Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Lakeview, Bakersfield, CA

“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.”

“Miranda is an amazing pet sitter. We have a 4 year old border collie, and a 2 years old cat, that she was amazing with. She was amazing at updating us with anything going on while the animals were in her care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing any type of animal care! 🤍”

“Callie was amazing with Maverick! She played with him until he was all tuckered out! We look forward to working with Callie again in the future ?”

“Crystal was great! I travelled for a while and she visited my cats. She great at contacting me, sending pics, placing food, water and petting them. Came back after several days and they seem very happy ? thanks Crystal”

“Sidney has been so great! Have been working long hours and was worried about my puppy being home for hours in end alone. Sidney came to meet Bunnie before we started regular daily visits, and she stayed and played with Bunnie for an hour almost daily. My neighbors told me they always saw her running around the back yard keeping her active, and she was always super sweet to my baby. She always remembered to put out the activity toys, and would even clean up the rare messes my puppy made even though I told her she didn’t need to. Sidney was super flexible and communicative, sent me lots of photos and videos, and she even took my last minute panicked requests for bookings. I highly recommend trusting your pups to her, she will take great care of them!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Ashlyn has cared for several of our pets in the years we've known her. She is reliable, professional, and genuinely cares. She always follows instructions to the letter and has never made me feel like I was over the top for my requests.”

“Tommy has watched my wife and I’s two dogs multiple times. He has always done a wonderful job, giving us frequent updates on how they’re doing. Our boys love him. He is very caring and knowledgeable about taking care of pets, even giving us advice when needed. We strongly recommend Tommy.”

“Zena was great with my herd (2 adult Ger Shep 2 puppies 10 weeks) crazy bunch 😜. Got a filled out report card, pics, and a text on the not so great behavior of one (big thanks for that). Booked her for Thanksgiving week, will review for that but I can tell it'll be great and we won't be missed LOL.”

“Nena has watched my dog many times and every time I have arrived home my puppy was fed. I have not gotten a complaint from her or a mess by my dog. my puppy was a full time service and she did everything for him meanwhile in her care. highly recommend. my only dog sitter.”

About: I’ve owned dogs of all sizes for nearly 15 years and have cared for them in all ways. I’m experienced in bathing small and large dogs, and can care for more than one dog at a time. I love taking dogs on walks to keep them active, but also like to hang out inside when it’s warm outside. I do have a car hammock for dogs to stay safe while on a drive to the park or just going for a ride. I just adore dogs, all breeds and sizes. I am so excited to care for your dog in the future if you choose to allow me to give your dog a safe home to stay while you’re away. Not working right now so my schedule is very flexible up until March when I start school. If you need any same day or next day services please message me. I have a fenced yard so a lot of room for your pup to play. Many dogs I’ve watched just love exploring the yard and walking around or laying in the sun. Nearby many walking trails. Also a short drive away to some very nice dog parks in the area.

About: I have a big heart for animals. I grew up on a horse ranch, where my family worked closely with a rescue to rehabilite and re-home at risk Mastiffs and Akitas. I have an extensive understanding of animal behavior. In addition to growing up around animals, I have several years of experience with specialized dog training (including 2 years training service dogs for people with disabilities) and behavioral rehabilitation for large breeds. I also have several years of experience working with puppies under 1 year old and 15 years of experience with large-giant breed dogs. I am certified in Dog and Cat CPR and First Aid and I have 2 years of experience working as a Mobile Veterinary Technician. I also have 3 years of experience managing a dog and cat grooming and boarding facility and have worked with various animal rescues/nonprofits throughout the years. Due to my extensive experience with animals, I am able to provide generalized and more specialized care for your furbabies, including administering oral medications as needed and tending to unique dietary needs. I am currently working part-time during the week, but am available Mondays after 10am, Wednesdays after 2pm and Fridays after 4pm, as well as weekends. I have open availability on Saturdays and Sundays. My availability should be opening up to include full days on Monday and Tuesday soon. Please be patient with me. Sometimes I may not be able to answer right away, but I will get back to you within the day. I work in a high security position during the week. I will follow your typical routine and any special requests to keep your animals most comfortable, as I understand that sudden changes can cause undue stress to animals, especially as they age. I provide walks and/or outside time time based on your current routine and/or the age of the dog. For example, I make sure puppies are taken out regularly at intervals appropriate for their age in months, as well as monitoring them for signs that they need to go outside again between walks. I keep active animals physically and mentally engaged using toys and puzzles (as they are available) so your furbabies don't get into trouble while you're away. I am a big fan of positive reinforcement training and can help encourage positive behaviors through this method using toys and/or treats as available, but this is not a substitute for working directly with a trainer and will not be the focus of care. When they're all tired out, I love all of the snuggles! I am very detailed in the care that I provide and I offer this service because I truly LOVE working with animals. I do not currently offer boarding or daycare in my personal home.

“PHENOMENAL. Literally worth his weight in gold. I don't know this man from Adam and was in an bit of an emergent need for a sitter with a LOT of patience, a kind temperament, and who wouldn't be scared of my dog for aggressively baking at what is obviously a stranger in his space. I'm also a Rover sitter so I know I only want folks to care for mine how I care for others' and he 100% exceeded all my hopes!!! Will absolutely hire any time!!!”

“Thank you!! Henry has been working on his tunnel to the neighbors yard for a while😂”

About: I have done pet sitting for friends and family. Comfortable with how to handle large and small pets. I am familiar with bathing, feeding, walking, and playing with pets. I currently work part time at a frozen yogurt store and am active in volunteer work at my church. The busy parts of my day are usually noon-night but I would love to pet sit during the early mornings-noon. I am very good with following instructions and any special needs a pet may have. I am also more than happy to clean any mess created as I wouldn’t want to leave anyones house a mess. Most importantly I pour 100% of my love into every pet I care for.

“Chianne is great with dogs, I’ve known her for a while and she helped me with not one but two dogs that contracted parvo. She was able to help with the IV as well as keeping them well hydrated and cared for. Without her my Siberian Husky and border collie pups would not have made it through this alive!”
