About: I absolutely love all pets! I spent this past summer volunteering as a dog socializer and walker at Pets Lifeline Animal Shelter. I am comfortable around all dogs, all energy levels, I understand their body language, and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I will dedicate my time to loving them and prioritizing your routine. I also have a pup of my own, a pug, who loves to get out of the house and is always curious! As a UC Davis student, I plan my schedule carefully to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find walk times that work for both of us, and I prioritize being punctual, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs When I'm at your home or on walks, I adapt to your usual routine for your pet and whatever you do to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life, as well as all sorts of other animals. I watch my sisters dogs on a weekly basis, and love to help others! I’m a fan of medium to large dogs, and I’m on time, with reliable transportation. I will treat your fur-baby with the same amount of love that I do mine! I’m currently taking a break from regular work, looking to babysit and pet sit for a few months to bring some joy into my life! I’m available weekdays anytime, and Sundays from 1pm into the night. Some Saturdays, can be flexible. I keep my home clean and well maintained. I open feed my own cats, and spend time with them whenever possible. I like to clean my littler boxes every day, and when I had a dog of my own, I would walk her 4-5 times a day, and play with her all the time. I love training, and engaging with animals. I’m happy to care for your pets however you see fit, as long as it includes lots of love!

About: Hi! I’m a UC Davis student and passionate animal lover. I have my own cat and 3 years of experience volunteering with pet rescues and animal shelters, where I helped many dogs find loving homes. I’m experienced with dog walking, handling different temperaments, and providing patient, attentive care. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding throughout the week. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular routine and can accommodate different feeding, walking, and play schedules. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and relax. I also have my own friendly cat, so I’m experienced with pets in the home. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and prioritize their pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates during their stay.

About: I’m a pet owner myself, so I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new. I’m patient and really pay attention to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether they’re super playful, shy, cuddly, or prefer their own space, I’ll let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, litter box cleaning, and lots of cuddles if they want them! I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m available anytime and any day during the summer. I have a flexible schedule, so I can spend plenty of time caring for your pets. For morning visits, please let me know in advance! Pet’s safety and emotions are my top priority. In a client’s home, I will follow the pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I clean up after them, make sure they have fresh water, and provide plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of the home space and always leave it as I found it. If pets are staying with me, they’ll have a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable.

“Suhani took wonderful care of my corgi, Willy, for a few hours, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. She went above and beyond by baking homemade dog treats for him, taking him on a nice walk, and showering him with plenty of love and attention. When I picked Willy up, he was happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired—the perfect sign that he had a fun and enriching time. It's clear that Suhani genuinely cares about dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust her with Willy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful, and reliable pet sitter.”

About: I love animals of all types! My first pet sitting experience was at the age of 10 with a very sweet German Shephard, Storm. Over the years I've connected with many a canine, feline, and on occasion, equine family members. It's an honor to be trusted by you, and more importantly your four legged companion to care for them while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and levels of energy. You'll see many pictures of me and my late pup Jude. I had the pleasure of being his parent all 15years he roamed this earth. From potty training, behavior training, grooming and senior care. I've done it all. I work part time in Davis and am home around supper time. On workdays I am able to walk/spend time with your furry companion in the mornings and evenings. I'm available on my days off & the weekends for extended visits or walks. In the evening I'm able to do the same. I live in a small apartment that does not allow cats or dogs. If I am boarding your animals overnight, it will need to be in your home. Whatever accommodations your home has for your pet, I'll happily utilize them to ensure their comfort.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve had years of hands-on experience with my own Aussie Doodle, so I understand how much attention, routine, and affection animals need to thrive. I’m very in tune with their emotions and needs, and I treat every pet like family. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, I watched my aunt’s older pup for a week and followed his strict walking and feeding schedule closely, making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, providing senior care, or just spending quality time showing pets love and attention, I always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy. My goal is for every animal to feel just as loved as they would at home. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily life. I have a five-year-old Aussie Doodle who’s truly a member of the family, and I make it a point every day to ensure she feels loved, cared for, and happy. Whether it’s taking her on walks, playing with her, or simply giving her affection, her well-being is always a priority for me. As a student at UC Davis, I’m constantly surrounded by animals, especially cats and dogs around campus. They often gravitate toward me, and I love taking a moment to give them attention and affection. I also can’t help but smile at every dog I see. I get genuinely excited to meet and pet them, even if just for a moment. Animals bring me joy, and I try to return that love in every interaction. At home, I care for my five-year-old Aussie Doodle every single day. I make sure she’s well-fed, always has fresh water, and of course, gets her favorite treats. We go on walks, play together, and every night, I tuck her into bed, it’s part of our routine and something I truly enjoy. Her happiness and comfort are always my priority. I also cared for my aunt’s senior dog for a week, and it was a very different but equally rewarding experience. He had a strict walking and feeding schedule that I followed closely to keep him comfortable and healthy. I made sure he received plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day, adjusting to his pace and needs. Whether it's my own pet or someone else’s, I always put in the time and heart to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of.

About: I have been caring for animals for 15 years of my life. From dogs to cats or rabbits and fish. I have had a range of experience between differing species. I grew up caring for 2 Chihuahuas, 1 Siberian Husky, 1 Bull Mastiff and 8 cats. Whether it's playtime, long walks or evening cuddles I make sure each pet feels at home with me. I have 3 days off during the week when my 10 year old is at school. The other week days I work in the early morning and am available for the rest of the day. Weekends I am available in the morning. So I have a bit of free time to care for your loved ones. In your home I will feed your pets according to their schedule. Refresh water and food bowls. Let dogs out for bathrooms breaks either on a walk or in backyard per your instructions. Provide stimulation for your animals with playtime and walks around the neighborhood.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and love there fur babies.I worked with dogs that need medical care and strict diets and love to work with every kind. I'll have plenty of time to play love and care for your fur babies! I'm available from Monday through Friday from 8am to 10pm sometimes the weekends I have a fenced yard and plenty of room to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if it is very necessary.

“Ally is awesome. She goes above and beyond to help us with our senior dog, staying late and adjusting to our dog’s needs. She’s kind, diligent, responsive, and easy to work with. 5+ stars!”

About: I have cared for a wide range of animals since my childhood on a small family farm. I have bottle fed kittens to goats, trained puppies to ducks, and cared for little piglets to senior dogs. I also have some experience with medical procedures with dogs and cats, to farm animals. Experience with cats with diabetes, pets with blindness, deafness, and immobility. I enjoy caring for animals of all shapes and sizes and good care and enrichment is always my top priority! I like to check on my animals and animals I’m caring for a minimum of 3 times a day for 30 minutes each. With cats I like to spend time playing, setting up enrichment activities, and learning how they are most comfortable. With dogs I like to do a minimum of 3 walks a day followed by some of their favorite activities. I believe pets should be checked on morning, afternoon and evening at minimum. I like to follow the routine of the pets parents to a T so as to not disturb the pets while their families are gone. I think having a routine is important for a pet especially when their people/family are gone.

“This was a meet & greet walk and everything went well!”

“Eva is an amazing dog sitter! She absolutely loves and adores my dog, which is the best thing a dog parent can ask for! My dog is so much happier when she comes to see him and I love seeing how happy he is in Eva’s rover reports. I am a helicopter dog mom and Eva has been so attentive and thoughtful, which has been a huge blessing! I cannot recommend her enough!!”

About: I have been a dog lover ever since I was young and I got my first dog when I was 7. I took care of him until he left me. I feel like all animals around me are my best friends. I also volunteered in a non governmental organization in the Philippines to help out with animals who are in need and needs love and attention. Interned in a pet clinic which taught me how to prepare their medicine and inject them in their IV lines If only I could adopt all those animals who need a home I would rush to any animal shelter and provide everything they need. I think that’s what makes me different from other sitters and walkers because in the future I want to be a veterinarian and save animals. It has been my dream to help these lovely creatures. I’m currently a full time veterinary assistant who works Monday to Friday. I have an hour lunch so if its close or they are staying with me, I can swing by and check in on them. During weekends, I am available. I provide a safe environment by dog/cat proofing my place. I am very particular about making sure they don’t get into absolutely anything. These pets are treated like my own. Under my watch, they are treated the best care they possibly can get.
