“Sofia had great communication and updated me during every visit she had with my pug. Even though my dog can be stubborn when it comes to eating, she always made sure he ate and was taken care of.”

About: When I was 9, I got my first dog, and that is how I started to be interested in being a vet and take care of dogs. I’m a UCD Animal Science student. My class schedule is not very busy other than Thursdays for this quarter, so I will be home most of the time other than that. I have 3 roommates (2 are also Animal Science students) who also loves animals and knows how to take care of them and have experiences with pets. There will usually be at least 1-2 person at home always. We have plenty of space for your pet to run around in the house, and a yard which we can be taking the dog out for potty breaks.

“Crystal was great! I love love love her communication durning her visits. We even sent me photos and that comforted me while I was away from my fur babies. I can tell my dogs like her also.”
“Jessica was the best! I had her watch my kitties for a couple days and just loved her daily updates with all of the pictures. (She takes fab pics btw, made Kale look like a little model😁) My cats were content and relaxed when I got back so I know they were in good hands. When she returned the key to me, she gave me a little package with the nicest note and some cat treats and a cat toy which was SO NICE of her!! Will definitely be booking again, thank you Jessica!”

About: I have a wide range of dog experience. Puppies, seniors, reactive, and medicated ones. I am fear free certified and have taken many animal classes and animal behavior classes for my animal science major. Outside of a classroom setting I have worked in a shelter where I was a medical volunteer. This required me to work with dogs that I had no insight to a lot of the dog’s background and always stayed aware of their behavior. A lot of the bigger dogs I worked with were abused, abandoned, or injured and having to work with animals that have trauma like that is heartbreaking but also can affect their behavior towards people. That being said I had to work with dogs that were more challenging and more often than not were labeled aggressive but were actually just scared. I have house sat friends and families before and always send an absurd amount of photos to owners of their fur baby (that’s at least what I prefer) and I have no problem communicating any uncertainties, questions, or concerns to an owner. I would rather be safe than sorry always. I do not have a lot of senior care experience but would love to learn. I took care of a few cases where there were medications twice daily but I know there are more extreme senior care situations I won’t pretend to know how to do but I am eager to do my research and learn from the owner! Fairly flexible. I am a student and barista. My barista job is part time with the average shift lasting around 4 hours and the absolute most I could be scheduled for is 7hrs but that rarely happens. It is also a flexible job where I can get easy covers if needed or swap shifts. I take the better safe than sorry approach when caring for any pet whether it is someone else’s or my own. I will do my research on something I am unsure about which is the reason I have learned so much about my own pet’s compromised immune system. This is why I will not be housing any pets myself but I have practiced many different bio security measures and feel confident all animals will be safe and happy. I am a big communicator and if I have concerns questions or uncertainties I will not hesitate to just ask.
“Michelle took care of my 12-yr old pit bull mix and 5 yr old cat. Michelle was extraordinarily responsible, dedicated and loving! I'm not sure the animals wanted me to come home again :) I would give Michelle 10 stars if I could!”

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, both are low to medium energy. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered senior dogs before for a rescue. For safety reasons, all the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. Walks twice a day, no dog park trips unless owner requests for safety precautions. No human aggression is allowed, any growling/nipping/snapping for no reasons is not acceptable. If your dog is being too stressed among other dogs, I have separate room to place him/her, and he/she will get quality along time with human every day. Pictures and videos will be send out about 5-10 times/day. 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 purposes. Anyone being too stressed will have a separate room for resting.
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner since I was 12 years old, starting with my own pup Peaches. I’m reliable, friendly, and truly love spending time with dogs - your dog will be treated like my own :) Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m a UC Davis student with classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-visits, and consistent care! I take in-home pet care seriously and understand the trust it requires. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your dog’s routine, and committed to providing reliable, loving care. Having cared for my own dog, Peaches, for 10 years, I know how to keep dogs comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.
“Michaelle did a great job checking in on my cat! She was super communicative, responded quickly to messages, and also sent plenty of pictures and videos during the visit! My cat looked very happy to hang out with her!”

“My first time using Rover, was skeptical but everything went great with Olivia! She took great care of my pup and sent daily updates/pictures. Would highly recommend to anyone.”

About: I've pet-sat for friends and neighbors since I was 12. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, dietary restrictions, and health complications. I have owned all types of pets from small hamsters and mice, to turtles and fish, rabbits, and dogs. I am also an avid plant person and love to care and nurture my plant babies just as much as I do my pets. I have extended gaps in between work projects and am available to walk and play with your pets, or just hang out at home with them! When working I am available for overnight stays, early mornings, or after 5 pm on weekdays. My weekends are flexible and I will work hard to make my schedule revolve around your pets needs. When I'm not working my schedule is devoted to you and your pets and I am available weekdays and weekends. I will treat your pets like they're my own! I am also willing to do other house sitting tasks such as care for plants and smaller animals in the home. Let me know what you need me to do to keep your home running smoothly while you are away.
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!
About: I have taken care of dogs for neighbors and friends consistently for the last seven years ranging from feeding and taking them out once a day to staying at their house for multiple weeks caring for large and small dogs. I volunteered at a humane society for three years where I worked mostly with walking, entertaining, and caring for dogs. Because of this I have a lot of experience with dogs of different temperaments and have learned how to get dogs out of sketchy situations with other dogs in public. I am currently working part time from 10am - 2pm on Tue/Thur and have class most evenings. Anytime outside of these times can work with my schedule! I am comfortable walking large dogs in public, keeping an eye on them in a pool or enclosed yard, as well as crating them if required. I have a standard sedan and am comfortable taking dogs to parks for walks as well. If I were to transport dogs I would be willing to take whatever measures to assure the dogs safety in the car, which would be up to the owner.

Jessica provided truly excellent care for our 2 year old cat while we were out of town for several weeks. She played with her, got to know her personality and preferences, and continued to shift her care and support to make her life happy and healthy in our absence. Our time away from home was much easier knowing that Jessica was making daily visits for food, litter, pets, and play! In addition, Jessica's daily reports, photos and short videos were awesome! We looked forward to receiving them and taking a look each evening. Thank you so much, Jessica!!

Jessica and her daughters did a fantastic job taking care of my cats while I was away. She was reliable and communicative. She kept me updated and made sure everything kitties need were taken care of. My cats were happy and relaxed when I returned, which says a lot. I really appreciate their professionalism and kindness.
Hannah was exceptional!! Extremely communicative and sent me a video of my cat with update pictures of food and water. She followed all instructions to a tee and was an absolute pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Hannah if you need someone to take care of your pet!

Lily was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our four cats while we were away for 10 days and sent daily updates with photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was easy to reach, reliable, and a joy to work with. She even brought in our packages for us. I’d definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a loving, dependable pet sitter!

Adele was great with our two cats. They warmed up to her quickly. She was attentive and played with them, she communicated with us and responded quickly. She was friendly but still professional, and we highly recommend her to watch your pets. Adele is a wonderful pet sitter.
