“I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties in Jaden’s care after our meet and greet! She was always quick to respond. It was clear from the photos that my cats felt extremely comfortable with her. Will definitely be rebooking her!”

About: I've taken care of family and friends pets for around 6 years. All different breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs. I personally have always had cats. I will always make sure your fur-babies are taken care of. I am currently on summer break. So I am available for any hours of the day and all seven days of the week. So I am available to check on your pet a few times day, if needed. I do not offer for pets to come to my house. But I will treat your fur-babies like my own. I will make sure your pet is safe, clean, and well taken care of.

“Kelly is the best! She has been so helpful and supportive. She’s great at communicating with me, flexible, and always willing to help when needed. She’s attentive to my animals needs and detail orientated. Both my dog and cat both love her! I’m so glad I found a reliable person to take care of my kiddos when needed.”

“Super friendly, I like that we did a meet and greet before hand that way our dogs get a sense and they loved you. Thank you so much for coming and taking care of our fur babies.”

“First time using rover and Haley went above and beyond expectations to make us feel at ease leaving our cats alone while we visited family. The process was easy and fast, would definitely go through Haley again! We got wonderful pictures of our cats as well. We could not be happier with your service!”

“This was my first time using this app and also my first time leaving my cats and house in the hands of a stranger... yet I couldn't be happier about the decision I made to hire Katrina to take care of everything. She followed my checklist perfectly and even went above and beyond during her drop in visits with my 2 cats. Her daily updates and pictures made me feel certain that my girls were happy and that things back home were totally safe under control while I was away. I hope to book her again in the future, and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs ?????”

I have my own mini goldendoodle who I have been taking care of for almost 10 years and really love taking care and spending time with a wide variety of pets!

“Glenda took phenomenal care of our Maya. She stopped by before the first visit just to get to know Maya a bit… we came home a few days later to a happy, calm and relaxed Belgian Malinois. This is a big deal! She’s a natural dog whisperer, trustworthy and prompt. Thank you, Glenda!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and I’ve always been a dog person. Currently, I have three dogs. I have experience with every size and age of dog. My youngest is 8 months and my oldest is 12 years old. Other than my own dogs, I often watch my family’s and friends’. I would absolutely love to care for your babies! I currently have a flexible schedule. I am available most weekends and weekdays. I’m happy to work with you when you need extra help! I trained all my dogs on walking etiquette. If you need help with that I am more than happy to take the time to do so. In regards to pet sitting, I will communicate with you how you want your dog spending its time in my care. Whether it’s exercise, training, or just feeding and taking them outside, you can count on me.

“Samantha was a very responsible pet sitter. She always responded my messages and sent pictures of my cat Mishu. I’ll contact her again for sure! I think Mishu is getting used to be around her :) That’s so sweet. Thanks for everything Samantha”

About: I have extensive experience with fostering and rescue work. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and special needs, helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Working with rescue animals has taught me patience, compassion, and how to understand each dog’s unique personality. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a calm, caring environment where they can thrive while you’re away.” Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide attentive, personalized care for your pup. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. When boarding in my home, your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and supervised care throughout the day. Dogs enjoy two daily walks of at least 20 minutes each, along with time to play, explore, and relax in my securely fenced yard.

“Nalani was very friendly to me and my dogs. They liked her immediately. She always showed up on time and took great care of them, giving meds to my older dog. Both dogs were in good spirits when we got home.”

“Our cat is a senior gentleman and needed a little extra attention and two visits per day. Olivia was reliable with great communication, and we felt totally comfortable with her in charge of our kitty's care. Great pet-sitter, and we'd definitely use her again!”

Patrick D.

“Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, I'm Darron, but most people know me as Dingo. For most of my life I've been guiding people through outdoor adventures. From whitewater rafting on the Kern River to exploring the backroads and trails of Kern County, helping others experience the outdoors has always been my passion. Today, I bring that same passion to dogs. I founded Dingo's Wild Side because I believe most dogs need more than a walk around the block. They need opportunities to run, sniff, explore, problem solve, and experience the world the way dogs were designed to. Every adventure is built around safety, enrichment, and fun. Whether your dog joins a small pack hike or enjoys a one-on-one solo adventure, my goal is simple: Send them home tired, fulfilled, and smiling. What Makes Me Different Small Pack Sizes I intentionally keep groups small so every dog receives personal attention. Real Outdoor Adventures These aren't neighborhood walks. Dogs explore ranches, trails, river corridors, parks, and natural areas throughout Kern County. Adventure With Purpose Every outing provides: Physical exercise Mental stimulation Confidence building Socialization Environmental enrichment Safety First Every adventure is carefully planned around weather, terrain, group dynamics, and each dog's individual needs. My Experience Hundreds of dog adventures completed Professional outdoor guide background Experienced with large and high-energy breeds Comfortable with multi-dog management Experienced with reactive and shy dogs Strong understanding of canine behavior and body language When your dog joins me for an adventure, you can expect: Safe transportation Careful pack management Plenty of exercise Fresh air and exploration Photo updates Clear communication Most importantly, your dog will have an experience that goes beyond a typical walk. My Promise I treat every dog like an individual. Some dogs need miles of hiking. Some need confidence. Some simply need a chance to get outside and be a dog. My job is to figure out what your dog needs and help them thrive. Caring for dogs isn't something I do on weekends—it's my full-time career. I've built my life around helping dogs stay active, engaged, and happy through safe, enriching outdoor adventures. I love dogs, and I take the responsibility of caring for them seriously. Welcome to a full acre of dog heaven. Plenty of room to run, plenty of friends to play with, and endless attention from someone who truly loves dogs. Dingo's Wild Side was built with your dog's happiness, safety, and enrichment in mind. From the moment they arrive until the moment they head home, they'll be treated like a valued member of our extended family. With years of experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I make it my mission to provide more than just supervision. Your dog will enjoy exercise, socialization, mental stimulation, and real outdoor adventure. Grooming services can even be arranged during their stay, making pickup easy and convenient. Every dog deserves excitement, challenge, and the opportunity to simply be a dog—and that's exactly what they'll find here.

“Marci was incredible with our girl Eris. It was very clear from the pictures that our girl LOVED spending time with Marci. We will absolutely book her again when we have another trip!”

About: Hi! Hello. I’m B, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. Growing up in a home that always had dogs (usually more than a few!), I’ve learned how to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC. Whether your dog loves tennis balls, belly rubs, or just lounging in the sun, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. They’ll love our crew. I’m a stay at home dad, so my schedule is pretty flexible for you and your pup. They will get all the care and nurture they need, and be honest, you expect. Pets in my care become part of the family! I have two friendly dogs who love making new friends, plus a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I also have kids, so your pup will get plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. We’re just a short walk from River.

About: I focus on giving each dog consistent attention, patience, and a calm environment so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow care instructions exactly, keep routines consistent, and communicate clearly with daily updates and photos. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s behavior and energy level, making sure they get the right balance of play, rest, and care while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine in a very consistent and flexible way. I naturally build my schedule around reliability and attention to detail, so I’m used to checking in on responsibilities throughout the day rather than letting things pile up. On a daily basis, I can dedicate time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and any needed check-ins on weekends. Evenings during the week. I’m good at adjusting my schedule to match the pet’s routine, whether that means early morning walks or evening drop-ins. On a weekly level, I plan ahead so I can make sure I’m available for longer care periods like overnights or multiple visits per day. I’m also comfortable being consistent with routines like medication schedules, exercise, and keeping the pet’s environment clean and safe. Overall, I treat pet care like a real responsibility, not something I “fit in” when convenient I structure my time around it to make sure the pet stays comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping the pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow the instructions exactly as provided feeding schedule, portion sizes, walk times, medication (if any), and any specific behavior or care notes about the pet. For daily care, I make sure the pet gets attention, exercise, and interaction, not just basic needs. That can include walks, playtime, accidents if needed, refreshing water, and making sure the home is kept tidy and secure while I’m there. I’m also careful about safety double checking doors, gates, leashes, and making sure pets don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I pay attention to how the pet is acting so I can notice any changes in mood, appetite, or behavior and communicate that right away if something seems off. I don’t just “stop by and do tasks” I treat it like I’m temporarily responsible for the pet’s wellbeing and comfort, and I make sure they feel calm and cared for while their owner is away.

About: I have always had a dog but I can only attest to caring for those I’ve raised. I’ve raised two labs and a huskie pittie. I currently have a young 1 year old male lab who loves a great play session with another doggy friend. I’ve often dog cat overnight and it gives my pets great socialization opportunities. I currently work full time from home from 8am to 5pm. My dog is routinely walked 1 hours a day with several enticing activities through out my work day. On the weekend I like to take him to the park and hiking if there is no playdate scheduled. I have a fenced yard and the most social dog to keep them company. Plenty of toys and treats. I have two different sized crates and fenced areas to give my cats space when new dogs are visiting.
