“Zac was awesome! I like that he took a personal interest in Spot's well being during his stay at Zac's home.....I highly recommend Zac for any Rover.com customer!!”
“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”
“Jessie was wonderful to work with! She happily met Maisey and me for a meet and greet before I booked. She took care of my shy, scared rescue puppy for the first time she had been away from me. Jessie rose to the challenges my girl presented. She sent photo updates and responded to my nervous dog mom messages. I absolutely trust Jessie and it gave me comfort to know Maisey was with her and well taken care of while I was far away!”
“My pup had a great time at this doggie resort- the large backyard, shade and Zuko made it a wonderful place for my nervous girl. Seeing how Marilee interacted with Monina gave me the peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. Will definitely rebook whenever I need to travel.”
“I just can’t say enough nice things about Jared and Andy. They take such wonderful care of our little pup and are great about sending daily pictures of what they’ve been up to. I feel lucky we found them!!!”
“As a first time pet owner, sending Dubu to a boarding service was very nervous at best. My wife found Miya based on others recommendations and they are absolutely correct. From the initial meeting to introduce herself to Dubu and me to series of communications to prepare me for dropping Dubu off at her place made it easy and set up an expectation of what to expect. I could feel that Miya was very dedicated to the wellbeing of the dogs in her care. Taking Dubu out to walk 4 times in an one day stay just because Dubu wouldn’t go potty shows this. In addition to this, I’ve learned quite a bit more of what is like to raise a puppy from her experience. Experience was so great, I’ve booked next service with Miya already!”
“Diyanna was such an amazing caregiver for my dog while we were away. She sent pics and took great care of Jax and I felt that she welcomed him into her home. I will definitely be back to use her on our next vacation.”
“Initially I felt bad dropping my dog off, he was super nervous when I left but Achara helped him get settled in and kept me updated on how he was adjusting. She provided regular pictures so I could see him enjoying his time with new puppy friends and enjoying laying in the yard in the sun! I’m grateful for the compassionate care and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!”
“Wonderful care for our dog, we are so grateful. Wenchi’s communication from first contact through the pick up was excellent, fast, and helpful. We got lots of updates, including pictures and videos. Thank you for taking such good care of Pete.”
“Reginay was amazing in taking care of my 2 year old energetic dog Canelo. He immediately felt comfortable with her and in her home. She sent pictures regularly that reassured me that he was well taken care of and happy. I’ll definitely be booking Reginay going forward. Canelo loves her!”
“Martha and her family are just the best!! I felt super comfortable and at ease leaving Roxy with them. Roxy enjoyed her time with them and became friends with pup. I will definitely be booking them for any future bookings”
“Randi was awesome! She sent me daily updates and the pups came home happy and healthy! We normally board at a kennel, and one of our dogs barks herself hoarse- I was happy to find that our female was much more comfortable in Randi’s home! We will be using her again!”
“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!”
“Juneau had a blast with Lety and Mason. I appreciated the frequent photos and videos updating me on all of Juneau’s adventures throughout the weekend. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Juneau again!”
“Mackenzie watched our Dog Cookie for us while we went on a family trip out of town. Mackenzie was kind enough to send pictures of cookie relaxing and having a good time at her house. Cookie was very happy and had a great time with Mackenzie, we will definitely be reaching out to her whenever we have another family trip. Definitely recommend! 5/5 stars!”
“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.”

“Lucy was fantastic! I higly recommend her for drop in visits. We have two very reclusive cats who hide from strangers. Lucy successively gave insulin shots twice a day dealing with our angry, unhappy Lily. She worked out a routine that reduced stress on Lily. She also did awesome taking care of our 6 geckos while we were gone.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Dina did a fantastic job taking care of our cat. She was very responsive and a great communicator. We felt confident our cat was in good hands and reassured by the detailed notes/photos provided.”
“Kelly was very patient with our sassy cat and gave great detailed reports of her visits to our home. We were nervous to try Rover because our cat doesn't do well with strangers, but we were lucky that Kelly was experienced with cattitude. Will definitely book her again!”
“Rebooked Haley to check on our cats everyday while we were on vacation. I'm so glad I did because she always does a great job! The rover cards are detailed and included great pics. One of my cats is a little shy and she said she was able to pet her which is amazing to hear! I will definitely rebook her in the future.”
“Juliana made house visits with my cat 2 times a day for four days. Juliana followed all my instructions, provided detailed reports, and shared photos from each visit. I knew my cat was in good hands. I would definitely hire Juliana again.”
“Aaron has taken excellent care of my cat. In addition to the basics, he has given my cat his medication plus lots of play time. His informative and thorough reports have been much appreciated. He really understands cats. I won't hesitate to use his services again.”
“Natalie was so great with my cat, Sabrina! She’s super communicative and sends lots of pics when I’m missing my peanut. Will definitely book again, thank you so so much!”
“Chelsea was great! From the moment I requested her services to come and feed our cat Charlie, she responded right away. She came to our house to meet Charlie and immediately I knew she would be perfect. While we were gone for 2 days she sent pictures of Charlie playing with her and he looked happy. I definitely recommend Chelsea and will use her again.”
“Victoria did an amazing job. She went above and beyond for our kitties and it was such a relief to know that they were being taken care of by such a loving person. I recommend Victoria without hesitation a and plan on working with her again!”
“Jenna was a life saver for a last-minute trip I needed to take. She’s clearly a cat person, and mine were very comfortable with her. She communicated very well and felt confident leaving my cats alone for a few days. Definitely recommend!”
“Jazmine was wonderful with my cat Nemo! I received several photo updates and videos during my booking and never had to worry that he was well taken care of and getting plenty of attention. She communicated well and came prepared to our meet and greet with questions about my/my cat’s preferences so she could best take care of him. Thank you Jazmine!”

“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!”
“She was very patient and flexible with my ever changing plans due to weather and my commitments to be at a friend’s bday. I was not able to drop my dog off , but she was more willing to take my smaller dog in and cage him in a quiet room so he would feel safe. She also agreed to take him out for a walk. Due to the weather the same day we confirmed, but on the way cancelled and paid for the day care as this is her livelihood. We could have asked to cancel, but that is not what good pet parents do. They make sure people like Mrs. Achara are taken care of as well. I will use her in the future when we are in West Sacramento. Our dog is almost 15 and she was committed to taking care of him in the way we felt was best for him.”
“Marya is incredible!! I got tons of pictures, she was communicative, warm, and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my most prized possession with her. I’ll absolutely be booking again!”
“Julie was amazing. My puppy had so much fun and such a good time. We will definitely be back here! I felt safe leaving him here and was sent a picture of him during his stay which was the best to receive!”
“Minhhan was the best Rover person I could have asked for with my Frenchie! She is so responsible, diligent and loving with my pup! I will definitely use her again and again whenever I need her support for my pup!”
“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!”
“Ingrid watched our sweet Ruby last minute so my husband and I can spend the day together. Ruby returned home so happy and bummed to say bye to her new friends. We hope she’ll watch Ruby again.”
“We needed a dog sitter for just a few hours and used Matt. He was great and his wife. They took care of Ranger at their home. Great communication and flexibility. Highly recommend.”
“Today was Olive’s first day at doggie daycare & she came home the happiest doggo ever! Briana was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day updating me on how she was doing! I am thrilled to have someone who loves on her as we would! We will be using her for extended stays and our pup can’t wait!!”
“Highly recommend Reginay! Was a short notice ask for care and she made it happen! She was superb with communication and I felt like Jax and June would be safe and cool in the summer heat:) will definitely be suggest her to friends and reach out when we are in the area:)”
“Another fun day with Giezell! She and her family are the best! My dog loves going to her house for day care - and I know he is happy and safe while I am at work. Gryffin and I both highly recommend Giezell!!”
“My dog Leo seemed very happy when I picked him up. Aida was reassuring and helpful for a convenient delivery and pick up. We left him for the day while attending a Davis graduation from out of town.”
“Justin was fantastic with my dog, Schnitzel, during his 6.5 hour daycare. Justin provided a homey and playful environment, followed his feeding/med schedules, took him outside for potty breaks and communicated a progress report. Check marks to every expectation.”

“Siiri was so great with our dog! She was patient and encouraging, and somehow handled all his idiosyncrasies with grace. She was also easy to communicate and schedule with. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Faith Tupin and I am a substitute Paraeducator in the Davis school district, babysitter and grad school student. 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.
“Zoe does a great job walking Beth. Beth is a very high energy Blue Heeler that is Deaf. Zoe is responsive to my requests with the areas that Beth needs to work on to help her navigate without the ability to hear.”
“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”
“It was a last minute trip and Matt was there for me, responding to my inquiry within minutes. Matt took care of Kye and made sure he was hydrated and his paws were safe in Sacramento’s heat.”
“Zihui helped me so much as I'm recovering from a broken ankle and leg and needed someone to walk my high energy German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois puppy while my husband was out of town. She came and was great with him immediately and walked him for an hour every day for the entire week so that I could focus on work. She told me how each walk went and just very kind and pleasant. I definitely recommend Zihui, thank you!”
“Ally is awesome. She goes above and beyond to help us with our senior dog, staying late and adjusting to our dog’s needs. She’s kind, diligent, responsive, and easy to work with. 5+ stars!”
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! I have experience with almost all animals, and I’d love to help take care of yours! I take care of two pets of my own, but currently don’t have a stable job. My days are open! 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.
“XingYuan (Cindy) was amazing! She was very spontaneous, responsive, highly communicative, respectful, friendly, accommodating, informative, and above all, wonderful with our two pups. We will happily use her services again and would highly recommend her!”
“I usually walk my Dalmatian every day but I got an injury and cannot do it for several weeks. So Emme-Kate has taken over until I get better! She is 100% reliable and prompt and gets a very brisk walk in for my dog every day. Thank you Emme-Kate!”
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.
“I had a great experience with Jackson walking my dog, Maggy. He was reliable, communicative, and sensitive to her needs—especially as a senior dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands during the day. I look forward to booking him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
“Juliana was great! She was highly accommodating and responsive. Will definitely be booking again for dog sitting needs because I really trust that my dog will be in good hands.”
“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 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!
“Marina is incredibly responsive and provided wonderful care for my old dog. I can tell my dog likes her visits and walks. Marina is attentive, asks questions, and overall very caring. Highly recommend Marina!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have never known a home without a dog. Since I was little, I’ve helped care for dogs of all kinds by feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and making sure they feel loved and cared for. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy spending time with animals and building trust with both pets and their owners. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m dedicated to giving each one the attention, patience, and care they deserve. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine, it’s part of my everyday life! As a dog owner and animal lover, my days already revolve around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure my pups are happy and comfortable. Because caring for pets is what I love most, turning it into a business felt natural. I enjoy building relationships with dogs and giving them plenty of attention, love, and care while their owners are away. I’d be excited to welcome your pup into my routine, too! Every dog I care for becomes part of the family! I treat each pup with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own dogs. I’ll stick to their routine, keep them happy and comfortable, give them plenty of playtime and cuddles, and make sure all their needs are met. I care for every pet the way I’d hope someone would care for mine, with lots of love, patience, and tail-wagging fun.

“Randi was awesome! She sent me daily updates and the pups came home happy and healthy! We normally board at a kennel, and one of our dogs barks herself hoarse- I was happy to find that our female was much more comfortable in Randi’s home! We will be using her again!”
“Mackenzie watched our Dog Cookie for us while we went on a family trip out of town. Mackenzie was kind enough to send pictures of cookie relaxing and having a good time at her house. Cookie was very happy and had a great time with Mackenzie, we will definitely be reaching out to her whenever we have another family trip. Definitely recommend! 5/5 stars!”
“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.”
“Our dogs had an amazing stay with this daughter and mom duo. They gave us daily updates and we can tell they loved our dogs like their own. They had a nice yard and space for the dogs to go out and play in! Even with the yard space they still took them on walks and played ball with them. We will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Justin is always amazing with my pups! They always seem happy during their stay with him and he does a great job keeping us updated with cute pictures. Will continue to rebook with Justin.”
About: I have experience with many different types of animals. I have cats, dogs, a snake, a lizard, snails, and fish. I also lived on a farm and have experience with farm animals. I am good at training dogs and have experience with animal's medication management. My dog has an anxiety disorder, and one of my cats had an intense medical scare which required medication three times a day. Work to provide the best for all my animals, and I'll work to provide the best for yours as well. I currently work part-time during the days. There is never a time where my house is unsupervised for more than a few hours at a time to go out and eat or run errands. With my dogs, I typically crate them when I leave to prevent them from causing problems like digging in the trash, but that is up to your discretion for your animal. I live in a house in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard that my two dogs frequently run around in. I have a small inflatable pool for the animals to play in during the heat. I will take care to attend to each animal's individualized needs, so if your dogs needs to be crated at certain times or has specific triggers please let me know.
“Cedric is amazing with Mitsy! She’s always happy to go by to see her friends Hazel and Nala, and Cedric keeps me updated with all the fun times so I don’t have anything to worry about. She always comes home with a big smile, and sleeps the rest of the day away! Leaving Mitsy in such a loving environment is a great comfort, and they are my go-to for doggy care!”
“Grisel kept us updated daily with Avery’s status along with pictures and videos. She even reached out when Avery was having anxiety from fireworks noise to find out what we do to help her, and offering some suggestions. Avery really enjoyed playing with Grisel’s dog Palermo. We will definitely use Grisel in the future.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Catherine and Ernie and the care they provided for my English Labrador, Luna. Luna stayed with them for six days and nights, and the difference in her behavior has been remarkable. It's now been three days since she came home, and I am still noticing positive changes in her temperament and obedience. They provided the perfect balance of structure, consistency, and what I would call "tough love," which is exactly what Luna needed. Before her stay, Luna could be difficult on walks, would pull on the leash, react aggressively toward other dogs, and even try to bite her collar when I put it on. Catherine and Ernie not only worked with Luna during her stay, but they also took the time to teach me techniques that I could continue using at home. The results were almost immediate. Luna no longer tries to bite her collar, walks much more calmly, and is significantly easier to handle on a leash. One of the biggest improvements came from introducing a prong collar and teaching me how to use it correctly. Walking Luna is now much more enjoyable, and she is far less reactive toward other dogs. Catherine also recommended training videos and resources to help me continue Luna's progress. There are countless dog-training videos on YouTube, but it was incredibly valuable to have someone show me techniques that were specifically effective for my dog. Another thing I truly appreciated was the communication. Catherine kept me updated throughout Luna's stay with regular texts, photos, and videos, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see Luna's progress firsthand. If you are looking for dog sitters who genuinely care about your dog's well-being and are willing to go above and beyond to help improve behavior and training, I highly recommend Catherine and Ernie. Luna came home happier, calmer, and more obedient, and I am extremely grateful for everything they did for her.”
“Lupe was great! Great communication, sent pictures and videos, and kept me updated. She has plenty of space for Kona to run around and play. She even had her own room! Would definitely use her again!”
“Briana was great to work with! She watched our dog for 4 days while we were on vacation and sent us photos every day. Communication prior to the booking was fantastic! I felt confident the whole time away that our dog was in great hands”
“I swear our pup came back better behaved after a stay with Alex. She sent us videos of her playing with other dogs and it made us feel at ease while on vacation!”
