My wife and I have owned dogs since we were 8 years old. Last round, we had 3 dogs: a bloodhound, a golden & a shit-zhu. We have recently moved here and do not own dogs for the first time in forever. We miss having dogs in our lives (no room!) & will be great caretakers of yours. We are retired & very flexible re schedules. I run, so I can take your guy or girl out to burn off some energy if needed. Mostly, we just love dogs! We are dependable and have a car. Can't wait to meet some California canines in and around the Santa Barbara area. We can house sit, do drop-ins, and of course go for walks as needed. Cheers -
