“This was my first time using rover and leaving my dog for day sitting. Last minute our sitter couldn’t watch our dog, so we brought her with us on our trip to Santa Barbara. We wanted to explore, but did not want to leave her in a motel room, so we looked for a doggie daycare. Honey was responsive and took our dog in last minute. Even on a holiday weekend. I was nervous about my dog having anxiety, but Honey was very friendly and communicated throughout the day to keep me posted about my dog’s day. She is excellent with animals and has a kind nature that dogs can sense. My dog was comfortable and she even got her to eat! Which is something my dog does not do when she’s away from home. Thank you Honey for opening your home to our Roxy.”
About: Hello, I'm Dorothy & I love animals! I have always had a deep connection with animals, so pet training has always come naturally to me. I grew up on a farm with dogs of all sizes. I pride myself on staying consistent with training, keeping pet parents updated on helpful tips to implement to improve any training goals. I love pets of all walks and specialize in training puppies or dogs with habits that need adjusting, and senior dog care and am comfortable with administering medication. I am the perfect fit for your pet sitting, walking, and house sitting needs. All animals large or small warms my heart, and I hope to meet you and your furry friends soon. I have my own transportation and open availability. Contact me today! I am available anytime on a daily or weekly basis, or for drop ins. Let me know what your needs are so we can get to booking! When caring for your pets, I practice safety measures by greeting your pet quietly and slowly so that we can get to know each other. I ensure that the leash and collar or harness are secure and come ready with a walking route. I practice safety in the home and will leave everything exactly as I found it! I am trustworthy and always available for updates about your fur babies.
“I can't recommend Sandy enough. We were in a bind needing a last-minute sitter, and she was incredibly responsive and flexible. She made the logistics simple. My fiancé had no trouble at all coordinating drop-off and pick-up. While we were away, she sent photo updates that showed our dog relaxed and happy. When we picked him up, he was clearly well-cared for and in great spirits. Sandy truly saved the day. Thank you!”
“Gio, our 4 month old puppy, had a great day with Ryan! Such a wonderful 1st experience being in this environment away from home. We will be back! Thank you Ryan! We appreciated you caring for Gio so well today.”
About: I work from home, so your dog is never alone for long. My fenced yard means safe outdoor play every day, and regular photo updates mean you'll actually be able to relax on your trip. I have a special needs dog of my own, so I have a particular soft spot for dogs that need a little extra care, but I'm equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and medication administration. I know exactly how much trust you're placing in me, and I don't take that lightly. Your dog gets a real home, real attention, and a lot of love. I work from home full time, which means your dog has company throughout the day rather than waiting for someone to come home. Walks, yard time, and cuddles fit naturally into my routine, I'm not squeezing pet care around a commute or office hours. Gladly have your pet a part of my day. My home is fully fenced, so outdoor time is always safe and supervised. Inside, dogs are welcome wherever they're most comfortable.. on the sofa, in the bedroom, wherever helps them settle in. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including crating if that's part of their dog's routine. I'll always ask about your dog's habits, triggers, and preferences before your stay so there are no surprises for either of us.
About: I have been around and cared for dogs since I was in middle school. I have a deep care for dogs and believe giving them the absolute best life while they are with us is the only way to engage with them. I have a knack for training, it somewhat comes natural to me and I have the patience for it. Im happy to work with your dog to either reinforce or teach commands/tricks. Recently, I left my corporate job. I am taking time off to assess my next career move. Which means I have wide open flexibility and need to take walks to keep thinking. What a better way to do that than to have a walking companion! I do not have pets which means all of my attention goes to yours! There are two couches, a bed and a patio for your babe to enjoy. I am available around the clock to play, walk, teach.
About: I watch Chomsky every day and he’s my boy. I cared for Bella, a Border Collie during grad school for three years. Loved her too. I am an artist doing a self-guided residency in Santa Barbara. I care for Chomsky, a cute Shi Tzu mix. He is the most chill. I can watch your doggie or kitty while working from home. We will also go for walks and play/ throw ball if they want to.
“Jacob and his wife are wonderful to work with. They cared for our Bella, and sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. This is our 2nd time working together and we highly recommend them!”
About: I grew up with dogs, love taking care of them and love to walk for hours! I am offering this service until I get a dog of my own :) I work from home with flexibility in my schedule. I love to get out for breaks during the day and live close to a dog park. I have a gated outdoor space and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I also cover up my furniture so that the dogs can go on the couch.
“Lauren was so great to work with...she responded to the daycare request promptly and immediately jumped into asking lots of questions around Remys care. I knew he'd be in good hands. Thank you for the care Lauren...”
“Another Great experience with Haven. Easy pick up and drop off, she updated me throughout the day and sent photos from their adventures! My pup was exhausted which only makes the Rest of my day easier as well. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a caretaker for your doggo and loom forward to scheduling again!”
“JP was great! We visited Santa Barbara with our lab. For a day with dog-unfriendly activities, we booked JP's service. JP took our lab to a dog park in the morning and then walked her in the afternoon. It was a fun day. Would highly recommend JP!”
About: My name is Sara and I have been caring for dogs actively for about 14 years, but have been loving them for 29. I graduated from Chico State with a healthcare administration degree back in 2016, but work selling security software. Working from home allows me the privilege of being a full-time companion to your cherished pup! They'll have the comfort of a familiar environment and a loving human presence throughout the day. Being punctual and reliable is second nature to me. You can count on me to adhere to schedules and ensure your pup's routine is maintained seamlessly. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to entrust your dog to someone new. That's why I'm committed to open communication, providing regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands. In my home, your fur baby will find companionship in my own adorable Sheepadoodle, June. She's not just a pet, but a treasured member of our family. We understand the importance of finding trustworthy hands for our furry family members, and rest assured, your dog will be treated with the same love and care as June. We share our space with two feline friends, Martini and Malone. They're seasoned experts in coexisting with dogs, ensuring a harmonious environment for all our four-legged guests. For cat owners: As a self-appointed cat lady, my passion for these graceful creatures knows no bounds. With two of my own, and dreams of having a whole pride (if my husband would allow it!), you can trust that your cats will be in the hands of someone who adores them as much as you do. While I currently have two cherished cats, I've had the pleasure of fostering numerous kittens through CFFR. Fostering cats has not only expanded my knowledge but also my love for cats. I understand the unique needs and temperaments that cats can have, and I'm committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for every feline friend that enters my care. No matter your cat's quirks, I'm equipped to provide them with the attention and care they need. Administering medicine to our feline friends can be a daunting task, but it's one I'm more than comfortable with. I have experience in ensuring your cat receives their medication in a stress-free and gentle manner. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Feel free to reach out, and let's arrange a meet-and-greet to see if we're the perfect match for your beloved pets! Caring for pets is not just a hobby, but an integral part of my daily life. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I have the privilege of being with your baby full-time. This means they'll have my undivided attention, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved throughout the day. Regular feeding schedules, exercise routines, and ample cuddle time are all seamlessly integrated into our day. Additionally, my experience as a foster parent for CFFR has further enriched my understanding of various pet needs and behaviors. This means I'm adept at catering to individual quirks and preferences, ensuring your pet feels safe and content during their stay with me. In case any special care is required, such as administering medication, you can trust that I have the expertise to handle it with care and patience. Ultimately, pet care is not just a task, but a genuine passion of mine. Your pet will not only receive essential care but also the love and attention they deserve, making them feel right at home. When your cherished pet stays with me, they become a part of our family. They'll enjoy a cozy and stimulating environment filled with comfortable spots for relaxation and play. Feeding schedules are strictly adhered to, and fresh water is always available. Regular potty breaks and outdoor adventures in a secure, pet-friendly space are also on the agenda. For any special requirements, such as medication administration or specific dietary needs, you can trust that I'll handle them with precision and care. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my top priorities.
“Amazing experience for Joseph caring for my dogs. He gave exceptional attention to both dogs, keeping my active dog engaged all day. Parking is tight. Recommend texting him 15 minutes before arrival to ensure smooth entry. I’ll definitely use his services again when in the area. Highly recommend.”
“Rebecca is wonderful! She took great care of JJ (my pup) and made me comfortable and happy to have a happy place for him to stay. I have a 110-120 lb pup that I have not left with anyone other than family and close friend since his sister passed away, and Rebecca made both me and JJ feel comfortable right away. She asked great questions, let JJ explore his new surroundings, had wonderful, calm energy, was thoughtful about helping JJ have a routine similar to his usual, and sent lots of pictures and notes during the day so I could see how he was doing. Her place is set up well for a dog, with a fenced yard and ability to be inside and outside. I highly recommend Rebecca, and hope JJ can stay with her again next time I need a sitter.”

Angelin was so great with my goofy but super anxious dog Carl. I was worried about leaving him at a new place with a new person, but when we met Angelin, I felt totally comfortable about it. She has the most warm, calm energy and Carl was totally happy to hang out with her. She’s also really communicative and easy to work with. We had a great experience and will definitely reach out to her in the future.
I can't recommend Sandy enough. We were in a bind needing a last-minute sitter, and she was incredibly responsive and flexible. She made the logistics simple. My fiancé had no trouble at all coordinating drop-off and pick-up. While we were away, she sent photo updates that showed our dog relaxed and happy. When we picked him up, he was clearly well-cared for and in great spirits. Sandy truly saved the day. Thank you!
Your pup will be in great hands with Ryan! We loved seeing updates throughout the day of our dog having fun with other dogs in the backyard. It was also great to know there are multiple outdoor and indoor areas if the dogs needed space from each other. We were relaxed because we knew she was being well cared for and she came home happy and tired after a big day of fun.
I’m so grateful for Vivian & Taylor helping me out with Max. And it was a huge plus that my dog got to have a play date with Daisy! Communication was easy and clear. I had to make a last minute modification in my schedule & they were accommodating. They asked if Max had any special medical needs & let me see their home & backyard. I loved the updates—they sent photos & videos and I could tell Max was truly having a blast. I would highly recommend & would definitely book again!
This was our first time using Rover and we were a little hesitant about the whole process especially since our fur baby is timid and sometimes anxious. However, Saychelle was very sweet, communicative, and accommodating and quickly put me at ease. From the moment my husband dropped her off, we knew she was the perfect fit. If we are ever in the Santa Barbara area again, Saychelle will be our go to dog sitter.
Joshua is super friendly and even offered us tips on what to do in Santa Barbara, and which restaurants were dog friendly. He was very good with our dog Cocoa, and I don't think she even noticed that we were gone! We really appreciated Joshua's flexibility in terms of timing for the doggy daycare and would use him again if we were back in Santa Barbara.
Tonka often gets nervous around new people, but when meeting Tory, she immediately walked up to her for pets, heading straight up the stairs and into Tory's apartment. We could tell from all of the photos Tory shared that Tonka was super happy and content in her company. We'd have no hesitation booking Tory again.
