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.

I’m not afraid to ask clarifying questions about your pets to ensure I am giving them the best care. :)
About: I've been around cats and dogs all my life. I'm a trained dog bather, I've also trained Huskys, Beagles, Havanese, and many mixed breeds.I am excellent at playing fetch and keep away. I currently have open availability. I am able to check in with your pets multiple times a day. I also am available for overnight stays. I have a secure patio for my dog. My clients have fenced in yards. There are toys inside and outside at my house and at my clients. There are also multiple water bowls.
About: I have grown up around pets all my life. I currently rent so I can't have my own. So let me live vicariously through yours. Also if I can walk your dog I can get some steps in. I currently have a 9-5, but work from home. I can check in during lunch or help out when you want to go on vacation over a weekend. I love list. Any info about diet or quarks you might have about your pets let me hear them. I tend to get along with about every dog I met and know it can take time. I know each dog is unique and will get a vibe check each time.
About: I’ve volunteered at the shelters for several years. I participated in their cruising canines program that had me take a shelter pup out weekly for a few hours to burn energy. This includes going for walks, swimming, going to get a puppacino or just cruising in the car and wind surfing! I’ve taken all dog sizes and am physically fit enough to take on larger dogs. I’ve had animals of my own since I was 7 years old. This included ducks, pigs, dogs, cats and geese! I currently have 3 dogs of my own. I love any chance to meet new animals! I live a very active lifestyle and fitness is a huge part of my daily routine. I have 4 dogs of my own and understand how a pet is more than just a pet, they are a family member! I work from home as a seamstress, which allows for my schedule to be very flexible. Last minute bookings to planned bookings work for me! All of my dogs are inside dogs. They are treated with the same care as humans, if not more. Comfort is top priority for my animals and I understand every pet will require something different. No 2 animals are the same and volunteering at the shelter has helped me learn that quickly! I feel I am very good at a reading the situation and would never do anything to make an animal feel uncomfortable.
About: I was raised in a dog friendly family. I have taken care of dogs since my teenage years. I dog sit for family often. Dogs & Cats are family! I am a stay at home dog, cat, fish, and toddler mom. My daily schedule consist of rising early spending the morning outside with my animals. We like to tend to our yard and vegetable garden first. A trip to the park with my toddler and dog before it gets too hot is a must. My yard is fenced with brick at the end of a culdasec. We have one friendly dog and four cats. We all love being outside together. We travel as a pack. I feed the first meal around 6am and then usually open up the back door so the dog and cats can roam freely in the backyard. They like hanging in our veggie garden. Once my toddler wakes up we will go for a walk, play, or even go to the park. We love to pet and cuddle our animals throughout the day. We feed again around 5pm. Your dog or cat will get plenty of love while in my care. I want them to feel part of our family!

About: Hi my name is Courtney, I am a Bakersfield resident and currently work part time around the corner from my house. I’ve been dog sitting friends dogs the last few years to help them out, this year I’ve been dog sitting for friends of friends. Since I have the time I wanted to provide my dog sitting services to others who are in need of a sitter since I enjoy it and it feels like second nature. I am currently working part time and have plenty of time to care for your pup. I will walk, and provide plenty of pets for your fur baby. I have a clean pet friendly home to keep your pup comfortable and safe. I can keep your dog on your schedule and provide medication if needed.

“Barbara was truly amazing! Lily had an amazing time! Barbara kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and videos of Lily. This gave us such peace of mind that our Lily was in good hands. We will definitely book with Barbara again.”
“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.”

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!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Kharlee. She took such good care of Chloe and even helped me out of a bit of a jam the next day. Leaving a pet is such a stressful experience for both the pet and the parent, but Kharlee really put us both at ease. She even sent photos throughout the day showing Chloe enjoying her temporary accommodations. I happily recommend Kharlee and would definitely request to book her if I am in the Bakersfield area again.”
