Stress-free Pet Care in Your Home
Hi! We’re Jessa and Justin, a married couple and local professionals who genuinely love animals. We understand how important it is to trust the people caring for your pets and your home. Jessa works as an optician in Santa Barbara, and Justin is the Operations Manager for a local community park, where he oversees a private off-leash dog membership program. Through his work, Justin has experience interacting with dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. We were devoted dog parents for more than 20 years and recently became empty-nesters after saying goodbye to our beloved 17yo pup, Scootch. Caring for animals has always been a central part of our lives. We have spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, and we’re excited to continue sharing our time, care, and love with dogs in our community. Our goal is to provide calm, reliable, and attentive care that helps your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. We believe pets do best when they can stay in their familiar routine and environment, so we focus on making their days as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. We’re experienced with: * Senior dogs * Anxious or shy dogs * Daily walks and exercise * Administering medications * Maintaining feeding and potty routines * Providing companionship, patience, and lots of affection You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and prompt communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring hands. We’re dependable, respectful, and treat every home with the same care we would our own. We look forward to meeting you and giving your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
We prioritize creating a calm, safe, and low stress environment for every pet in our care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we respect their routines, boundaries, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. We pay close attention to behavior, safety, leash security, medications, and household rules, and we always keep communication open with regular updates and photos. We’re clean, dependable, and respectful of clients’ homes, and we understand the trust involved in caring for both someone’s pets and personal space. Because of our experience with anxious and senior dogs, we’re especially mindful of creating a calm presence and maintaining consistency and routine.

Schedule
We both work locally in Santa Barbara and maintain reliable, consistent schedules, which allows us to provide dependable pet care. We generally have weekends free, and during weekdays we work regular 8 hour shifts. Justin’s schedule is flexible and can often be adjusted to accommodate midday bathroom breaks, walks, feedings, or check-ins when needed.
