“Jaden is simply amazing! We were worried about leaving our pets, especially our Akita (not even two years old) but Jaden came up a couple of times to get to know him first and by the time of our trip he was excited to see her! She is kind and thoughtful - sends pictures throughout her stay. I can’t recommend her highly enough! We will continue this relationship, for sure!”
“We were very happy with Kayla. She followed our instructions for house sitting and accomplished everything we needed. Our home was neat and clean upon our return and she did a good job of watering our flowers. Most importantly, our pup like her right away. Kayla took her on walks and the neighbors that she ran into thought she was nice, polite, and taking good care of our pup. We received photos from Kayla every day and in them, our pup seemed relaxed which was reassuring. We will definitely use her again.”

I also worked at a pet store for a few months last year. I am striving to work part time this summer! I would most likely be available for entire days but less available on the weekends. Once I have a cement schedule in place I will update :) I treat all animals like a parent would a baby! I always keep them entertained and cared for including any specific requests such as allergy concerns or even a specific toy they like to play with :)

About: Hi there 🫶🏼 my name is Gennacy! About myself ~ I am a HUGE animal lover some may even call me a animal princess 👑 I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid for my family and friends so I'm very familiar in the animal world. I’m a Certified VA and just want to help. I don’t just take care of dogs and cats I also care for exotic animals too 😉💗 I have a lot of time on my hands for my furry friends 🤗. I’m a student in College so I am currently free weekly from anytime after 12pm, and weekends available anytime. I have a fenced backyard with a security system. Decent size backyard with lots of toys and unlimited water, a friendly puppy to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate if needed..
About: I’ve had at least 5 years of experience sitting for friends and family. I’m going to college and studying to be a Veterinarian. I volunteer at Kern County animal shelter, and my main task is cleaning puppy cages, so I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I am a college student at CSUB, studying to be a veterinarian. During the Summer, I have a lot of free time while still maintaining good availability during the school year. Even if I have classes, I would still be able to check on an animal every day. I make sure to remove anything that could potentially harm an animal (Sago Palm for cats) and if they enjoy going outside, to always have them on a leash and in my sight.
“Julie was terrific! Our dog is suspicious when others come into the house, even those she sees regularly, but she warmed up to Julie immediately. Julie took her job seriously and went through extra measures to ensure our dog's safety after encountering an aggressive dog while walking her. She sent photos several times a day and even did extras around the house we hadn't specified, like filling the birdbath and watering our outdoor plants. I've already booked Julie for our next trip because I'm afraid that when everyone else finds out how great a pet-sitter Julie is she will be busy when we go out of town. :)”
About: Animals have always been a strong love of mine. Not only have I been a dog owner from the age of 3 and own 6 furbabies of my own, I have also been a horse owner, avid equestrian, and a 4H sheep owner that won Reserve Grand Champion 2 consecutive years showing them at the Kern County Fair. Providing the same love and care to your pets as I do my own is my top priority. Our pup’s didn’t earn the nickname of Man’s Best Friend out of nowhere and they deserve to be cherished, even when you need time away from home. I have experience in all ages and conditions including but not limited to: -New pups -Old pups -Blind pups -Diabetic pups I currently work full-time as a medical scribe with the goal of becoming a Physician Assistant. The great part? My workday starts early and ends early, leaving me with the perfect early morning, afternoon, and evening hours to dedicate to pet care. Daily walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles all fit smoothly into my routine, and I love having that quality time with pets after a busy morning. Weekends are even more flexible, which allows for longer stays, extra play, or extended house sitting when needed. Caring for animals brings a great balance to my week—and a lot of joy too! I treat your space with the same respect I treat my own. I keep things tidy, follow all routines to the letter, and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I keep you updated with daily pics, videos, and little notes on how your pup is doing! When walking, I’m big on safety—leash rules, paw checks, water breaks, and always watching for dog’s body language. My goal is a happy, tired, and content pet after every visit.

Alyssa S.
“I am Alyssa’s sister and growing up she’s always had a passion for caring for animals whether they were hers, friends or family, and even strays. I believe Alyssa would be a great sitter because not only does she love animals, she makes time to research the proper care such as toxin foods/chemicals to ensure your pup is healthy and safe! Not only does Alyssa take time doing her own research she’s attended school in Veterinary Science to excel her learning and is a certified veterinary assistant. Not only does she take the time to educate herself, she works with dogs hands on everyday as a dog groomer. This proves she is trustworthy and knowledgeable in dog handling all while trying to build the best relationship with the owner and pup.”

Laurelglen pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kaleb was awesome! He stayed at my house and took great care of my two dogs while I was gone. He kept me updated with texts and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Both of my pups loved him (and one of them can be a little picky with new people). I came home to two happy dogs and a house just how I left it. It was clear they got plenty of love, attention, and their usual routine. I’m so glad I found someone I can trust, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again.
We had an excellent experience with Julie! She kept us well-informed with regular updates and sent fantastic pictures of our pup, which really put our minds at ease. Her communication was prompt and clear, and she was always punctual, arriving exactly when promised. Our dog was happy and well-cared for, and we could tell he had a great time. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter!
Being my first experience using this method it was wonderful. I will likely recommend to anyone. She took care of my dogs very well, she is very responsible person and friendly. I will recommend her to anyone. I definitely will request her name time. Thank you very much for the help.
We recently entrusted our dogs, Amber and Bella, to Shannon for two days, and we couldn't be happier with her service! As this was our first time leaving our pups, we were understandably nervous. However, Shannon eased our worries by being punctual and highly communicative throughout our time away. She sent us adorable pictures of Amber and Bella, which truly made us feel at ease. It was clear that our dogs were in great hands. We highly recommend Shannon for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Shannon
