“Waylon had the best time at Renee's. He came home exhausted! I can track his activity and sleep, via an app. He played, played and played some more and then at night slept peacefully. Waylon is my baby and feeling confident / comfortable with someone is hard for me, but Renee passed, lol. She was prompt in replying back to me with any questions or concerns I had. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”

About: For over 7 years, I’ve provided dedicated care for dogs of all breeds and ages. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or extra cuddles, I treat every pet like family. Pet parents trust me to keep their furry friends safe, happy, and loved while they’re away. This will be a safe space for them. I work full-time Mon-Fri. However, Fri-Sun I have more than enough time to provide proper care and lots of attention to your furry friends. They're in good hands. During certain months there will be availability during weekdays I provide a safe, welcoming environment with a fenced backyard and one friendly cat, Kurin, for companionship. If needed, I can easily crate your pup. I always supervise playtime, ensure pets have fresh water, and give them plenty of love and attention so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I would like them to roam freely around the house unless specified otherwise. The goal is to try and recreate their normal routine, so they feel at home.

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 would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m Payton, and I am a member of The International Cat Association (TICA). I have many years of hands-on experience caring for and showing cats of many different breeds and personalities. From ages 16 to 20, I helped manage the day-to-day care of a multi-cat cattery, where I cared for kittens, breeding cats, and retired show cats. My experience includes feeding specialized diets, administering medications, grooming, nail trims, litter box maintenance, monitoring health and behavior, and maintaining consistent routines for multiple cats. Over the past four years of showing cats, I have learned how to handle them calmly and respectfully while paying close attention to each cat’s individual temperament. Whether your cat is outgoing, shy, or requires extra attention, my goal is to provide reliable, low-stress care while you are away. References are available upon request. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make drop-in visits during the week and provide longer stays over the weekends. Since I have cats of my own, their care is already a part of my daily routine. I understand the importance of maintaining feeding schedules, clean spaces, and consistent attention while you are away. I believe cats are happiest and least stressed when they can stay in their own familiar environment. I provide in-home care where I can maintain their normal routines, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and medication if needed.

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I make it a priority to follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I go by routine Monday through Friday and am looking to fill all open hours with trustworthy care for your loved ones while you’re away even on weekends when openings are available. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or in yours, I create a calm, secure environment where they feel at ease. I carefully follow your pet’s routine — from feeding and walks to medications and bedtime rituals — so they feel consistency and immediate care even when you’re away.

Liz and Jill are amazing,and your fur baby is in great hands.”

“Caroline was able to take our Button at the last minute (literally less than 10 hours notice!) for day care after she showed signs of anxiety being alone in our AirBnb. Button was treated like a little Disney Princess. We’re so thankful for finding someone to ease the stress and worry of traveling with fur babies.”
“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. 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: I have always grown up with having a pet in the home. Currently, I have two: a young 1 year old shitzu and a senior 11 year old maltipoo (you can imagine how they get along). I have basic skills on training some tricks. My true enjoyment is playing with pets. They heal something in me, and I think they know that. I am currently transitioning from being a full-time graduate student to full-time employee. It has been interesting to say the least. That said, my schedule is very flexible! I am on the onboarding process to a part time. However, I am happy to work with any owner to ensure a happy puppy. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced front yard, so I will take out any pets with a leash for safety. I do have two small house dogs who are very friendly and happy to welcome any new friends.
“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 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 is the first time leaving Dax with someone outside of a family member and he warmed up to Whitney really quickly. I like that she treated him as if he was in his own home. We already have dates in mind to book Whitney for the rest of the year!”

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 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. I'm very comfortable taking care of senior dogs and dogs with medical needs. When my childhood dog was attacked, 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. 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. At 14 years old, 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. In addition to dogs, I've taken care of geckos, an iguana, fish, water turtles, parakeets and cockatiels. I'm happy to care for any type of animal. 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.

I understand that all pets are different, so I will follow all directions specific to your pets needs. I can stay at your house with the pets or drop by for visits when needed.

About: 🐾 40+ Years of Loving Dog Care!!🐾 Hi, I’m Carol — a lifelong dog lover with over 40 years of experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I live in Bakersfield, CA, in a single family home which includes a fenced private backyard where. Whether your pup is here for a quick stop or a day of play, they’ll get the same love, care, and attention I’ve given my own dogs for decades. Your dog will enjoy safe walks, personalized attention, and a calm home environment. I only book 2 dogs max at a time to ensure every pup gets my full attention. Think of me as your dog’s fairy dog-mother — making their time away from you a fun adventure. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I currently work from home so I can devote 100% of my attention to your pets. I walk all of our dogs at least 2x/day or more if needed. My home is a single family residence in a quiet residential neighborhood which includes a small fenced private backyard where your pet has space to run and go potty. I can also take your pet for a stroll around the block if permitted. Feeding is based on your pets specific needs.
“You cannot ask for anyone better than Katrina to walk your dog! She is punctual, knowledgeable about dogs, and she also clearly loves animals. My little terrier came back happy and exercised. Thank you, Katrina!”
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. So I am available to check on your pet a few times day, if needed. I do not offer for pets to come to my house. But I will treat your fur-babies like my own. I will make sure your pet is safe, clean, and well taken care of.
About: As someone who has owned pets, I have years of experience in caring for cats, dogs, lizards, bunnies and more! When I could not locate a proper groomer for my shihtzu, I learned how cut my dog’s hair and clip his nails. When I owned cats, I did extensive research on diet to ensure they had all the nutrition they needed. I’m still fairly new to owning bunnies but I have learned a lot from vet visits and testimonials from other bun parents! I work two other jobs but I make my own schedule so I can fit late afternoon and nightly check ins, baths, walks, overnight sitting, and errands into my day if that’s what you’d like. I would love to spend as much time as I can making sure that your pet is well loved and taken care of. I don’t want to break an animal’s routine so if you have your pet on a schedule/routine, diet, or regiment of some sort, I plan to stick to that.
About: Hello, my name is Diana, im an art and cinema student at City College of San Francisco. Ive had experience walking and sitting dogs for over 3 years now and I love being able to meet different dogs of all shapes and sizes along with their owners.

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’m a lifelong dog lover who has lived with 5 different dogs over the years and cared for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs as well when needed. In our free time alone, my dog Yeager and I like to go on adventures hiking and camping together. When I care for your dog, they will have all the love, play, and attention they need since I am at home full time. I am at home full time to care for your pet. I have a flexible schedule to maintain a safe environment and give them all of the attention they need. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog. I can keep the dogs separated if needed and can crate your dog if they are crate trained (please provide your crate).
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, from owning my own animals to pet sitting (dogs and cats) and dog walking for others, with some shelter experience as well. I know how important routine and comfort are for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or just extra playtime and attention, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for the whole time.” Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life. I’m home and available for regular walks, feeding times, and playtime throughout the day, so I can keep pets on a consistent schedule. I build check-ins and outdoor time around my normal routine, which means your pet gets steady attention rather than being squeezed in around a busy schedule. When pets stay with me, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they have a comfortable, safe space, stick to their regular feeding and walk schedule, and give plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. I keep a close eye on their behavior and comfort level, especially in the first day or two, to help them settle in. When I care for pets at their own home, I follow the owner’s routine and instructions closely such as feeding times, walk schedules, medications, and any specific habits or preferences the pet has. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, and I make sure to leave the home just as tidy as I found it.

“Waylon had the best time at Renee's. He came home exhausted! I can track his activity and sleep, via an app. He played, played and played some more and then at night slept peacefully. Waylon is my baby and feeling confident / comfortable with someone is hard for me, but Renee passed, lol. She was prompt in replying back to me with any questions or concerns I had. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”

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 would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
