“Our dog had such a wonderful time with Maribel and her family!! Received several photos and videos during his stay. He was able to have lots of outdoor playtime. Very happy upon pick-up!”
“Julie and her family looked after my dog Frodo probably 15 or 20 times over the course of two years while I was living in Bakersfield. The family were always accommodating, and always willing to treat my dog as one of their own. Their property is a good size with lots of space to run around and lots of things to sniff. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. ”
“Once again, Lupe has taken excellent care of my pup. Lupe sends me lots of photos and videos that show me how my pup is doing. She is so kind and good with my furbaby. I can't recommend Lupe highly enough!”
“Dominie was AMAZING!!! She took care of our Stormi as if she was her own pup! We will be definitely will be using her always when we need to board our girl. This was the first time we left our pup behind and we were nervous but right off the bat Dominie made it so easy! She sent us updates and pictures through out the day. Our pup was left in the best hands possible! ♥️”
About: I grew up with dogs all my life. I have also graduated from Veterinarian School and have the knowledge of caring and accepting any type of dog. I am currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am available Monday through Sunday. I have a fenced yard and have a fur baby of my own to keep yours company. I can easily crate your pup if needed.
“I was very nervous about leaving Mochi with anyone but I had zero doubts from the minute I arrived at Anna’s home to drop off. From the beginning of the booking process with Anna, I felt as though I was leaving my pet with someone who would take great care of her. Anna kept me updated about Mochi during her stay, alleviated any of my concerns, reassured me during the whole process and my Mochi seemed to have a great time with her puppy friends. If you are looking for someone to care for your fur baby, look no further once you find Anna.”
About: I’ve raised dogs throughout my life. I love ensuring dogs are happy and cared for since they are so vital and important to us owners! I’m currently on summer break so I have my weeks free to care for your pets and ensure that they are happy and healthy puppies! I occasionally go out some mornings for an hour or so. I also take walks around the neighborhood and would be perfectly happy to let your pups tag along! I have a fenced yard, and a small corral where I am able to give dogs a place to stretch their legs. I also allow dogs inside if they are more comfortable being around me. I will ensure that they are able to go outside to use the restroom at any time they feel the need to.
“Awesome awesome awesome! I absolutely appreciate Akie so much! She communicates well and is very understanding. I had a messy schedule this time and she helped out way more that I could have asked. Definitely recommend and definitely my go to in this area.”
“Great experience using Stephanie as our Dog sitter. She was friendly easy to communicate with and helped us feel reassured that our dog was being well taken care of while we were away. It was our first time using Rover and Stephanie exceeded our expectations. We will be using her services again soon!”
About: I’ve adopted and cared for many dogs ever since I was a kid. I currently have 3 small dogs and they bring me so much joy! All dogs deserve to be loved and cared for and to feel safe and secure knowing their needs will be met, even when we’re away. I am happy to help care for your pups and provide them with the love & attention they need when you are not there - I will treat them like they’re my own! I currently work from home which provides me with the flexibility and freedom to care for your pets when you need someone to fill in. I will be sure to respect your pet and your home when making drop-in visits. Your pet will be fed and cared for with love.
“Thank you to Shanna and her family for taking care of Khio for us 😊 I really appreciated you being so accommodating with drop off/pick up times changing! Also thank you for getting my picky dog to eat her dinner! I will be visiting town more often so I’m happy to have such a great family care for our baby girl! 😊”
“I can not begin to express how sweet and welcoming Maria is to my little fur baby! My doodle always gets so excited to go there and is over the moon when she sees her. She’s watched her for me a couple times now and every time she does an outstanding job! 100% recommend her to anyone in need.”
“Wynona (rene') was very sweet with our pups and gave them lots of attention. However, I am taking off one star for misrepresentation of profile information. She lives in an apartment, not a house and the fenced in yard is about a 5x8 area for the dogs to walk outside. Also, they do smoke in the home. I would recommend her for people with small dogs and that dont mind indoor smoking.”
