“Wenchi was very caring and attentive to my cat- sent me lots of pictures everyday so I was never worried about her. Perfect transitions of dropping off and picking her up- my vacation was much more relaxing knowing that my cat was safe and sound. Thank you!! I will definitely be booking again in the future 😸”
“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.”
“A very nice girl who tried her best to nurture and console my not very willing dogs. 😄 she did a great job and sent lots of videos and messages to keep me up to date with how they were doing… they loved her and had fun playing with her two sweet dogs. I definitely recommend her!”
“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!!!!!!!”
“Thank you so much to Ann for her great care of our 10 year old pup Rocky! Ann was quick to respond and provided updates each day my wife and I were away from our dog. It is always difficult when we drop Rocky right before a trip and so we were extra grateful that he was in her care! The photos we received during his stay were so cute and we were impressed he was getting along with the other dogs during his stay with Ann! When we picked him Ann even gave us a photo colleague of Rocky during his start with her which was so adorable. Lastly, My wife and I were very impressed she was able to be creative when it came to ensuring our dog drank plenty of water; he sometimes does not drink enough water and her caring nature made sure he remained hydrated especially in the hot Davis summer days. Would recommend to other Rover users to book with Ann- you will not be disappointed 07182021.”
“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.”
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.
About: Hi, I'm Gina, and I'd love to help you care for your animals. I've worked with animals all my life and find myself always ready to help owners care for their furry friends. I am trustworthy and reliable and genuinely interested in the care of animals. I have passionately worked with animals my entire life and will show your animals the love and care they need for when their loving owner is away. I can't wait to help you and look forward to hearing from you! Giving your pet the VIP treatment, I am home full time ! Our pet boarding and daycare is all about lots of love and attention, no kennel jail time here! my apartment is super pet friendly! Your fur babies will have tons of space to chill and get some exercise. I'll take them on walks and make sure they get plenty of playtime.
“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!”
“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.”
“A bit hard to review as there wasn’t much overlapping time to be with Memha. Her home is quite rural and surrounded by orchards with a large fenced yard so visually very appealing Memha and her husband were very sweet and volunteered to come into town to both pick up and return our dog back to us; very thoughtful! Our dog came home tired which we loved!”
“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”
“Nayzeth took amazing care of my dog Elvis! She texted me pictures and updates every day! I could tell that she. really cared about my dog and wanted to do anything she could to make sure that he was happy while he was with them. I highly recommend Nayzeth when considering a sitter for your pets!!”
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.
“Marya had our two young Frenchies overnight for their first time away from home. She sent us pictures and a video of them settling in and getting acquainted with her larger dog. She was very thoughtful in handling our little ones and communicated really well with us. We are planning to use her for a longer trip in just a few weeks.”

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!
“Emily was very communicative and made sure to always share photos of our fur babies so that we could see they were doing great without us there. She always made sure to check off every need and went beyond our expectations in taking care of our cats. I would definitely recommend!”
“Audrey went above and beyond! I felt really great with my cats in her care. She made sure each cat was taken care of, had their medication….and I even got some sweet photos! I rebooked Audrey immediately for my next vacation. Thank you!”
About: I have two cats of my own and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pet while you're away. I'll make sure your cat receives plenty of attention, affection, and care, and I'll always follow your instructions to help keep them happy and comfortable.
“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!”
“Jessica did a great job taking care of our two cats. She had clear communication and sent lots of lovey pictures of our fur babies. We appreciated that she helped out with our garden too!”
“Juliana was wonderful with her once/day visits over as one week period with my very sensitive indoor cat 🐈. I appreciated very much her initiating an initial meet&greet, but mostly her reliability and sweet, calm manner, which was perfect for my cat. Will definitely call on her for cat attention again. Many thanks, Juliana!”
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.
“Aaron is awesome. It’s clear from the photos and our interview with our cat post visit that he likes Aaron, they get along nicely and he is well cared for. Arriving back home everything is ship shape. Six stars.”
About: Hi! I'm Tristan, a college student and lifelong animal lover who understands that every cat has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is playful and outgoing or shy and independent, I'll make sure they receive the patience, care, and attention they need while you're away. I know how important it is to keep cats comfortable in their own environment, so I'll stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection on their terms. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in loving and dependable hands.
About: Hello, I'm Valerie! I am a devoted pet enthusiast with 7 years of hands-on experience at home and local pet rescues. During my time there, I took on a variety of responsibilities including feeding, walking, bating, playing, and even training pets occasionally. Whether it's ensuring their daily needs are met or handling more specialized care, I've got it covered. With a background of vet intern, I am also comfortable with administering medications. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of creating a safe and loving environment. I am thrilled and look forward to brining my skills to your pets! I am currently working a part-time job, which gives me great flexibility to care for your pets! I usually only work a couple hours in the afternoon, so I have time in the morning, early afternoon, and night! I want to ensure that you, your pet, and I are a perfect match. My approach begins with a sit-down session to understand your pet's routine, preferences, and your expectations. I believe open communication is key, so if any questions or concerns arise, I'll reach out immediately. I understand that entrusting someone with you beloved pet can be anxiety-inducing, and I'm here to alleviate that stress. I'll keep you connected through regular updates, whether that's sending pictures of your furry friend or providing text updates. Rest assured, I'm dedicated to creating a comfortable and happy experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind.
“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!”
“Elizabeth was great for drop-in visits with my cat, Kaylee. She was communicative about how my cat was doing and did her best to make sure she was comfortable (she's skittish around strangers). Will definitely work with her again!”
“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.”
About: I've cat sitted for cats with special needs, diets, and medications before. I've had veterinary experience with cats and can meet them where they're are. I've cat-sat for both kittens and elderly cats

“We were looking last minute for a dog sitter and Ann responded right away with availability for the next day! She was extremely accommodating with our schedule and very good to Archie. She sent us photos and made sure he was comfortable around the other dogs she was watching. I am really glad we got connected with Ann and am looking forward to having Archie visit her more in the future!”
“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: 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.
About: hi! I am a recent uc davis graduate. I have had dogs all of my life and have fostered three cats in the past couple years. I have some extra time on my hands to meet your needs and have a flexible schedule. I love being active, meeting new pets, and getting to know each one’s unique personality.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 15—feeding, walking, giving meds, and more. I’m attentive, reliable, and experienced with both puppies and senior dogs, always tailoring care to their needs. I recently graduated UC Davis in June (2026). This summer, I'm job hunting and in the process of moving, but have no solid schedule. Dogs are never alone for more than 6 hours at a time. My mornings and evenings are dedicated to pet care, and I plan my day around their needs. My schedule is consistent week to week. Evenings and weekends allow for extra attention, playtime, and longer walks. I prioritize maintaining each pet's routine, whether that includes sleeping in my room or following specific feeding times, to help them feel comfortable during their stay. I live with two roommates who love animals but will not be assisting with care. We don’t have any pets of our own. Our apartment is carpeted and has stairs, which might be difficult for puppies or dogs with mobility issues. I live right next to the greenbelt with a small grassy patio in our front yard. Growing up, my dogs were crate trained, so I’m familiar with using crates safely and positively. I’ve cleaned up plenty of messes, both inside and out, and I’m always mindful about keeping food and anything tempting out of reach.
“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!”

Our cats are very demanding on their feeding schedule, so I make sure I am on top of that.

She’s great at communication and is really flexible about what time she comes over. I highly recommend her!!”
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.
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’ve owned dogs for my entire life and have also taken care of other peoples dogs. This experience has taught me how to properly take care of your pets. I work a part time job and have a very flexible schedule so I can care for your pets throughout the week and on most weekends. I’ve had dogs for my entire life so I’m very comfortable with dogs. I can also take your dogs for walks for as long and often as they may need.
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.
About: What really sets me apart is how much I truly care. I have two dogs of my own, a Pitbull/Great Dane mix and a German Shorthaired Pointer, so I know how much love, patience, and energy pets need. I also help care for my grandma, who has dementia, which has taught me to be extra gentle, attentive, and understanding. I bring that same kind of warmth and care to every pet I meet, treating them like family from the start. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for in my daily routine. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I love staying active, so getting outside for walks is something I look forward to, and I also enjoy spending quiet time with pets who simply want company. I make it a priority to be dependable, follow each pet's routine closely, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I do not offer care for pets inside of my home. It does not work with the apartment that I currently live in. Thank you for your understanding.
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.
About: Nothing makes me happier than meeting new dogs and cats! I always feel strong bonds towards new animals and I think I understand and respect animals boundaries well. I’ve taken care of many neighbors and friends animals and I always love doing it! I just moved home after completing my MSc in the UK! I would love to fill my schedule more by meeting and taking care of new dogs and cats! I am very patient with animals and I am easily flexible with needs of different breeds of either cats or dogs! I’m easy to contact and whatever is needed, I will accommodate to!
“Carmen has been a terrific dog walker for our two hounds. They were practically smiling in the photos she’d send us each day. 5 stars and would definitely recommend to anyone in the Davis area looking for assistance with their pets.”
“Esmerilda is an absolutely fantastic person and cares immensely for our dog. She has been our weekly dog walker for a little over 6 months--Our dog is a rescue and was quite difficult in the beginning, but Esmerilda has done a lot to help train and rehabilitate her. She also has done house sitting for us. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with their dogs.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs at all stages of their lives! From birth to old age, I have bottle-fed and waned puppies, kitten sat, as well as administered insulin shots and oral medications to older cats and dogs. One of my kitties now also takes an oral pill twice daily, so I also have some experience giving cats pills :). I am a full-time student who just moved to Davis! I have a flexible schedule, meaning maintaining strict feeding or medication times should be no problem! I make sure all water sources are clean and replaced regularly, food bowls and cans are rinsed/washed immediately to avoid lingering smells, and do a quick walk-through of the pets' spaces to make sure your fur baby(s) didn't get into things they weren't supposed to. I also love plants, so in my own home, i keep them watered and check regularly for if there are new chomps in them and would be very happy to do the same for you if that is at all a concern :). And, of course, I offer plenty of play time with the kitties!

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.
“Marya had our two young Frenchies overnight for their first time away from home. She sent us pictures and a video of them settling in and getting acquainted with her larger dog. She was very thoughtful in handling our little ones and communicated really well with us. We are planning to use her for a longer trip in just a few weeks.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Anna was completely accommodating to my doggo during her stay at Anna's clean house. Anna provided regular updates during the boarding process, and made sure my dog was healthy, happy, and surrounded by other friendly dogs. Thank you again!”
“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.”
“I was very nervous to leave my two very high energy rescues with anyone overnight for the first time. April answered all my questions upfront and I felt comfortable booking boarding with her. I was not disappointed. I truly believe she loves dogs, knows a lot about them and cared for them as well as can be expected outside of your own home. She was good about responding to my questions quickly and sent me several pictures daily. I will definitely book with April again if I can.”
