Jeanine was wonderful. Very friendly, great with our dog and and great with us. Our pup frequently get nervous about being left behind, or getting to know other dogs, and by the time we got there for pick up the next day, our dog was comfortable with Jeanine's dogs and was happy to be there. We have already booked a second stay. Thanks Jeanine!

Honey took fantastic care of our pups. She took time to win the trust of our anxious mastiff/GSD mix and continued to teach our 6mo puppy his manners. From our first conversation, it was evident that she had an excellent understanding of dog behavior and we appreciated that she asked us to write up a document outlining the cues our dogs understood and what we were trying to teach them, so that she could continue their training. The pups had an excellent time and were obviously at ease. We've already rebooked :-)

About: I have been around and cared for dogs since I was in middle school. I have a deep care for dogs and believe giving them the absolute best life while they are with us is the only way to engage with them. I have a knack for training, it somewhat comes natural to me and I have the patience for it. Im happy to work with your dog to either reinforce or teach commands/tricks. Recently, I left my corporate job. I am taking time off to assess my next career move. Which means I have wide open flexibility and need to take walks to keep thinking. What a better way to do that than to have a walking companion! I do not have pets which means all of my attention goes to yours! There are two couches, a bed and a patio for your babe to enjoy. I am available around the clock to play, walk, teach.

About: I work from home, so your dog is never alone for long. My fenced yard means safe outdoor play every day, and regular photo updates mean you'll actually be able to relax on your trip. I have a special needs dog of my own, so I have a particular soft spot for dogs that need a little extra care, but I'm equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and medication administration. I know exactly how much trust you're placing in me, and I don't take that lightly. Your dog gets a real home, real attention, and a lot of love. I work from home full time, which means your dog has company throughout the day rather than waiting for someone to come home. Walks, yard time, and cuddles fit naturally into my routine, I'm not squeezing pet care around a commute or office hours. Gladly have your pet a part of my day. My home is fully fenced, so outdoor time is always safe and supervised. Inside, dogs are welcome wherever they're most comfortable.. on the sofa, in the bedroom, wherever helps them settle in. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including crating if that's part of their dog's routine. I'll always ask about your dog's habits, triggers, and preferences before your stay so there are no surprises for either of us.

About: I'm a 26 year old working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have experience taking care of and training younger dogs and have a young dog myself. I love all kinds of dogs and will take care of your pets like I would my own. I'm working part time so I have varying schedules week to week with lots of time to take care of your pet! I'm always available all day Friday and Saturday morning. I frequently take long walks so your dog will have consistent exercise and frequent potty breaks. I have a private fenced in yard and a very friendly dog that loves playing with other dogs! I can easily crate your dog at night depending on what you prefer. I will follow your dog's routine feeding and care so they are happy and feel at home!

About: I watch Chomsky every day and he’s my boy. I cared for Bella, a Border Collie during grad school for three years. Loved her too. I am an artist doing a self-guided residency in Santa Barbara. I care for Chomsky, a cute Shi Tzu mix. He is the most chill. I can watch your doggie or kitty while working from home. We will also go for walks and play/ throw ball if they want to.

If I could leave more than 5 stars I would! We left our dog with Lynn and Marty for 11 nights. They are both the most caring and considerate couple and it is obvious how much they love dogs. Our lab was so well cared for and treated like part of their family while we were gone. We received daily photos of their adventures together and you could tell how comofortable and happy our dog was. They have an amazing backyard that our lab loved, especially swimming in the pool! We knew our dog was in such good hands with Lynn and Marty, making it that much easier to relax and enjoy our trip. I know our pup would love to stay with them again! Thank you Lynn and Marty!

We were so lucky to have met Kylie and glad that our two miniature poodles were able to stay with her. Both dogs were treated so well and looked so happy in the pictures Kylie sent us while we were gone. Kylie made everything very easy and she gave us a lot of confidence that our dogs were in the right place. Thank you, Kylie, for being so great to us and them, we would love to do this again!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Lauren! Our 8 year-old Golden was so clearly well cared for and happy during her stay with their younger Phoebe. Lauren was responsive, attentive, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It’s obvious she truly loves dogs and treats them like their own. We look forward to using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog sitter.

We were looking for a dog sitter on a visit to SB and were thrilled to see Eve on Rover. We knew Eve from many years ago and knew that we could trust her to care for our dog, Daphne. Daphne is not a beginner dog. She is a guarding/working breed mix. Once you earn her trust, she is an absolute sweetheart. But, you have to do the work to earn her trust. We scheduled a meet & greet with Eve. She accommodated us rescheduling it after Daphne got skunked, twice, on our trip. At the meet & greet, Eve took time to sit down with us, understand Daphne, give her time to adjust, feed her treats, take her for a walk, hang out with her for several hours while we left for dinner, and ultimately earn her trust. Daphne stayed with Eve for three days over Labor Day weekend. She had a great time. Eve sent regular photo updates. Daphne loved playing with Eve's dog, Penny. And, when we came to pick her up, Daphne seemed so happy and at ease. Eve gets our highest recommendation and I hope that Daphne will get the opportunity to visit on future SB trips.

Erika took excellent care of our senior dog, who is 19 years old. She had a video meeting with us beforehand and understood his needs. She was very communicative through the Rover app before and during the boarding ,and sent us photos and videos of our dog. We were worry free attending an event in Santa Barbara, because we knew our dog was in good hands with Erika. We highly recommend Erika!
