“Our doggo Brownie stayed with Shanna from Thurs afternoon to Sat afternoon. We were originally set to pick up at a later time but we had to change our plans last minute and Shanna was completely okay with that. This was our second staying leaving him with Shanna. While we were away she sent me a couple photos and updates of how he was doing, so I was able to enjoy my short trip without any worry about brownie.”

She treated our Mia like her own dogs and sent updates and pictures throughout our vacation so we could see how she was doing. Thank you Renee for making our first time away from our new puppy a lot easier.”
“First time leaving our one year old rowdy boy Lance. Breanna sent videos and checked in with us. Our dog looks like he had the time of his life !!! Not sure he'll want to be home. Totally recommend Breanna. We will definitely use her again.”

Also provided required meds to our mutt and dropped him off for us! Can’t say enough about how great Jill did. Thanks!!!”

“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.”
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.
“First time user and I was nervous how our dog would do. She is a rescue and still learning how to be social with other dogs. Julie and family made sure she was comfortable and introduced her slowly. Julie was great responding when I checked in. Our dog came home exhausted so I take that as a good sign she was playing hard. It is hard to wear her out. We are very thankful to find a pet sitter that gives us peace of mind. We will be using them again!”
“Haley has watched my girls on numerous occasions. I know when I leave them with her they are in good hands and I don’t have to worry about them. Thanks Haley for taking great care of my girls.”
“Misty Blue (my GSP) had so much fun. It was a last minute request and Veronica immediately responded. I was very thankful and I am a happy client. I will be using her services in the future if I ever need a sitter. She periodically sent me updates on Misty which eased my mind.”
“I can’t say enough words that I am happy to be a forever client. Dominie went above and beyond, she made my dog feel like he was on vacation too. She also took the sweetest pics of my pup that melted my heart! She made him feel at home and comfortable which made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. If you’re looking for someone that treats your baby with love and genuine care and has great communication look no further. Thank you so much!”
“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!!”
“Akie is absolutely fantastic! I had my dog boarded with her for 9 days and she was sending me updates with pictures and videos everyday with my dog! She really does care for them and makes sure they get enough exercise outside, treats, and love. I would recommend her to anyone with their dogs! Thanks again!”
“Absolutely went over and beyond. My dog was so happy with her. She even took him to the park to walk around and explore. I would definitely use her again and again and again😊”
About: I’ve been taking care of homes & pets since I was 11 years old. I always make sure there is a safe environment and room for a pet to be themselves. I look forward to caring for your sweet animals!:) I currently work part time and am home quite a bit so I have ample time to spend with your dog. I also have a massive backyard with grass area, plants, and a pool if they like swimming. My priority is to make sure that your pet feels comfortable around me regardless of the environment. I believe that once the pet feels safe with its caretaker, then the environment doesn’t play a huge role.
“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”

“Faith is the best pet sitter! I needed someone to provide drop-in care for my four cats for three weeks while I was out of state. Whoever I hired had to be completely trustworthy and reliable.

I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to hire her when I need a pet sitter again. Faith did an excellent job!”

“Shannon did great with our GSD! She was very communicative with pictures and updates. She was so sweet and understanding with our anxious puppy and he ended up loving her! I would totally recommend her and will continue to use her for our baby.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“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!”
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 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 had pets of all kinds ever since I was a kid. I grew up around livestock and showed pigs through 4-H. I’ve never had a dog-less household, and I strongly believe every dog is a lap dog. I would love to get to know and spoil each and every one of your pups, while keeping you updated every step of the process. Although I only have one review on my profile, I have been taking care of friends’ and family’s pets for years. I guarantee a 5 star experience for you and your pets. I am currently self-employed, so I am extremely flexible when it comes to my schedule. Just let me know what you need, and we can make it happen! I have a fenced in yard, with two of my own indoor/outdoor dogs. There are also 2 indoor/outdoor cats, so no dogs that could put them in danger.
“Akie was professional, friendly, and clearly loves animals. My dog was well taken care of, and I appreciated the regular updates. I’ll definitely book with Akie again in the future!.”

She sent us several pictures during their stay boys came home tired and happy. Thank you so much, guys, we definitely are going to be hitting you up again in the future!”
“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.”
“Our Great Dane loves going to Julie's for a week or just a play day. He comes home exhausted and sleeps for an entire day cause he had so much fun! He even found a new girlfriend on his last visit! She was the size of his head, but they made such a cute couple!”

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: My passion for animals started when I was young. I begged for a puppy at the age ten until I got one. My first pet was a teacup chihuahua, named Teacup, and I absolutely adored her. Twelve years later, I owned a Husky mix, named Smokey. Which provided me with experience handling small and large dogs. I also have experience working at Saint Louis Zoo is Missouri. It started off as an internship, then the next year I worked as a part-time zoo keeper for a year. I also have experience volunteering at SPCA through highschool. For colloge I attended Harris-Stowe State University, and majored in Biology. I completed 100 credits. If your interested in my services please feel free to contact me; I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby My availability is currently open. I do not have any other duties throughout the day, which means I can give your pet my full attention! Your pet will never be left alone and unsupervised. I treat the pets as if I have a friend over. They will never get bored with me because I am super playful. If they’re not the playful type, then I love cuddles as well. I also love walking and going for a jog, so we would spend a lot of time outside, if the pet wants. I understand all pets have different behaviors and personalities, so I make sure I know about the dog before the booking.

“Our doggo Brownie stayed with Shanna from Thurs afternoon to Sat afternoon. We were originally set to pick up at a later time but we had to change our plans last minute and Shanna was completely okay with that. This was our second staying leaving him with Shanna. While we were away she sent me a couple photos and updates of how he was doing, so I was able to enjoy my short trip without any worry about brownie.”
“Karla was amazing. Super friendly and caring of my dogs needs. My pup was happy to extend his stay and even attended his first pup birthday party as a guest. Thanks Karla,I would definitely recommend and will use her services again. Easy, safe,secure and convenient”
“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.”
“Renee was terrific!! This was our first time ever using Rover and we could not have had a more positive experience. She treated our Mia like her own dogs and sent updates and pictures throughout our vacation so we could see how she was doing. Thank you Renee for making our first time away from our new puppy a lot easier.”
“First time leaving our one year old rowdy boy Lance. Breanna sent videos and checked in with us. Our dog looks like he had the time of his life !!! Not sure he'll want to be home. Totally recommend Breanna. We will definitely use her again.”

Also provided required meds to our mutt and dropped him off for us! Can’t say enough about how great Jill did. Thanks!!!”
“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.”
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.
“First time user and I was nervous how our dog would do. She is a rescue and still learning how to be social with other dogs. Julie and family made sure she was comfortable and introduced her slowly. Julie was great responding when I checked in. Our dog came home exhausted so I take that as a good sign she was playing hard. It is hard to wear her out. We are very thankful to find a pet sitter that gives us peace of mind. We will be using them again!”
“Haley has watched my girls on numerous occasions. I know when I leave them with her they are in good hands and I don’t have to worry about them. Thanks Haley for taking great care of my girls.”
“Misty Blue (my GSP) had so much fun. It was a last minute request and Veronica immediately responded. I was very thankful and I am a happy client. I will be using her services in the future if I ever need a sitter. She periodically sent me updates on Misty which eased my mind.”
“I can’t say enough words that I am happy to be a forever client. Dominie went above and beyond, she made my dog feel like he was on vacation too. She also took the sweetest pics of my pup that melted my heart! She made him feel at home and comfortable which made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. If you’re looking for someone that treats your baby with love and genuine care and has great communication look no further. Thank you so much!”
“Akie is absolutely fantastic! I had my dog boarded with her for 9 days and she was sending me updates with pictures and videos everyday with my dog! She really does care for them and makes sure they get enough exercise outside, treats, and love. I would recommend her to anyone with their dogs! Thanks again!”
“Absolutely went over and beyond. My dog was so happy with her. She even took him to the park to walk around and explore. I would definitely use her again and again and again😊”
About: I’ve been taking care of homes & pets since I was 11 years old. I always make sure there is a safe environment and room for a pet to be themselves. I look forward to caring for your sweet animals!:) I currently work part time and am home quite a bit so I have ample time to spend with your dog. I also have a massive backyard with grass area, plants, and a pool if they like swimming. My priority is to make sure that your pet feels comfortable around me regardless of the environment. I believe that once the pet feels safe with its caretaker, then the environment doesn’t play a huge role.
“I’ve never had my dogs literally excited once they realized they were being dropped off at a dog sitter before. This is my second time using Sara and when I was standing at her front door to drop them off, my elderly dog was scratching at the door to be let in! Both dogs immediately acted like she was family. Highly recommend”
“Adriana was so welcoming, gentle & nice. She took great care of our big boy and her family was also very welcoming of our pup. Don’t hesitate to book with her! You will truly feel like your dog is part of her family. Thank you!!”
“Caryna was so sweet and communicative about Honey's care. Honey boarded with her for one night and everything went smoothly. Honey tends to be anxious in new places, but Caryna did such a great job, I highly recommend booking with her.”
