House Sitting in College Heights-Baker Street, Bakersfield, CA

“We are so thankful that Joshua was available to watch our dog and house for our recent vacation. We were gone just under a month and he took excellent care of everything, texting us with regular updates and sending videos of our pup. It is clear that he is very caring and conscientious. We already have several more mini vacations planned! 😊”

“Samantha did a wonderful job looking after our 3 pets while we were away for the week. I received regular pictures and updates on our pets, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned. I highly recommend her for any pet related services!”

“Left my 4 month puppy overnight, she was awesome and kept me posted and sent me pictures.. definitely will hire Crystal again.. thank you Crystal!”

“Awesome job!”

“Angel is amazing! She is kind, a great communicator, and reliable. Our dog had a little bit of an upset tummy from seperation anxiety when we left and Angel cared and looked out for her. We were out of state and it was really nice knowing we had someone trusted to care for her while we were away. Highly recommend Angel!”

“I felt comfortable with Zena taking care of my fur babies. She did give me an update and a photo of my fur baby and also told me when she left the house and for how long. She is very responsible and came on time. I definately will book again with her. Thanks”

“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!”

“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!”

“Lizbeth has been my biggest help with my dog. Whenever I need someone to look out for my husky rocky, I can trust Lizbeth will give him the care he needs. He can be a bit high maintenance but liz always handles the situation greatly 😊”

“Claudia is terrific with my fur baby. She is a Veterinary Assistant which makes her the best!!! She is very loving to my fur baby and I’m sure I’ll be reaching out to her again.”

“Sidney was absolutely amazing!! It was our first time using Rover and she put us at ease the moment we met for a little meet-and-greet with our crew. She sent videos and pictures everyday which we absolutely loved. We had two dogs and a cat, all with their own special quirks, and Sidney was so great with all three. Our vacation was stress-free knowing she was there and she left the house in perfect order for when we returned. We can’t recommend her enough (in fact, we bragged about her to the family our entire trip 😂) and will absolutely be booking her again.”

“Caitlyn did an excellent job watching our pups especially with an ice/snow storm complicating matters. Our dogs did not seem stressed upon our return and our house looks great. Much appreciated!”

“Ashley was great! Took great care of our Fur babies!”

“Jonathon is humble, responsible, patient, loving, caring and highly knowledgeable!! He wont let you down, trust me very trustworthy and reliable!!!!!!! Highly recommend. U won’t regret it.”

“Esther took great care of my very old dog, gave his meds and put up with his very early schedule, and feed my 4 kitties too❤️I recommend her to everyone 🎉”

“From the first meet and greet I felt comfortable and secure knowing my little bella was going to be in great care. She was punctual and professional the entire time my pup was with her. Highly recommend”

About: Not only have I grew up all my life with different dogs and cats I also have worked for Pet Smart that required me to work with different animals each day. I have open availability I go to school full time and I am looking for a job that will be able to work with my schedule I also love to be around animals that uplifts my mood I would make sure they are happy and safe if it is for a walk I would drink water and snacks for them with approval first and maybe socks for them so the paws don’t get too hot on the pavement. For house sitting I would ensure that they are safe, being fed, and getting the quality time they need for playtime

“Berlyn has a sweet and gentle presence that helps my dogs feel safe and calm. She communicates regularly and is punctual. She's very receptive to feedback. She is great.”

About: I have a big heart for animals. I grew up on a horse ranch, where my family worked closely with a rescue to rehabilite and re-home at risk Mastiffs and Akitas. I have an extensive understanding of animal behavior. In addition to growing up around animals, I have several years of experience with specialized dog training (including 2 years training service dogs for people with disabilities) and behavioral rehabilitation for large breeds. I also have several years of experience working with puppies under 1 year old and 15 years of experience with large-giant breed dogs. I am certified in Dog and Cat CPR and First Aid and I have 2 years of experience working as a Mobile Veterinary Technician. I also have 3 years of experience managing a dog and cat grooming and boarding facility and have worked with various animal rescues/nonprofits throughout the years. Due to my extensive experience with animals, I am able to provide generalized and more specialized care for your furbabies, including administering oral medications as needed and tending to unique dietary needs. I am currently working part-time during the week, but am available Mondays after 10am, Wednesdays after 2pm and Fridays after 4pm, as well as weekends. I have open availability on Saturdays and Sundays. My availability should be opening up to include full days on Monday and Tuesday soon. Please be patient with me. Sometimes I may not be able to answer right away, but I will get back to you within the day. I work in a high security position during the week. I will follow your typical routine and any special requests to keep your animals most comfortable, as I understand that sudden changes can cause undue stress to animals, especially as they age. I provide walks and/or outside time time based on your current routine and/or the age of the dog. For example, I make sure puppies are taken out regularly at intervals appropriate for their age in months, as well as monitoring them for signs that they need to go outside again between walks. I keep active animals physically and mentally engaged using toys and puzzles (as they are available) so your furbabies don't get into trouble while you're away. I am a big fan of positive reinforcement training and can help encourage positive behaviors through this method using toys and/or treats as available, but this is not a substitute for working directly with a trainer and will not be the focus of care. When they're all tired out, I love all of the snuggles! I am very detailed in the care that I provide and I offer this service because I truly LOVE working with animals. I do not currently offer boarding or daycare in my personal home.

About: Lifelong pet owner and animal lover with 2 years of experience as pet sitter. Provide safe, nurturing care for dogs and cats. Friendly and trustworthy, putting pets and their people at ease with reliable, conscientious care. I recently relocated from North Carolina to Bakersfield and find myself with plenty of free time as I transition between jobs. Currently, I walk my mom's dog three times a day and genuinely enjoy the companionship. It dawned on me that extending my services to walking and caring for other people's dogs through Rover would not only be a great way to meet new people but also earn some extra income. Even once I secure a new job, my commitment to providing excellent pet care services through Rover remains strong, as my passion for animals is unwavering. In my client's home, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. I create a comfortable and safe environment, ensuring they have access to food, water, and any necessary medications. Regular exercise and playtime are essential, whether it's a leisurely walk around the neighborhood or a fun game of fetch in the backyard. I also maintain open communication with the pet owners to address any specific needs or preferences their pets may have. Additionally, I provide lots of love and attention, treating each pet as if they were my own, to ensure they feel secure and content while in my care.
