“Juliann (nickname is June) was awesome with our fur babies! June sent pictures and messages regularly and wasn’t shy to ask any questions, as they came up, to be sure the best care was given. Our house was clean and taken care of too. I would definitely recommend June to house sit/pet sit, and will definitely be my first call next time I need a sitter! Thx, June! - Erin”
2. Louis & Célia d.
“Quand Etienne et Célia étaient encore en France, je leur ai confié mes chiens a plusieurs reprises pendant mes vacances. Ils en ont toujours pris soins et se sont particulièrement bien occupés du plus vieux qui était malade. Je recommande pour leur sérieux et leur gentillesse !”
3. Grace K.
“Grace did a fantastic job house sitting and looking after our two fur babies. She kept us informed with lots of photos, and followed numerous directions perfectly. Trusting a stranger to come stay in your home, and ensuring your pets’ safety, takes a big leap of faith. Grace did not disappoint; she is very responsible and I highly recommend her!”
4. Alicia B.
“Five stars for Alicia! She was wonderful with my cat! I contacted her last minute and she was quick to answer. I was able to go on my trip without worrying as she was constantly keeping me updated with messages/pictures. I am thankful to Alicia as she was patient, kind and sweet to my cat (he gets nervous when a new person comes around) but she was able to get him to be comfortable around her. As well, Alicia kept my apartment safe and tidy while being away on my trip. I will definitely reach out to her next time I need to leave my fur baby at home.”
5. Kaitlyn H.
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She stayed in our home with our 1yo golden retriever, Ellie. We received lots of updates throughout our trip and Kaitlyn was always responsive when we needed to communicate with her. She respected our home and followed our care instructions for Ellie. We will definitely be reaching out to Kaitlyn in the future :)”

13. Samantha R.
About: Hello! I am a grad student who is passionate, caring, and patient when working with animals. I always had more than one dog in my household growing up and enjoyed every moment. I have experience working at the animal shelter as well. I would volunteer there and clean the dog kennels and take them outside to play with them. It amazes me how intelligent these animals are and it makes me feel so grateful to have the opportunity to work with these animals in a place where they feel the most vulnerable. I felt like I made a positive impact when I was there because they felt so excited to have that company. Furthermore, I believe all animals deserve unconditional love that I will always give that to my doggies that I sit for!

15. Caleb A.
About: My name is Caleb and I’m a Bakersfield native. I’m a 25 year old male. I’ve had pets my whole life (dogs and cats) and I’ve been working as a vet tech for the past 4 years. I’m very patient and aware of an animals needs. My coworkers call me the dog and cat whisperer. I know what signs to look for in an emergency situation. If your pet needs medication or special needs I’m more than confident in my ability to administer that treatment. I love walking and playing. If your pet is more of a relaxation type I enjoy that as well. I can pet/house sit, give them exercise and give them love. Whatever your needs are I’m sure I can help you out.
16. Kirah M.
About: I’m a lover of all animals and grew up with various family pets. I started pet sitting when I was around 10 or 11 years old. I volunteered at a local stable and the local humane society as a young teen. During college, I participated in a student led barn co-operative working with horses. For the past 10 years or so, I’ve done pet sitting and house sitting for several friends, family members, and other clients. I’m not a medical expert, but I have given oral and topical medication to dogs and cats before. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small rodents, fish, reptiles, horses, donkeys, and goats. I currently have a pet cat named Luna. I’ve had many pets throughout my life including dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, fish, amphibians, and lizards. I love all animals! I work around 30 hours per week, but I am available early morning before work, evenings after work, and overnight. I have most weekends open, as well. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work with you. I can do daily check-ins and/or overnight stays. I cannot provide boarding services in my own home at this time. However, I can come to your home to care for your pets there. I provide daily check-ins including feeding, watering, waste clean up, play time, and any other needed pet care. I can also provide house sitting services such as watering plants, bringing in mail, light cleaning, etc.

19. Jaden C.
About: I have four pets of my own, three dogs and one cat! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15, from dog sitting overnight or just during the day. My parents coworkers always relied on me to stay with their dogs, feed them, and play with them. I have time available during the week and weekend to do what I enjoy doing, and that is taking care of animals. I love being energetic and provide the care animals need. I have a huge backyard to keep my dogs entertained. I also have plenty of toys my dogs don’t use because they are extremely picky. I follow the specific directions my clients direct me to. It varies between each client but I feed them as many times they tell me, make sure they have their certain blanket next to them when they sleep. Leave the light on because they are scared of the dark. Give them certain treats after they use the bathroom or do tricks. Take them on a walk with the correct harnesses, clean up after them etc.
20. Clarissa V.
About: As a little girl, I was always known as the “animal whisper” as my family knew I had a special way with animals. I grew up around farm and house pet animals my whole life and always had a heart for taking care of my own animals. I went to school wanting to become a veterinarian, however, with my current situation, I have needed to change my aspiration and focus on what is important. I am currently doing school online, so it will not affect my ability to dogsit. I am also pregnant with my son, so by his due date I will have a tighter schedule. As my client, I will tailor to your needs in anyway you need me too. If there are any specific needs that the animals have, I will make sure to give them the attention they need. I am great with all types of animals and am happy to help in any way you need.
