“Steph is so great with my dog! Firm but kind which my doodle needs and happy to keep up with training. She is responsible, communicative, friendly, easy to work with. My pup gets plenty of fun exercise and TLC while with Steph. Highest recommendation.”
“Cheryl stayed in our home with our active dog Kona while my husband and I were on vacation. We loved receiving pictures and updates of Kona while we were away. We returned home to a happy dog and beautifully well kept house. We are thrilled to have found Cheryl and would recommend her highly!”
“We were in Santa Barbara for a dinner party and needed a sitter for Jerry. The request was last minute but Chase made it so easy and effortless Jerry loves Chase immediately and was totally comfortable staying at the hotel room with Chase. We could not be happier with Chase and we’ll certainly rebook Chase next time we’re in Santa Barbara!”
“OUTSTANDING! If you want someone is caring, loving, responsible, trustworthy, and fun to watch over your pets & home….Crispin is the one! We 100% recommend choosing her to hire!”
“I am giving Rover.Com & Lisa 10+ STARS. Lisa loves animals. Our dog, Winston, had a good time with Scout (Lisa's puppy). They had a blast together. Winston is a Portuguese Water Dog (55 lbs) and loves people & other dogs. Winston stayed at Lisa's place, not at our home, because we were having our daughter's wedding in a destination place. Our home was far away, and we wanted Winston to go on the 5 hour drive with us and stay near by the wedding site. So, I went on Rover and asked to locate someone in Carpinteria. I found Lisa from Rover.Com living just up the road from the wedding site. Lisa took Winston and Scout to the beach, the park, everywhere and I do not think they were ever bored. Winston had a great time. Lisa always sent photos, and she always responded immediately if you text her. Our beach house rental did not allow pets, so Lisa was my rescue. Winston was just 8 minutes away from where we were staying. It was perfect. Breathtaking surroundings where Winston stayed. Winston and I thank you so very much. You made myself and my family feel comfortable leaving Winston with you while we were busy planning the wedding. You are the BEST. - nancy-”
“We went away to visit our daughter. There are only 2 people we trust our dogs with when we are away. Dario is one of them. Thanks for caring for our fur babies as if they are your own! Archie and Lennon love Dario!”
“Mariah was incredible watching my Ruby. She clearly is a dog person and treats dogs with so much love and respect. She took her on all sorts of outings, to the dog park, on walks, and totally rolled with the more high maintenance parts of a frenchie. She sent tons of updates and even washed something my dog had an accident on. I would (and plan to) her again in a heartbeat!”
“Grace was an amazing dog sitter for us during our stay in Santa Barbara. It was our first time using Rover so we were not super prepared on our dog sitting directions, but she went above and beyond in asking us specific questions on the care of our dog and made sure to follow through on all directions that we’ve provided. She regularly sends updates of our dog and was quick to respond whenever we text her. We are very lucky to have Grace as our dog sitter and would recommend any dog parents to use her for their beloved pet(s).”
“Anny is absolutely wonderful!!! She recently watched Jams for us while on vacation and it makes our time away that much more relaxing! I highly recommend Anny!”
“Grace & Anthony were so patient with my special needs dog. By the middle of their stay, my dog warmed up and even slept with them which is very rare :) their communication was frequent and their photos were reassuring that my dog was having the time of his life with their company and care. Highly recommend!”
“Aliyah was great with our dogs! She arrived on time and sent us lots of update and pictures. We were definitely reassured that our dogs were in good hands and had someone to keep them company.”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was a young girl. I have experience and knowledge with a wide range of breeds, behaviors, and pet wellness. As someone who has raised and loved dogs throughout my life and is fortunate to have an Aunt who is a veterinarian, I believe I am uniquely qualified to care for other people's animals as well. I currently have a 30lb scruff named Lily who is a Griffon Verdeen mix and enjoys playing, napping, and going on long sniff walks. I always have her greet other dogs on a walk before letting them into the house so that both dogs can get their excitement energy out before the house sniffing begins. If you have any questions or special needs, please feel free to reach out and discuss them. I can currently work remotely, so my daily routine is adaptable to the needs of the day. I am available for walks throughout the day and check-ins. I have a fenced in backyard, friendly neighbors, a playful medium sized dog and a dog-friendly home. I also feel comfortable house sitting if that is a need as well.
About: I have been around dogs for 20 years including experience with 3 separate litters of puppies. I have experience training dogs and puppies along with watching and caring for dogs of friends and family. I am currently in a period where I do not have a full time job so I am able to accommodate most schedules. This includes overnight, weekday, weekend, etc. I am not currently looking to care for pets in my own home but am able to accommodate for any requests an owner may have. I have great background knowledge and a strong sense of maintaining a safe and respectful environment.
“Jenna did a great job for my dog Abby. Jenna was professional, followed directions, and kept me updated while I was away. I would recommend Jenna for any of your clients and I will try to schedule her again in the future.”

“caleb would be a fantastic pet and house sitter. He has grown up with dogs and puppies and has taken fantastic care of them. Animals are drawn to his calm and playful manner.He also is a very responsible person and notices things around him. Arrives on time and is super conscientious. he has a good head on his shoulder and uses wisdom in his decision-making . He’s also very focused and non-distracted .If a jib involves housesitting, he’s very clean and responsible. Once you get to know him, you would feel very confident in calling him repeatedly and resting assured that your pet is in good hands when you travel.”

Aariah helped me out with a last minute trip I needed to take and I’m so thankful she was available. She was communicative, responsible and let my apartment spotless. She loved on Missy and took such amazing care of her while I was away. Do not hesitate booking with Aariah!
We were in Santa Barbara for a dinner party and needed a sitter for Jerry. The request was last minute but Chase made it so easy and effortless Jerry loves Chase immediately and was totally comfortable staying at the hotel room with Chase. We could not be happier with Chase and we’ll certainly rebook Chase next time we’re in Santa Barbara!
Mariah was so amazing with my dog who had never been left with someone else before . My dog was safe and happy and in good care with Mariah. She is a doll and even sent us photos of our dog while we were gone . It’s the best feeling to know you picked the perfect person to care for your dog .. I’m so grateful I met her and will use her whenever I’m in Santa Barbara .
Ann went above and beyond caring for our cat Nico. She was incredibly flexible with our last minute schedule changes, kept our home spotless, and sent regular photo updates that gave us so much peace of mind. I highly recommend booking Ann. She is an outstanding Rover sitter and we will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future
Emily is the best dog sitter! She was easy to communicate with as we scheduled the dog sit dates and was great at letting us know how our fur baby was doing while she watched her. Emily not only took fabulous care of our dog by walking her and spending lots of time cuddling her, she took great care of our home. Emily is a top notch dog and house sitter!
Alana was so great! I couldn't recommend her enough. Our pup gets anxious and nervous around new people and she was so caring and understanding of our needs. I my wife and I were so happy to have her dog sit for us. She was so great at understanding our pups needs and was able to build rapport with our pup. We were happy to hear how well our pup loved her and was so comfortable with her while she dog sit and house sit for us. We will definitely use her again.
Beth did an incredible job watching over my girl Missy. She was communicative, responsive and left my apartment just as clean as I had left it. Missy was sleeping when I arrived home and I could tell she loved having Beth stay. I can’t recommend booking with Beth enough!
Caitlin did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two dogs. She would send us frequent updates, pictures, and videos of the pups and each time they both looked like they were having a blast. One of our dogs is somewhat high maintenance, and Caitlin had no problem dealing with her quirks. She also did an incredible deep clean of our entire house, which was not expected, but greatly appreciated. Caitlin is kind, responsible, and always quick to respond to messages. We would definitely recommend her to anyone, and we will absolutely be using her again in the future!
Charlie was amazing!! Charlie took care of Rumba at our apartment for 3 Days and 2 Nights. He has severe separation anxiety but did not have any issues with Charlie! We received pictures and updates and are having Charlie over again this weekend for another 3 Days and 2 Nights! Thank you!
Courtney was wonderful. We have a kitty (Smokey) that walks on a leash. He gets at least 2 walks a day, so we had her come 2x day for walks and then time in his outdoor Catio. Courtney used to walk her cat on a leash, so she was comfortable and competent walking him. Smokey can sometimes get over aroused when he is walking and she was really good at taking time to build trust and called me to get more suggestions on how to manage his walks and getting him in and out of the Catio. She sent pictures after each visit, including pictures of our cats food dish and litter box, which I thought was very professional. Our kitty was safe and well on our return. Courtney really cares and is very experienced with cats, but I imagine she would be great with all other creatures.
