About: I am a true advocate for our four legged babies because they don’t have a voice. So I will go above and beyond for your furry baby. I cared for an older dog that was severely injured from being hit by a car, and needed special care including administration of medication, to experiencing my Roxi going through pregnancy and birth of 5 puppies and the joy raising a puppy which was one of the puppies and his name is Ace. You tell me what you want, and I will follow your expectations. If you have small dogs, Im the perfect fit for you. Dont take your et to these other sitters that provide large backyard, own big dogs themselves and risk bringing in fleas, ticks and possibly parvo from digging and playing outside.i only host 2 dogs a day/night and if you have a special request, you can have a private booking where no other dogs are being cared for during your pet’s stay, so you feel at peace while you are away. Your furry baby will stay inside with me, and be able to roam freely around the house, i have doggy steps to all furniture, including the bed! I have monitors that allow me to monitor your pet at all times 24/7. My home is clean, up to date with pest control, my pets are current on vaccines including influenza and covid . Im willing to accommodate for you to enjoy your time away from your pet. This includes you coming FROM out of town to events such as funerals, weddings, family gatherings where there might be other not-so-friendly pets. Provide your yourself and your pet peace of mind and a safe place to stay for these types of events. Even if its just a few hours to go out with friends. Don’t leave them home alone. They can come play with us! Very friendly, love to play. Although i have my prefences listed, there are exceptions do don’t hesitate to contact me and let’s talk. Rescue pets and puppies are welcomed. I ask that you bring their favorite toy, the bed they sleep in and please please bring the food they normally eat. They most likely will experience separation anxiety which possibly can cause upset stomach and diarrhea which goes away after 72 hours, so changing the food they eat during their stay will worsen it. All pets eat during meal time and separate locations throughout the house until they are finished. At any time, if something occurs that I feel as a pet owner I would want to know right away about it, I do not hesitate to contact you so that you are aware of the situation. Some examples: your pet jumped off the sofa and landed on their jaw, your pet started vomiting, your pet is showing symptoms of distress, your pet was play fighting with another pet and ended up with a laceration on its skin, are some examples that could happen during your pets stay here. I take it very serious when your pet’s behavior has changed suddenly. None of these have taken place while under my care, But understand, I don’t hesitate to contact you Note: Puppy rates override additional pet rates And if your pet isn't potty trained, please bring pee pads. Notify me if your four legged friend is not fully potty trained. It doesn’t change anything. I just want to be prepared. Im certified at administering CPR to your pet and currently taking courses to be a certified boarder with the American Kennel Club. My pets are my kids and i will treat yours the same way. Loving, cuddling, back massaging, tummy rubbing are all free here!!!🐾🥰❤️🐕‍🦺🦮🐩🐕🐈🐈‍⬛🫶🏼 From September to December and January to June, I board and doggie daycare on weekends and ALL HOLIDAYS. I’m flexible on the drop off/pickup time but understand if its after the time of drop off, it will be considered at the extended rate for going pass that time. For example, if you dropped your furry baby off at 3 PM on Friday and you don’t pick your pet up until 8 PM on Sunday you will get charged an extended rate for the time from 3- 8 pm. If you need to modify any thing regarding the times, please notify me at the time of the booking so that we are on the same page and I can make accommodations to meet your needs. Thank you. Just need 48 hour. notice. Beginning August 14th I'm only available after 3:30 pm daily for drop ins, walks, Fridays after 3:30-sundays at 7pm. and weekends, . Im willing to fit in drop ins, dog walks anytime. Boarding i prefer in my home due to my own friendly dogs i care for. My goal in caring for your pet is to provide an environment that is conducive to their comfort and happiness while you’re away. Your rules will be followed, whether it be in your home or in my home. I live alone and, therefore, my focus and attention is all on your pet. I only care for dogs in my home. I provide plenty of photos and videos for you throughout their stay, i can FaceTime for you to interact with them where you can also talk to your pet for reassurance when your dog is to be cared by me in My Home. Currently Kern county dog parks are having an increase number of parvo cases, so i will not walk the Dogs there. I have a quiet, mature, cul-de-sac that I live in and provide daily walks up and down my street and they do not interact with any other animals. Potty breaks are provided using my medium size. backyard where they can run around i and stretch their legs, but then we come back in and do your activities inside my I, believe in positive reinforcement. I WILL NOT TOLERATE HURTING PETS FOR THEIR BAD BEHAVIOR. 🩷🐾🌸 reward system is the best to train your pet.

“Callie took great care of our furry family while we were out of town. She loves animals and ours loved her! Sent us pics while we were away which was a comfort. Really enjoyed vacation knowing they were in good hands!”

“Crystal was great! I travelled for a while and she visited my cats. She great at contacting me, sending pics, placing food, water and petting them. Came back after several days and they seem very happy ? thanks Crystal”

“Liz C has taken care of my chihuahua many many times. Every single time, my dog doesn’t even want to come back , she’d rather stay with Liz. She provides a safe and fun environment for my dog and treats her like royalty. When something has happened with my dog I always contact her first because I trust what she has to say . I’d trust her with my dog’s life or any other animal 100%.”

“I’m so grateful that I found Breanna! She gave me a piece of mind while I was traveling and I have full confidence in leaving my dog with her. Her years of experience and her knowledge convinced me that she is the best choice on the first date she met my dog. She gained her trust within the first 15 mins despite the fact that my dog doesn’t like strangers and takes a long time to warm up for new faces. For the next following days, Breanna always kept me updated on how my dog was doing. She even went above and beyond to take my dog home so my dog won’t be alone by herself. My dog was never happier under her care. I enjoyed all the photos and cute videos she sent me. Breanna also provided advice on my dog’s joint problem and even trimmed her nails! I honestly felt that my dog had a better vacation than I did :)”

“Fiorela has always had so many dogs in her lifetime. She adores and takes so much care of her dogs. She is very responsible when it comes to dog sitting. I’ve left my dogs with her to dog sit whenever I’m going out of town. I Can definitely count on her, and I know my dogs will be in good hands.”

“Scott has pet-sat for us many times at all stages of our dogs’ lives. He has watched our dogs as energetic pups, and as senior dogs. Scott is a natural when it comes to dogs- he’s a genuine dog-lover and it shows with his warmth and interaction. He has always made sure our dogs are safe and happy. We can always tell that they received lots of love and attention when we come home because they are so calm and at ease. Our dogs have tricky diets/vitamins/meds, and Scott has always meticulously followed instructions. We don’t worry when we leave our dogs in Scott’s care at all, and we highly recommend trusting Scott to care for your animals. They will love him!”

About: Hello! I don’t have extensive pet care experience unfortunately but we all start somewhere! I do want to mention some things that I believe can make you trust in me! 1. I care for the stray cats in my neighborhood! I love those like they’re my own pets. I always bring them food and sit with them. They either see me as a food source or… really have taken a liking to me (I hope it’s this one ahah) because when I drive up to my house, they come up! Adorable cats !! 2. I have pet sitted once in the past! It was 3 doodle dogs who are known to be quite clingy and crazy! It was an experience I will say but we all had lots of fun !! I am a college student here in town so that is always my concern when scheduling! I will be available all Fri-Sun though! For Mon&Wed anything after 3pm is ideal. And Tuesdays and Thursdays are consumed by classes! Pet safety is my number one concern! I will keep an eye out on them the entire time I am there. On walks, if anything were to happen, I assure you, your pet is number one for safety concerns! You can trust me (:

“First time using rover and Haley went above and beyond expectations to make us feel at ease leaving our cats alone while we visited family. The process was easy and fast, would definitely go through Haley again! We got wonderful pictures of our cats as well. We could not be happier with your service!”

“As a pet-sitting business owner, we would hire Barbara to care for my pets in our home. Her character, work ethic, dependability, and treating the animals she cares for like her own, is to be admired. Mike & Kay East East's Home & Pet Care”

“Wendi is amazing! By far, the best pup sitter we have used! She always gives us detailed accounts of how our dogs enjoyed the visit, along with tons of pics! She always goes above and beyond, often spending more time with our dogs than her scheduled thirty minute visit. We trust her in our home and with our pups,and she is simply the greatest, can’t say enough positive things!”

“Elisa has a innate passion for animals and this reflects in the way she cares for pets. She understands that they are family members and she treats them as her own. She is very responsible and attentive to the dog's needs, and she truly goes above and beyond. Elisa makes sure that the dogs feel comfortable and safe around her. Elisa is my go-to person when it comes to taking care of my golden retriever, Rex. She has been dog sitting him for about 8 years now and I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a dog sitter.”
