“Damian did a great job watching over our two little ones! He provided plenty of updates during their stay and we felt like we could relax while they were in his care. Bella and Duncan came back tired out which is exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend Damian if you are looking for a playdate for your pup! Looking forward to using him again 🙂”


“Joseph was really nice and allowed me to come inside to his home to check out where my dog would be roaming as well as allowed me to meet his dogs. He sent me pictures throughout my dogs visit and remained professional and kind!”


“Jenni provides excellent communication and a really calm, loving environment for dog daycare. She takes just one dog at a time. She has a very sweet, mellow dog of her own. In addition to walks, there is a sunny and fenced in courtyard. The location is easy to get to.”


“James was super accommodating! We are visiting the area from out of town and needed a last minute doggy sitter. James was responsive and took great care of our Chippy. Thank you!”


About: With experience in pet rescue, fostering, adopting, and sitting I offer compassionate and customized care for your pet's needs. Lover of all breeds and sizes; partial to senior dogs, I'm familiar with managing special diets, medications, or extra comfort. Safety and snuggles are the goal for every pet! I've been impacted by tech layoffs, so currently available to care for your pet at my home or yours, M-F, from 8am onwards. Plenty of notice will be given should my availability change, but my work is remote/from home so unlikely to have a huge impact on available hours. Mi casa, or Su casa! I'm in a single family home with a fenced yard. The yard area is accessible all day. I've got one small, dog-friendly, senior frenchie that will gladly share his cots, blankets, and toys but will likely ignore your dog most of the day cuz he's too busy napping. You're welcome to bring crates, beds, blankets, or toys to make your fur baby comfortable. But we love to share ours. Water bowls are accessible all day. I'm happy to provide food, treats, and/or meds per your instructions.

“Eve took great care of our pup! He got some exercise, lots of cuddles and an extra yummy dinner. We were so fortunate to connect with her and couldn’t have found a better care giver for our dog. Thank you, Eve!”


“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++”

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. I make sure to stay on feeding and potty schedule. Plenty of time will be spent developing trust and safety with your pet.

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 am a recently retired government employee of 27 years. I have three dogs and two cats of my own, including one special needs cat that is 15 years old. 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: Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to two adorable pups: Buttercup (12), my sweet senior with special needs and daily medications, and Mochi (5), a goofy, high-energy ball of love. I’ve raised them both since they were tiny pups. I grew up with huskies and horses, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle care, or a calm, experienced sitter for meds or routines—I’ve got you covered. 🐾 Why pet parents book me: • Firsthand experience with senior dogs & medications • Calm, loving, and deeply reliable care • Great with shy, energetic, or special needs pups • Flexible for last-minute walks or overnights • Fast communication & peace of mind while you’re away Most of my time is spent at my house as I am a work remote/work from home freelance video producer and editor in television. So your pet will have my full attention and I’ll be able to accommodate schedules and routines! At home, I keep your babies with me and separate from our two very friendly (with dogs and humans) shitzu pups. If you’re comfortable with the pups mixing and mingling, then I’ll let them hang out together. Otherwise, I’ll keep your pet with me in my office. My office has a couch, a dog bed and if they like to cool off their warm bellies, a hardwood floor. Regardless, your pet will be with me! I like to take walks around the courthouse since it’s so pretty and close by, so we’ll do that as well. We also have a back patio that I can additionally let them run around in. Depending on your comfort levels and size of your pup, your pet can sleep in my bedroom (not in bed) or in the living room in front of our bedroom on a plush dog bed. ***A couple of side notes: 1. Let me know any restrictions your pet has around food, diets, allergies and treats. 2. We also have a crate, if that’s something you want/need for your pet. 3. Please wait for a confirmation from me regarding your booking. I do accept last minute requests but every now and then last minute obligations come up!
