“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!”

“Steve is amazing! He was thorough, on time, and went above and beyond by cleaning up and dealing with a malfunctioning automatic litter box. My cats seemed happy and healthy when I got back from my trip.”

“Breanna was great with my Millie dog. I was very apprehensive to book drop-in doggy visits because my Millie dog can be protective and not welcoming to anyone new in her yard and house. Breanna let Millie warm up to her on Millie's terms and Breanna even brought some of her doggies to play with Millie, with permission of course. I will definitely book drop-in visits with Breanna again for Millie. Thank you Breanna, you have made this stressful situation for us seamless and uneventful. Millie looks forward to having you stop by again especially if you bring one of your doggies to play.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for a few years, mostly for close friends and family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company while their family is away, I’ve always treated pets as my own. I often help with housesitting and babysitting as well, so I’ve learned to also juggle multiple responsibilities. I’m currently home for the summer from college, although as back to school season starts, my last day in Bakersfield will be September 15th. With no current academic commitments, I am able to build my daily routine around the pets I care for! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m not afraid to ask clarifying questions about your pets to ensure I am giving them the best care. :)

About: Hi, I’m Dominie! I offer loving home-style boarding with 2 daily walks and plenty of updates. Your dog will feel right at home. My pet care journey began with two amazing dogs- Lucky (a Lab) and Mills (a pug-chihuahua mix) whom I cared for daily over 3 years. From walks to meals, playtime to cuddles, I became part of their world and realized how much I truly enjoy caring for animals. What sets me apart is the personalized care & constant companionship your dog will receive. I work from home, so your 🐶 will never be left alone. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times to fit your schedule. Need help with transport? I offer convenient pick-up and drop-off for a small mileage-based fee. Just sit back and I’ll handle the drive! 🚗🐾 Pet care fits really well into my daily schedule since I work from home. I have the flexibility to take pets out for walks, play, or potty breaks throughout the day. I have a gated front yard that’s great for safe, supervised outdoor time. A typical day looks like: 🐾Morning walks around 7am to start the day with energy and excitement. 🐾Potty breaks every 2 hours. 🐾Midday play sessions during my work breaks (I’m always up for a game of fetch!) 🐾Evening walks around 6pm to wind down the day. 🐾Plenty of snuggles, affection, and supervision. Whether your 🐶 is playful or prefers a chill day indoors, I adapt to their needs and comfort level. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

About: While I haven’t had formal pet care experience, I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always taken care of my own pets. I understand how important it is to give them love, attention, and consistent care. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of affection. I may not have professional training, but I’m reliable, gentle, and genuinely care about the well-being of animals. I treat every pet like family! I currently work part-time at Chipotle, which gives me plenty of free time to care for your little ones. I’m available in the mornings, early afternoons, and on weekends! When visiting a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions to keep their pet safe and comfortable. I always double-check that doors and gates are secure, and I pay close attention to the pet’s behavior and surroundings during walks and playtime. I believe in building trust through patience, gentle handling, and creating a calm, fun environment where your pet feels safe and cared for

About: I grew up living with different types of pets and have a degree in animal science. I have also fostered and volunteered at animal shelters I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. I'm available any time on weekdays and some weekends I have a fenced yard, space and friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If needed I have crates for your pups to use

“Jeanette is local to me and was very pleasant and easy to talk to. We have cameras so I was able to track her visits and watch her spend time with the dogs. Our agreement was to just feed my 2 dogs twice a day, but she went above and beyond. She brought my mail and packages into my garage and spent time playing with our German Shepherd and Beagle. She was "on Task" and on time every day. I would definitely use her again.”

About: As someone who has owned pets, I have years of experience in caring for both cats and dogs. When I could not locate a proper groomer for my shihtzu, I learned how cut my dogs hair and clip his nails. I have open availability so I can fit morning, afternoon, and nightly check ins, baths, walks, overnight sitting, and errands. I would love to spend as much time as I can making sure that your pet is well loved and taken care of. I don’t want to break an animal’s routine so if you have your pet on a schedule/routine, diet, or regiment of some sort, I plan to stick to that.

About: I’ve had many different types of pets in my lifetime, and I learned that every animal should be treated like a unique being. With different traits and tempers, care for each animal should be individualized. I love getting to know a pet and fulfilling their needs as wells as gaining experience! I’m currently a college student and have a part time job, I work 3-6 Monday-Friday. This being said, I have plenty of time before or after the to walk/check on an animal. No pet need is an inconvenience to me! When walking a dog I make it an individual experience, only one dog at a time. Or on the occasion, dogs of the same household. When checking on pets inside their own home, I make sure to check for any sort of mess or area that a pet may escape from. A home security is very important to me, this means locking up properly and making sure the pet has all essentials.

About: Animals have always been a strong love of mine. Not only have I been a dog owner from the age of 3 and own 6 furbabies of my own, I have also been a horse owner, avid equestrian, and a 4H sheep owner that won Reserve Grand Champion 2 consecutive years showing them at the Kern County Fair. Providing the same love and care to your pets as I do my own is my top priority. Our pup’s didn’t earn the nickname of Man’s Best Friend out of nowhere and they deserve to be cherished, even when you need time away from home. I have experience in all ages and conditions including but not limited to: -New pups -Old pups -Blind pups -Diabetic pups I currently work full-time as a medical scribe with the goal of becoming a Physician Assistant. The great part? My workday starts early and ends early, leaving me with the perfect early morning, afternoon, and evening hours to dedicate to pet care. Daily walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles all fit smoothly into my routine, and I love having that quality time with pets after a busy morning. Weekends are even more flexible, which allows for longer stays, extra play, or extended house sitting when needed. Caring for animals brings a great balance to my week—and a lot of joy too! I treat your space with the same respect I treat my own. I keep things tidy, follow all routines to the letter, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I keep you updated with daily pics, videos, and little notes on how your pup is doing! When walking, I’m big on safety—leash rules, paw checks, water breaks, and always watching for dog’s body language. My goal is a happy, tired, and content pet after every visit.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for the past two years and before that I had my own during childhood! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have short hours at work so I have plenty of time to walk and care for pets throughout the week! I’m also an early riser! My current roommate works long hours so I am the primary caretaker of his two dogs! I feel like their both our dogs at this point.

About: Bringing a year of dedicated experience, I'm a compassionate and reliable pet care professional committed to providing exceptional care and ensuring the safety and happiness of all pets under my supervision. Morning dog walks serve as an excellent way to start my day, offering a refreshing and active break before lectures. My afternoon and evening hours after classes are then dedicated to additional dog walks, feeding, and personalized pet interactions. This seamless integration ensures that I can provide consistent and reliable care to pets, fitting around my study schedule.

Not only do I adhere to rigorous safety protocols during walks and interactions outside the home, but my personal residence is also meticulously prepared to provide a secure and enriching environment for your beloved companion.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and I care deeply for them. I adopted my first dog, a GSD, 7 years ago and adopted my second 4 years ago. I also have experience with senior dogs as I have a 13 year old Chihuahua. I feel very comfortable caring for big dogs and taking on the responsibilities that come with them. You can rest assured that your fur babies are safe with me! I currently only work part-time and am able to devote a large portion of time to caring for your pets. I am available for overnight stays and can check in multiple times a day to make sure your pet is cared for. I am very responsible and while pet sitting in clients’ homes I ensure to follow whatever instructions they leave for me. I want you to feel secure in knowing that I’m caring for your pets just as you would.

About: I actually have 5 cats of my own. I work with rescues and fosters when I can. And I feed all of the stray cats outside lol. I have a big heart and love all animals. I have a pretty flexible schedule. I work 4 hour shifts so after my shifts I can take care of the animal and then go back to work when needed but I’m free every 4 hours so I have a good amount of time to care for animals. I definitely prefer Sitting at your home because I love the animal to be in its day to day environment and feel safe and at home and have everything they need but yes if needed I am able to watch cats and some dogs at my home
