Barbara is currently sitting for my dogs, I am still out of town. I will leave another review once I am home. I am trying to figure out how to leave a tip, because she goes way above and beyond. For all of the work and help she is doing for my dogs while I am gone is incredible, so I just want to throw her a tip because she more than deserves it.

Callie was absolutely phenomenal with our babies while we were on vacation for a week! We all looked forward to the photos and comments she’d leave every day. So thankful to have had such peace of mind that all was well back at home thanks to Callie! We will definitely be rebooking her in the future!!!

I had the best first experience using the Rover app all because of Kayla. Her calm demeanor made my dogs and cats trust her almost immediately. She was incredibly thorough through the first initial visit and knew all the right questions to ask if I missed something. I will absolutely be rebooking with her. Incredibly happy that I have a trustworthy babysitter because that’s what she is. An incredible babysitter for my fur babies!

About: Do you want your dog to live a longer, healthier, and happier life? That's exactly what I’m here to help with. I'm Matthew, a dedicated USMC veteran and passionate animal lover, and I specialize in providing high-quality pet care that goes beyond the basics. With a lifetime of experience caring for animals, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I’ve rescued three wonderful cats—Luna, Jack, and Pepper—from a heavy equipment yard, and turned them into loving, confident companions. My experience extends to dogs as well. I offer a unique approach that combines fitness, discipline, and plenty of love to ensure your dog thrives. **What I Offer:** 1. **Fitness-Focused Dog Walks:** I believe in enriching a dog's life through regular exercise. I provide daily walks and run sessions 2-3 times a week, tailored to your dog’s energy level and fitness needs. Let's get your dog on a fitness plan that not only keeps them active but also adds years to their life. 2. **Expert Care and Attention:** My mornings are filled with engaging activities—I take my cats on walks and have a special routine calling out to two beautiful black cats who have become a part of my daily life. I’ve successfully trained two large, previously aggressive dogs to be friendly around cats, demonstrating my ability to manage and care for pets with different temperaments. 3. **Holistic Approach:** Raised on a small farm, I’ve cared for animals of all kinds—pygmy goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, and more. This experience has taught me the value of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, all of which I bring to my pet care services. Whether your pet needs a gentle walk, a vigorous run, or just some loving attention, I provide a balanced approach that meets their unique needs. **Why Choose Me?** - **Reliable and Trustworthy:** As a USMC veteran, I bring discipline, commitment, and a strong sense of duty to every task. Your pets are in safe, capable hands. - **Passion for Animals:** My lifelong love for animals means I treat every pet as if they were my own. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities. - **Customized Care Plans:** I tailor every walk and exercise session to fit your dog’s specific needs, ensuring they get the most out of every outing. **Ready to Enrich Your Dog’s Life?** Let's create a fitness plan that keeps your dog active, healthy, and excited for each day. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and has the skills to keep your pet happy and well-exercised, look no further. Contact me today to schedule a walk, and let’s give your dog the best life they deserve! As a full-time pet care professional, I am committed to providing exceptional care for your pets, ensuring they receive the attention and love they deserve. Here’s my availability: - **Full-Time Availability**: I am available throughout the week, Monday to Sunday, to accommodate your pet care needs. - **Flexible Schedule**: My schedule is flexible, allowing me to offer early morning, daytime, and evening visits. - **Last-Minute Requests**: I understand that plans can change unexpectedly. While I prioritize scheduled visits, I am also prepared to handle last-minute requests when needed. With my dedicated and reliable service, you can trust that your pets will be in good hands. Let’s work together to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. As a dedicated pet care professional, I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of your pets while caring for them in your home. Here’s how I ensure top-notch care: 1. **Respect and Professionalism**: I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring it is well-maintained and secure while you’re away. I follow your specific instructions and routines to ensure continuity for your pets. 2. **Customized Care**: Each pet is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s administering medications, special dietary requirements, or extra playtime, I ensure your pets receive personalized attention. 3. **Safety First**: I conduct thorough checks to ensure all doors and windows are secure, and I monitor the environment to prevent any potential hazards. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. 4. **Communication and Updates**: I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep you informed about your pet’s well-being. This ensures peace of mind, knowing that your pets are happy and well-cared for. 5. **Trust and Reliability**: Many neighbors and clients have entrusted me with their homes and pets, confident in my ability to provide exceptional care. I am known for my honesty and dependability. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and enriching environment for your pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in your absence. Let’s work together to give your furry family members the best care possible.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I mostly grew up around German Shepards and miniature Dobermans. I have two dogs of my own named Milo and Bear. I adopted Milo when he was a little less than a year from the pound. I got Bear just 6 months later from someone who couldn’t keep him. I love dogs and want to help take care of your pets! I am a stay at home mom and I also work from home. Working from home gives me flexibility to be able to be there for your pets. In my home or your home your pets safety and well being is my top priority. I will treat your pets with the same love l treat mine with. I believe pictures and videos are important to provide to show you how your pet is doing. I also send updates about your pets like what they’ve been up to and if I have concerns I definitely would let you know. I do live in a one bedroom apartment but I have a front yard I can take your dogs out for fresh air and to use the bathroom.

Haylee was great and very understanding of my situation with my dog who can be wary of new people. She took the time to get to know my dog and went at her pace. Haylee was also very receptive to my instructions for interacting with my dog (for everyone's comfort and safety!) and her routines. Next time we need a sitter, I will definitely get in touch with Haylee.

About: I’ve taken care of animals in a personal sense (dog for 11 years and cats for 2 years), but I have also spent summers volunteering at the Kern County Animal Shelter, and I have some experience with farm animals as well (less than a year). I work full time but during the night. My work hours are usually from 12am-8:30am so I will be available for most of the day for whatever care your animal may need. I have a fenced yard a small dog, three cats, and a foster kitten. My neighborhood is very walkable and I have experience walking both cats and dog.

Callie was raised with dogs and cats. She learned early on that she was more comfortable often with animals than with people. As an adult the last 8 years she has has both cats and a dog. She learned obedience training and how to train even the largest dog to follow commands for both owner and dog safety. She is a natural caregiver especially with animals and loves to spend time with them. She has experience with dog-sitting, dog-walking, bathing, basic care and pet safety. For the past 3 years, she has house sat and cared for my 3 dogs and 5 cats as well as cared for my plants. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, conscientious caretaker.
