“Cheryl was great with coco, we did and meet and greet before our date walk and that helped a lot since I hadn’t had that with anyone else, it sure made me happy to know the person before.

“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.”

About: I have always had some kind of pet in my home (dog, cat, bird, guinea pig, hamster, fish). elped raise baby chicks and ducklings. I have fostered dogs, cats, and kittens for local rescue agencies. My schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am also available for overnight visits weekdays and weekends. I am knowledgable on how to keep your pets safe inside and outside of the home. I am familiar with different types of leashes and harnesses and I am aware of what to look out for on walks (interactions with other dogs, food or unsavory things on the sidewalk, foxtails and other prickly plants).

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and needs. I’ve personally cared for my own pets over the years, including administering medication, helping with recovery after surgery, and making sure they feel calm and comforted no matter what. I’m active and attentive, so whether your pet is full of energy or needs a gentler touch, I’ll give them the personalized care they deserve. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority! As a teacher, I have a structured schedule that gives me the flexibility to provide care before or after school hours. I love starting or ending my day with a peaceful walk, whether it’s through a neighborhood or out in nature—it's even better with a furry friend by my side! I’m also completely free on weekends, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine and truly brings me joy. I typically care for pets in my clients’ homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I know how important it is for pets to stick to their normal routines, so I make sure to follow feeding, walking, and play schedules just as instructed. I treat each home with the same respect and care I would my own—being mindful of privacy, keeping things tidy, and always prioritizing the safety and well-being of your pet. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or a stroll around the block, I’m there to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

About: I grew up raising cats, dogs, chickens, horses, goats, fish, and various other species of animals! I have experience with all life stages: from assisting animals with pregnancy/birth, to giving elderly/sick animals a loving transition. I’m a recent graduate from UCSB with a degree in marine biology. I am working night shifts as a server during my job hunt. I hope to find a regular 9-5 in my field, and then I’ll transition out of the night shifts. Regardless of those jobs I would like to keep rover as supplementary income and make it fit into my schedule for the long-term! I am very active and engaging with animals, and I see the importance of providing a stimulating and loving environment for them. I am happy to meet you and your pets needs regardless of the effort required.

About: Hello, my name is Katie and I am a local yoga instructor with a deep love for dogs. I grew up with pets of my own and have raised many dogs and cats throughout my life. I know how pets are like children, both playful, smart, a little stubborn, but oh so loving. I know how to keep dogs and cats happy and loved with my playful, yet calming energy. Once you and your pet meet me, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. I am available for dog walking and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends, and will always send photos so that you know your babies are happy. I can't wait to meet and care for your pets in the same way I love and care for my very own! I’m currently working part time, teaching online yoga…so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I am looking forward to caring for your pets as though they are kind. I am able to board your doggie…and I take great care of homes when I stay with your animals at your own home. Very clean, and want your home to feel great when you return home from your trip!

About: We had two corgis who lived long full lives walking them out at River Park or around our old Lompoc neighborhood was always special. I believe in keeping dogs close and nurturing them with positive reinforcement. I am training for half marathons again. Our dogs were my best running buddies. I like having a pet temporarily. I work as a realtor so I am in charge of my schedule. Taking and sending photos of your dogs' stays in progress is fun. I am very responsible. Our girl corgi was a 5 week old puppy when we got her. After we adopted the boy at 2 years old he was a 4H dog that we trained and learned to train for showing. Taking care of my BFF's cat and dog while she traveled for five to seven days in a few occasions was a special experience. Providing hospitality to pets in their home is my pleasure. Looking forward to seeing you and meeting and spending time with your pet Currently the only scheduled obligation I have is an environmental horticulture class at sbcc on Thursdays ends 05/25. Taking golf this summer. Looking forward to meeting new dogs in their homes. Taking care of dogs in their own home is a seamless way for your dog to feel secure and well taken care of with minimal changes for your dog to adjust to.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I love being able to go on walks and have a little fur friend to do it with! I’m gentle, nurturing, and have handled many different kinds of dogs. I work full time as a wedding photographer from home. My schedule gives me a lot of flexibility with walking dogs and house sitting. I create my own hours and can customize whatever you need. I have a small, fenced in porch. I live in a studio by a park and have enough space to have a dog stay with me and take them on frequent walks.

“My dog Olive LOVES Aubrie! For a rescue who was scared of everything and everyone for the first year of her life with me, Olive now recognizes Aubrie even from a distance and can’t wait to wiggle her way over to say hello and get pets. When Aubrie and I walk her together, Aubrie is great with Olive and I can just tell she’s a not only a dog person, but a warm, caring, and wonderful human in general. Also, Aubrie has come over to check on Olive while my husband and I were gone during long workdays. She was flexible and great at communicating including sending photo updates and a text that Olive had pooped in the usual spot during their walk - yay! I'm confident in Aubrie and appreciative that she is so helpful with my anxious Olive. It's very telling that Olive (and other dogs too!) feels so comfortable around her. I highlyyyyy highly recommend Aubrie!”


About: I’m Kristi, a stay-at-home momma with a lifelong love for animals and a heart for caring for pets like they’re part of the family.

I’d love to meet you and your buddy! My schedule is flexible, so I have time to walk, hike, care for, and play with your dog. I dog walk 2-3 times a day per dog. I live in a quiet and safe gated community with a fenced yard and plenty of grassy areas. I have a doggie door for easy in and out, and a large patio with pet bed, toys and water bowls. I have a spacious one level home for your pooch to spread out. When I'm not out with the dogs, they can usually find me in the kitchen where they love to hang out and wait for healthy treats. They are just part of the family and feel at home.

“I have been a pet sitter & a sitter on Rover for a few years now, and have been friends with Candice for over a decade. My husband and I have hired Candice a handful of times to care for our two shy cats while we're traveling - both drop-ins, and overnight housesitting. Candice is great with all animals, but we particularly appreciate her skills when it comes to bonding with our shy cats and giving them the attention they need while we're away. She is kind, reliable, trustworthy, always leaves our house tidy, and gives us regular updates and cute photos of our pets! 100% recommend Candice for your pet-sitting and house-sitting needs!”
