“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.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a young girl. I have experience and knowledge with a wide range of breeds, behaviors, and pet wellness. As someone who has raised and loved dogs throughout my life and is fortunate to have an Aunt who is a veterinarian, I believe I am uniquely qualified to care for other people's animals as well. I currently have a 30lb scruff named Lily who is a Griffon Verdeen mix and enjoys playing, napping, and going on long sniff walks. I always have her greet other dogs on a walk before letting them into the house so that both dogs can get their excitement energy out before the house sniffing begins. If you have any questions or special needs, please feel free to reach out and discuss them. I can currently work remotely, so my daily routine is adaptable to the needs of the day. I am available for walks throughout the day and check-ins. I have a fenced in backyard, friendly neighbors, a playful medium sized dog and a dog-friendly home. I also feel comfortable house sitting if that is a need as well.

About: I have been around dogs and other pets my whole life. When I was a kid, I walked dogs in our neighborhood, including my own. I used to have my own hedgehog, and have helped care for friends’ dogs and cats. I work part-time and have time during my days to stop in and spend time with your pets! Mornings are the most free for me, and I am not traveling much in the coming months, so I am available for overnights. I am a big fan of spending time with pets, and would love to follow all specific directions that you might have for the care of your pet.


“I was able to book with Jennifer very last minute (so helpful, thank you Jennifer!) and she watched my girl while I went snowboarding for the day. I was so appreciative of her detailed updates and photos. She took great care of Brooklyn and I could tell she really cared about her. She was excellent at communicating with me and I would 100% use Jennifer again.”


“Alex was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Our dog came home exhausted as they went on multiple excursions with Alex. We feel our dog was well cared for during her stays with Alex. Thank you Alex!”


About: Over 35 years of animal care experience with a lot of extra time on my hands post retirement. I would love to share that time with your fur babies!!

I live in Santa Barbara, but can travel and would love to care for your fur babies!! I will treat your babies and your home like they are my own! There is a risk of them potentially getting too much love as we are huge animal lovers in this house!!

About: I’ve been taking care of my own cats and dogs since I was young. I LOVE animals of all ages and sizes. It’s always been easy for me to bond and develop trust with them. I would love to come play, give cuddles and become BFFs with your pet:) I’m currently on sabbatical so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I’m flexible Monday - Sunday and currently available for walks, in-home visits, & doggy daycare. I will make sure your pet has plenty of room to play and get comfortable.

“Jenna has watched our two dogs on multiple occasions. We have a 1 year old puppy and an 11 year old senior dog. Watching them is not very easy. Jenna is great with both of them.
