About: As a dog caretaker, I have a passion for caring for and nurturing furry friends. I have always had a deep love for dogs, and my years of experience in the field have taught me how to provide them with the best care possible. From feeding and grooming to exercise and playtime, I take great pride in making sure that each dog in my care receives the attention and love they deserve. One of the most important aspects of being a dog caretaker is understanding the unique needs and personalities of each individual dog. Whether it's a high-energy pup who needs plenty of exercise or a senior dog who requires extra patience and care, I am dedicated to providing personalized care for each dog in my care. I understand that every dog is different, and I always strive to create a safe, comfortable environment that meets their specific needs. In addition to my years of experience in dog care, I am also committed to ongoing education and professional development. I regularly attend seminars and workshops to learn about new techniques and technologies in the field, as well as to stay up-to-date on the latest research and best practices in dog care. I believe that ongoing learning is key to providing the best possible care for the dogs in my care. Above all, I am dedicated to providing a loving, nurturing environment for each and every dog in my care. Whether it's a quick check-in or a long-term stay, I take my role as a caretaker seriously and am committed to making sure that every dog receives the attention, care, and love they deserve. I believe that dogs are truly special creatures, and it is an honor to be able to care for them and make a positive impact in their lives. As a remote worker, my schedule can be unpredictable at times. However, I am committed to providing the best possible care for the dogs in my life, which is why dog day care is such an important part of my routine. By enrolling my furry friends in a reputable dog day care facility, I am able to ensure that they are receiving the socialization, exercise, and attention they need, even on days when I am tied up with work obligations. This not only benefits the dogs, but it also allows me to focus on my work with peace of mind, knowing that my pets are being well-cared for in a safe and nurturing environment. Additionally, dog day care provides a valuable opportunity for my dogs to interact with other dogs and people, which helps to promote healthy socialization and prevent behavioral issues. Overall, dog day care is a vital component of my schedule as a remote worker, as it allows me to prioritize both my work and my beloved furry companions. Having a fenced yard and providing constant supervision, coupled with love, is the ideal environment for dogs. A fenced yard provides dogs with the freedom to play and exercise in a safe and secure environment, while constant supervision ensures that they are always being looked after and protected from potential hazards. This combination of factors promotes both physical and mental health, as dogs are able to engage in their natural behaviors while also feeling secure and loved. Furthermore, the bond between a dog and their caretaker is strengthened through constant supervision and affection, creating a positive and trusting relationship. Overall, a fenced yard and constant supervision, combined with love, provides the best possible conditions for dogs to thrive and lead happy and healthy lives.

“Kathy is amazing, and I always go with her for dog walking/sitting needs. Flexible, kind, trustworthy and responsive. Best of all my dog loves being with her!”

She is a stand out even amongst some amazing sitters I have had the privilege of working with, and truly caring for, Doug E . I would recommend her to anybody that cares about their pet. Thank you so much, Charlotte.”

“Melissa is the BEST! Xena LOVES her. I sprained my ankle and Melissa jumped right in and rescued me. She picked up our regular routine and brought Xena to Elings Park so she could play with other pups and chase her favorite ball. Xena arrives home happy and exhausted! I highly recommend Melissa!”

“Wendy is the best pet sitter I've ever experienced. She is an animal whisperer and treats all animals with the love and respect they deserve. Wendy has dog sat for two of my dogs (big and small) in the past couple of years and both of my dogs have adored her. She's ultra responsible and full of fun ideas for keeping my dogs happy when I'm out of town. I can't recommend her more highly. Liz L. Santa Barbara”

“We traveled up from San Diego with our dogs to get married at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and needed someone to hang out with them outside while we signed papers and did the ceremony. Lisa was so wonderful!!! She was so quick to get back to me as we were making plans, she showed up on time and was warm and friendly. She also offered to stay longer while we were taking photos which was so nice because it was pretty chaotic. I’d definitely hire Lisa again and can confidently recommend her if you need a reliable dog sitter.”

“I needed a last minute dog walker for my puppy. Matilda responded within minutes! She was able to walk my 60 pound puppy with ease! My pup loved her so much we booked again the next day!”

“I had the pleasure of having Krysta pet sit for my cats, and I couldn't have been more impressed with her level of care and dedication. Her genuine love for animals is evident in every interaction she has with them. Not only did she ensure that my cats were well-fed and comfortable, but she also took the time to play with them and give them the affection they needed while I was away. Krysta is incredibly responsible and goes above and beyond to meet the unique needs of each pet she cares for. I felt completely at ease knowing that my furry friends were in such capable hands. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Krysta as a pet sitter and dog walker. Anyone who entrusts their beloved pets to her care can rest assured that they will receive the best possible attention and affection.”

“There’s nothing more satisfying than finding the right person to take care of your beloved pet. Ashley is more than qualified to take on any challenge when making your pet feel comfortable. My beloved dog, Bruno, adored her so much and loved when she’d take him for walks. If you’re trying to find someone who has such a compassion for animals look no further than her. Truly an amazing and kind person.”

“It’s readily apparent within moments of meeting Meagan how much of an animal lover she is. From the smallest (and sassiest) of pups to the big, slobbery dogs, Meagan is great with them all. She is always checking in on my Lily and has been so gentle as Lily came from a very traumatic situation and is slowly learning to trust people again. Meagan’s patience and calm demeanor gives me such peace of mind when I have to leave Lily. And to me, that’s invaluable.”
