About: I have been taking care of animals since before I could remember. I also have had a variety of different animals in my care such as dogs, cats, snakes, bearded dragons, and leopard geckos. I also worked at a pet store for a few months last year. I am striving to work part time this summer! I would most likely be available for entire days but less available on the weekends. Once I have a cement schedule in place I will update :) I treat all animals like a parent would a baby!

About: Animals have always been a strong love of mine. Not only have I been a dog owner from the age of 3 and own 6 furbabies of my own, I have also been a horse owner, avid equestrian, and a 4H sheep owner that won Reserve Grand Champion 2 consecutive years showing them at the Kern County Fair. Providing the same love and care to your pets as I do my own is my top priority. Our pup’s didn’t earn the nickname of Man’s Best Friend out of nowhere and they deserve to be cherished, even when you need time away from home. I have experience in all ages and conditions including but not limited to: -New pups -Old pups -Blind pups -Diabetic pups I currently work full-time as a medical scribe with the goal of becoming a Physician Assistant. The great part? My workday starts early and ends early, leaving me with the perfect early morning, afternoon, and evening hours to dedicate to pet care. Daily walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles all fit smoothly into my routine, and I love having that quality time with pets after a busy morning. Weekends are even more flexible, which allows for longer stays, extra play, or extended house sitting when needed. Caring for animals brings a great balance to my week—and a lot of joy too! I treat your space with the same respect I treat my own. I keep things tidy, follow all routines to the letter, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I keep you updated with daily pics, videos, and little notes on how your pup is doing! When walking, I’m big on safety—leash rules, paw checks, water breaks, and always watching for dog’s body language. My goal is a happy, tired, and content pet after every visit.

About: I’ve had at least 5 years of experience sitting for friends and family. I’m going to college and studying to be a Veterinarian. I volunteer at Kern County animal shelter, and my main task is cleaning puppy cages, so I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I am a college student at CSUB, studying to be a veterinarian. During the Summer, I have a lot of free time while still maintaining good availability during the school year. Even if I have classes, I would still be able to check on an animal every day. I make sure to remove anything that could potentially harm an animal (Sago Palm for cats) and if they enjoy going outside, to always have them on a leash and in my sight.

“Rover (Andy) did such a great with all of our pets. Our elderly dog, Dutchess, took well to him and trusted him and she followed him around the house. Andy also did great with our cats, he even made friends with one of our shyest cats, Nyxie. We highly recommend him and would definitely use him again. Thank you, Andy.”
