“Saidy goes above and beyond to take care of your pets, she is very professional and cares for all animals, she asks questions and makes sure your animals have their needs met whatever that may be. She also goes the extra mile while watching your home for extended stays and makes sure everything is in order. She was great with our dogs and even looked after our fish and lizard. Would definitely recommend you use her services”

“Debra was great with my pup. Lots of photos, walks and very quick with communication. She took good care of my place as well. I'd have her watch my dog again.”

“Itzli was fantastic with Cooper and I would absolutely book with her again. Communication was great from start to finish, and coordinating logistics was incredibly easy and stress-free. She took wonderful care of him while I was away and sent daily photos of their walks and playtime, and updates about meals, bathroom breaks, and how well they were getting along, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was obvious Cooper was in really great hands. When I came home, my apartment was exactly as I left it — clean, tidy, and well cared for — and Cooper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved the entire time. Overall, it was a really great experience and I highly recommend her!”

“Sam was super kind a considerate of the needs of both my family’s senior dog and my younger dog. She gave us multiple updates and did a great job of taking care of both of them. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Keegan has been very dependable and helpful. Walks and handles my newly adopted 55 lbs pitbull mix nicely. I have him scheduled again for more help.”

Carol W.

“Victoria did perfectly with our older pup, bonding with her and patiently accommodating her idiosyncracies. She thoughtfully took the time to meet her at our home ahead of the housesit, which helped us plan for it. We appreciated the updates and photos, too - very reassuring. We will book with her again and highly recommend her.”

About: My name is Emily and I am a nurse living in Santa Barbara. I grew up with dogs and cats and have 10+ experience with caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and breeds. Additionally, I have experience with senior care, animals with special needs, puppy/kitten care, and administering medications. I'm currently working part-time so I would be able to spend lots of time playing and spending time with your pet. I am available for house/pet sitting in your home and have the flexibility to work my schedule around what works best for you. I know some animals can be wary of strangers and new routines. I am very patient and take the time to build a relationship with your pet so they can feel as comfortable and safe as possible.

About: As someone who grew up on a ranch and has never not had a dog since birth, I truly love animals. I have firsthand experience living with and caring for both dogs and cats, and I would love to extend that same care to your furbabies. Animals I’ve cared for include dogs and cats (of course), sheep, cows, fish, ducks, and tree frogs! My golden retriever (Bandit) and tabby cat (Tiger) say hi! I have a super flexible schedule! I’m currently working an events-based position every few weekends, but other than that all my time can be dedicated to caring for your furbabies like they’re one of my own! Even on weekends where I have an event to work, I still have plenty of free time, so never hesitate to reach out if you’re in need of pet care anytime. I’ve had 6 dogs in my lifetime and have pet-sitted many others, so I am used to caring for dogs of all personalities and rules. Indoor outdoor, crate trained or not, energetic and playful or relaxed and sleepy, I am adaptable and here to do what is best for you and your pet!

“We were SO surprised and delighted with how Bonbon IMMEDIATELY fell in love with Arissa! Clearly, she has an animal-loving heart. She sent plenty of much-appreciated pictures and she was patient and loving as Bonbon went through her initial confusion and settled into "happy to be with a good person"! Will definitely call on Arissa again! :-)”

Linda L.

“Jocelyn was amazing with my pups, always asked questions when she had them and sent daily updates and pictures. My dogs were super calm and relaxed around her. I will use her again to dog sit in the future!”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Having grown up around various breeds, ages, and sizes, I’ve gained the skills to care for everyone from high-energy puppies to gentle seniors. I have experience with at-home training and have been dog sitting and walking professionally for 9 years. As an attentive observer, I pay close attention to each dog's unique personality to ensure they have exactly what they need. Whether your pup thrives on long outdoor adventures or prefers quality downtime and belly rubs at home, I’d love to give them the dedicated care they deserve! I work during the day Monday through Friday, but I have plenty of flexibility to make pet care a priority. Since I only work a half-day on Fridays and can come home during my lunch hour to check in on everyone, your pets won't be alone for long stretches. My schedule is very consistent, so I can offer reliable walks and plenty of quality playtime. Whether it’s a midday visit or long-term pet sitting, I structure my day to ensure your pets get the exercise and attention they’re used to. I’m also a very quick communicator, so you can expect regular updates and photos during our time together! Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Coming from a healthcare background, I am a very attentive observer by nature. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific routine and am highly comfortable following precise dietary needs or medical instructions. Whether I am caring for your companion in my home or yours, I maintain a secure, calm, and supervised environment. I’m very comfortable managing different temperaments from energetic pups who need a watchful eye to shy cats who need their space respected. You can trust that I will treat your pets with the same level of care, detail, and responsibility that I give my own!
