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.
“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.”
“Great experience with Jenna! She gives lots of detail in her updates and sends lots of nice pictures. She is very communicative and a good problem solver. I would definitely recommend her. Thank you Jenna!”
About: I have been taking care of my two dogs since I was 15 years old, a small Yorkshire poodle and a medium-sized schnauzer mix. Neighbors in my hometown of Los Angeles have also relied on me to care for their dogs and cats when they are away for holiday vacations. My experience includes taking care of a 16-year-old dog named Pasha for several days, as well as caring for multiple cats in different households. This included looking after a pair of cats in one home and administering anxiety medication to another cat over a five-day period. I am a student at UC Davis and have a flexible schedule between classes and extracurricular activities, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets. I am available throughout the day for walks, feeding, and check-ins, and I am also happy to help after classes, including longer visits or overnight stays if needed. I always ask clients for a list of responsibilities, so I know exactly what their pets need. I make sure to follow feeding schedules, spend time playing with and giving attention to the pets, and provide any care they require. I’m also happy to help keep the home tidy, like sweeping up leftover kitty litter, to make things easier for the owners.
“We hired Jessica for a long weekend while we were on vacation. Jessica went above and beyond for our two cats and sent lots of pictures! I would highly recommend her and definitely book again!”
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!
“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!”
“Carmen is the best. She took care of Nuomi so well followed all the instructions. (Oh and also did I mention that she takes awesome pics?) would ask her to take care of my pup again for sure!”
About: I’m a UC Davis Animal Science student on the pre-veterinary track with experience working as a veterinary assistant at multiple pet hospitals. I’m confident in handling dogs and cats if all sixes, breeds and temperaments. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Aside from classes I also work a part time job, and able to plan my schedule around walks, drop ins, feeding. I prioritize safety, trust, and a clam environment in both my home and my clients home. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I follow safe handling practices, and ensure the pet feels cared for and comfortable.
“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.”
“Dina did a fantastic job taking care of our cat. She was very responsive and a great communicator. We felt confident our cat was in good hands and reassured by the detailed notes/photos provided.”
“Can't recommend Esmerilda enough and would rebook with her without hesitation. She cared for my cats while away and provided the best, most detailed updates.EVER. Felt my furs might be in better hands with her........LOL! Seriously, she went absolutely above and beyond and even washed the dishes I had left, so completely unexpected and appreciated.”
About: I have trained a raised guide dogs for the blind. I have had dogs my whole life and have raised a couple on my own. I dog and cat sit all the time for family and friends. I am a second year college student at UC Davis majoring in Animals Science and do not have a job so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am able to watch your pets to make sure they are safe and well taken care of in your home! I am able to crate your pet or put them on a leash etc
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.
“Juliana was amazing for watching my cat! I would definitely recommend! I could tell from both the photos and the daily reports/summary that Juliana took care to make sure my cat was well taken care of and had enriching playtime each day. Her communication prior to booking and the meet and greet were also amazing so that I felt comfortable leaving my cat. Again, would highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Tenaya! I grew up around animals and now I have a cat named Gnocchi. I worked as a veterinary assistant for three years, so I'm comfortable with animals of all ages and I'm capable of administering medications. I can also take care of aggressive or anxious dogs, and I’m happy to help reinforce good behavior for pets in training. I also have experience taking care of a range of exotic animals from working at an animal sanctuary. As someone who works from home, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! I can usually adjust my work hours to make time for your pet and their needs. I can also generally accept same-day bookings, especially for drop in visits or walks. As someone who has worked with animals for several years, I understand that each pet is unique and may require special care and attention. I really love animals and will do my best to care for your pet as you would!

Willowbank pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.
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.
Nathaly was a wonderful sitter! She is very caring about our pets and was more than willing to accommodate my needs for my pets. I am very appreciative of her care and she kept wonderful company for both my pets throughout my trip away. Very attentive to my rabbit and my cat and would love to recommend her to future pet sitting seekers. Thanks again for your wonderful care.
Sierra is everything you could ask for in a sitter and more! She is thorough, caring, and responsible. I would trust her with my kitties any time. They all love her and that is a testament to her patience and warm energy. Everything I asked she did above and beyond and I’m so grateful to have found her!!
Elisha was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Simba and Sushi, followed all of my detailed instructions perfectly, and kept me updated regularly. Both kitties warmed up to her, and it was clear they received plenty of affection and attention during her visits. My home was well cared for and everything was perfect when I returned. I highly recommend Elisha and will definitely book her again!
