“Kelly was an absolute amazing assistance to me while I was in vacation! She remained in constant communication, provided me pictures and was very punctual with her arrivals and departures. You can tell when someone truly loves animals, and I will definitely be booking Kelly in the future!”

About: I’ve had at least 5 years of experience sitting for friends and family. I’m going to college and studying to be a Veterinarian. I volunteer at Kern County animal shelter, and my main task is cleaning puppy cages, so I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I am a college student at CSUB, studying to be a veterinarian. During the Summer, I have a lot of free time while still maintaining good availability during the school year. Even if I have classes, I would still be able to check on an animal every day. I make sure to remove anything that could potentially harm an animal (Sago Palm for cats) and if they enjoy going outside, to always have them on a leash and in my sight.

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. :)

“My 2nd time booking and Breanna has been great. She has taken wonderful care of my kitties and even got one of them to come out and play. They are both scared of strangers so that means a lot!”

About: Hey pawrent! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over twelve years of hands-on experience in pet care. I currently live with three dogs, two cats (who I love dearly despite my allergies!), and I’ve also cared for other companions such as a parrot, a horse, and two sheep. I know every pet is unique, and my top priority is to create calm, positive experiences tailored to fit each animal’s needs and personality. Whether you have a playful puppy, a wise senior dog, or a nervous rescue, I’ll meet them with patience, kindness, and respect. I’m happy to follow your care routine closely, and I’m always open to learning new tools, techniques, or routines that will help me care for your beloved pet the way they deserve. Skills & Experience: -12+ years of experience feeding, grooming, entertaining, and caring for animals -Experienced with dog, cat, parrot, horse, and sheep care -Seniors: administering pills, special dietary needs -Puppies: frequent potty breaks, redirecting nipping/chewing -Familiar with behavioral challenges, especially dog reactivity and body language cues -Basic training skills such as wait, sit, down, and paw -Knowledgeable about pet safety: resource guarding, grooming do’s/don’ts, calm handling -Optional photo & behavior updates for pet parents who want to stay in the loop -Always respectful of your preferences, happy to give space or stay in close contact I am a part-time student, but since it is summer break, I have a lot of free time. I care for my grandma most weekdays, so I'm usually unavailable around her meal times. But other than that, I am usually available from 1pm to 6pm, and 7pm to 12am on weekdays. Weekends are the most flexible for me. Please don't hesitate to check with me. If you let me know your plans, I can usually modify my schedule to accommodate yours. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort. I follow the client’s instructions carefully, whether that’s a checklist, a routine, or specific steps for entering and locking up. While this is certainly a fun job, it is a job I also take seriously. I strive to treat you, your pet, and your house with the utmost respect. I know that having a new person in the home can be stressful for some pets. I adjust my body language and tone to match what they need; some pets want excitement and affection right away, while others prefer a quiet presence and space to warm up. I never force interactions and always build trust at their own pace. I carefully observe your pet’s body language and give them the kind of presence they need to feel safe, whether that’s gentle head pets, playtime, or just existing with them. I’m especially mindful of reactive or anxious pets and will always give them the space and patience they deserve. To me, trust is built by respecting your pet’s unique boundaries and needs without judgment.

“Kat has been a Godsend. She has been there last minute when we needed coverage and has changed our dog for the better!”

“Heidi took good care of my dog. Guala has just gotten spayed and I needed someone to watch her while I left town, Heidi watched her and gave her medicine. She updated me with messages and pictures, and my baby looked so happy. Her house was clean and looked safe for my dog. She is the most trustful person to leave your pets with. I am so happy with the care that she provide and now I know who to leave her with next time.”

About: I’ve had many different types of pets in my lifetime, and I learned that every animal should be treated like a unique being. With different traits and tempers, care for each animal should be individualized. I love getting to know a pet and fulfilling their needs as wells as gaining experience! I’m currently a college student and have a part time job, I work 3-6 Monday-Friday. This being said, I have plenty of time before or after the to walk/check on an animal. No pet need is an inconvenience to me! When walking a dog I make it an individual experience, only one dog at a time. Or on the occasion, dogs of the same household. When checking on pets inside their own home, I make sure to check for any sort of mess or area that a pet may escape from. A home security is very important to me, this means locking up properly and making sure the pet has all essentials.

About: Animals have always been a strong love of mine. Not only have I been a dog owner from the age of 3 and own 6 furbabies of my own, I have also been a horse owner, avid equestrian, and a 4H sheep owner that won Reserve Grand Champion 2 consecutive years showing them at the Kern County Fair. Providing the same love and care to your pets as I do my own is my top priority. Our pup’s didn’t earn the nickname of Man’s Best Friend out of nowhere and they deserve to be cherished, even when you need time away from home. I have experience in all ages and conditions including but not limited to: -New pups -Old pups -Blind pups -Diabetic pups I currently work full-time as a medical scribe with the goal of becoming a Physician Assistant. The great part? My workday starts early and ends early, leaving me with the perfect early morning, afternoon, and evening hours to dedicate to pet care. Daily walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles all fit smoothly into my routine, and I love having that quality time with pets after a busy morning. Weekends are even more flexible, which allows for longer stays, extra play, or extended house sitting when needed. Caring for animals brings a great balance to my week—and a lot of joy too! I treat your space with the same respect I treat my own. I keep things tidy, follow all routines to the letter, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I keep you updated with daily pics, videos, and little notes on how your pup is doing! When walking, I’m big on safety—leash rules, paw checks, water breaks, and always watching for dog’s body language. My goal is a happy, tired, and content pet after every visit.

About: As someone who has owned pets, I have years of experience in caring for both cats and dogs. When I could not locate a proper groomer for my shihtzu, I learned how cut my dogs hair and clip his nails. I have open availability so I can fit morning, afternoon, and nightly check ins, baths, walks, overnight sitting, and errands. I would love to spend as much time as I can making sure that your pet is well loved and taken care of. I don’t want to break an animal’s routine so if you have your pet on a schedule/routine, diet, or regiment of some sort, I plan to stick to that.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for the past two years and before that I had my own during childhood! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have short hours at work so I have plenty of time to walk and care for pets throughout the week! I’m also an early riser! My current roommate works long hours so I am the primary caretaker of his two dogs! I feel like their both our dogs at this point.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and now that I’m in the BEST years of that life (retired) I am able and ready to share all of my love and experience with new dogs and people! Although I can’t stay the night in your home, I CAN drop in, feed, play with, give snacks, even administer medication if needed, walk, and when it’s time for them to go to bed, make sure they are all tucked into bed. I can assure you that your fur baby will be loved and comfortable while your away- They will be treated with the love I give my own! As a retired person, I am living the dream, being a stay at home mom of fur children…let me love yours too! I am retired but my day starts with my three dogs at 5 in the morning, Everything I do revolves around them. They go out to use the bathroom then eat and come back in to sleep until around 7:30 then our actual day begins. Each Doodle goes on a mile and a half walk then my little pug, Sophia goes on her walk. Shes a senior so she only goes for as long as she can. This is a daily routine. They LOVE being outside so we spend almost all day outside on the patio playing when it’s nice…. They all love riding in the car so EVERYBODY at the bank, CVS, Dewars,Starbucks knows them by name. Where I go, they go! They have their spots in the car and they know their places. My kids are grown but I am definitely NOT an empty nester, they are my life and fulfill me 100%. For their safety with all the craziness happening in the world, as much as they love being outside, they are NEVER left outside when I am not home. They are brought inside and have been crate trained since they were 7 weeks old. It is their safe place and they love their crates. It’s where they sleep and where they eat too.

“Glenda took phenomenal care of our Maya. She stopped by before the first visit just to get to know Maya a bit… we came home a few days later to a happy, calm and relaxed Belgian Malinois. This is a big deal! She’s a natural dog whisperer, trustworthy and prompt. Thank you, Glenda!”

Kathryn M.

“Wendi is amazing! By far, the best pup sitter we have used! She always gives us detailed accounts of how our dogs enjoyed the visit, along with tons of pics! She always goes above and beyond, often spending more time with our dogs than her scheduled thirty minute visit. We trust her in our home and with our pups,and she is simply the greatest, can’t say enough positive things!”

About: I have had a dog of my own for 6 years now. Some more in past years. I have taken care of my friends and families pets for years now. Pets can be scared and intimidating but I know that with my love and patience with pets they do become comfortable with me. I work with kids, but my schedule is really flexible and I have breaks in between each client which gives me the opportunity to check up on pets. I have a fenced yard with two dogs. One of them is Charlie, a poodle/shih tzu, who is super sweet and the other dog is my sisters, who is a Rottweiler named Blue. Blue and Charlie are both sweet dogs. Blue is very energetic and playful and has never been aggressive as well as Charlie. Charlie mainly stays in my room in his kennel and Blue stays separated from the backyard and stays in the side area or in his kennel in the garage. All pets have always been separated but do give them opportunities to play with each other often and supervised.

“Tatum was awesome with my pitbull! I requested last minute for her to check in on him and walk him for 4th of July weekend, and she came to meet him before and get aquatinted with everything that I was needing. She was very quick with communication and helpful to teach me how everything on Rover worked since this was my first time. I highly recommend her to work with your pups if you ever need!”
