About: Hi, I’m Valentina!! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience dog sitting, walking, playing, and doing overnight stays. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality. I’m active and outdoorsy, so I’m always happy to go on walks and adventures, but I’m just as happy hanging out at home, playing, or keeping your pet company while they relax. In my free time, I love surfing, working out, going to the beach, and camping.. so being outside is definitely my happy place! I’m also a designer and naturally creative, kind, and always optimistic. 💛 Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, playtime, and overnight care. Since I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I can easily adjust my day around your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of attention, love, and company. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet, including crating, feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty routines, and any household rules. I always respect each pet’s personality and boundaries while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love!

About: I can't remember a time without a furry (or occasionally aloof, whiskered) friend by my side. I literally came home from the hospital to a wagging tail — my family's dog was my first welcome committee, and honestly, it's been downhill ever since. In the best way. I've shared my home with cats who ran the place like tiny CEOs, and two dogs who kept me on my toes and taught me more about patience than any human ever has. If you've got a dog who needs zoomies and belly rubs, or a cat who'll deign to acknowledge my existence on her own schedule, I speak both languages fluently. I'm also a proud supporter of the Santa Barbara Humane Society — animals have given me enough joy over the years that giving back isn't optional, it's just what you do. When you leave your pet with me, you're not getting a stranger who "loves animals" in the vague, profile-filler kind of way. You're getting someone who will send you the update photos, learn your dog's weird quirks or your cat's exact opinion of strangers, and treat your critter like my own — because that's the whole job. As someone who's self-employed, I have the flexibility to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I recently said goodbye to my beloved companion, and while I'm not quite ready to welcome a new furry friend into my own home yet, caring for other people's pets has been incredibly meaningful. It keeps me connected to what I love most while giving me the chance to shower someone else's best friend with all the love and care they need. I live in a cozy casita with a secure, fenced patio area—perfect for outdoor playtime and fresh air. Since I work from home, I'm around throughout the day, which means your pet gets plenty of companionship and supervision. I'm also an active person who loves getting out, so regular walks to the park, beach, or around downtown are part of my routine. Your furry friend will get both the comfort of a home environment and the adventure of exploring Santa Barbara's best spots.

“I'm so happy that I found Honey! She and her pup Rosie were a great match for Bucky. Honey sent photos and updates often, and was very quick to respond. She was intuative with Bucky's needs and I knew he was in great hands. She has a comfortable home and bed that Bucky didn't want to get out of. This is my first experience on this app and I have no hesitation leaving Bucky with her in the future. Thanks again honey! A++”

“Our dog had a great time with Damian and immediately bonded with him. Damian communicated clearly and promptly. We look forward to working with him again.”

Julie M.

“Very kind and gentle with our fur baby! They were also flexible on the drop off and pick up time. They live right by the beach and whale watching tour pier. We will hire them again when we come back to Santa Barbara!”

Eddie S.

“Lauren was so great to work with...she responded to the daycare request promptly and immediately jumped into asking lots of questions around Remys care. I knew he'd be in good hands. Thank you for the care Lauren...”

Sharon C.

“I can't recommend Sandy enough. We were in a bind needing a last-minute sitter, and she was incredibly responsive and flexible. She made the logistics simple. My fiancé had no trouble at all coordinating drop-off and pick-up. While we were away, she sent photo updates that showed our dog relaxed and happy. When we picked him up, he was clearly well-cared for and in great spirits. Sandy truly saved the day. Thank you!”

Ericka-Joan F.

“Jacob and his wife are wonderful to work with. They cared for our Bella, and sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. This is our 2nd time working together and we highly recommend them!”

Coriander S.

“Tucker came home happy, healthy, and well loved. Something every pawrent needs to see to know their baby is in good hands. Miguel is a true pet professional and an asset to the community.”

About: I’ve owned and cared for pets over the course of my entire life. Dogs are my love and bring such joy into my world. I have always had a natural born connection that cannot really be explained. It’s a magnetism and I’m drawn to them as much as they are to me :). I have a deep understanding and knowledge of a variety of health issues that dogs commonly have including bone, joint, heart, GI issues and dietary restrictions. I’ve experienced quite a bit over the course of my life personally caring for dogs with these issues including blindness & deafness, injuries. I’m mature enough and a mom myself to confidently say that your family would be treated as my own would. I have also cared for and owned a variety of birds, fish, reptiles, bunnies, guinea pigs, chinchilla and then some! ;). Your animals would be loved as my own! Happy to do overnight care on somewhat short notice as well. Live in the Mission canyon area and have a gated yard with space for sun bathing and potty breaks/lizard chasing ;). Reliable car, DL, Insurance etc. - open to running errands, helping around the house (can discuss rate). My schedule is flexible and I’m available for boarding as well overnight with a little notice ahead of time. No problem with house sitting I have a gated yard and no pets. Nice neighborhood with friendly neighbors with dogs that enjoy each other. Local trails close by and the Riviera Theater close and other nice doggy friendly locations!

“Sophia was great with our 4 month old puppy. Sophia took great care of her, sent us updates and photos throughout the day, and was very easy to communicate with. We would definitely work with Sophia again in the future.”

Maryia M.

“Monica was great! She was available and responsive on super short notice and was very flexible when we needed to push our drop off time back. And most importantly of all, she took great care of our pups and made sure to send us several photo-filled updates over the course of the afternoon. Definitely would book with Monica again!”

Warren C.

“Kat was amazing!! I know our dog had the best time with her. She was super kind, great to communicate with and followed our dog’s routine. Kat made him very happy and comfortable :-) Would 100% book again!”

Priscilla V.

“Lindsey was great as she updated me with messages and photos of my dog. Took him on a nice dog with her dog and it was very reassuring knowing how he was doing with update photos!”

Andrew T.

“Stacey was able to accommodate a last-minute booking with my two pups for daycare. One of my dogs takes a bit more time to warm up and Stacey was sweet and patient about it. My other little guy made a friend during his visit. Excellent communication, sending updates with pictures/video. I'm looking forward to booking more visits with her!”

Catherine N.

“Tory was great! She was super flexible with a last minute ask, and Cooper liked her immediately. Tory sent updates during his stay, and he was obviously relaxed and enjoying his time with her. I highly recommend Tory, and will look to her next time we need dog care.”

About: I have had dogs in my life of all shapes and sizes since I was young and my love for them has never changed. They are the sweetest of pets and deserve all the love patience and care in the world. I love to have fun with all dogs or just hang out, whatever their needs may be. I currently have an open schedule to care and provide whenever necessary! I do morning and evening walks with my own dog but whenever needed we change it up and adjust. My home has a big fenced yard as well as baby gates at the front door to provide extra security. I have a dog of my own that is very playful and kind plus 2 family dogs that prefer their own time but have a safe and private place for themselves.

“Courtney took great care of my two anxious little rescue pups! I could tell they had a relaxing time staying with her, which is no small thing, since they tend to get very nervous with a new sitter. I would definitely use Courtney’s services again.”
