Pet Sitting Barstow

“Adalia did an awesome job with my two cats. I received rover report cards and pictures every day. On the last day Ellie had a digestive issue and Adalia cleaned it up even though I said I could do it the next day. Will definitely use her again if she is available.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and feel very comfortable caring for all kinds of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve watched all kinds of breeds including, but not limited to, Pit Bulls, Great Danes, Yorkies, Doodles, Huskies, and more. I’m used to adjusting my care to fit each dog. I also worked for two years at a dog grooming shop where it was just me and the groomer, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience handling dogs, reading body language, and helping dogs who were nervous or high-energy stay calm and safe. I’ve had my own dog for 8 years, so I truly understand how important routine, trust, and good communication are when it comes to caring for someone else’s pet. I take a relaxed but attentive approach and focus on making dogs feel comfortable, safe, and cared for—like they’re at home. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m home full time, which allows me to have full availability. I am also flexible and can accommodate longer stays, frequent check-ins, or last-minute needs. I provide attentive, structured care specific to each pet’s needs. In my home, dogs have access to a large, fully fenced backyard (1 acre) for safe outdoor play. I can walk/run dogs, and I also have transportation to take dogs to parks and trails. I’m happy to crate dogs if a crate is provided but prefer to let them free range. If a dog needs space, rest, or separation, I have plenty of private areas. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, but I’m very mindful about introductions and compatibility.

“Lauren did amazing with Major, he usually gets scared with people and won’t come out of his crate but she got him to go outside and potty! He also made a few messes but she cleaned it up and kept me updated on everything! I really appreciate her help and would recommend her help!”

Adalia R.

“Amazing care for my cats! Cleaned up after them and changed everything that needed to be changed. Very attentive, professional and easy to work with! Will definitely be booking again, highly recommended!”

“Dons a lifesaver! New to the neighborhood with a pack of anxious pups and he responded right away to my inquiry, came out to meet them and a visit was set! Being Updated throughout the whole process made me feel at ease while away at work. Will definitely be re-booking and highly recommend.”

Anna M.

“Was very amazing with my cats! My youngest cat is very timid and runs at the sight of anyone else other than me. He was always out and about when she was there! Very flexible with schedule as well! Overall 10/10, will be booking again!”

About: Librarian dog mom here! I have a huge love of all animals. I have had dogs off and on most of my life. The longest, however was with my soul dog, Wrinkles. He was adopted from a puppy mill around 2-4 months old and I raised him until he passed away from cancer in November of 2020. I now am co-parent to a rambunctious puppy I adopted in February of 2021 (who lives with grandpa), named Freckles. I am also co-parent to a sweet boy who is around 7-8 years old, that belongs to my partner and is named Max (or his official name of Sir Maximillian of the Beef and Bacon Foots). In February of 2025 we adopted our little mali-gator Beatrix "Goo Goo Muck". Bertie for short. She's something else. She is a year and some change old now and growing like a weed! I am a librarian/ archivist/information specialist but due to current health I have taken a sabbatical from work. I have a huge love of animals. I would absolutely love nothing more than to spend my free time, not only petting and playing with precious animals, but helping someone out by being able to leave their furbaby with someone trustworthy, reliable, and not out to break your wallet. I would love to schedule a time with you to come for a meet and greet and get to know your furbaby a little prior to the first housesitting or drop-in visit. Because my partner's dog is reactionary, I cannot host your furbabies at my place. However, I am available to house-sit for a few hours or overnights. Not only does it work best for me, I think it is best to keep your pet in their own home and maintain their own routine.

About: I have grown up with dogs for most of my life, I have helped raised 5 dogs in my family's home. I have learned to raise dogs since they were born. I've learned how to train them when I used to go to doggy training at petco. How to keep them active, how to play with them, relax with them, bathe them. I know such a good amount of knowledge and it still surprises me when I learn something new. I love and adore dogs. I am currently active duty, so my schedule usually ends with work off after 3 or 3:30pm. I am available weekends for whatever your animal needs. During the day when im at work my wife is a stay at home. So when I cant be their during my work hours shes my second pair of hands to help care and love your animal too. When I usually see my family and help care for the family pets, I love taking them to a park or a nice hike/walk. I think it's super important for dogs to be as active as possible (well at least untill they used up all their energy for the day) to make sure they get their bones and muscles moving to keep them healthy. Then a nice warm bath to make sure they stay clean and fresh. I usually like to spend at least a hour with redoing the tricks they have been taught. So it stays fresh in their memory and to make sure they aren't getting rusty on doing the trick. Then usually it's the end of the day, the dog had exceeded the energy for the day and it is now ready to relax. Anything you need help with for your animal can be taken care of. For my feline friends I have 2 cats of my own which are so gentle and loving towards other animals. I have never had a problem with them meeting a new animal. I live in a 2 story house so alot of room for your animal to walk around and feel safe

“Erica was so exceptional that even my people shy cat came out for some pets from her. I'm very happy and will book Erica if I ever need someone to take care of my cats again.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life. I’ve worked at two animal shelters, socializing dogs, playing with them, feeding them on time, bathing them. I’ve owned four dogs, two of them recently passed and lived up to ages 16 and 12. I’ve lived with my cousin and her 4 large dogs with specific feeding needs and her 4 cats. The last shelter I worked at mostly had cats and kittens, some with special needs that I cared for. I’m not currently employed and have plenty of time in my schedule to give to an animal. I do not live alone, but still need to be home to help with my two. Nonetheless, I have lots of time on my hands right now. Any specific requirements they need, I will fulfill to my best abilities. Dogs and cats are weird creatures with weird specific needs sometimes. They have their ow personalities and likes and dislikes, so I understand. I can let them out for potty breaks, play with, and feed them. As long as there is a small list of instructions.

About: I have had dogs all my life and was always the one who took care of them and took them on walks and would love to keep your fur babies company while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible and would love to have a fur baby join us on our daily walks. I have a large fenced in back yard and a son who also loves dogs and playing with them and is very gentle with them.

“What a fantastic first-time experience. Afton was professional and personable, I could also tell that my pets were well taken care of during my time away. I was originally wary of letting someone into my home for so many days, but everything was just as I left it, and my pets were very happy. It was fantastic having someone local, and I would definitely recommend Afton to anyone looking for pet care in the High Dessert or wherever she may venture to in the future.”

“Mariah was GREAT! She watched our cats while we took a holiday trip this Thanksgiving and she was very attentive, caring, kind, and even sent us photos of our babies while we were gone! It was so reassuring knowing they were in such great hands! She is an animal lover who is currently studying to work with animals as well! We loved her care so much that we booked her for another vacation where we will be out of town! She will treat your pets the way you would treat them, it comes very natural to her!”

About: I have had pets since I was very young. I currently have my loving Mia and she's been with me for 10 years. I will give your pets the love and attention they deserve while you're away! My pet sitting service offers personalized care, playtime, and cuddles to keep your furry friends happy and comfortable in the safety of their own home. Rest easy knowing your pets are in good hands! I do work during the week. I am an Instructional Aide for Silver Valley Unified School District. I work for one of the schools in Fort Irwin National Training Center. I can do drop-in visits during the week, but they would be after work. I have just moved to the area and I am looking to build a customer base. Whatever is normal routine for your dog! I think it’s important to maintain this balance for them while you’re away so they do not have added stress. It helps keep them feeling familiar and grounded in your absence, but I am always happy to add to that with new experiences and places. I do not have the capacity to allow clients animals into my home, yet am more than happy to travel to stay in someone’s house to care for their animals. Animals are generally more comfortable and confident in a space they are familiar with, and I am willing to travel to ensure your pet is cared for as best as possible.

“Avril did a great job of taking care of my pup!”

About: 🐾 A Lifetime of Love, Now Sharing It Through Rover Hi! I’m Isaac, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years. Before joining Rover, I worked for free because I simply love animals and wanted to help people in my community. Over time, my passion grew into a professional career where I get to do what I love every day — caring for dogs and making pet parents’ lives easier. I’m also an up-and-coming book writer, which means I’m extremely organized, focused, and detail-oriented. I take notes on every dog I care for so I can fully understand their personality, quirks, and needs. I always do meet & greets before starting any job so that your pet feels comfortable and you can feel confident that they’re in safe hands. I’m calm, patient, and dependable, even in the most stressful or chaotic situations — whether it’s handling a dozen energetic pups, an overly affectionate dog, or cleaning up big messes (which I always do so well you’d never know it happened!). I can handle pregnant dogs, multiple pets, and any breed, and I even offer free basic training for dogs who need a little help with manners — as long as they’re not aggressive. I understand all a dog’s cues — when they’re happy, nervous, or uneasy — and I always listen to what they’re trying to communicate. I take pride in the fact that I’ve never failed a single dog I’ve worked with, no matter how challenging the job was. The only pets I don’t take are aggressive or unpredictable dogs that have a tendency to bite, nip. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and positive experience for every animal I care for. I’m quick to respond to requests and open to long-term clients who want a sitter they can rely on year-round. If you’re looking for someone who’s passionate, responsible, and treats your pets like family, I’d love to be your go-to sitter! 🐶💙 Hi there! I’m so excited to be offering my dog sitting, walking, and drop-in services here on Rover. While I may be new to the platform, I’m definitely not new to caring for dogs! For the past 9 years, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and neighbors — caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve learned that every dog is wonderfully unique — and they deserve care that’s just as personal. Whether it’s a drop-in visit for some playtime and cuddles, a long refreshing walk, or overnight house sitting, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and understood. Here’s what makes my care a little different: 🐶 Heartfelt, Personalized Attention I don’t just “check in” — I connect. I take time to learn each dog’s quirks, favorite games, and comfort zones. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, or needs a little extra patience, I adjust my approach to make them feel completely at ease. 🚶 Walks That Nurture Mind & Body Walks with me are more than just a potty break — they’re time for enrichment, sniffing adventures, and positive energy. I match your dog’s pace and personality to make each walk both fun and fulfilling. 🏡 Respectful, Reliable Care at Home When I’m in your home, you can trust I’ll treat it — and your pets — with the same care and respect I give my own. You’ll always receive clear communication, photo updates, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. ❤️ Built on Experience, Fueled by Love I’ve spent nearly a decade caring for dogs simply because I love it. Now, joining Rover lets me do what I love most — bringing comfort, joy, and trust to pets and their people. Your dog isn’t just another booking — they become part of my extended furry family. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, not just someone who “sits,” I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 🕓 Availability & Scheduling I aim to make pet care as flexible and stress-free as possible for every family I work with. 🐾 Drop-In Visits: Available any day and time — except on major family holidays. I’m happy to accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits to fit your dog’s routine. 🏡 House Sitting: I’m available for overnight or extended stays anytime. I just ask for at least one day’s notice so I can plan accordingly and give your pet my full attention. 🚶 Dog Walks: I offer walks daily between 3:00 PM and 11:00 PM — perfect for after-work strolls, evening walks, or nighttime potty breaks. Please note: I do not offer walks past 11:00 PM. Communication and consistency are important to me, so I always confirm bookings promptly and keep you updated with messages and photos during my visits. My goal is to give you total peace of mind — knowing your pets are cared for with reliability, love, and respect for your schedule. Hello! Im Isaac, a dedicated dog lover who is passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry family members. Whether you’re heading out for a short trip or need regular help with your pup, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved in your absence. With 9 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, I understand that each dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and routines. From playful walks to quiet cuddle sessions, I ensure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. You can trust me to: Provide a safe, secure environment for your dog Follow any specific care instructions (feeding, medication, special needs, etc.) Keep your dog active and engaged with walks, playtime, and interactive activities Send regular updates and pictures so you can see how your dog is doing I know how much your dog means to you, and I treat every pup in my care like my own. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority.

“Mitzy was absolutely fantastic for dropping in on our two pets, feeding them, walking them and giving them lots of love. I recommend Mitzy for your pet needs.”

About: My family had puppy dog named Hazel who we had for about 3 years. I used to play fetch with her in the backyard when I’d come home from school when I was around 10. I’d help with baths, walking her, my mom taught me how bring her inside when I was home alone doing homework, she behaved great and protected me well. A few years later, she passed from choking while eating something that I think had a bone in it and that was the first experience of heartbreak/loss. A few years after that, I adopted my current pet cat on my birthday, Ace, who I love so much. I’ve always loved animals and give pets to dogs whenever I have permission to, my best friend has many dogs so when I go over her house, I get all the cuddles and get drooled on, which I’m used to at this point. I love watching dog training videos and educating myself as I get older so when I finally get a dog again, as an adult, I want to be prepared and educated on how to protect their health, feed them properly and keep them safe with proper nutrition, exercise and training. I would personally love to get myself a Doberman or German Shepherd (Like Hazel was). I often go to my aunts house who has multiple chunky french bulldogs and help her in anyway I can, I enjoy how sweet dogs are and would love to help do any training techniques you’d love your little doggo to be working on while you are away. I am also in the process of my goal of losing 100lbs! So this helps me get the exercise I need while doing something I’m passionate about! Weekday and Weekends for now, preferably during the Morning & Afternoons on Weekdays and anytime as long as there is a day notice beforehand so I can clear my schedule just for your pet. Not currently doing pet sitting or boarding at my own home, maybe I will be more likely to in the future but I’m not sure yet.

About: I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs. I know how to train dog on there basic training skills as well as to help keep them mentally stimulated. I’m a full time college student at the moment so my availability is open. I love being around pets and would love to help in my free time. I train my dog daily and I will do the same for your dog. I also love taking my dogs on walks and running him around in the backyard. I will keep your dog mentally stimulated which will help your dog be ready for nap time!
