“Kelly was punctual, professional, and updated some great pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I am very satisfied! Will definitely book Kelly in the future.”

“I had the best first experience using the Rover app all because of Kayla. Her calm demeanor made my dogs and cats trust her almost immediately. She was incredibly thorough through the first initial visit and knew all the right questions to ask if I missed something. I will absolutely be rebooking with her. Incredibly happy that I have a trustworthy babysitter because that’s what she is. An incredible babysitter for my fur babies!”

“Barbara is currently sitting for my dogs, I am still out of town. I will leave another review once I am home. I am trying to figure out how to leave a tip, because she goes way above and beyond. For all of the work and help she is doing for my dogs while I am gone is incredible, so I just want to throw her a tip because she more than deserves it.”

“Steve is amazing! He was thorough, on time, and went above and beyond by cleaning up and dealing with a malfunctioning automatic litter box. My cats seemed happy and healthy when I got back from my trip.”

About: I have taken care of many different species of animals since I was a child; such as birds, cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and rabbits. I can provide senior care as well. My neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on my service over the years. I am currently unemployed so I can focus on my time on your beloved pet any day of the week. I don't need very much notice to take care of your pet. I try to maintain the same environment that your pets are used to. I will stay on the same meal time schedule that they are normally on. Same with potty breaks and walks.

“Marci was incredible with our girl Eris. It was very clear from the pictures that our girl LOVED spending time with Marci. We will absolutely book her again when we have another trip!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Whitney was fantastic! Super attentive and friendly—she kept me updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was seamless, and it was clear she really cared about making sure the pups were comfortable and happy. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“Breanna was great with my Millie dog. I was very apprehensive to book drop-in doggy visits because my Millie dog can be protective and not welcoming to anyone new in her yard and house. Breanna let Millie warm up to her on Millie's terms and Breanna even brought some of her doggies to play with Millie, with permission of course. I will definitely book drop-in visits with Breanna again for Millie. Thank you Breanna, you have made this stressful situation for us seamless and uneventful. Millie looks forward to having you stop by again especially if you bring one of your doggies to play.”

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: Hi, I’m Dominie! I offer loving home-style boarding with 2 daily walks and plenty of updates. Your dog will feel right at home. My pet care journey began with two amazing dogs- Lucky (a Lab) and Mills (a pug-chihuahua mix) whom I cared for daily over 3 years. From walks to meals, playtime to cuddles, I became part of their world and realized how much I truly enjoy caring for animals. What sets me apart is the personalized care & constant companionship your dog will receive. I work from home, so your 🐶 will never be left alone. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times to fit your schedule. Need help with transport? I offer convenient pick-up and drop-off for a small mileage-based fee. Just sit back and I’ll handle the drive! 🚗🐾 Pet care fits really well into my daily schedule since I work from home. I have the flexibility to take pets out for walks, play, or potty breaks throughout the day. I have a gated front yard that’s great for safe, supervised outdoor time. A typical day looks like: 🐾Morning walks around 7am to start the day with energy and excitement. 🐾Potty breaks every 2 hours. 🐾Midday play sessions during my work breaks (I’m always up for a game of fetch!) 🐾Evening walks around 6pm to wind down the day. 🐾Plenty of snuggles, affection, and supervision. Whether your 🐶 is playful or prefers a chill day indoors, I adapt to their needs and comfort level. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

“Poppy always enjoys her visits from Joshua and their walks to the park. I always get videos or pictures so that I know she is doing well.. He takes great care of our sweet pup!”

About: I have experience walking big dogs as well as small dogs ranging from Great Danes to chihuahuas, I also grew up around big and small dogs including chihuahuas, German shepherds, pit bulls, and golden retrievers I am currently going to school online so I have a lot of free time during the day and night so I would love to help someone out and have something to do!! My home has a fenced in backyard and i could keep pet inside if preferred. In your home I will have no problem keeping up with your rules both inside and outside

“Jeanette is local to me and was very pleasant and easy to talk to. We have cameras so I was able to track her visits and watch her spend time with the dogs. Our agreement was to just feed my 2 dogs twice a day, but she went above and beyond. She brought my mail and packages into my garage and spent time playing with our German Shepherd and Beagle. She was "on Task" and on time every day. I would definitely use her again.”

“Wendy is amazing! We booked her for 3 days, 3 visits a day. I have never left my dogs in anyone’s care before. I chose Wendy for visits in my home instead of boarding because I’m very particular with my boys. I have also never left anyone access to my home. Wendy always came on time to check my boys at the times requested. She fed, walked and played with them. She always kept me updated with pictures and messaged me. She let me know what they were doing and how they were behaving. She also has great judgement with the boys and watched them after play time to regulate their breathing before leaving. She also made sure they drank their water. She kept my home clean from slobber and cleaned up when one of them threw up a little. My home was exactly as I left it, and so were my boys. Seriously gave me comfort knowing that my boys were in good hands. I will always be booking Wendy in any future times I need to leave.”

About: Growing up, I had two dogs starting at age 10, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding canine behavior and needs. I learned how to train them, manage their energy levels, and ensure they were well-socialized. Since moving out on my own at 18, I've continued my passion for pet care by having one dog and one cat. This experience has allowed me to develop skills in caring for multiple types of pets, including feeding, grooming, and providing companionship. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always ensure that my home is a secure environment, free from hazards, and I’m vigilant during walks to keep them safe from traffic and other dangers. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, and administering any necessary medications while keeping a close eye on their well-being. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your pets, ensuring they feel at home while you’re away. I currently work a full time job. However Im still available every weekend , weekday and holidays for walks , check ins and more ! I always ensure that my home is secure, checking for any potential hazards like open windows, toxic plants, or small objects they could swallow. I keep cleaning supplies and other harmful substances out of reach. When it comes to playtime, I use safe toys and supervise their play to prevent any accidents. I also make sure to provide a safe space for them to retreat to, especially if they feel stressed or overwhelmed. During walks or outdoor time, I’m very cautious about their surroundings, ensuring they are kept on a leash if necessary, and I monitor them closely at all times. I’m experienced in administering medications and keeping track of their health, ensuring they stay safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a loving and secure environment for your pet, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.

“Great communication! Very informative and trusting. Glad we found her! Our pup was happy too!”

About: I may not have a ton of professional experience, but I've been surrounded by animals since I was young. I've had many pets of my own, and I've always made sure they were well taken care of. So even though I may not have formal training, my love and dedication to animals make me a reliable and caring sitter. Your furry friend will be in good hands with me! Taking care of pets is a priority in my daily routine. I make sure to set aside dedicated time for feeding, walking, and playing with them. Whether it's daily walks or regular playtime, I make sure to provide the love and attention they need. Pets are an important part of my life, so their care is always a top priority for me! In my own home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for pets, providing them with food, water, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions, maintaining their routines, and providing the same level of care and attention. Whether it's in my home or theirs, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets I care for.

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.

About: I have been a reliable dog sitter and house sitter for nearly a decade. Previously, I was also a frequent foster provider for dogs from the Bakersfield animal shelter. I have an energetic but well trained Australian Shepherd with whom I stay very active, as well as a yard with ample space for dogs to run and play. My current job is very flexible, leaving me ample time to spend with your pup. My husband works primarily from home, and we work together to ensure that quality care and ample attention is given to your furry friend during their stay. I put a strong emphasis on enrichment activities and helping the dogs stay active. I have a lot of experience in helping dogs to adjust to new environments, and I work hard to make your dog feel safe and comfortable by introducing them slowly to their surroundings, then slowly introducing them to my dog.
