About: I’d say what really sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about the pets I’m watching. I don’t just “check in” on them I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take time to learn their personality, routines, and little habits so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar to them. I have experience with both young and senior pets. With puppies, I’m patient and consistent with things like potty training, basic commands, and building good habits. With older pets, I understand they may need a slower pace, extra attention, or help with things like medication and sticking to a routine. I’m also big on communication I like to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well. Overall, I just treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel as happy and stress free as possible. I currently live with my partner and my puppy all i do at home is do online school and take care of my puppy all day! I have a fenced backyard a pet safe house with pet gates as well lots of toys and food of course! I love caring for pets i am studying to become a Vet tech
“Jose always does a great job with my doggie. He was able to accept my dog early in the morning with little notice and always sends pics and videos of Hazel on her walks. I book with Jose for every trip I make to northern CA because he’s on the way to where we normally go. I will keep booking him as I’m happy with his care for my dog”
“Juliann was great with our dog Phyllo. It was my first time being away from my puppy and I was a bit worried, but felt much better when she sent me a lot of picture updates. If I'm ever in town again I'll definitely take Phyllo back to her.”
“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 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!”
“Ana was such a great sitter for our dog Jowdee ?? She went above and beyond to ensure a lovely and comfortable stay for him. She constantly stayed in touch with photos and videos. Definitely recommend and will use Ana again if we ever need our dog watched over ?”
“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!”
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.
“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!!”
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.
“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!”
“Priscilla watched our very active German Shepherd puppy and did an excellent job. Communication was great. She responded quickly to any messages sent. We would definitely use her again!”
“Stephanie and her family greeted me and my pups with a warm and authentic welcome. They live in a terrific neighborhood on a cul de sac with no through traffic. There home and backyard was spacious enough for our energetic GSP’s and they had fun playing with their family dogs. We were updated with great photos of our dogs playing and resting by Stephanie. You can’t ask for a better set up with a fenced in pool for security.”
About: I have worked and cared for animals all my life. Grew up and worked on various ranches and farms. Living on an organic almond farm now with my service dog I trained myself after rescuing him. Currently enrolling in Animal Behavior College while volunteering at local shelters and pet sitting and dog training/walking on the side. Available most times when I am not volunteering at the shelter or working on the family farm. Very flexible schedule and willing to accommodate busy schedules. I live on a small farm outside Mcfarland Ca. Lots of room to run, play, sniff, and even swim in the farms pond! We grow all organic almonds so no need to worry about pesticides. Three farm dogs, Two separate gated areas, and can be brought inside and crated at night.
“Melissa was absolutely great with our Ariel. Ariel had the best time. Melissa sent pictures and updates. Ariel was happy while being there. Definitely will be using Melissa again”
“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.”

About: Hi, I’m Mandy! I’ve always had a soft spot for cats, and as someone who has two of my own, I know just how much personality each kitty can have.🐱 I have professional experience caring for cats from my time working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for cats alongside dogs. I understand how important it is to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I pay close attention to the little things, whether that’s noticing a change in behavior or appetite, keeping their litter box clean, making sure they have fresh food and water, or giving them plenty of playtime and attention. I’m also happy to give shy cats their space and let them come to me at their own pace. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated throughout your cat’s stay and let you know if I notice anything unusual. You’ll also receive daily updates and photos, so you can check in on your kitty and have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I have always loved cats and enjoy caring for them with patience and attention. I have experience feeding, playing with, cleaning up after, and spending time with cats to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has its own personality and needs, and I will treat your pet like family.
“Five stars for Alicia! She was wonderful with my cat! I contacted her last minute and she was quick to answer. I was able to go on my trip without worrying as she was constantly keeping me updated with messages/pictures. I am thankful to Alicia as she was patient, kind and sweet to my cat (he gets nervous when a new person comes around) but she was able to get him to be comfortable around her. As well, Alicia kept my apartment safe and tidy while being away on my trip. I will definitely reach out to her next time I need to leave my fur baby at home.”

About: I have four pets of my own, three dogs and one cat! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15, from dog sitting overnight or just during the day. My parents coworkers always relied on me to stay with their dogs, feed them, and play with them. I have time available during the week and weekend to do what I enjoy doing, and that is taking care of animals. I love being energetic and provide the care animals need. I have a huge backyard to keep my dogs entertained. I also have plenty of toys my dogs don’t use because they are extremely picky. I follow the specific directions my clients direct me to. It varies between each client but I feed them as many times they tell me, make sure they have their certain blanket next to them when they sleep. Leave the light on because they are scared of the dark. Give them certain treats after they use the bathroom or do tricks. Take them on a walk with the correct harnesses, clean up after them etc.

About: Hi, I’m Mandy! I’m an Animal Science graduate from Cal Poly with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for all kinds of pets. During college, I worked at a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My experience has taught me that caring for a dog is about more than just walks, meals, and playtime—it’s about understanding them. I’m very familiar with dog body language and behavior and pay close attention to the little things that tell me how a pup is feeling. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or somewhere in between, I take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable. Communication is a huge priority for me. If your pup gets injured, has an upset stomach, vomits, has diarrhea, starts acting differently, or simply seems a little “off,” I’ll let you know as soon as possible. You’ll never be left wondering how your pup is doing while they’re in my care! And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, I’ll provide daily report cards so you can keep up with all the fun, cuddles, walks, and adventures your pup had that day. 🐶💕 My goal is to give your pup the same patience, attention, and care I would want someone to give my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member! I currently work from home, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of flexibility to give your pup attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule can vary from day to day, but I’m generally able to work pet care into my routine and make sure your pup’s needs always come first. If I do need to step out for a little while -whether I’m grocery shopping, running an errand, meeting a friend -you can still feel confident knowing your pup is safe and cared for. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and settled before I leave and will always plan around their feeding, potty, medication, and exercise needs. I’m happy to discuss your pup’s specific routine and schedule ahead of time so we can find what works best for everyone! I live in an apartment with my two dogs and two cats, so my home is already a pet-friendly environment. My dogs are very well socialized and have experience being around dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. They have never been ones to instigate a fight, but I always prioritize safety and comfort when introducing animals. When caring for your pup, I’ll keep interactions with my own pets limited at first and will have my pets in a separate space when needed so your dog can settle in and feel comfortable without being overwhelmed. If you’re comfortable with it and your pup seems like a good match, I’d also be more than happy to gradually introduce them to my dogs after they’ve had some time to settle in. I do live in an apartment, but I have access to a fenced-in yard where I regularly take my own dogs to potty, stretch their legs, and get some outdoor playtime. I’m happy to give your pup plenty of opportunities to get outside as well, depending on their routine and needs.

About: Hi everyone! Welcome to my page! My name is Vanessa. I am currently a student looking to fuel my passions for animal care as my side hobby. I worked as a bather for 2 years at PetsMart before changing professions. I would love to care for your furry baby and will ensure patience is practiced. :333 🧡 I currently have three pooches: a Pomeranian named Kobe, a Shimu named Muki, and a Flat coated named Erza.

“We were in town to visit the National Parks and Kendra did an incredible job with our skittish dog. She was able to build trust quickly and get her the exercise she needed. I appreciate her patience and professionalism. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who may be passing through and needing someone trustworthy!”
About: I've been raising dogs since I was a teenager. I've literally raised them from birth, I've got experience breeding dogs and have helped them during the birth process. I just recently became a cat owner so I don't have very much experience with them but am learning new things all the time about them. I'm not the grooming type so if you want nails clipped or trimming done I suggest seeking someone else for that. I'm okay with giving them baths but that's about the extent of it. I've walked up to 3 dogs at once so I'm efficient in walking dogs. As shown in my headline I'm a big animal lover, they're my weakness, kryptonite, Achilles heel. I'm more emotional over their deaths than humans. My availability varies due to having a part time job and having animals of my own to care for but I'm capable of juggling all that I make sure my pets always have food & water, I also make sure they go outside to relieve themselves and just to get some exercise

About: I have taken care of many different pets throughout all my life, i like to care of all animals that people wanted me to look after. I've had the pleasure of looking after my family's pets, neighbors pets,complete strangers pets and my friends pets. I'm a student at a online college with a flexible school schedule, so i'll have plenty of time to look after and care for you furry friends. Our yard is fenced so all the pets are secure, they are all well feed everyday and are cleaned as well as groomed all around. I am currently doing my college classes online, so it should be quite easy to work your pet into my schedule for the foreseeable future. I have a fenced off yard and i have a little kiddie pool for them to play in,plenty of pet toys around and more than enough pet food.
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 have four pets of my own, three dogs and one cat! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15, from dog sitting overnight or just during the day. My parents coworkers always relied on me to stay with their dogs, feed them, and play with them. I have time available during the week and weekend to do what I enjoy doing, and that is taking care of animals. I love being energetic and provide the care animals need. I have a huge backyard to keep my dogs entertained. I also have plenty of toys my dogs don’t use because they are extremely picky. I follow the specific directions my clients direct me to. It varies between each client but I feed them as many times they tell me, make sure they have their certain blanket next to them when they sleep. Leave the light on because they are scared of the dark. Give them certain treats after they use the bathroom or do tricks. Take them on a walk with the correct harnesses, clean up after them etc.

About: I’m a proud toy poodle mom of two, so caring for small dogs is part of my everyday life. Dogs are very special to me, especially as a deaf person—I rely on body language and visual awareness, which makes me extremely observant and attentive to a dog’s needs, behavior, and safety. What sets me apart is my patience, calm energy, and strong understanding of how dogs communicate without words. I’m especially comfortable with small breeds, shy dogs, and dogs who need gentle care. I work alongside my mom in her home childcare business, which is located right next to my house. Because of this, I am home most of the day and nearby at all times. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision. Pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods. They become part of our calm, structured daily routine and receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised home environment. I closely monitor body language and behavior to ensure every dog feels safe and relaxed. I follow feeding schedules, give regular potty breaks, and keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. Your pet will be treated with love and care, just like my own two toy poodles.

“Juliann was great with our dog Phyllo. It was my first time being away from my puppy and I was a bit worried, but felt much better when she sent me a lot of picture updates. If I'm ever in town again I'll definitely take Phyllo back to her.”
“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 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!”
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.

“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!”
“Priscilla watched our very active German Shepherd puppy and did an excellent job. Communication was great. She responded quickly to any messages sent. We would definitely use her again!”
“Stephanie and her family greeted me and my pups with a warm and authentic welcome. They live in a terrific neighborhood on a cul de sac with no through traffic. There home and backyard was spacious enough for our energetic GSP’s and they had fun playing with their family dogs. We were updated with great photos of our dogs playing and resting by Stephanie. You can’t ask for a better set up with a fenced in pool for security.”
“Melissa was absolutely great with our Ariel. Ariel had the best time. Melissa sent pictures and updates. Ariel was happy while being there. Definitely will be using Melissa again”
“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.”
“Whitney was outstanding watching mine and my husband’s fur baby June! She constantly sent updates and pictures and even took our June on a walk. June loved her, I don’t feel comfortable leaving our baby with anyone but Whitney has definitely became the exception! She was amazing and I will be using her again. My husband and I both recommend her to all our family and friends. She is very attentive to our puppy and made sure she was well taken care of. Definitely had a great experience!”

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'm especially glad he got along so well with the kiddos. They seemed to really enjoy having him around, and Buddy enjoyed being with them too. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
