Pet care is part of our daily rhythm, so your dog will never feel alone or “fit in” around a busy schedule. Carolyn works from home, and is with your pet throughout the day for companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and calm supervision. Brad comes home for lunch and is with us again in the evenings, so your dog gets extra attention and affection every day. We follow your instructions closely, including regular walks, feeding routines, and any special care needs. On weekends, we love spending time outdoors and enjoying gentle nature outings (always based on your comfort level and your dog’s energy). Our goal is a safe, loving, family-style environment where your pet feels secure and truly cared for.

Information Bradley & Carolyn S. would like to know about your pet

We ask that clients provide clear information about their pet’s care needs before booking. This includes routine, temperament, exercise needs, medical conditions, medications, and any behavioral concerns. This helps us ensure we can safely meet your pet’s needs and provide excellent care.

A typical day

We’re lucky to live close to the beach and large grassy walking areas, so outdoor time is a big part of the fun. Activities include neighborhood sniff-walks, longer nature walks, and playtime like fetch with a ball or stick. We also enjoy gentle enrichment activities,helping dogs explore new scents and environments at their own pace. Our goal is always to keep pets happy, engaged, and relaxed while they’re with us.

Brad and Carolyn were so great with our dog, Marlo. They were very responsive and communicative, so nice to him during his stay, and just seem like they provide a great home. He even got a big, long walk.

Bradley was incredible with Rudy. Rudy definitely takes a second to warm up to new people, but Bradley was patient, calm, and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me a ton of peace of mind. Within about 12 hours, Rudy fully trusted him and settled in so comfortably. Honestly, when I picked Rudy up, I don’t even think he was that excited to leave 😂 You could tell they built a real bond. Bradley was giving him forehead kisses goodbye when I picked him up, and as a dog owner you can tell when someone genuinely cares about your dog versus just watching them. I was joking at the time, but I may actually have to keep driving from LA to Santa Barbara every time I leave town just so Rudy and Bradley can hang out again lol. Could not recommend him more highly.

Very kind and gentle with our fur baby! They were also flexible on the drop off and pick up time. They live right by the beach and whale watching tour pier. We will hire them again when we come back to Santa Barbara!

Brad and Carolyn took great care of Annabel for a week. She is a cautious, nervous dog but she was clearly very comfortable with Brad and Carolyn. She will be back!
