House Sitting in Downtown, Santa Barbara

“Matt and Cheri were amazing! They did a great job taking care of my pup, made sure to send me pictures everyday while I was away, and took great care of my house. I would recommend these two to anyone!”

“Cheryl was wonderful. I had no worries while I was gone. She kept me updated on everything that was going on with Mattie and regularly sent me pictures. The house was in great shape when I got home and the dog seemed very happy. I would definitely hire Cheryl again.”

“Another great experience with Crispin. She made sure the boys got their walks in between the torrential rain. She kept me updated and sent lots of photos. She also took care of the house to protect things when the rain started.”

“Lisa was great with my dogs as well as handling an unexpected household problem. Frequent texts kept me well informed. She went above and beyond what others have done; I will definitely use her service again. I heartily recommend Lisa.”

“Chase was amazing! You can tell right away that he has a way with animals and puts a lot of care into making sure that you and they are comfortable. He sent regular updates with cute videos and pictures so that we could see what everyone was up to. I could tell that Benny had such a great time with him. I can’t recommend Chase enough!”

“We have 3 dogs that needed sitting and walking. It was a last minute booking and we appreciate Oleksandre was responsive and reliable. Very nice guy and the dogs loved him right away. Great experience!”

About: I’ve cared for and walked dogs extensively over the last 5 years for family and friends and looking forward to expanding this service to others in the SB community I am a remote worker with a flexible schedule. I spend a lot of my time outdoors whether getting sunshine on the beach or on the trails! I have a pup of my own so if yours ever needs some socializing I can bring her with us or leave her at home if your pup desires more one on one care. I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own!! I will provide updates to you on our walks or overnight care so you feel in the loop and at ease.

“Olivia is amazing. She helped us out last minute to sit our dog Snowby at the Hilton hotel where we were staying. She was prompt in her replies and was extremely flexible with the rover arrangement for the day. She took Snowby out for walks regularly and gave her enough attention to keep her pampered and loved. We highly recommend Olivia for taking care of your puppers and doggos.”

“We have a 10 year old German Shepard used having a consistency and in charge at home. Contacted Jeanette thru Rover and she seemed a perfect fit to stay at house and watch Ziggy for a few days. She is so accommodating coming to house night before to meet as he can be wary of a new person in the house. Jeanette met and was so relaxed even as Ziggy was qualifying her and after a few treats, feeding Ziggy dinner the two bonded. We did suggest she could go to her home to visit with her family, which she did and it all worked well. Jeanette does work from home so she was able to do that at our home as well. Jeanette also shared with us she had taken classes on dog behavior and health. She has dogs herself which we are sure helped her to transition Ziggy to her. Such a nice pleasant, accommodating and caring person we highly recommend Jeanette if you need a house/dog sitter.”

“I will be using Grace again! My dog is shy and tends to be depressed when I leave, as he’s a major Velcro boi. Grace was respectful of his space and had a good handle on his insecurities. She only stayed with him for 24 hrs but was on top of communication and his activities. Can’t wait for them to build their bond!”

About: I have been responsible for the care and well-being of various pets since the age of 13, including a diverse range of cats and dogs. Over the years, I have developed expertise in pet training, ensuring the health, safety, and happiness of animals under my care. I am currently balancing part-time positions at both a hospital and in college. For the summer, I am available seven days a week, with flexible hours up until 3 PM I ensure that the environment is free from potential hazards, including unsafe materials or foods. Additionally, I provide ample space for the pet's needs, such as play, eating, and rest. I consistently monitor their well-being to ensure everything is running smoothly and safely.

“Alyvia is the absolute best. She stepped up when my original sitter fell through and came over morning of for a multi-day house sitter booking. She was excellent with communication and sending photos. Then when I had troubles with my travel home, she stepped up and stayed longer to make sure my dog was okay. Alyvia is kind, responsible, and within five minutes of meeting her, she had my full trust to take care of my dog and house. Thank you for everything!”

“Lisa was amazing with our sweet Lily. She was communicative and responsive and took awesome care of our girl. We definitely recommend Lisa highly and would use her again!”

Beth C.

“Leo was great! Took great care of our pups and chickens. Updated daily with photos of happy and safe dogs. We will definitely book Leo in the future!”

Daniel M.

“Ann was sweet and patient with my kitty and very communicative, sending me updates and photos to ease my mind while I was out of town. It is clear that Ann truly cares about animals and is attentive to their nonverbal communication. I felt assured that my sweet baby was in good hands, and I returned home to a happy kitty.”

Lauren W.

“We went away to visit our daughter. There are only 2 people we trust our dogs with when we are away. Dario is one of them. Thanks for caring for our fur babies as if they are your own! Archie and Lennon love Dario!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats ever since I was about 10 years old. I have fostered kittens for years, bringing them back to the Humane Society for adoption. I have also had the opportunity to have other pets of all kinds; Guinea pigs, rabbits, puppies, and cats. I have cared for a little bit of everything! I love them all! I currently work a regular 9-5. So, I would be ideal for early morning and late night care, or anytime during the weekends! But, I am also able to pet sit, if needed! I always care for pets and their homes, in the same way that I would care for my own. I am patient, kind, and loving with pets, and I am respectful and cautious when caring for pets in their owners homes. Overall, I am gentle and thoughtful!

“Emily was awesome! Communicated with us regularly and took great care of the pups. We even had an issue with some minor flooding and she was gracious enough to help us out with that and made the situation much less stressful. Will book again!”

About: Hi! My name is Lauren, and I have over five years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and behaviors. I fostered dogs with my mom from 2020-2022, helping them transition from rescue to loving homes. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, where I was responsible for managing group play, monitoring different behaviors, feeding schedules, and ensuring a safe and happy environment for all dogs. If you're looking for someone with lots of experience, a lifelong love for animals, and a dependable presence, I'm here to help when you need a sitter you can trust. Since I already care for my own rescue cat, tending to animals is just a regular part of my day! I currently work part time, which gives me the flexibility to schedule visits, walks, or check ins around your pet’s needs. I am available during early mornings, early afternoons, and evenings! I take the time to learn each pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, preferred walks, or playtime preferences. I emphasize making sure to keep everything tidy, from food bowls to litter boxes. Finally, I always want to provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. Comfort for both my client and their pet is of the utmost importance to me.

“Aliyah was great with our dogs! She arrived on time and sent us lots of update and pictures. We were definitely reassured that our dogs were in good hands and had someone to keep them company.”
