I am very communicative and can adjust to all kinds of care routines!

“Zohe took great care of our cats and was super responsive/flexible - high recommend!”

Sean M.

“Keiko went above and beyond helping us by watching Noir while we had our wedding at the SB Courthouse. She was responsive and flexible to our less than typical ask!”

Domenica G.

“Cheryl was a great comfort to my two kitties while I was away. One cat in particular is very timid and Cheryl found his hiding spot and still checked on him and sent photos. She made sure he at least enjoyed a treat or two, which she gave to him by hand in his comfort zone. I appreciate her attention to detail and her flexibility in meeting me for key pick up before I left, when I should have had them ready for her during our meet and greet.”

Bon V.

“Stefanny was lovely to work with, she responded quickly to a last-minute booking request, and sent lots of photos of our senior cat while we were away. She gave us peace of mind that our cat was cared for, getting her medication, and eating well while we were gone.”

Claire M.

“Eleanor was amazing in watching my babies when I was away. Thank you for all your help in troubleshooting all my things for them and making sure they were okay. Will definitely book again.”

Marissa H.

“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.”

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.

About: I bring almost a decade of pet care across several different professional facilities. Whether a puppy, unruly, shy, or elderly I've dealt with it all! I've managed chaotic play yards but I love forming strong one-on-one bonds with all furry creatures- I was many a pup's favorite in the yards, especially the ones who were less confident. I am currently open and flexible in order to accomdate a variety of client schedules. Whether you need a regular walker or weekend drop ins I'm your girl! The safety and well being of your dog is always my priority! I have my own rescue dog who came with a few behavioral quirks and have worked with him extensivley to be an upstanding citizen as well as manage his behaviors in general.

“Ashley was so easy to work with and plan for our quick mid-day visit! Bailey seemed to trust her immediately at our meet and greet and im sure appreciated the visit on a long day at home alone! I arrived hours later to everything in its place and bailey as happy as ever. Would love to have Ashley stop by again in the future!”

“Always great when we book with Leo - very attentive and flexible. Good communication while we were away, and we came home to a very happy cat! Will book again, for sure.”

John S.

“Grace took care of our two kitties for 5 days while we were out of town. She was very communicative, sent lots of photo updates, and made sure we knew everything was going well. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have been relied on by friends and neighbors to walk, feed, socialize, and love on their pups for the last five years! Experience with dogs began with my own dog on the ranch I grew up at and since have house sat, walked, and done daily check ins for dogs when life gets a bit too busy. I am a full time engineer, starting work at 4am during the week. Depending on my meeting schedule, daily evening and/or afternoon walks are perfect. Every couple of hour check ins generally fit in my schedule too. I am home fairly early in the evenings and can house sit most nights of the week (especially weekends). Whatever your pet’s standard routine is, I will match it! I attempt to not disrupt their daily lifestyle. Their usual sleeping arrangements, meal times, and exercise habits will be as normal.

“Shaine was our first sitter for puppy Pixel. Shaine was on time, gave Pixel plenty to do and when I got home Pixel was soundly asleep. Couldn't have asked for a better first sitter.”

Silas F.

“Ashleigh was a great communicator and although we will never be able to know exactly how she was with the dogs, they were happy when we came back and seemed content. I will book her again. Thank you, Ashleigh!”

About: I provide patient, attentive care and treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, calm, and focused on keeping pets comfortable and safe. I have hands-on experience caring for pets’ daily needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have flexible availability and can plan my day around feedings, walks, and check-ins. I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety and comfort by following the pet’s routine exactly as instructed. I make sure their environment is clean, secure, and stress-free, whether in my home or the client’s home. I supervise pets closely, keep doors and gates secure, and communicate with owners to ensure their pet feels safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of animals, of all kinds, my whole life. Growing up on a homestead has given me the passion as well as practical skill set to take care of animals. Newborn fosters, end of life care, administering medications or specific diets are no problem at all! I’m currently working part time, so I have an abundance of availability. Missing my furry babies back home, it would be my pleasure to care for your animals. I am fully prepared and have handled difficult and aggressive animals with ease in the past. I completely understand the fear of being away from your animals, I am always available via phone to ease any concerns.

About: I’ve spent over 30 years caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and professionally. My approach is intuitive, compassionate, and grounded in a lifetime of hands-on experience. I run a local Montecito dog walking business, working with dogs of all breeds and specializing in big, athletic, and high-energy dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a Montecito-based business owner and endurance athlete, I spend much of my time on the trails and beaches — often with a dog by my side. My lifelong love of animals, combined with my endurance background, makes me especially well-suited for larger or high-energy breeds. I genuinely love bonding with dogs and take pride in being a calm, confident presence — a natural pack leader they can trust. I care for the dogs I walk as if they were my own — with plenty of love, attention, and respect for their individual needs. I’m known for giving dogs the exercise they truly crave, whether that’s an energizing trail walk, a beach romp, or a steady neighborhood outing. I stay fully present and engaged, making sure each walk is safe, stimulating, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and personality.

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.
