About: I am Cat and Dog First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross, Certified Pet Expert (CPS-DW), and an active member of Pet Sitters International (PSI). I am currently working on becoming a CPPS-Certified Professional Pet Sitter. Though I am new to pet sitting, I am constantly learning about pet care and safety. Having grown up with pets, I understand they become members of the family. I cared for my sister’s former miniature poodle Sandy and have grown up with various breeds like chihuahuas and a dachshund. Though I do not own pets anymore due to my lifestyle and living arrangements, I miss being around them. My friends told me about Rover and I jumped right in! I offer personalized care, including daily walks and playtime. I ensure your dog feels safe, loved, and well-cared for! As a Certified Pet Expert, I believe in using positive reinforcement instead of negative methods like e-collars or leash corrections, as they can harm trust and lead to aggression. While I'm not a dog trainer and won't suggest how to teach your dog, I'll happily follow your instructions and support your dog's training (: I work part-time and my availability changes weekly, so feel free to reach out for specific dates. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs whenever possible! While walking your pet, I ensure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, following their preferred pace and routine. I prioritize safety by keeping them on a leash and being mindful of their surroundings. For house sitting, I maintain your pet’s routine, providing meals, playtime, and cuddles. I make sure they feel secure and comfortable in their own home. I also handle light tasks like cleaning up after your pet, keeping the litter box tidy, and sending you regular updates on their well-being. Your pet will feel loved and well cared for while you're away!

“Excellent communication and so patient with my enthusiastic, energetic puppy! Lucy came home happy and tired after a 60 minute walk and play.”

“Holly made herself available a couple of times when I needed help unexpectedly. She responded quickly and Anika was well exercised after their walks.”

About: I have been in love with cats and small dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with 4 cats, 2 pigeons, a pittie mix, and 2 small dogs in my home, and immediately adopted my own cat once I moved out. I've been pet sitting across multiple platforms since I was 15. Your larger, active dog loves the fact that I am runner. Your cat and senior dogs love the way they can cuddle up to me while I'm constantly writing. I'm here for the quality time, and here because if I could adopt every cat and dog in the world, I absolutely would. I am excited to bond with your pet and make them feel like someone loving and familiar 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. One might say I'm obsessed with cats and dogs. I tend to bond easily with animals since my priority is keeping each pet comfortable in their own routine and home. Communication is huge for me - I care to pick up on your pet's cues. I have compassion for the signals, and know when to give space, and how to comfort. I love caring for small sensitive dogs. Small is not less to me. I'm small. I really care to coax them into feeling calm and safe.

About: My deep love for animals began at a young age, as my family and I fostered many different kinds of animals! I was a dedicated volunteer for SPCA for many years and have always had some kind of pet in my household! I am new to Rover but willing to learn everything there is about the app and your pet! Currently figuring out a position in the animal field! So right now, I am able to be around your fur animal throughout the day! I can easily adapt my routine to your pets needs. :) I have my own pup named Reus who is an 8 year old Pug! I love taking him out on adventures and walks. I make sure he gets the exercise he needs and all the love/care he deserves! Your pets’ safety and happiness are extremely important to me and I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for them! I am unable to board dogs in my current home but I am very respectful towards others homes and will follow any schedule you set!

About: Raised among animals in Costa Rica, I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds caring for each with love, including those with medical needs and special attention.

As someone who’s grown up with animals of all kinds, I bring real, hands-on experience to every pet I care for. I’ve had pets of all ages—puppies, seniors, and those needing daily medication—so I understand how to meet a wide range of needs with patience and love. During pet sitting, I stick closely to their routine, offer fresh food and water, regular walks, lots of affection, and a calm, clean environment. I also provide overnight care for pets that need extra comfort, and I’m experienced with dog bathing. I treat every animal like family—because that’s how I’ve always known to care.

About: Hi! I am a recent graduate of UC Davis School of Law. I have extensive experience with farm animals and pets. Very flexible and excited to spend time with dogs! I am very responsible, I maintain a tidy and smoke-free home, pet safe and with plenty of yard space for walks, as well as a nearby dog-friendly park. I am relaxed and prepared to handle excitable and semi-trained puppies, as well as dogs with specific or extensive medication requirements, along with any special exercise requirements your pet may have.

I provide photos/videos of any pets hosted as requested by the owner, including daily updates including their meals, any significant events, and any change in behavior.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep-rooted experience and upbringing, being raised by two highly successful veterinarians. From a young age, I was exposed to a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, and fish, which gave me a diverse understanding of animal care. By age 10, I was already helping with feeding, walking, and cleaning up after the animals. My passion for animals led me to start my own pet sitting business at age 16, where I've built strong, trusting relationships with clients over the years. From caring for playful kittens of four months old to providing special senior care for dogs, I’m confident in my ability to care for animals with varying needs. I am currently working a part-time job in Davis, so I will have plenty of time to tend to the needs of your animal(s). My current schedule mostly has me working during the weekends and allows for lots of availability during the week. I take pride in following specific instructions to ensure a positive and comfortable environment for each animal. My problem-solving skills and ability to communicate effectively with owners in unexpected situations are key strengths I bring to my work.

About: I have my own senior dog at home that doesn't do well with children or big dogs, so I know how important it is to pay attention when caring for a reactive dog. Currently, I'm a PhD candidate in ecology working with lizards and other wildlife. I got my BS in Animal Science at Cal Poly and completed all of the pre-veterinary requirements, although I ultimately fell in love with the research path instead. I've always been very observant and good at anticipating what my own pets need to be comfortable and happy and I'd love to help your pet feel more relaxed while you're gone. I'm currently a graduate student with a fairly flexible schedule, since I work from home when I'm not teaching to spend time with my own needy dog. I won't be offering boarding, as my own dog isn't the most social with other dogs. I'm happy to visit your home or take your dog on walks around the neighborhood.

About: I've had all types of animals ever since I was small. During the past years, I’ve had a whole barn of dogs, cats, birds, chinchillas, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I Currently I have 5 dogs, a guinea pig, a bird and a cat back home. I feed and bathe all my dogs. I even help my chihuahua give birth twice. I am experienced with raising pups and looking after them. I even looked after my neighbor's Pitbull for 2 weeks, so I am experienced with all sizes of dogs and cats. I will care for animals like I care after mine. I am experienced with caring after elderly animals as well and know how to administer medication. I am patient with gaining an animals trust and love. I know how to train pups as well. Your furry friend will enjoy their day or stay with me because I will be their new best friend. I have a flexible schedule, including holidays. So take that vacation and book your next dog/cat stay with me. I have a flexible schedule, even during the holidays. I am also willing to work around your schedule as well if needed. I dedicate myself full time taking care of animals. Your baby will have access to fresh water and food at all times. They will also have fun during walks under the nice warm sun and fun/cozy over night stays with me:)! So book that vacation or get away and book your dogs/cat stay with me. I do have a small park next to me, so I am able to walk your baby around for potty, some fresh air, and to have some fun time. I am available to crate your pup if needed. I don't have a fenced yarn, but I will protect your furry friend at all costs. My neighborhood is pet friendly!!! I am a responsible and will love your furry friend as one of my own.

About: I have babysat my family member’s pets for years now. I love animals, I have 2 dogs of my own who I love dearly. Unfortunately they do not live with me at the moment since I moved to Davis from school. So i find comfort in all the pets that I take care of :) My Chihuahua is 12 years olds and my Pomeranian mix is 3 years old. I had taken in my Pomeranian mix puppy from someone I know because they couldn’t care for her like she should be and have had her for a year now. Animals have a special place in my heart and I would love to care and love all of them like I’ve known them for years. We can workout a schedule and I could go around what your schedule is like. I do have another job, but I will always be willing to figure things out to helps with both our schedules. I take my pets on walks or adventure to the lake or the park. I feed them 3 times a day and play with them whenever they want to. Right now they currently don’t live with me because I moved down here for school, but that is their usually routine at home. For my clients I do pop in and out to feed and take out their pets and babysit them whenever they are out of town or busy. I make sure the pets are happy and healthy when I check up on them.

“Hannah is easy to communicate, punctual, and friendly. My dog enjoyed the walk with her!”
