely and part time I will need to be in the field. What that means is a lot of the time, I will be in the home, hanging with your furry, feathered, or scaly baby, working on my laptop. During the times I need to work outside of the home, my 19 year old daughter (who has been doing Rover with me since she was 11) will give the best care in my place. I have a thriving Airbnb business in my home for over a decade, so I have a ton of experience and mindset on home-care: I treat other folks' pets and homes as well as I treat my own. I make it point to keep my clients connected via photos and updates. If I am providing boarding in my home, our 4 year old German Shepherd will love to play with your pup. If I am providing sitting in your home, then my pup will stay home unless requested for a playmate in your home.
“Audrey did an awesome job watching my cats, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. My cats loved Audrey back, as evidenced by pics of them crawling all over Audrey, lol! The litter box was clean, and they were fed and happy when I got home too, just like I was hoping. Audrey was kind and pleasant to be in contact with.”
“She was so attentive, kind, and helpful! She checked in many times and provided great photos and updates. My cat really liked her and felt comfortable with her! She did a great job not only caring for my cat but also going above and beyond doing tasks I didn’t ask her to do like cleaning my apartment, which was so thoughtful! She even gave her a little present at the end :) Would definitely recommend!”
“Tate was an exceptional petsitter going above and beyond to help us out. We forgot our tickets to a show at home and she was able to help us out by taking pictures of them. She also sent us lots of pictures of our cats while we were away. We came back and I could tell the cats had been taken care of very well. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have experience caring for cats and currently own TWO cats of my own. My second child is just a little over a month old maybe. I am comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and following specific care instructions. I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine, and I strive to provide patient, attentive care to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I also provide photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.
“Cindy took wonderful care of Norman! She was very conscientious with his care, communicated well, and sent great pictures. Norman has a difficult temperament sometimes, but Cindy made him comfortable in her home and was able to reliably give him his medication. I would definitely trust her with your pets!”
About: I’ve taken care of dog for with more than 5 years. I personally have two dogs in the house which are 10 lbs and 30 lbs, both are low to medium energy. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered senior dogs before for a rescue. For safety reasons, all the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. Walks twice a day, no dog park trips unless owner requests for safety precautions. No human aggression is allowed, any growling/nipping/snapping for no reasons is not acceptable. If your dog is being too stressed among other dogs, I have separate room to place him/her, and he/she will get quality along time with human every day. Pictures and videos will be send out about 5-10 times/day. I’m a recent graduate at UC Davis, and currently WFH all day. I will walk dogs twice a day and give them bathroom break at least 4-5 times every day. I have a fenced yard in the house. All the dogs will be separated when I’m not at home for safety purposes. Anyone being too stressed will have a separate room for resting.
“Juliana was very attentive and respectful not only to my pet, but to me and the directions given. I not only would recommend Juliana to others in need of a pet sitter, but I would gladly book her again.”
“Lucy is kind, trustworthy, and very competent. She has sat for my cat twice now, and I know she treats my pet well because my cat is always friendly to her when she comes to return my key. I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“Anne took great care of our energetic dog for the evening! The dog had a blast and the process was convenient and smooth. She is observative and very accommodating to each dog's needs.”
“Alayna agreed to watch my pooch last minute while I attended a conference. She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Henry had a fantastic time and was exhausted when I got him back, which was perfect for the ride home. I will definitely reach out again if I’m in Davis and need pet care!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I grew up in a household that always had multiple pets (fish, dogs, hamsters) and have since expanded my love for animals by dog sitting and cat sitting for friends and family in the neighborhood. I am offering dog walking, sitting and other pet care services for whatever furry friend you need! I’m excited to get started with Rover and build community connections in Davis! I am currently a UC Davis student looking for a part-time way to make extra money and spend more time outside and with animals! I love going on long walks and hanging out at the dog park, or just entertaining your pet at home. I live in an apartment with an unfenced yard. When I dog sit for friends, I make sure to give regular potty breaks every couple of hours and maintain an environment that is safe and comforting for your pet.

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.
About: During my 18 years of living, I have grown up with many different animals in the house and around mean I really do enjoy the company of our furry friends. My schedule is going to be very open, especially for the fall semester. I will be having a lot of availability for our furry friends. Remembering that every pet is unique, so adapting your care approach to meet their individual needs is essential make sure to maintain open communication with your clients to address any concerns and ensure the best care for their beloved companions.
About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Raised on a farm and on a pre-vet track from a young age, I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds—from house pets to livestock to wildlife. Starting at 14, I volunteered in local vet clinics and wildlife rehab centers, gaining hands-on experience with everything from cats and dogs to peacocks, horses, goats, snakes, fish, birds, and cattle. At UC Davis, I deepened my care skills while working at the world-renowned Vet Hospital, tending to cats and dogs during the swing shift. I also worked with campus goats, pigs, sheep, fish, cattle, and horses—and even fostered cats for the hospital. Now in my 30s, I’m an education professional and dedicated pet mom to both cats and dogs. I continue to care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets with the same compassion, attention, and responsibility that’s guided me my whole life. I’m certified in Cat & Dog CPR & First Aid, and Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/AED/First Aid, and have emergency care experience with animals large and small. I’m calm under pressure, reliable, and always communicate clearly—your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm currently taking a break from teaching, and being a full-time stay-at-home mama to my 2.5 year old daughter. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member. Please note that at this time, we are seeking families whose pets are comfortable around toddlers and children. I have a fully fenced yard, and a park just around the corner from my house for those whose furry friends enjoy a stretch, walk, or playtime! I am comfortable using a crate, and we have plenty of floor room in the house (carpet and laminate) for them to lay down if they're not crate trained. We do not allow dogs on the furniture. Cats are allowed to wander the house. We are more than happy to put up child gates to keep your furry family member in certain areas of the house if they're prone to getting into things (such as stuffed animals for the kiddos... I mean really, a lot of doggie toys these days look so similar! I'd understand the misconception. lol) We're not afraid to be firm but kind if your family member needs set boundaries.
“Marya has been taking good care of Finley weekly since he was just a puppy. She is very patient with my high energy dog and he gets extremely excited every time we pull into her driveway area :)”
About: I am a passionate animal lover and obsessed with dogs (and cats)! From pets to dirty work, anything your fur baby needs I'm on it. Of course I'll play with and love on them when you're not around, but I am also happy to do some cleaning to make sure they're safe and sound when you get back home. I can take dogs on long walks, play fetch in the dog park, or give them baths. Litter boxes are no problem, whatever your baby needs! ¡Yo hablo español! I have a lot of schedule flexibility to take care of animals. I have plenty of time throughout the week, and am wide open on weekends and holidays. Feel free to take your trip, work late, or whatever takes you away from home because I got your back. I have a fenced yard at my house and one small dog who plays well with others. I also live close to a park and walk dogs there often. At your house- you set the rules! Wherever you live, I am happy to take your dogs on walks or play fetch with them in your back yard. I can scoop poop, refresh the waters, brush out the undercoat, and vacuum the fur.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and worked with animals extensively when working on several different farms as well and woofing! I have cared for dogs cats and farm animals. I volunteered on a goat farm in Oregon where I cared for dogs, cats, chickens, alpacas, bunnies, and many other animals. I volunteered at 2 different turtle conservation organizations in Tulum and Mahahual, Mexico. I also worked at the University of California, Davis Veterinary School of Medicine labs where I studied horse reproduction and got to be around horses. I love being around animals so would love to help out if I can!! I am usually available mornings and evenings during the week! My job is flexible as I am a tennis coach. Weekends are about the same! I don’t have a space in my home but can follow instructions for caring for pets in your home or taking them on walks. Just let me know any special instructions!
“Roy was an excellent fit for Whiskey he had plenty of time room and energy for our little doofus to play A+ communication and the regular updates and photos were a wonderful way to add peace of mind my wife and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough”

“Nora was really kind and found some time for a last minute request from me. She’s been extremely responsive and responsible. Anika loves her! Will definitely keep her on my go-to list for the futyre”
About: I've had multiple dogs all my life (all shelter rescues of all sizes and temperaments) and cared for them up into their senior years. From unique feeding routines to walks/runs in the early morning, to fetch, tug-of-war, midday potty breaks, and cuddles, I've done it all! I've also raised and fostered several litters of rescue kittens to be adopted, from bottlefeeding to litterbox training and handling practice. I am well learned in cleaning litterboxes, prepping midday snacks, and providing love and attention for kitties of all ages. I provide runs and walks for various dogs several days a week and house-sit on occasion during the summer. I also drop in to play with, feed, or entertain dogs whose families are away for long periods of time during the day. Because each pet is unique, I ensure clear communication of expectations from the pet's family prior to any walking or sitting. I always carefully monitor pets for signs of stress, discomfort, or injury and am prepared to take action in the event of emergencies. I maintain regular communication with pet families when they're out of town (send pictures and updates of their pets) and organize my weekly walking schedule frequently to ensure convenience for both me and the client. As someone with pets and a love for animals, I hold myself to a high standard to make sure every animal is comfortable and thriving with any walk, run, or visit.
“This girl came through big time!! Was available at short notice, was willing to work with my spazy dog and was so nice, sweet and very easy to communicate with. My dog got everything he needed bc of her while I was on an important trip to see family.I’m very grateful!! 💛”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s Golden Retriever, which gave me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and providing daily care. I currently own a cat of my own, so I am very familiar with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved. I am comfortable with all aspects of pet care, including feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, giving updates to owners, and following specific care instructions. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I always strive to provide a safe, reliable, and caring experience. I currently work part-time at an ice cream shop, but I have flexible availability throughout the week. I am generally more available during the daytime on weekdays and can provide drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends. I always communicate my availability in advance and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, ensuring your pet receives reliable and attentive care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special care needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention and playtime. I treat every home with respect and provide photo and message updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet.
About: I have experience with pet sitting other animals including chickens, hamsters, and am a quick and adaptive learner!! Enjoyer of the outdoors and being out in the community. I work part time often early in the mornings and have a lot of time the rest of the day. My schedule does change from week to week but clear communication will always be maintained. I am extremely respectful of others’ homes and belongings. Depending on the service I will always confirm and set clear boundaries for both myself and the client.
“Emme was wonderful! Our heeler can be temperamental sometimes, but Emme came over a few days before and met her, and Piper loved her! She sent pictures and was very communicative! We will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I have three cats and one dog of my own! I’m used to all and any antics they can get up to. I’ve got a crazy routine for my pets, so no requests are too much for me :) Typically I am free in the morning or afternoon most days. My weekends are usually free with a usual trip to the Saturday farmers market when it happens. I regularly take care of my cats which includes feeding them, cleaning their litter boxes, cleaning their areas, brushing them, and generally heeding their every need. I like to make enrichment toys using cardboard boxes/paper towel tubes or by teaching them tricks like spin and high five! When taking dogs out, I try to make sure to wipe their paws down with a wet paper towel prior to entering the house, especially after going in more muddy areas. I like going at the dogs pace on walks whether that be sniffing around a bunch or taking a jog around the neighborhood until they get tired! I used to have a cat that required medication, so I’m familiar with giving pills and liquid meds to cats.
“Jessica was great with our large dog who is a strong puller. She handled her well and gave great updates to put our minds at ease while we were away on a trip. She also adapted to some last minute scheduling shifts we had to make. We will definitely use Jessica again and would recommend her to our friends.”

About: Hello, I have always been an animal lover since visiting my Grandma's farm as a kid. My first job for that I held for 4 years in High School was at a Vet hospital, where I fed, cleaned, walked, cared for and groomed the boarding dogs and cats. As an adult, I have loved animal watching/walking for friends and family. As a volunteer, I fed and cleaned the farm animals at a non-profit ranch for autistic children. I work full time in the medical field and enjoy being active so I am excited to get outside for walks and visit your pets on my days off. I am no able to own pets where I live, so I would love to be able to care for yours. Thank You, Megan I am available multiple days a week to walk and drop-in care for pets. My work schedule changes each week but I am able to scheduled services a week in advance. I would care for a pet at a client's home. I do not have a yard but would be happy to travel to the pet's home to socialize and make sure that they are feeling safe and comfortable.
“Caroline was amazing!! Right on time, super friendly and easy to communicate with.. I could tell Luca loved her right from the start and he was super tired when he got home which is great for me because I’m currently injured! I would highly recommend Caroline!”
“I contacted Matthew to do a couple of walks for my dog. From the start he was very attentive and polite. He took the time to meet and greet us and create a bond with Jackie (our dog). We had a great experience and highly recommend Matthew to other pet parents.”
“It is so heartening to know that the pups were getting some quality time out of the house while we’re away. Thanks Carmen for your professionalism, it is plain the dogs enjoyed the company! Paul”
“Kate is great! Flexible with schedules. She’s one of a kind where you can rely on taking care of your fur baby. She’s like a second mom to our picky lab. He’s always excited to walking with her. It matters a lot when you feel the trust and confidence that your fur baby is in good hands.”

“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.”
“Cindy was very wonderful and did a great job taking care of my dog, Finley while I was gone for a couple days. She sent me frequent updates and pictures which was really nice and relieving for me. I would definitely have her watch Finley again in the future!”
“Our pack was in great hands with Roy. Two of our three dogs are seniors and he did an excellent job of meeting their needs. We received updates and pictures frequently while we were on our trip, which we loved. They had plenty of exercise and attention. We definitely came home to happy dogs. Roy is the BEST pet sitter!! His communication, attention to detail and professionalism alleviated any concerns we had about leaving our dogs while were away.”
“Greta was so happy to see Achara when we dropped her off! Achara was very responsive and sent regular photos and updates. She was also very accommodating when our flight got delayed.”

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.
“I can’t say enough great things about April. She was incredibly communicative about who would be in and out of the house while my dogs were staying with her, which gave me such peace of mind. Throughout the booking, she sent regular updates with pictures so I knew exactly how my dogs were doing. What really impressed me was how friendly she and her family were, and I was thrilled that there were kids around because my dogs absolutely love children. I could tell my dogs had an amazing time playing and sunbathing in her backyard all weekend long. I would definitely book her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”
“Our sweet Sally loved her time with Kathleen! Kathleen was communicative and sent pictures of a very happy Sally! We have already booked Kathleen for an upcoming family wedding we're traveling to. We're confident it will be fun for Sally to visit Kathleen again!”
“Sade was very sweet and patient. We really appreciate being able to go out of town and not worry about Nella being uncomfortable. I would definitely recommend her.”
