Cat Sitting in Isla Vista

“Julia was wonderful. She was flexible, kind, and very responsible.”

About: I believe that all pets should experience living life and doing fun activities that we all do! I grew up with pets my whole life, having 2 dogs and 2 cats. What inspired me to begin my journey on this app is from when I volunteered at my local shelter to foster huskies, ranging from a day trip to week long care. I like to plan fun activities in advance with the pets to do throughout the day/weeks, which can be a fun stroll to the beach to collect seashells, going to downtown, and meeting new people at events (such as the farmers markets, makers markets, and more)! I make sure they are under the best possible care while still having fun :) I’m a current student, so I would appreciate if services are scheduled in advance. At the same time, I’m overall pretty flexible and tailors to clients needs. This can be scheduling, pricing, and instructions! I’m pretty flexible! Something as easy as dog walking or drop-ins I can basically do any time, but dog/ cat sitting needs a bit more preparation. Being a student, sometimes things can come up last minute. When given instructions, I am pretty on top of it. Any requests I would be more than happy to accommodate. No need to be afraid to ask questions! I listen to instructions well.

“Gisele did a great job caring for Pepper! She’s very sweet and sent me multiple photo updates daily, I would definitely trust her to come back! 5 stars! ✨”

About: Ever since I was younger I had dogs, cats, etc. Any animal you can think of I had! I love animals and especially dogs and would love to help anyone who needs it with their dog. I have a golden retriever of my own and used to have two smaller dogs! I am currently a first year student at sbcc and after classes and on weekends, I’d like to care for your dogs or cats if needed! Everyday in my school schedule is a bit different but I will work around the times to fit in the time. I don’t provide in house care as of right now because of my apartment situation but in the future I would love too! At my own home I spend a lot of time with my animals and always try to make sure they get what they need.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Audrey as our pet sitter for our two dogs, Sparta and Colt, and I can't recommend her enough! From the very start, Audrey's professionalism shone through in her communication. She was always prompt and thorough in her responses, making us feel at ease about leaving our pets in her care. During the pet sitting, Audrey took exceptional care of our home and, more importantly, our dogs. Knowing that both Sparta and Colt experience separation anxiety, she went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and happy. Audrey kept us updated regularly, sharing photos and messages that allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. We felt completely confident that our dogs were in the best hands. If you're looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend Audrey.”

“Leanna was an amazing and responsive cat-sitter! She made our little Suki have a wonderful time while we were away. It's nice to have a cat person watch your cat!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for family friends since I was five years old and the designated dog sitter with my friends. I am committed to maintaining any training routines you already have in place, so your dog experiences consistent care and structure. I work full-time, but I am available to care for pets during times that fit well with my schedule. I’m available Monday and Tuesday before 12:30 PM and after 9:30 PM, and Wednesday through Friday after 6 PM. I also have flexible availability on most weekends. I love pets and truly enjoy spending time with them. Pet care is something I prioritize and plan around, so you can count on consistent, attentive support. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own, providing the love, attention, and care they need while you’re away. I’m respectful of each animal’s boundaries and give them the time to adjust to a new friend. I also make sure to follow your household rules and routines as you’ve set them, so your fur baby stays comfortable and safe.

“Great - communicative and took kind care of our Cat. Much appreciated.”

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!

“I’m very how Benjamin knows cats very well, and doesn’t force interaction for my former feral. He gives my former feral space, and he also lavishes attention onto my other more social cat.”

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and love all animals—big and small! I recently moved to Santa Barbara for work and am excited to start petsitting here. For over ten years, I’ve been caring for other people’s pets, always making sure their pets are treated with lots of love. I have worked with animals of all ages from puppies to older animals, even have put on doggy diapers! I have also worked with animals with different behavioral problems or those that have medications. I love all animals and also have experience with cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I am happy to keep your animal with whatever routine they have to make them as comfortable as possible. One of my favorite parts of Santa Barbara is all of the trails and would love to take your pup on some adventures (with your approval of course). I have my own australian cattle dog if you’d want your pup to have a play date. Otherwise lots of walks if that’s something that your pup is interested in too! I’ll be sure to treat your special pets with lots of love when you’re away! :) I recently moved to Goleta to start a job at a nonprofit. I work from home two days a week and can let your dog out at lunch as needed. I prioritize making your pet feels comfortable when you’re away and I hope to keep their routine as best as I can. I also respect anything that you wish me to follow. I’m also happy to help water plants or take out the trash when watching your pet.

“We were looking for someone with a love for cats and we found that in Therese. She took great care of our kitty and sent lots of photos and a description of each visit. Our cat misses us when we leave, so we wanted someone who would give her lots of attention in addition to feeding and cleaning the litter box. We would definitely recommend Therese.”

“Sheena is just perfect! Barbie is a “found” can we are re-domesticating after 2 years in the wild, and Sheena has been so understanding and patient. She cares for both cats in our house, and appreciate so much her support!”

“Stella was timely and proactive! Would definitely book her again!”

About: From puppy zoomies to senior snuggles, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved! I’ve been an animal lover since I was three and got my first dog—life just wouldn’t be the same without pets! I’ve cared for senior pups with hip dysplasia, collapsing tracheas, and cancer, so I know how to keep them comfy, happy, and safe. Even when playtime looks a little different, I make sure it’s always filled with love and fun! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to hang with you furbaby. My availability is open throughout the weekday in the mornings and evenings. I am currently living in an apartment complex with a shared enclosed fence for all the pets in the complex. Juju, my cat will keep your dog friendly company as long as your dog is comfortable with cats!!

About: I’m a pet owner who has worked with Dozens of dogs and cats since the age of 10, Including Dogs of friends and neighbors, and have loved doing so every time. As a student, my schedule can differ, but I’m willing to properly communicate to make our schedules work and to prioritize you and your pet. From experience, I always approach an animal in a loving and respectful manner, keeping an eye out for potential threats to ensure the animals safety.

“Great with my dog, and he seems to enjoy her visits!”
