Pet Sitting in Hope Ranch

About: I've grown up around animals my whole life and have firsthand experience owning and caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I'm very comfortable sticking to routines, managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and all the things that help pets feel at home. I am reliable, easy to communicate with, and understand how important it is to trust the person that is going to take care of your fur baby. I am currently working part time in the evening, so morning routines are best for me. My schedule is adjustable and flexible so I am willing to work something out that tailors best for you. I am comfortable with both inside and outside environments, cats and dogs, and the services that come along with that. For example, getting a dog in and out of its crate for play time or a walk, or patiently waiting for a cat to come out of hiding. I know each situation is unique!

About: I've taken care of dogs and other pets for over 40 years. I grew up around all kind of animals, and am comfortable adapting to their unique personalities & needs. I work mostly from home, and can be flexible for your pet care needs. I am available 24/7 on weekends and some holidays. I will always try to accommodate your schedule. I have a house, with a large, fenced yard. I live on a quiet, dead-end street, and have an open space very close by to allow your dog to sniff, walk, explore & run. I am also available to house-sit/care for your pet in your home.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and it’s all I know! I often watch my sisters dog and volunteer at the humane society when I can. I work from home that can get very stale and would love to use my flexibility to care/spend more time with other pets for anyone that could use the extra help! I also just love animals so much I currently work full time 9 to 5pm however I work from home/ work from anywhere so I have a ton of flexibility for multiple walks a day/ feedings etc. I’m also always happy to help on a Saturday or Sunday too Caring for pets in someone else’s home I always try to keep their routine as similar as possible with asking all the questions ( such as how long does your pet like to be walked, what treats are appropriate, do they like car rides etc )

About: I grew up with a few big dogs (ridgebacks, coonhounds and labs) and have been caring for them since I was smaller than them! Since moving away from home, I’ve dog sat for a few different friends and figured it was time to take my skills professionally. I am very attentive, affectionate, and always read instructions carefully. I work at a restaurant so my schedule is constantly changing! If you need regularly set hours, I can see if I can accommodate with my job. I can drive to and from just about anywhere in Santa Barbara-Goleta-Montecito area. I make sure to read instructions carefully, asking questions where needed, and communicating in a timely fashion. I will feed and exercise animals according to their schedules and give lots of love.

“Ben is a pro. He loves animals and will take care of yours. He’s helped me out several times now and I’ll keep requesting his help as long as he’s doing it.”

“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 am genuinely appreciative of the quality time that I am able to spend with animals and I am intentional with the attention that I give to all of the pets that I care for. I ensure that your pet can feel that I am happy to be there with them. I operate a remote online business and therefore can work from home whenever need be. I can fit pet care into my daily schedule easily, and can relocate and work from your home without issue or delay. I provide careful care and am extremely communicative with the pet owners. I adapt the type of care depending on the needs of each individual animal.

About: I have had experience with dogs and cats for 5 years. Working at a dogdaycare, starting my own dogwalking business, and creating meaningful connections with clientele and pets. I have plenty of free time to bond, walk, and take care of your pets. It is what I like to do in my free time during the week. A motto I like to live by when it comes to pets is, “treat them the way you want to be treated”, always with love and respect. I want my clients to feel peace of mind when I am taking care of their pets. I am confident I am able to create a trusting environment for the owner and pet.

About: I have been an animal person, for my entire, I LOVE all sorts of animals and have been owned many! Including almost 20 cats😺, many dogs🐶, hamsters, bunny🐰, fishies 🐟 and a rat🐀. Currently, I have 4 kitties and 4 fish. I also volunteer at the cat shelter (ASAP) and have been there for 4+ years. I can also administer meds to your pet, if needed. My dog Max had diabetes and I made sure he got his medication and was comfortable and happy. I love talking to all animals - it's a "bad" habit of mine, but I can't help myself! Also, I am the type of person who will rescue an animal (domestic or wild) if they are in trouble - I just want to help. Once, I even rescued a horse who was wandering in the middle of the street! I like to think that I am a friend to the wild animals in my neighborhood - the birds and squirrels, I I feed them too. It would be a pleasure to meet and take care of your pet and thank you for reading my profile! I work flexible hours and I would be able to fit your schedule into mine. All animals deserve the care and attention and I would make them priority. I make sure that they would have their wet food, dry food and clean water plenty and as needed. Animals need exercise, so I would play with the cats and groom them also. Definitely talk to them and make sure they are loved. Walk the dogs and make sure they get their outings as needed. Also play with them, if they have a favorite ball, we could play fetch, or if it is a friendly tug of war I am up for that too! If you have a senior fur baby, I would treat them kindly and make sure they were loved and cared for also!

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and naturally connect with them. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I also cared for my own senior dog for years, who lived to 15, which meant administering medications, moving at her pace, keeping routines gentle, and making sure she stayed comfortable and healthy in her senior years. I have experience caring for senior cats as well, and I’m very comfortable supporting animals that need extra patience or special attention. I keep a clean space, and pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I’ve watched multiple dogs at once in other people’s homes, from high-energy pups who love adventure to low-energy or anxious dogs who need quiet reassurance. Your pet will get genuine companionship, safety, and lots of love. I work part time and those are 7 hour shifts about 3 day a week, so please message me and we can talk about if the days I’m working will interfere with the care needed! My days off are naturally quiet and home-centered, which makes pet care easy to integrate. I check in often, refresh water, tidy litter boxes, take dogs out, and give lots of attention throughout the day. Animals add life and comfort to my routine, and I love having them be a part of it. In my home, pets get a cozy, clean space, plenty of check-ins, and a steady routine with meals, fresh water, play breaks, walks, and lounging together. I make sure they feel like part of the household and never rushed or ignored. In your home, I make sure everything stays clean, calm, and consistent. I follow your routines and instructions exactly, from feeding and meds to favorite toys or bedtime rituals. Whether your pet wants adventure or quiet comfort, I match their vibe and keep them happy until you return.

About: Hi! I’m Olive, I’ve been taking care of my own cats and dogs for the last 10 years! I want to expand my pet care to my community, after doing less formal pet sitting for friends and family. I’m reliable, love all and any type of animal, and am happy to work with any situation. Let’s chat! I work full time Tuesday through Saturday 10-6pm. Though, I’m available my working days to stop by to do a quick walk or potty break every 3-4 hours, potentially every 2 hours if needed. After and before work I can be fully present with the animals, as well Sundays and Mondays I can be fully present all day. I have experience with pet sitting in the smallest apartments as well as bigger houses. Crates or no crates, I’m happy to learn your animal and follow a schedule that works best for them! I’m thorough and understanding, and happy to chat more!

About: I have worked at multiple dog daycares over the years and have done group walking with up to 10 dogs while implementing training! I have done bail trims, administered medication and help with elderly animals. I have two cats of my own and have sat for others as well! I work at a salon and only work 6 hours shifts. I miss the animal world and am looking to spend some time with your pets! I’d be able to be around frequently to help out if booked! I would be able to care for them at your home due to my cats being easily stressed by other animals. I could stay over as well as do drop in visits. Love to walk and or play with your pets!

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, starting with my first dog at age five (creatively named Puppy 🐶). Five years ago, I adopted a Blue Heeler, Nalah, and have personally trained her in basic obedience, structure, and daily routines, giving me hands-on experience with high-energy breeds. During my undergraduate years, I consistently house-sat and provided care for three families with both cats and dogs, building strong relationships and becoming a trusted, long-term caregiver. I recently moved to Santa Barbara and am excited to reconnect with this lifelong love for animal care while I await licensure for my psychotherapy practice. I bring patience, attentiveness, and a calm, nurturing presence to every pet I care for—treating them like they’re my own! As I am awaiting my licensure I am very flexible, just let me know when is best for you! Once I’m licensed I will update my daily/weekly availability but still plan to do this part time. I prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort in every environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and preferred boundaries. I keep spaces clean, calm, and secure, and I’m attentive to body language, energy levels, and stress cues. In a client’s home, I respect the space and maintain clear communication, providing updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is always to create a safe, predictable environment where pets feel relaxed, cared for, and at home.

About: I grew up with an active, outdoor rescue dog, Lani, which has provided me with the best experience in dog care. I have ample experience watching, checking in on, and walking dogs of many personalities and sizes! My emotional intelligence will allow me to care for your pet in the way it needs or wants. Thank you for considering me! I work from home (M-F) and would love to have a pup around as a companion, especially as a walking buddy! My work hours are fairly flexible during the week. I also have some weekend availability. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space for dogs to play! I am a responsible, respectful, and attentive dog sitter and walker.
