2. Katrina M.


“Katrina is so great!! I felt completely comfortable with her dropping in while I was out of town for visits to let my pups out. She kept me updated the whole time and sent pictures, and even told me little stories of their time together! I would recommend her services to anyone who is looking :)”

“My doggies and I got to meet Crystal today. She is very knowledgeable and kind. My dogs liked her right away and I know they will be in good hands with her for our future drop-in bookings.”


4. Kayla R.

“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!”


5. Yasmin A.
“Yasmin took such good care of my dogs Mika and Stella! They boarded 2 weeks and we got cute pics & videos daily of her playing with them! They get SO happy when we pull up to her house. She's caring and my pups got plenty of walks & exercise in her big courtyard. If you want your pet to have a fun staycation of their own, book Yasmin!!!”


6. Christopher B.
“I have co-owned dogs with Christopher B. for 12 years. Never have I known anyone who loves dogs more. He has a knack with them that seems to make them accept him into their pack immediately, and his empathy with every dog he meets is uncanny. Along with his love of dogs, he is an excellent caretaker. He makes sure they are fed, medicated, walked, and that they each get undivided attention daily. We had a special needs dog, and he was right there every step of the way, looking after her and doing all we could to give her the happy, loving life she deserved. He gives any dog in his care the best of himself. If you're looking for someone to give your pet loving, secure care when you can't be there, Christopher is a perfect choice.”




7. Kelly B.

“Kelly come to rescue watched my babies when I went out of town She is so punctual and, take care of them I will for sure contact her again for next time”

10. Cynthia M.
“Cynthia is an amazing sitter. She has more knowledge especially since she is a Veterinary Assistant. I can rely on her to make sure my fur baby is safe and well taken cared of. I highly recommend her!”


11. Maritza B.
“This lady is great! I have used her a few times but the I'll tell about the 1st visit. I was gone for the weekend and had nobody to watch my 110lb pit bull. Most people are intimidated by his appearance, energy, and strength. She handled him very well & was very responsible with learning his trained commands and very attentive to him. He absolutely loves her presence. The pup actually whined at the door when she left. He is always excited to see her whenever I need a sitter for him now. This lady is very reliable, & trustworthy. Absolutely worth the $$ if your in search for someone. I don't trust my home or my fur baby with very many people, but I can trust both with her.”

13. Joshua JM W.


“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!”


14. Sidney A.

“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!”

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. I currently work part-time, leaving me ample time to spend with your pup. My partner also works primarily from home, ensuring quality care and attention given to your furry friend.

“Nereyda is an absolute sweet person with a funny personality. Her previous knowledge with animal care giving in the veterinary field would definitely put me at ease knowing she will be caring for my pets and would give me a sense of relief knowing someone who loves animals as much would be thier pets to make sure the pets are getting what they need and having their safety and her safety and others in mind”
