Dog Walking in Wildhorse, Davis, CA

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.

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 been watching sweet fur babies since I was in grade school. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and giving lots of attention to my customer’s furry friends. I promise to treat your fur baby like my own and I can’t wait to meet you! I work part time so I can walk and care for your pets regularly, giving them all of the attention they need in the morning, midday, and night. I am very detail oriented so I will be able to give your pet quality care as well as ensure they are safe in their environment. I have my own dog and want to treat every pet the way I would want others to treat my Daisy Duke.

About: I’ve taken care of dog for with more than 5 years. I personally have two dogs in the house which are 10 lbs and 30 lbs. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered before for a rescue. I’ve also been providing boarding service for my friends with at least 6 dogs, pictures are included in my profile. All the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. I’ve successfully taking care of 5 dogs at one time including two puppies. I’m a recent graduate at UC Davis, and currently WFH all day. I will walk dogs twice a day and give them bathroom break at least 4-5 times every day. I have a fenced yard in the house. All the dogs will be separated when I’m not at home. For safety reasons, dogs will stay in the crate when humans are not around but they can be on furniture once humans are presented.

About: With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and volunteering at the YCAS shelter in Woodland, I offer a level of knowledge and calm that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, and dog-reactive pets. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that’s energetic play, gentle walks, or giving medication. Your pet will be treated like my own. Pet care is my top priority right now, and my schedule is wide open! I’m currently extremely flexible for drop in visits or walks throughout the day. I love making sure pets get consistent care and attention, no matter how busy your routine may be. I treat your home and your pets with total respect and care. During walks and drop-in visits, I always keep your pet’s safety and happiness first by using positive reinforcement, keeping a close eye on surroundings, and following your care instructions exactly. I’ll send updates, photos, and videos so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing. My approach is gentle, responsible, and tailored to each animal’s comfort level.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and the years of hands-on experience I’ve had caring for them. I grew up in a pet-loving household where caring for dogs (and other animals!) was part of daily life—from energetic puppies to aging senior dogs who needed extra patience and care. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all temperaments. Whether your pup needs long walks, medication, or just some belly rubs and companionship, I bring both knowledge and heart to the job. I treat every dog as if they’re my own and take the time to understand their unique needs and personalities. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities—and I’ll always keep you updated with photos, messages, and peace of mind while you’re away! I currently have a flexible, remote position, and am happy to work around the schedule of others! Let me know what your pets' needs are, and I am sure I can work it into my schedule :) My top priority is making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved—whether they’re in my home or I’m in theirs. I adapt my care based on each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk times to special care like medications or crate training. I know how important consistency is, and I aim to make your pet feel like I’m just part of the usual routine. I also make sure to keep the space clean and respectful—your home is treated with the same care I’d give my own. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, welcoming space that’s pet-friendly and safe. I ensure dogs have plenty of time for exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. I limit exposure to unfamiliar pets and follow any special requirements—whether that’s slow introductions, quiet spaces for anxious pups, or keeping to a strict medication schedule. Above all, I give pets the individual attention they deserve and keep you updated regularly with messages and photos so you feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles! Old or young I’ve done it all! Grooming, medication, no worries for me! During my time in the military I also had training with military K-9’s! So if you have a slightly more aggressive dog that may worry you for scheduling a pet sitter, I’m your guy! M-W-F (Overnight or late Evening) T-Th (Late Evening) Sat-Sun (Anytime) Please do let me at least 1-Day in advance prior to cancellation for adjustments, Thanks! I have a completely closed off section that my little babies have for their own pleasure and comfort, no interactions between them and your pet!

About: I’ve been lucky to spend most of my life around animals - growing up with three amazing dogs gave me over 15 years of hands on experience, and I now have two sweet cats of my own (one of whom has asthma, so I’m also experienced with administering medication using an AeroKat). I love spending time with animals and believe in meeting each one where they’re at - whether that means a high energy walk, some playtime, or just quiet companionship. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and routine. Whether you're out for the day or a longer trip, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule to stop by and care for your pet during the day - also available for overnights. Happy to follow instructions on how to care for your pet's specific needs - available to help with medication and have experience working with asthmatic cats.

About: I grew up with a bird and dog, and a cat was recently added to the family (I do not live with any pets currently). I backpack trained the cat, made toys and fortresses for the cat, took the dog on walks and hikes, whistled to the bird, and gave all the animals as many pets as I can! I've additionally done lots of pet sitting over the years for friends and family: cats, small dogs, medium dogs, rats, mice, aquariums, and insects. I don't mind reptiles either! I have a flexible schedule, spare for Thursdays when I have class (but still available for evenings after 6pm). I am willing to wake up early or stay up late for the job. I make sure to take things slow when needed in order to prevent stress for the animals. I keep a consistent schedule for feeding and cleaning. And I try to engage with the animals as much as possible when they are up for it. There is a tendency to be more easy going but I amp up the energy for playtime and walks. I like to walk in general, so I can go far for those higher energy dogs!

“Jax just loves Zoe! She great with him and knows how to handle big dogs. She’s also very attentive to Jax’s needs and treats him like her own. We really trust her and appreciate all of her help! 😊 🐕”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I have experience owning and caring for dogs since the third grade. I have experience feeding, grooming, bathing, playing, walking, jogging, running, and basic training (sit, stay, down, leave it, paw, high-five, heel, leash training) with dogs and puppies of all ages. I also have experience training my own service dog when I was in undergrad. I also have a bachelor’s in animal science, and have hands on experience with handling dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and hamsters. One thing I do care about is providing quality service to ensure that the pet feels at home meanwhile missing their owners. I’m currently looking for a new job so I have a lot of flexibility with my current schedule. I am available to board Fridays through Sundays. I am available to house sit/pet sit weekdays and weekends. Since I’m currently a student taking online classes and not working, I have flexible availability. I am open to make any accommodations in regards to rescheduling or extending a stay for clients that are able to provide me a 24-48 hour notice. I like to communicate with my clients about any specific needs or concerns that I would need to know as a caretaker. Knowing the personality, age, medical needs, tips and tricks, favorite snacks, and as many details about your pet is valuable information for me. I want to ensure that all needs for the client and the pet is met. I value safety and trust, which I find very important to build in a client-based environment.

About: There's something about cats and small dogs that just resonate. I have grown up and lived with a variety of animals: cats, pittie mix, small dogs, birds, and I vibe the strongest with cat energy (small dogs are also cats). I've been pet sitting across multiple platforms and word of mouth, and new to rover!. If your pet is looking for a friend with a cozy vibe, look no further :) I spend most of my time writing and making art at home, so we will have have plenty of time to bond. I will make sure they feel like someone loving and safe 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. I tend to bond easily with animals since my priority is keeping each pet comfortable in their own routine and home. I'm really not in a rush to get myself on their good side, and they appreciate that. I follow their lead and it works!

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and I’ve always had a passion for helping them. I used to pet sit for neighbors often when I was younger. I have a particular love for cats, and I would do anything for them! It can be hard to find a person to watch your cat or even exotic pet, but that’s what I’m aiming to help people with! I have almost 6 years of clinical animal care technician and shelter experience so I am well trained with animals with medical issues. I have worked with pets of all kinds and all ages with different needs. I have done everything from bottle feeding to giving senior animals insulin or whatever else they may need. I am Fear Free certified as well. I recently moved to the area and am looking for work. Caring for pets is what I know and love. If I get a more steady job, my availability may lessen. I understand that pets can be confused by new people coming into their home to take care of them, but I am well versed in animal behavior and would never do anything to make your pet uncomfortable. I will take the time to get to know your pet and assist them with whatever they may need. I currently do not live in a situation where I can petsit other people’s pets in my own home unfortunately.

About: Hi pet parents! I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry (or feathery, scaly, or hoofed!) family members behind. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I have over 7 years of experience working in critical care in ER and ICU settings, most recently at the UC Davis Veterinary Teaching Hospital, the #1 vet school in the country. I’m Fear Free Certified, CPR certified, and comfortable caring for pets of all ages with special needs or medical conditions. Beyond my professional life, I’ve shared my home with all kinds of animals, including chickens, dogs, cats, tortoises, and even farm animals, so I understand how much each pet’s unique personality matters. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just someone patient and gentle, I can help! Their happiness and safety will always be my top priority! I’m currently working at UC Davis M-F until 4:30 pm. I prefer daytime check-ins and quality time vs overnight stays at the moment, but am open to it for the right client! Let me know your pet’s needs and I’ll see if I can help! Of course, caring for every pet is unique. I will work with you and your pet's usual schedule to ensure their needs and yours are being met to perfection! I also require that I am left with a detailed document outlining your pet's medical history, preferred veterinary ER, medical insurance information, emergency care cost approval, and at least 2 emergency contacts if I am unable to reach you. All of which is to ensure that I am best equip with the tools to get your pet the help they need as soon as possibly if an emergency should arise.

“Michaelle was so great with our pups. She was very communicative and responsive. She was prompt and thorough in her messages. Would absolutely use her again to walk our pups while we are out of town.”
