Dog Walking in Lakeview, Bakersfield, CA

“Just finished our first three days and Suzie is doing a great job with our two dogs. They warmed up to her right away and are so excited to see her. Suzie is handling our nervous mix wonderfully. I’m confident and comfortable with Suzie’s ability to handle both dogs in a neighborhood with lots of other dog walkers. Knowing the pups are in capable hands brings or family great comfort ❤️👍🐕🐶👏”

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: I’ve had many dogs and cats while growing up and with that, I’ve had to take careful care of them in their senior years with medications and their overall well-being. I’ve always been trusted to dog sit overnight at friend’s and family’s houses throughout the years. I am a 2nd year nursing student and currently have the summer off from school leaving me plenty of free time for watching and taking care of animals. My main priority with this job is pet safety of course. I’m very cautious when taking them on walks and when they are around unfamiliar dogs.

“Lindsay was very prompt with communication and my pup and kitty looked very happy after her visit! I will be using Lindsay’s services in the future!”

About: While I haven’t had formal pet care experience, I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always taken care of my own pets. I understand how important it is to give them love, attention, and consistent care. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of affection. I may not have professional training, but I’m reliable, gentle, and genuinely care about the well-being of animals. I treat every pet like family! I currently work part-time at Chipotle, which gives me plenty of free time to care for your little ones. I’m available in the mornings, early afternoons, and on weekends! When visiting a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions to keep their pet safe and comfortable. I always double-check that doors and gates are secure, and I pay close attention to the pet’s behavior and surroundings during walks and playtime. I believe in building trust through patience, gentle handling, and creating a calm, fun environment where your pet feels safe and cared for

About: I grew up living with different types of pets and have a degree in animal science. I have also fostered and volunteered at animal shelters I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. I'm available any time on weekdays and some weekends I have a fenced yard, space and friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If needed I have crates for your pups to use

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 am a Fear Free certified veterinary technician of 13 years who grew up in the show dog world (AKC) before getting into rescue as an adult. Throughout my long-lived animal career I have participated in puppy/kitten/basic obedience training, behavioral rehabilitation, dog sport training, senior care, care for animals with extreme medical needs, and owned/operated a group play doggie daycare. My jobs, hobbies, and passions are all centered around animals and I can't wait to bring that passion to you! I am home full-time, and available for puppies and animals with heavy needs. I have a fairly set schedule for all of the pets in my care, and that level of routine provides comfort to even the most nervous of pups. I am the only Fear Free pet carer in Bakersfield! I provide comforting classical music as well as calming pheromones in the sleeping spaces to make their stay as stress-free as possible. I have a fenced yard and never leave dogs together unsupervised. I do not provide an environment suitable for animals with a history of dog aggression. Small dogs I can be more flexible with, as their attitude usually comes from a place of fear and that is something I can work with for the little guys.

“Joshua is a breath of fresh air for me and my poopers! He is extremely reliable, responsible and amazing with my doggos. You can tell he loves animals and mine sure do love him. He is so kind and respectful to them. (For example, this is one of many) My little girl is a stubborn puppy, he is so calm with her in his commands . He will tell her "no ma'am" in the nicest voice, when she jumps on him. This may be a small thing for some, but lemme tell you, she is as stubborn as they get. Additionally, he works on training them, on my puppies dominance issues, utilizing commands, and leash training. Honestly, I lucked out. He really goes above and beyond. If you need a person who is going to love your babies and reliably show up, Joshua is your man. I've been with Rover for over 5 years and Joshua supersedes the rest. I've always been satisfied, with Joshua I am elated!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I'D GIVE MORE IF THAT WAS A THING)”

About: Pretty much all of my life I’ve had a pet or two within my household. My first pet I remember clearly have a lot of responsibilities for was a cat I had when I was around 7. I would feed her, clean her litter box, and overall assist my family with caring for her. A couple years later I got a Golden Retriever and it was this dog that showed me how much I love animals. Once again I was always willing to help with her care, taking her for walks, giving her baths, and brushing her hair whenever needed. Now I have two dogs that I take extension care of and that I love to death. I bathe them, feed them, play with and take for walks. I’m currently employed and work a part time job, with a majority of my focus being towards school. I attend classes Monday-Thursday. At the moment I am currently on winter break so when I’m not working I spend most days with my dogs. I take them for walks regularly, feed them everyday, and give them attention all throughout the days. I grew up being taught to treat animals and other living things with respect and kindness. When I dog sit animals I abide by the rules given to me by owners and will care completely for the animals. I will feed whatever pets exactly how I am instructed, let them go outside to use the restroom regularly, and play with them extensively. I love animals a lot and I will probably spoil the animals with lots of love and attention if allowed. When walking my own dogs I allow my dogs to go potty and will pick up after them, I would let the dogs walk wherever they choose to go. I know that the dogs walks are for them to go out and get some fresh air and go potty.

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.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I mostly grew up around German Shepards and miniature Dobermans. I have two dogs of my own named Milo and Bear. I adopted Milo when he was a little less than a year from the pound. I got Bear just 6 months later from someone who couldn’t keep him. I love dogs and want to help take care of your pets! I am a stay at home mom and I also work from home. Working from home gives me flexibility to be able to be there for your pets. In my home or your home your pets safety and well being is my top priority. I will treat your pets with the same love l treat mine with. I believe pictures and videos are important to provide to show you how your pet is doing. I also send updates about your pets like what they’ve been up to and if I have concerns I definitely would let you know. I do live in a one bedroom apartment but I have a front yard I can take your dogs out for fresh air and to use the bathroom.
