Kathleen was super easy to communicate with and responsive. She jumped in to help us on very short notice when other cat care plans fell through. We felt comfortable knowing she had everything taken care of, and her daily check-ins were welcome reassurance that all was well while we were away.

Trustworthy, timely and great with my pets, I highly recommend Cassandra. She walks my 2 dogs regularly while I am at work, and when I am out of town, does a great job of checking in on our dogs, as well as our 2 indoor cats. Cassandra is a gem!

About: I have had many years of experience working closely with animals. Apart from owning cats and dogs all my life, I have had the opportunity to work at some shelters and wildlife retreat in Santa Barbara. I have owned small and large dogs and feel comfortable with both. My home is very much pet-friendly and have a huge backyard for your furry friend. I would love to walk your four-legged friends there! It is important for me to always provide them with fresh water and make my home as comfortable as I can for them to stay at. Animals give me so much joy and I only hope to return the favor to them as well. I am available most days and weekends! I work from home and take daily walks. Since I am able to take frequent breaks I love spending my spare time with furry friends. It is important for me to make sure they know I am a guest in their home. So I would stick with their home routine. If they are staying at my home I will stick to their schedule as well, whether your dog likes to lounge in the sun or get some exercise in. I have an acre backyard, please see image of husky running in my backyard. Dogs and cats love our yard because there is so much room to play with!

About: I have owned a dog, cat, hamster, and fish. All lived long lives and I rescued a kitten at 3 weeks old who is now 1 year old. I have a flexible schedule and can fit in walks and/or check ins at any point of the day. Just need an hour heads up. My cat is an indoor cat but I do give her supervised back yard time. I clean her litter box daily and alway ensure her water is full. She has a timed dry food dispenser and gets wet food once a day. When my dog was alive I would take her on daily walks turned weekly when she got too old for her usual long walks. Our back yard was large enough where I didn’t have to do daily poop clean ups but every other day.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends for years. I’ve learned that pets have different needs and try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I work full time Mon-Fri but would be available to visit and provide care afterwards. I am flexible and available most weekends. Open to overnights. I respect the home I’m visiting and will only access areas that are permitted. I also follow provided instructions to ensure pets don’t get stressed.

Ben took care of my husky Ana for many years. He was always very responsible and loving. He walked her, fed her and played with her. Ben is very gentle and caring and genuinely loved our dog. As she got older, I could trust him when we traveled because he has good judgement and would know what to do if she needed additional care.

Grace was wonderful with my kitty Rory. Rory can be very shy and she warmed up to Grace so quickly which made me feel so much better about leaving her in Grace’s hands. Grace is a wonderful communicator and sent me so many pictures and videos throughout her stay - it was wonderful! Highly recommend Grace to watch any of you pets :)

We had the pleasure of having Penny as our house and pet sitter, and we couldn’t be more impressed! She took exceptional care of our dog, Bocce, ensuring he was happy, well-exercised, and loved. Penny walked him regularly, and we could tell from the pictures and updates that he enjoyed every moment with her. Bocce is a one-year-old, big puppy, and Penny was good at working with his puppy needs and all that puppy energy. When we returned home after our three-week vacation, we found our house in perfect condition—spotless and tidy. Penny clearly went above and beyond in maintaining everything, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was looking after our pet and home. We highly recommend Penny to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible sitter!
