“Excellent boarding service. The family is very friendly and helpful. We feel very safe boarding our 2 yr old and 11 yr old dogs with them. We have been back several times and will keep coming back.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my pets! 100% recommend to anyone looking for boarding for their animals. My kitten LOVED being with Nalani so much he didn’t want to come back home! I will only be using Nalani from here on out when having to board my pets. I couldn’t have asked for better care for them she has A LOT of toys for them too.”
“Shanna for very kind and loving person, she accepted as last minute as we were planning weekend in Yosemite and dropped our pets Dallas and Hershey over the weekend with her, they were very happy there and she took care of them Very well. Will again book with her when opportunity comes again, she fed them nicely and took care of them very well and they felt being in their home.”
“I am so appreciative of Breanna! She was great with my fur baby! She made sure both me and my dog were comfortable, safe, and happy! She made sure to send lots of pictures and updates! Breanna was amazing with learning the needs of my pup and tending to them!”
“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.”
“Very flexible for a last minute booking, Kane loved his time there and she really helped him socialize with other dogs. The property is beautiful and there is plenty of space for active dogs to run around on.”
“Barbara was very caring and loving and truly has a big heart. We feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her. We have to go out of town several times due to medical appointments and feel so relieved leaving our fur baby with her.”
“We are new to Rover and so happy that we found Jennifer…She was so excited to meet our Luna and definitely catered to her every need while she was staying with her…We’ve never left Luna with someone other than family but she stayed with Jennifer for a week and was pampered cared for and walked everyday…She also sent us pictures and kept us updated even when I wasn’t able to always respond…If we ever need someone to sit for Luna again Jennifer will be our first pick…”
“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”
“We were nervous at first because it was our first time using Rover but Alondra put us at ease and made sure to update us with photos along the way. Our pup was happy and energetic when we picked him up. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and owned my own for over 30 years. I’ve house trained my own dogs from puppy stage to senior age. I currently own a Siberian Husky and care for two additional huskies. I enjoy brushing, playing and bathing them. I’m retired and pretty much available all week, unless I leave to visit family. My schedule is very flexible although I do have a feeding routine for my own dog (am and pm). I have a decent size yard that is fenced. I have a 4 year old Siberian Husky who is very friendly and loves to play. I do crate dogs if they get out of hand and need timeouts. I allow dogs inside and outside. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and treat them like part of the family.
“Brandy and Emma had SO much fun at this dog palace!! We got lots of photos during the 4-5 days they stayed there. We could tell they were so happy there just by looking at the photos. Brandy especially loved their little moat that’s they have. Lots of the pictures involved either Brandy soaking wet living her best life and Emma with cute little pigtails! They even made paw prints! We were so pleased with them and will definitely be returning!!”
“Took great care of my dog and went above and beyond for her. I got lots of pictures of the fun times they were having and my dog came home happy and tired from all the playing. Highly recommend”
“Very thankful for Haley, leaving our puppy was so difficult but Haley made it an amazing experience with updates and so responsive. Will definitely use her again our puppy was very well taken care of and so happy its like we left him with family who we trust.”
“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 was very nervous about leaving Mochi with anyone but I had zero doubts from the minute I arrived at Anna’s home to drop off. From the beginning of the booking process with Anna, I felt as though I was leaving my pet with someone who would take great care of her. Anna kept me updated about Mochi during her stay, alleviated any of my concerns, reassured me during the whole process and my Mochi seemed to have a great time with her puppy friends. If you are looking for someone to care for your fur baby, look no further once you find Anna.”

“Breanna was communicative, on time, and I’d recommend her to anyone. She followed all directions and provided in-depth updates while watching my kitty. Thank you again!”
“Katrina was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my two cats! She provided excellent attentive care to each of them and the pictures from her visits were a great comfort while I was away from my kitties. My cats warmed to her so quickly, even my shy guy who takes much longer to warm up to most people. Katrina is definitely an animal lover who will go the extra mile for your pets. I will definitely be reaching out to her for help babysitting my kitties in the future!”
“Nalani is a great pet sitter. My cats were well taken care of, and I received updates throughout their stay. I returned from my trip to find them happy, healthy, and reluctant to leave. Would recommend Nalani to anyone in need of boarding a pet!”
“Super friendly, I like that we did a meet and greet before hand that way our dogs get a sense and they loved you. Thank you so much for coming and taking care of our fur babies.”
“Sahvanna did such a fantastic job house sitting my 2 cats! She kept in touch and sent adorable photos, and helped administer oral medication for one of my kitties. Already booked her a second time, definitely recommend :)”
“Second time Ashlyn has helped us out with our fur babies and she did great! I’m so grateful Rylee and Fig are able to have a familiar face pop in whether it be a longer visit or just a quick drop in so they don’t feel alone. Thanks again, Ashlyn! Cant wait to work with her again.”
About: I’ve been the family baby/dog sitter since I was 13! My whole family have always had pets and relied on me to take care of them! I’ve also taken care of my neighbors dog for several years enthusiastically. I’ve always found dogs to be the closest comfort, which is a reason to trust me. I’d take care of your dog like my own, as I hold them mine very close to my heart. I have a part time job working with kids, so I’m very available to book! I’m fully available four days of the week and I always have time to spend with your fur friends before and after work. In my home, I occasionally use a crate for my german shepherd, most of the time he is loose. He’s gotten accustomed to sleeping on my bed or my parent’s bedroom and we feed him early in the morning. Following his morning meal is a long walk. We make sure he’s well groomed with daily brushing and a wash once a week. Levi has allergies so we make sure to always apply topical remedies and purchase a high quality kind of dog food.
“Samantha was a very responsible pet sitter. She always responded my messages and sent pictures of my cat Mishu. I’ll contact her again for sure! I think Mishu is getting used to be around her :) That’s so sweet. Thanks for everything Samantha”
“Calie did an amazing job taking care of our kitties. Luna has a hard time socializing with people she doesn't know but she was immediately drawn to Calie! I received daily pictures of our cats being loved and doing great, which was so beautiful to see. I recommend Calie and will be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“Kayla is so great with my cats who already are not fond of strangers. She is very good at following instructions and always respects our home. Anytime I need a sitter, Kayla is available. She is the only sitter we need!”
About: To be sincere, I have mostly cared for stray cats. I feed and take care of two that stay in my backyard while sometimes others come by as well. I have occasionally cared for family and close friends as well. I have fallen in love with cats and hope to gain your trust with your precious cat :) I will do my very best to show up however you need. I speak spanish as well :)
About: Caring for dogs has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. My love for animals began with my first two dogs — a German Shepherd and a Retriever mix — who taught me the joy and responsibility that come with caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s keeping them active, giving them attention, or making sure they feel safe and happy, I take pride in providing dependable and affectionate care. I truly believe every dog deserves to be treated like family — and that’s exactly how I care for them. I work from home so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is small and gentle with others as well.
About: I’m a caring and attentive cat sitter with a strong understanding of feline behavior and needs. I thrive in respecting their need for both space and affection. I’m comfortable handling feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and administering basic care, all while creating a calm and stress-free environment. My goal is to ensure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: I’ve had my cat for 5 years, which has given me extensive experience in feline care. I understand their unique behaviors, dietary needs, and how to create a comfortable environment for them. Safety is my top priority when caring for cats. I ensure that my home is secure, with no access to harmful substances or escape routes. I’m attentive to their needs, providing a safe space for play and relaxation, and I monitor them closely during any activities. I’m also experienced in administering medications and keeping track of their health. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment for your cat, ensuring they feel secure and happy while you’re away.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I mostly grew up around German Shepards and miniature Dobermans. I have two dogs of my own named Milo and Bear. I adopted Milo when he was a little less than a year from the pound. I got Bear just 6 months later from someone who couldn’t keep him. I love dogs and want to help take care of your pets! I am a stay at home mom and I also work from home. Working from home gives me flexibility to be able to be there for your pets. In my home or your home your pets safety and well being is my top priority. I will treat your pets with the same love l treat mine with. I believe pictures and videos are important to provide to show you how your pet is doing. I also send updates about your pets like what they’ve been up to and if I have concerns I definitely would let you know. I do live in a one bedroom apartment but I have a front yard I can take your dogs out for fresh air and to use the bathroom.
“Karla is amazing! She provided overnights before and this time I used her doggy day care service. My dog was so excited to see her and her dogs again, he ran up to her house. Would definitely recommend!”
“Veronica is really kind and gentle to my dog that is extremely anxious and whiny. The rover card was updated and photos were uploaded as well. And it was a bit chilly and she gave my dog a nice sweater to go home with.”
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.
“First two. daycare experiences were great for both parties. The third day, we discovered that Roxie's reaction to Jill and Liz's cats was too strong and it was no longer a good fit. I want to say that although it did't work out for us, I appreciate the direct, clear, and professional communication from Jill and Liz. Their yard is huge and Roxie did have fun while outdoors. Got some great pics. Bummed, but glad to have had my girl experience their care.”
“Shanna is great. She has been patient and collaborative in planning for my Roxie's care. We had a meet and greet, then a short daycare stay, then a full day of daycare. She is well versed in dog behavior. My dog, coincidentally a "pitbull type" is often categorized and judged as "vicious or aggressive" even before people meet her. I've had dog sitters on Rover decline to provide services simply because of her breed or her appearance. Shanna understands that Roxie is a dog: a dog with her own level of prey drive (so Roxie is not allowed in her daughter's room cause of the hamster she has); a dog with some anxiety who barked at her husband when he came into the house. They didn't freak out. Shanna understood Roxie's behavior and worked through it, allowing Roxie to get to know her husband, settle and move on. I truly appreciate her family's openness and acceptance. We have two more full days of daycare booked and if all continues well, we will book boarding services. Roxie is people and dog friendly, but the discrimination we have experienced on Rover, leads me to take things in a new daycare/boarding situation slowly. Shanna has been very reassuring and understanding. throughout the process. I HIGHLY recommend her.”
“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.”
“Haley was a very thoughtful, flexible sitter for Jethro. He can be a handful at times, but she was great at understanding his (and our) needs while we were out of town. She is trustworthy and goes the extra mile to make sure your dog is comfortable, and updated throughout the day without needing to be asked. I’d recommend her if you are looking for someone to trust with the security of your home, and safety and happiness of your animals.”
About: What makes me different about other sitters is I took the class for veterinarian and also grooming I have the certificate also I have experience in general I just love dogs a lot I will do morning and night what work with u work with me I just can’t wait to be working with your pets and make them safe Well, how do I care for my pets? I give them food water walk him take them to parks. Give her love and attention take her to the vet
“I would 100% recommend Maria because she takes care of our dog and she takes good care of her and she is very affectionate with the dogs and always kept us informed about our dog.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and owned my own for over 30 years. I’ve house trained my own dogs from puppy stage to senior age. I currently own a Siberian Husky and care for two additional huskies. I enjoy brushing, playing and bathing them. I’m retired and pretty much available all week, unless I leave to visit family. My schedule is very flexible although I do have a feeding routine for my own dog (am and pm). I have a decent size yard that is fenced. I have a 4 year old Siberian Husky who is very friendly and loves to play. I do crate dogs if they get out of hand and need timeouts. I allow dogs inside and outside. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and treat them like part of the family.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13 I love animals and always make sure they are cared for I would love to take care of dogs it’s truly a passion to me. I am currently studying to be a dental assistant and I have two dogs that I always spend time with on my free time I love going on walks with them. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs but if you prefer them not to get to know your dogs they have there own area .
About: I’m a dedicated 21 year old dog lover who currently cares for two rescued female puppies. They are friendly and fixed :) Raising young shelter dogs has given me hands-on experience with puppy routines, socialization, basic training, exercise, and lots of patience. I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. Growing up, I also owned a Chihuahua and spent time dog walking for others ever since I was a kid, which helped me learn how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with active puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need extra attention and reassurance. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to stay close to home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I care for my own two young dogs every day, so pet care is already a major part of my routine. When I'm not working, I spend time walking, training, playing with, and caring for them. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care and make sure they receive the attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, dogs have access to a large, securely fenced yard where they can play, exercise, and explore safely under supervision. I also have a large crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet place to relax. If a dog needs their own space, I can separate them using a dog gate and provide a comfortable area in my home where they can rest safely. I always monitor interactions between pets and make sure each dog is comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels at home.
About: I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs, including puppy training support, gentle senior care, medication administration, enrichment activities, and constant updates for peace of mind. 🐾 I’m a current nursing student i do online school so i have more then enough time to take care and play and walk pets everydayy! I provide loving, attentive care in my home or clients’ homes. I have a fenced front and backyard for safe play, follow routines, give updates, and prioritize comfort.
“She was an absolute lifesaver! She took my booking with only 30 minutes notice. No one else even responded until hours later. She sent updates and photos without me having to mention it or ask. Talia looked so happy and well taken care of. 11/10 highly recommend! She completely put my mind at ease while I was having such a stressful day!”
About: I have always had a dog but I can only attest to caring for those I’ve raised. I’ve raised two labs and a huskie pittie. I currently have a young 1 year old male lab who loves a great play session with another doggy friend. I’ve often dog cat overnight and it gives my pets great socialization opportunities. I currently work full time from home from 8am to 5pm. My dog is routinely walked 1 hours a day with several enticing activities through out my work day. On the weekend I like to take him to the park and hiking if there is no playdate scheduled. I have a fenced yard and the most social dog to keep them company. Plenty of toys and treats. I have two different sized crates and fenced areas to give my cats space when new dogs are visiting.
“I had a great experience with Adriana today. This was my dog first experience in a day care and I was worried. Adriana send me pictures and videos during my doggy care and I felt better. I will recommend Adriana with my friends.”
“Brandan is great with our one year old fur baby! Simba has separation anxiety, but Brandan stays patient with him and attends to his needs to make him comfortable. We appreciate that he is flexible with our schedule and treats Simba like family. Simba is always excited to go to daycare as he starts to show excitement when we approach Brandan’s home and runs up to his door! If you are looking for someone who is compassionate and trustworthy; Brandan is the one!”
“We were very happy with Kharlee! It was a short notice booking and she as very accommodating. We got several pictures throughout the day and 1 video! Very happy Thank you Kharlee”

About: Hello! First I want to thank you for giving me the time to tell you a little about myself. I have been taking care of all types of animals especially dogs and cats since as far back as I can remember! I love caring for all types of animals and have references. Your fur baby will be well taken care of with frequent walks and play time! I tailor my care to your fur baby’s specific needs. I am also experienced in giving medicine. Thank you for taking the time to read this and best of luck in finding the right fit for your fur baby. I’m currently devoting myself to animal care full time so I am very flexible and can work with most schedules! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Every animal is unique so I tailor my schedule and the fur baby’s schedule with what the owner/fur parent prefers and based on each baby’s needs. I do encourage play time - plenty of walks and lovings.

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 current have a dachshund mix puppy, Milky Way. I previously had a terrier mix rescue named, Rolo. I have also owned bunnies, birds, and turtles. I have walked husky’s, german sherphards, yorkie, pitt bulls, Rottweilers, terriers, and retrievers. I love dogs I wish I could be surrounded by dogs all the time. I am also a nanny and have been working with kids since I was in school. I’m originally from Virginia, but grew up in Los Angeles. I love being outdoors; hiking, cycling, or hanging out at the beach. As of right now, I am really open because I just moved to Bakersfield. I’ve given my own dog and the family I nanny for baths. I look forward to hearing from you!! I am currently working full time as a nanny on the west side of town; Monday though Friday from 8:30 am to 6:30pm. I am mainly available on weekends and weeknights. If dropping in near where I work I can come during the day. I find the dogs interest; ball, kong, squeaky toys, walks and use their interest to help them get their energy out and to help stimulate their personal needs
About: Hi, I'm Darron, but most people know me as Dingo. For most of my life I've been guiding people through outdoor adventures. From whitewater rafting on the Kern River to exploring the backroads and trails of Kern County, helping others experience the outdoors has always been my passion. Today, I bring that same passion to dogs. I founded Dingo's Wild Side because I believe most dogs need more than a walk around the block. They need opportunities to run, sniff, explore, problem solve, and experience the world the way dogs were designed to. Every adventure is built around safety, enrichment, and fun. Whether your dog joins a small pack hike or enjoys a one-on-one solo adventure, my goal is simple: Send them home tired, fulfilled, and smiling. What Makes Me Different Small Pack Sizes I intentionally keep groups small so every dog receives personal attention. Real Outdoor Adventures These aren't neighborhood walks. Dogs explore ranches, trails, river corridors, parks, and natural areas throughout Kern County. Adventure With Purpose Every outing provides: Physical exercise Mental stimulation Confidence building Socialization Environmental enrichment Safety First Every adventure is carefully planned around weather, terrain, group dynamics, and each dog's individual needs. My Experience Hundreds of dog adventures completed Professional outdoor guide background Experienced with large and high-energy breeds Comfortable with multi-dog management Experienced with reactive and shy dogs Strong understanding of canine behavior and body language When your dog joins me for an adventure, you can expect: Safe transportation Careful pack management Plenty of exercise Fresh air and exploration Photo updates Clear communication Most importantly, your dog will have an experience that goes beyond a typical walk. My Promise I treat every dog like an individual. Some dogs need miles of hiking. Some need confidence. Some simply need a chance to get outside and be a dog. My job is to figure out what your dog needs and help them thrive. Caring for dogs isn't something I do on weekends—it's my full-time career. I've built my life around helping dogs stay active, engaged, and happy through safe, enriching outdoor adventures. I love dogs, and I take the responsibility of caring for them seriously. Welcome to a full acre of dog heaven. Plenty of room to run, plenty of friends to play with, and endless attention from someone who truly loves dogs. Dingo's Wild Side was built with your dog's happiness, safety, and enrichment in mind. From the moment they arrive until the moment they head home, they'll be treated like a valued member of our extended family. With years of experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I make it my mission to provide more than just supervision. Your dog will enjoy exercise, socialization, mental stimulation, and real outdoor adventure. Grooming services can even be arranged during their stay, making pickup easy and convenient. Every dog deserves excitement, challenge, and the opportunity to simply be a dog—and that's exactly what they'll find here.

About: I've had pet dogs of different sizes across my life, and I've met very few dogs that didn't get along with eventually. I volunteer time at a local animal shelter to walk and play with the dogs there that need it. I have an open routine at the moment, so I am able to accomodate your schedule. My pets are used to walking at odd hours in the summer, so I'm sure they won't mind 😁 This should be pretty straightforward, as I'm offering walking and home visits. I will not board dogs, as my other pups don't like the intrusion.
About: I’m a dedicated 21 year old dog lover who currently cares for two rescued female puppies. They are friendly and fixed :) Raising young shelter dogs has given me hands-on experience with puppy routines, socialization, basic training, exercise, and lots of patience. I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. Growing up, I also owned a Chihuahua and spent time dog walking for others ever since I was a kid, which helped me learn how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with active puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need extra attention and reassurance. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to stay close to home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I care for my own two young dogs every day, so pet care is already a major part of my routine. When I'm not working, I spend time walking, training, playing with, and caring for them. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care and make sure they receive the attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, dogs have access to a large, securely fenced yard where they can play, exercise, and explore safely under supervision. I also have a large crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet place to relax. If a dog needs their own space, I can separate them using a dog gate and provide a comfortable area in my home where they can rest safely. I always monitor interactions between pets and make sure each dog is comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels at home.

I will treat them with love and respect and have them good like if they were my own dogs. I have a fence yard and I have 3 lovely dogs that would be a good company for your dogs. My dogs are nice and friendly.
About: I’ve been the family baby/dog sitter since I was 13! My whole family have always had pets and relied on me to take care of them! I’ve also taken care of my neighbors dog for several years enthusiastically. I’ve always found dogs to be the closest comfort, which is a reason to trust me. I’d take care of your dog like my own, as I hold them mine very close to my heart. I have a part time job working with kids, so I’m very available to book! I’m fully available four days of the week and I always have time to spend with your fur friends before and after work. In my home, I occasionally use a crate for my german shepherd, most of the time he is loose. He’s gotten accustomed to sleeping on my bed or my parent’s bedroom and we feed him early in the morning. Following his morning meal is a long walk. We make sure he’s well groomed with daily brushing and a wash once a week. Levi has allergies so we make sure to always apply topical remedies and purchase a high quality kind of dog food.
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of pets. In my country I was a veterinary assistant and animal care volunteer. Be part of animal rescue foundations I have from 8 am to 11 am to attend to pets after prior coordination. It is also possible during the weekends and holidays if necessary It is important to exercise pets daily with a walk so they can stay happy and avoid stress. Pet grooming is always necessary to avoid problems with its fur and skin. Maintain a balanced diet and hydration
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 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.
