Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet lover since birth
I can't remember a time without a furry (or occasionally aloof, whiskered) friend by my side. I literally came home from the hospital to a wagging tail — my family's dog was my first welcome committee, and honestly, it's been downhill ever since. In the best way. I've shared my home with cats who ran the place like tiny CEOs, and two dogs who kept me on my toes and taught me more about patience than any human ever has. If you've got a dog who needs zoomies and belly rubs, or a cat who'll deign to acknowledge my existence on her own schedule, I speak both languages fluently. I'm also a proud supporter of the Santa Barbara Humane Society — animals have given me enough joy over the years that giving back isn't optional, it's just what you do. When you leave your pet with me, you're not getting a stranger who "loves animals" in the vague, profile-filler kind of way. You're getting someone who will send you the update photos, learn your dog's weird quirks or your cat's exact opinion of strangers, and treat your critter like my own — because that's the whole job.

Zohe took excellent care of our dog. She made sure she got plenty of exercise, cuddles, and play time. She also kept me updated with pictures and notes to keep me at peace knowing she was doing so well.
Zohe was wonderful! Smokey seemed to have a blast at her house and she sent frequent updates/ photos. Everything an anxious dog mom can ask for. Very thankful for Zohe and would ask her for help again.
Zohe took very good care of our fur baby, with regular updates and photos. She obviously cared about our dog and we felt so much better knowing she was safe and sound while we were out of town. Will definitely have Zohe watch our dog in the future!
I’m so grateful for Zohe — she is an absolute rock star! She went above and beyond taking care of my cat, Rocket, over a weekend of crazy rain and stormy weather. She showed up every day as promised and made sure Rocket was safe, comfortable, and got his daily dose of snuggles. Knowing she was keeping such a close eye on him gave me incredible peace of mind while I was traveling. I especially appreciated the daily photos she sent, which let me see for myself just how cozy my kitty was during the storm. When I got home, Rocket was happy and calm, which says everything about the level of care he received while I was away. I’m so grateful for Zohe’s dedication and attentiveness to my little fur baby. I would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate pet sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Zohe is incredibly kind, responsible, and dependable. We work together in the events industry, and I’ve seen firsthand how caring and reliable she is. She’s gentle, attentive, and truly kind to all creatures, always giving back to her community.

Schedule
As someone who's self-employed, I have the flexibility to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I recently said goodbye to my beloved companion, and while I'm not quite ready to welcome a new furry friend into my own home yet, caring for other people's pets has been incredibly meaningful. It keeps me connected to what I love most while giving me the chance to shower someone else's best friend with all the love and care they need.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a cozy casita with a secure, fenced patio area—perfect for outdoor playtime and fresh air. Since I work from home, I'm around throughout the day, which means your pet gets plenty of companionship and supervision. I'm also an active person who loves getting out, so regular walks to the park, beach, or around downtown are part of my routine. Your furry friend will get both the comfort of a home environment and the adventure of exploring Santa Barbara's best spots.
A typical day
Fetch, sniff-heavy walks, backyard zoomies, and the occasional downtown adventure for the social pups. For cats, wand-toy chases on their terms — and a lap to nap on when they'd rather just supervise.
