4. Jess H.

“It was my first time ever using Rover. I was a bit skeptical but Jess took care of me and Beau. Answered all my questions and concerns prior to meet up. Jess was flexible with our time and date. 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!”

9. Jeanette V.
“I can’t recommend my mom enough as a dog sitter. She has a natural way with animals—kind, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I’ve grown up with pets my entire life because of her, and she’s the one who taught me how to care for them with love, patience, and respect. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even the occasional rescue, she made sure every animal in our home was not only cared for but truly loved. She’s also one of the cleanest and most organized people I know, which makes a big difference when someone is trusting you with their home and their pets. She pays attention to every detail—making sure dogs are fed on time, walked regularly, and given plenty of affection and playtime. She treats every pet like they’re part of the family, because to her, they are. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and experienced to care for your dog, my mom is the perfect choice. Your pup will be in the best hands.”

They love when she comes to watch them as she gives them lots of snuggles and playtime. She is also very responsible with feeding and any medications needs - as well as firm with executing any behavior instructions (sit, stay, down, no jumping).

About: Hi my name is Courtney, I am a Bakersfield resident and currently work part time around the corner from my house. I’ve been dog sitting friends dogs the last few years to help them out, this year I’ve been dog sitting for friends of friends. Since I have the time I wanted to provide my dog sitting services to others who are in need of a sitter since I enjoy it and it feels like second nature. I am currently working part time and have plenty of time to care for your pup. I will walk, and provide plenty of pets for your fur baby. I have a clean pet friendly home to keep your pup comfortable and safe. I can keep your dog on your schedule and provide medication if needed.

19. Kaitlyn H.
About: As a dog owner of 12 years I have all the qualifications and experience to care for your animal(s). I grew up in a household with 6 dogs who were the highlights of our life. I walk my own two dogs daily and provide them with the best care to my ability. Looking forward to meeting/caring for your pet/pets. I am an online college student so this gives me an open schedule when it comes to proving pet care. I have an open schedule and am willing to accommodate to any needs. I have a fenced area in my condo where your dog will have space to use the restroom, run, etc. My two dogs are extremely friendly. Brody is a puppy so he has lots of energy, if your dog needs space I’m able to separate them during the duration of your pets stay. As far as in-home care, I will provide whatever care necessary. I’m able to walk, take them out, feed, check-ins, night stays, etc (just ask)
