Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in The Oaks, Bakersfield, CA

“Kelly was an absolute amazing assistance to me while I was in vacation! She remained in constant communication, provided me pictures and was very punctual with her arrivals and departures. You can tell when someone truly loves animals, and I will definitely be booking Kelly in the future!”

“Jaden is amazing! This was our first time booking her to watch our fur kids, Jake and Bailey (doggies) and Moe (an onery cat lol). We've had numerous sitters over the years and some were just terrible. Jaden exceeded my expectations! All I needed her to do was come in twice a day to feed and check on everyone and give out the occasional toy to keep Bailey from eating the furniture lol. She did that and more! She did the poop scooping and cleaned up dog toy stuffing which was greatly appreciated. She even got along with my cat who is an asshole to people she doesn't know lol. We dont go out of town a lot but it's awesome knowing that I have someone like Jaden to care for my fur kids with the same care I do. Normally when we go out of town I stress about t h e person whose taking care of my pets with Jaden I felt stress free and could enjoy our anniversary trip. You will NOT go wrong booking her she is phenomenal!”

“My 2nd time booking and Breanna has been great. She has taken wonderful care of my kitties and even got one of them to come out and play. They are both scared of strangers so that means a lot!”

“Linda was kind, on time, and very conscientious. She is very good with our animals, and asked questions I had not even thought about. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for a few years, mostly for close friends and family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company while their family is away, I’ve always treated pets as my own. I often help with housesitting and babysitting as well, so I’ve learned to also juggle multiple responsibilities. I’m currently home for the summer from college, therefore, I have open availability and the flexibility to provide consistent pet care. With no current academic commitments, I am able to build my daily routine around the pets I care for! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m not afraid to ask clarifying questions about your pets to ensure I am giving them the best care. :)

About: I’ve taken care of pets for the past two years and before that I had my own during childhood! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have short hours at work so I have plenty of time to walk and care for pets throughout the week! I’m also an early riser! My current roommate works long hours so I am the primary caretaker of his two dogs! I feel like their both our dogs at this point.

About: Feel confident, and subtle knowing your fur babies are safe, and in good care! For over 25 years, I have been connected with pets and their owners being called upon at a moments notice to pet sit their fur babies. I immediately build a special bond and connection with animals! Some call me a dog whisperer, Due to my instant bond with even the most high energetic, scared, even aggressive dogs! Pet care of all sizes will be available at a moment notice! Im a traveling pet care taker! Dog care Cat care Dog walking Bird care Farm/ranch Fish/Aquarium Whether you have a fenced in yard, or no fence, I will make sure your dog (s) are active! For the felines, they’ll appreciate the attention they’ll receive ! Your Feline friends will enjoy playing with the fun toys I’ll bring during visits, and walks!

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and now that I’m in the BEST years of that life (retired) I am able and ready to share all of my love and experience with new dogs and people! Although I can’t stay the night in your home, I CAN drop in, feed, play with, give snacks, even administer medication if needed, walk, and when it’s time for them to go to bed, make sure they are all tucked into bed. I can assure you that your fur baby will be loved and comfortable while your away- They will be treated with the love I give my own! As a retired person, I am living the dream, being a stay at home mom of fur children…let me love yours too! I am retired but my day starts with my three dogs at 5 in the morning, Everything I do revolves around them. They go out to use the bathroom then eat and come back in to sleep until around 7:30 then our actual day begins. Each Doodle goes on a mile and a half walk then my little pug, Sophia goes on her walk. Shes a senior so she only goes for as long as she can. This is a daily routine. They LOVE being outside so we spend almost all day outside on the patio playing when it’s nice…. They all love riding in the car so EVERYBODY at the bank, CVS, Dewars,Starbucks knows them by name. Where I go, they go! They have their spots in the car and they know their places. My kids are grown but I am definitely NOT an empty nester, they are my life and fulfill me 100%. For their safety with all the craziness happening in the world, as much as they love being outside, they are NEVER left outside when I am not home. They are brought inside and have been crate trained since they were 7 weeks old. It is their safe place and they love their crates. It’s where they sleep and where they eat too.

“Thank you!!!”

“Heidi took good care of my dog. Guala has just gotten spayed and I needed someone to watch her while I left town, Heidi watched her and gave her medicine. She updated me with messages and pictures, and my baby looked so happy. Her house was clean and looked safe for my dog. She is the most trustful person to leave your pets with. I am so happy with the care that she provide and now I know who to leave her with next time.”

“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!”

About: I am a teacher with extra time to help with any pet sitting - last minute or planned ahead! I am willing to travel to others homes to feed your pets, take them on walks, give them baths or whatever is needed! Over the summer I will have many weekdays and weekends completely open for pet sitting jobs. Beginning mid August, I teach full time in an elementary school 8-3:30. Whatever your safety rules are, I will adhere to. Having taken care of babies as well for many years, I have a high sense of safety when someone's precious cargo is in my hands.

“Kat has been a Godsend. She has been there last minute when we needed coverage and has changed our dog for the better!”

“We were very happy with Wendi’s visit! She was quite reliable and trustworthy, and my dogs (all 3) seemed to love her! Will absolutely rebook again!”

“Tatum was awesome with my pitbull! I requested last minute for her to check in on him and walk him for 4th of July weekend, and she came to meet him before and get aquatinted with everything that I was needing. She was very quick with communication and helpful to teach me how everything on Rover worked since this was my first time. I highly recommend her to work with your pups if you ever need!”

About: I have had a dog of my own for 6 years now. Some more in past years. I have taken care of my friends and families pets for years now. Pets can be scared and intimidating but I know that with my love and patience with pets they do become comfortable with me. I work with kids, but my schedule is really flexible and I have breaks in between each client which gives me the opportunity to check up on pets. I have a fenced yard with two dogs. One of them is Charlie, a poodle/shih tzu, who is super sweet and the other dog is my sisters, who is a Rottweiler named Blue. Blue and Charlie are both sweet dogs. Blue is very energetic and playful and has never been aggressive as well as Charlie. Charlie mainly stays in my room in his kennel and Blue stays separated from the backyard and stays in the side area or in his kennel in the garage. All pets have always been separated but do give them opportunities to play with each other often and supervised.

About: Hi my name is Alyssa and I love all kinds of dogs. I have owned dogs and cats all my life and love all the wonderful things they bring to our lives. I have 2 years experience as a Vet Technician, and Kennel Technician so am familiar with almost all breeds and their specific needs. I have plenty of experience with administering medication and can do so if needed. I believe that pets are like children and are valued members of the family. I will send updates and photos so you always know how your loved one is doing. I would love to be a part of your pack and help your dog be as happy and healthy as possible. I look forward to getting to know and caring for your fur baby. I currently work full time, but I have plenty of time outside of work to care for your pet. I am available anytime after 5pm and anytime before 8:30am on weekdays I always make sure that whatever pet is in my care feels comfortable and safe. I’m all about making sure to keep to whatever routines have been established so that they don’t have any added stress.

About: As a pet parent of eight years, I have extensive experience caring for specifically cats. However, I have experience dog sitting for my sibling—including caretaking for a two month old puppy. In general, my experience dog sitting consists of house sitting for multiple days in a row and two to three 1 hour walks per day for a single pet (much of my experience caretaking for dogs has been with high energy cattle dogs). Furthermore, I have experience pet sitting kittens. I love caring for our furry friends and would love to share my experience and passionate with the community! Currently, I am on summer break so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friend! I’m available throughout the week including the weekends. Hope to hear from you soon :-) As a pet sitter, I follow the instructions given to me by clients to a T—only pivoting if instructed by the client or in case of an emergency. In cases of an emergency, the client will be contacted immediately and their pet will be taken to an emergency veterinary if necessary or as instructed by the client. The health and wellness of the client’s pet is of the utmost importance.
