Cat Sitting in Hope Ranch

“Kathleen was super easy to communicate with and responsive. She jumped in to help us on very short notice when other cat care plans fell through. We felt comfortable knowing she had everything taken care of, and her daily check-ins were welcome reassurance that all was well while we were away.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, back home I have four dogs, one beagle, one husky, one labrador and one border collie so I know how to take care of different breeds. I've also had my neighbors, friends and cousins rely on me to care for their dogs, feed them, take them on walks and play with them. I really love dogs and I miss my dogs every single day! I am a full time student but I have a flexible schedule. I am available Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays on the mornings from 6-10 and after 3pm, and open availability whole weekend! I am always on the look out for them and take them on walks/play with them. I can crate them if needed and also feed/take medicine if needed.

“We were so pleased with the care our rather old, rather shy cat received from Crispin. And, to my amazement-the kitty area was as clean as I left it. Crispin, both kitty and I thank you!”

About: I have over 15 years of experience taking care of our furry little friends ranging from fresh out the womb puppies to senior dogs needing insulin shots. I’ve done it all and I’ve seen it all. However, I go at the pace of your requests. Putting you and your best friend first. my weekly schedule consists of work Monday and Tuesday from 8-1 PM. The other days I’m very flexible. Please note if you book with me on Mon/Tues I am only available outside of 8-1 PM for drop off requests. I abide by all the rules given by the client pertaining to their home. I am respectful, clean, and organized. I take great pride in my services and will make sure I meet the client and the pup’s needs! There are no dogs in my home. I live in a two floor townhome with one other person.

About: I have substantial experience with the dog world. I’ve volunteered walking and socializing dogs at the Milo Foundation, I’ve trained my own dog to an advanced level and even ran a small business helping others train their pups! I am a college student looking for any opportunity to spend with dogs! I have a dog at home who I miss very much, and would love to get outside and share my love with other pups while I’m in Santa Barbara! It is important to pay attention to each pet and cater to their needs. Whether that be extra play time or simply soaking up the sun! Additionally time outside is the best time spent!

“Benjamin has been a life saver! My kitten needs daily pills and injections and he has been great with her! Luckily he does all the hard work and somehow gets the pills in her with little difficulty (except when she manages to spit them out...). Highly recommend!”

“Anna was very kind and patient with my senior dog, Nuni. She was on time and sent pictures and updates during their time together. I will definitely call Anna again when I need someone to care for Nuni in my absence.”

“Thanks Jessie for another great care taking of our kitties, Zack and Zoe. The videos you send are reassuring that they are being well cared for by you. We really appreciate you! And, our kitties do too!!”

“I am thrilled to provide a testimonial for Charlie, an incredible pet sitter who has consistently gone above and beyond in caring for my beloved furry friends. Charlie's dedication, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals makes her an outstanding caregiver. Charlie's attention to detail and commitment to the safety and well-being of my pets have always impressed me. Whether it's meticulously following dietary requirements, administering medications, or ensuring a secure environment, Charlie's professionalism and responsibility shine through. I have complete peace of mind knowing that my pets are in Charlie's capable hands. What truly sets Charlie apart is her ability to connect with animals on a profound level. It's evident that she genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and understand their individual needs. Charlie’s patience, kindness, and gentle demeanor instantly put my pets at ease, creating a trusting bond that is invaluable. Charlie's dedication to providing affection, playtime, and enrichment activities truly enriches the lives of my pets when I'm away.

“I have known Stephanie since I was 16. She is great around animals and has four cats of her own. She is conscientious and takes care of pets like there were her own. She is wonderful around animals – she also volunteers at the cat shelter. She loves dogs and cats. She loves the social interaction of walking a dog. I know Stephanie would be a good companion for dogs or cats.”

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats since I was born, ranging from sleepy cats to 120 pound dogs. I'm experienced in dog walking and dog/cat sitting. It makes my day to take care of your pets, and I understand they are a top priority! As a college student, I'm busy, however in my day to day life I have gaps in my schedule that would be perfectly filled with dog walks, and check-ins for any pets in need! When I care for pets in client's homes, I make sure I keep doors closed and locked, and I leave pets with plenty of water/any food needed. I also send updates, photos, and summaries of pets to clients. I care for pets with all of my heart, and treat them with kindness, and I follow any specific care instruction given to me by clients.

“Dafne cuido a mi perrita por muchos años cuando yo viajaba más amor, cuidado y dedicación por los perritos lo tiene ella. 100% recomendada totalmente.”

“Very conscientious and thrifty. She went the extra mile and treated our pets as her own. She’s the first person I’ll contact if we ever need a sitter again.”

“Jessica always takes care of my dogs when I need to go out of town or when I am unable to check on my dogs during the day. She always does a great job and I know my dogs are safe and happy with her. It gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend Jessica for taking care of your furry family members!!”

About: We live with our pup Stella and 3 bunnies. Our kids, age 10 and 12, love animals and are accustomed to helping dogs feel comfortable in a new place. Stella loves having other dogs to play with and snuggle with but also respects the space of dogs who are more solitary. Though Rover doesn't list rabbit/gerbil/guinea pig care, that is something we are experienced with and you can select “dog visit” for that. We also have cat care experience from fostering kittens. On a typical day someone is always at home. Our walks are usually on More Mesa but we also love hikes and beach walks! For tiny dogs we’re happy to limit the walks to our neighborhood for safety. Our pets are our family and safety is #1. We understand the level of trust you put in someone to have them cared for while you’re away.

“Both my dogs love Courtney! I am always at ease about my puppies whenever she is there watching them. I occasionally need to leave town for work for a week or two and knowing Cortney is around to take care of my dogs gives me complete peace of mind. 10/10!”

“Judith is absolutely fantastic with pets! She has been an amazing caregiver to our dog, treating him like her own. She takes him on regular walks, ensures he’s well-fed, and is super mindful about what he can and can’t eat. Judith is incredibly responsible, always making sure he’s safe, happy, and loved. You can tell how much she genuinely cares about animals, and they seem to love her right back! I can’t think of anyone more trustworthy or loving to care for your furry family members. Highly recommend Judith for anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”

“She is a very trustworthy person and loves dogs and cats. Incredibly, she has a special connection with doggies!! Very patient and clean as well.”

“Debra has watched my dog Pasha on a number of occasions, including for several weeks at a time! She cares for him like he is her own, and he is always extra enthusiastic when he sees her! Debra is a reliable pet-sitter who truly cares about and loves your pets. She is easy to communicate with, and very accommodating of special requests. Highly recommend!”

“Ajna was great, she was very easy to communicate with and she took great care of the kitties + sent photos daily. I could tell my cats really enjoyed her company. Thanks Ajna! Would definitely book her again :)”
