About: I've been raising dogs since I was a teenager. I've literally raised them from birth, I've got experience breeding dogs and have helped them during the birth process. I just recently became a cat owner so I don't have very much experience with them but am learning new things all the time about them. I'm not the grooming type so if you want nails clipped or trimming done I suggest seeking someone else for that. I'm okay with giving them baths but that's about the extent of it. I've walked up to 3 dogs at once so I'm efficient in walking dogs. As shown in my headline I'm a big animal lover, they're my weakness, kryptonite, Achilles heel. I'm more emotional over their deaths than humans. My availability varies due to having a part time job and having animals of my own to care for but I'm capable of juggling all that I make sure my pets always have food & water, I also make sure they go outside to relieve themselves and just to get some exercise
“Melissa was awesome! She exceeded our expectations as first time Rover users and we would absolutely request her again in the future. She sent lots of pictures during her visits and was very detailed with her notes. Her communication was great and it allowed us to work out any hiccups with our pups in real time. She went above and beyond and even swept the dirt the dogs drug in while she was here. Her prices her also very reasonable. Don’t hesitate to book with her!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring a unique combination of passion and reliability to pet sitting. My experience includes volunteering with local animal shelters, and caring for my own pets as well as my family member's pets, including senior dogs with special needs.

As a part-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time and attention to caring for your pets. I’m available for walks and check-ins throughout the day and evening. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I take every precaution to ensure they are well cared for while you’re away. I follow your specific instructions closely, keeping routines consistent and providing plenty of attention and supervision. You can have peace of mind knowing that both your pet and your space are in trustworthy hands.
“Callie has been truly one of a kind. This is my 2nd time booking with her and needless to say, we’ve found our permanent cat sitter. She’s very easy to book, comes to meet your pet before the actual visit to introduce herself, and is VERY friendly with cats (and dogs)! She sends regular updates, is very punctual with the schedule, spent a great amount of time with our little guy, and sent daily photo updates. She cleaned up the litter on the floor and even updated the water dispenser in our absence. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and will 100% book with Callie again.”

About: I have been taking care of pets, housesitting, and more since I was 13 years old and I’m patient and kind! I love caring for animals❤️ I am planning on pet sitting in the late afternoon/evenings during the weekdays and any time on the weekends and am available to stay overnight as needed as long as it’s fun that I leave for work in the morning and can return afterwards. I fist let the pet adjust to me as needed and then I can play with a toy they love, walk them, or just give them attention and cuddle if that’s what they choose. It’s all about making them comfortable.
About: Have watched dogs my whole life have been a reliable dog sitter for friends and family I have watched many types of dogs and many sizes I mainly sit at home with nothing to do so I can always watch a dog as long as I have no school or anything to do My Home is a very spacious place for pets to roam and play I will make sure they get taken outside every 2-3 hours and have bowls of water ready for them
“Madeline was very sweet and communicative. She responded fairly quickly to my last minute drop in request. She did great with my dog and my house while I was gone. Will definitely reach out again next time.”

About: 🐶🐕🦮🐕🦺🐩Waggin Through Trails Pet Sitting🐱🐈🐈⬛ I reside in bakersfield CA, but my walks are about a 50 mile radius from where I live which includes from Bakersfield to Paso Robles. I am an avid runner so my furry friend chooses the pace at which we will go about. If your fur baby is a runner, I recommend a body harness rather than a collar. Keeps them safer. If they are walkers than a collar is perfectly fine. For the more agile furry friends, I also ride my montain bike. You have the option of choosing any terrain: Trails, hikes, parks, neighborhood walks you name it. I encourage breaks for water drinking if my furry friend desires. I carry extra poop bags with me so picking up after your fur baby will not be a problem. If your furry friend is a water lover and is permitted to swim, I will also make time for a little swim time to cool off. Overall I am looking forward to more hikes in 2021 and make more furry friends to join me on adventures. I'm currently working part time and have time to play walk doggy sit and give all my attention to your fur baby's ready for our next adventure I have a fenced yard and no dogs in front yard or in house but your baby's will be in a very clean happy loving home for the time you drop off till pick up
“Kat was very responsive and attentive to our pups! She was happy to accommodate a stop in visit at the last minute and gave us plenty of updates along the way. I would definitely recommend her services! :)”

About: Hello! My name is Katerina, I also go by Kat. The experience I have is mostly with friends and family, however I was paid to care for three cats for a few years in high school. I have experience with cats, dogs, small rodents, and reptiles! I'm also familiar with caring for elderly cats and dogs and can help with medications if necessary. Litter boxes don't scare me either. I love walking dogs and can even give baths! Play time is also very important! The reptiles I have worked with include small snakes, geckos, and bearded dragons; the rodents I've worked with were guinea pigs, rats, mice, and chinchillas. The only thing I ask is a note including any specifics your pet needs so that I can provide the best care possible! I currently work as a on call construction monitor from 4am-6pm on days I am needed. As it is on call I have much more free time to care for pets on my off days. I have a small fenced in back yard. In the home there are two chinchillas and a cat. Pets would be allowed to free roam or crated depending on owner preference.
About: I've had pet dogs since I was 11 years old. I am now 31. I love dogs and cats! I miss living with pets, so I feel this is a good alternative.

I currently live in an apartment complex, but it does have very spacious yard. The parking lot leads into a nature trail walk. Its a nice nature trail on sunny days. There is also a grass area specifically for dogs.

About: I have years of experience within house sitting, caring for dogs, and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, attentive, and confident with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and basic training. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment so every pet feels understood and cared for while their owners are away.🐾 I am currently employed at Starbucks, which allows me to maintain a flexible and dependable schedule. This makes it easy for me to commit to additional responsibilities and extracurriculars. With my experience in both house sitting and pet sitting, I’m hoping to build consistent, long‑term relationships with clients who value a trustworthy and reliable caregiver. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their space tidy, and make sure they always have fresh water, proper supervision, and lots of gentle attention. I respect the owner’s home and instructions so pets feel secure and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hello! My name is Julie. Let me tell you a little about us! At our canine and feline paradise of Sioux City Ranch, my husband Tim and I, make sure your four-legged family members are top priority. It’s been that way for five years and you can bet it will continue to be that way for many more. We LOVE DOGS!

In addition to my work with Rover, I have many years of experience working with dogs both young and old, including special needs pets requiring scheduled medication and other accommodations. I have a certificate for canine first-aid and emergency procedures to better prepare myself for working with senior dogs and those spirited pups.

We will never bring them to a dog park and expose them to the dangers of common diseases, like the many forms of parvovirus, and aggressive breeds. We have lots of comfy dog beds available, or you can bring your pup’s favorite! When your pet is with us, their comfort and health are our primary concern. Are you worried about the highly unlikely scenario of your pup running away? Upon request, we offer an optional dog tracking device ( Whistle brand) that allows us to locate them within minutes. However, I have never had the need to use it, as we supervise our charges when they are outside and inside. Your dog is truly under 24 hour supervision. I know what it’s like leaving your furry child with someone, unsure of what’s in store for their stay ahead. Rest assured, I will provide your dog or cat with what they need for a stay of relaxation, affection and entertainment. That includes: Plenty of running around and playing in our ½ acre fenced-in playyard Comfy and clean beds and mats Age-appropriate toys and rope tugs 24-hour supervision Lots of hugs and photo shoots 😊 For added convenience, we also offer: Pick-up and drop-off Overnight boarding Drop-in visits while you’re away We offer our pet-sitting service with the confidence that comes with raising six fur babies and raising and training Border Collies for more than 10 years. Each of our agility/herding dogs are well-behaved, house broken, obedience trained, and have either been prepped for the show pen or retired. We feel that our dogs are family, and you can bet we will treat yours like they’re one of ours. And yes, that extends to cats, as well! Please bring the following to your dog(s) overnight stay: Food with feeding instructions; Bed (optional) or something from home or favorite toy; Well fitted collar with ID tags and leash; and Crate if that’s what your dog is used to sleeping in (optional). I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon! My husband and I are both retired, so your dog will receive 24/7 care and attention. One or both of us are always home to care for your dog. I have a fenced and cross-fenced 1 acre area for the the dogs to play in. Your dogs will never be kenneled or caged. They will be provided ample opportunities for exercise and rest.
