House Sitting Garey

“Love that she was quick to respond and was able to fill in last minute. Meet and greet went well and we gave her all the info. Came home to a happy dog so they got along well during own time away. House was perfect with no surprises. I would trust her with our doggo again in the future.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic experience! Our dog sitter did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and cat in our home for the day. We felt completely comfortable knowing everything was in good hands. Our dogs were well cared for, and our home was just as we left it. Reliable, trustworthy, and professional! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Sam to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.”

“Alexis puppy-sat for us over the weekend and she was amazing! We have a high-energy, high demand puppy and Alexis made taking care of her look easy. She kept in touch and sent us pictures and videos that made us feel totally at ease while we were out. Plus our puppy adored Alexis and didn’t want her to leave by the end!”

“Felt comfortable having her in my home and taking care of my dog. She took her on lots of walks and stayed extra until I could get home.”

About: I don't have the right setup for doggy daycare/boarding yet, but I plan to build a set up for that soon! As of right now, I do drop in visits and house sitting including walks! (I used to work at a pet resort for animal boarding and daycare, I currently employed at a pet emergency hospital), I have experience in all sizes and ages of dogs. I have experience in aggressive and social dogs and know the importance of there body language. I am dependable, and I believe in clear communication and provide frequent updates to ensure that owners are completely comfortable knowing that their pets are safe and happy. I am a stay at home mom currently so any schedule can fit my daily routine! I can fulfill your animals needs to the extreme! The care of pets in both personal and client responsibilities tailored to the specific needs of each pet and its environment. For instance, if providing in-home pet care for clients, responsibilities may include feeding, providing fresh water, administering medication if necessary, grooming, exercising, and providing companionship. Additionally, tasks such as cleaning litter boxes for cats or cages also involves monitoring the pet's health and behavior for any signs of distress or illness and promptly notifying the owner or seeking veterinary care if needed. The level of care may also involve specific instructions provided by the pet owner regarding dietary restrictions, exercise routines, or any other special needs of the pet. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure the pet's physical and emotional well-being while providing peace of mind to the owner.

About: I have taken care of many family & friends dogs and cats (and other types of pets) over the years. I have never had an issue with even the unruly ones. I am able to gain an animals trust quickly and am intuitive on how to approach them & care for them. I have a special needs nephew that I am a Respite Careworker for, I help administer his medications and am confident I can administer meds to any animal as well. I have also been taking care of my disabled mom for the last few years and am a mother of 2 (new empty nester). I have a lot of patience and don't get upset with messes. Everything is washable in my opinion. Although I will keep your house as tidy as possible if I am House Sitting for you. I live in Santa Maria, but am available for pet/house sitting in any part of Santa Barbara or San Luis Counties depending on the day(s). I would consider traveling further on the weekends if I am able. I am a responsible & trustworthy person, who genuinely enjoys caring for others. I work from home on Mon & Fri, so I am only unavailable during the day on Tues/Wed/Thurs. I am able to care for animals in the morning before I leave for work and every evening. I recently lost my dog at the ripe old age of 17, I used to walk my dog every day, so I know all the good dog walking spots in the area. I love hiking as well, so if your dog is up for it, I am happy to take them hiking too. I work in conjunction with my partner who is home during the day, so if there is a need for more exercise, feedings or medication during the day, we can facilitate that. I enjoy the company of animals, so they would be included in everything I do, as much as possible. I used to take my dog everywhere with me. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, only because they are more comfortable there. My place is not very big, so it depends on how much space they are used to. I can sit 2-3 dogs at a time if they are not too big. I have room for a crate, but not more than one. I do have a is fenced in yard with a locked gate.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Sav received from Alicia! She was attentive, dependable, and followed every instruction we gave her. She took the time to make sure Sav was comfortable and having a good time. She gave him lots of belly rubs (which he loves), and played with him so he wouldn’t feel lonely while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good caring hands. We’re so grateful for her thoughtful care and would absolutely book her again!”

“Nate and Kate are fantastic. They stayed at our house for a week and took care of Kaley, our soft coated Wheaten terrier and Kiwi, our parrot. Kaley is getting older and is on meds. Nate and Kate made sure she was well taken care of. I highly recommend Nate and Kate.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love caring for them like they’re part of the family. I’ve helped watch over pets for friends and relatives whether it’s daily walks, feeding, giving fresh water, or lots of belly rubs!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always watched dogs for all my friends and family! I love having dogs around as it’s never a dull moment in the house! I currently work remote so I am always home and and ready to care for your fur babies! I currently work remote so I am home all day. My work schedule is 8am-5:30pm and I exercise by walking the riverbed by my house so it’s perfect for me and the pups! I have a fenced yard and a twelve year old beagle mix who loves to meet new friends! When I dog sit for friends or family, I set up a spot for them in my room and my pup in a separate room so they can have their space. I’m not a huge fan of leaving pups in the garage (unless requested) so they will always have a spot with me I their own bed!

“Anna was an excellent sitter for our large mastiff. Our dog was very relaxed and happy when we came home. She did a great job and definitely worth the money. We will hire her in the future for sure.”

About: Can’t wait to hang out with your pet. I’ll always make sure they have fun with me. I’d love dogs but I think it’s a big step and prefer to be a sitter for now It fits in because I have a lot of free time and I’d love to spend time with animals ! Also I really love that I can get out and exercise and I am adding that to my daily routine Making sure my home or clean and free of any harm to animals or any one really. I live near the beach. So it’s perfect for a walk and there is a dog park nearby

About: While going to college I walked approximately 10 dogs (individually) per month with occasional 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable with all size dogs; Chihuahua to Great Danes. If the dog likes to run, I’m up for that too. I like to be active and I know some dogs need a good run to get out their energy. I’m open to pet care. My house is pet friendly, and has a backyard enclosed with a 6 ft fence, gate that locks and a grassy area. I care for pets as if they were my own. I can give baths, make sure they are fed on time - including medication, and bathroom breaks, and most importantly walks or runs.

“Ashley is great. She was prompt, polite and accommodating. Our dog Frances loved her and obviously enjoyed playing with Ashley's mini aussie, she was tired and slept like a baby when she got home. We will use Ashley every time we come up to visit.”

John S.

“I was so happy when I got home from a long day away and found that my babies were so lovingly cared for by Laurie and Reese. Think Teddy found a great playmate with Reese, that when Laurie and Reese left he started barking at the door. My dog never barks, so I think a hi-five and honors go to this happy pair. Thanks again so much.👍”

“Karah was amazing! I was nervous to leave my dog alone with someone new for the first time and she made me feel so comfortable. My dog absolutely loved her!”
