Ryan was very flexible and great with Zoey. Zoey went on many outings and was well cared for. I appreciated the pictures and updates. Zoey had a blast and was sad to leave. Ryan is very friendly and easy to work with.

About: I’m a mom of two and an experienced dog owner of over 20 years. Dogs have been part of my life for my entire adult life, and I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. In the past, I’ve owned multiple dogs at a time and was comfortable caring for them all together. I have a gentle, friendly Labrador Retriever who enjoys having canine company, and my two kids are kind, respectful, and love animals. I will be the primary caretaker for your pet, and I focus on making each dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away. I’m mostly a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide lots of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I do leave the house for a few hours on three mornings each week, but otherwise I’m home and available to care for your dog’s needs, including playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and cuddles. I live in a single-family home with a large, fully fenced grassy backyard that’s perfect for safe play and exercise. Dogs are treated like part of the family and are always supervised. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s part of their routine, or they’re welcome to sleep on a dog bed in the living room—whatever helps them feel most comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, loving, and secure environment for every dog in my care.

Rebecca is wonderful! She took great care of JJ (my pup) and made me comfortable and happy to have a happy place for him to stay. I have a 110-120 lb pup that I have not left with anyone other than family and close friend since his sister passed away, and Rebecca made both me and JJ feel comfortable right away. She asked great questions, let JJ explore his new surroundings, had wonderful, calm energy, was thoughtful about helping JJ have a routine similar to his usual, and sent lots of pictures and notes during the day so I could see how he was doing. Her place is set up well for a dog, with a fenced yard and ability to be inside and outside. I highly recommend Rebecca, and hope JJ can stay with her again next time I need a sitter.

About: I thoroughly love every second of sitting through Rover! I love meeting all of the fun little characters, and taking them on adventures. Dogs who stay with me can expect beach trips, hikes, and runs to keep them exercised and occupied (of course adjusted to their needs and abilities!). I'm currently building my own digital marketing business from home, so I can give visitors my full supervision and frequent bathroom breaks. We have a fenced in yard that they will love! I love cats and have tons of experience sitting and volunteering with them! Unfortunately, my partner is allergic to them, so I can't host them at my house. I am happy to house sit for cats! Need sitting for a different type of animal? I have pet ducks so I can relate - feel free to reach out to see if I can help with your specific pet sitting needs :) I work from home, so I am widely available to care for your pets! I am able to work on weekdays and weekends for as short or as long as you need! I have a fenced yard for your pets to play in safely! I work from home so pets will have lots of fun and supervision.

I'm so happy that I found Honey! She and her pup Rosie were a great match for Bucky. Honey sent photos and updates often, and was very quick to respond. She was intuative with Bucky's needs and I knew he was in great hands. She has a comfortable home and bed that Bucky didn't want to get out of. This is my first experience on this app and I have no hesitation leaving Bucky with her in the future. Thanks again honey! A++

About: I grew up with dogs and have 3 years of professional dog caretaking experience - I worked at an animal hospital in the boarding department taking care of dogs (giving meds, feeding, nail trims, and daycare). Most recently, I worked at a local grooming salon. I am available most days as I have a remote job that is very flexible. I currently don’t have my dog with me, she’s with my dad in Oregon. I take my clients very seriously and treat the animals as if they are my own. I always send updates and pictures every day/multiple times a day. I’ve used rovers for my own dog so I understand what it’s like having our fur babies with someone else! Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have! I’d love to meet your animals! I can take as much time as you need, I miss being active and working with dogs on a daily basis so would love to help other dog owners as much as possible:) My roommate has a small friendly dog so daycare and boarding in my home must be cleared by him. But I have the master bedroom and we have a gated backyard in a nice neighborhood

About: I grew up with the responsibility of taking care of my family dogs growing up, so they have always been a big, loving part of my life. As an adult, I have lived with 3 different dogs and have helped raised two from pups. I am always the go-to dog sitter for all my friends when they are out of town since I live a very active lifestyle. I’m always out for walks on the town (or runs) if that is your dogs cup of tea. I absolutely adore doggos and would treat yours as if they are my own! I am a musician in town and work sporadically playing shows on the weekends. My schedule during the week is super flexible as I am home writing/working on music. I run/walk daily and can accommodate these to your pets schedule with ease. I live with my boyfriend in 3 bedroom apartment with a small yard out back. He is also a dog-lover and was as excited as me for signing up for this app! My landlords do not have an issue with there being dogs on property. We are a short walk to the Mission Park in Downtown Santa Barbara.

About: I grew up on a farm in Iowa with lots of pets! I especially love dogs and would take care of yours like it’s my own. I live up the street from shoreline park so lots of room and space for zoomies! I work from home which gives me a really flexible schedule. I’m able to be with your pup 24/7 and take walks or potty breaks whenever needed. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy runs or walks with dogs of all energy levels. Because I work from home, I can also provide plenty of companionship, cuddles, and attentive care especially for older dogs who may need a calmer pace. I’m highly experienced with dogs and always mindful of safety around other animals on walks. My home provides a secure, comfortable space for your pet with no other animals.
