About: 🐾 40+ Years of Loving Dog Care!!🐾 Hi, I’m Carol — a lifelong dog lover with over 40 years of experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I live in Bakersfield, CA, in a single family home which includes a fenced private backyard where. Whether your pup is here for a quick stop or a day of play, they’ll get the same love, care, and attention I’ve given my own dogs for decades. Your dog will enjoy safe walks, personalized attention, and a calm home environment. I only book 2 dogs max at a time to ensure every pup gets my full attention. Think of me as your dog’s fairy dog-mother — making their time away from you a fun adventure. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I currently work from home so I can devote 100% of my attention to your pets. I walk all of our dogs at least 2x/day or more if needed. My home is a single family residence in a quiet residential neighborhood which includes a small fenced private backyard where your pet has space to run and go potty. I can also take your pet for a stroll around the block if permitted. Feeding is based on your pets specific needs.

About: I grew up in a household full of dogs. They truly are my passion! I’ve raised 3 puppies from birth which included training them. I’ve also taken care of multiple senior dogs that had medical issues. I’ve watched several families dogs and cats for an extended period of time since I was about 13! I love walking/running dogs and could sit and play with them for hours on end but also love to cuddle up and lay with them! I’m very responsible and treat every dog I watch like i’m watching someone’s kid. I am currently in school but only have classes twice a week and am only gone for about 3 hours each day. I work twice a week (usually Thursdays & Fridays) & my hours usually are between 7am-12pm. I have my animals at home and we have our schedule that works for us to sure they're all taken care of before I leave but would be willing to work with you around what works best for your fur baby! Pets are family and they should be treated as such! I walk/run my dogs or the dogs i’m watching everyday, they are taken outside frequently to go potty & are played with and entertained around the clock! I’m a very neat person so I absolutely don’t mind picking up after animals! In my home pets are always welcome on beds or couches and of course my lap! I’ve also watched crate trained dogs so that wouldn’t be a problem for me at all!

“You cannot ask for anyone better than Katrina to walk your dog! She is punctual, knowledgeable about dogs, and she also clearly loves animals. My little terrier came back happy and exercised. Thank you, Katrina!”

“Haley was amazing with Sirius. I had a work emergency out of state and needed someone to walk Sirius during the day while the husband is at work. Luckily, Haley agreed to walk Sirius. She gave him care and attention when I was far away and sent photos during the walks. Would highly recommend Haley and definitely will book her again. Thanks so much for taking care of our pup.”

I have plenty of toys as well if your pup likes to independently play. lots of cuddles and mental stimulation such as lick treats, treat mats, and toys such as kongs, snuffle mat and chew toys

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, from owning my own animals to pet sitting (dogs and cats) and dog walking for others, with some shelter experience as well. I know how important routine and comfort are for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or just extra playtime and attention, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for the whole time.” Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life. I’m home and available for regular walks, feeding times, and playtime throughout the day, so I can keep pets on a consistent schedule. I build check-ins and outdoor time around my normal routine, which means your pet gets steady attention rather than being squeezed in around a busy schedule. When pets stay with me, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they have a comfortable, safe space, stick to their regular feeding and walk schedule, and give plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. I keep a close eye on their behavior and comfort level, especially in the first day or two, to help them settle in. When I care for pets at their own home, I follow the owner’s routine and instructions closely such as feeding times, walk schedules, medications, and any specific habits or preferences the pet has. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, and I make sure to leave the home just as tidy as I found it.

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.

“Tuesday is great with Bailey. Very flexible with scheduling. I feel safe and secure leaving Bailey while I am away, because I know she is in good hands.”
