House Sitting Pumpkin Center

“Kelly was amazing! She was very professional, great to work with and was so good to our animals. This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous at first, but then we met Kelly and our worries disappeared. Kelly exceeded our expectations, we will definitely use her any time we need a pet sitter (as long as she’s available)!”

About: I grew up living with different types of pets and have a degree in animal science. I have also fostered and volunteered at animal shelters I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. I'm available any time on weekdays and some weekends I have a fenced yard, space and friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If needed I have crates for your pups to use

About: I have two years of experience working in dog training with Good Dog, where I developed valuable skills in handling, caring for, and understanding dogs with different personalities, temperaments, and behavioral needs. Through this experience, I gained knowledge of positive reinforcement, basic obedience training, and maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for dogs. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with every animal. My experience has prepared me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate pet care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or providing companionship, I am committed to treating every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, as I am temporarily away from my regular job while recovering from a work-related injury. This allows me to dedicate more time and attention to providing quality pet care. I am generally available throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. I can accommodate extended house-sitting arrangements and provide pets with consistent companionship, feeding, attention, and care. I take pride in being dependable, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. As both a dog and cat owner, I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet. Caring for my own animals has taught me the value of patience, responsibility, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. Along with my two years of experience in dog training with Good Dog, I have developed strong skills in animal handling, recognizing behaviors, and building trust with animals. I prioritize maintaining a clean and secure environment, providing fresh food and water, following established routines, and ensuring pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every animal has different comfort levels, and I always respect their boundaries while helping them feel safe and relaxed. Whether caring for pets in my home or their owner’s home, I am committed to treating every animal like family and providing owners with peace of mind knowing their pets are in responsible and dependable hands.

About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets, administering oral medications, and keeping up with high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and play. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely and treat them like I would my own, with lots of attention, affection, and regular photo updates while you’re away. I currently work part time in customer service, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting. I’m happy to spend time playing, giving affection, keeping pets company, maintaining their normal routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention while their family is away. For me, pet sitting is much more than simply stopping by to feed an animal. I genuinely enjoy building a relationship with the pets I care for and making sure they feel happy, loved, and comfortable until their family comes home. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and truly enjoy being around them. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, quirks, and favorite things so I can make their time with me feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including seniors. My own Chihuahua lived to be 22 years old, so I understand firsthand how much patience, consistency, and extra attention older animals can need. That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very mindful of safety and cleanliness in both my everyday life and in clients’ homes. I carefully follow care instructions, keep an eye on changes in behavior or needs, and make sure pets are comfortable and their environment is clean and secure.

“Preslee was great! The dogs seemed to be in happy and playful moods when we came home. Preslee is kind and was very understanding of start times. Will definitely rebook!”

Catherine S.

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 have a fairly set schedule for all of the pets in my care, and that level of routine provides comfort to even the most nervous of pups. I am the only Fear Free pet carer in Bakersfield! 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.

About: I am an animal lover who wants to make your animals feel save and loved 🤗. I’ve always had pets growing up and I currently pet sit for multiple families. I house and pet sit for short and long term needs, and am looking to expand my client base! Im currently going to school at Bakersfield College Monday-Wednesday! I will not be able to be home with your animals all day, but I will come and go when needed to make you and your animal feel comfortable. I will take care of your pet exactly as you would, following any house rules or boundaries you have set and make sure your pet gets the best care possible while I am there.

About: I have training certificates for Pillars and Harmony from Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behavior. I walk, behavioral train, & do dog sitting. I am working on getting my home approved, but for now only at client’s home. I will be making schedule available to first come first serve. Same day cancellation will possibly give others a chance to book same day if still needed. I am happy to care for your pet as instructed and requested to. My phone line will be open for communication throughout the time of care. With client permission and/ or request, I could also take and send pictures to you throughout the time of care.

About: I have a 11 year old cat of my own but have also helped my family raise various farm animals growing up from goats to dogs to chickens. Overall I am great working with animals. I am currently doing online college courses so I have open availability with scheduling drop ins to check on pets and it also allows me to give full attention to your pet while I am there. I will treat your animal with the same care I give to my cat who I have had for eleven years, with lots of attention and reading body language to determine their needs along with providing a clean space for them to live.

About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. I started pet sitting a couple years ago when my family or friends would go on vacation and they needed someone to care for their animals while they were gone. I have had many beloved pets growing up, including; cats, and dogs. Currently, I have two dogs. A German shepherd/husky and a mini dachshund puppy. My previous experience with pets is working at a veterinary hospital and a day care/boarding facility. I will take care for your pets just as if they were my own making sure they are getting the proper care every animals needs. I’ve always loved animals and taking care of them so i’m very excited to hopefully get the opportunity to take care of your pet.

“Everything was a breeze. Ashlyn communicates well and is reliable. She keeps her word and shows up on time. There were no issues with my dogs. They absolutely loved her!”

About: Hello! I have been a pet owner and lover of my own two dogs for over 9 years. They are a lively German Shepherd and snuggly Cattle Dog. I have cared for many different breeds over the years from Labs and Pugs, to French Bulldogs and Pomeranians. I am so excited to meet your beautiful, loved pets! I am huge on communication, comfort, patient, and great care for your dogs. I am more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have or any general questions at all. I look forward to getting to know more about your fur baby! I am currently working part-time at a optometry clinic while also attending college part-time. I have more than enough time on the weekends, and also on weekdays. However, I am restricted on weekdays to evenings for check-ins or quick walks. I am more than flexible on weekends and can definitely work with your schedule if needed. When caring for your pets, I will ensure that I follow their daily routines and respect their space and home environment. As someone who owns dogs myself, I am quite used to making sure they go on daily walks (or runs), keeping them safe from their environment and themselves, and ensuring they are getting the attention they needed. I am more than happy to adapt to every pet's needs and personalities, whether they are super active and hyper, or prefer a more sedentary and relaxed day with cuddles or pettings.

“Lynnsey went above and beyond while caring for Gracie. She sent pictures a couple times a day with cute captions. Lynnsey even went so far as to pick up pumpkin for Gracie because we forgot to stock up. Gracie was very happy to see us when we returned. The house was in great shape. I was happy to see that Lynnsey made herself at home and was not afraid to utilize the kitchen. We will certainly request Lynnsey again. Thank you very much Lynnsey! PS: Gracie misses you!”

“Jennifer is one of the best and so incredibly sweet. Very responsive and sent updates all day. I could tell my animals were in good hands and happily cared for. We will absolutely have Jennifer pet sit for us for future trips!”

Caitlin S.

About: I’ve raised multiple dogs for my whole life.Pets are my priority and well being. I am passionate about giving all animals their best life possible! I am currently available every weekday and weekends when notified prior. From early mornings to late nights my time is for the pets. Always able to accommodate for the pets sake. I have a indoor cat and an outdoor dog at home including two in tank turtles! My services are preferred in house sitting, and walk sitting!

About: I’d say what really sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about the pets I’m watching. I don’t just “check in” on them I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take time to learn their personality, routines, and little habits so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar to them. I have experience with both young and senior pets. With puppies, I’m patient and consistent with things like potty training, basic commands, and building good habits. With older pets, I understand they may need a slower pace, extra attention, or help with things like medication and sticking to a routine. I’m also big on communication I like to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well. Overall, I just treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel as happy and stress free as possible. I currently live with my partner and my puppy all i do at home is do online school and take care of my puppy all day! I have a fenced backyard a pet safe house with pet gates as well lots of toys and food of course! I love caring for pets i am studying to become a Vet tech
