About: Hello! I’m Jess, and I absolutely love each and every dog I meet! They ALL deserve as much love, care, and attention as we can possibly give them. 😀 My experience with dogs is broad and diverse: in addition to my years of dog sitting experience, I’ve raised my own happy and healthy dogs from puppyhood to the end of life and all kinds of circumstances in between; I’ve had extensive experience with dogs who have special needs, and I’ve successfully worked through a variety of behavioral challenges with rescue dogs. Your baby is in good and loving hands! I work from home, so I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your dog’s needs and give them LOTS of love and attention throughout the whole day! I am totally devoted to the animals in my care, and I build my schedule around their needs. My style with pets is warm, loving, affectionate, and relies on positive reinforcement, praise, and mutual trust rather than punishment. My goal is to create a comfortable, secure environment for each dog so they can absorb and emit a similar sense of ease in the world.

“Heather was a professional, attentive, warm and friendly dog sitter. Our dog bonded with her immediately and did not have any problems being left alone with her. Heather asked all the right questions to understand our dog and her needs and was a great communicator both prior and during her dog sitting time. Without a doubt, we would use Heather's services again when the need arises. We highly recommend her!”

“Brianna is so loving and wonderful with my 2 dogs! We have a senior & a 2 year old and she gives each one the special attention they deserve and learned their needs quick and easily. Communication is great, I would trust her with any and all future pets we get.”

“Vanessa has been a wonderful friend to me and Odyn (Siberian Husky). Anytime I need someone to check in on him, or if I’m out of town and need a pet sitter; Vanessa has always opened her home to him. I can say that Odyn is definitely a fan of her, and I am too.”

“Alex is lovely - she pitched in to help out when our regular walker went out of town and Baxter fell in love immediately. Totally trustworthy, on time and so sweet with my little guy. Will absolutely book her again!”

“Kim is a HUGE animal lover. She treats my dog like it is her own; with lots of love, kisses, snuggling and playing in the outdoors. I've observed her take exquisite care of the farm animals she is responsible for. Each chicken and duck has a name and she cares for them so that they feel cared for and safe.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals most of my life. I have animal sat for many family friends and neighbors. I am happy to care for animals at any age. I can go on long walks with them, while giving them lots of love. I have a dog myself and love going on walks on the beach with her :) I am a college student currently. My schedule depends on my classes at school, but I am available to help when I’m not at school. I make sure my dog gets lots of cuddles and love! We love going on walks and playing fetch. I also love hanging out with cats, on there own time ;) I am very responsible and am able to take care of your animals and house excellently.

“Ashley was prompt to responded and took care of Willow in a very caring and professional manner. Will definitely use her services again!”

“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.”

“Perla is great! She really goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is taken care of. I definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

“Ellen is so good to our dog! She definitely has a way with pets.”

“Our dog fell in love with Shaundra, and looked forward to his walks with her every morning. Otis was well cared for, and she went the extra mile and also helped administer some medicine for him that was provided. We will definitely work with Shaundra again in the future!”

“Lisa is very caring and responsible towards pets. She treats them as her very own, with so much love. She’s great and will exceed all expectations.”

About: Hello fellow dog lovers, We are a friendly, active, outdoorsy couple in our late thirties, and we LOVE dogs. We are the go-to dog watchers for many clients and close friends, and in October 2019, we rescued a then two-year-old male German Shepherd Australian cattle dog mix, Wesley, who is just as lovable as can be. We lived in South Lake Tahoe, CA, for fourteen years and just recently moved to the Santa Barbara area so that I could begin a PhD in English at UCSB. We are available right now for dog walking and dog watching at clients’ homes. Ryan and I work most days from home, which means your dog will NOT be left home alone for most of the day. Ryan and I love to hike, mountain bike, run, and hang out at dog beaches. All of these activities will be available to your dog. We have a passion for dog care that is like no other in this town. Your dog will not regret being in our care! Sincerely, Mary and Ryan I work remotely from home, so I will be home all day to give your pup timely meals, plenty of potty breaks, and adequate exercise. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed when I leave the house for errands. I work part-time on weekdays and have plenty of time to play with your pup. I do not work on the weekends, so my schedule is wide open then. I follow client’s directions and guidance when caring for pets. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment for your pooch that will make them feel comfortable.

“I have two English Mastiffs that are usually wary of strangers (it's in their nature). Macy befriended them immediately and it was immediately evident that she is a genuine dog lover. I don't think they wanted to come home! I would 100% recommend Macy for any dog owner and will utilize her for all my future dog sitting needs.”
