Pet Sitting Huasna

“It was great to have Kayla watch our kitty while we were away! Kayla was quick to reply and share updates and it was great to know she was in good hands.”

About: I have taken care of many family & friends dogs and cats (and other types of pets) over the years. I have never had an issue with even the unruly ones. I am able to gain an animals trust quickly and am intuitive on how to approach them & care for them. I have a special needs nephew that I am a Respite Careworker for, I help administer his medications and am confident I can administer meds to any animal as well. I have also been taking care of my disabled mom for the last few years and am a mother of 2 (new empty nester). I have a lot of patience and don't get upset with messes. Everything is washable in my opinion. Although I will keep your house as tidy as possible if I am House Sitting for you. I live in Santa Maria, but am available for pet/house sitting in any part of Santa Barbara or San Luis Counties depending on the day(s). I would consider traveling further on the weekends if I am able. I am a responsible & trustworthy person, who genuinely enjoys caring for others. I work from home on Mon & Fri, so I am only unavailable during the day on Tues/Wed/Thurs. I am able to care for animals in the morning before I leave for work and every evening. I recently lost my dog at the ripe old age of 17, I used to walk my dog every day, so I know all the good dog walking spots in the area. I love hiking as well, so if your dog is up for it, I am happy to take them hiking too. I work in conjunction with my partner who is home during the day, so if there is a need for more exercise, feedings or medication during the day, we can facilitate that. I enjoy the company of animals, so they would be included in everything I do, as much as possible. I used to take my dog everywhere with me. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, only because they are more comfortable there. My place is not very big, so it depends on how much space they are used to. I can sit 2-3 dogs at a time if they are not too big. I have room for a crate, but not more than one. I do have a is fenced in yard with a locked gate.

About: I have over 10 years of experience in caring for all kinds of pets, including senior pets, and special needs. I am familiar with administering medications as well. No pet is too big, small, scary, or needy for me! Housesitting and frequent visits are preferred. I currently work part-time so that I will have plenty of time for your pets! I am a college student, so I am busy midday but free the rest of the time to take care of your fur babies! For frequent visits, I spend between 2-4 hours in your home caring for and playing with your pets. For housesitting, I will spend between 4-8 hours a day with your pets! I am a meticulous planner, so I always make sure to have plenty of time to spend with pets.

About: I’m patient with animals. Consistent noises like a baby whining doesn’t bother me as much as others. I don’t overwhelm the animals to get to know me, I let them warm up to me first. I also just enjoy being around them. I’m open to all the days of the week at the moment. I cant accept anything before 9 am and after 10pm though, and don’t do overnight pet sitting. I make sure I’m known first in the house so they know I’m there, if there accepting of it, I’ll go pet them and give them attention, but if there being more distant I’ll naturally give them there space and let them warm up to me. I’ll treat them as if they were my own pet.

About: I am a licensed Vet Tech who recently moved to the area. I have 10 years of experience working with a variety of animals in a clinical setting. Also, I have always had pets growing up as well. I can help you with anything from exercising your animal, boarding or even administering medications. I am new to the area and I currently have open availability. I have a dog of my own, but I am able to manage caring for your pet as well as my own. I have a fenced yard and a dog who loves to play. I can stay at your house or even have your pet stay over if needed. I currently live with my parents who are able to care for my dog if your pet needs more alone time. I can accommodate to whatever your pet needs.

About: Hi! I’m Lauren — a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up in a home that always had dogs (usually three!), and I started dog-sitting back in college in the early 2000s. One of my favorite long-term clients had a huge white German Shepherd who growled at everyone. By evening on day one, he was upside down in my lap, getting a belly rub! I had two beloved dogs of my own for 15 years, and now that I have two young kids (and no current pets), I’m looking to share my love with your furry (or scaly!) family member. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or snuggle time, I’ll treat your pet like my own. Dogs, cats, snakes, bunnies — you name it, I love them all. 💛 If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to help care for your pet while you’re away! We’re a family of four, and your pets will never be left alone for long—my husband works from home and provides a calm, quiet environment with plenty of companionship, cuddles, and walks throughout the day. I handle all feeding and any medications, so you can feel confident your pet’s routine will be followed carefully. We love making animals feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away! 🐾💛 We have a safe, fenced-in front yard that's great for larger dogs to get some playtime and fresh air. Inside, your pet will be treated like part of the family — couches are fair game (as long as you’re cool with it!), and my whole family will be happy to shower your pet with love, snuggles, and attention.

About: Dogs are sent from God to make human lives complete. I'm lucky to have 1 well-adjusted one. It's a privilege to spend time around dogs; I treat them with respect and also have expectations for them. The result: a happy pack! (When you're making your dog care choice, please know I prefer dogs who are potty / house trained & treated for flea / tick). Dogs are like my children. They're having fun and learning at the same time. Exercise, water, attention and play time is what makes a good dog! They're a priority when they're with me and no decisions are made without considering how it affects my dog / dogs. I understand each dog is unique; they have their own personality and experiences which make them who they are. That being said, there isn't a "cookie cutter" way to treat a dog. Knowing each one, what they fear or love, what it takes to make them happy is what makes for a good outcome. My ultimate goal is for your dog to leap out of your car when he / she arrives at my home or sees me walk through your door.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for animals in both professional and personal settings. I have worked with dogs for over three years, including experience at a pet resort where I was responsible for supervising and caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My experience includes feeding, administering routine care, monitoring behavior and well-being, maintaining clean and safe environments, providing exercise and enrichment, and making sure each pet receives plenty of individual attention. I also have experience working in a grooming facility, which helped me become comfortable handling dogs with different temperaments and needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience caring for horses and other livestock, so I am confident working with both small and large animals. Animal care is something I take very seriously. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I am attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I am will be starting school at Cal Poly in the fall studying animal science. I do have a job at a dog kennel but have long enough breaks to be able to check on the dogs and I work about 3-4 days a week. I ensure all the animals have the proper amount of food everyday, along with making sure they have enough water. If there is no doggy door I let the animals out as frequently as needed. I always make sure they have lots of walks, playtime, and cuddles.

“Rebecca was great with my pups when she stopped by to feed them and give them some love while we were out of town. Great with communication too. Thanks!”

About: Can’t wait to hang out with your pet. I’ll always make sure they have fun with me. I’d love dogs but I think it’s a big step and prefer to be a sitter for now It fits in because I have a lot of free time and I’d love to spend time with animals ! Also I really love that I can get out and exercise and I am adding that to my daily routine Making sure my home or clean and free of any harm to animals or any one really. I live near the beach. So it’s perfect for a walk and there is a dog park nearby

“Lars was fantastic! All of our animals seemed well cared for! He was reliable, relaxed, and a great communicator. He could handle walking both of our dogs (both of whom are "energetic" on walks :))! We will definitely use Lars again, and I would highly recommend him to others.”

About: Every creature I meet - from fuzzy, waggy, purry fluff balls to mysterious little pocket-sized critters - is an adventure waiting to happen. I greet each one with sparkling excitement and big-hearted curiosity and love. 🏡🐶🐱 Due to remote working, I’m always here for your animal!! Animals at my house get the luxury of having interaction at their paws 🐾 Animals know I understand their secret frequency. My patience, gentleness, and playful spirit make them feel like they've found their long-lost best friend. I’ve had animals by my side my whole life, which is probably why I’m basically an animal whisperer at this point. They sense my intuition — that soft, instinctive way I know exactly what they need, whether it's a snack, a cuddle, or something else. Animals aren't just pets. They're honorary members of my family; my tiny roommates with fur. My home is their kingdom; my heart is their cozy lounge. Where I go, animals follow — because they know I’m the kind of human who truly gets them. I don’t just fit animals into my schedule — I weave them into my day. My routine is delightfully flexible, perfectly shaped to welcome paws. My schedule is flexible and intuitive, allowing me to build in regular check-ins, feeding times, walks, and play sessions without stress or disruption. I move through my tasks with patience, intuition, and a sprinkle of magic — knowing exactly when a dog needs an extra trot around the block or when a cat needs a dramatic feather-toy performance. Animals slip into my schedule so naturally you’d think they helped design it. To every pet I care for, I’m the whimsical guardian who arrives right when they need me — the keeper of routines, the bringer of fun, and the human who makes their day just a little more sparkly. Safety begins with awareness, consistency, and preparation. When caring for an animal, I create a space where their physical well-being is always the first priority. That means secure environments (no open doors if they are not allowed out, hazardous items, or unsafe spaces), proper handling, and mindful supervision during walks, play, or feeding. I pay attention to their routines, health cues, and comfort levels, making sure they’re protected from stress, danger, or anything unfamiliar that could overwhelm them. A safe animal is a relaxed animal — and I make that possible. A good environment is one that supports an animal’s emotional and physical needs. I create spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and full of enrichment — spots for quiet rest, opportunities for play, and room to explore without fear. My presence makes the environment even better: calm, welcoming, and filled with positive interactions. Whether the animal is staying in my home or I’m in theirs, I make sure their surroundings feel familiar, soothing, and full of the little comforts that help them thrive.

About: Hello! What sets me apart from other sitters is the personal attention and genuine care I give to every dog. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, routine, and individual needs rather than treating every dog the same. I am reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I make sure pet parents feel confident knowing their dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for every dog to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home when they are with me. Experience: I have always had at least 2-3 dogs. I have done some training with my first dogs and have volunteered at multiple shelters (most time spent taking care of newborn puppies)! I also house-sit for multiple families and friends. I am flexible on time and love all dogs! Excited to take care of your doggies! I am working Thursday- Sunday but can do after 5 on those days. Other than that I am open to anytime. Early morning, easy afternoon, or evenings! I will ask for things your pet needs if there is any special instructions! I will test your pets as if they were mine. I will make sure they gets lots of attention and whatever is asked of the owners!

About: WILLING TO NEGOTIATE PRICING, I AM FLEXIBLE. If you don’t like the price, tell me. I have taken care of animals my whole life since I have grown up around several dogs and cats in my household. I began actually pet-sitting as a side job when I was fourteen years old. Now, at 21 years old I also housesit people's properties, walk dogs, provide drop-ins, and stay overnight to watch over pets. Not only have I taken care of cats and dogs, but farm animals as well including goats, sheep, horses, ponies, alpaca and chickens. I love being around all kinds of animals. I like to keep very open and quick response time with my communication. I want to make the owners feel safe and comfortable with me watching over their fur babies and their home. I am a full time student at PCPA’s acting conservatory located in Santa Maria. I completed my Bachelors in Psychology at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I have housesitting gigs and babysit whenever I am not at school. Through Rover, I am hoping to gain more regular clients and meet new people and their adorable fur babies. I enjoy quality time with cats and dogs. Am able to watch over farm animals as well. I have taken care of chickens, horses, sheep, goats, llamas, alpaca, and reptiles. I stay on top of things and am very proficient. I appreciate through instructions, since each owner is particular with their routine with their pets. I am very flexible and am excited to help in anyway I can!

About: Growing up with horses, I developed my passion for animals at a young age. I ran a petsitting business for 7 years in Charlotte, NC and am aiming to get started again here on the Central Coast! Experience includes house sitting, livestock care, dog walking, and drop-in care. I do currently work full-time 12 hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I am available in the evenings from 5 to 10 still. Fridays through Sunday are fully available. For seven years, I provided house sitting for many repeat customers that travelled often and for extended periods for work. I have also worked on various horse farms. My breadth of experience allowed me to be flexible with any accommodations you may have. I do have a my dog, Coco, that likes to join along but this is not a requirement.
