“Shanna was absolutely amazing! I am new to Bakersfield having recently moved from NC and had never used Rover before let alone an in home sitter. We have always used cage free, free play boarding facilities in NC - so this made me a bit nervous. From the start Shanna was absolutely great with explaining the process, reassuring, and during the meet & greet Aurora felt right at home. Aurora usually returns back a little stressed from any boarding experience but she was in such a happy and excited mood when we picked her up. We will use Shanna any time we need a dog sitter going forward, I can't say enough great things about the experience!”
“Karla Michelle watched our dog Brody for a second time and took such amazing care of him. She sent pictures and videos everyday and I never had to once worry about him. She goes above and beyond! Thank you!”
“Esmeralda was very attentive to our girl and always kept us updated on her care. We felt very comfortable and at ease during her time with our precious baby. I highly recommend her.”
“Nalani was great with Gerald! I had to reschedule for a last minute boarding and she was able to take him in and make sure he was safe and happy! Will definitely be sticking with rover as my boarding whenever I am in need of a sitter for my dog.”

“We had to Google a boarding facility since we had just moved to Bakersfield. We chose Jill & Liz because of their high reviews. And we got really lucky! My dog was well cared for and I received daily updates. I was able to be away from home and away from my fur baby with no regrets & no stress! I highly recommend them!”
“Renee was great! She kept me updated and was so communicative which I really appreciated. I knew Snoh was in good hands with her and Snoh had SO much fun. Highly recommend Renee and I will be using for future need! Thank you Renee 🙏”

“I was a little uneasy leaving our 3month puppy just because we never left shadow anywhere before. But Shyla was great and sent photos and video of shadow playing and just being free! I love he got to have a big backyard yard to roam and play with her other dogs. He didn't want to leave! 😆 Will definitely rebook, and will be dropping shadow off from time to time just for day care. Book this lovely family for your fur-babies!!”

About: I’ve had my cat for 5 years, which has given me extensive experience in feline care. I understand their unique behaviors, dietary needs, and how to create a comfortable environment for them. Safety is my top priority when caring for cats. I ensure that my home is secure, with no access to harmful substances or escape routes. I’m attentive to their needs, providing a safe space for play and relaxation, and I monitor them closely during any activities. I’m also experienced in administering medications and keeping track of their health. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment for your cat, ensuring they feel secure and happy while you’re away.
About: I care for my two pets I have at home. (German Shepard & English Bulldog) I also often care for my sister’s pets when she is away. (Basset Hound, Chihuahua & Dachshund) I am familiar with many different dog breeds & their needs! I have my own small business & I make my own schedule therefore I have plenty of time to watch your pup! Always free Mon-Fri! I have a fenced yard and I have dog gates throughout my house and backyard where my dogs have their own designated spaces. I am able to adjust as needed.
“Super friendly, I like that we did a meet and greet before hand that way our dogs get a sense and they loved you. Thank you so much for coming and taking care of our fur babies.”
“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.”
“I was very grateful to have Angelina come out and take care of our new adopted cat Aria. She was accommodating, conscientious, patient and is a great communicator. She offered to housesit as well, which was a huge relief. I will definitely request her services again.”
“Wonderful visit. She came and let her out fed her and played with her a bit. Zarina was safe back inside and happy when I got home. Would use again as this is my 2nd time using Madeline! Highly recommend.”
“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.”

“Shanna is amazing!! We have 3 dogs that have never been with anyone before besides our family, so I was very nervous. Shanna is super responsive, understanding, and calm! You can really tell she loves your dog just like if they were her own dogs. We did a day care to test out our longer stay this week and they came back so happy!! Can’t wait to have them come back :)”
“We love bringing our dog, Kima, to Jill’s house!! She’s professional, trustworthy, and Kima feels right at home and part of the pack. Kima can be shy at first around new humans but she warmed right up to Jill and her partner. We are so grateful we found them and Kima has some new friends!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Dominie took good care of our baby boy. She sent updates with pictures throughout his stay. We had peace of mind knowing he was in goods hands 😊 we will be hiring Dominie again!!”

“I highly recommend her! Her and her family were very sweet towards my dog. I had to do a last minute booking and she accepted it. I also had last minuetes changes when picking him and she was very kind about it. I know for sure my dog had an awesome stay and felt safe in their home. And I am sure he adored all the attention he got. Will definitely book another stay with her again.”
“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.

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.”
“Highly recommend her! My family and I always worry on who we leave our dog with, we try to look for the best person that can fit oreo. She was very nice and did send me many photos of him while on his stay. My family and I know when our dog feels sacred of the person, and when she sended us photos our dog looked happy and relaxed. And especially her doggos who are also very nice. I know for sure my dog enjoyed his stayed there!”
“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!.”
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
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.
“I had a great experience with Adriana today. This was my dog first experience in a day care and I was worried. Adriana send me pictures and videos during my doggy care and I felt better. I will recommend Adriana with my friends.”
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.
“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.”
“Glenda was wonderful in taking care of our doggies! She’s great, friendly, and provided updates as well! Would not hesitate to have her watch our boys again! Thank you Glenda!”
“This is the first time leaving Dax with someone outside of a family member and he warmed up to Whitney really quickly. I like that she treated him as if he was in his own home. We already have dates in mind to book Whitney for the rest of the year!”

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.

With over five years of professional dog-sitting experience, I've cared for breeds of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring each pup receives the attention and affection they deserve. My unique upbringing has equipped me with the skills to manage not just dogs, but also other pets, making me a versatile caregiver who can provide a safe and nurturing environment for your furry family member.

I have a pretty decent sized apartment, that's CLEANED & SANITIZED DAILY, has AC/HEAT, non-smoking, and always has some toys, blankets, and sanitized food/water bowls ready, just in case the owner doesn't bring them. I also take the pets outside quite frequently, as much as possible honeslty! Also, not just to potty, but to explore the neighborhood, RUN for extended periods of time, and to constantly practice/improve use of commands, and healthy interactions with other people/pets/stimulation we may encounter along the way!
“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: I’m 20 years old with a career path of becoming a veterinarian. I have lots of experience with dogs, as I have two of my own, and I’m a really big animal person. I typically watch over friends’ and family’s dogs, which I have a blast doing. I like going to dog parks and going on runs, as I’m a very active person. I have experience with drop-ins, making sure they are fed, played with, and well taken care of. I also have experience With overnight stays! I’m a very flexible and spontaneous person! My schedule is three things: school, part-time work, and the gym. Making time to care for, feed, walk, and play with animals is no problem. As for taking dogs on walks, that would fit naturally into my routine. On my days off, I would have extra time to give the pet more attention and care. Pet care is something I generally enjoy and something I would look forward to doing as well, since it is the career path I’m pursuing. :) care for pets by making sure they have fresh water and are fed the appropriate amount of food, depending on how much the owner usually feeds them. I’ll follow the pet’s daily routine as closely as possible. I’ll make time to take them with me on runs for exercise, provide plenty of playtime, and give them bathroom breaks whenever needed. Respecting my client’s home and space is very important, as is making sure I treat their pet the same way I treat my own dogs!

“Shanna was absolutely amazing! I am new to Bakersfield having recently moved from NC and had never used Rover before let alone an in home sitter. We have always used cage free, free play boarding facilities in NC - so this made me a bit nervous. From the start Shanna was absolutely great with explaining the process, reassuring, and during the meet & greet Aurora felt right at home. Aurora usually returns back a little stressed from any boarding experience but she was in such a happy and excited mood when we picked her up. We will use Shanna any time we need a dog sitter going forward, I can't say enough great things about the experience!”
“Karla Michelle watched our dog Brody for a second time and took such amazing care of him. She sent pictures and videos everyday and I never had to once worry about him. She goes above and beyond! Thank you!”
“Nalani was great with Gerald! I had to reschedule for a last minute boarding and she was able to take him in and make sure he was safe and happy! Will definitely be sticking with rover as my boarding whenever I am in need of a sitter for my dog.”
“Adriana is the best pet sitter I have ever known. She spoils my dog, gives him treats, and bathes him before I pick him up. I would highly recommend Adriana for any of your pet care needs.”
“We had to Google a boarding facility since we had just moved to Bakersfield. We chose Jill & Liz because of their high reviews. And we got really lucky! My dog was well cared for and I received daily updates. I was able to be away from home and away from my fur baby with no regrets & no stress! I highly recommend them!”
“Renee was great! She kept me updated and was so communicative which I really appreciated. I knew Snoh was in good hands with her and Snoh had SO much fun. Highly recommend Renee and I will be using for future need! Thank you Renee 🙏”
“Alexis is by far the most considerate, conscientious and caring sitter. Excellent and meticulous attention, great communication - we couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog. I would highly recommend Alexis to anyone who wants personalized and dedicated caregiving for their pet. I will not hesitate to rebook.”
“The best hands Mia could have been , in definitely book with her ! I will be rebooking for sure , she send me pics of my baby did what I asked to do and Mia loved her and was so happy to stay there , couldn’t have chose a better nanny for her , thanks for taking such good care of the doggies ! 🐾”
“Sidney is AMAZING!!!! She took such loving care of ours boys while we were out of town. She cared for them as if they were her own pets and sent me plenty of pictures and videos. We will be using her again for our next dog-sitting needs!”
“I am so appreciative of Breanna! She was great with my fur baby! She made sure both me and my dog were comfortable, safe, and happy! She made sure to send lots of pictures and updates! Breanna was amazing with learning the needs of my pup and tending to them!”
“Alondra was great! She took great care of Motley when we were out of town for a week. She updated us multiple times throughout the day with pictures and videos of him playing and going on walks. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“I was a little uneasy leaving our 3month puppy just because we never left shadow anywhere before. But Shyla was great and sent photos and video of shadow playing and just being free! I love he got to have a big backyard yard to roam and play with her other dogs. He didn't want to leave! 😆 Will definitely rebook, and will be dropping shadow off from time to time just for day care. Book this lovely family for your fur-babies!!”

“Took great care of my dog and went above and beyond for her. I got lots of pictures of the fun times they were having and my dog came home happy and tired from all the playing. Highly recommend”
“Glenda pet sitted for our very active lab puppy at her home. It was very reassuring to know he was watched closely and taken good care of while we were away for a few days. We will definitely use her again!”
