“We returned to Timothy to watch our dog, and again so incredibly happy with him. He's thoughtful and our dog was so happy to be with him. Timothy is a pleasure to work with.”

“As our first Rover experience, Lauren exceeded every expectation. She is smart, kind, extremely responsible, and took excellent care of our dog Buddy. Lauren sent us videos and updates so we never had to worry about how Buddy was doing. I heartily recommend Lauren to anyone needing dog care. We are so happy we have found her!!”

“Jacqueline and Roland were wonderful with Remy. They were mindful of his needs and accommodated him beautifully. They sent me pictures to eliminate my anxiety and were always responsive. We had a great experience!”

“Ellen was amazing! my little dog needed medication administered and some special attention and Ellen handled it no problem. We highly recommend her and will have our little dog stay with her next time we leave!”

“Ryan is loveable and the ultimate animal person. His house is completely animal friendly and he makes sure I don't have to worry about my dog. Ryan takes everything in stride and also just a great human being. House is secure and good parking for drop off and pick up. Everything was returned organized. Only thing is now my dog is spoiled...or more spoiled hahaha”

“Lynn and Marty did a great job with Milo :) I had a last minute trip to Santa Barbara and they were very accommodating. I received consistent updates and photos throughout the day and Milo had a great time playing in their backyard. Will definitely book again!”

“Damian is the best! He has looked after our dog for over three weeks while we were away, and he cares for her just like his own dog. Sprite gets daily excised and fun time, and we receive frequent updates on her. Will go back to Damian again!”

“Cavi was in good hands with James. He sent photos and videos and even FaceTimed us one day :) lots of walks and a private back yard for her to run around in too! 100% recommended.”

“Haven and Mike were wonderful with our cat Gizmo. Super quick to respond to all my messages, and they helped Gizmo feel at home even though she was a little nervous at first. We would definitely book Haven and Mike again!”

“We couldn't be happier with Jacob’s care for our dog, Yogi! He was amazing from start to finish—super communicative, consistently checked in with updates and adorable photos, and made sure Yogi stayed active and well-loved. Yogi came back happy, tired, and clearly had a great time. It's such a relief to know our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”

“Kapri did everything that we asked and our pup was so happy when we got home stress-free when we got there looked like he was protecting the house. He already made himself home. I’m glad he had such a great time. I will definitely be using Kapri again.”

I follow their routine, give them plenty of love, and make sure they feel secure, happy, and comfortable at all times. As a life long animal advocate, dog rescuer and trainer your pups will be in the very best hands!
“Owen was our first experience on Rover and we don't think it could have been any better. He took our reservation with very short notice and was very accommodating the entire way. We were able to enjoy an amazing wedding in Montecito as our Van was in the best hands. Owen sent us several photos and was very flexible when we came back a little late. He even let my date change into her dress when we dropped Van off! Will definitely use Owen when we are in the are again and would recommend his service without hesitation. Thanks Owen ? ?”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I have been the age of 5 and I have taken care of my friends dogs in my neighborhood making sure they are walked and feed. I am currently enrolled in Santa Barbara city college and I am free on fridays through sundays all day and am free anytime after 2 pm on mondays and Wednesday. I love taking my dog, my friends dogs out for walks and making sure they get exercise. I love going to the beach and going on walks. I make sure my dog has toys and water and all times and take her out to go potty whenever she wants to.
“Kayla bravely agreed to take our 8 month old Australian Shepherd for 2 nights and days while we attended family wedding events. She handled her beautifully and our puppy loved her time. Puppy came back calm and happy. Kayla is very "dog knowledgable". She communicates clearly - asks questions about what would be OK for puppy. It made such a difference to us to know the great treatment she gave to our "teenage dog". We will ask for Kayla whenever we come. Our dog is crate trained, which helped I am sure.”

About: I have two sweet dogs, Scarlett and Sky. They are both great with other dogs and love to play. Scarlett is a chihuahua/Pomeranian mix, and Sky is an Aussie/lab mix. We love going on hikes and the beach! I’m a finance professional and am currently taking a break, so have some free time. I love long walks and am really great with dogs! We have a clean and comfy home. We also have a small backyard/patio area with a doggie door, so the dogs can access it whenever they want.
“Thank you for being so flexible with Nora’s drop off and pick up! I really appreciated your willingness to work around our complicated travel schedule! Thank you for being so sweet to Nora and sending us updates!”
