House Sitting in Southgate, Bakersfield, CA

“John-Michael did a wonderful job of house-sitting to take care of our two 5 year old high-energy herder dogs while we were out-of-state for the holidays. He was in daily contact with me via text, regularly sent photos and videos and messages so that I felt looped in to the action back home, picked up dog treats and used them to train our super active pups, and checked in with me promptly a couple times when there was trouble - runaway dogs, ticks. He left the house in better shape that he found it. Overall, he did a very professional job.”

“Esther took great care of my very old dog, gave his meds and put up with his very early schedule, and feed my 4 kitties too❤️I recommend her to everyone 🎉”

About: Anyone can say they love dogs. Dogs are just so easy to love. But not everyone an say that they can give dogs the love and care that they deserve. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my attention to detail. About 5 years ago, my dog Toto developed cataracts in his eyes and needed surgery so retain his sight. After his eye surgery, he needed several different eye drops every day to maintain his vision and keep his eyes healthy. For 5 years, I have made sure that his eyes received the medication they needed so that he can remain the spunky, lazy, happy dog that he is. I have also often taken care of my previous neighbor's elderly dog who also needed regular, scheduled medication. Without fail, he received his medication on time, even if I did have to wrap them up in a treat. If you want peace of mind when you have to leave your furry friends for a while, I'll provide the care that you need and they deserve! I am currently working full time (8am-5pm) but I can make short visits in between my work hours if needed. I am also available after 5pm on days that I am needed. I am always willing to tailor my services based on what your needs are. Whether you pet is a finicky eater, a shy one in the bathroom, or just needs regular medication, I can make sure your pet's quirks are well taken care of so that you don't have to worry while you are gone. I also provide regular photo updates along with my services so that you can be assured that your furry friends are happy, healthy, and thriving!

“She is great, she allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry using her again for when going out of town.”

About: As a loving pet owner myself, I understand the importantance of finding a caretaker that you trust. I will love your pets as I do my own. I will make sure your pets are happy and cared for regardless of breed, size or age. You will have peace of mind knowing I am caring for your beloved pets while you are away. I have pets that have to be cared for in a specific manner, so I understand the importance of following instructions to be sure your pets are safe. I do not work outside the home. My time is not limited or scheduled. My girls are home schooled so we have no other commitments than to be sure your pets are cared for. I am able to come to your home as a drop in, or stay in your home while you are away. I do not board in my home due to aggressive pets of my own.

“Angeline is awesome! She took care of our cat and our elderly desert tortoise during our 11 day summer vacation. She made it her priority to ensure our pets and home were well taken care of. Angeline provided daily check ins with us along with cute pictures. She went beyond our expectations especially when faced with the uncertainty of the tropical storm Hillary and the safety of our desert tortoise. She is kind, thoughtful, and responsive. I highly recommend Angeline for pet sitting needs. She will care for your pets as if they were her own.”

“Best ever! My dog loves her!”

About: I have had experience at an animal daycare where pets boarded overnight. I've worked with animals from pugs to pitbulls! I also own two cats. I work overnight shifts from 11:30PM-8:30AM on weekdays and 9:30PM-6:30AM on weekends. During those hours, animals can sleep inside, I have an EBO camera to watch them during the night. They should be asleep during these hours. I don’t work during the daytime so I can keep an eye on any fur babies I’m sitting. Most time will be spent outdoors if the weather is nice. There’s also multiple dog parks in the area that I can drive to. In a clients home, I'm open to any rules and regulations implemented by the client. I like to spend as much time outside with pets as possible. If no outdoor space, I'm okay with staying inside. I'm also open to traveling to nearby parks for playtime and potty time. In my house, again, I like to spend as much time with the pets outside as possible. My neighborhood is very pet friendly and there are several dog parks and other parks nearby. My apartment has an open yard if owner doesn't want pet to travel far. If owner requires only indoor care, I have potty pads and treats on hand. I do own two cats that will be kept away from non cat-friendly animals. CAN PROVIDE UPDATES IN THE FORM OF PICTURES, VIDEOS, AND TEXTS IF REQUESTED! I love to keep owners up to date on their pets.

“Maya was the most considerate and kind young woman that I could ask for in a dog sitter. She took care of my old little chihuahua with such affection. I can tell she has a real passion for animals and you will not regret going with her for anything that you might need for your pets.”

“Kharlee is fantastic! Kharlee dogsat for my 3 while I was gone on a trip and stayed with them at my home. This was my first time using a dog sitter and It was exactly what I was looking for - and I just came home to 3 very happy and safe puppers. Kharlee was awesome with communication and sending pictures and updates. She also made a point to do multiple meet and greets with my pups to make sure they would be comfortable with her. I will 100% be using Kharlee again and am stoked to have found someone my dogs are so happy with! :)”

About: From the time I was born there has always been a animal in the house. I have own or care for some really Exotic animals. From a Von Derk Decken Hornbill to a pony. I want to be that pet sitter who will send you pictures or answer your questions at really random hours. If your going on a trip on the other side of the world. I want to be the person who doesn't have open and closing hours. I believe animals should wear Identification at all times when in a new place. That leachs should be on before door are ever unlocked. Cats in carries before doors are unlocked. I have two dogs of my own and I love taking them with me and will plane trips around them going but some times they just can't go. I hate asking family or friends to watch them because I don't think anyone is as over bearing as me and will not watch them like I do lol. So I want to be that person for other people too. So I work 12 hour shifts on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday from 5pm to 5:30am. I am OK with taking pets those days but I just need people to know at night I'll have to put them up. In my house my dogs are played and watched around the clock. We work on simple task and training. Seen my basset hound is still young we are working on potty training. We go to the vet over the smallest things because I am that crazy dog mom lol. Mostly we play and play and play. At other people houses we follow their rules to a T. If pets need to be brushed then we brush. If pets need boil water then filter throw a tear bag then we do it. I want to do it how you do it so it doesn't stress them. So when you come home you animal is safe and happy and healthy.

“Left my 4 month puppy overnight, she was awesome and kept me posted and sent me pictures.. definitely will hire Crystal again.. thank you Crystal!”

“Jill was very great from the start! She took care of our puppy, older dog and 2 cats for 4 days. She followed all the care instructions and sent us pictures everyday, it was such a relief knowing our home was being cared for. Would love to have her watch our babies again!”

“If I have to go out of town, Jennia will come to my house to feed my pup, Rico and my cat, Skitty Monroe. I give her access to my house to stop in to feed them twice a day with play time each visit. My furbabies love her. She is very gentle and kind with a heart that loves animals. She is sure to send videos and pictures of Rico and Skitty which helps me to be at ease knowing that they are well taken care of.”

“Coming from the Veterinary field, Eva works extremely well with animals. For short while, I lived with Eva and many times did she babysit my troublesome cat, Teddy. Eva did make sure to feed him twice a day, made sure he had fresh water and gave him lots of TLC. Normally, Teddy is very antisocial with everyone except for me but Teddy made an exception with Eva.”
