About: I absolutely love animals and especially dogs. I love walking them, taking them on fun outdoor adventures and also checking in on them while you are out and about. I may not currently have a pet of my own but I promise I will love yours as if they were my own. My schedule is very open and I make my own hours with the part-time work that I do. Plenty of time to visit with and walk your fur-baby! I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhoods. Also, I can come and visit with them at your home as much as needed.

In addition to pet care, l also offer house sitting, so your pets can stay in the comfort of their home while I ensure they feel safe and loved.

About: I have a lot of love and experience with animals! My family has always loved animals, and I’ve grown up having multiple dogs throughout my life. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different personalities and love spending time playing with them, giving them attention, and taking them on walks. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and want to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a student at SBCC and currently only have classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, so I have plenty of free time on the other days to care for your pup! I’m able to be flexible with my schedule and would love to spend my free time taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention and care. I’m unable to have pets stay in my home because I live in student housing, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own home! I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and they have everything they need.

“Excellent care! Would highly recommend Damian. We have a boxer with degenerative myopathy who struggles with her back end. He did drop in visits helping her with potty breaks and keeping her company. She got comfortable with him pretty quick and he did a wonderful job. He even helped out when our stay at home person had a medical emergency. I felt like I had someone I could trust while we were away.”

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!

About: I took care of my childhood dog since I was 13, and that was for around 4 years. I am open to learning new things in order for your dog to be happy. I’m planning on getting a part time job, so I’ll have more than enough time in the mornings and late afternoon to take care of your cutie! I will always make sure to follow client-specific rules for their pets in order to keep fur babies safe and comfortable during our time together.

“She is an excellent sitter for our two cats. This was our second time and we will happily hire her again in future. She goes above and beyond; in the warm weather she visited an additional time just to make sure our cats weren’t too hot. We are comfortable traveling with the knowledge that our kitties are in good hands.”

About: HELLO! I have been a Professional Dog Walker and Pet Sitter for 20yrs, and an animal caregiver and lover for life! I've walked and cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other pets from all over Los Angeles, Malibu, and Santa Barbara. I currently live in the Lower Riviera area of Santa Barbara. I have a small size fenced in back yard for everyone to hang out and play. I walk the dogs daily and live very close to the beach(5 min drive)... I can do beach walks, and canyon hikes for the super active dogs.(at owner's discretion). Also, if your dog requires a private walk, I can do that if you let me know. I treat everyone that stays as a loving family member. :) For the safety of all, I only host dogs that I have met on a Meet n Greet, and get along well with other dogs. I normally do not take on more than 3 guest dogs, for overnight hosting so everyone gets full attention, a good nights rest, and TLC. They are all welcome to sleep anywhere in the house. I host up to 5 dogs max. for daycare only, not over night, and will discount for weekly daycare. ** For extra fun play, socializing, and exercise…I provide Mon-Fri daily 3-4hr pack walks. When booking this option please use the “Daycare” price option..(space is limited and book fast) **PLEASE NOTE** *The $111 rate is for a 24hr stay (from time of drop-off to pick-up). For example, if you drop your pet off at 9am, then the pick-up should be 9am the following day (unless otherwise pre-arranged). An extra daycare fee of up to $50 will be added through a Custom Quote for care giving time 2hrs beyond the 24hr period. ** I also can do check in's, walks, or day sitting in your hotel room if you are just visiting the SB area and it's surrounding cities. This is my full time job… I may go to the gym or go out for a meal.. either may take usually 2-3hr of time away from pet/s. SERVICES & VISITS INCLUDE: * Walking/Hiking, Playing, Petting, Brushing * Trips to the park and Canyon Hikes or Beach play * Overnight stays * Day sitting * Pets will receive fresh food, water, and medication dispensed if necessary. * Cleaning of litter box, kennel, daily * Pet Taxi services to (Groomer, Vet, or Friend's, etc) * Care of other small pets (fish, rabbits, rodents, etc.) * Extra Love, Attention & Affection HOSTING SERVICES at Pet Owner's home INCLUDE: *same as above plus: * Security checks, turning on and of lights and opening and closing drapes. * Bringing in the mail and newspapers. * Watering of indoor/outdoor plants. * Setting trash out. * Supply pickup and delivery. * Additional visits as requested. * Confidential and discreet service. * Extra Love, Attention & Affection

I currently do have a full time job with a flexible schedule. I’m open most of the day Saturday and Sunday! I can also do some evenings during the week.

Suzanne took care of our two kitties for two weeks, one of which was very shy. She did an excellent job and even our shy boy was comfortable with her. Suzanne is responsible and caring. She made it easy for me to enjoy vacation and not worry too much about leaving them. I highly recommend her.

Basilia just cared for my cat Luna while I was away on vacation and she did a fantastic job. I loved the photos and the notecard updates. She even brought a laser pointer over to play when I informed her the batteries in mine had run out the day before I was set to leave. I would recommend her great care and look forward to booking her again in the future.

Courtney is great. She’s professional, prompt and kind. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures so we could see our kitty enjoying his life while we were away. Our kitty gets walks on a leash in the neighborhood and she is very adept getting him in and out of his harness and catio. I will definitely ask her to watch Smokey again.
