About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I did some cat sitting while I was in undergrad and would like to continue cat sitting. I’ve always been comfortable around animals and would love to help with your cat and dog sitting needs. I work during the day but I am available in the afternoons and on the weekends! If you need an afternoon walk, or a housesit while you are out of town for the weekend, I’m your gal! I love spending time with animals, it’s usually slow at first while you gain their trust but I’ve never met an animal I couldn’t get to warm up to me. Spicy kitties included (although that might take a while and only get to a be in the same room basis)

About: We have both had dogs our entire lives and now have one pup of our own at home. We have been dog sitting for friends and on Rover for 7+ years and live an active lifestyle to keep all the dogs entertained and tired out. We dog sit all ages, breeds, and sizes and our dog is very friendly with other dogs. We are happy to provide walks, bathrooms breaks, runs, baths, and snuggles! We both currently work hybrid jobs with flexible schedules for walks, runs, and time on the beach. We are available to dog sit during the week or on weekends. Due to our hybrid schedule, we always arrange time at home accordingly for snuggles, treats, and walks/bathroom breaks. We live in a cozy 2-level condo with our own outdoor space as well as an upstairs balcony for the pups to lounge on. We are a 5 min walk to the beach and bring our own pup there almost daily. Our home is set up for dogs and we have extra beds, crates, bowls, and toys. We can feed at any designated times and provide lots of cuddles and walks throughout the day. We also have experience administering medication.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog walker based in Santa Barbara and Montecito. I truly enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, especially small and medium-sized pups. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. I always make sure walks are calm, safe, and enjoyable, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel at ease. I’m responsible, punctual, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and can fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available mornings and afternoons most days, and I enjoy staying active, so dog walking fits naturally into my day. I always make sure pets get safe, focused, and caring attention. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. During walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times and stay in safe, pet-friendly areas. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I avoid any unsafe situations or distractions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care directions. I make sure pets feel calm, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured.

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

I’ll keep you updated and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are being cared for with kindness and compassion. I work Wednesday through Saturday from 10-6pm which leaves me available all day Sunday through Tuesday, as well as early mornings, and late evenings, and overnight care the rest of the week.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved taking care of them. I have a dog of my own and have helped care for pets of all kinds, from neighborhood pups to family cats. I’ve participated in dog training classes, I’m certified in animal CPR, and I’m currently a pre-veterinarian major studying biology. So this isn’t just something I enjoy, I’m truly passionate about it. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, a check-in, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! As a college student, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have lots of time during the week and weekends to hang out with your pets. Walks, check-ins, playtime, I’d be so excited to do any of these with your furry friends. I love being outside and active, so spending time with animals is honestly the best part of my routine. I’m super mindful about keeping pets safe and comfortable, whether I’m in your home or out on a walk. I always follow care instructions closely, and I’m trained in animal CPR, so I’m prepared for emergencies (just in case!). I’ve also taken pet training classes, so I know how to read behavior and respond calmly if a pup gets nervous or overly excited. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure and happy, and to leave you feeling totally at ease, too.
About: With over 15 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to every pet I meet. From cats and dogs to small mammals, birds, reptiles and even aquatic friends, I understand the unique needs and personalities of different species, ensuring they receive the specialized care and attention they deserve. Until recently, I worked with a local animal rescue and it provided me with invaluable experience in animal welfare and behavior. I have honed my skills in feeding, administering medications, handling, and creating environments that promote comfort and well-being. Whether it's recognizing subtle signs of illness, engaging pets in stimulating activities, or simply offering companionship, I strive to make every animal feel safe and loved. Caring for animals is more than a job to me—it's a lifelong commitment and passion. I excel at maintaining routines, reducing stress, and providing affection tailored to each pet's personality. Whether your furry, feathered, or finned companion needs playtime, a soothing presence, or diligent care while you're away, I am dedicated to ensuring their happiness and health. Let me bring my extensive experience and genuine love for animals to your home, offering peace of mind that your beloved pets are in compassionate and capable hands. I have made this my career. While my schedule can vary with personal appointments, I ensure that your family’s pets always remain my top priority. Although I’m unable to host pets in my home, I’m more than happy to travel to yours! Pets often cope better with their human’s absence when they stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own environment with regular routines. That being said, if you want me to stay with them overnight or if you want me to just drop in and check on them, I'm flexible!

About: I have passion for life as well as for the animals. They should be treat with love and care. I believe that a healthy dog is a happy dog and a happy dog are those ones that exercise, go for walks and run in the nature and feel the love from their care takers. I worked at a ranch for 15 years and took care of dogs, cats, chincillas, bunnies, horses, goats, chickens. I appreciate every moment with animals and nature it is the perfect combination. I wish I can help you to take good care of your pet I understand how important for you is to find a trustful person to take care of your best friend and I can garantee this person is me. Thank you for your consideration.
About: Your pups new favorite human! I’ve been a volunteer dog foster for my local shelter for the past two years and full-on dog lover for the last 28! Since I was 9 I have volunteered with animals of all kinds, from local rescue pets to monkeys and jaguars in the jungles of Bolivia! I’m experienced with a variety or breeds and personalities. Belly rubs, park adventures, fetch, and plenty of love will flow freely while you’re away :) I am currently working part-time as a freelancer so my weekdays are pretty flexible and can accommodate most schedules. Weekends can be tricky but not impossible! Always reach out. Your home becomes my home while I’m there, and your pet becomes my whole focus. I do a full walkthrough before the first stay so I know their routine inside and out — feeding times, favorite walk route, where the leash lives, any quirks or comfort spots. Staying true to their normal rhythm is my top priority, because I know changes in routine can be stressful for them even when everything else is fine. I’m attentive to the little things — appetite, energy, mood, bathroom habits — and I’ll reach out right away if anything seems off, rather than wait and see. Medications go out on schedule, doors and gates get double-checked, and I never introduce new food or treats without checking with you first. And because I know it’s hard to be away from them, I send daily photos and videos so you can see for yourself that they’re safe, comfortable, and getting all the love they’re used to at home.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
