About: Hi, I'm Philip! I grew up with animals, and have always been around them for as long as I can remember. I started helping to take care of our cats, dogs, fish, and birds at home when I was about 7 years old, and have taken more complex and more numerous animal responsibilities since then. I've cared for cats, dogs, birds, fish, and even lizards for friends, family, and community throughout my teens and adult life. Daily pet care is as much a part of my routine as much as it is for the pets. I'm a scientist and engineer by trade, and I try to incorporate data on behavior, hygiene, and diet into my pet care practices (while prioritizing data from you, the pet parent!). I respect each animal's unique situation, and always do my best to make sure their needs and sensitivities are met. I've been told that I spoil pets by devoting so much time and energy to them, but so far none of the animals have complained! I promise that your fur babies will be in good hands. Thanks for considering me! I'm currently working part-time, and I currently live in an apartment with my partner and our cats. I'm not currently able to offer board for animals, but I am happy to check in, walk, or pet-sit/house-sit any day after 1pm, overnight on weekends, or overnight on pre-scheduled days of the week. I keep a list (whether mental or physical) of each pet's unique needs, and I incorporate their care into my daily routine. I always start by checking in with the pet themself, and let them know I'm there with them. I'll move on to other priorities and needs, as I'm informed about them. I always make sure to spend enough time with a pet to learn their habits, as well as their "tells" if something is wrong. I'm also big on open communication, and am happy to send text, photo, or video updates during each visit!

About: I’ve always had a special love for animals, and although I’ve never been able to have a dog or cat of my own, I have experience with dog sitting and cat sitting; whether it be day long or month long at my house, or frequent visits to others houses. I've dog-sat young puppies and elder dogs needing extra medical care. I've had 2 years of experience volunteering at local animal shelters as well! I am a full-time student at UCSB, I am usually free all day on weekends but I’m able to communicate how my class schedule will fit around caring for your pets. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run around, I’ll make sure everything is in great shape for your furry friend. In both my home and yours, your pet is my number 1 priority. I also have an SUV that I'm able to transport your pet in if desired.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with two dogs and two cats since I was three years old. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me. One of the hardest parts of being in college is being away from my own furry family, which is why I love helping others care for theirs. I’ve fostered multiple litters of kittens and have raised three dogs from puppyhood, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I am a student at UCSB currently on summer vacation working part time at the Ritz Carlton. On my days off I am available for walks and house sitting all day, and on days I do work I am available before and after work. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routines to keep them comfortable and happy. I follow all instructions, give lots of attention and affection, and keep you updated with photos and messages. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority!

About: I am a lifelong dog lover who has experience with a wide array of ages, health needs, and temperaments.

About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I grew up with a boxer dog named Kobe ever since I was three years old.

I would come to their house, feed them, play with them, and make sure they are let out to use the restroom. I now currently have a boxer who is 10 years old.

About: Hello fellow dog lovers, We are a friendly, active, outdoorsy couple in our late thirties, and we LOVE dogs. We are the go-to dog watchers for many clients and close friends, and in October 2019, we rescued a then two-year-old male German Shepherd Australian cattle dog mix, Wesley, who is just as lovable as can be. We lived in South Lake Tahoe, CA, for fourteen years and just recently moved to the Santa Barbara area so that I could begin a PhD in English at UCSB. We are available right now for dog walking and dog watching at clients’ homes. Ryan and I work most days from home, which means your dog will NOT be left home alone for most of the day. Ryan and I love to hike, mountain bike, run, and hang out at dog beaches. All of these activities will be available to your dog. We have a passion for dog care that is like no other in this town. Your dog will not regret being in our care! Sincerely, Mary and Ryan I work remotely from home, so I will be home all day to give your pup timely meals, plenty of potty breaks, and adequate exercise. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed when I leave the house for errands. I work part-time on weekdays and have plenty of time to play with your pup. I do not work on the weekends, so my schedule is wide open then. I follow client’s directions and guidance when caring for pets. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment for your pooch that will make them feel comfortable.

About: Your fur baby’s new best friend-I trained my parents puppies and have always had dogs, cats, chickens, PLENTY of room in our yard for your pets to roam. Message me for special rates. I'm available for boarding Mondays and Tuesdays. I have to hit the word count so please excuse my nonsensensical words here flabbergasting you yes indeed. Dog park across the street, house includes a spacious fenced backyard. Very dog friendly neighborhood! Please bring any necessary toys (Sherlock does not like sharing).

About: I have been around animals my whole life from hamsters, chickens, dogs, cats, and horses since I was a little girl, I love being around pets and the joy they bring me. I used to volunteer at my local Animal Hospital when I was in high school and loved seeing all the different breeds. I recently moved to Utah from California and have been weighing out my options for work and I have come to the conclusion I would be very fulfilled taking care of pets through out the day. I’m available 7 days a week! I live in an area with a dog park and plenty of exercise to be had, I treat every animal like they are my own and would truly look after your pet to ensure they are happy and safe. I have a cat that lives with me (who grew up around dogs) and 3 dogs at my folks home, so being around dogs is nothing new to me! I didn’t bring any doggy companions with me when I moved and I miss being around them. This opportunity would be beneficial for both parties, pet owners have peace of mind knowing they are in the care of a loving human, and for me I get to be around dogs again!

“Thank you for being so patient with Nora!”


Philip N.
“Philip is a true animal person. He has two kitties of his own and they are members of the family. He has cared for his and other people's pets with loving attention and kindness. He is extremely responsible and sensitive to various pet personalities, and is someone you can depend on to administer medications if needed, walk your dogs, play with and love your pets while you are absent. I have trusted him with caring for my pets over several years and he always does a terrific job so I feel good about leaving them with him. He has cared for my dogs many times when I was away over the years. I highly recommend Philip to care for your beloved angels.”
