Pet Sitting in Stevens

About: Hi, I'm Darron, but most people know me as Dingo. For most of my life I've been guiding people through outdoor adventures. From whitewater rafting on the Kern River to exploring the backroads and trails of Kern County, helping others experience the outdoors has always been my passion. Today, I bring that same passion to dogs. I founded Dingo's Wild Side because I believe most dogs need more than a walk around the block. They need opportunities to run, sniff, explore, problem solve, and experience the world the way dogs were designed to. Every adventure is built around safety, enrichment, and fun. Whether your dog joins a small pack hike or enjoys a one-on-one solo adventure, my goal is simple: Send them home tired, fulfilled, and smiling. What Makes Me Different Small Pack Sizes I intentionally keep groups small so every dog receives personal attention. Real Outdoor Adventures These aren't neighborhood walks. Dogs explore ranches, trails, river corridors, parks, and natural areas throughout Kern County. Adventure With Purpose Every outing provides: Physical exercise Mental stimulation Confidence building Socialization Environmental enrichment Safety First Every adventure is carefully planned around weather, terrain, group dynamics, and each dog's individual needs. My Experience Hundreds of dog adventures completed Professional outdoor guide background Experienced with large and high-energy breeds Comfortable with multi-dog management Experienced with reactive and shy dogs Strong understanding of canine behavior and body language When your dog joins me for an adventure, you can expect: Safe transportation Careful pack management Plenty of exercise Fresh air and exploration Photo updates Clear communication Most importantly, your dog will have an experience that goes beyond a typical walk. My Promise I treat every dog like an individual. Some dogs need miles of hiking. Some need confidence. Some simply need a chance to get outside and be a dog. My job is to figure out what your dog needs and help them thrive. Caring for dogs isn't something I do on weekends—it's my full-time career. I've built my life around helping dogs stay active, engaged, and happy through safe, enriching outdoor adventures. I love dogs, and I take the responsibility of caring for them seriously. Welcome to a full acre of dog heaven. Plenty of room to run, plenty of friends to play with, and endless attention from someone who truly loves dogs. Dingo's Wild Side was built with your dog's happiness, safety, and enrichment in mind. From the moment they arrive until the moment they head home, they'll be treated like a valued member of our extended family. With years of experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I make it my mission to provide more than just supervision. Your dog will enjoy exercise, socialization, mental stimulation, and real outdoor adventure. Grooming services can even be arranged during their stay, making pickup easy and convenient. Every dog deserves excitement, challenge, and the opportunity to simply be a dog—and that's exactly what they'll find here.

About: I have taken care of senior dogs who require medicine doses and health monitoring. I have also cared for very young puppies and kittens who have needed to be bottle fed. I foster kittens a lot and it truly is so rewarding to see them grow healthy and enjoy life. I have had pets at my home and I have house sat and kept an eye on pets. I just graduated high school May 2026 so I have a lot of free time. I wake up early in the morning and just do tasks around the house. I am home full time right now. I have siblings but more importantly one 9 year old brother who is gentle with animals and understands how they should be treated. I have a lot of free time on my hands and i am very flexible so any routine a pet already has at your home can also be matched with me. I also am able to drive. Our backyard is fenced and we do not have any permanent pets in the home right now. We do sometimes have foster pups or kittens which are kept in a bedroom that has a code lock on it so they can be nursed to good health in peace.

“Our cat is a senior gentleman and needed a little extra attention and two visits per day. Olivia was reliable with great communication, and we felt totally comfortable with her in charge of our kitty's care. Great pet-sitter, and we'd definitely use her again!”

“Glenda took phenomenal care of our Maya. She stopped by before the first visit just to get to know Maya a bit… we came home a few days later to a happy, calm and relaxed Belgian Malinois. This is a big deal! She’s a natural dog whisperer, trustworthy and prompt. Thank you, Glenda!”

“Haley did a great job taking care of out cat while we were away for a weekend. And she took some great pictures of our cat too! Great job overall! Definitely recommend.”

About: Hello! First I want to thank you for giving me the time to tell you a little about myself. I have been taking care of all types of animals especially dogs and cats since as far back as I can remember! I love caring for all types of animals and have references. Your fur baby will be well taken care of with frequent walks and play time! I tailor my care to your fur baby’s specific needs. I am also experienced in giving medicine. Thank you for taking the time to read this and best of luck in finding the right fit for your fur baby. I’m currently devoting myself to animal care full time so I am very flexible and can work with most schedules! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Every animal is unique so I tailor my schedule and the fur baby’s schedule with what the owner/fur parent prefers and based on each baby’s needs. I do encourage play time - plenty of walks and lovings.

About: I focus on giving each dog consistent attention, patience, and a calm environment so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow care instructions exactly, keep routines consistent, and communicate clearly with daily updates and photos. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s behavior and energy level, making sure they get the right balance of play, rest, and care while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine in a very consistent and flexible way. I naturally build my schedule around reliability and attention to detail, so I’m used to checking in on responsibilities throughout the day rather than letting things pile up. On a daily basis, I can dedicate time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and any needed check-ins on weekends. Evenings during the week. I’m good at adjusting my schedule to match the pet’s routine, whether that means early morning walks or evening drop-ins. On a weekly level, I plan ahead so I can make sure I’m available for longer care periods like overnights or multiple visits per day. I’m also comfortable being consistent with routines like medication schedules, exercise, and keeping the pet’s environment clean and safe. Overall, I treat pet care like a real responsibility, not something I “fit in” when convenient I structure my time around it to make sure the pet stays comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping the pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow the instructions exactly as provided feeding schedule, portion sizes, walk times, medication (if any), and any specific behavior or care notes about the pet. For daily care, I make sure the pet gets attention, exercise, and interaction, not just basic needs. That can include walks, playtime, accidents if needed, refreshing water, and making sure the home is kept tidy and secure while I’m there. I’m also careful about safety double checking doors, gates, leashes, and making sure pets don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I pay attention to how the pet is acting so I can notice any changes in mood, appetite, or behavior and communicate that right away if something seems off. I don’t just “stop by and do tasks” I treat it like I’m temporarily responsible for the pet’s wellbeing and comfort, and I make sure they feel calm and cared for while their owner is away.

I can provide quick, detailed insights and support on animal care, medication, and potential health concerns, acting as a powerful informational resource for you. Im a vet assistant, pet care isn't just a task, it's a passion woven into my daily routine.

Santa Barbra im a veterinary assistant background, providing a safe and enriching environment for every pet is my top priority, whether they're in my home or theirs.

About: Hi, I’m Alec. I’ve been around dogs and cats for over 20 years, and what sets me apart is my drive and hunger to provide the best care possible. I don’t just “watch” pets—I stay engaged, attentive, and focused on their comfort and safety. I take pride in being dependable, consistent, and going the extra step so your pets are well cared for every time. My schedule as a 1099 contractor is very flexible, and outside of work my routine is mostly going to the gym, spending time with family, and occasionally taking vacations. Because of that flexibility, pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle—I can easily adjust my time and prioritize pet sitting when needed. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I will care for pets in a calm, safe, and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure their basic needs are always met, including feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and daily exercise like walks and playtime. In my home, I keep the space clean, quiet, and pet-friendly so animals feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so the pet feels secure in a familiar environment and experiences as little disruption as possible.

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! Across our expansive property of four acres, my husband and I provide dogs and cats (and horses) of all ages the space they need to stretch out and be comfortable. 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. Unless otherwise requested by you, your canine will have free reign of completely fenced our property. Both inside and out! 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.

“Nalani was very friendly to me and my dogs. They liked her immediately. She always showed up on time and took great care of them, giving meds to my older dog. Both dogs were in good spirits when we got home.”

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: As someone who has owned pets, I have years of experience in caring for both cats, dogs, lizards, and bunnies! When I could not locate a proper groomer for my shihtzu, I learned how cut my dog’s hair and clip his nails. When I owned cats, I did extensive research on diet to ensure they had all the nutrition they needed. I’m still fairly new to owning bunnies but I have learned a lot from vet visits and testimonials from other bun parents! I work during the day time usually from 8-1 or 9-3. I can fit late afternoon and nightly check ins, baths, walks, overnight sitting, and errands into my day if that’s what you’d like. I would love to spend as much time as I can making sure that your pet is well loved and taken care of. I don’t want to break an animal’s routine so if you have your pet on a schedule/routine, diet, or regiment of some sort, I plan to stick to that.

About: Pet sitting and house sitting has always been a fun, exciting task for me. I have been taking care of pets for a long time and I make sure I do the job well. I am always looking for new experiences and new learning opportunities! I am currently a student athlete at Vanguard Universiry and my availability is normally free throughout the weekends. I am looking to fill my time with new loving pets! I make sure all the fences are locked and crates as well and I want to make sure the pets are comfortable. With my pets, I make sure their water is filled, they went to the bathroom if they are staying inside, and I make sure the doors are closed in case they wander around. I also like to make sure their bed is out and comfortable for them.

About: I have experience and patience to deal with dogs. My house is well maintenance and have a big yard for dogs to run around and play I have the time to do it. They just need to let me know with time what days and times will they drop off and pick up I keep them in a save enviroment. Feed them as told by per owner. Will have them in good care. And I have the time to care for the dogs and take them for a walk

About: I’m a dedicated 21 year old dog lover who currently cares for two rescued female puppies. They are friendly and fixed :) Raising young shelter dogs has given me hands-on experience with puppy routines, socialization, basic training, exercise, and lots of patience. I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. Growing up, I also owned a Chihuahua and spent time dog walking for others ever since I was a kid, which helped me learn how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with active puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need extra attention and reassurance. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to stay close to home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I care for my own two young dogs every day, so pet care is already a major part of my routine. When I'm not working, I spend time walking, training, playing with, and caring for them. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care and make sure they receive the attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, dogs have access to a large, securely fenced yard where they can play, exercise, and explore safely under supervision. I also have a large crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet place to relax. If a dog needs their own space, I can separate them using a dog gate and provide a comfortable area in my home where they can rest safely. I always monitor interactions between pets and make sure each dog is comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels at home.
