About: I am an experienced dog walker, I know how to administer medications, clean litter boxes, and provide loving and stimulating attention to all animals ! I am free to take care of pets from morning until night Mondays through Thursdays! For overnight sitting I am available weekdays as well as Fridays and weekends. I am a very loving and attentive cat and dog mother. I couldn’t live without my babies and I will treat each pet I watch like my own!

About: Hi! I’m a 21-year-old college student and passionate animal lover with over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I currently have 2 dogs, 3 cats, and several exotic animals, including fish and geckos, so I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, giving me extra experience with different personalities and needs, and I’ve learned basic medical care and health monitoring by caring for my own pets and others. I’m extremely patient, positive, and dedicated to making sure every animal I care for feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, or just cuddles, I treat every pet like part of my family and love seeing tails wag, purrs, and happy little chirps! As a full-time undergraduate student at UCSB, I’m available to care for pets in the Santa Barbara/Isla Vista area throughout the week. I have a flexible schedule outside of classes, allowing me to provide reliable visits, walks, and quality time with your pets. On weekends, I’m based in Los Angeles, where I’m available for more full-time care and can dedicate extended time and attention to your pets. No matter the day or location, I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m highly attentive, respectful of your space, and always make sure to leave your home just as clean—if not cleaner—than I found it. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and mindful of every detail, from routines to special instructions. No mess is too big and no need is too much—I’m here to make sure both you and your pets feel completely comfortable and cared for.

“Madeline was very communicative, nice and she followed our instructions well. She played with our cat Pacha and he had a blast! We would definitely book with Madeline again!”

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.

About: Growing up, my home was filled with life—twenty pets of all kinds, each with its own personality and story. From tiny hamsters to cute cats, to loyal dogs, every creature became part of the family. Each day was full of responsibility, from feeding schedules to vet visits, but it never felt like work. Those moments taught me empathy, patience, and the joy of nurturing living beings. Watching them grow and thrive was one of the greatest gifts of my childhood—a chaotic, loving household that shaped my heart and showed me the beauty of unconditional care. I do part-time videography, alongside vanlife. I have a very free schedule to care for your pets needs along side consistent videography; if you desire that. If you at all need help with creating social media for your pet, I love to edit and would love to create videos to show off your wonderful pet. As a part-time videographer with over a million followers cross-platform, I balance creativity with flexibility—leaving plenty of time to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. I’m happy to combine my two passions: animals and storytelling. If you’d like, I can even create fun, high-quality content that showcases your pet’s personality and turns their adorable moments into social media gold. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or camera time, your companion will be in great hands.

“Gisele was very easy to communicate with and plan a drop in visit for our two dogs. She provided updates and pictures from the visit as well. Would book with her again!”

About: I worked at Dioji for three years with all breeds and sizes and was a manager for some of that time. I am confident in feeding, bathing and medication administration! I am a recent stay at home mom so my infant son Felix will be joining me! My schedule will be as flexible as he is and if your dog is uncomfortable with young children this is not a good fit. I have a large fenced yard at my house. We live in a shared home so the dog will most likely stay outside with supervision.

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was 2! I have pet sit for family and friends my whole life including puppies and elderly dogs! I have no allergies or fears when it comes to pet care. I am currently a full time student who is available after 2pm everyday excluding Friday. I have morning classes and therefore must put my classes first. My apartment is pet friendly and I have a car to travel to clients’ houses. I live right next to a large dog park as well as the beach for fun pet excursions.

“Sheena was a good caretaker for our cat, Apollo. She knows how to administer insulin and is passionate about caring for animals. She even went out of her way to bring Apollo extra toys and treats.”

About: I've had pets all my life, including right now. I'm comfortable around different breeds, sizes and temperaments. I have dog sat on the side for a family i worked for so I'm familiar managing routines, walks, feeding schedules and keeping pets happy while owners are away. Im especially comfortable with medication management for dogs and cats and can carefully administer medications if needed. I'm currently working Tues through Friday. Im also currently in college. I currently only have a morning Monday class and the rest are online When caring for pets in a clients home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Making sure gates and doors are secure before letting pets outside is also very important.

“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!”
