“Shanna was wonderful, very kind and patient with my dog. She Frequently updated me how my dog was doing with pictures;and it really helped me enjoy my vacation knowing that my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much!”
“Nalani was great with Gerald! I had to reschedule for a last minute boarding and she was able to take him in and make sure he was safe and happy! Will definitely be sticking with rover as my boarding whenever I am in need of a sitter for my dog.”
“I had the pleasure of having Julie take care of my dog, Nova, and I couldn't be more grateful for her dedication and care. Nova can be a bit picky with her food, but Julie took the time and effort to make sure she ate properly. She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease. Communication was always on point—Julie responded quickly and made sure I knew how Nova was doing every step of the way. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter!”
“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.”
“Maribel was so good with my Gidget girl. Maribel sent me photos and updates every day. It really set me at ease knowing she was being so well taken care of. Maribel has a huge back yard so Gidget could run and play. Maribel was so nice and easy to talk to. I will definitely use Rover/Maribel again for my dog sitting needs.”
“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”
“So grateful to have found Jill on Rover. This was my 1st time leaving my fur baby Laydee and I was beyond nervous (would she be taken care of, would she get along with everyone, would she not eat from missing us, etc) All my worries disappeared after receiving an update on Laydee and pictures of her (which she was smiling in some & eating!) My baby looked like she had so much. Definitely using Jill again! Already setting up for her visit boarding. Now we take trips and enjoy ourselves.”
“Dominie took such great care of my Morty! For my dog having really bad anxiety, I received him back and had absolutely no worries at all. He seemed calm and I can tell he was really taken care of. I was updated consistently throughout the day with pictures, videos and updates on how he was adjusting. The communication was amazing! I will definitely be returning for future stays. Thank you Dominie for taking great care of Morty!”
“Thank you Haley for your help and flexibility around my schedule. And for taking care of Bruno as if he was part of your family; he loves staying with you and your family.”
“I had a great experience! He took excellent care of Buddy and made me feel comfortable leaving him with his family. He was very responsive, always replied quickly, and sent me updates and pictures whenever I asked. It was clear Buddy was well cared for and had a great time. I'm especially glad he got along so well with the kiddos. They seemed to really enjoy having him around, and Buddy enjoyed being with them too. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable 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.”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful from the very beginning. This was my first time using this type of service, and I wasn’t sure how the booking process worked, but she walked me through everything with patience and kindness. We ended up needing to adjust our drop-off and pick-up times a few times, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. There was a little confusion on our end about pickup timing (we stayed within the agreed window), and she handled it with such grace and friendliness. She truly helped me feel at ease. I especially appreciated that she invited me to see the space where Chewy would be staying. That meant so much because I didn’t feel like I was leaving him somewhere unknown. It gave me real peace of mind. She’s also conveniently located near our home in the Northeast, which made everything even easier for us. I would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and accommodating dog sitter!!”
“Andy took good care of my dogs. They were relaxed when I picked them up. My medium sized dog enjoyed playing fetch. The little one enjoyed being cared around in the pouch. Andy cares about dogs. He has a large shaded yard.”

“Callie has been watching out css forever. Not only is she trustworthy, but she goes above and beyond. Our cats ran out of wet food during a trip due to a shipping issue. Callie was happy to go grab them some. Couldn’t think of anyone I’d be happier to leave my little fur buddies with. They love each other”
“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 :)”

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.”
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 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 was very responsive and attentive to our pups! She was happy to accommodate a stop in visit at the last minute and gave us plenty of updates along the way. I would definitely recommend her services! :)”

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.

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.

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.

About: Hi! Hello. I’m B, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. Growing up in a home that always had dogs (usually more than a few!), I’ve learned how to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC.

We’re just a short walk from River.

“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!”
“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.

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.”
“Karla Michelle took wonderful care of my dog Rhonda! My dog is anxious around new people but she was safe and cared for when she stayed with Karla.

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 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.

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've taken care of family and friends pets for around 6 years. All different breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs. I personally have always had cats. I will always make sure your fur-babies are taken care of. I am currently on summer break. So I am available for any hours of the day and all seven days of the week.

About: Hi, I’m Alec. I’ve been around dogs and cats for over 20 years, and what sets me apart is my drive and hunger to provide the best care possible. I don’t just “watch” pets—I stay engaged, attentive, and focused on their comfort and safety. I take pride in being dependable, consistent, and going the extra step so your pets are well cared for every time. My schedule as a 1099 contractor is very flexible, and outside of work my routine is mostly going to the gym, spending time with family, and occasionally taking vacations. Because of that flexibility, pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle—I can easily adjust my time and prioritize pet sitting when needed. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I will care for pets in a calm, safe, and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure their basic needs are always met, including feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and daily exercise like walks and playtime. In my home, I keep the space clean, quiet, and pet-friendly so animals feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so the pet feels secure in a familiar environment and experiences as little disruption as possible.
About: I have had dogs all my life and I’ve always been a dog person. Currently, I have three dogs. I have experience with every size and age of dog. My youngest is 8 months and my oldest is 12 years old. Other than my own dogs, I often watch my family’s and friends’. I would absolutely love to care for your babies! I currently have a flexible schedule. I am available most weekends and weekdays. I’m happy to work with you when you need extra help! I trained all my dogs on walking etiquette. If you need help with that I am more than happy to take the time to do so. In regards to pet sitting, I will communicate with you how you want your dog spending its time in my care. Whether it’s exercise, training, or just feeding and taking them outside, you can count on me.

About: I have a love for pets. With 48 years experience training pets and caring for pets of all ages, breeds and tempoerments. I have worked with many veterinarians around Kern Country and have extensive background in animal health and care. From the age of 9 to 18 I was involved in 4-H where I won achievement awards and acknowledgement for my handling and caring for pets. I worked in a dog and cat boarding facility for 15 years feeding, cleaning and caring for pets while their owners were away. I have also assisted in pet grooming. I respect all pets and use a gentle hand with pets a build trust and respect. I am punctual and enjoy what I do. Thank you for the opportunity! Currently I am a full-time pet sitter while you're away and I take pride in playing cleaning and feeding your pets in your place until you return When I'm in your home taking care of your wonderful pets I make sure to follow your instructions on feeding watering and play time and medication if necessary
About: We are a caring and responsible home, who would love to take care of your pet the way you do. We have no other pets, so they get all our love and attention. I’m a full time housewife, who is currently raising my 17 year old grandson. I am very available to be at my house or yours I have a fenced yard with a pool. I live close to a park where we can go for walks. I have plenty of space and I keep a tidy and clutter free home. I can be free to go to your home any time of day or night, and I can be trusted to do what you require
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.

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.
“Just finished our first three days and Suzie is doing a great job with our two dogs. They warmed up to her right away and are so excited to see her. Suzie is handling our nervous mix wonderfully. I’m confident and comfortable with Suzie’s ability to handle both dogs in a neighborhood with lots of other dog walkers. Knowing the pups are in capable hands brings or family great comfort ❤️👍🐕🐶👏”

I have a certificate in Veterinary Assistance, meaning I have a great understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I also completed my externship at Kern County Animal Services, where I gained experience in managing a clean environment and administrating medication. I worked at a luxury pet resort, which involved professional bathing techniques, ear cleaning, and skin health checks, so I have a keen eye for your pet’s physical well-being.

I ensure all doors/gates are double checked and that your pet is never left in a hazardous situation.

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’ve had pets my entire life and genuinely love caring for animals. I have experience looking after dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I also have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I’m happy to send updates and photos during each visit so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! Pet care fits very easily into my daily routine. I do online school, so my schedule is very flexible and I am available throughout the day most days of the week. This allows me to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon walks or drop-in visits depending on what your pet needs. I am also able to be consistent with recurring schedules if needed, and I can adjust my availability when planned in advance. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, respect, and following all instructions exactly as given. I make sure pets are secure at all times during walks, including proper leash handling and awareness of surroundings. During drop-in visits, I focus on making sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, and receive attention and playtime so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. I treat every home with respect by being mindful, clean, and careful, and I always follow any specific routines or rules provided for each pet.

Book this lovely family for your fur-babies!!”
