House Sitting in Isla Vista

“Crispin took exceptional care of our new dog! She shared photos and kept us updated throughout our time away. We really felt we could relax knowing our dog was in such good hands!”

“I highly recommend Brionna to house sit. When we first met them, they came with a list of questions to help understand all of the animals AND came back for a second meet and greet to get reacquainted. We got daily updates about our 3 animals and pictures every day. They even got our dog a Christmas present. We will absolutely rebook Brionna again.”

“We love having Anya pet sit for our dog, Biscuit! Biscuit is very energetic and can be wary of new people, but he warmed up to Anya quickly and is extremely comfortable with her. Biscuit also requires heart and joint medications, and Anya is great at administering those to him. We completely trust Anya with Biscuit, and have started having her house sit for us when she’s in town. She’s friendly, reliable, and most importantly, genuinely cares about the doggies!”

“We’ve been so fortunate to have Zetong (Hazel) as a trusted walker for our dogs, but very recently when a family member passed away unexpectedly, she also became a trusted house sitter, taking good care of both our home and our pups. In our hurry we failed to give Hazel some important information, but she rolled with things, which was reassuring. We also appreciate the way she jumped in and offered us as much flexibility as she could, continued to be there for our pups, love on them and kept the photos and updates coming. Thank you, Hazel! We appreciate you, and our pups love you!”

“My dogs LOVE Brittany!! I have 4 chihuahua mixes ranging in age from 1 year to 9 years old, and my son (who does not live with us) has a 6 year old 80 pound Rhodesian/Husky mix. All of them adore visiting with Brittany. We’ve had the pleasure of meeting Brittany’s own dog also…Trixie is a delight & obviously very well cared for! I am extremely overbearing with my pets, they are my babies!! I have no qualms about recommending Brittany to anyone who needs help caring for their pets.”

“Kristina looked after our two dogs in our house for 7 days over New Year. She was diligent, responsive and a pleasure to work with. The dogs really liked her. We would certainly book her again!”

“Natalie surpassed anything I expected, while taking care of Mia. She kept me well informed about their activities and from the pictures she sent, Mia looked happy, which is all you want when you travel away from your pup. My house was very clean and well taken care of too. I would definitely book with Natalie again and I know Mia would be happy to see her.”

“Kepa was awesome! Offered to do a meet and greet the day before dog sitting Teemo. Our dog can be nervous and shy, Kepa took the time to let Teemo warm up to him. Took him on several walks while we were away and hu g out with him on the couch.”

“Gloria is amazing with animals, but dogs particularly are immediately drawn to her. I have a lovely mini Aussie, who only has 5% hearing in one ear. He requires special attention and love, which Gloria does not shy away from. She fully understood and listened to me when I told her what Obi and I both needed from her to ensure he feels the most comfortable in her care. He warmed up to her immediately and I knew he was safe to leave in her care. She even organized his toys for me! He wouldn’t let her leave the house, and he gets excited every time she comes over.”

“Sheena has been so responsible in taking care of our dog and watching after our home. We appreciate her thoughtfulness and caring, especially because our dog is older and requires extra care. She is great!”

“Meg did a great job caring for our dog in our home. Our dog has some separation anxiety issues and Meg did a great job of meeting her needs. Meg was easy to work with, reliable, and a good communicator. We would definitely work with her again.”

About: I grew up taking care of 3 dogs and a cat throughout my childhood. Since then, my family had adopted 2 new cats whom I've loved and cared for. I trained my dogs, including puppies from litters by my dogs before they were given new homes. I cared for sick puppies and my own dogs ailments through tube feeding, wound care, medication administration, etc. I owned poodles and would groom them myself. I miss having animals now that I am in college and would feel so grateful to get to spend time with your animals. Additionally, I am all of my friend's go to person during winter or spring breaks for pet sitting, sometimes taking care of 6 animals at a time! I work full time, so I am mostly available weekends and evenings. I can also do early morning walks if needed. I am happy to stay in your home overnight and provide your animal with love and company in your absence. Owners know their pets best, so I understand the importance of following the owners instructions in order to keep their pets safe, happy, and comfortable.

“Sophia thank you for being so attentive to our two new kitties! They were happy and well taken care of. We appreciate the photos so that we could see their sweet faces. Sophia was very respectful of our home!”

“David is a caring young man who is excellent at handling dogs and cats. He has my trust because he has proven to me to take great care of my dogs and is a caring person who always does his best.”

“Dawer went above and beyond for us. This was our first time using Dawer for housesitting, and he did absolutely amazing. I will recommend him to everyone I know. I will definitely be using your services again, Dawer. After an extremely stressful travel day, I came home to a healthy and happy dog, as well as a clean house. You’d be lucky to have him take care of your dog.”

About: I currently do not have a dog of my own but growing up I had 3 dogs total. My first dog was a Maltese and I currently have 2 dogs at my parents house, one is a Rottweiler and the other dog is a Huskey. I have experience of caring for different size dogs. I enjoy caring for any breed of dog whether it is walking, feeding, training, washing, and releasing all of their energy! My skills on training is limited but I am able to potty train and teach them how to sit! I take care of my animals as if they were children and I give them all of my undivided attention and love! I currently work part time at a restaurant and attend university full time! I am definitely free on Monday, Thursday and Friday. However, I am available during the morning and early afternoon on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday! I currently live in a pet friendly apartment complex that is gated and fenced. There is many play areas for the dog in the main courtyard of my complex. I am also a 3 minute walking distance from a nice trail that leads to the beach. I am able to host 2 dogs at my apartment and the size is not a problem!

About: I’ve had two dogs since I was the little starting at eight. I’ve been watching dogs since I was 12 which included, neighbors, friends and family. You name it I can do it! I know how important your dog is to you since I have my own I can promise I’ll treat it just like my family. I can work any day of the week for long periods of time! I can work pretty much anytime and anywhere. I would love to help you out:) My technique since I was little for taking care of pets is being gentle and kind. Dogs deserve someone who is responsible and loving, and I can provide that!

About: Being the son of a dog breeder and show handler, I've lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs of all sizes for as long as I can remember. Whether big or small, old or young, I've got the experience to work with your dog and keep them enriched and out of trouble. I'm currently a student at UCSB, so while my schedule changes occasionally, I've got plenty of free time. This quarter (ending June 6 2024) I'm available to dog sit anytime between Friday and Monday at 4pm. Additionally, I'm also available to walk your dog within this interval, as well as on Wednesdays after 3pm. I have plenty of experience maintaining a safe yet playful and relaxing environment for any dog, as I deeply enjoy spending time with any and all canines. I'm adept at leashing and crating if necessary, as well as a possessing a keen eye for noticing when dogs find something they shouldn't have (an experience we all know well). Moreover, I have a strong walking arm and am proficient at keeping dog-dog interactions safe, so your dogs will be in good hands during walks.

“Getty loved his House Sitting with Neena. They bonded quickly. Neena was very responsive to my texts and requests. I would definitely use Neena again.”

“Madison was amazing, super trustworthy, great with problem solving and communication :)”
