“Kelly has house sat for us and our two dogs twice over the last month. She did a wonderful job with our dogs and took great care of our house. She is very quick to respond when I have reached out to her. She does a great job.”

“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!”

“Savannah exceeded our expectations. Our 3 puppies were so happy with her and fell in love. I got to come home to my puppies who had no anxiety. Can’t wait for her to hang out with them again!”

“Sidney was a HUGE help. We needed a house sitter last minute and she responded quickly and was willing to do a meet and greet in advance for our peace of mind. We were out of state so it was very important we had updates and communication. Sidney went above and beyond to provide photos, videos and constant reassurance of how things were going. She respected our house rules and asked for permission before anything. We appreciated her greatly and are now rebooking her moving forward🤗”

About: I studied to be come a vet assistant at high dessert medical college, where I also took an extern ship with task that included, helping take care of animals for boarding, injured animals, and animals before and after surgeries. I have skill with proper animal care and proper husbandry. I am currently working part time at the blvd so they won’t be alone for more then an 8hour shift and I only work one 8hr shift a week so ill be home most of the time when pets are in my care I will allow pets full access to my room and living room (I do have young siblings in my house so I would keep pets in my room if the kids are being to rough) while taking them on walks during the day and night or as needed I’ll feed them to owner preference along with 24/7 access to plenty of water I do understand I have a small apartment but I live close to a park with a dog area to take them for few hours twice a day while it is fresh outside unless otherwise specified by owner.
“Tatiana was awesome. She was very communicative and detailed and my boys, who don't usually care too much for strangers, absolutely loved her. 10/10 can't recommend her enough.”

Her communication throughout the stay gave us so much peace of mind. We would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust.”

About: With 10years on hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, I understand that pets are family. Consistency, structure and emotional awareness are at the core of how I care for every dog entrusted in me. I’m currently disposed from Monday-Friday until 5pm. I will make myself available any time after that as needed and will work with any schedule on the weekends. I offer structured, purposeful walks. I am attentive when handling your furry ones. I do not disrupt the cleanliness and respect your home and your routine. I am dependable, discreet service you can trust.
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.

About: Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just being near a human at all times, I adapt to what makes them happiest. With a medical background, I’m especially attentive to instructions, medications, and changes in behavior—nothing gets overlooked. I offer pet care Friday through Sunday, which allows me to be fully present and consistent during those days. Since I work full-time during the week, I intentionally limit my availability so pets receive calm, unhurried, and reliable care, never rushed or overbooked. I care for pets in their home by sticking closely to their routine—meals on time, walks as expected, litter boxes clean, and plenty of attention based on their personality. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or just supervising me from across the room, I meet them where they’re at.
“Since the first time Miranda took care of my dogs I knew I was going to rebook! She’s such a great sitter, keeps me updated on everything, and my babies are in love with her! I don’t worry about a thing when I’m gone thanks to her!”

About: I’ve looked after pets since I was about 10 years old. I have experience with senior care, grooming, sitting and much more. Taking care of animals is one of my favorite responsibilities, and hopefully I can take care of yours too! I am a current part-time university student, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets! Week days I can work anytime around my course schedule. I will take care of your pets while respecting the boundaries of your home, making sure your animals are safe and well while you’re away.
About: I've had the Opportunity to love on and take care of other's Dogs since I was 11! Many Family members, Friends, and Neighbors have allowed me to feed, play with, administer medecine to, bathe, and walk their Dogs and Puppies!! I absolutely love doing it! I'm currently working most evening but im still open and available to be as hands for Dog and Cat sitting, walking, play time, and whatever else you need!! I am extremely attentive to Dogs when they're outside playing, I make sure they never eat anything that could be damaging to their health. I walk my Dogs often and can walk yours as often as requested. I can Crate your dog if needed. I pay attention to and play with cats and regularly check on and maintaine Animals Food/Water levels and Litterbox and Dog Poop levels outside.
