“Deandra was a great pet sitter for my senior 5 lb dog. I used her for extended drop ins two days in a row and she always came right as scheduled, checked in with me, and sent plenty of pictures and an update on my dog when she left. She gave my dog lots of love, treats, and outdoors time and he was happy and relaxed every time I came home after one of her visits. I’m so happy I found her and will be using her as a pet sitter going forward!”

About: Hello There! My little family and myself are pet lovers! 🥰 We have two dogs, two cats and a bearded dragon. Our home has always been a bit of a revolving door for furry friends. I have been dog walking and pet sitting locally for the past 17yrs and have plenty of references. I am out and about most mornings doing dog walks, typically 9/930-12ish and available again most afternoon or evenings depending on what you need. I work for an afterschool program during the school year so my schedule tends to open up a bit more during the summer. We have a high, fully fenced in back yard w plenty of shade. I tend to take boarded pups w me on my walks if the temperament works. We live in a very quiet little corner in Carpinteria surrounded by parks and bike trails.
About: I loved dogs so much when I was young that when I was 13 I started my first job as a dog washer at the “European Grooming” dog groomers up the street from my childhood home. I would work there all day every Saturday and loved it because I got to be with so many dogs. I also have been a second mom to my friend’s two Pitbull pups which have been quite a handful, but noting I can’t handle! I have experience helping to train and discipline even the most hyper and aggressive pupsters. I’m currently working part time remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I just moved here and I think it would be fun to get to walk dogs while walking around this beautiful area 🌊 I can’t have dogs come to my home because my roommates have territorial cats, but I am happy to house sit and walk dogs to help families who need a reliable dog sitter.
About: I'm a lifelong animal owner and lover - large breeds and small or with fur, scales, hooves, or feathers. My live-in partner is the manager of a veterinary clinic and I am a certified dog trainer with an extensive history of working in the animal industry at pet stores, groomers, and ranches. Together, we offer a uniquely loving, experienced, and structured environment for pets of any size or special needs. Pets in our care are spoiled with snuggles and lots of love, treats (when permitted by their owners) and rarely spend time out of our sight. Long walks and playtime with our cattle dog and chihuahua wear out most dogs in no time. Unless specifically requested by their owners, dogs in our care are never crated for extended periods or locked inside without access to a fenced patio. I work from home and offer an open, flexible schedule for clients with pets of all kinds. My pups and I begin each day with a walk to the beach, then home for a quick bath, brush, and nap before more playtime in the afternoon. Working from home allows me all the time in the world to pamper my pups and our visiting guests, offering customized care for their unique needs. I treat drop-in visits like I would my own home, bringing in packages and ensuring everyone is happy and healthy before departing. Pets in my care are given extensive mental enrichment and physical exercise, with photos sent each visit to pet parents to ease any concerns and keep you informed about what your beloved furry family member is up to each day.
About: Absolutely love dog sitting all kinds of breeds, any pet is a valuable addition to the family. I have grown up with different dog breeds and have experience dog sitting over night. Pittbulls are personally my favorite dog breed. I’m currently working part time and just wanting to provide a helping hand in anyway I can. I’m available all week long my schedule is very flexible. I live in a gated community and I have a fenced in yard with grass and dirt. I also have a five year old pet friendly husky named Rosy, and two cats named Artemis and Iris. If needed I can have separated since my yard splits into two with a gate.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was born. I’ve had bunnies and cats and fish and dogs and birds. I’ve learned great ways to meet each of these animals with gentle and respectful care. I primarily work Monday-Wednesday 11am-8pm. I’m much more available in the evenings and weekends to take care of beloved pets. Pet walks would be most accessible on Thursdays-Sundays. I do not offer pet care in my home, I don’t have pets because I live in a very tiny apartment and know that’s not conducive for their wellbeing. In my client’s home, I show the utmost respect and care for their items, animal care needs and I triple check that I leave everything clean and locked.

“Laura was fantastic! She took good care of our cat, Rocky, for four days and kept us updated with regular messages and pictures. Rocky is usually shy around strangers but he warmed up to her quickly. We appreciated her prompt communication and attention to details. We’ll definitely book with her again in the future. Thank you, Laura!”

“Our cat is the definition of a scaredy cat and hides whenever anyone who isn't us comes over, but Noah always made sure she had fresh food, water, and litter and would look in all her hiding spots to make sure she was good!”

About: Hi there! My name is Siera, and I am an experienced dog walker with a lifelong love for these amazing animals. Growing up, I owned dogs my entire life, which has given me an innate understanding of what it takes to care for and connect with them. Over the years, I have worked with many different types of dogs, including timid rescue dogs who require a little extra patience and TLC. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to read dog body language, which helps me to understand what a dog is feeling and how to respond accordingly. This skill allows me to create a bond of trust with each dog I work with, ensuring that they are comfortable and happy during our time together. As your dog walker, I will provide personalized care and attention to your furry friend. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a long walk to burn off some energy, I am here to help. With me, you can rest assured that your pup is in good hands. I have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to walk your pups! I am available weekdays and weekends - morning, midday or evening time. I know how important it is for dogs to get exercise and fresh air, which is why I take pride in providing fun and stimulating walks for your furry friend. During our walks, I will ensure that your dog is safe and comfortable while exploring the outdoors. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines you have for your pet, so you can rest easy knowing that they are getting the care they need.

About: Since I was a little girl I've had the opportunity to raise and care for a variety of dog breeds...dalmatian, maltese, miniature schnauzer, tea cup poodle, and chihuahua. One of my most memorable moments I had growing up was when I woke up to my dalmatian Pepper's newborn puppies that my parents placed around me in my bed. They were absolutely adorable! I will never forget their sweet little faces! From a very young age I learned the responsibilties of quality pet care...proper nutrition, exercise, and T.L.C. I've also had the opportunity to care for extended family and friends dogs, which include various breeds such as labrador retriever, border collie, samoyed, Boston terrier, great dane, golden retriever, and goldendoodle. I am thankful for being able to care for so many great and unique dogs over the years. In the future, I would love to own a Bernese Mountian dog! At this point in time, I enjoy caring for other's dogs and would love the opportunity to watch your dog or doggies!!
About: I've cared for large and small animals since I was young.

I work 7:30-3:30, but am available 24/7 during vacation weeks (Thanksgiving/Christmas/spring break). I love to go for morning and evening dog walks and to spend as much time as possible outside. I am available to stay in your home so your pet is comfortable and routines stay consistent. I provide enrichment activities, walks, and lots of love and cuddles!
