Doggy Day Care in River Oaks, Bakersfield, CA

“Shanna is great. She has been patient and collaborative in planning for my Roxie's care. We had a meet and greet, then a short daycare stay, then a full day of daycare. She is well versed in dog behavior. My dog, coincidentally a "pitbull type" is often categorized and judged as "vicious or aggressive" even before people meet her. I've had dog sitters on Rover decline to provide services simply because of her breed or her appearance. Shanna understands that Roxie is a dog: a dog with her own level of prey drive (so Roxie is not allowed in her daughter's room cause of the hamster she has); a dog with some anxiety who barked at her husband when he came into the house. They didn't freak out. Shanna understood Roxie's behavior and worked through it, allowing Roxie to get to know her husband, settle and move on. I truly appreciate her family's openness and acceptance. We have two more full days of daycare booked and if all continues well, we will book boarding services. Roxie is people and dog friendly, but the discrimination we have experienced on Rover, leads me to take things in a new daycare/boarding situation slowly. Shanna has been very reassuring and understanding. throughout the process. I HIGHLY recommend her.”

“We booked Akie for a day stay. She was great with Millie! Took and shared a lot of pictures. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you Akie for loving Millie while she was with you!”

“I can't find enough nice things to say about Julie and her family! They really helped me out when I was in a pinch. They accommodated for my hectic schedule and my pups always came home tired 😊 It is so nice to have a place for my pups to go where they're safe and can have a good time, too! Definitely recommend Julie and her family to all!”

“Great Dog Sitter. I do recommend her! She was very kind and gentle towards oreo and he was very happy when I went to pick him up. I would just have liked more updates on oreo but other than that great person!”

“Absolutely the best ever! Throughout the day I received updates on my pup, pictures and videos of him playing and/or sleeping! Toby loved it, most definitely would book again and again and again!”

“Barbara was very nice and took really good care of my dog, Butter. My dog has anxiety around bigger dogs, so for us, this was a perfect match. Even with her two smaller dogs, Barbara paid extra attention and had lots of caution in making sure that my dog felt comfortable being in her home and around her dogs. After our initial meet and greet, my dog didn’t even wait for me to say goodbye— He was so excited to be there that he ran inside when I dropped him off! As someone who gets anxiety from leaving their senior, special needs dog in anyone else’s hands, I will not hesitate to book Barbara again! Thank you so much Barbara!”

“Teena is great with Frankie! Frankie had separation anxiety and almost forgets to say goodbye to me when I drop her off. She’s so excited to spend the day with Teena and her little humans. They take excellent care of Frankie and she is a very happy pup to be so lucky with Teena!”

“Glenda was wonderful in taking care of our doggies! She’s great, friendly, and provided updates as well! Would not hesitate to have her watch our boys again! Thank you Glenda!”

About: I have always had dogs and im an experienced horse rider. I have a vet on speed dial for any emergency. i have a big backyard and two small dogs who love to play with other dogs and are the sweetest. I can administer meds if you need me to :) HI! Im Ali, im a 29 yr old stay at home mom to a baby and 2 doggies. My dogs are my life so you can expect the same treatment for yours, I spend my whole day with them and include them in everything they want! -I have a big backyard which they have access to anytime they want! (we have a doggie door installed) so they can enjoy the backyard or do their necessities there. -Dogs sleep in the room with us on their bed so we can keep an eye on them and they can sleep safe and warm. -We live in a safe and calm neighborhood so we can go on walks -I feed my dogs twice a day and leave water out all day for them to drink freely -We have a ring camera for security and trusty neighbors -I would love to meet you before dropping your dog off! and you can meet my dogs if you'd like too :) -I send pictures and updates! (As many as you'd like, I dont mind at all: I know its hard being away from our babies) I know how important dogs are to their families! so please let me know any concerns or questions you might have (Im happy to answer!) My backyard is completely fenced and its basically owned by my dogs (they use it freely all day) I dont go out much , so your dog might not spend any time alone whatsoever :) I let my dogs get on my couch but not the bed! they're allowed to be around the house wherever they want. *I prefer potty trained or crate trained dogs (we have a carpet sadly) * My dogs are sterilized, vaccinated and they're super sweet and playful with dogs that like to play. If your dog prefers their own space I can accommodate them, but no aggressive or destructive dogs please.

“I highly recommend her! Her and her family were very sweet towards my dog. I had to do a last minute booking and she accepted it. I also had last minuetes changes when picking him and she was very kind about it. I know for sure my dog had an awesome stay and felt safe in their home. And I am sure he adored all the attention he got. Will definitely book another stay with her again.”

“SHE IS AMAZING!!!! She showed so much love and care to my babies!!! They came home incredibly happy, tired and content. Nothing makes my heart happier! If you are looking for someone to treat your babies like their own, book her!! we will absolutely be coming to her again! I know my babies will be safe, happy and loved!”

About: Hi I’m Sydney! I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs named Bandit and Hazel that are the loves of my life. ❤️ I work full time, however my job is 10 minutes away from my home so I always have time to check in. My dogs never feel alone knowing I always come home. I’m able to check on your fur babies in a 4 hour span throughout the day and even more on the weekends. I treat dogs like they’re my own when they come to my house. Dogs deserve to be treated like family no matter what age and size. I love spending time inside relaxing or playing in the backyard. Walks are a must!

“Scott has a love for animals like nothing I have ever seen. He cared for and was the best friend for our Aussie throughout her 14 years of life. 2 1/2 years before we lost our amazing pet, she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and for the remainder of her life Scott monitored and gave her all of her many medications, cooked foods for the special diet she needed, and provided so much love and attention. He is so compassionate to all animals I am confident any dog that is entrusted to him for a walk or dog-sitting or anything that is needed will be well cared for with great attention to the dog's well being and happiness.”

“Jackeline took excellent care of my little guy. She sent me regular updates and cute picts, plus took him to a local dog park for bonus socializing time. I highly recommend Jackeline!”
