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

“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.”
“I left my 5 year old maltipoo for a 4 night stay with Clairece and I cannot say enough about her, from her *Terrific, prompt communications, to her *Friendly, kind approach, to her *Excellent, detailed check-ins throughout the day, which she initiated; complete with pictures and updates with several bery happy looking walks and even couch time. I especially appreciated *How much Clairece cared and loved on my pup! It was 4th of July weekend, so I anticipated my pup to be nervous. Chauncey can already be a bit fidgity and clingy to his person. No problems though! He obviously fell for Clairece😍, as every photo showed a big grin across his face and that told the whole story! Also, when Chauncey wasnt really eating his food because of separation from me, Clairece quickly pivoted to giving him fresh food with my approval. I could not have been happier with this whole experience. Will 100% use Clairece's services again! Im sure Chauncey cant wait to go back!”
“Adriana was incredible with my senior dog! I'm completely obsessed with him & she made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. She did an amazing job sending me pictures & updates on him. I would 100 percent use her again as well as highly recommend her to friends & family. Thank you Adriana!!!!”
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.
“This was my puppy Milo's first time boarding so I was a little nervous but Maria made the entire experience so easy. She sent regular updates and always communicated with us which was comforting. Milo loved her! Definitely will ask her to dogsit again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for 4 years now. I have some experience grooming others' dogs, however mostly my own. They still loved the way their buddy came out and continue to come to me! I enjoy doing this job so I decided to make it more public. Hope I can help many other people and their babies even more! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open and flexible. I don't like to leave pets alone for too long, so for no more than 4 hours. Whether it's just to give them a potty break or to give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and live in a community with a dog park. How I take care of your babies is up to you. I understand every dog is different and so if their owner! So just let me know what you do for them and I will integrate it into their daily schedule. During the summer, the dogs will be kept inside an air conditioned home. Preferably when no one is home then they will be in a crate, however if they are guaranteed not to chew on personal items or pee inside, then they can roam inside freely. During winter, dogs can be kept outside, but it really depends on the owner's preferences.

I was able to go on my trip without worrying as she was constantly keeping me updated with messages/pictures.

She has a great yard for dogs to explore, and we loved that she took the time to thoughtfully introduce Josie to her own pets.

That’s how spoiled they’d be if I was to babysit them. ♥️♥️
“Barbara was very nice and took really good care of my dog, Butter. My dog has anxiety around bigger dogs, so for us, this was a perfect match. Even with her two smaller dogs, Barbara paid extra attention and had lots of caution in making sure that my dog felt comfortable being in her home and around her dogs. After our initial meet and greet, my dog didn’t even wait for me to say goodbye— He was so excited to be there that he ran inside when I dropped him off! As someone who gets anxiety from leaving their senior, special needs dog in anyone else’s hands, I will not hesitate to book Barbara again! Thank you so much Barbara!”

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.

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.

About: Hi my friends call me Mindy, and I have been caring for dogs since I was a kid. I grew-up with German Shepherds as members of our family, and I've taken care of dogs for friends and family for many years. I love all kinds of dogs from miniatures to Mastiff's, I've handled them all. I'm comfortable with high energy dogs, and dogs that may need extra patience and care. I am well versed in handling special diets, administering oral medications and administering shots if needed. I am experienced with puppies to senior dogs, those with anxiety, and other sensitive behaviors. I love to play with them with toys or mental interaction, or sit with them, or whatever activity they enjoy. I would love to take pictures and/or video and send them to you, and I can coordinate face time with you so you can see your baby/ies and say hello to them whenever you want. You can check out the pictures in my gallery of dogs I've cared for, and the pictures I've sent to their parents! I create a loving, caring and attentive environment where they will thrive and quite possibly not miss you while you're gone at all! I live by the rule: If I see a dog, I am legally required to say "hello" (in the universal voice used by many pet lovers), and briefly introduce myself. I am retired after a career in broadcast journalism & social media marketing. My availability is WIDE OPEN for any day of the week for all services I offer. I have recently moved back to Bakersfield from Bend, OR and I look forward to continuing to offer my services here. **I can keep your pets on schedule with their meals, medication, walks, play time and potty breaks. Whatever they may need while you're gone, I can take care of for you in your absence. When caring for dogs, I am committed to creating an environment of safety, cleanliness, and an enjoyable environment based on their specific needs. I absolutely make sure all opportunities of escape are thwarted, ensuring their safety at all times. When I take them for walks, I make sure all harnesses and collars are worn appropriately, and they remain on leash at all times to ensure safety and control. I am attentive during play time to make sure they stay hydrated and take breaks when needed. I am always aware of unsafe opportunities such as plants and objects that could potentially hurt your dog. I am always prepared with basic first aid, and will have emergency contacts with me at all times. It's my goal, that the time I spend with your dog(s); will be happy, healthy and safe while you're away for 1 hour, 8 hours, or several days. Your dog(s) become an extended member of my pack!

“My husband & I left our two dogs with Juliann for a week! She was absolutely amazing! Her communication was incredible, my dogs adored her, and she had an outing with my dogs everyday! She went above and beyond. She loved on our dogs and did the best job! I highly recommend Juliann for any dog services you may need!”
“Absolutely Fantastic. Amanda takes excellent care of your pooch and ensures they are well cared for, walked and played with. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs.”
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

“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.”
“I left my 5 year old maltipoo for a 4 night stay with Clairece and I cannot say enough about her, from her *Terrific, prompt communications, to her *Friendly, kind approach, to her *Excellent, detailed check-ins throughout the day, which she initiated; complete with pictures and updates with several bery happy looking walks and even couch time. I especially appreciated *How much Clairece cared and loved on my pup! It was 4th of July weekend, so I anticipated my pup to be nervous. Chauncey can already be a bit fidgity and clingy to his person. No problems though! He obviously fell for Clairece😍, as every photo showed a big grin across his face and that told the whole story! Also, when Chauncey wasnt really eating his food because of separation from me, Clairece quickly pivoted to giving him fresh food with my approval. I could not have been happier with this whole experience. Will 100% use Clairece's services again! Im sure Chauncey cant wait to go back!”
“Adriana was incredible with my senior dog! I'm completely obsessed with him & she made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. She did an amazing job sending me pictures & updates on him. I would 100 percent use her again as well as highly recommend her to friends & family. Thank you Adriana!!!!”

About: I’ve always hd dogs since I was little. I currently have 3 pitbulls at home. I do well with bathing them, walking them, and being sure they have food and water always. Pet care would be such a fun side business for me when I am not working on my full time job or at the gym. I am not able to take care of others dogs at my own home as there are 3 there already, but I am able to take of your dogs in whatever way you are most comfortable with.

“I had a great experience! He took excellent care of Buddy and made me feel comfortable leaving him with his family. 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!”

About: Hi, I'm Darron, but most people know me as Dingo. For most of my life I've been guiding people through outdoor adventures. From whitewater rafting on the Kern River to exploring the backroads and trails of Kern County, helping others experience the outdoors has always been my passion. Today, I bring that same passion to dogs. I founded Dingo's Wild Side because I believe most dogs need more than a walk around the block. They need opportunities to run, sniff, explore, problem solve, and experience the world the way dogs were designed to. Every adventure is built around safety, enrichment, and fun. Whether your dog joins a small pack hike or enjoys a one-on-one solo adventure, my goal is simple: Send them home tired, fulfilled, and smiling. What Makes Me Different Small Pack Sizes I intentionally keep groups small so every dog receives personal attention. Real Outdoor Adventures These aren't neighborhood walks. Dogs explore ranches, trails, river corridors, parks, and natural areas throughout Kern County. Adventure With Purpose Every outing provides: Physical exercise Mental stimulation Confidence building Socialization Environmental enrichment Safety First Every adventure is carefully planned around weather, terrain, group dynamics, and each dog's individual needs. My Experience Hundreds of dog adventures completed Professional outdoor guide background Experienced with large and high-energy breeds Comfortable with multi-dog management Experienced with reactive and shy dogs Strong understanding of canine behavior and body language When your dog joins me for an adventure, you can expect: Safe transportation Careful pack management Plenty of exercise Fresh air and exploration Photo updates Clear communication Most importantly, your dog will have an experience that goes beyond a typical walk. My Promise I treat every dog like an individual. Some dogs need miles of hiking. Some need confidence. Some simply need a chance to get outside and be a dog. My job is to figure out what your dog needs and help them thrive. Caring for dogs isn't something I do on weekends—it's my full-time career. I've built my life around helping dogs stay active, engaged, and happy through safe, enriching outdoor adventures. I love dogs, and I take the responsibility of caring for them seriously. Welcome to a full acre of dog heaven. Plenty of room to run, plenty of friends to play with, and endless attention from someone who truly loves dogs. Dingo's Wild Side was built with your dog's happiness, safety, and enrichment in mind. From the moment they arrive until the moment they head home, they'll be treated like a valued member of our extended family. With years of experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I make it my mission to provide more than just supervision. Your dog will enjoy exercise, socialization, mental stimulation, and real outdoor adventure. Grooming services can even be arranged during their stay, making pickup easy and convenient. Every dog deserves excitement, challenge, and the opportunity to simply be a dog—and that's exactly what they'll find here.
