“Lora was amazing!! She was on-time, flexible, reliable and so sweet with us and our pup. She did a meet and greet with us and our dog, prior to the dog sit day just to make sure she knew feeding times and to get comfortable with our dog and the house. We felt super comfortable leaving our dog with her and would 100% recommendation her!! If she is available, book her. No question!!”


“Janine was amazing as usual. She has a real way with animal. My dog doesn't bond with people very easily because she is frightened so she will bark. With Janine she isn't afraid and is excited to see her every time. She also updates me throughout the day which I love because I have had past sitters who do the bare minimum.”
“Sahvanna took great care of our German shepherd and golden retriever while we were away! They were so happy with her, we got lots of updates, and our home was taken great care of. We can’t recommend Sahvanna’s services enough and would definitely use them again in the future”

About: You’ll get total kindness and dependability, along with happy pets when you select me. I will do everything I can to make sure your pets feel happy, safe and are well cared for. I never rush and always give pets all the time they need while I am there. Plus, I’m happy to water plants and anything else you need for free. - I’m new to Rover but have been pet sitting via neighborhood apps and ads for over 20 years. Additionally, I do as many drop-in visits as your pets need for that same basic day rate. So, if you need me to stop by three or more times, I’m happy to do that for no extra charge. It helps keep your pets in their home where they are most comfortable without interrupting their routine. While there I can open or close blinds, turn lights and TV off or on, whatever your pet needs to feel safe and comfortable while you are away. Plus, you’ll get regular updates so you know your pets are dong well while you are away. Along with caring for my pug and my cats - caring for others pets takes center stage during the day. I also enjoy getting to know pets and their owners in order to give excellent care. I understand keeping your pet safe is an incredible extension of trust. I am very careful when opening doors, am very aware of our surroundings when taking walks, and very careful doors are securely locked. Any special requests owners have, I am happy to abide. I’m safe, dependable and trustworthy- always.

About: My name is Al and I don't mind spending time with any dog. Always a good time. If you select me for this job I'll do my best to make sure your dog(s) have a friendly healthy experience. I've never had a problem with dogs, even ones that bite. And I will pick up after them on walks. Whatever the situation is, it's no problem. I do really need the extra money and it would be my pleasure to build an ongoing arrangement for your convenience. I am very careful with any responsibility given to me. I will watch out for other dogs and your dogs safety, as well as anyone else and abuse. If there is any discrepancy you need to know I will tell you. If you have any questions, just ask. Thank you.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, goats, and horses. Every animal is welcome! I provide a kind, patient, and respectful environment tailored to your pet's specific routine. Message me anytime to discuss how I can help care for your animal! Since I care for animals full-time, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I spend my days studying at home and working on structured training and bonding with my smart dog, Rosie. Because Rosie is currently recovering from a leg injury, we stay close to home, meaning I am consistently available to dedicate my full time, energy, and attention to caring for your pets. I provide care directly in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space. My focus is just on sticking to your exact routine for feeding, medication, and potty breaks. I treat your home with total respect and will always send you updates and photos so you know they are doing well.
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

About: I have taken care of senior dogs who require medicine doses and health monitoring. I have also cared for very young puppies and kittens who have needed to be bottle fed. I foster kittens a lot and it truly is so rewarding to see them grow healthy and enjoy life. I have had pets at my home and I have house sat and kept an eye on pets. I just graduated high school May 2026 so I have a lot of free time. I wake up early in the morning and just do tasks around the house. I am home full time right now. I have siblings but more importantly one 9 year old brother who is gentle with animals and understands how they should be treated. I have a lot of free time on my hands and i am very flexible so any routine a pet already has at your home can also be matched with me. I also am able to drive. Our backyard is fenced and we do not have any permanent pets in the home right now. We do sometimes have foster pups or kittens which are kept in a bedroom that has a code lock on it so they can be nursed to good health in peace.

About: I’m a dedicated 21 year old dog lover who currently cares for two rescued female puppies. They are friendly and fixed :) Raising young shelter dogs has given me hands-on experience with puppy routines, socialization, basic training, exercise, and lots of patience. I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. Growing up, I also owned a Chihuahua and spent time dog walking for others ever since I was a kid, which helped me learn how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with active puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need extra attention and reassurance. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to stay close to home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I care for my own two young dogs every day, so pet care is already a major part of my routine. When I'm not working, I spend time walking, training, playing with, and caring for them. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care and make sure they receive the attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, dogs have access to a large, securely fenced yard where they can play, exercise, and explore safely under supervision. I also have a large crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet place to relax. If a dog needs their own space, I can separate them using a dog gate and provide a comfortable area in my home where they can rest safely. I always monitor interactions between pets and make sure each dog is comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels at home.
About: I am on Kern County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team, I am fingerprinted and background vetted. So your animals and property would be well protected. I have taken care of animals of every kind since I was a young girl. I also worked at a veterinary hospital while I was in high school, which fueled my passion for animals. Family, friends and neighbors have all relied on me to take care of their beloved pets. Whether it's dropping dogs off at my home or me staying at their house to provide a calming, reassurance to your pet while they were gone. I am currently retired. So I have plenty of time to look in on your pet, take them for walks, give them love and nuzzles. Or just come and peek in on them and make sure they have plenty of food and water and that they are okay. Some animals that I take care of do not care for people to stick around in their home. So I just check on them several times a day and make sure they're doing okay. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to play with your pups and keep them active. I can easily create if need be.
“Kyle and his fiancé did a wonderful job watching our pups in our home for a weekend. They were present, communicative, and left our home in great shape. Lots of cute pics and the pups seemed really happy!”

“Ryas was amazing with Oreo. Ryas made our family feel comfortable leaving her for the day. This was our first time leaving her and I'm sure we gave an overload of information. Ryas was very patient with us first timers!! Thank you for making this an amazing experience and for taking care of our baby!!”

“Very sweet lady! Did a great job watching the house and our pets! Kept in touch with us while we were out of the state. Sent cute pictures of the dogs and cats! I would ask her to housesit/ pet sit again!”

“Maya was absolutely wonderful. She showed up at the agreed time, gave us periodic updates and pictures of our pup. She was very attentive to our dogs needs and was very comfortable with him which we were worried about because he is a big boy. We will definitely be using Maya again!”
