Kelly was amazing with our 3 dogs! They absolutely loved her. She is so friendly and went above and beyond to make both us and the dogs feel comfortable. We really appreciated the photo updates and check-ins—it gave us peace of mind while we were away. Kelly is reliable, caring, and clearly great with animals. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!

We were very happy with Kayla. She followed our instructions for house sitting and accomplished everything we needed. Our home was neat and clean upon our return and she did a good job of watering our flowers. Most importantly, our pup like her right away. Kayla took her on walks and the neighbors that she ran into thought she was nice, polite, and taking good care of our pup. We received photos from Kayla every day and in them, our pup seemed relaxed which was reassuring. We will definitely use her again.

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: Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just being near a human at all times, I adapt to what makes them happiest. With a medical background, I’m especially attentive to instructions, medications, and changes in behavior—nothing gets overlooked. I offer pet care Friday through Sunday, which allows me to be fully present and consistent during those days. Since I work full-time during the week, I intentionally limit my availability so pets receive calm, unhurried, and reliable care, never rushed or overbooked. I care for pets in their home by sticking closely to their routine—meals on time, walks as expected, litter boxes clean, and plenty of attention based on their personality. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or just supervising me from across the room, I meet them where they’re at.
