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: I’ve had many dogs and cats while growing up and with that, I’ve had to take careful care of them in their senior years with medications and their overall well-being. I’ve always been trusted to dog sit overnight at friend’s and family’s houses throughout the years. I am a 2nd year nursing student and currently have the summer off from school leaving me plenty of free time for watching and taking care of animals. My main priority with this job is pet safety of course. I’m very cautious when taking them on walks and when they are around unfamiliar dogs.

“Lindsay is extremely professional and communicative. She sends photos, updates, and notes everytime she comes. We are happy to trust her in our home, and with our baby. She has worked with us, despite an ever changing schedule. AMy pup loves her, and he is the true judge.”

About: I may not have a ton of professional experience, but I've been surrounded by animals since I was young. I've had many pets of my own, and I've always made sure they were well taken care of. So even though I may not have formal training, my love and dedication to animals make me a reliable and caring sitter. Your furry friend will be in good hands with me! Taking care of pets is a priority in my daily routine. I make sure to set aside dedicated time for feeding, walking, and playing with them. Whether it's daily walks or regular playtime, I make sure to provide the love and attention they need. Pets are an important part of my life, so their care is always a top priority for me! In my own home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for pets, providing them with food, water, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions, maintaining their routines, and providing the same level of care and attention. Whether it's in my home or theirs, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets I care for.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around ten years old. I have experience from pigs, bunnies, turtles, to cats and of course dogs! I have raised puppies of my own and senior dogs as well. I love pets in all shapes, sizes and most importantly, personalities! I have even volunteered at the animal shelter to make sure I can provide those without owners, a loving experience with genuine care. I will always put your furry loved ones first and give them not only the best care possible, but also a loving home away from home where they feel comfortable and loved! I am a full time student at UCSB where I only attend a couple of classes in the morning for only a few hours at a time. I live very close to campus so I am always able to come home in between classes. I am very much a home body so I have pretty much a free schedule to bond and play with your furry loved one! My home is very safe, it is a studio with a smaller backyard. There is much space inside for your furry loved ones to play and the best part is the dog park across the street! For those whose house I will be entering, I will always listen to any special instructions and be very respectful of your space.

“Joshua is a breath of fresh air for me and my poopers! He is extremely reliable, responsible and amazing with my doggos. You can tell he loves animals and mine sure do love him. He is so kind and respectful to them. (For example, this is one of many) My little girl is a stubborn puppy, he is so calm with her in his commands . He will tell her "no ma'am" in the nicest voice, when she jumps on him. This may be a small thing for some, but lemme tell you, she is as stubborn as they get. Additionally, he works on training them, on my puppies dominance issues, utilizing commands, and leash training. Honestly, I lucked out. He really goes above and beyond. If you need a person who is going to love your babies and reliably show up, Joshua is your man. I've been with Rover for over 5 years and Joshua supersedes the rest. I've always been satisfied, with Joshua I am elated!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I'D GIVE MORE IF THAT WAS A THING)”


About: Pretty much all of my life I’ve had a pet or two within my household. My first pet I remember clearly have a lot of responsibilities for was a cat I had when I was around 7. I would feed her, clean her litter box, and overall assist my family with caring for her. A couple years later I got a Golden Retriever and it was this dog that showed me how much I love animals. Once again I was always willing to help with her care, taking her for walks, giving her baths, and brushing her hair whenever needed. Now I have two dogs that I take extension care of and that I love to death. I bathe them, feed them, play with and take for walks. I’m currently employed and work a part time job, with a majority of my focus being towards school. I attend classes Monday-Thursday. At the moment I am currently on winter break so when I’m not working I spend most days with my dogs. I take them for walks regularly, feed them everyday, and give them attention all throughout the days. I grew up being taught to treat animals and other living things with respect and kindness. When I dog sit animals I abide by the rules given to me by owners and will care completely for the animals. I will feed whatever pets exactly how I am instructed, let them go outside to use the restroom regularly, and play with them extensively. I love animals a lot and I will probably spoil the animals with lots of love and attention if allowed. When walking my own dogs I allow my dogs to go potty and will pick up after them, I would let the dogs walk wherever they choose to go. I know that the dogs walks are for them to go out and get some fresh air and go potty.
