House Sitting in Stone Meadows, Bakersfield, CA

“This was my first time using Rover and Joshua was great with my senior dog and kitten! He made himself available on very short notice even though he prefers more notice. He was on time asked questions and Storm and Kevin took to him right away. We could enjoy our nephew’s graduation knowing the pets were being taken care of because he was sure to update with pictures and video throughout the day. Thanks again Josh!”

“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!”

“Juliann (nickname is June) was awesome with our fur babies! June sent pictures and messages regularly and wasn’t shy to ask any questions, as they came up, to be sure the best care was given. Our house was clean and taken care of too. I would definitely recommend June to house sit/pet sit, and will definitely be my first call next time I need a sitter! Thx, June! - Erin”

“Scott is the perfect candidate for a pet sitter and dog walker. I have known Scott for almost four years. He loves all pets and I know him as a responsible and caring pet owner. His last pet, an Australian Shepherd that Scott raised from a puppy, died a few months ago at age 14. An example of Scott's care for his Aussie is that during the last few years of his dog's life — when the dog couldn't go on long walks anymore — Scott swam with his dog in his backyard pool several times a day. During cooler months, Scott maintained the pool water temperature at 80°so the dog wouldn't feel cold. I am a retired registered nurse and I highly recommend Scott for your program.”

“We found Savannah, talked with her, and decided to book her. We were gone for 9 days. Savannah sent us pictures and updates of Indiana almost daily. She spent the nights and cared for Indiana very well. We felt secure that he was in good hands. Indiana was very happy to have Savannah, and he responded very well to her. We would recommend Savannah as a pet and house sitter and will use her again!”

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

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!

“Daniela was a life saver for my pup and I ; she was able to help me out in a crisis and was very responsive and provided updates to me timely which made me feel very comfortable! I will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I love all animals and feel most happy when I am around them. Caring for pets has been my desire since I was a child. I currently have a lot of free time. I am available to watch and care for your pets. Your pets will be safe with me. I have a big front and backyard both with separate fences. I also have 3 available crates in my home and 2 friendly dogs home.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of animals (mainly farm animals) I’ve volunteered at horse and donkey rescue farms so I’ve got to be with many dogs, horses, pigs, cows, & zebra hah. I like training puppies mostly because it’s a really hilarious experience since they are goofy, my pup is still in training herself. I have had 3 senior dogs personally, two have passed due to age and the third is still going on at about 16yrs (probably more since he was a stray hah) but I give him lots of supplements and have him on his own diet that’s very strict so I’m familiar with puppy feeding schedules as well as senior. Pretty easily I’d say I’m a morning person due to my job of working overnights, 9am feedings and afternoon is around 4-5pm, we go to a local park 5 days out of the week for about an hour or two (mainly until my pup is tired) and play fetch to let her stretch her legs, we go on hikes when the weather is good for the both of us as well (no burning paws around here with the hot pavement or dirt!) We usually let them roam (if potty trained) I have one indoor cat that bounces off the walls since he’s very energetic, my other cat is an outdoor kind of gal, she was a stray when I found her so she prefers outside over anything. I have a big yard I’m not sure the measurements but it’s about 40-45ft wide, good amount of space for a GSD, but I have to occupy her with a finding treat game or a hide treat to chew on since she does tend to rip branches off my tree (she’s happy with her talent but it’s very messy) I like to keep my eye on them. Especially if rules apply to others homes then I will respect it, no bad behavior in the house! I keep small objects or anything that looks like a dog or cat can ingest away or thrown out

“My first experience with this service, and Sydney made it a wonderful one. I felt confident my doggie was being cared for, and that meant I could relax. Sydney sent updates and pictures too.. Thank you Sydney!”

“Eva has always been great with animals, especially mine. I have always I trusted her to babysit my cat and dogs in the past. She has always kept me updated which has always given me a sense of peace knowing my animals are safe. Eva’s has always been the first people that comes to mind when I need assistance with little care or even care for days when I’ve gone out of town.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from dogs to rabbits. I have been a huge animal lover since I was a kid. I had a friend once joke and say that my pets had better health insurance than her because of how much I loved and cared for my pets. Clients, friends and family always ask me first if I can take care of their pets when they are gone. I am always reliable and love their pets as my own. I will let your dogs out for potty breaks in between my day at work. They will get unconditional love and attention. My best friend is my pug. My fur babies are my children and will treat your pet the same way. I’m self employed running my own business that has busy days and slow days. If I am responsible for the care of someone’s animals I will make sure to schedule around their care. Potty breaks, food and attention will be considered first. I am a very easy going and responsible person. I have a fenced yard and a doggy door. My pug is the biggest social butterfly and welcomes anyone who comes in our home including cats. She was raised with cats so she loves them like they are her people. Haha She loves to have new doggy friends too. I spoil her like crazy so your pet will be given the same attention and care. I take their safety very seriously. If you have rules for your pet in your home I will abide by those rules.

“Noah is absolutely wonderful with our 7 yr old Shih-tsu. He has house sat for us numerous times and has taken care of our dog. We’ve always had great experiences with him and our fur baby loves him! I’d highly recommend Noah!”

About: I grew up rescuing strays and fostering many pets of all sizes. I know they are more than just your pets they are your family. I work part time at a retail store but am very flexible schedule to help watch your fur babies while you are away from home. I promise they will get the best care possible and will get plenty of attention and send you updates on them if you would like.

“Julie is the absolute best! This was my first booking with her and will definitely not be my last. She was very attentive, loving, thorough and responsible in taking great care of Bear in my home. The updates and pics were much appreciated. I came home to a very happy doggo. She goes the extra mile by being well informed about your pet and leaves a report card on your pet during her stay. I highly recommend Julie’s services.”

“Lizbeth has been my biggest help with my dog. Whenever I need someone to look out for my husky rocky, I can trust Lizbeth will give him the care he needs. He can be a bit high maintenance but liz always handles the situation greatly 😊”
