“We were very happy with Kayla. She followed our instructions for house sitting and accomplished everything we needed. Our home was neat and clean upon our return and she did a good job of watering our flowers. Most importantly, our pup like her right away. Kayla took her on walks and the neighbors that she ran into thought she was nice, polite, and taking good care of our pup. We received photos from Kayla every day and in them, our pup seemed relaxed which was reassuring. We will definitely use her again.”

“Grace was great! Responded quickly to the house sitting request. Great communication before, during and after. She arrived early and listened and responded to all the specific ins and outs of the house and dogs. She sent us updates and pictures and our dogs were super happy and adjusted when we got home. I felt comfortable in our home and would certainly call her again. Thanks Grace. Roscoe and Maverick appreciated you. 🐾 ❤️”

“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.”

I love caring for animals❤️ I am planning on pet sitting in the late afternoon/evenings during the weekdays and any time on the weekends and am available to stay overnight as needed as long as it’s fun that I leave for work in the morning and can return afterwards. I fist let the pet adjust to me as needed and then I can play with a toy they love, walk them, or just give them attention and cuddle if that’s what they choose.

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs in my life since I was born. I was practically raised by two lovely German Shepherds and have only fostered a deeper love of animals the older I've gotten. I have housesat for relatives and taken care of their dogs in their absence. I have experience with taking care of young pups/kittens and currently take care of my precious elderly chihuahua, Ellie.

Happy to work with yours and your pets' schedules! I take great care to watch for an animals body language and react accordingly. I can crate most dogs so long as they're trained for it.

About: Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just being near a human at all times, I adapt to what makes them happiest. With a medical background, I’m especially attentive to instructions, medications, and changes in behavior—nothing gets overlooked. I offer pet care Friday through Sunday, which allows me to be fully present and consistent during those days. Since I work full-time during the week, I intentionally limit my availability so pets receive calm, unhurried, and reliable care, never rushed or overbooked. I care for pets in their home by sticking closely to their routine—meals on time, walks as expected, litter boxes clean, and plenty of attention based on their personality. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or just supervising me from across the room, I meet them where they’re at.

About: I am a Fear Free certified veterinary technician of 13 years who grew up in the show dog world (AKC) before getting into rescue as an adult. Throughout my long-lived animal career I have participated in puppy/kitten/basic obedience training, behavioral rehabilitation, dog sport training, senior care, care for animals with extreme medical needs, and owned/operated a group play doggie daycare. My jobs, hobbies, and passions are all centered around animals and I can't wait to bring that passion to you! I am home full-time, and available for puppies and animals with heavy needs. I have a fairly set schedule for all of the pets in my care, and that level of routine provides comfort to even the most nervous of pups. I am the only Fear Free pet carer in Bakersfield! I provide comforting classical music as well as calming pheromones in the sleeping spaces to make their stay as stress-free as possible. I have a fenced yard and never leave dogs together unsupervised. I do not provide an environment suitable for animals with a history of dog aggression. Small dogs I can be more flexible with, as their attitude usually comes from a place of fear and that is something I can work with for the little guys.

Our pup, Tilly, was happy with Jess and so are we. He took her for her walks and the neighbors who ran into him and Tilly said that he was great. Upon our return, the house was neat and clean. Can't get much better. Will definitely use Jess again.
