“Whitney is so kind and loving! She helped provide last minute doggy daycare for my pup. She is very fast and consistent with communication providing lots of great pictures! I would definitely trust and recommend Whitney.”


“Dominie took good care of our baby boy. She sent updates with pictures throughout his stay. We had peace of mind knowing he was in goods hands 😊 we will be hiring Dominie again!!”


“Heidi is such a blessing and a gift to have as a dog sitter for my Roxy. Roxy is very attached to me and shy in new circumstances. Heidi warmed her over almost immediately and Roxy has stayed with Heidi 3-4 times a week for months. Heidi takes excellent care of her, takes her for walks, lets her swim in her pool, and sends great photos and updates throughout my 12 hour work shifts, which I greatly appreciate! Roxy is excited to see Heidi every time, and I always feel the feeling is mutual. My fears of leaving my dog with a new person were almost immediately squashed when I met Heidi and now Roxy and I love her dearly. Thank you Heidi for all that you have done!!!”


“Shanna is a wonderful sitter! Very nice and has a warm home. My dog liked her and he was well taken care of during the day. I definitely will be booking again in the future. Thank you! :)”



“First two. daycare experiences were great for both parties. The third day, we discovered that Roxie's reaction to Jill and Liz's cats was too strong and it was no longer a good fit. I want to say that although it did't work out for us, I appreciate the direct, clear, and professional communication from Jill and Liz. Their yard is huge and Roxie did have fun while outdoors. Got some great pics. Bummed, but glad to have had my girl experience their care.”


About: Hi! I’m new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for my best friend’s large dogs for years while she’s away on business trips sometimes for up to two weeks at a time. I absolutely love being around dogs and enjoy every part of their care, from feeding and walking to cozy snuggles on the couch. After years of caring for dogs, I decided to join Rover as a side passion. I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with two on-site dog parks, which are perfect for playtime and exercise. I take dogs out for walks 3 to 4 times a day and always make sure to clean up after them — we have convenient poop bag stations throughout the community. While I don’t have dogs of my own right now, I treat every pup like family. I welcome overnight bookings, and your dog is more than welcome to relax on the couch. There are no restrictions here when it comes to comfort and cuddles. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and give them all the love and attention they deserve! As a full-time stay-at-home mom of three boys, I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent care and attention to your dog. I typically take dogs out 3–4 times a day and can easily adjust walks or potty breaks to fit your pup’s needs. Whether it’s weekdays, weekends or extended stays, I’m flexible and reliable. Your dog will be in a safe, attentive, and family-friendly environment while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, supervised environment where dogs can feel at home. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to keep a close eye on your pup and give them plenty of attention, bathroom breaks, and playtime. My apartment is pet-friendly with secure areas for walking and play. We have two on-site dog parks and designated pet waste stations, which makes daily outings clean and convenient. Inside, dogs are welcome on the couch and are never confined unless requested by the owner. I’m experienced with large breeds and understand how to manage dogs with different energy levels and personalities. I also keep communication open with pet parents, sending updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You can trust that your dog will be treated like family in a safe, clean, and loving environment.

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.

“Jess was an amazing pet sitter!!! For being a last minute appointment he was amazing. Left Luna with him just for three hours but in those three hours he sent me updates with pictures. When at time for pick up Jess knew we were driving for three hours he gave Luna an extra water for the road. Will definitely be using him again.”


“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!”


“Veronica is really kind and gentle to my dog that is extremely anxious and whiny. The rover card was updated and photos were uploaded as well. And it was a bit chilly and she gave my dog a nice sweater to go home with.”

“I can’t recommend my mom enough as a dog sitter. She has a natural way with animals—kind, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I’ve grown up with pets my entire life because of her, and she’s the one who taught me how to care for them with love, patience, and respect. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even the occasional rescue, she made sure every animal in our home was not only cared for but truly loved. She’s also one of the cleanest and most organized people I know, which makes a big difference when someone is trusting you with their home and their pets. She pays attention to every detail—making sure dogs are fed on time, walked regularly, and given plenty of affection and playtime. She treats every pet like they’re part of the family, because to her, they are. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and experienced to care for your dog, my mom is the perfect choice. Your pup will be in the best hands.”
