House Sitting in Bakersfield

“If this had an option for a TEN star rating, Joshua would get it! Seriously, Hubby and I had to go out of town for 2 days and we have 2 German Shepherds. They are my service dogs. I stress out every time we have to go out of town (hubby is a performer so it's monthly). This is the FIRST time I did NOT have anxiety about my doggies while out of town! Joshua is true to his word when he says he gives doggy owners "Peace of mind". During meet & greet my babies LOVED him. He sent us updates, videos and checked in often. He also went above and beyond, cleaned the dishes I left in the sink (we were in a panic getting ready for a big show -I forgot to do them), brought in the mail, took the trash can out and back in, let the gardeners in. We were running late coming home but he stayed. Joshua also left the sweetest note for us. It included a daily check list he made to ensure our doggies Angel and Bear had the best care and he made sure Angel took her pills. Thank you Joshua! Ronnie and I just love you, oh as you know so do our babies. Tammy”

“Crystal has been taking care of my sweet kitty, Anabel for the past several work and personal trips. She does such an amazing job and i am so grateful to know that my baby is well taken care of. Crystal is great at keeping me updated and sending photos so i know what’s going on at home. I highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!”

“Ashlyn has watched my three dogs (2 German Shepherds and 1 Queensland), and she did a great job. Our dogs love Ashlyn, and they were well taken care of. During our week long trip away, we did not have to worry about our dogs, we knew Ashlyn would take great care of them. Ashlyn made sure our dogs were played with, fed, and had water. I would definitely recommend Ashlyn for being a dogsitter.”

“Kayla was perfect. She was respectful of our home and very loving and caring towards our pets. I received daily pictures with updates and came home to a clean house. Will recommend her to friends and family!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Kelsey! She cared for my two senior dogs, Ned and Iris, both 17 years old, for 4 nights. As soon as I met Kelsey I knew she loved animals, and I could tell by the questions she was asking and her demeanor that she was very smart and responsible. Although my dogs had obvious needs relating to their age (mobility difficulties, needing to be fed by hand, etc.,) Kelsey was confident that she could take good care of them. Kelsey also graciously accommodated a change in the dates we agreed on when I needed to extend my stay, which was much appreciated. Two days before the reservation, one of my dogs was put on 6 different medications due to an eye injury. I was so worried that Kelsey might not (understandably) want to go through with the reservation given the drastic change in the amount of care that he needed. The medication schedule was really complicated, and “around the clock” is an understatement. To add to that, the eye injury was unstable and Kelsey understood that she might need to take my dog to a veterinarian should the eye deteriorate. Again, Kelsey accepted the change of plans and didn’t shy away from the challenge. She took such detailed notes of my dog’s complicated medication schedule and sent me as many updates on him as I wanted. Fortunately the eye didn’t get worse while she was there, but I have no doubt that if it did she would have sought medical treatment for him without hesitation. When I returned home it was so easy to resume his meds because of how responsible she handled everything. I could tell that she took very good care of my best friends, and she really went above and beyond. I highly, highly recommend Kelsey, and my family and I are so truly grateful for her.”

“Angel is a reliable and understanding pet sitter. She was ready for anything and was super supportive when we had to change start and end times due to family emergencies. We are looking forward to booking her again!”

“Allison went above and beyond with both house sitting and dog sitting. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups and our home!”

“Grace did a fantastic job house sitting and looking after our two fur babies. She kept us informed with lots of photos, and followed numerous directions perfectly. Trusting a stranger to come stay in your home, and ensuring your pets’ safety, takes a big leap of faith. Grace did not disappoint; she is very responsible and I highly recommend her!”

“Jade was great and very responsive. She sent several pictures of my pups and gave them a lot of attention and pup cups! I would definitely recommend her to others!”

“Sidney is absolutely wonderful. She was willing to step up in odd circumstances, and she was so gentle with my pup. I can't overstate just how good at this she is. Great attention to detail & a great personality to accompany it.”
