Sofie looks like she was having a lot of fun hanging out with other dogs and playing. Jill was quick to respond to any of my inquiries, and she made sure that Sofie didn't have any allergies before handing out afternoon treats. Two paws up!”
“It was my first time ever using Rover. I was a bit skeptical but Jess took care of me and Beau. Answered all my questions and concerns prior to meet up. Jess was flexible with our time and date.

During beaus time with Jess I got as many updates as requested and there was very clear communication and a timely response which help kill off the anxiety of leaving my pup! When I came for pick up Beau was so happy go lucky! Definitely huge shout out to Jess for taking care of my pup and keeping him company and happy!”

About: I have 2 golden doodles and we are complete dog lovers. I have a professional livelihood but I am doing this with my 6 year old to teach her responsibility. We are extremely excited to take care of your fur babies! We are very open with our schedule. I have a flexible schedule that I can make work for whatever you need. I am very respectful, responsible and reliable. I have a fenced yard and 2 golden doodles that will keep your fur baby company. We go on daily walks and throw the ball to get the energy out and exercise. My dogs are crate trained and kenneled.
About: Been a lover of dogs since as early as I remember. I feel that dogs deserve the most love and care because they love us unconditionally. I would love to do whatever I can do to make you and your best friend feel comfortable in the moments you have to be apart from one another. I have a fenced yard with two fur babies to play with. I am also able to crate your dog if needed or whatever your preference.
About: I cared for my dog Angel for over 16 years. The last year of her life was more difficult, so I am familiar with and comfortable caring for senior dogs and their extra needs. I have also dog/cat-sat for many friends over the years, so I am comfortable with multiple-pet homes and all breeds. I really love animals and one thing I can guarantee (and proof is in my photo gallery!) is that yours will get lots of love, snuggles, and attention from me during my care :-) Rover is currently my only employment, and I stay at home most of the week, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard, and pets are welcome to roam the backyard and house, but I also have a large crate if crate training is needed. I currently have no other pets in the home.
“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.”
“Lupe is the kindest person. She has provided my puppy with the safety and love that I give him. I have no worries when I drop him off daily knowing he is in good hands. Oh, can’t forget her dogs Macy and Luka both look forward to seeing Milo, and Milo them. ?”
“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.”
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.
“Akie she was very kind and very sweet. My Stella had a wonderful time with her during her stay with Akie. I will definitely use her service again. (:”
About: Growing up I always had pets. Birds, fish, cats and dogs. I helped my grandfather in training our Doberman and two Yorkies. More recently I have helped my grandma with her two fur babies. She has a chihuahua named Gigi and a dachshund named Buddy. I understand the love we have for our fur babies and will ensure a safe and fun time for your baby. I do work full time, but I am always home in the afternoon and on my days off. I am always open to making changes I have a nice sized, fenced in backyard with ample space for running around and getting that energy out. I love getting on the ground and playing with animals. If there are any physical or dietary restrictions, I will ensure that your baby is well taken care of.
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds ever since I was a kid. I grew up around livestock and showed pigs through 4-H. I’ve never had a dog-less household, and I strongly believe every dog is a lap dog. I would love to get to know and spoil each and every one of your pups, while keeping you updated every step of the process. Although I only have one review on my profile, I have been taking care of friends’ and family’s pets for years. I guarantee a 5 star experience for you and your pets. I am currently self-employed, so I am extremely flexible when it comes to my schedule. Just let me know what you need, and we can make it happen! I have a fenced in yard, with two of my own indoor/outdoor dogs. There are also 2 indoor/outdoor cats, so no dogs that could put them in danger.

“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.”
