“Danni went above and beyond in taking care of my puppy during our first weekend trip away. I truly was able to relax knowing she was in good hands, as Danni is both experienced with dogs and very nurturing. I also really appreciated how she agreed to sit on such short notice, even July 4th nonetheless. She even generously cleaned up a few things at my home. I definitely recommend Danni and will continue to stay in touch!”


“We feel so lucky to have found Carey. She house sat for us and took the BEST care of our dog Lily. She sent many, many pictures and videos of our Lily and it made us so happy to see our puppy dog was having such a fun time while we were away. I will definitely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her.”


“Misha was very responsive to my messages, made sure to take adorable pictures every day, and was able to keep our sensitive rescue happy and on his usual schedule. Additionally, she was flexible with timing issues due to plane delays, which we were incredibly thankful for. Thanks for doing such a wonderful job taking care of our dog :)”


“Rachel was great! We have a Saint Bernard and 2 cats and they loved her. She sent us photos while we on vacation and gave us regular updates. This was the first time we have left our pets with anyone, and Rachel was very respectful of our pets and our space. We were very apprehensive about hiring a random person to care for our pets, but the second we met Rachel we were put at ease. Rachel asked us questions about the care of our pets that we hadn't thought about, which gave us the confidence that she knows what she doing. She is amazing and we will definitely rebook with her.”


“Yessel is fantastic! Her communication was super and her care for our dog was wonderful-didn’t worry once knowing our puppy was in great hands.”


About: Growing up with Vets as parents, animals have been a huge part of my life. Whether it’s walking your dog or house sitting, i’m there. Hey! I'm Zach Walsh. I'm a recent college graduate who is currently seeking employment in my desired field but am having some troubles finding a full time job, so looking to make some extra cash. I have a lifelong love for animals. Growing up in a family of veterinarians, I've been surrounded by pets and animal care my entire life. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your furry family members, and I would be honored to help. I am available for dropping in and walking your dog or even staying the night and house sitting. I currently have 4 dogs and 3 cats. All are well taken care of and dogs are walked daily. Throughout my life, retrievers have been a big part of my life, most of my experience is with goldens and labs but i’ve walked and house sitted a variety of breeds.

“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!”


About: I previously worked at a small animal clinic. I have extensive experience working with small animals of all breeds/sizes/temperament/energy-level. I have cared for both senior dogs and pups. Experience administering oral medication. I mostly work full-time, but my hours are flexible. I am always available for morning/afternoon walks/jogs. I work through the university, therefore, I am available on holidays and weekends! I have a lot of experience caring for friends/ family pets. I am open to sitting in both my own home and clients home, all depending on client/pet comfort ability. I do not have any pets of my own, but I do have the supplies (bed,bowls,treats,poop bags,etc) ready for when they are needed!

“Valorie was great! She communicated with me well, sent pictures, and was honest. My pups seem led to have a good time :) Sh is so nice and genuine and took such great care of the house too.”


“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!”


“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.”


“Alyssa is great. I can always trust her to take care of my senior chihuahua. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy with your special doggos, I highly recommend her”


About: I have taken care of animals all of my life! I am a proud owner of two guinea pigs and have 3 dogs back at home. I also have experience with cats. I am an Animal Science major at UC Davis, so I am very passionate about all kinds of animals! I am a student at UC Davis taking one Summer class this summer so my schedule is flexible. I am available every single weekday as well as weekends. You can count on me to take the best care of your fur babies and treat them like they were my own. I am very communicative, good with directions, and responsible. If needed, my house has a fenced backyard that is great for playtime needs!

“Olivia was awesome! Thank you!”


About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs since 2009 with various experiences with my personal pets and many other family members pets. My uncle used to be a K9 police dog trainer and has many personal pets. Through him, i've been exposed to various sizes, mentalities, and activity limits. My experiences with big dogs like Great Danes and intelligent dogs like Belgian Malinois give me the confidence to handle any pets! I also have experienced dogs that can be easily spooked and might produce scary looking body language, allowing me to handle de-escalation while respecting the pet. Overall, I have seen all types of dogs and am equipped to give your pets a fun experience! I am currently working a day shift on UC Davis campus but can be available after 4:30pm on weekdays and anytime works on the weekends! I can take care of pets in a clients home by providing treats if allowed and using the environment of the clients home to entertain their pet. I won't be able to care for pets in my own because I don't have proper space, but I can walk them around the neighborhood!

“We got introduced to Esmerilda through a mutual connection and from the moment we met her we knew she’d be a great fit for our felines! As an aspiring veterinarian, Esmerilda has great attention to detail and is confident in handling pets with special needs or complicated medical demands. We had her house/pet sit for us for 10 days while we were out of the country and never once did we have a worry about how things were going. It’s great that we have found our best friends’ new best friend!”

I can do whatever is needed in order to care for your pets as well as follow any detailed instructions you may give me to ensure your pets well-being.

About: I am a veterinary student so I have a strong foundation in animal health and behavior, along with hands-on experience caring for pets with a wide range of needs. I'm trained to safely administer medications—whether oral, topical, or injectable—and I’m confident caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and support. I truly adore animals and I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Building trust with each animal is incredibly important to me, and I always take the time to learn their routines, quirks, and what makes them happiest. I care for pets around my class and study schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, consistent care—especially for drop-in visits or overnight stays.

I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering medications, going on familiar walking routes, or just spending quiet time with them. I always keep a clean, respectful presence in your home and make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well looked after.

“Elise would be a great sitter. She is playful with our dogs and is always welcomed by them when she visits. Their wagging tails and excitement to "go for a walk" is always a fun time. She brushes their fur and plays catch with them for long periods of time in-between cuddling and walks. Elise is great with dogs. She's been a friend to our fur-babies for.over almost 15 years. We have two dogs (Sequoia who turned 15 & Juniper who is 5 years old) who have benefited from the care and Love Elise has shown them. Thanks for your time. Woof! -Jaime”
