Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Kernville

Kernville

Do your dogs love accompanying you to the local brewery? Fido knows they'll get tons of love and affection from all the local pub patrons. If you live at the northern point of Kernville, off the road the community was named after, then you can visit Kern River Brewing. This dog-friendly brewery is "pet-sentially" two establishments in one! There's The Original Pub, which has a different menu from The Backyard. Both restaurants and breweries serve up delicious brews and eat like The Flying Pig, Tuscan chicken salad, and tortilla burger. The Original Pub has a more extensive menu than The Backyard, but Fido's favorite spot is in on that back porch! You can also try local brews like the Paddle Hard Weizenbock, Stuck Owens Imperial Stout, and 12th Anniversary Golden Stout. Your Fido will love the good times at Kernville River Brewing!

Burlando

Do your dogs consider themselves pizza aficionados? If you live in the Burlando neighborhood, you and your doggos can head over the pet-friendly Pizza Barn! Here, your little pupperonis are welcome to enjoy the local specialty, the White Water. This pizza is great after a day out on the river, with ingredients like pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and sausage that fill you up! You can also order pasta, calzones, salads, and sandwiches at this pup-friendly joint! After loading up on delicious pizza, you can head out to take a walk on the banks of the Kern River or even take a kayak or canoe over the gentler parts of the river. That way, Fido can stay balanced!

Sequoia National Forest

Do your dogs "pawnder" the heights of the Sequoia and love sniffing every tree they pass? Your dogs would love visiting the Sequoia National Forest, which is less than an hour's drive from Kernville. The trip is well worth it to see the wonders of this magical place with your dogs! Between checking out the mineral caves, hiking trails through your choice of the ecosystem — from dessert to granite peak — or just enjoying a picnic, there are dozens of fun dog-friendly things to enjoy in this state forest! One of the biggest pet-friendly draws is hiking the Trail of 100 Giants, which is a trek through Meadow Grove, a prominent grove of gigantic Sequoias. Some of these trees are estimated to be over 1,500 years old! The trail is an easy 1.3 miles long and is rated for beginners. So if you have a smaller breed, it will be a manageable hike. Your pup can't wait to see the Sequoia National Forest!

Wofford Heights

If your dog could speak English, would the majority of his barks translate to, "Let's go to the park?" Your Fido's either saying this or, "More treats, please!" If you live in the Wofford Heights neighborhood, you and your dog can walk over to Riverside Park, which sits right on the edge of the Kern River. You can walk your dog through the walking trail along the banks for a calming walk with the whirring sounds of the river accompanying you and Fido. If you have a dog that loves the water, you might want to be cautious, as the river flows very quickly in the bend by Riverside Park. Wofford Heights is a calm place to live with just the right amount of people making up the community! Fido will love their walks here!

Isabella Lake

Do your dogs love to play fetch? Especially when the tennis ball goes into the water? If you live in the southern pocket of Kernville along the shores of the Isabella Lake, you can visit the lake for some fetching games where splashing is encouraged! A great place to bring Fido is Live Oak Campgrounds where pets are allowed to hang out with their owners as they enjoy this part of the Sequoia National Forest. Along the lake, there are 90 campsites with close access to activities like swimming, fishing, boating, windsurfing, and waterskiing! Your dog will love cooling off in the water in the hot California summers!
