“Rene was absolutely the best! Renee proved to be a great Dog sitter! She was not only capable and cheerful, but very professional also. She opened her arms and home to my "Smokey", her family interacted well giving him the love and attention, we all want when we leave our precious pets. I highly recommend her and will use her again myself. There isn't any hesitation knowing my dog will be given exceptional care.”

“Nalani is a great sitter! She is very sweet. I was so lucky to find her during a last minute trip. She sent videos and pictures of Bailey throughout the day and replied promptly. I will definitely contact her again on my next trip.”


“We have been bringing our Minnie to Barbara to daycare and over night boarding off and on for the last 4 months. Minnie loves it at Barbara’s. This last boarding, we were away on vacation for 2 weeks. We received constant communication. Minnie always looked very happy, especially having Barbara’s own 2 dogs to play with as well. When we came to pick Minnie up, she was so happy. Barbara did a fantastic job caring for our fur baby while we were away. We will continue to use Barbara’s services.”

“Shanna is tremendously great and wonderful! She definitely gave my dog son Luca a warm welcome. I would seriously recommend her again to others who need to board their pets. 5/5!!!!!”

“Jennifer was AMAZING! This was the first time we’ve left our dog with anyone except family (he is 13 yrs old), and we will definitely use her again. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated daily which made our trip even more enjoyable knowing he was having fun too. Thank you so much, Jennifer! Rocky has a new BFF!!”

“Misty Blue (my GSP) had so much fun. It was a last minute request and Veronica immediately responded. I was very thankful and I am a happy client. I will be using her services in the future if I ever need a sitter. She periodically sent me updates on Misty which eased my mind.”

“Alondra watched my dog while I was out of town for a extended weekend. I was sent photos and videos of her everyday. I felt completely comfortable the whole time I was away; I knew that Abbie was well taken care of and safe. I would recommend having her sit your dog, I plan on using her again when I need a sitter.”

“Angelita was great! She took great care of our English bulldog Taz. Even though he is a high maintenance dog, she still took the time to do his daily wrinkle cleansing and we really appreciate that. She was very accommodating to a last minute extension of our trip. We are thankful for the care of our fur baby.”

“Just moved to Bakersfield recently and had Julie watch/board my dog Tank for the first time over the weekend. Definitely will use her again. Got photos throughout the weekend of Tank and his new buddies (other dogs) playing and hanging out at the ranch. He’s nice and pooped from his fun and eventual weekend!”
“Breanna is the best! She has watched Lily for us several times. It is so nice to go out of town and not have to worry about our dog. We know she is in good hands. Lily comes home clean and worn out from playing with her friends.”


“We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter! They took amazing care of our two dogs and treated them like their own. We really appreciated all the frequent updates—photos, messages, and check-ins that kept us totally at ease. It was clear how sweet and loving they were with our pups. We came home to two very happy dogs! Highly recommend and would absolutely book with them again.”

“This my second time booking and once again never disappoints! I absolute love my sitter she’s so thoughtful and detailed and the unlimited cute pics of my pup with others always makes me feel melted and happy. I’m so happy I can be a regular! Demi is Top Tier!!!!!”

“I’ve never had my dogs literally excited once they realized they were being dropped off at a dog sitter before. This is my second time using Sara and when I was standing at her front door to drop them off, my elderly dog was scratching at the door to be let in! Both dogs immediately acted like she was family. Highly recommend”

“This is our second time booking with Maribel. She gave us daily updates and sent us tons of photos. Our dogs love her and she took great care of them. I think I found my permanent dog sitter. 11/10 would recommend!”

“Adriana was incredible with my senior dog! I'm completely obsessed with him & she made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. She did an amazing job sending me pictures & updates on him. I would 100 percent use her again as well as highly recommend her to friends & family. Thank you Adriana!!!!”
“Stephanie would get 10 starts from me if Rover allowed. She was super responsive, made me feel super comfortable by showing me her backyard set up. She sent me an update about my pup to reassure me that she was safe and having a great time. Thank you so much Stephanie, you were great! My dog and your dog got along so well and boy did my dog rest ALL day when she was back LOL”
“Akie was nothing but AMAZING to Molly ! ❤️ I know if Molly can talk she would definitely tell me how great Akie treated her ! Akie was super sweet from the second we met her ! Constantly sent me pictures and videos throughout the day ! Kept me Updated with everything ! It was my first time ever using this app and leaving Molly with someone I never met. Akie had nothing but great reviews so it made me feel more than comfortable leaving Molly with her. Akie made this one of the best experiences ever !She made our first experience so smooth !

“Katrina was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my two cats!

Levi has allergies so we make sure to always apply topical remedies and purchase a high quality kind of dog food.

About: I am a Fear Free certified veterinary technician of 13 years who grew up in the show dog world (AKC) before getting into rescue as an adult. Throughout my long-lived animal career I have participated in puppy/kitten/basic obedience training, behavioral rehabilitation, dog sport training, senior care, care for animals with extreme medical needs, and owned/operated a group play doggie daycare. My jobs, hobbies, and passions are all centered around animals and I can't wait to bring that passion to you! I am home full-time, and available for puppies and animals with heavy needs. I have a fairly set schedule for all of the pets in my care, and that level of routine provides comfort to even the most nervous of pups. I am the only Fear Free pet carer in Bakersfield! I provide comforting classical music as well as calming pheromones in the sleeping spaces to make their stay as stress-free as possible. I have a fenced yard and never leave dogs together unsupervised. I do not provide an environment suitable for animals with a history of dog aggression. Small dogs I can be more flexible with, as their attitude usually comes from a place of fear and that is something I can work with for the little guys.
“This was first time leaving my dog. I was a little nervous since we were in town for my husbands work so I was not familiar with the area, people or just leaving him. Nalani did a great job making it comfortable for me. I took my dog to her two days and it was such a great experience. He did well and Nalani gave him lots of attention. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby while we were in town. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life. At age 11 I took over the majority of the care of my cats, dogs, chickens, llama, and guinea pig. I have cared for many special needs and senior cats and dogs. I have fostered several litters of kittens as well and all the special needs kittens have been foster fails. I absolutely adore senior critters most of my childhood cats lived to the age of 16 to 19 so I learned to appreciate the time I get with them. My experience with special needs animals includes, many kittens that were born with genetic difficulties, such as heart and breathing issues, compromised immune systems and limb deformities. As well as my rescued senior chihuahua that had a rib deformity. If you have any special needs or senior pets I will make sure that they receive all the care and attention they deserve. I am available most days of the week, I spend most days in Bakersfield and I have to go to Tehachapi for one to three days a week to take care of my mom’s pets and property I will follow all instructions leave your house just as you left it and make sure all doors are locked if you have any extra security measures such as alarms I will make sure they are set when I leave

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.

About: I studied to be come a vet assistant at high dessert medical college, where I also took an extern ship with task that included, helping take care of animals for boarding, injured animals, and animals before and after surgeries. I have skill with proper animal care and proper husbandry. I am currently working part time at the blvd so they won’t be alone for more then an 8hour shift and I only work one 8hr shift a week so ill be home most of the time when pets are in my care I will allow pets full access to my room and living room (I do have young siblings in my house so I would keep pets in my room if the kids are being to rough) while taking them on walks during the day and night or as needed I’ll feed them to owner preference along with 24/7 access to plenty of water I do understand I have a small apartment but I live close to a park with a dog area to take them for few hours twice a day while it is fresh outside unless otherwise specified by owner.
About: I am a Fear Free certified veterinary technician of 13 years who grew up in the show dog world (AKC) before getting into rescue as an adult. Throughout my long-lived animal career I have participated in puppy/kitten/basic obedience training, behavioral rehabilitation, dog sport training, senior care, care for animals with extreme medical needs, and owned/operated a group play doggie daycare. My jobs, hobbies, and passions are all centered around animals and I can't wait to bring that passion to you! I am home full-time, and available for puppies and animals with heavy needs. I have a fairly set schedule for all of the pets in my care, and that level of routine provides comfort to even the most nervous of pups. I am the only Fear Free pet carer in Bakersfield! I provide comforting classical music as well as calming pheromones in the sleeping spaces to make their stay as stress-free as possible. I have a fenced yard and never leave dogs together unsupervised. I do not provide an environment suitable for animals with a history of dog aggression. Small dogs I can be more flexible with, as their attitude usually comes from a place of fear and that is something I can work with for the little guys.
About: I've been around cats and dogs all my life. I'm a trained dog bather, I've also trained Huskys, Beagles, Havanese, and many mixed breeds.I am excellent at playing fetch and keep away. I currently have open availability. I am able to check in with your pets multiple times a day. I also am available for overnight stays. I have a secure patio for my dog. My clients have fenced in yards. There are toys inside and outside at my house and at my clients. There are also multiple water bowls.

About: I began to offer pet-sitting to friends and family just for some dog breath and tail wags in my life after my dog passed away. A family member told me about Rover and - here I am! I know how important pets are to the families they love and how important it is to have peace of mind that they are in good hands while you're away. I will ensure that your fur baby has all that they need while they wait on their favorite human/s to come home. I've taken care of a dogs for most of my life. My childhood dog was one of my best friends. We would play together for hours and I was responsible to feed, bathe, and clean up after him. He loved belly rubs and going with us on family walks. When the neighbor's dogs broke through the fence and attacked him, I was the one who flushed and cleaned his wounds, changed his bandages, and nursed him back to health after he came home from the vet. He became diabetic when he grew old and I gave him his insulin shots. I also had an outdoor cat, and pet sat for a neighbor who had an iguana, fish, water turtles, and cockatiels. As an adult, I adopted a pit-mix rescue and we enjoyed obedience training, going to the dog park, car rides for a pup cup, going for walks, and playing tug-of-war. Last year, he was diagnosed with an oral tumor and he needed lots of extra care during his last months. He needed medication 3 times a day, a specialized diet when it became difficult for him to eat kibble, and eventually hand-feeding for him to be able to eat at all. He passed away 14 years old. I wouldn't trade one minute. I'm currently working part-time in the morning and would love to spend my afternoons with animals. If you need someone to care for your pet mid-day, we're the perfect match. I provide care where your pet feels safest - in their own home environment. Please leave me detailed instructions so I know where to find their food and food bowl, leash, toys, medications, etc. If you have spacial boundaries for your pet such as not being allowed on the couch or bed, in specific rooms, or if they are outside-dog only, etc., please let me know so I can respect and enforce those boundaries.
About: I grew up on a farm and have always taken care of cats, dogs, turtles, and chickens. I live in an apartment with 3 girls and one cat (his name is pumpkin and he is a big kind boy!) I’m a very active person, walking and running whenever I get the chance. I’m used to having a household full of animals so I’d love to meet all your pets! I am a full time student but I have no classes Friday-Sunday. I am available early mornings and evenings most days for check-ins or walks! I live next door to a park where the animals can play while also being near the SU campus for great walks! Although I live with 3 girls, my apartment is spacious and they all love animals.

“Rene was absolutely the best! Renee proved to be a great Dog sitter! She was not only capable and cheerful, but very professional also. She opened her arms and home to my "Smokey", her family interacted well giving him the love and attention, we all want when we leave our precious pets. I highly recommend her and will use her again myself. There isn't any hesitation knowing my dog will be given exceptional care.”

“We have been bringing our Minnie to Barbara to daycare and over night boarding off and on for the last 4 months. Minnie loves it at Barbara’s. This last boarding, we were away on vacation for 2 weeks. We received constant communication. Minnie always looked very happy, especially having Barbara’s own 2 dogs to play with as well. When we came to pick Minnie up, she was so happy. Barbara did a fantastic job caring for our fur baby while we were away. We will continue to use Barbara’s services.”

“Alondra watched my dog while I was out of town for a extended weekend. I was sent photos and videos of her everyday. I felt completely comfortable the whole time I was away; I knew that Abbie was well taken care of and safe. I would recommend having her sit your dog, I plan on using her again when I need a sitter.”

“Angelita was great! She took great care of our English bulldog Taz. Even though he is a high maintenance dog, she still took the time to do his daily wrinkle cleansing and we really appreciate that. She was very accommodating to a last minute extension of our trip. We are thankful for the care of our fur baby.”

“Just moved to Bakersfield recently and had Julie watch/board my dog Tank for the first time over the weekend. Definitely will use her again. Got photos throughout the weekend of Tank and his new buddies (other dogs) playing and hanging out at the ranch. He’s nice and pooped from his fun and eventual weekend!”

“This my second time booking and once again never disappoints! I absolute love my sitter she’s so thoughtful and detailed and the unlimited cute pics of my pup with others always makes me feel melted and happy. I’m so happy I can be a regular! Demi is Top Tier!!!!!”

“I’ve never had my dogs literally excited once they realized they were being dropped off at a dog sitter before. This is my second time using Sara and when I was standing at her front door to drop them off, my elderly dog was scratching at the door to be let in! Both dogs immediately acted like she was family. Highly recommend”

“Adriana was incredible with my senior dog! I'm completely obsessed with him & she made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. She did an amazing job sending me pictures & updates on him. I would 100 percent use her again as well as highly recommend her to friends & family. Thank you Adriana!!!!”
“Stephanie would get 10 starts from me if Rover allowed. She was super responsive, made me feel super comfortable by showing me her backyard set up. She sent me an update about my pup to reassure me that she was safe and having a great time. Thank you so much Stephanie, you were great! My dog and your dog got along so well and boy did my dog rest ALL day when she was back LOL”

Constantly sent me pictures and videos throughout the day ! Kept me Updated with everything ! It was my first time ever using this app and leaving Molly with someone I never met. Akie had nothing but great reviews so it made me feel more than comfortable leaving Molly with her. Akie made this one of the best experiences ever !She made our first experience so smooth ! I know Molly was in great hands ! Akie also groomed Molly and left her looking sooo cute ! She accommodated me super last minute and took her in with open hands ! We will definitely be bringing Molly with Akie❤️ 1000/10 recommend!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Kharlee. She took such good care of Chloe and even helped me out of a bit of a jam the next day. Leaving a pet is such a stressful experience for both the pet and the parent, but Kharlee really put us both at ease. She even sent photos throughout the day showing Chloe enjoying her temporary accommodations. I happily recommend Kharlee and would definitely request to book her if I am in the Bakersfield area again.”

“It was so nerve racking trying to find a good sitter for my dog. Jill and her partner made leaving Duke easy and stress free. I was able to enjoy my vacation and didn’t worry (too much) about Duke. He loved it and will definitely be back the next time I leave town :) Thanks for the cute goodies we got to take home!!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our hounds with Andy, and he took great care of them. They were relaxed and happy when we picked them up. He was very communicative us and recognized their needs and paid attention to detail in their medication regimen. Thanks, Andy!”
