“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.

“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.

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

“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!”

“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.”

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: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been working with animals since I was pretty young. I have experience working at animal shelters, rescues, hospitals, and specialty/emergency clinics. I currently am a veterinary technician. I do have 1 dog and 5 cats. They are very friendly and are used to having new friends around to play with. I accept all breeds/temperaments/ages of dogs and cats. If you have any questions or concerns I am more than happy to work with you! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!!! I like to take my dogs out in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I like to also take them out for walks at least once or twice a day. I usually follow the same schedule for the dogs I watch unless something different is requested. Please let me know what your normal routine is so I can make sure your dog is as comfortable as possible :) Please provide me with your schedule so I can follow it as closely as possible! I am currently working part time and am in school so I am only offering drop in visits, pet sitting, and dog walking at the moment! I am available most weekends and holidays. I do have an extra crate and pen at home if requested. Otherwise, I follow the same schedule I have for my animals. Although I used to offer boarding, now I am only offering drop in visits, pet sitting, and dog walking.

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.

About: The way I connect with dogs is on their level I enjoy playing around or if they want to sleep or just chill out I enjoy spending time with animals. I've been around dogs my entire life grew up with one of them inside and two outside of the home. I normally run on a daily basis as I try to stay as active as possible so walking or running your pet will be a breeze. As of right now my availability is wide open since I am home full time as well as overnights for any size dog will be welcome in my full size fenced yard. I'm more than willing to accommodate to any special request within reason for your pets needs in regards to feeding or walking or even sleeping. I love all animals and enjoy spending my time helping out people as well.

“Sidney was great dropping in with my dogs. It was a stress free experience knowing they were taken care of and I will definitely use her again! Thanks Sudney!”
