12. Andy M.
“Andy is wonderfully reliable. I love the fact that he is a Veterinary Assistant who can identify my fur baby's needs. He shares his experiences and helps me improve my fur baby's behavior. 100% recommended!”


13. Maritza B.
“This lady is great! I have used her a few times but the I'll tell about the 1st visit. I was gone for the weekend and had nobody to watch my 110lb pit bull. Most people are intimidated by his appearance, energy, and strength. She handled him very well & was very responsible with learning his trained commands and very attentive to him. He absolutely loves her presence. The pup actually whined at the door when she left. He is always excited to see her whenever I need a sitter for him now. This lady is very reliable, & trustworthy. Absolutely worth the $$ if your in search for someone. I don't trust my home or my fur baby with very many people, but I can trust both with her.”

“Cynthia is an amazing sitter. She has more knowledge especially since she is a Veterinary Assistant. I can rely on her to make sure my fur baby is safe and well taken cared of. I highly recommend her!”


15. Eliza G.
About: I have been a reliable dog sitter and house sitter for nearly a decade. Previously, I was also a frequent foster provider for dogs from the Bakersfield animal shelter. I have an energetic but well trained Australian Shepherd with whom I stay very active, as well as a yard with ample space for dogs to run and play. I currently work part-time, leaving me ample time to spend with your pup. My partner also works primarily from home, ensuring quality care and attention given to your furry friend. I put a strong emphasis on enrichment activities and helping the dogs stay active. I have a lot of experience in helping dogs to adjust to new environments, and I work hard to make your dog feel safe and comfortable.
