Kayla was wonderful with our 3 pugs. It was obvious from our meet and greet that she is great with animals. Our babies took to her immediately. While we were gone, she sent pictures regularly, which is so important to us when we are away from them. We returned to a clean house and yard and to fur babies that were excited to see us but were not anxious or stressed at all, which means they got plenty of attention while we were away. We've already booked with her again and would 100% recommend her to others.

Jaden is simply amazing! We were worried about leaving our pets, especially our Akita (not even two years old) but Jaden came up a couple of times to get to know him first and by the time of our trip he was excited to see her! She is kind and thoughtful - sends pictures throughout her stay. I can’t recommend her highly enough! We will continue this relationship, for sure!

Your peace of mind is part of the job.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for a few years, mostly for close friends and family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company while their family is away, I’ve always treated pets as my own. I often help with housesitting and babysitting as well, so I’ve learned to also juggle multiple responsibilities. I’m currently home for the summer from college, therefore, I have open availability and the flexibility to provide consistent pet care. With no current academic commitments, I am able to build my daily routine around the pets I care for! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m not afraid to ask clarifying questions about your pets to ensure I am giving them the best care. :)

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats since I was a kid whether that be family or friends. I’ve been around dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles etc. I currently work at an animal hospital in the boarding department so I care for people's fur babies on a day to day basis. I’m a full time kennel assistant at an animal hospital. My job is to maintain the health and wellbeing of people's pets while they are away. I like to take my cat out whenever I can. I feel like it’s very important for any and every animal to have environmental stimulation.

About: As a pet parent of eight years, I have extensive experience caring for specifically cats. However, I have experience dog sitting for my sibling—including caretaking for a two month old puppy. In general, my experience dog sitting consists of house sitting for multiple days in a row and two to three 1 hour walks per day for a single pet (much of my experience caretaking for dogs has been with high energy cattle dogs). Furthermore, I have experience pet sitting kittens. I love caring for our furry friends and would love to share my experience and passionate with the community! Currently, I am on summer break so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friend! I’m available throughout the week including the weekends. Hope to hear from you soon :-) As a pet sitter, I follow the instructions given to me by clients to a T—only pivoting if instructed by the client or in case of an emergency. In cases of an emergency, the client will be contacted immediately and their pet will be taken to an emergency veterinary if necessary or as instructed by the client. The health and wellness of the client’s pet is of the utmost importance.

About: I have a passion for pets and animals in general. I grew up always having multiple pets in the home, and have pet sat for neighbors and family members. I have some experience with administering medications to pets. I have multiple pets of my own currently cats and dogs - I have a large breed mix dog close to 90lbs so for the most part I can handle a bigger pet. Currently I am out of a job and looking. I am also trying to get more animal experience because I would like to find a career working with pets/animals and I aspire to get back into school to earn a degree that will also help me with this venture. So right now I have more free time than usual. I am familiar with crate training if that is something needed for your pet. I can easily understand and will follow any instructions needed for any pet. I care greatly about the safety of your pet, so depending on what is needed I will make the adjustments to ensure yours and your pets comfortability.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life so I’m very much an animal person. I’ve had a few senior dogs so I’m happy to take care of yours too, and oral medications or injectables are no issue. I’m most experienced with small dogs as those are what I have owned but I’ve taken care of large dogs for friends and on Rover. I am not able to take dogs over ~40 pounds at this time. I’ve got a big fenced in yard. There is an unfenced pool so they will not be left out unsupervised. I work part time and make my own schedule so my availability is very open. When I'm home, the pets follow me around as I do my daily activities, and since I make my own schedule, I'm happy to adjust it to their needs. If your pup needs a walk 3x/day, we can do that. When I do need to go out for errands or work, I will put your pup in a crate so that they are not left alone unsupervised; however, this is never longer than four hours. Also, if I have agreed to care for a dog that for example, needs potty breaks every two hours, then I will be sure to make my schedule such that I will be back home at least every two hours for the duration of the stay. I have a 2 small dogs and 3 cats, and I live in my family home. The cats are pretty friendly and will run away to find their own space if need be. My parents' maltipoo, Ollie, is a friend to all and loves to play; Noodle is a little standoffish but there is plenty of room in the house to separate him from guests if they do not get along. Pet care is already a part of my weekly routine, as I have five of my own. Mine are pretty mellow and couch potato-y, although I do take the pups to the dog park a few times a week. We also play fetch often. With guests, I just feed separately to avoid any issues and treat them as though they were my own, with the exception of crating or separating them while I'm away. I do this to ensure safety as my dogs and you pet will still be new to each other, and because it's possible that some pets engage in destructive behaviors due to anxiety while I am away. I’m new to Rover in Bakersfield, but I’ve cared for other people’s pets many times before. The animals just kind of follow me about my day, coming outside with me when I do my laps or go for a walk, sometimes tagging along for errands, and napping at home when they cannot tag along. I’m currently in between jobs so my schedule is wide open! I’ll be moving to finish my schooling in June or July so unfortunately I won’t be able to become your new regular sitter. I treat your pets like they’re my own! I’m very communicative if there are any issues or if I have any questions. I currently only offer care in the client’s home.

Julie was terrific! Our dog is suspicious when others come into the house, even those she sees regularly, but she warmed up to Julie immediately. Julie took her job seriously and went through extra measures to ensure our dog's safety after encountering an aggressive dog while walking her. She sent photos several times a day and even did extras around the house we hadn't specified, like filling the birdbath and watering our outdoor plants. I've already booked Julie for our next trip because I'm afraid that when everyone else finds out how great a pet-sitter Julie is she will be busy when we go out of town. :)

🐾 Grace O. is a gem! Grace looked after my two corgis and two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a more attentive and loving caretaker. She made it clear that my pets were not only safe, but genuinely cared for. Grace even noticed the quirky habits of each of my cats—one is shy and prefers quiet corners, while the other is a curious troublemaker. She handled their differences with ease and affection. Coming home to happy pets and a tidy space was the cherry on top. It’s rare to find someone so responsible and warm-hearted. Grace truly has a gift, and I’d trust her again in a heartbeat.

I’ve had the pleasure of watching Kylee care for animals, and I can say with complete confidence that she has a natural gift. Whether it’s feeding, grooming, walking, or just giving them the love and attention they need, Kylee treats every animal with kindness, patience, and responsibility. She’s dependable, gentle, and knows how to handle both playful and shy animals with equal ease. It’s clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with them, and the animals respond so positively to her calm and caring presence. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to leave my pets in her care—she treats them like family. If you're looking for someone who will truly look after your animals with heart and dedication, Kylee is the one you want.

Aaron is an amazing pet caregiver! He has two cats of his own and has not only taken care of their basic needs, but has gone above and beyond to ensure they live healthy and happy lives. I recently adopted a kitten and had little knowledge as to how to take care of her properly. Aaron stepped in and helped me find the correct pet products to purchase for her as well as when to take her to the vet for her vaccines. In short, without his help, I would’ve had a difficult time figuring out how to help my new kitten. All in all, Aaron is a wonderful pet caregiver, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs support for their pet’s needs.

About: Hi my name is Alyssa and I love all kinds of dogs. I have owned dogs and cats all my life and love all the wonderful things they bring to our lives. I have 2 years experience as a Vet Technician, and Kennel Technician so am familiar with almost all breeds and their specific needs. I have plenty of experience with administering medication and can do so if needed. I believe that pets are like children and are valued members of the family. I will send updates and photos so you always know how your loved one is doing. I would love to be a part of your pack and help your dog be as happy and healthy as possible. I look forward to getting to know and caring for your fur baby. I currently work full time, but I have plenty of time outside of work to care for your pet. I am available anytime after 5pm and anytime before 8:30am on weekdays I always make sure that whatever pet is in my care feels comfortable and safe. I’m all about making sure to keep to whatever routines have been established so that they don’t have any added stress.

About: I have a passion for pets and animals in general. I grew up always having multiple pets in the home, and have pet sat for neighbors and family members. I have some experience with administering medications to pets. I have multiple pets of my own currently cats and dogs - I have a large breed mix dog close to 90lbs so for the most part I can handle a bigger pet. Currently I am out of a job and looking. I am also trying to get more animal experience because I would like to find a career working with pets/animals and I aspire to get back into school to earn a degree that will also help me with this venture. So right now I have more free time than usual. I am familiar with crate training if that is something needed for your pet. I can easily understand and will follow any instructions needed for any pet. I care greatly about the safety of your pet, so depending on what is needed I will make the adjustments to ensure yours and your pets comfortability.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life so I’m very much an animal person. I’ve had a few senior dogs so I’m happy to take care of yours too, and oral medications or injectables are no issue. I’m most experienced with small dogs as those are what I have owned but I’ve taken care of large dogs for friends and on Rover. I am not able to take dogs over ~40 pounds at this time. I’ve got a big fenced in yard. There is an unfenced pool so they will not be left out unsupervised. I work part time and make my own schedule so my availability is very open. When I'm home, the pets follow me around as I do my daily activities, and since I make my own schedule, I'm happy to adjust it to their needs. If your pup needs a walk 3x/day, we can do that. When I do need to go out for errands or work, I will put your pup in a crate so that they are not left alone unsupervised; however, this is never longer than four hours. Also, if I have agreed to care for a dog that for example, needs potty breaks every two hours, then I will be sure to make my schedule such that I will be back home at least every two hours for the duration of the stay. I have a 2 small dogs and 3 cats, and I live in my family home. The cats are pretty friendly and will run away to find their own space if need be. My parents' maltipoo, Ollie, is a friend to all and loves to play; Noodle is a little standoffish but there is plenty of room in the house to separate him from guests if they do not get along. Pet care is already a part of my weekly routine, as I have five of my own. Mine are pretty mellow and couch potato-y, although I do take the pups to the dog park a few times a week. We also play fetch often. With guests, I just feed separately to avoid any issues and treat them as though they were my own, with the exception of crating or separating them while I'm away. I do this to ensure safety as my dogs and you pet will still be new to each other, and because it's possible that some pets engage in destructive behaviors due to anxiety while I am away. I’m new to Rover in Bakersfield, but I’ve cared for other people’s pets many times before. The animals just kind of follow me about my day, coming outside with me when I do my laps or go for a walk, sometimes tagging along for errands, and napping at home when they cannot tag along. I’m currently in between jobs so my schedule is wide open! I’ll be moving to finish my schooling in June or July so unfortunately I won’t be able to become your new regular sitter. I treat your pets like they’re my own! I’m very communicative if there are any issues or if I have any questions. I currently only offer care in the client’s home.

Julie was terrific! Our dog is suspicious when others come into the house, even those she sees regularly, but she warmed up to Julie immediately. Julie took her job seriously and went through extra measures to ensure our dog's safety after encountering an aggressive dog while walking her. She sent photos several times a day and even did extras around the house we hadn't specified, like filling the birdbath and watering our outdoor plants. I've already booked Julie for our next trip because I'm afraid that when everyone else finds out how great a pet-sitter Julie is she will be busy when we go out of town. :)
