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.

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.

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 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.

It sounds like the cats really liked Polly and felt comfortable with her. Our super shy kitty even came out to say hi, which she *never* does! She took great care of them and gave me a nice update with cute photos. We’ll definitely reach out to Polly 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!!

Wow! I’m super impressed with Leah and her love of our dogs. Our puppies love her and the time she spent with them. I’ve used her from drop ins and overnights and will use her again in the future. She’s spends quality time with the dogs and gives them her full attention. She also walks them and takes them on adventures to the dog parks and beaches.

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!

Megan helped us with our two dogs for Thirteen years. My husband and I had to travel for work often and depended on her while we worked from home to take care of our two pups when we could not. Megan was a blessing when my Dad was sick and always lightened the mood with her sense of humor. the dogs loved her so much they whined with excitement when her car pulled up. I consider her a friend and trusted dog sitter when I have needed her the most. She always brings a sense of humor and confidence to the door which is such a relief after having some very sketchy experiences.

Wendy is the best pet sitter I've ever experienced. She is an animal whisperer and treats all animals with the love and respect they deserve. Wendy has dog sat for two of my dogs (big and small) in the past couple of years and both of my dogs have adored her. She's ultra responsible and full of fun ideas for keeping my dogs happy when I'm out of town. I can't recommend her more highly. Liz L. Santa Barbara

We recently booked our dog Milo through Rover for a weekend stay, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. From the moment we dropped off our dog, it was clear that Daisy was both experienced and caring. Milo instantly felt at home, and Daisy kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which made us feel at ease while we were away. It was great to see Milo so happy and well taken care of, whether they were on a walk, playing with toys, or just lounging around. When we picked up Milo, he was calm and content, a sure sign that they had been in good hands. The entire process was smooth and worry-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Daisy again in the future. Highly recommended!

I have known Carly for years and she has always been very responsible and loving with both her own dogs and my dogs. I have always felt comfortable leaving my dogs in her care or sending them on walks with her. Your fur babies will be in the best hands with Carly, you can be sure they will be well taken care of and given lots of attention and love.
