“Whitney is so kind and loving! She helped provide last minute doggy daycare for my pup. She is very fast and consistent with communication providing lots of great pictures! I would definitely trust and recommend Whitney.”


“Dominie took good care of our baby boy. She sent updates with pictures throughout his stay. We had peace of mind knowing he was in goods hands 😊 we will be hiring Dominie again!!”


“Shanna is great. She has been patient and collaborative in planning for my Roxie's care. We had a meet and greet, then a short daycare stay, then a full day of daycare. She is well versed in dog behavior. My dog, coincidentally a "pitbull type" is often categorized and judged as "vicious or aggressive" even before people meet her. I've had dog sitters on Rover decline to provide services simply because of her breed or her appearance. Shanna understands that Roxie is a dog: a dog with her own level of prey drive (so Roxie is not allowed in her daughter's room cause of the hamster she has); a dog with some anxiety who barked at her husband when he came into the house. They didn't freak out. Shanna understood Roxie's behavior and worked through it, allowing Roxie to get to know her husband, settle and move on. I truly appreciate her family's openness and acceptance. We have two more full days of daycare booked and if all continues well, we will book boarding services. Roxie is people and dog friendly, but the discrimination we have experienced on Rover, leads me to take things in a new daycare/boarding situation slowly. Shanna has been very reassuring and understanding. throughout the process. I HIGHLY recommend her.”


“Heidi is such a blessing and a gift to have as a dog sitter for my Roxy. Roxy is very attached to me and shy in new circumstances. Heidi warmed her over almost immediately and Roxy has stayed with Heidi 3-4 times a week for months. Heidi takes excellent care of her, takes her for walks, lets her swim in her pool, and sends great photos and updates throughout my 12 hour work shifts, which I greatly appreciate! Roxy is excited to see Heidi every time, and I always feel the feeling is mutual. My fears of leaving my dog with a new person were almost immediately squashed when I met Heidi and now Roxy and I love her dearly. Thank you Heidi for all that you have done!!!”



“The best!!! Wilson has such a good time when he comes home all he wants is dinner and then to go to sleep. All tuckered out after a day of play. Jill and Liz LOVE dogs and go the extra mile to ensure they are engaged and have a great time. Dog craft/art projects! Toys galore, and a huge dog friendly yard.”

About: Hi! I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for my best friend’s large dogs for years while she’s away on business trips sometimes for up to two weeks at a time. I absolutely love being around dogs and enjoy every part of their care, from feeding and walking to cozy snuggles on the couch. After years of caring for dogs, I decided to join Rover as a side passion. I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with two on-site dog parks, which are perfect for playtime and exercise. I take dogs out for walks 3 to 4 times a day and always make sure to clean up after them — we have convenient poop bag stations throughout the community. While I don’t have dogs of my own right now, I treat every pup like family. I welcome overnight bookings, and your dog is more than welcome to relax on the couch. There are no restrictions here when it comes to comfort and cuddles. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and give them all the love and attention they deserve! As a full-time stay-at-home mom of three boys, I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent care and attention to your dog. I typically take dogs out 3–4 times a day and can easily adjust walks or potty breaks to fit your pup’s needs. Whether it’s weekdays, weekends or extended stays, I’m flexible and reliable. Your dog will be in a safe, attentive, and family-friendly environment while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, supervised environment where dogs can feel at home. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to keep a close eye on your pup and give them plenty of attention, bathroom breaks, and playtime. My apartment is pet-friendly with secure areas for walking and play. We have two on-site dog parks and designated pet waste stations, which makes daily outings clean and convenient. Inside, dogs are welcome on the couch and are never confined unless requested by the owner. I’m experienced with large breeds and understand how to manage dogs with different energy levels and personalities. I also keep communication open with pet parents, sending updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You can trust that your dog will be treated like family in a safe, clean, and loving environment.

About: I am a Fear Free certified veterinary technician of 13 years who grew up in the show dog world (AKC) before getting into rescue as an adult. Throughout my long-lived animal career I have participated in puppy/kitten/basic obedience training, behavioral rehabilitation, dog sport training, senior care, care for animals with extreme medical needs, and owned/operated a group play doggie daycare. My jobs, hobbies, and passions are all centered around animals and I can't wait to bring that passion to you! I am home full-time, and available for puppies and animals with heavy needs. I have a fairly set schedule for all of the pets in my care, and that level of routine provides comfort to even the most nervous of pups. I am the only Fear Free pet carer in Bakersfield! I provide comforting classical music as well as calming pheromones in the sleeping spaces to make their stay as stress-free as possible. I have a fenced yard and never leave dogs together unsupervised. I do not provide an environment suitable for animals with a history of dog aggression. Small dogs I can be more flexible with, as their attitude usually comes from a place of fear and that is something I can work with for the little guys.

“Jess was an amazing pet sitter!!! For being a last minute appointment he was amazing. Left Luna with him just for three hours but in those three hours he sent me updates with pictures. When at time for pick up Jess knew we were driving for three hours he gave Luna an extra water for the road. Will definitely be using him again.”


“Veronica is really kind and gentle to my dog that is extremely anxious and whiny. The rover card was updated and photos were uploaded as well. And it was a bit chilly and she gave my dog a nice sweater to go home with.”


“We were very happy with Kharlee! It was a short notice booking and she as very accommodating. We got several pictures throughout the day and 1 video! Very happy Thank you Kharlee”


About: For over 15 years, I have been a dedicated pet owner. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including birds, cats, dogs, and reptiles. My schedule is wide open since I work from home, and so does my husband. That means your dog will have constant care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, or just reassuring presence, we're here to provide a loving and safe environment with plenty of one-on-one time. We have a big fenced and structured yard giving your dog plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely. Whether they love zoomies, sunbathing, or just sniffing around, they'll have the freedom to enjoy the outdoors while staying safe. With constant supervision and lots of playtime, your dog will have a fun and enriching experience.

“I had a great experience with Adriana today. This was my dog first experience in a day care and I was worried. Adriana send me pictures and videos during my doggy care and I felt better. I will recommend Adriana with my friends.”

About: What truly sets my pet sitting services apart from other sitter is not just providing basic care, but going above and beyond to ensure their pets are happy, healthy, and secure weather its in my house or their house. They need to feel comfortable at all time. I also take the time to understand each pet's individual personality, quirks, and specific needs, ensuring they feel safe, and genuinely cared for in their own environment. As for senior pets, I am aware they need more help with administering medication and mobility issues. Im currently working a part-time job as a babysitter so I have plenty of time in the mornings. I can also work during the night for those who go out of town and need someone to watch over their pet. Im also fixable over the weekends. I'm here to provide consistent, trustworthy service so you can relax knowing your companion is in good hands.I understand how much you care about your pet, and I'm committed to providing a safe and joyful experience for them.

Jeanette V.
“I can’t recommend my mom enough as a dog sitter. She has a natural way with animals—kind, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I’ve grown up with pets my entire life because of her, and she’s the one who taught me how to care for them with love, patience, and respect. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even the occasional rescue, she made sure every animal in our home was not only cared for but truly loved. She’s also one of the cleanest and most organized people I know, which makes a big difference when someone is trusting you with their home and their pets. She pays attention to every detail—making sure dogs are fed on time, walked regularly, and given plenty of affection and playtime. She treats every pet like they’re part of the family, because to her, they are. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and experienced to care for your dog, my mom is the perfect choice. Your pup will be in the best hands.”
