“I'm so happy that I found Honey! She and her pup Rosie were a great match for Bucky. Honey sent photos and updates often, and was very quick to respond. She was intuative with Bucky's needs and I knew he was in great hands. She has a comfortable home and bed that Bucky didn't want to get out of. This is my first experience on this app and I have no hesitation leaving Bucky with her in the future. Thanks again honey! A++”

10. James T.
“Highly recommend James! We are visiting Santa Barbara for the month and were in need of doggy daycare for our bluetick coonhound on occasion. James was very welcoming to Buddy and provided excellent care for him while we dined at a restaurant that doesn't allow dogs. We also booked James for an upcoming event so we can attend a concert and James was very accommodating with the schedule. We also appreciated his very reasonable price structure. We wish he lived in Arizona so we could have him be our go-to care provider for Buddy!”
11. Svet L.
“My dog Cozy gets very excited when meeting new people and she enjoys other small dogs so she had a great time during the 9 hours she hung out with Svet Lana. Cozy has a lot of energy and turned the walk with another small dog into more of a race. But Svet Lana was up to the challenge :) I also received lots of communication and photos. I could tell Cozy had a great time - she even cried a little as we left which I don't recall happening before.”

About: I have always grown up with all kinds of animals-- cats, dogs, hermit crabs, rats and hamsters, and even took in a squirrel in high school! I have been animal sitting/ baby sitting for money since 8th grade and will take great care of your pet. I am currently enrolled at SBCC and taking mostly online classes and currently have a lot of free time. I would love to be considered! As a freshman at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) balancing part-time work, I've structured my schedule to accommodate my studies and job responsibilities, except for Wednesdays. With planning, I'm completely capable and adaptable to a need schedule. I live in an apartment right next to Santa Barbara City College and the beach is convenient and there is plenty of grass nearby, but unfortunately, there's no yard directly where I live.

16. Miguel M.
About: My motto is that it’s my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I’m with your pup , I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it’s my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they’re used to at home . I’m a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as can just come second nature for me ! Although I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, my experience with pups is much more far reaching than that. I’ve worked with dogs big and small and loved taken care of all of them equally It’s always great to chat with owners about what makes their pup tick ! Finally , I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all
