Dog Boarding in Isla Vista, CA

“Gurudatt and his family were amazing with our pup. They went on multiple walks per day and went to play at the park too. Their dog Bruno is super friendly and was a great play partner for our dog. They sent pictures and videos throughout the stay so I knew she was being well taken care of and happy.”

“We felt so lucky to have found Lynn & Marty to care for our sweet boy while we were out of town. They were incredibly kind, warm and communicative throughout the entire process. They are true dog lovers, and we had great peace of mind knowing Sonny was with such wonderful people during our trip. Thank you, Lynn & Marty!”

“Our dogs love staying with Shalon. They always get a lot of play and activity time and are very chill after the initial excitement of reuniting.”

“Eleanor was very attentive to Maya’s needs and sent us pictures while we were gone. When we picked Maya up she was very happy. We recommend Eleanor as a dog sitter!”

“Lauren was so loving and attentive to my pup! She sent regular updates with photos and videos. He seemed so happy when I picked him up! I would book her again!”

“Amber was great and sent pictures of Moki’s adventures each day. Moki seemed happy when I picked her up and had even had a bath. I would definitely reach out again and would recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“Damian is the best! He has looked after our dog for over three weeks while we were away, and he cares for her just like his own dog. Sprite gets daily excised and fun time, and we receive frequent updates on her. Will go back to Damian again!”

“Natalia is officially our go to sitter. This was our 1st time leaving our super anxious dog with a stranger. We were given at least daily photo updates and it also looked like she took him to the beach and dog park (Krypto looked really happy in the photo). Natalia had everything already, so next time we go on vacation we just need to provide Krypto's food and supplements. She purchased a toy for him, has a bed, water/food bowls, crate...so I highly recommend Natalia”

“My doggy had so much fun with Lianne and her family. They took her to the beach and made my dog feel super at home. Will be using again! Thanks”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong safety background and experience with dogs of all ages and needs. I’m CPR certified through both lifeguarding and memory care, giving me the ability to stay calm and respond quickly in emergencies. I have hands-on experience with both puppy care (including basic training, housebreaking, and socialization) and senior dogs (gentle handling, administering medications, and adjusting routines for mobility or comfort). I also prioritize keeping dogs active, happy, and mentally engaged, whether that means long walks, playtime, or calm companionship. But, I love to be active because I have a love for exercise and I am on the UCSB’s Women’s Soccer Team. I treat every dog like family — with patience, consistency, and love. I’m currently working part time as both a college mentor and an event staff worker for UCSB athletic events. I have a dog that I’ve had for 10 years and have had other animals in the past that are like children to me. I am currently on the UCSB women’s soccer team and love to be active. I obviously want to make you feel as comfortable and confident that your pet is being cared for and safe. I would love to send pictures updating how the day, nights and walks have gone. As a pet owner of a dog that is a runner, I know how crucial it is to make sure doors are closed. I am also used to having a dog that gets into trash and clothes, so I know how to be organized for the safety of the environment.

About: I’m a 26-year-old working professional who works a hybrid schedule. I’ve grown up with high-energy dogs like Boxers and have years of experience volunteering at shelters and humane societies. I frequently day-foster dogs through SBC Animal Services and love giving each dog personalized attention. I’m attentive to older dogs, pets on medication, and those with other specials need. Your pup will be cared for like family! I work full-time but have a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to be home when needed. My office in downtown Santa Barbara is dog-friendly, so I can often bring dogs along if needed. I’m also available all day most weekends, making it easy to provide consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the week. I live in an apartment with a secure outdoor patio where pets can relax safely. I provide daily walks, plenty of playtime, and frequent potty breaks. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular feeding and care schedule to keep their routine consistent and comfortable.

“Jeanine was very willing to have a pre-stay meet up to introduce our dogs and give my dog the opportunity check out her place. She sent an update and photo of Shiloh's stay even though I didn't specifically request one. My dog's stay was just for one night, but I could tell she felt right at home and had a great time. ”

“Wonderful family and their dog Stella provided a safe, fun, loving experience for Sage while we took an extended adventure in the South Pacific. Kept me informed of Sage’s activities and behavior in their home with photos, videos, and emails. Sage was happy to see me when I returned but clearly reluctant to leave her new family. I highly recommend this Rover family.”

“Jacqueline and Roland were wonderful with Remy. They were mindful of his needs and accommodated him beautifully. They sent me pictures to eliminate my anxiety and were always responsive. We had a great experience!”

About: Hi! I'm an experienced and dedicated dog caregiver, offering personalized pet sitting services either in my home or yours. I provide attentive care and ensure that your dog stays active, whether through regular walks, runs, or enjoyable hikes, tailored to their needs. Your dog will receive the utmost care, exercise, and affection while you're away, with a focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I work at home, I can structure my schedule around providing consistent, quality care for the dogs I look after. Whether it's walks, hikes, or home visits, I make sure each dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. I’m flexible with timing to ensure the pets I care for are always prioritized. In my home, I offer a safe, comfortable environment with a fenced-in backyard for outdoor play and a quiet neighborhood for walks. I also enjoy taking dogs to local trails or the beach for extra adventure, using my car for safe transportation. I normally let the dogs roam free in my home and sleep in my room at night but if the owner has specific rule or crate their pet I will follow their care instructions. When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it a priority to follow the owner’s rules and routines to ensure the dog feels comfortable and stays in their usual routine.

“Ellen was amazing! my little dog needed medication administered and some special attention and Ellen handled it no problem. We highly recommend her and will have our little dog stay with her next time we leave!”

About: I love any and all dogs! I have grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a 5 year old well-trained aussie at home! I would love to care for your animals as well ▼・ᴥ・▼ ♡ I am currently studying for the MCAT this summer so my schedule is pretty flexible! Just let me know what works best for you and your pet. I am open to whatever needs your pet requires. I am willing to walk, feed, play with, and/or give medications to your pet when needed. Personally, my aussie gets fed morning and night, goes on a 2.5 mile walk in the mornings, and sleeps with me in my bed.

“Carson was so great with our lab, Shelby! He was very responsive, friendly, attentive, and happy to watch Shelby for the weekend. He sent daily pictures/videos too! We couldn’t recommend Carson enough and hope we can schedule him again soon :)”

“My pug/chihuahua mix did very well with Cheryl. She was very attentive to his emotional needs, and tolerant and constructive about his bad habits. Will rebook again for certain.”
