Give Your BFF Their Own Vacation!

The Four Seasons for Four Paws is a happy resort where your fur angel will thrive with an experienced couple's 24/7 care! Our lovely home is mere blocks away from downtown, but offers multiple separate fenced yards and three spacious air-conditioned bedrooms for sleep and cuddles. We also offer complementary pick-ups and drop-offs (in a safe, new model SUV, crate or pet security belt system) and grooming. Each visit is your pet's personalized vacation where will accomodate each pet/pet parent's individual needs and special requests! For dogs who love the outdoors, both of our yards and the additional separate third outdoor space are ideal to accommodate both the solitary-minded dog and those who enjoy socializing! For the less outdoorsy types, there is plenty of room to play or snooze indoors. While our location is a great launching point for walks to nearby parks and downtown, if desired, your dog can also enjoy trips to beaches, dog parks, and hiking trails. We also have expertise in providing loving care for elder pets/pets with special needs, and ample experience in dispensing medication and providing extra TLC to pets recovering from routine surgeries. Cats can enjoy plenty of cuddles and games unbothered by dogs, as every room in the house has a cat door. There is also plenty of cat furniture up high (presently guarded by our beautiful Bengal!). For (much) more cat information, please check out the Cat care details below! In addition, feel free to ask us about experienced flight nanny services, ground transportation, pet photography or biography, rescue and shelter scouting, pet socialization sessions, or breed choice consultations for cats or dogs.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 21, 2026

Your pup will be in great hands with Ryan! We loved seeing updates throughout the day of our dog having fun with other dogs in the backyard. It was also great to know there are multiple outdoor and indoor areas if the dogs needed space from each other. We were relaxed because we knew she was being well cared for and she came home happy and tired after a big day of fun.

Ryan was so great with our cat Freddie! He helped us out with a last minute booking and made special accommodations for our cat as well that really helped us out. I think our cat had a great time so will 100% rebook!

Doggy Day Care • Mar 14, 2026

Ryan is the best! Not only is he great with dogs, he is a great person in general! Our dog duke had a lot of fun and we received countless photos during his stay. He is flexible with timing and very helpful in letting us do a meet and greet before Duke’s stay.

Schedule

Unlike other sitters on Rover, we can curate your pet's experience to be personalized based on their needs and yours. We are honored to care for your beloved four-legged family member(s). Our goal is to give your best friend(s) the utmost care and attention; comfort, affection, safety, and fun all day and every day, and hope that this will enable you to enjoy your time apart without worry. In closing, please let us know any and all special requests you have, whether for a half-day day care or a two week boarding. We can assure you that there is no particular request for care that we would see as excessive, and no detail that we would overlook. In summation, we love them the way we love our own!

Safety, trust & environment

I know how hard it is to trust someone with your beloved pets. Whether at our home or yours, we make sure that not only their needs are met, but that they are engaged, active, affectionate, safe and happy. For your piece of mind, we go out of our way to provide prompt updates, clear and timely communication and pictures--as often and many as you like. Our house is a spacious three bedroom with three separate fenced outdoor areas, two of which are shaded against the rain. We offer hikes and outings, complimentary grooming, and complimentary pick-ups and drop-offs in a crate or pet seat-belted 2022 Ford Titanium Escape. Still not convinced? Come tour our house--or chat on the phone with my spouse (The Cat Whisperer) and I--to see why we we have only five star reviews with the most repeat clients of any pet care professional in the Central Coast!

A typical day

Activities are only limited by your instructions and the preferences of your pet! There is ample room both inside our house and outside! We have two separated fenced outdoor areas including two grassy yards, both with protection from the rain, ideal for every size, temperament, and style of play! Outdoor outings in my pet-seatbelt and crate outfitted 2022 Ford SUV are always on offer, whether to Hendry's Beach, Shoreline Park, the Carpenteria Bluffs, the Goleta trails, people-and-dog watching on State Street, or anywhere else you'd like us to go!

I have vast experience with many breeds and their unique quirks. However, because every pet is an individual, I'd love to know their daily routine, favorite treats, activity needs, level of separation anxiety/energy/sociality, what they like to do most as well as their pet peeves (ouch) and of course, their sleep habits, health, and dietary needs.
