“Heidi took good care of my dog. Guala has just gotten spayed and I needed someone to watch her while I left town, Heidi watched her and gave her medicine. She updated me with messages and pictures, and my baby looked so happy. Her house was clean and looked safe for my dog. She is the most trustful person to leave your pets with. I am so happy with the care that she provide and now I know who to leave her with next time.”


About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and I care deeply for them. I adopted my first dog, a GSD, 7 years ago and adopted my second 4 years ago. I also have experience with senior dogs as I have a 13 year old Chihuahua. I feel very comfortable caring for big dogs and taking on the responsibilities that come with them. You can rest assured that your fur babies are safe with me! I currently only work part-time and am able to devote a large portion of time to caring for your pets. I am available for overnight stays and can check in multiple times a day to make sure your pet is cared for. I am very responsible and while pet sitting in clients’ homes I ensure to follow whatever instructions they leave for me. I want you to feel secure in knowing that I’m caring for your pets just as you would.

About: I am a teacher with extra time to help with any pet sitting - last minute or planned ahead! I am willing to travel to others homes to feed your pets, take them on walks, give them baths or whatever is needed! Over the summer I will have many weekdays and weekends completely open for pet sitting jobs. Beginning mid August, I teach full time in an elementary school 8-3:30. Whatever your safety rules are, I will adhere to. Having taken care of babies as well for many years, I have a high sense of safety when someone's precious cargo is in my hands.

About: As someone who has owned pets, I have years of experience in caring for both cats and dogs. When I could not locate a proper groomer for my shihtzu, I learned how cut my dogs hair and clip his nails. I have open availability so I can fit morning, afternoon, and nightly check ins, baths, walks, overnight sitting, and errands. I would love to spend as much time as I can making sure that your pet is well loved and taken care of. I don’t want to break an animal’s routine so if you have your pet on a schedule/routine, diet, or regiment of some sort, I plan to stick to that.

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.

About: I was raised with animals and I have always loved to take care of them. I have two dogs and a cat myself, and I have had many different dog breeds throughout my life. I currently go to school so on the weekdays I am available during the afternoon and on the weekends I am available all day any time. I have a fence around my house and I do have a dog to keep your fur baby company and I can easily take care of your pet.

About: I have loved taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. Much of my experience comes from taking care of my own dogs. I love all types of dogs. First dogs I fell in love with were 2 big dogs, a German Shepard and a mixed retriever. I loved the responsibility of taking care of them. As the years went by my big dogs needed a big space and I had to let them go. I knew from then on that taking care of dogs was going to be a passion. I have so much love for these beautiful dogs I've had the privilege to take care for. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. From neighbors, friends, and family. They have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work from home so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can also easily keep my dog in another room if your pup is not comfortable around other dogs.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from dogs to rabbits. I have been a huge animal lover since I was a kid. I had a friend once joke and say that my pets had better health insurance than her because of how much I loved and cared for my pets. Clients, friends and family always ask me first if I can take care of their pets when they are gone. I am always reliable and love their pets as my own. I will let your dogs out for potty breaks in between my day at work. They will get unconditional love and attention. My best friend is my pug. My fur babies are my children and will treat your pet the same way. I’m self employed running my own business that has busy days and slow days. If I am responsible for the care of someone’s animals I will make sure to schedule around their care. Potty breaks, food and attention will be considered first. I am a very easy going and responsible person. I have a fenced yard and a doggy door. My pug is the biggest social butterfly and welcomes anyone who comes in our home including cats. She was raised with cats so she loves them like they are her people. Haha She loves to have new doggy friends too. I spoil her like crazy so your pet will be given the same attention and care. I take their safety very seriously. If you have rules for your pet in your home I will abide by those rules.

About: I have taken care of various fur babies for over 2 years, including 1 that is mine full-time. I promise above all to take care of your fur baby so that he/she feels safe and comfortable. I am currently a student so besides school I have a free schedule to take properly take care of your fur babies. I am also available weekends and sometimes even same-day! I have 2 fur babies super friendly and always wanting to play. They can be inside and free and can also be outside and free, we have a very secure gate in the front and back.

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.”
