“Mario has always been great with my little maltipoo. And we now have a labradoodle and he loved it there as well. Mario goes out of his way to send pictures and do some great training things with him. Easy to work with and great communication. Definitely recommend.”
“Shaun is amazing. My dog Lottie is a nervous rescue with terrible separation anxiety and I was so worried about leaving her for the first time. However, Shaun being the kind, gentle, and patient person she is, I felt at ease knowing Lottie would be under her care. Shaun sent me several updates and photos throughout the weekend and when it came time to pick up my dog, Lottie was playing with Shaun! (Which is huge, she takes a long time before showing her playfulness.) Needless to say, I recommend Shaun!”
“We felt so lucky to have found Lynn & Marty to care for our sweet boy while we were out of town. They were incredibly kind, warm and communicative throughout the entire process. They are true dog lovers, and we had great peace of mind knowing Sonny was with such wonderful people during our trip. Thank you, Lynn & Marty!”
“Lexi was a great sitter for our dog! She is friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Lexi kept us in the loop and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing our pup was in good hands! Thank you, Lexi!”
“Kaye was there for me when I was in a bind. She saved me from cancelling a trip that had been scheduled for some time. She also kept in touch about Stella’s progress. Thanks Kaye.”
“Eve is amazing! She clearly has such a genuine love for dogs, she bonded immediately with my puppy Basil, sent me so many sweet photos and updates and put me at ease. Her home and yard are beautiful, and she is seriously a dog whisperer. She sent me a video of my puppy walking with the best leash manners I have ever seen despite many puppy classes, and creative treat options that I use at home. I would absolutely book with Eve again, and recommend her to anyone. Thank you Eve for taking such good care of my sweet boy, and for the warm and caring communication.”
“Best sitters ever! Our son had a blast! They were very caring and loving towards our Ikaika and they kept us updated with photos. We’re booking again this week! Thank you for being great to our Ikaika Blue!”
“Todd and Febronia have a great backyard for the pups they watch to roam, and were glad to take care of our labradoodle for the day while we were out of town. They were communicative and sent pictures throughout the day which was nice.”
“Deandra did a great job with our doggo. Her dog was great with ours and she was intentional with how they greeted one another. Our dog came back home TIRED! Would def recommend and will for sure use again in the future.”
“Our fur babies stayed with Alexandra and Billy during our vacation in Santa Barbara. They were very accommodating during our time there. We were able to pick our pups, spend time with them and drop them off again. Our pups were happy and well taken care of. We will definitely contact them again on future visits to the area.”
“Tony was great with our dog, Monty! He watched him for one week at his home. He took him on adventures everyday and sent pictures daily. We would 100% recommend Tony to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and especially puppies. I’ve personally trained two puppies from scratch, so I’m comfortable with the patience and consistency it takes to support a dog through their early years. I have a deep, intuitive connection with animals and often find I understand their energy and needs even better than people’s. I work for myself from home here in Santa Barbara, which means I have plenty of flexibility to give pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, belly rubs, or just a calm, safe space, I approach every animal with genuine care and a tender heart. I’m also very active, so long walks and outdoor time are a highlight for both me and the dogs I care for. I work for myself and from home, so my schedule is very flexible. That means I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs—whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I’ll always make time to give your pet the attention and consistency they deserve. Every animal is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual needs, energy, and comfort level. I’ll meet your dog or cat where they’re at—whether that means extra space, extra snuggles, or gentle structure—with clear, compassionate boundaries to keep them safe and happy. If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I live in a calm, pet-friendly apartment near Santa Barbara City College, with plenty of walkable paths and green spaces nearby. I love getting outside and take dogs on multiple long walks throughout the day. If your dog is social and has solid recall, I can bring them to local off-leash areas for supervised play and exploration. I have one small dog of my own—Pepper, a 3.5-year-old mixed breed who’s very friendly and well-socialized. I also have two young stepsons who are with us 50% of the time, so dogs staying in our home must be kid-friendly. The good news? Your dog will get plenty of love and attention from four caring humans. I’ve trained two of my own dogs from puppyhood and am confident managing a range of behaviors—from leash training to crate routines and basic obedience. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for senior pets or those with special needs. For cat care, I’m especially attuned to their unique rhythms and boundaries, and I provide calm, consistent care whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them during a stay. Whether I’m boarding, walking, or house sitting, your pet will be safe, respected, and genuinely cared for—just like family.
“Amber is truly the best sitter I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Mochi always had a great time at her place. She even took Mochi to see the cherry blossoms. We highly recommend Amber to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“My dog had such a great weekend with Jenni and Sawyer. I got daily updates with pics/videos and a description of their day. It's so nice to be able to go out of town and not worry about my dog. I would definitely use Jenni as a sitter again!”
“My baby Red absolutely had the time of her life! She had so much fun hanging out with Katherine’s other two dogs! Katherine does send videos and pictures so it feels better leaving your baby in her hands!”
About: Hello! We are a family of 4 (our girl is 8 and our boy is 12) that loves dogs!! We also have allergies so only hypoallergenic dogs please if you are booking for boarding or day care. We have one dog, and Aussie doodle, that is very social and loves having friends over! :) Dogs must be good with children, other dogs and have good manners. :) We have a nice big fenced yard for lots of outdoor play, a great neighborhood for walks, and we are also very close to the beach and mountains if you have an active dog that likes to get out and about. We can’t wait to love your sweet dog as our own and shower it with love and attention! We have flexible working-from-home schedules. Our kids are in a school schedule with extra time in mornings, evenings and weekends. We would love to welcome your dog as our own! We have a fenced yard.
