Cat Sitting Goleta

About: I am studying biology at UC Santa Barbara with a goal of pursuing a career in Veterinary Medicine. I have adored animals for as long as I can remember, with countless experiences caring for and rescuing cats and dogs. My passion- not only for pet happiness & wellbeing, but also the safety and health of animals, will hopefully make me a perfect match for you and your pet! I am currently a university student with a pretty flexible schedule & long gaps between classes so that I can watch your pets! I do not have many classes Thursday-Friday and am available during weekends for check-ins or overnight visits. I love to get to know your animals, and I enjoy being there to keep them company while you are away! I will always make sure your pet is safe and happy, whether they want to play, run around, cuddle, go on walks, or just hang out.

About: Hi there! I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My parents weren't able to be the primary caregivers for our family dog and I was thrilled to take the lead anyway. I would feed, walk, bathe, and groom our first dog and I've never been without a dog in the past three decades. Now today I have an active 10 year old Chihuahua/Pomeranian named Tommy and a 15 year old Pomeranian named Stella, so I'm especially comfortable with small breeds and senior dogs who need a slower pace or just more patience in general. But I'm just as happy with dogs of most sizes and energy levels. I also have experience with administering medication of all types - liquid, pills, and eye drops. My schedule is flexible because I'm self employed. I can work around early mornings, midday drop ins, evenings, or last minute requests. Every walk and visit comes with an update and pics. I know how reassuring it is to get these things when someone else is caring for your sweet pup. I treat every dog the way I'd want my own treated: on time, attentive and loving, and never rushed. I look forward to meeting your pup(s) and giving you the help you need! My schedule is super flexible. I'm self employed, married no kids, and usually up by 8 am most days although I can plan to be up earlier when needed. All this said to assure you I have ample time to walk and play with your pups, and no distractions that would divert my attention either. I'm pretty active and regularly go on runs and hikes in addition to regular walks with my own pups. I can keep up with your pups, no problem. As for drop ins, I'm respectful of personal space and you can trust me to be in your home. Please share anything specific your pups needs or may want during a visit and I'll be happy to help (within reason of course).

“Madeline was very communicative, nice and she followed our instructions well. She played with our cat Pacha and he had a blast! We would definitely book with Madeline again!”

“Hanna was the prefect cat sitter for our Luna. Luna is rather shy and usually does not come out for visitors. Hanna was very patient and slowly earned her trust. I appreciate Hanna's constant communication and looked forward to updates and pictures each visit. It was such a relief to know Luna was in good care while we were away. I highly recommend Hanna for cat care.”

About: Intuitive and kind. I take care of your pet like they are my own. Good at developing report with even timid or elder pets. Experienced with special diets (including raw) and requests. I take classes online so I study wherever I'm at. Listening to lectures more often than reading them so I can still give attention to pets. I work part time with a flexible schedule. I try to stick to the routine of the pet per the pet's owner. I will coordinate and communicate with the pets vet as well.

About: I've loved animals for forever and now that I'm in college miss spending time with them! I've had dogs all my life and have petsit for many family members and friends with all sorts of animals. Back home in Colorado I volunteered for my local animal shelter to walk dogs and contributed over 100 hours of my time in my senior year. I would love to be a part of your furry loved one's life! I am currently a college student at UCSB and work part-time so I have a very flexible schedule throughout the weekdays meaning I can provide care at pretty much any time! I am very detail oriented and carefully follow all instructions for your home and pet, so you don't have anything to worry about when you are away!

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I volunteered as a dog walker at the Humane Society for four years, was the primary caretaker for my family dog throughout middle school and high school, and have dog-sat for friends and neighbors many times. I also fostered kittens through my local shelter for several years. Now that I’m not in a position to have pets of my own, I’d love to spend more time with animals and give yours the same love, attention, and care I’d give my own! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of free afternoons during the week and full days open on the weekends for caring for your furry babies! I know every animal has their own personality and needs, so I’ll take the time to understand their routine, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to give pets whatever balance of play, exercise, affection, and space they need to feel comfortable. Thanks to my shelter and fostering experience and the timid temperament of my childhood dog, I am comfortable caring for shy or nervous pets who need some extra sensitivity or patience for developing trust. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I’d treat my own, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands.

“Amber was very communicative which I appreciated”

“Beryl watched our cat over a long weekend when my regular sitter was not avilable. She followed all instructions, sent photos, and checked in when appropriate. She even took time to play with and have some lap time with our cat. I would use her again!”

“Basilia just cared for my cat Luna while I was away on vacation and she did a fantastic job. I loved the photos and the notecard updates. She even brought a laser pointer over to play when I informed her the batteries in mine had run out the day before I was set to leave. I would recommend her great care and look forward to booking her again in the future.”

I have hands-on experience caring for pets’ daily needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection Pet care fits easily into my routine.

“Sophia made sure my cat was cared for and fed during her drop-ins while I was away. She also was detailed in her daily updates and seems to truly care for animals. However, I did come home to find that his water fountain was empty, and it hadn’t been refilled during any of the four visits. We also had a bit of a miscommunication regarding timing, and I would have appreciated more transparency about when the drop-ins would take place. That said, she did provide the care she was paid for, and I recognize that some of these mix-ups may have been due to a lack of instructions on my end. Overall, I appreciate her help while I was away!”
