“My dog enjoyed walking with Nikki!!”
About: ⸻ Hi, I’m Darya — your pet’s new best friend. 🐾 With over 16 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter, and a background working in a veterinary clinic, I bring a deep understanding of animals and their needs. Whether it’s a playful pup, a senior cat, or a nervous rescue, I care for every pet with patience, love, and a whole lot of heart. Animals have always been a huge part of my life — they’re not just pets, they’re family. I pride myself on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pets feel comfortable and genuinely cared for. Whether you need daily walks, overnight care, or just someone to keep your furry friend company, I’m here to help — with experience, kindness, and plenty of belly rubs. Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. With over 16 years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking — and a background working in a veterinary clinic — caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I truly love. I’ve shaped my schedule around being there when your pets need me most, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays. I approach each day with patience, reliability, and a calm energy that animals respond to. Your pets’ comfort and well-being are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In your home, I always respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s routine — from feeding schedules and walk times to their favorite toys and nap spots. I create a calm, familiar environment so they feel secure while you’re away. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I offer a cozy, clean, and peaceful space where they can relax, play, and enjoy lots of one-on-one attention. I carefully introduce them to the space and tailor everything to their individual needs — whether that means quiet corners, slow-paced walks, or plenty of playtime. No matter the setting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.
About: I have been dog sitting since I was 17, spent the night at houses with animals, provided walks, food, baths and playtime. Many clients have asked me back. I have worked with both cats and dogs. I also grew up with cats and dogs and know how to care for them well. I am currently on summer break here in Davis with a pretty open schedule. Please reach out and we can coordinate a time that works with both of us! A clean and safe environment that is comfortable for both the animals and myself. Has parking, preferably fenced for extra safety, neighbors who are willing to communicate with me.
About: I have a ton of experience working with a variety of dogs, ranging from puppies to senior, lazy to high maintenance, etc. My life revolves around my pets, and I am eager to share that passion with yours. I have a lot of experience with senior care as well-my pup requires a lot of at home treatments in her final months of life. I'm currently a PhD student, getting my degree in animal welfare, so I have relatively flexible hours. I don't have a set work schedule, so let me know what works best for you and I can likely work around that :) my day to day already revolves around my pet, and has for basically all of my adult life. I have a fenced yard, fully baby-proofed house, and pet-experienced roommates. My cat is my only current pet, and he is good with other cats and cat-friendly dogs.
About: I have been around pets my entire life. I have pet sat for many of my friends and family members. I am reliable, flexible, and love all types of animals! I am about to graduate from UC Davis with a degree in Human Biology! I love being around pets and wanted to add an extra income this summer before pursuing grad school. I currently have a calico cat and a golden retriever. I love taking my dog for morning walks and cuddling with my cat at night.
“This was my first time ever using Rover or hiring a dog walker and Nora was AMAZING!! She was so wonderful with my senior lab and flexible with her needs. Thank you for taking such great care of her while I was away!”
“I can’t give her enough stars! Maddie was very professional, met me the night before, interacted with my dog and spent the full 30 min with him for both of the walks. I highly recommend her.”
About: I've always been an animal lover and hope to pursue veterinary medicine as a career. I've spent a lot of time around dogs and cats, and consider myself very qualified to handle people's pets. I'm home from college from the summer and have ample time on my hands, which gives me plenty of flexibility to schedule time to take care of your pets! I have one small friendly dog that mostly stays inside (she's very lazy)and a large fenced in yard. I always watch my dog when I take her out to go to the bathroom just in case she somehow tries to escape or attempts to eat something she shouldn't be.
“Devi communicated well before, during, and after walking our dog; and she took great care of our dog. Thank you, Devi!”

I have experience with puppy training, administering medications, senior care, and more :) I am a graduate student at UCD currently on summer break! My research schedule is very flexible so I would love to come care for your puppy anytime of day :) I am happy to come take your dog for a mini adventure, hang out at your house, or anything in between!

Olivia A.
“Olivia was a wonderful pet sitter for our 2 English Cream Retrievers. She pet sat at our home for 7 days and nights She'd did an amazing job with our 2 pups. She cared for them in the way we would as if we were home. Highly recommended and will use her again next time we head out of town.”
Isabelle M.
“Isabelle is an extremely attentive, conscientious, and generous person. She has watched my pets on multiple occasions and always goes out of her way to make sure that they’re cared for and loved. I have two extremely needy cats who wouldn’t do well being alone, and while other pet sitters might just drop in to feed them and scoop the litter box, Isabelle made sure to sit with them and cuddle them as much as they need. She’s an excellent and caring pet sitter and would be an excellent addition to the rover team.”

Village Homes dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alondra is always very attentive and trustworthy to my dog’s needs. She shows up on time and communicates clearly. My dog has a great time on her walks with her.
Esmiralda was fantastic. She is very professional, reliable, and certainly was liked by Chloe. I would highly recommend her.
Another great walk with Manjari, mochi, and I look forward to the next time she comes to visit and walk her!
A kind and caring dog walker for our hound dogs. We will keep relying on Lucia for our dog walking support!
Nora is so great! Really responsive and cares a lot about the dog she’s walking. Takes cute pictures too!
My dog is very anxious and was super nervous to have a stranger in his house, but Joon went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable ❤️
Emma was amazing with my dog, Molly! She was reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. Molly warmed up to her right away, and I loved getting photos and updates after each walk. Emma went above and beyond to make sure Molly was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her!
This was our third time working with Vita, and as always, she was fantastic! She provided over 20 days of continuous care for our home and dogs, ensuring everything ran smoothly. We felt completely at ease knowing our house and beloved pets were in such capable hands. Highly recommended!
Just three visits from Kat while we were out of town was enough for our doggo to practically tackle her in joy when she dropped by to return the key. That should tell you all you need to know! Thanks Kat.
Orin was great with Lily - came on time, was generous with the playtime, and Lily was very happy. We’d gladly recommend her as a dog walker!
Joyscelyn did a great job of making friends with and handling my 90 pound German Shepherd. It was a great experience for both of us and I trusted her completely.
I have a dog that is leash reactive to other dogs and Kira was very understanding and willing to do a walk together first to learn the commands and management tricks I use with my dog. Kira clearly loves dogs and is very tuned into every aspect of dog care. Kira asked lots of questions and was dedicated to learning everything possible to best care for my pup!
