This is the first time we have used Rover for our new dog. The other dog we have is very used to Rover visits. Crystal did a wonderful job so we could attend the SB Film Fest. Our new dog is very shy and reserved. We appreciated Crystal spending time to let her adjust. She took great care of both. We will definitely use her again.

About: I’ve grown up in a family that loves animals, so naturally we’ve always had dogs around. After our old dog passed away from old age, we rescued two small dogs who quickly became part of the family. We treat them like royalty because they deserve nothing less and that's what i hope to share with your dogs. Taking care of animals isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I truly care about. I love spending time with them and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I'm currently enrolled in college and on the UCSB women's volleyball team. Although it sounds busy there's always room to play with a puppy! My weekends are always free for any kind of sitting or walking, as well as my afternoons and nights during the weekdays. Since I’m currently in college, I can’t have pets at home, but I take pet sitting seriously. I respect your space and privacy, understand the importance of cleanliness, and always stay on top of tasks and schedules to make sure your pets get the care they need.

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs breeds over the years from shepherds, golden retrievers, spaniels, and frenchies. I have my own dog, Kilo who is neutered and one and a half years old. Kilo has tons of energy so I am great at keeping any dog engaged. I have experience giving medications and providing for dog recovering from surgeries. I also have experience working to potty train puppies. I am a full time student at UCSB but my schedule has allowed me to have Monday, Wednesday, and Friday off along with the weekends! I have a fenced outdoor area and the dogs are also welcome inside as my house is puppy proof. I am also able to crate your dog when needed.

About: Having grown up my whole life with animals including dogs of all ages, cats, rabbits, etc… I have learned a great deal about the different care and attention that various house pets require such as the administering of their medication and making sure they get the amount of physical activity they require every day. I am student at UCSb but right now I am back home for summer break and currently have an open availability for the whole week. I will treat your pets with the up most attention and care as if they were my own and provide you with updates throughout the day. I will respect your home and ensure the security and cleanliness of your home.

Tracy is the most dependable, caring pet sitter. My dog Sampson, loves her. She always is at my house on time, plays and takes such good care of Sampson. I trust her immensely and would give her the key to my house if I’m not there when she comes to take Sampson I could not ask for a better caring, loving, person to take my special guy for a walk

Kimberly was truly amazing. She was able to look after our two cats last minute after our other cat sitter had a family emergency. She was incredibly responsive and made sure to keep us updated with very detailed notes and sent us the cutest photos which made my day. She even got our ghost cat to come out of hiding to play (no small feat)!! She went above and beyond when she cleaned all of the litter my cat decided to throw out of the litter box and around the bathroom (I am so sorry for that) and just was overall an amazing cat sitter. I cannot recommend Kimberly enough. We will be sure to contact her again in the future!

Ari watched watched my two cats and my dog while I was away for a 5 day trip. She always fed them on time and took my dog out for his scheduled walks. She sent daily updates with photos and videos that included playtime and walks. My pets all loved her as she is patient and caring towards them. Ari will be my first choice anytime I need a pet sitter again in the future!

About: I have had dogs mt whole life. I love them so much and love taking care of them, they’ll be in good hands in my care. I’m currently in college however only for a few hours a day which allows me to be home almost all of the day everyday of the week. I have a fenced backyard and a dog park at my apartment complex. There are no other pets in the household as well so no need to worry about that.

Jeeyeon was excellent with taking care of my cat Fifi. I needed a sitter last minute for my trip to the Bahamas and chose to go with her. My cat requires special needs because of a mental disorder and Jeeyeon knew how to give her pills on time. She sent me many picture updates of Fifi playing with her toys. So happy to say my cat came back relaxed. Will definetly use her again!

Kelsey has watched my dog on a number of occasions and has never disappointed. She has always conducted herself in a professional manner and when we go on family trips or vacations I always trust my dog in her hands. A very nice young lady who not only cares for the job but for the dog as well.
