Kelly is the best! She has been so helpful and supportive. She’s great at communicating with me, flexible, and always willing to help when needed. She’s attentive to my animals needs and detail orientated. Both my dog and cat both love her! I’m so glad I found a reliable person to take care of my kiddos when needed.

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!

About: I have taken care of many different species of animals since I was a child; such as birds, cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and rabbits. I can provide senior care as well. My neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on my service over the years. I am currently unemployed so I can focus on my time on your beloved pet any day of the week. I don't need very much notice to take care of your pet. I try to maintain the same environment that your pets are used to. I will stay on the same meal time schedule that they are normally on. Same with potty breaks and walks.

About: I grew up with 6 dogs that I cared for and loved with all of my heart. Dogs can expect lots of love, play, and exercise. I work from home by caring for my disabled husband and our 3 cats. I can easily fit walks check-ins and pet-sitting into my schedule. In my own home, keeping everything safe and clean for my pets is important to me. Working with your pets in their own homes will carry the same importance. I will make sure they have fun and enjoy their time, even when away from their pet parents.

About: I have been a reliable dog sitter and house sitter for nearly a decade. Previously, I was also a frequent foster provider for dogs from the Bakersfield animal shelter. I have an energetic but well trained Australian Shepherd with whom I stay very active, as well as a yard with ample space for dogs to run and play. I currently work part-time, leaving me ample time to spend with your pup. My partner also works primarily from home, ensuring quality care and attention given to your furry friend. I put a strong emphasis on enrichment activities and helping the dogs stay active. I have a lot of experience in helping dogs to adjust to new environments, and I work hard to make your dog feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have owned 4 weimaraners. I am no stranger to large active dogs. I have also cared for them into their senior years and know when to slow things down. Owning a truck with a folding back seat allows me to transport them safely without worries. I have experience with smaller dogs as well. My experience with cats is also quite long. I love my cats I am currently in school, my schedule is flexible for the most part. The only times I am not available is during class times. So the earlier the better, especially during the hot months for the dogs sake. The pets I cared for are treated with the upmost respect. I have cared for even senior dachshunds that need to be carried up and down even the small steps. There is never a time thier needs are not attended to.

Sidney has been so great! Have been working long hours and was worried about my puppy being home for hours in end alone. Sidney came to meet Bunnie before we started regular daily visits, and she stayed and played with Bunnie for an hour almost daily. My neighbors told me they always saw her running around the back yard keeping her active, and she was always super sweet to my baby. She always remembered to put out the activity toys, and would even clean up the rare messes my puppy made even though I told her she didn’t need to. Sidney was super flexible and communicative, sent me lots of photos and videos, and she even took my last minute panicked requests for bookings. I highly recommend trusting your pups to her, she will take great care of them!

I love taking care of dogs and can also handle walking the giant dog breeds and love pitbulls!! Love all dogs though they r awesome potty breaks evry 2 to 4hrs regualrly Have any questions feel free to message me and get to know you and your puppies!! 🐕 Great since I work from home im able to care for dogs quite frequently and also there's a yard just In case since accidents do happen i would want a gate up near a pool no matter what area also if their were children around always like to make sure the dog bowls are nice and clean not dirty also change the food out as well. as if us people had to eat out it clean

Leaving our fur baby is always so hard so this weekend when we went out of town my gf and I booked Adrienna to drop in and visit our kitten Hazy. She was awesome and it made us feel so much betting knowing someone was regularly seeing him so he wouldn’t think we abandond him. When Adrienna came by she went above and beyond by grabbing our mail per request and cleaning up the mess Hazy left when he knocked over a glass plant holder. She even made sure to check his paws to make sure he didn’t step in any glass. We will definitely be rebooking her to come by when we head back out of town for the weekend next month.

Edith is the best pet caregiver I've met. She is an ER Vet Tech, so I have always felt super comfortable leaving my dog with her as she is very knowledgeable and has dedicated her life to animals. She is incredibly responsible, responsive, and experienced. My dog takes various medicines and Edith has always done a wonderful job administering them. I have complete confidence in her ability to take care of my dog!
