About: I grew up around dogs, and always knew I would want one of my own. I finally adopted my beagle rescue mix, Busy, three years ago! Being a dog mom has deepened my love for all creatures and I value any time I get to spend with all types of furry friends! 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! If your dog would enjoy a furry friend, my dog can tag along or she can stay at home. I have experience with crate training dogs, walking/playing with reactive dogs, puppies, and elderly dogs.
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’ve grown up with a St. Bernard and a Beagle since I was 4 years old and currently have a Maltese-Kokoni. I’ve been exposed other breeds such as Border Collie, Pitbull, Maltese, Great Pyrenees, Chihuahua, you name it! I have experience in training, administering medication and care for senior dogs. I am currently a full time student at UC Davis aspiring to be a Veterinarian. I am on summer break and currently taking summer courses for half a session and would be fully available after July 31st. I am available from 6-9 AM everyday and MWF available after 2 PM. Saturdays and Sundays I’m available all day. I like to stick closely to your animals daily routines. I would like to know their energy levels, how they react towards people and other animals before walking them. I care for animals like family!

About: I just graduated from UC Davis and I am looking for more opportunities to apply my animal behavior skills. I have been working at the UC Davis Vet hospital for 2 years and have been pet sitting since I was 12!! I have experience with walks and home visits. I specialize in long walks to tire out those crazy pups! I am free every week day and Saturday at anytime! There are some weeks in the month where I participate in Field Research on birds, so may be gone at certain times. I can usually work around your schedule and what your pet(s) may need! I am capable with dealing with large or small dogs and can easily handle their different energy levels. I like to send pictures and write down our daily activities if you decide to choose me for overnights or check ins. For our walks I can tell you the routes I may walk on and if there are areas, people, or dogs you’d like me to avoid or be closer to! I will care for your pets as if they were my own!

Village Homes pet parents share their Rover experiences
Juliana was wonderful with my two cats while I was away! She gave great updates and pictures on my cats and they seemed to have loved her while I was away! I would hire again in a heartbeat!
She was the best! I booked Jessica for a week with my 7 year old Maine coon mix. After giving written instructions, during the meet up she explained how the process worked (first time using Rover) and asked all of the important questions. She took the cutest photos and wrote very detailed updates + helpful suggestions. She was also very competent when taking care of my cat’s long fur, dental care, and overall keeping him comfortable. She even brought a meditation bowl which was so cute to watch!!! Last of all, Jessica communicated very well and was accommodating despite the mess of errands I’ve had.
Very good communication, we are always comfortable knowing Aaron is taking excellent care of our cat.
Bray was very communicative and checked in on my cats while I was travellling. Everything looked fine once I got back.
Sydney is very personable and did an excellent job caring for our very energetic rottweiler as well as our senior kitty. She was on time, trust worthy and responsible and just a kind positive person. I would trust her again in a heartbeat with my pets!
Nicholas was amazing with our 3 cats and they all loved him! He went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and was very communicative during our trip. He is very good with animals and a trustworthy sitter. We would love to have him look after our cats again in the future.
Emma did an amazing job. I loved all the photos she sent me, especially the ones where she was giving Atlas cuddles. I felt like I could rely on her and thats all I could ask for! Thank you for caring for my boy
Nora did an absolutely fantastic job! Very responsive, answered all my questions and check ins making the whole processes stress free. Sent cute pictures too! It was so clear that my cat loved Nora, highly recommend!
Noel was amazing with my puppy and older cavalier. She was patient with my mouthy puppy and made them so happy while I was gone. She was also very good at communication! I only had her for a short visit but I look forward to (and so do my two dogs) hiring her again!!!
This is the 3rd time Elsa takes care of my kitties. She was caring, loving and followed my instructions. My boy cat adores her and I will definitely book her again.
Mackenzie is awesome! She did a great job house sitting for us during the day while our dog was recovering from surgery. She is flexible, helpful, and trustworthy. She sent me lots of pictures too! Would definitely recommend and will rebook in the future.
Jessie did an amazing job again! It’s great to be able to leave knowing that our kitty is in excellent hands.
Audrey took excellent care of our dogs while we were out of town! She was punctual, knowledgeable, and very professional. Most importantly, she made sure our dogs were well taken care of and updated us with pictures! I will plan on using her services whenever possible. Highly recommend!
This was our second time having Tiali check in on our rats and as before she was a wonderful pet sitter. Would always recommend!
She is very communicative which helped my anxiety. I have a large breed dog and Xinyuan met her beforehand and got along well and was comfortable with her!
Esmerilda is a phenomenal cat sitter! I am so grateful for her careful attention to detail and her loving care for our pets. She made our cats comfortable, which meant a lot to us since they are anxious when we are away. I highly recommend booking her!
Griffin did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. Everything went smoothly, and we really appreciated the updates!
