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.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs—whether they’re an energetic puppy, a senior with special care requirements, or somewhere in between. I’m comfortable with administering medications, monitoring health, and providing lots of playtime, walks, and snuggles. With me, your furry family member will be in safe, loving, and capable hands while you’re away. 💛 Pet care is naturally part of my day—I’m always making time for feeding, walks, play, and cuddle breaks.

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)”

Grace O.
“🐾 Grace O. is a gem! Grace looked after my two corgis and two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a more attentive and loving caretaker. She made it clear that my pets were not only safe, but genuinely cared for. Grace even noticed the quirky habits of each of my cats—one is shy and prefers quiet corners, while the other is a curious troublemaker. She handled their differences with ease and affection. Coming home to happy pets and a tidy space was the cherry on top. It’s rare to find someone so responsible and warm-hearted. Grace truly has a gift, and I’d trust her again in a heartbeat.”
