1. Matthew D.

“We are very thankful for Matt house and pet sitting during our vacation. It was a 10 day trip and its good to have peace of mind that someone like Matti is caring for our two pets. Taking out dog Bruno to the dog park was great for a high energy pup. We will definitely book him again!”


2. Emme N.
“Emme was an absolutely splendid pet sitter for my senior dog. She is incredibly nice, competent and communicative and demonstrates all of that in a first impression. While away for the weekend I never had to worry; any outreach I had was always met with a swift response. There is no doubt she absolutely loves dogs and is a reliable pet-sitter for your furry-friend!”


3. Carey C.

“Carey did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated on his activities, shared several pictures, and made sure he was well looked after. She also took good care of our home, which we really appreciated. We’d be happy to book her again in the future and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable dog sitter!”


4. Esmerilda R.

“Esmerilda is a fantastic. She made sure she knew our needs and our lab's routine before we left -- and kept us updated throughout our trip. Our very active dog was thrilled to have Esmerilda take care of her, and we look forward to having her help us again in the future. Highest recommendations!”

About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for around 4 years. I have fostered many kittens and puppies as well! I also am pursuing a veterinary career and currently work in a veterinary hospital. I'm comfortable doing special care for pets and grooming (including nail trimming). I also do well with puppy training due to my experience fostering and owning pups! I'm currently working part time and work 8am-6pm Monday and Friday in a vet hospital. Throughout the week and weekend I am mostly at home. My job also allows me to bring pets with me to work! I typically start by making sure the animals in the house can smell me first and I'll give them treats(if allowed) so they can relax a bit. I also will adhere to any and all instructions left by the owner. I also will be able to play with pets and give them lots of attention!

About: I have been in love with cats and small dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with 4 cats, 2 pigeons, a pittie mix, and 2 small dogs in my home, and immediately adopted my own cat once I moved out. I've been pet sitting across multiple platforms since I was 15. Your larger, active dog loves the fact that I am runner. Your cat and senior dogs love the way they can cuddle up to me while I'm constantly writing. I'm here for the quality time, and here because if I could adopt every cat and dog in the world, I absolutely would. I am excited to bond with your pet and make them feel like someone loving and familiar is still around while you are on your trip away! Excepting the other Rover sits, I work on a contract and freelance schedule, so my schedule is relatively flexible. Shoot me a message and let's see if we can make it work. Even if I'm fully booked, go ahead and reach out and I'll see if I can squeeze you in. One might say I'm obsessed with cats and dogs. I tend to bond easily with animals since my priority is keeping each pet comfortable in their own routine and home. Communication is huge for me - I care to pick up on your pet's cues. I have compassion for the signals, and know when to give space, and how to comfort. I love caring for small sensitive dogs. Small is not less to me. I'm small. I really care to coax them into feeling calm and safe.


7. Ashley B.

“Ashley was wonderful! I highly recommend her. She did such a great job with my little dog. She was timely, trustworthy, a great communicator, and best of all my dog loves her! Thank you, Ashley!”


8. Kendall D.

“We were visiting from out of town and needed someone to watch our puppy at our hotel—and Kendall was amazing! She was punctual, kind, and clearly experienced with young dogs. Our pup was calm and happy when we returned, and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated her flexibility and professionalism. Highly recommend if you live the area or visiting like us and need a trustworthy sitter!”

11. Hailey P.

“Hailey did a wonderful job with our two dogs! She managed them very well and took care of them like they were her own :) She sent daily updates and photos, kept our home in good condition, and she took our dogs for walks. She is very responsive and responsible. We would definitely ask Hailey to dog sit our pets again!”


12. Nora S.

“Nora is very reliable and our dog Bailey took to her right away. We received regular updates and had the peace of mind that our home and pet were in good hands while we were away.”


13. Misha D.

“Misha did a great job taking care of my kitties, one of whom required 10 pills per day! She was super responsive, considerate, reliable, and kind.”


14. Carla T.

“We asked Carla to dogsit our golden doodle this weekend. She did a fantastic job from start to finish. Carla came.to our house to meet Teddy and become familiar with her personality. Carla communicated with us through out the weekend, updating us with pictures and short texts. It is common for Teddy not to eat while we are gone, but because Carla made her feel calm, she ate the first evening Carla came. Carla left our home clean and in order. We highly recommend her to you and will be calling her in the future.”


15. Susannah L.

“We feel lucky to have discovered Susannah on Rover! From the moment we met her, we liked her. and she seemed to like our pets. Our dog, Beau took to her quickly. It’s the best thing to know our pets were with a great person like Susanna, while we took a four-day road trip. She was extra kind and slept with our daughter’s cat!”


16. Mia M.
“Mia loves all animals, but especially dogs. I have noticed that she stops, pets and talks to every dog that crosses her path. She is a sweet and responsible young woman. I would highly recommend her for anyone who loves their fur babies.”


17. Cassandra M.
About: I have owned a few dogs in my lifetime and as of 5 years ago I started caring for my neighbors’ dogs all throughout Davis! I typically stay the night and give them playtime in the backyard or walks.. whatever is needed, I’m there. I have experience with administering oral medication to dogs. I’m a recent UC Santa Cruz graduate with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and I’m currently looking for wildlife technician jobs as well as applying to grad school. I’m a part time caregiver at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I make sure to ask all the right questions in case of emergency and for the comfort of the pets. I like to get written lists of everything that needs to be done while the owners are away, this helps with any clarifying questions I may have!


18. Melissa F.

“Melissa was wonderful. She took care of my 18 year old chihuahua. She did everything we asked of her and I highly recommend her to anyone that has a needy little guy like mine”


19. Samantha B.
About: I've had pets my entire life—cats, dogs, birds, and more—and I truly love caring for them. Now that I work remotely, I have the flexibility to offer pet care in the Davis area. I’m responsible, caring, reliable, and attentive, and I’d be thrilled to spend my days helping you care for your beloved pets. especially since I am not able to own any of my own right now. Whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or just some extra companionship, I’m here to help! I work remotely fully time so I am very flexible during the week! Anytime 9am-6pm should work with me for pet care, whether that be a walk, feeding, in home stay, or just a check in. I am open to overnight stays as well. I currently do not a have a space to welcome animals, which is more reason why I’m missing being with animals throughout the week in the Davis area.

“My dogs love Anabelle. She is very calm and fun. They especially like her glow in the dark chuck it ball! When I get back from vacation I am a little worried my dogs miss her more than me!”
