Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in La Cresta-Altavista, Bakersfield, CA

About: I am a true advocate for our four legged babies because they don’t have a voice. So I will go above and beyond for your furry baby. I cared for an older dog that was severely injured from being hit by a car, and needed special care including administration of medication, to experiencing my Roxi going through pregnancy and birth of 5 puppies and the joy raising a puppy which was one of the puppies and his name is Ace. You tell me what you want, and I will follow your expectations. If you have small dogs, Im the perfect fit for you. Dont take your et to these other sitters that provide large backyard, own big dogs themselves and risk bringing in fleas, ticks and possibly parvo from digging and playing outside.i only host 2 dogs a day/night and if you have a special request, you can have a private booking where no other dogs are being cared for during your pet’s stay, so you feel at peace while you are away. Your furry baby will stay inside with me, and be able to roam freely around the house, i have doggy steps to all furniture, including the bed! I have monitors that allow me to monitor your pet at all times 24/7. My home is clean, up to date with pest control, my pets are current on vaccines including influenza and covid . Im willing to accommodate for you to enjoy your time away from your pet. This includes you coming FROM out of town to events such as funerals, weddings, family gatherings where there might be other not-so-friendly pets. Provide your yourself and your pet peace of mind and a safe place to stay for these types of events. Even if its just a few hours to go out with friends. Don’t leave them home alone. They can come play with us! Very friendly, love to play. Although i have my prefences listed, there are exceptions do don’t hesitate to contact me and let’s talk. Rescue pets and puppies are welcomed. I ask that you bring their favorite toy, the bed they sleep in and please please bring the food they normally eat. They most likely will experience separation anxiety which possibly can cause upset stomach and diarrhea which goes away after 72 hours, so changing the food they eat during their stay will worsen it. All pets eat during meal time and separate locations throughout the house until they are finished. At any time, if something occurs that I feel as a pet owner I would want to know right away about it, I do not hesitate to contact you so that you are aware of the situation. Some examples: your pet jumped off the sofa and landed on their jaw, your pet started vomiting, your pet is showing symptoms of distress, your pet was play fighting with another pet and ended up with a laceration on its skin, are some examples that could happen during your pets stay here. I take it very serious when your pet’s behavior has changed suddenly. None of these have taken place while under my care, But understand, I don’t hesitate to contact you Note: Puppy rates override additional pet rates And if your pet isn't potty trained, please bring pee pads. Notify me if your four legged friend is not fully potty trained. It doesn’t change anything. I just want to be prepared. Im certified at administering CPR to your pet and currently taking courses to be a certified boarder with the American Kennel Club. My pets are my kids and i will treat yours the same way. Loving, cuddling, back massaging, tummy rubbing are all free here!!!🐾🥰❤️🐕‍🦺🦮🐩🐕🐈🐈‍⬛🫶🏼 From September to December and January to June, I board and doggie daycare on weekends and ALL HOLIDAYS. I’m flexible on the drop off/pickup time but understand if its after the time of drop off, it will be considered at the extended rate for going pass that time. For example, if you dropped your furry baby off at 3 PM on Friday and you don’t pick your pet up until 8 PM on Sunday you will get charged an extended rate for the time from 3- 8 pm. If you need to modify any thing regarding the times, please notify me at the time of the booking so that we are on the same page and I can make accommodations to meet your needs. Thank you.

My goal in caring for your pet is to provide an environment that is conducive to their comfort and happiness while you’re away. Your rules will be followed, whether it be in your home or in my home. I live alone and, therefore, my focus and attention is all on your pet. I only care for dogs in my home. I provide plenty of photos and videos for you throughout their stay, i can FaceTime for you to interact with them where you can also talk to your pet for reassurance when your dog is to be cared by me in My Home. Currently Kern county dog parks are having an increase number of parvo cases, so i will not walk the Dogs there.

About: From the time I was born there has always been a animal in the house. I have own or care for some really Exotic animals. From a Von Derk Decken Hornbill to a pony. I want to be that pet sitter who will send you pictures or answer your questions at really random hours. If your going on a trip on the other side of the world. I want to be the person who doesn't have open and closing hours. I believe animals should wear Identification at all times when in a new place. That leachs should be on before door are ever unlocked. Cats in carries before doors are unlocked. I have two dogs of my own and I love taking them with me and will plane trips around them going but some times they just can't go. I hate asking family or friends to watch them because I don't think anyone is as over bearing as me and will not watch them like I do lol. So I want to be that person for other people too. So I work 12 hour shifts on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday from 5pm to 5:30am. I am OK with taking pets those days but I just need people to know at night I'll have to put them up. In my house my dogs are played and watched around the clock. We work on simple task and training. Seen my basset hound is still young we are working on potty training. We go to the vet over the smallest things because I am that crazy dog mom lol. Mostly we play and play and play. At other people houses we follow their rules to a T. If pets need to be brushed then we brush. If pets need boil water then filter throw a tear bag then we do it. I want to do it how you do it so it doesn't stress them. So when you come home you animal is safe and happy and healthy.

“Callie is absolutely amazing, I know my fur babies are in good hands when she is caring for them. She makes sure to give them extra love in my absence and I truly feel she loves my fur babies herself. She keeps me updated on anything happening around the house as well. I would definitely recommend her”

About: I have loved animals and helped look after them since I was 9years old. More recently I have spent time house sitting and dog sitting for friends and friends of friends and I loved it so much I wanted to continue doing it! I have a 16year old rescue dog, so I understand how to look after more special needs animals through caring for her as she has aged. I am a full time nursing student currently working on my pre-requisites. I have an open and flexible schedule because I have chosen online coursework. Knowing your pets normal schedule, their habits, when and how much they eat as well as any dietary allergies helps me insure that your pet is loved exactly the way they are used to being loved! I have cared for German Shepherds, Chow chows, Pomeranians and other more high needs dogs and I love to cater to their specific needs 💗

“I love having Shelby stay with my pet. She was always on time. Sat and spent time with her. Took her on walks and just lived in her. Shelby is awesome and I will most definitely be hiring her in the future.”

“Emily has sat for me in the past and did an exceptional job ensuring my pets were taken care of. She took them on walks and came to the house frequently to make sure they were able to go potty and had enough play time and attention. She also followed their feeding schedule well and was very hands on with each of my dogs”

“Great updates and communication. Came home to happy pups!”

About: I will treat you dog the way I would want my own dogs to be treated. Parks runs and short trips around town would be given. Gromming dogs and brushing their teeth would not be a problem for me . ( request and pay extra grooming fee) I currently work remote but do have to leave home some days. I am in a slower season with my work right now as it is June so I am home almost all days so taking care of clients brightens my day and we keep each other company Whatever schedule or rules you have for your home I will follow. I have no problem letting your dogs out to pee following feeding times and playing around in the backyard

“Susan has watched my senior Puggle, Toulouse, on many occasions! She has always taken such great care of him and he’s always very excited to see her. Susan has fostered many dogs over the years and has worked with animals off and on most of her life, she has a ton of knowledge! I have consulted her more than once on issues I was concerned about with my dog and she was able to offer sound and educated advice. Susan will definitely treat your pets like her own!”

“Coming from the Veterinary field, Eva works extremely well with animals. For short while, I lived with Eva and many times did she babysit my troublesome cat, Teddy. Eva did make sure to feed him twice a day, made sure he had fresh water and gave him lots of TLC. Normally, Teddy is very antisocial with everyone except for me but Teddy made an exception with Eva.”

“Danielle is an amazing sitter and by the time i came home they were in love with her. Nothing but facts when i say this is the best sitter you will find”

“Pups looked like there taking care of. Good communication as well!”
