“Kelly was amazing! She was punctual, super communicative, and sent me daily updates with the cutest picture of my two fur babies. My kitten had just been spayed and was wearing a cone — Kelly was so gentle and attentive, taking it off for meals and putting it back on afterward. I felt totally at ease knowing my two fur babies were in such caring hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Nalani is a great pet sitter. My cats were well taken care of, and I received updates throughout their stay. I returned from my trip to find them happy, healthy, and reluctant to leave. Would recommend Nalani to anyone in need of boarding a pet!”

About: I’ve had a lot of pets in my past from large and small dogs to cat from every age. I currently have a dog and a cat. I am currently a student doing online classes at Indiana state where I play basketball. I have a great sense of time management and taking your pet would give something to look forward to after a hard day. I have dog park near by and a very social dog to get your pet some nice company. He’s about a year old and he’s a gentle giant.

About: What sets me a part of the fact that I owned a vet rescue with as many as 45 cats and 25 dogs. Definitely under understand how to take care of cats and dogs. I currently am not working staying at home taking care of the home. I have plenty of time to care for animals. I have years and years of experience, taking care of animals since I did have a pet rescue at one time. I have two cats and two dogs. My environment is very pet friendly and safe. I previously owned a rescue which I had 45 cats and 21 dogs so I’m definitely capable of taking care of your sweet pet.

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!”


“First time using rover and Haley went above and beyond expectations to make us feel at ease leaving our cats alone while we visited family. The process was easy and fast, would definitely go through Haley again! We got wonderful pictures of our cats as well. We could not be happier with your service!”


About: I have 3 dogs (2 small/1 large), 3 cats (kitten/senior) and a desert tortoise. I have enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family in the past. This has included pet sitting with small puppies needing more frequent potty breaks or more extensive care. In my free time I volunteer at Kern County Animal Services through their Streets of Bakersfield program. I am currently a full time online student so my schedule is very flexible! I am available for check ins throughout the day and can adjust to your pet’s needs. In the past, I have cared for animals that need medication, are crate trained, have timed/specific feeding rituals, use potty pads, and need potty breaks at specific times. All of my animals have different personalities (and rules!) so I am more than happy to meet all of your dogs needs.

Tina C.
“Our dog, Sherman, is an older Jack Russell Terrier and Chihuahua mix who can be quite difficult. He is a bit spoiled and tends to run away. Tina has dog sat Sherman many times and has mastered his life. When he is with her, he obeys and generally does what he is told to do. Sherman was cared for by Tina for a week. When she returned him to us at our home, we greeted Sherman at the front door, and he was joyful at being back. But after about 30 seconds, Sherman stopped jumping and barking and ran back to Tina to sadly bid her goodbye. So, it is fair to say that Sherman loves her and recommends Tina as a dog sitter. And so do we.”


Vanessa M.
“During our 21 year old, senior cat’s last days, Vanessa ensured our cat was comforted and cared for. Our loving senior was fed, loved, and watched after with the utmost attention and care. We know it is harder for people to want to care for senior animals as they have become fragile, sedentary, and overall have lost their young cuteness. Vanessa instead let our sweet angel take her time, playing with and petting her gently. She also made sure our tiny senior was fed around the clock, making sure to prepare her special diet thoroughly (she had oral surgery twice with teeth removed both time). I would recommend Vanessa for all animal needs. She is intuitive, attentive, and meets all demands you might have for your fur baby.”

I've never been worried when I'm away because I am always assured to know that my pets are in good hands. There is no other person more reliable and attentive, Jillian is the best!”


Zach & Jacqueline L.
“Zach and Jackie are perfect for Rover! They’re house is very safe, spacious, and the backyard is secure. They are lovely, warm, and inviting people. They have watched my mom’s pets for her a few times while going out of town and we trust them very much with our loved one. Would highly recommend!”
