Dog Walking in Upper State, Santa Barbara

“We have had 3 walks with the 1st together and I am so pleased with the outcome. Wrigley really likes Cheryl and is getting used to her, but I believe it’s going to be GR8”

“Charlotte is thoughtful, caring, prompt, and her attention to detail, while taking excellent care of my dog was unparalleled. 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.”

“Kathy is great dog walker who is dependable and trustworthy. Prior to her first walk she came over to get to know our pup and familiarize herself with our training tool. She communicates quickly and we have peace of mind knowing she is taking care of our dog. We recommend her services (:”

“Jenny is a wonderfully responsible and loving caregiver to/for my cats and dogs (all "rescues"!). I have tremendous peace of mind when Jenny cares for my pets because I know she will lavish at least as much affection upon them as I do, and that I can trust her absolutely, to follow all instructions (for example, in giving medications, in not feeding the pets anything they're "senisitive" to, and in ensuring that all entrances into and exits from our home are properly secured when she leaves.) I also know that Jenny does a "head count" in order to make sure that none of the cats get accidentally locked in a room. They are always safe and sound and in great condition whenever I get home after Jenny has been over to walk the dogs and check on/play with the cats. Additionally, Jenny has just the sweetest and loveliest demeanor, so my pets are completely comfortable with her and feel very secure in her presence. I could not recommend her more highly.”

“Jessie is kind and conscientious and her pup, Rutherford, makes for a great playmate. We were very pleased with Jessie's services and would not hesitate to book her again in the future!”

“I highly recommend Katie R. She went over and above when taking care of, and walking my very active dog. To sum up what I needed: Katie exceeded my expectations! Trustworthy Honest Kind”

“Ashley was very good to my pups and incredibly professional and timely! Will use her again”

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.

“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.”

“Over the summer, I hired Jenna to look after my three cats for multiple weeks. Her attention to detail and care for my pets made her a great pet caregiver. My cats loved her and I appreciated her taking daily photos of my cats for me! I highly recommend her and am planning on hiring her again in the near future. 10/10! Thank you Jenna for taking care of my cats with such love.”

“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”

“Nick is an outstanding teenager on all fronts who I have had the pleasure of knowing for the past 10 years. He has always been a standout for me among his peers. Nick is one of the most polite, thoughtful, positive and engaging teenagers I know and my expectations are high. He is always prompt, considerate and goes above and beyond with regard to anything I request. He is communicative, kind and organized and truly cares about and loves animals. Nick is also a strong team player, he has the ability to remain in control and calm under pressure and is a true problem solver. But what strikes me the most about Nick is his compassion for and understanding of others and animals. I have always been able to completely count on and trust Nick with my 100 lb Labrador dog along with any other responsibility. Nick would be an amazing employee and a great addition to the team. Clients and their pets will love Nick.”

“Carmelina has always had such a strong love towards animals and caring for them. She is so gentle and kind towards all pets, even ones she meets just on the street. I have trusted my pet with Carmelina and she did an amazing job, my dog was so cared for and loved!”

“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.”

“Megan is truly one of the most deeply committed animal caretakers I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She is always looking out for an animal's best interests, and she has a huge heart! My experience with Megan has been with horses and dogs, and she is amazing with both, as well as a pleasure to work with personally.”

“My pups love hanging out at PJ's place so much that they don't even want to come home at go time! Besides being a beautiful setting, it has been perfectly designed for pups to play and relax. The big grassy field is perfect for a game of fetch. There is plenty of room to romp and play. A fenced-in area keeps everyone contained when necessary. I always feel good about my pups being there under PJ's care!”

“Nancy is a wonderful caring and very very nice lady and her love for dogs is unbelievable! She will do anything to make sure your dog is taken very good care of! She loves to go for long walks, so rest assured your dog will get plenty of exercise and will be in the best hands if you choose Nancy!”

“Bella has been amazing with animals her whole life including our dog, neighbor’s dogs and cats and she is a very responsible person! She cares a lot about people and their animals! Bella would be a great addition to your organization!”

“I would entrust Tara with anything, especially my fur baby! She is incredibly responsible and caring with everything she does. I've seen firsthand how Tara treats her own pets and I know that any other furry creatures left in her care will be safe and sound. She is smart and very caring, as well as devoted and diligent. Anyone would be lucky to have her taking care of their pets.”

“Jenae is great! Very punctual, had a great neighborhood walk, and made sure to restock water on a really hot day. Will definitely book again!”
