About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from raising animals for FFA to training my own dogs and working at an animal shelter. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I treat every pet like family! I work Monday - Friday 7:30am to 4:30 pm I have an hour lunch and would love to take days off to help care for your furry baby’s. I plan to get more availability for the future. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always follow instructions closely, use secure leashes and gates, and keep a calm, watchful eye on every animal in my care. With years of hands-on experience—from shelter work to farm life—I know how to handle pets gently, responsibly, and with lots of love.

About: Animals are my Spirit Animals. I like animals more than most people. If a dog doesn't like you, I'm not sure I can like you. Most cats like me. All kidding aside, I am thoughtful, caring and connected to animals. I have had dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, fish, turtles, tortoises, chickens, ducks and frogs in my past. I currently have an 11 year old beagle that is my wingman. I have helped with senior dogs and cats. I have basic puppy training skills. And I have been a pet "first responder" to bobcat attacks in our area. I know the best places to walk dogs, the best ways to keep foul safe and the way to most animals heart. I look forward to helping you and your favorite pet enjoy vacations or a day away from your home. I am a yoga instructor and I have a cold pressed juice business I teach a couple of classes a day giving me plenty of time to spend time with your animals! I believe we can work together to create a safe, fun and loving environment for your pets whether I stay at your place with them or they need to come to my place we will work together to create the best situation possible for your furry, feathery, scaly or hairy family member while you are away.

About: As a dedicated and responsible animal lover, I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your furry family members. I share custody of a wonderful 5-year-old, and I rent a room in my home to a tenant who has a 12-year-old blind and deaf chihuahua and a sweet, friendly cat who stays out of the way. This diverse pet experience ensures I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of pet needs. I've been a mom to dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, from a teeny tiny 4lb chihuahua to a 140lb mastiff (who was hilariously scared of the chihuahua!). My heart is big, and I’m a sucker for all creatures. I volunteer at the animal shelter as often as possible, and I foster underage puppies and kittens for the local agency Spark Rescue until they are ready for adoption. With a flexible work schedule, I can easily accommodate your needs. I’m physically fit and active, enjoying hiking and beach outings, but I’m just as happy to chill if that’s what Fido or Fluffy prefers. As a homeowner, I can ensure a stable and safe environment for your pets. I am comfortable with special dietary needs and have experience with litters of puppies and elderly dog care. I’m not afraid to get dirty and have administered insulin shots to a diabetic cat, so I’m not squeamish about medical needs either. I promise to love your fur baby as much as you do! Currently, I work from home part-time, offering me full flexibility and availability to meet your needs with a little notice. I’m all about pets and snuggles, and I will always ensure that any special needs or requests you have are taken care of to the best of my ability! I work from home part-time, with my little one in school and shared custody, allowing me the flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs with a little notice. Whether it's an active day of play or a cozy snuggle session, I'm here to provide loving care for your furry friend. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, loving space with constant supervision and attention. At your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring comfort and consistency. I am experienced with special dietary needs, medical care, and providing a safe, engaging environment tailored to each pet's needs.

About: I’m a pet owner who has worked with Dozens of dogs and cats since the age of 10, Including Dogs of friends and neighbors, and have loved doing so every time. As a student, my schedule can differ, but I’m willing to properly communicate to make our schedules work and to prioritize you and your pet. From experience, I always approach an animal in a loving and respectful manner, keeping an eye out for potential threats to ensure the animals safety.

About: I've had the opportunity to take care of dogs and love them my whole life. I enjoy dogs of all ages and breeds, but do not have extensive experience with dogs with significant medical conditions. I work from home full-time, so I am able to provide care during the week without issue. If needed, I could also take my laptop and easily work from any location with good internet access. I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood in downtown Santa Barbara, in a stand-alone cottage with a fenced backyard. Just like with children, I defer to what works for you and your pet to give them as much of their normal routine as possible.

“Dayna was fantastic! I contacted her fairly last minute to see if she could walk my dog and she responded quickly and was incredibly helpful! My senior pup seemed to really like her as well.”

About: I love pets every since I was a kid I’ve always had one and taken good care for them because they mean soo much to me and will always be my number 1 friend! Dog sitting and care for pets will always have time for me in any routine that am in because of the passion and love I have for them. My favorite part of my schedule is taking the dogs out for a walk, hike, or play around the park, or take them out for runs. I care for them like any other human I feed, care, love, and adore them. I take them out 3 times a day one in the morning, afternoon, and at night to walk, or use the bathroom, or any other type of requirements needed.

About: I have been providing pet (dogs, cats, and small animals) and house sitting services in Santa Barbara for the past 5+ years and have worked with many breeds and ages, including senior dogs. I provide individualized and attentive care for your fur babies. I’m dedicated to ensuring your dogs wellbeing while you are away - that means attention, playtime, exercise, feeding, and practicing commands. This is my primary work and my schedule is dedicated first and foremost to pet care. I do not have any pets of my own and do not board more than one dog (or a preexisting pack of dogs) at a time. I am happy to crate your dog if your prefer. I do not have a yard but guarantee numerous walks of varying distance and length, depending on your dog”s needs.
