“Gail was wonderful with my dog for the day! She’s kind, easy to talk to, and made sure everything went smoothly. Even though it was just for a short time, I felt comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. I’d happily reach out to her again when I need help”

About: I never really had to market my pet sitting services, word just got around town! Before I knew it I was taking care of friends’, family’s, and even strangers’ pets (cats and dogs). I love keeping people’s furry friends happy and not missing their family too much! I’m currently a college student at UCSB, looking to continue my pet services! I’d love to be able to hang out with your pets and enjoy some beautiful fresh air and sun with them! I don’t have any other pets so yours would be my priority. While I do have school 4 days a week, I’m always available in the afternoon to do drop-ins or walks. When doing drop-ins or walks, I want to be very respectful of your space and your wishes! Making sure you are comfortable and happy is just as important to me as your animals having a fun time!

“We are from out of the area but going to a concert a The Bowl. Last minute, we decided to find a babysitter for our very busy Portuguese Water Dog. Ryan accommodated both us and our dog in every way possible. His communication was outstanding and his love for dogs and their happiness was a dream for us. I would not hesitate to have Leo over there again. He lives in a very convenient location, right in Santa Barbara and his home was safe and secure. Thank you Ryan. We all hope to see you again soon. Thank you!”


“Eve was amazing with Henry! I always get a little nervous leaving him with someone new, but Eve was incredibly responsive, caring, and attentive. She clearly took great care of him, and he seemed happy and well looked after when I picked him up. I truly appreciated the peace of mind and will definitely book with her again!”


“Lynn and Marty were so kind to watch my dog Rocket for the day, even though their wonderful dog, Jayce, had recently passed away. They communicated well with me in advance about the situation, and gave Rocket so much love and attention during her visit. This was Rocket's second time staying at Lynn & Marty's little slice of doggy paradise, and it won't be her last!”


About: I worked summers for 4 years at a pet groomer's where I washed, dried, groomed, and transported dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also worked as a pet sitter/dog walker for Sitter4Paws, where I walked, fed, cleaned, played with, administered medications, and provided care to dogs. These dogs ranged from puppies to seniors, dogs with medical needs, timid, shy, and stand-offish dogs. I have experience with/walking groups of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I also own a big 90 lb labradoodle who is 11, so I feel very comfortable handling bigger dogs as well! I'm currently a full-time student at UCSB! Aside from my classes, I have a show at the university radio station, KCSB-FM, and occasionally do engineering gigs there for live performances. This leaves me with a lot of free time to take care of your pets! I'm a double major and have held part-time jobs throughout college; therefore, managing my time is no problem at all! I live in a studio apartment across from a park with lots of grass! I have no problem working within whatever confines are needed for your pet, such as potty breaks or preferred sleeping arrangements. I'm able to crate your pets if desired and feel comfortable working however is most desirable to you and your furry friend!

“Jessie does an amazing job with my puppy Nala! She is super communicative and I love all the pictures and videos she sends. Nala is always excited to see her and always has the best time! Would definitely recommend her for your pup :)”


About: I’ve owned, fostered & rescued pets my whole life. We lost our 17yo pup and we’re ready to love on someone else’s fur babies with all the love we’re missing. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs or special needs dogs and also we only have 1 dog in our home at a time so that they get 100% of our attention! My husband and I both work from home. Our son lives at home and attends UCSB. I am the person in charge of your pet’s care but I wanted you to know who is also on the property. We are all animal lovers and have had years of experience with dog walks, dog play, cuddles, giving meds, doggie accidents, specific feedings, doggie diapers and general overall care and love. We have a completely fenced in yard -dogs in our care have access to many inside and outside areas. We live in a very safe and quiet cul de sac and when we take dogs for a walk in our neighborhood many treats are given at various neighbor’s homes. Also, your dog will pretty much never be left alone. Even if I have to run a quick errand I would only do so when my husband or son is at home with the dog.

“So thankful for Kate taking care of our pup! This was our first time doing doggy daycare with our rescue pup and we were thankful for the updates for the few hours we were gone and how thorough she was in making sure our pup was safe and comfortable.”

Cara O.
“Cara has a warm and special way with dogs. I needed a dog sitter for my 2 English Labradors while I traveled for 10 days. Just before I was ready to leave, my best boy Ben developed an eye infection. I was concerned about his care since the vet prescribed an ointment to be put in his eye and he did not like this. I thought of Cara and explained the situation. She agreed to care for him, and when she came to get him, she showed me an easy way to administer the ointment without complaint from Ben. It was amazing!! Both my dogs were happy and healthy dog when I returned. Cara is calm, caring and skilled with animals. I would recommend her to care for your special Pet and mine going forward.”
