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.
“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.”
“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”
“So happy to have our pups stay with her last minute! She gave updates/pictures and is quick to respond. Will definitely go back to her again when we need someone to watch our dogs!”
“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!!”
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.
“Veronica was a gem to work with. She was very sweet and gentle with my dog. She communicated quickly and clearly and I had no issues whatsoever with her. I would definitely recommend her.”

“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 :)”
“Tatiana was awesome. She was very communicative and detailed and my boys, who don't usually care too much for strangers, absolutely loved her. 10/10 can't recommend her enough.”
“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.”
“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.”
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: Having owned cats at a young age, I have a great understanding in feline body language and temperament. I understand that trust is earned on a cat’s terms. I’m able to recognize subtle cues to determine when to provide space or when to give them attention. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or just a shy baby, I ensure they feel safe and unhurried in their own environment.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Rocky can be a picky dog, with humans and dogs. When I dropped him off for daycare I was so nervous that he wouldn’t play nice and would wreak havoc. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I picked him up and they said he did great. By the time we got home, he was snoring away. Jill and Liz did great with Rocky and he will definitely be back! Big plus for sending me a photo after about 30 minutes assuring me he was fine :)”
“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. Karla sent me updates and photos, and Rhonda felt comfortable around her dogs who are calm and friendly. I would definitely rebook in the future with Karla Michelle!”

“Shanna has kept my girl Kai for daycare on a couple of occasions. Shanna has been very responsive to Kai's needs, and has taken very good care of my girl. Shanna has communicated with me while Kai is with her and has provided me with updates with pictures. I highly recommend Shanna for your pet care needs.”
“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!”

“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 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.
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 have experience and patience to deal with dogs. My house is well maintenance and have a big yard for dogs to run around and play I have the time to do it. They just need to let me know with time what days and times will they drop off and pick up I keep them in a save enviroment. Feed them as told by per owner. Will have them in good care. And I have the time to care for the dogs and take them for a walk
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.
“Whitney is amazing! She was so accommodating with our last-minute request and took such great care of Tuli. She’s attentive, kind, and truly cares about my pup—we love her! ❤️😊”
“Julie did a stellar job spending the day with our oversized toddler, Jethro. He can be stubborn, so it takes a special kind of person to connect with him- Julie was that person today. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“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 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 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’m a reliable pet parent with 2 years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I genuinely love animals and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, giving medication if needed, and following special routines. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m patient, responsible, and attentive. I currently have a part time schedule but also flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and kept in a clean, calm environment. I carefully follow any routines, feeding instructions, medications, or special care requests provided by owners. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while in my care.
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 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.

“Haley was amazing with Sirius. I had a work emergency out of state and needed someone to walk Sirius during the day while the husband is at work. Luckily, Haley agreed to walk Sirius. She gave him care and attention when I was far away and sent photos during the walks. Would highly recommend Haley and definitely will book her again. Thanks so much for taking care of our pup.”
About: As someone who has owned pets, I have years of experience in caring for both cats, dogs, lizards, and bunnies! 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 during the day time usually from 8-1 or 9-3. 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.

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: I have over a decade of experience caring for animals, starting from a young age and evolving into a professional career. 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. Whether your pet needs specialized medical monitoring, senior care, or whole lot of playtime, I have the knowledge to ensure they are safe, happy, and pampered while you're away! I have open availability and can dedicate my time to caring for your pets. Monday-Friday, I am available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight stays as needed. I can provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, companionship, and general pet care. On weekends, I am available for walks and drop in visits throughout the day. I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care. Using my Veterinary Assistant training, I perform 'nose-to-tail' wellness checks during every visit to monitor for any changes in health or behavior. I stick strictly to your established feeding and medication schedules to maintain your pet's routine. Safety is my priority! I ensure all doors/gates are double checked and that your pet is never left in a hazardous situation.
“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 have experience and patience to deal with dogs. My house is well maintenance and have a big yard for dogs to run around and play I have the time to do it. They just need to let me know with time what days and times will they drop off and pick up I keep them in a save enviroment. Feed them as told by per owner. Will have them in good care. And I have the time to care for the dogs and take them for a walk
About: I grew up living with different types of pets and have a degree in animal science. I have also fostered and volunteered at animal shelters I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. I'm available any time on weekdays and some weekends I have a fenced yard, space and friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If needed I have crates for your pups to use
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.
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.

“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.”
“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”
“So happy to have our pups stay with her last minute! She gave updates/pictures and is quick to respond. Will definitely go back to her again when we need someone to watch our dogs!”
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.

“The absolute BEST! Alondra watched my 2 dogs for me for 5 days while we were out of state visiting family, which also included the 4th of July holiday. She made them feel right at home! She took them on walks/jogs twice a day and sent plenty of updates and pictures/videos! Her niece and nephews also loved the dogs and gave them plenty of attention! 10/10 will reach out to rebook with her over anyone else! She made me feel at ease and I was never worried about them while they were in her care. Our flight was also delayed so we were late upon pickup and she was completely understanding!”
