“Cheryl is a true dog professional. I have performance dogs and up until now have only felt safe having their trainer care for them. Cheryl figured out my dogs personalities in no time and defiantly gained their respect and love. I feel 100 % that my dogs are safe in Cheryl's care.”
“Mike was great! We had never used Rover (or any dog walking app before!) so we were a little nervous. Mike helped put us at ease. Enzo loved Mike! I highly recommend him.”
About: Hello! I’m Kelli, and I’ve been taking care of animals friends, family, and even my job for as long as I can remember! I have a lot of animal care experience - everything from cats and dogs to large farm and zoo animals - so I know how to handle pets of any size! I’m looking for a way to make some extra money when I’m not working, so I hope you’ll trust me to take your fur baby! I am a zookeeper at the Santa Barbara Zoo, so animal care is my entire job. I pride myself on high levels of attention, safety, and love that I provide to all the animals around me! I am a very vigilant sitter, and I promise to take the very best care of your pet while out and about. If you have any special requests or questions, please feel free to reach out.
“Christian is super nice--punctual and responsive to questions or requests. Our Golden Retriever jumps for joy when he arrives for a walk. Christian has been giving our dog a very active walk and adventure. We are extremely pleased with his work and hope to work with him frequently in the future.”
About: New to Santa Barbara and open to one time/reoccurring clients! I've been around and owned dogs/cats/lizards/bunnies/horses my whole life. I have 4 years of experience as a dog handler at doggy daycares in Arizona and most recently Chicago. Through my experience, I can confidently say I can follow feeding routines, administer medication, monitor dogs' behavior, and follow proper leashing procedures. I have worked with dogs under 10 lbs up to 150+. I have worked with high-anxiety, reactive and special needs dogs and can assure you I have all the patience in the world to insure the comfort and safety of your pet. I have a 1.5year old German Shepherd who has vastly expanded my skills in dog handling and training. At my most recent job one of my key roles was guiding puppies and adolescents through social interactions as well as practicing being on a leash. I’m happy to work on leash manners with dogs of any age! I am on Rover full time at the moment so I have all the time in the world for your furry friends! I do have my own dog and 2 cats so I’m not currently available for any over night stays. I have my own car and live close to down town so same day bookings are no problem! I am a strong believer in leaving a place better than you found it. I can assure you that safety, trust, ( and fun of course!) are my top priorities. I am very precise when following instructions and caregiving needs. My relationship with your furry friend is just as important to me as the relationship I have with you! I will be sure to have clear and consistent communication with you throughout any booking. I also love love love getting good pictures of pups and will be sure to send you many!
About: I’ve cared for and walked dogs extensively over the last 5 years for family and friends and looking forward to expanding this service to others in the SB community I am a remote worker with a flexible schedule. I spend a lot of my time outdoors whether getting sunshine on the beach or on the trails! I have a pup of my own so if yours ever needs some socializing I can bring her with us or leave her at home if your pup desires more one on one care. I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own!! I will provide updates to you on our walks or overnight care so you feel in the loop and at ease.
“Thankful for Benjamin and fitting us into his schedule for a last-minute dog-walking booking. He took great care of our dog and was easy to communicate with. Our dog got into the creek on one of his walks with Benjamin, and Benjamin did such a good job cleaning up our dog after his dip. We will book again when needed.”
“Jessieeee issss amaziiiing. She took care of Rolley while we were getting married at the courthouse. She was with us taking photos and during the ceremony. I highly highly recommend her. She also gave us a regular update with photos and videos of him playing and resting with her. She treated Rolley like her own. Thanks so much Jessie!!”
About: I absolutely love dogs and have experience with all kinds—big, small, energetic, and even the extra shy ones. I’m great with puppies who need a little training and older dogs who just want a slow, relaxing stroll. I make sure every walk is fun, safe, and full of good sniffing spots! Plus, I know how to handle leash manners, basic commands, and even give meds if needed. Most of all, I treat every dog like my own, so you can trust they’ll get plenty of care and attention while we’re out and about. I will always make time to take care of animals. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime breaks, or just making sure they’re fed and happy, I always make time for them. I’m pretty flexible, so I can easily work around a pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. At the end of the day, I just love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy while their owners are away! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and at home—whether it’s in my place or theirs. That means sticking to their routine, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they have a stress-free environment. I have a very spacious home with a solid sized backyard for Santa Barbara, all fenced in so there won’t be any escapers.
“It’s was my first time booking with Anny. I am very impressed by how professional, knowledgeable and responsible she is! She spent a good amount of time understanding my dog and cat during the meet and greet to ensure she had a good understanding of both. I am glad to have Anny take care of my boys I had to be home late. Highly recommended!”
“Leah was wonderful with my boy, Leo! She came right on time and fed and walked Leo. He seemed so happy and I could tell she took good care of him. I really appreciate Leah and will definitely ask her to walk or dog sit again for us again! Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs since I was a very young kid. My neighbors would frequently trusted me to take care of their dogs or walk them. I volunteer frequently at the animal shelter and have considered adopting for myself. During the summer, my schedule is relatively empty and I am free to watch and play with dogs for the entirety of days. Playing with dogs has always been my favorite way to spend a day, and I am eager to include your pup on any and all activities that go on throughout the day. The safety of dogs is the most important thing. My house is pet friendly and there are no other pets in the house. However, I live a 2 minute walk from the beach and have a car that I frequently take into the Santa Barbara hills for runs and hikes. I lead a very active lifestyle and would be eager to keep your dog active during the day as well. At the same time, if a dog likes to relax, I would be just as excited to hang out at the beach or on the couch. If a dog has high energy, my goal in the past has always been to wear the dog out with fun activities and exercise, and I am always willing to cater to the needs of your pup.
