“Let me tell you... if Shanna has availability book her..her and her family cared for my Big Baby like he was their dog. I cant tell you enough how thankful we are to have found someone we trust with our Baby Thank you We appreciate you”
“Scarlett LOVES staying with Karla Michelle! She has been our go-to doggy sitter everytime we have an event whether it's just for the day or overnight. I am so glad we found her!”
“Jill and Liz are fantastic! We were driving from SF to LA for a long weekend and wanted to give our 2 chihuahua mixed pups a little vacation of their own—Jill and Liz's home was just the ticket! Their backyard is truly a pup's paradise—large enough to run and play with some shade to hang out in and even a water feature to splash around. They were really great about sending tons of pictures as updates and very patient and understanding with Frankie who was a little stressed at being left, so initially he wasn't eating his food—they coaxed him with some shredded chicken, and he came around by the end of the second day. We could tell our pups were getting TLC with the pics of them snuggled in Liz's lap or blankets while hanging out on the couch and bed. To top it all off, when we came to pick up our babies, Jill and Liz surprised us with a framed photo of each dog! It was such a sweet gesture. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them if we ever do another road trip to LA (if they were closer to SF, we'd re-book in a heartbeat!!) Thanks so much for everything, Jill and Liz! xoxo Coco and Frankie”
“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!”
“Julie watch the dogs, a German Shepherd, a cockapoo and a Shih Tzu for seven days sent us pictures while we are away on vacation. We picked a dogs up. Dogs appeared in great spirits happy to see us but also for the pictures of. Two of enjoyed themselves when we picked their dogs up, they have a bag of treats and toys for a dog. Thank you very much for the care and love you provided your dogs.”

“This is the first time, I have used the Rover app and I was a little nervous as I have only boarded my dog at a facility. However, given that I can no longer do that because he is not fixed, I decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed! Renee was amazing to work with! She kept me updated on his well being with photos and I was happy the my dog was loving staying with her and her family. I cannot be more grateful and will continue to book with her on future stays! Thank you so much Renee for taking such good care of Leo!!!”
“This is our second time booking with Maribel. She gave us daily updates and sent us tons of photos. Our dogs love her and she took great care of them. I think I found my permanent dog sitter. 11/10 would recommend!”
“Haley provided peace of mind during vacation, as I’m usually the one who suffers from separation anxiety! She sent regular updates and amazing photos of my pupper, which really put me at ease because I could tell my baby was having a great time. Haley was very easy to work with and totally accommodating. Can’t ask for more than that!”

“Nalani is a great pet sitter. My cats were well taken care of, and I received updates throughout their stay. I returned from my trip to find them happy, healthy, and reluctant to leave. Would recommend Nalani to anyone in need of boarding a pet!”

She made me feel super comfortable and I knew our Twinkie was in great hands!! Definitely found our forever pet sitter for Twinkie💖”

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.
“She did a great job with keeping my husky safe and happy especially during the holidays and while it was raining. She was quick to respond and let me know in full detail what my dog was up to and informed me of any problems that she noticed. The only small issue I had was that I wished she updated me earlier about how my dog was doing but besides that she was great.”
“Ana is the best! I'm forever grateful for her. She took care of my 16 yr. old baby for a week. Ana and her family treated her like their own!!! She sent me pictures & updated me. I truly knew my baby was the best care possible!!”

“Callie has been truly one of a kind. This is my 2nd time booking with her and needless to say, we’ve found our permanent cat sitter. She’s very easy to book, comes to meet your pet before the actual visit to introduce herself, and is VERY friendly with cats (and dogs)! She sends regular updates, is very punctual with the schedule, spent a great amount of time with our little guy, and sent daily photo updates. She cleaned up the litter on the floor and even updated the water dispenser in our absence. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and will 100% book with Callie again.”

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.”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of dogs small to big since i was around 10. I am a 3 sport athlete with a 3.8 gpa thats ready for energetic playful dogs and lazy couch potato dogs, as i have both kinds myself! My schedule is fairly open most days. I have college wrestling practice on weekdays from 4–6 PM, but aside from that, I'm generally available throughout the summer, with the exception of a few occasions when I need to care for my younger brother, who has special needs. I was raised to respect people houses and living space. I have never and will never drink or smoke. I let my own dogs out 3 times a day morning evening and night with walks at night so they and I dont overheat. I love playing fetch and tug of war with them and by the time their inside their big lazy couch potatoes i love to sit with.
“First time using rover and Haley went above and beyond expectations to make us feel at ease leaving our cats alone while we visited family. The process was easy and fast, would definitely go through Haley again! We got wonderful pictures of our cats as well. We could not be happier with your service!”
About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. I have always wanted to be a vet and will do the best I can for any furbaby that comes my way. Always making sure I do the best for my pets so they can live their life to the fullest. I would do anything for my pets to make sure they are happy and healthy. I know a lot about all animals I love learning new things about them if I have not already. I personally trained my families pets and the all love they way the are and how they behave. I'm still learning to become a vet so one day I can save all the furbabies I possibly can as a vet. I'm currently working only in the early mornings, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Also take them on walks and even just hang out and relax with them. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. Also I will send you updates as needed or wanted.
“Faith was phenomenal!! We were gone for over 12 days for our wedding and she house sat and cat sat for our kitty. We felt so comfortable being away to enjoy our wedding knowing Charlie was in good hands with Faith looking after him!! She sent pictures daily and she played with him, brushed him, kept him company and made sure he had with water and food. She kept our house nice and clean and was the perfect pet sitter. Highly recommend!! So happy he was well taken care of.”

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.

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.

“Shanna is a wonderful sitter! Very nice and has a warm home. My dog liked her and he was well taken care of during the day. I definitely will be booking again in the future. Thank you! :)”
“First two. daycare experiences were great for both parties. The third day, we discovered that Roxie's reaction to Jill and Liz's cats was too strong and it was no longer a good fit. I want to say that although it did't work out for us, I appreciate the direct, clear, and professional communication from Jill and Liz. Their yard is huge and Roxie did have fun while outdoors. Got some great pics. Bummed, but glad to have had my girl experience their care.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Carolina was wonderful! She and her partner provided wonderful fun and care for Oliver and Franklin on Thanksgiving. Walks, hanging out at home, dinner! 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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I took my dog to Akie for boarding and she took amazing care of him. She kept me updated with pictures and videos on how he was doing. I will definitely have Akie take care of Koa again in the future!”

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 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 have taken care of pets for my friends and family many times over the years. I love to cuddle and play with them. I also love taking them on walks. I am looking for a job right now so I have a lot of time on my hands to take care of your pets. I’m available most days. 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 understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every pet with the same love and respect I’d give my own. I have two of my own doggies! I always adapt to your pets individual needs. I’m patient, gentle, and never in a rush. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate same-day bookings or last-minute requests. Whether you need a regular walker or occasional drop-ins, I’ll do my best to work around your need just send me a message! I totally get how important it is to know your pet is safe and in good hands. I always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, calm, and cared for whether we’re out on a walk or just hanging out during a dropin. I’ll follow whatever routine you give me, keep a close eye on them, and treat them like one of my own.
“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: 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.
“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: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities.

I understand that every pet has a unique routine, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through reliable communication and photo updates. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week.

About: I am an animal lover who wants to make your animals feel save and loved 🤗. I’ve always had pets growing up and I currently pet sit for multiple families. I house and pet sit for short and long term needs, and am looking to expand my client base! Im currently going to school at Bakersfield College Monday-Wednesday! I will not be able to be home with your animals all day, but I will come and go when needed to make you and your animal feel comfortable. I will take care of your pet exactly as you would, following any house rules or boundaries you have set and make sure your pet gets the best care possible while I am there.
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 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.

“Jill and Liz are fantastic! We were driving from SF to LA for a long weekend and wanted to give our 2 chihuahua mixed pups a little vacation of their own—Jill and Liz's home was just the ticket! Their backyard is truly a pup's paradise—large enough to run and play with some shade to hang out in and even a water feature to splash around. They were really great about sending tons of pictures as updates and very patient and understanding with Frankie who was a little stressed at being left, so initially he wasn't eating his food—they coaxed him with some shredded chicken, and he came around by the end of the second day. We could tell our pups were getting TLC with the pics of them snuggled in Liz's lap or blankets while hanging out on the couch and bed. To top it all off, when we came to pick up our babies, Jill and Liz surprised us with a framed photo of each dog! It was such a sweet gesture. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them if we ever do another road trip to LA (if they were closer to SF, we'd re-book in a heartbeat!!) Thanks so much for everything, Jill and Liz! xoxo Coco and Frankie”

“This is the first time, I have used the Rover app and I was a little nervous as I have only boarded my dog at a facility. However, given that I can no longer do that because he is not fixed, I decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed! Renee was amazing to work with! She kept me updated on his well being with photos and I was happy the my dog was loving staying with her and her family. I cannot be more grateful and will continue to book with her on future stays! Thank you so much Renee for taking such good care of Leo!!!”

Can’t ask for more than that!”

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!

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.
“She did a great job with keeping my husky safe and happy especially during the holidays and while it was raining. She was quick to respond and let me know in full detail what my dog was up to and informed me of any problems that she noticed. The only small issue I had was that I wished she updated me earlier about how my dog was doing but besides that she was great.”
