“Yasmin took wonderful care of my dog. She's the most communicative sitter I've ever had which I appreciated and she went out of her way to make Atlas feel at home with toys and even gave us a frisbee toy! She sent so many adorable videos and photos. I would recommend Yasmin to anyone! Definitely would rebook. Thank you!”

“Barbara is currently sitting for my dogs, I am still out of town. I will leave another review once I am home. I am trying to figure out how to leave a tip, because she goes way above and beyond. For all of the work and help she is doing for my dogs while I am gone is incredible, so I just want to throw her a tip because she more than deserves it.”

She was incredibly thorough through the first initial visit and knew all the right questions to ask if I missed something. I will absolutely be rebooking with her. Incredibly happy that I have a trustworthy babysitter because that’s what she is. An incredible babysitter for my fur babies!”

14. Jess H.
About: Trying to make ends meet having 3 jobs, This job taking care of dogs is by far my favorite one as dogs are therapeutic and a joy to be around I've cared for about 18 dogs now and some repeat clients since being on here in December and don't regret a moment at all and learned alot. I love taking care of dogs and can also handle walking the giant dog breeds Love all dogs though they r awesome potty breaks evry 2 to 4hrs regualrly Have any questions feel free to message me! Great since I work from home im able to care for dogs quite frequently and also there's a yard just In case since accidents do happen i would want a gate up near a pool no matter what area also if their were children around always like to make sure the dog bowls are nice and clean not dirty also change the food out as well. as if us people had to eat out it clean


15. Ashlyn R.

“Second time Ashlyn has helped us out with our fur babies and she did great! I’m so grateful Rylee and Fig are able to have a familiar face pop in whether it be a longer visit or just a quick drop in so they don’t feel alone. Thanks again, Ashlyn! Cant wait to work with her again.”


16. Kaleb S.
“Kaleb is the most endearing and caring animal lover! He has always showed great compassion and love for his own pets and well as others. He has grown up with pets all his life and always been an amazing pet “parent” or caretaker. You can put your full trust in him when it comes to your fur babies.”


17. Eliza G.
About: I have been a reliable dog sitter and house sitter for nearly a decade. Previously, I was also a frequent foster provider for dogs from the Bakersfield animal shelter. I have an energetic but well trained Australian Shepherd with whom I stay very active, as well as a yard with ample space for dogs to run and play. I currently work part-time, leaving me ample time to spend with your pup. My partner also works primarily from home, ensuring quality care and attention given to your furry friend. I put a strong emphasis on enrichment activities and helping the dogs stay active. I have a lot of experience in helping dogs to adjust to new environments, and I work hard to make your dog feel safe and comfortable.


18. Nereyda R.
“Nereyda is an absolute sweet person with a funny personality. Her previous knowledge with animal care giving in the veterinary field would definitely put me at ease knowing she will be caring for my pets and would give me a sense of relief knowing someone who loves animals as much would be thier pets to make sure the pets are getting what they need and having their safety and her safety and others in mind”
