When I dropped Beau off I had forgotten a water bowl and Jess had extra supplies for all my pups needs. During beaus time with Jess I got as many updates as requested and there was very clear communication and a timely response which help kill off the anxiety of leaving my pup! When I came for pick up Beau was so happy go lucky! Definitely huge shout out to Jess for taking care of my pup and keeping him company and happy!”


About: For over 15 years, I have been a dedicated pet owner. I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including birds, cats, dogs, and reptiles. My schedule is wide open since I work from home, and so does my husband. That means your dog will have constant care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, or just reassuring presence, we're here to provide a loving and safe environment with plenty of one-on-one time. We have a big fenced and structured yard giving your dog plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely. Whether they love zoomies, sunbathing, or just sniffing around, they'll have the freedom to enjoy the outdoors while staying safe. With constant supervision and lots of playtime, your dog will have a fun and enriching experience.

About: Dogs have been an interest to me since I was young. I can't recall a moment my home without one. I've cared for dogs of several different breeds, temperament, and intelligence. In grooming, I have experience in bathing, brushing, trimming and cutting fur of several varieties and styles. I've done ear cleaning, clipping/grinding nails, dematting fur, and checking and removing plant debris from paws. For exercise/stimulation, my experience is in walking, sprinting, toy play, and training basic commands. For medication, some experience is in medication administration (orally and injections), saline IV administration, ear ointment application and heart-congestion monitoring. I can follow specific medication timings as well as specific instructions to administer medication, from crushing pills to measuring and injecting saline IV. Also have experiece in providing accommodation for low mobility dogs, dogs suffering form specific physical conditions, or dogs suffering from anxiety. In dog nutrition, I am very aware of what dogs are able to digest and what is harmful for their health. There is extreme care with foods that are potentially dangerous to dogs. For their diets, I have experience in making and accommodated several different diets for dogs. Diets that I've had to accommodate are, kidney disease, whole food, meat only, puppy tailored, grain free, whole grain, low protein, and seafood. There is only one type of diet I am against and will NOT accommodate is the vegetarian dog diet. I have high experience to accommodate senior dogs. I've personally Raises 4 dogs into their senior years, two 17 year old, one 14 year, and one 12. With that I have experience in common conditions for elderly dogs, such as cataracts, mobility issues, trick knees, cancer, kidney disease, heart-congestion and more. As an avid weightlifter, I can manage dogs much stronger and larger than average dog. I am able to assist loading and unloading dogs up to 180lbs. I can protect extra small dogs from much larger breeds. Owning a 5lb chihuahua gave me experience on how to disengage and manage larger breeds that come into their personal space. I am currently part time and have a flexible schedule. Majority of my free time is after 3pm during all weekdays and mostly free during weekends. I can do certain times during the weekdays, just need to be notified a day before. My home has a fenced backyard that is cleaned 2x daily from dog waste. There are four other dogs, with one having a dominant personality and another being a very playful puppy. Both dogs can be separated from yours if they require a calmer environment. All four dogs are trained by me to behave, as well as barriers are all around the house to prevent unnecessary or unwanted interactions. Dogs will have a safe, solitary area provided to be able to retreat to if they need to. Dogs have 24hr access to clean water that is changed three times daily. Feedings are 1-3 times daily, depending on requirements and preferences. Dogs in our household usually eat a high meat, freshly cooked, and nutritious diet and occasionally eat kibble. Specific foods, diets and supplements can be easily accommodated for your or your dog's preferences/requirements. I've had lots of experiece with picky eaters as well.

About: I’ve taken care of family dogs for a few years. I will work with any accommodations you may have. I understand that your pet is your family and they will be treated as such in our home. I work from home so I am able to care for your pet and they will not be left alone. We have a big back yard they can run around in and lots of love to share with your pet! I have a fenced yard and a dog that will enjoy the company of your pet. The yard is big enough to run around and have fun

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.

“I would 100% recommend Maria because she takes care of our dog and she takes good care of her and she is very affectionate with the dogs and always kept us informed about our dog.”

“Highly recommend her! My family and I always worry on who we leave our dog with, we try to look for the best person that can fit oreo. She was very nice and did send me many photos of him while on his stay. My family and I know when our dog feels sacred of the person, and when she sended us photos our dog looked happy and relaxed. And especially her doggos who are also very nice. I know for sure my dog enjoyed his stayed there!”

About: Old, young, doesn’t matter, they have my full attention. Whatever they need they get, let me give you peace of mind when they’re with me!

And 1 dog, I can walk your pet if you’d like and definitely play with them! Whatever you need done!

“Josh was very communicative and helpful. We rarely have someone else watch our dog because he can be a handful but Josh did an amazing job. Super grateful for him picking up and dropping Mamba off. He even got Starbucks!”


“Our dogs had a wonderful stay with Natalia! They came back happy and we loved the photo updates throughout the evening. 10/10 would trust her with our dogs again.”


About: I love and have cared for dogs since I was 15, I have patience for any breed and I have open availability. My most recent dog I cared for is a pug. He was a puppy and I trained him how to go on the pee pads and when he got a little older we went for walks. I always go for walks, always make sure the puppy/dog gets enough attention, food and water. I have watched all sizes of breeds from chihuahua to a husky, unfortunately because I just moved into an apartment I could not watch bigger breeds from home but I am always willing to drive to you! I am super reliable, very trustworthy and respectful. Thank you for reading, I hope to hear from you soon!

Jennifer C.
“Jennifer is truly one of a kind. She was my go-to person for my dog, Phoebe - a 4.5-pound chihuahua I adopted from the Humane Society. Honestly, she was a huge part of the reason I ended up adopting Phoebe in the first place. Phoebe was only supposed to be a one-night foster but through Jennifer's patience and experience, she became my forever friend and I can't imagine life without Phoebe! Jennifer gave me the confidence to adopt Phoebe. Initially, I was overwhelmed, but Jennifer patiently guided me through everything. From potty training to daily routines, she showed me the ropes with kindness, calm, and a great sense of humor. Her gentle and steady presence rubbed off on Phoebe, who developed the sweetest, most laid-back personality—a rare trait for a chihuahua! I fully credit Jennifer for that. What sets Jennifer apart is her intuition and attentiveness. She always went above and beyond—like taking Phoebe out to sunbathe just because she knew it made her happy. I never had to ask—Jennifer just knew. She’s incredibly reliable, communicates just the right amount, and was always flexible with scheduling, even on short notice. Phoebe absolutely adores her, and so do I. Anyone who hires Jennifer is not just getting a dog sitter—they're getting someone who will treat your pup like her own. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
