Dog Walking Oleander Sunset

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.

About: I have over a decade of experience caring for animals, starting from a young age and evolving into a professional career. I have a certificate in Veterinary Assistance, meaning I have a great understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I also completed my externship at Kern County Animal Services, where I gained experience in managing a clean environment and administrating medication. I worked at a luxury pet resort and I currently work at a pet boarding facility, which involves professional bathing techniques, ear cleaning, and skin health checks. Therefore, I have a keen eye for your pet’s physical well-being. Whether your pet needs specialized medical monitoring, senior care, or whole lot of playtime, I have the knowledge to ensure they are safe, happy, and pampered while you're away! I have open availability and can dedicate my time to caring for your pets. Monday-Friday, I am available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight stays as needed. I can provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, companionship, and general pet care. On weekends, I am available for walks and drop in visits throughout the day. I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care. Using my Veterinary Assistant training, I perform 'nose-to-tail' wellness checks during every visit to monitor for any changes in health or behavior. I stick strictly to your established feeding and medication schedules to maintain your pet's routine. Safety is my priority! I ensure all doors/gates are double checked and that your pet is never left in a hazardous situation.

I’m currently devoting myself to animal care full time so I am very flexible and can work with most schedules! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Every animal is unique so I tailor my schedule and the fur baby’s schedule with what the owner/fur parent prefers and based on each baby’s needs. I do encourage play time - plenty of walks and lovings.

About: I’m a reliable pet parent with 2 years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I genuinely love animals and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, giving medication if needed, and following special routines. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m patient, responsible, and attentive. I currently have a part time schedule but also flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and kept in a clean, calm environment. I carefully follow any routines, feeding instructions, medications, or special care requests provided by owners. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while in my care.

About: I focus on giving each dog consistent attention, patience, and a calm environment so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow care instructions exactly, keep routines consistent, and communicate clearly with daily updates and photos. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s behavior and energy level, making sure they get the right balance of play, rest, and care while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine in a very consistent and flexible way. I naturally build my schedule around reliability and attention to detail, so I’m used to checking in on responsibilities throughout the day rather than letting things pile up. On a daily basis, I can dedicate time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and any needed check-ins on weekends. Evenings during the week. I’m good at adjusting my schedule to match the pet’s routine, whether that means early morning walks or evening drop-ins. On a weekly level, I plan ahead so I can make sure I’m available for longer care periods like overnights or multiple visits per day. I’m also comfortable being consistent with routines like medication schedules, exercise, and keeping the pet’s environment clean and safe. Overall, I treat pet care like a real responsibility, not something I “fit in” when convenient I structure my time around it to make sure the pet stays comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping the pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow the instructions exactly as provided feeding schedule, portion sizes, walk times, medication (if any), and any specific behavior or care notes about the pet. For daily care, I make sure the pet gets attention, exercise, and interaction, not just basic needs. That can include walks, playtime, accidents if needed, refreshing water, and making sure the home is kept tidy and secure while I’m there. I’m also careful about safety double checking doors, gates, leashes, and making sure pets don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I pay attention to how the pet is acting so I can notice any changes in mood, appetite, or behavior and communicate that right away if something seems off. I don’t just “stop by and do tasks” I treat it like I’m temporarily responsible for the pet’s wellbeing and comfort, and I make sure they feel calm and cared for while their owner is away.

About: I am a Fear Free certified veterinary technician of 13 years who grew up in the show dog world (AKC) before getting into rescue as an adult. Throughout my long-lived animal career I have participated in puppy/kitten/basic obedience training, behavioral rehabilitation, dog sport training, senior care, care for animals with extreme medical needs, and owned/operated a group play doggie daycare. My jobs, hobbies, and passions are all centered around animals and I can't wait to bring that passion to you! I am home full-time, and available for puppies and animals with heavy needs.

I provide comforting classical music as well as calming pheromones in the sleeping spaces to make their stay as stress-free as possible. I have a fenced yard and never leave dogs together unsupervised. I do not provide an environment suitable for animals with a history of dog aggression. Small dogs I can be more flexible with, as their attitude usually comes from a place of fear and that is something I can work with for the little guys.

Following his morning meal is a long walk. We make sure he’s well groomed with daily brushing and a wash once a week. Levi has allergies so we make sure to always apply topical remedies and purchase a high quality kind of dog food.

About: Hi my name is Courtney, I am a Bakersfield resident and currently work part time around the corner from my house. I’ve been dog sitting friends dogs the last few years to help them out, this year I’ve been dog sitting for friends of friends. Since I have the time I wanted to provide my dog sitting services to others who are in need of a sitter since I enjoy it and it feels like second nature. I am currently working part time and have plenty of time to care for your pup. I will walk, and provide plenty of pets for your fur baby. I have a clean pet friendly home to keep your pup comfortable and safe. I can keep your dog on your schedule and provide medication if needed.

About: I’ve volunteered at the shelters for several years. I participated in their cruising canines program that had me take a shelter pup out weekly for a few hours to burn energy. This includes going for walks, swimming, going to get a puppacino or just cruising in the car and wind surfing! I’ve taken all dog sizes and am physically fit enough to take on larger dogs. I’ve had animals of my own since I was 7 years old. This included ducks, pigs, dogs, cats and geese! I currently have 3 dogs of my own. I love any chance to meet new animals! I live a very active lifestyle and fitness is a huge part of my daily routine. I have 4 dogs of my own and understand how a pet is more than just a pet, they are a family member! I work from home as a seamstress, which allows for my schedule to be very flexible. Last minute bookings to planned bookings work for me! All of my dogs are inside dogs. They are treated with the same care as humans, if not more. Comfort is top priority for my animals and I understand every pet will require something different. No 2 animals are the same and volunteering at the shelter has helped me learn that quickly! I feel I am very good at a reading the situation and would never do anything to make an animal feel uncomfortable.
