About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have always been surrounded by dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love getting outside for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m an all-around animal lover and always treat every pet like my own! I work full-time during the week, but I’m available before and after work and can also stop in during my lunch break. I have more flexibility on weekends and am happy to work around your pet’s normal routine for walks, meals, playtime, and check-ins. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your pet’s routine and boundaries, and keep you updated while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets and home with the same attention and respect I would want someone to give mine.

About: I am a former kitten foster and also have precious dog sitting experience. I love animals so I will definitely give them the love and attention to feel secure when you are gone. I recently moved to San Diego and am looking for animal friends! I would never treat an animal differently than a way I would treat a human. They are equals in my eyes and I really just like to love them! Your animals would not be lonely or neglected at all in my care. I do not have any animals of my own currently so they would have plenty of one-on-one time with me. I have experience with puppies and neonatal kittens, as well as older dogs and cats. I won’t let you or your pet down :) I recently quit my job as I am starting Physician Assistant school in September so I have plenty of free time these days. Trying to make some money in the interim and figured this is right up my alley. I have a fenced in yard and one fluffy male resident tuxedo cat that has been with me through most of my fosters. He was a foster fail and the sweetest! He gets along with both cats and dogs. I keep my house clean and only have pet safe plants!

About: I was a nanny over the last several years and always easily got acquainted with whichever household pets came with my jobs. I am confident with animals and easily make a connection. I am gentle and kind and I’ve never had had a problem with any animals, I have run into or cared for. I currently just moved back to Santa Barbara and do a little pet sitting already. But I’m looking to expand my platform. I have an open schedule and want to have a Part-time job that I enjoy doing. I am happy to provide, whichever services are needed per sitting. If that means, it’s a walk, feeding, overnight, just some friendly attention or etc, I am more than happy to provide anything.

“Clara is so sweet and communicative. She sends pictures and updates. She’s flexible and happy to make adjustments as needed.”

“Stefanny was lovely to work with, she responded quickly to a last-minute booking request, and sent lots of photos of our senior cat while we were away. She gave us peace of mind that our cat was cared for, getting her medication, and eating well while we were gone.”

“Excellent care! Would highly recommend Damian. We have a boxer with degenerative myopathy who struggles with her back end. He did drop in visits helping her with potty breaks and keeping her company. She got comfortable with him pretty quick and he did a wonderful job. He even helped out when our stay at home person had a medical emergency. I felt like I had someone I could trust while we were away.”

About: As a devoted feline parent to four cats whom I’ve raised since they were tiny kittens, I know firsthand that cats aren’t just small dogs—they have distinct personalities, subtle communication styles, and specific routines that deserve dedicated attention. Having guided my own cats through every life stage—from high-energy kittenhood to grounded adulthood—I understand the shifting needs, quirks, and health considerations that come with growing up. What truly sets my care apart is my proactive commitment to feline wellness. To give cats the best life possible, I have invested significant time educating myself on cat behavior, environmental enrichment, low-stress handling, and feline care best practices. Whether your companion is an outgoing explorer, an energetic teenager needing structured playtime, or a shy soul who prefers gentle company from a safe distance, I cater to their emotional and physical comfort on their terms. Pet sitting is going to take a main role in my weekly routine. I plan on caring for your pets anytime of the day that they need and be flexible and available to meet all of your pet sitting and cat needs. I have four indoor cats so I know the importance of keeping doors closed and making sure to make visual contact with all cats before leaving the home. Keeping your companion safe and inside their home is my highest priority.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life! I’ve had three dogs (german shepherd, pitbull, lab) and three cats. I have experience with very high energy, fun, loving dogs and it’s never to much.😉 Being around these animals for so long, I’ve gotten experience accommodating diet needs, medicinal needs, even surgery recovery. Any animal you can think of I’ve probably taken care of! I love my babies with everything in me and I’ll love yours just as much! I can wait to meet you and them! I’m available every day of the week! I can accommodate early mornings, late nights, whatever you need! I primarily work my current job in early afternoons but even that is open at times. I am always attentive and alert when taking care of another’s pet. Being that my dogs have gone through multiple surgeries I’ve learned to observe mannerisms to help and accommodate pets as best I can!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have a natural knack for connecting with them. I grew up with dogs, cats, the occasional rodent and I have previously pet-sit and dog walked for friends. I have had pets of all ages and am comfortable administering meds if needed. I have a very open and flexible schedule, though I occasionally teach scuba diving on the weekends. Because my hours vary, please check my Rover calendar to confirm availability. Because I provide care directly in your home and neighborhood, your pet's safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. • Home & Leash Safety: I always double-check that doors, windows, and gates are securely locked when entering or leaving your home. When we are out on a walk, your dog will remain securely leashed at all times, and I maintain a high awareness of our surroundings to avoid any stressful interactions with other animals or traffic. • Constant Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos from our walks or drop-in visits so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. • Emergency Preparedness: Before our first booking, we will complete a Meet & Greet to review your pet’s exact routine. I will ask for your primary vet's details, emergency contacts, and clear instructions for your pet’s specific medication schedules if required.

About: -Taken care of animals my whole life (cats,dogs,goats,chicken, etc) -Administered medicine/oral injections -Currently 7 cats at home -Experience with dog and cat sitting -Love being active with animals I’m currently a part time student with classes in the mornings usually only 3 days a week. I’m looking to help out during the day, at night, or overnight. I’ve been pet sitting for many years and have been entrusted with the care of many pets. I also have a lot of experience with my own animals and taking care of them.

“Grace was a pleasure to have look after our two cats. She was punctual, communicative, and took great care of the cats. I would be happy to have her watch our pets again.”

Bailey H.

“The level of care and attention to detail that Ilana provided was outstanding. She went above and beyond, ensuring that Korra was not only well-fed and exercised but also happy and comfortable. It was such a relief to know that our dog was in such good hands. We highly recommend Ilana to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you, Ilana, for taking such wonderful care of Korra!”

About: I have always pet and house sat for neighbors, family friends, my family. I am a home body and enjoy watching over and protecting people's homes and beloved animals while they are away. I am always apprehensive leaving my pets alone with a stranger, that is why I strive to make people feel safe and comfortable. I have always been an animal person and have done pet-sitting as a favor to people. I figured, now as a nineteen year old, why not make it a nice little side hustle to earn some extra money for college. I live in Solvang California and I work a part time job on the weekdays. Other than that I can walk dogs, do drop in visits and I can stay in your house to watch over your animals. Each pet is unique, I appreciate when owners walk me through their routine, leave notes and emergency contact info, if anything were to happen. I want to make both the animals and owners comfortable, and like everyone to be on the same page. Communication is very valuable.

“Katherine is fantastic! Very communicative and I can tell she cares a lot about all of the animals she watches. My cat was upset that I was out of town but she did everything she could to help him be more comfortable. Thank you, Katherine, for taking such great care of my boy!”

“Thank you Audrey! She communicated in a timely manner and was so helpful when I was in a pinch.”

About: I have taken care of all types of pets since I was a child. i have been adopted by Oliver and Dozer (my rescuers) through KPAL -Kenai Peninsula Animal Lovers. I have Oliver & Dozer a pair of bonded brothers. We are now in Carpinteria, CA and have joined an extended family of pets, Mia (a 12-year-old Sheppard mix, and Buddy an 8-month-old Sheppard mix). We are situated on a large property with plenty of room for our multiple daily walks. I am flexible and am able to work around almost any schedule. We can accommodate for almost any situation. let’s have a discussion and i will adjust my schedule to care for our four-legged friends. I live on 9 acres, and the dogs will stay with me and my rescuers (Oliver & Dozer) in addition to Mia and Buddy. I monitor them at all times. We also take long walks near the home, sometimes visit the dog park, or go to the beach, I live down the road from Padaro state beach in Carpinteria.

About: Hi there! I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My parents weren't able to be the primary caregivers for our family dog and I was thrilled to take the lead anyway. I would feed, walk, bathe, and groom our first dog and I've never been without a dog in the past three decades. Now today I have an active 10 year old Chihuahua/Pomeranian named Tommy and a 15 year old Pomeranian named Stella, so I'm especially comfortable with small breeds and senior dogs who need a slower pace or just more patience in general. But I'm just as happy with dogs of most sizes and energy levels. I also have experience with administering medication of all types - liquid, pills, and eye drops. My schedule is flexible because I'm self employed. I can work around early mornings, midday drop ins, evenings, or last minute requests. Every walk and visit comes with an update and pics. I know how reassuring it is to get these things when someone else is caring for your sweet pup. I treat every dog the way I'd want my own treated: on time, attentive and loving, and never rushed. I look forward to meeting your pup(s) and giving you the help you need! My schedule is super flexible. I'm self employed, married no kids, and usually up by 8 am most days although I can plan to be up earlier when needed. All this said to assure you I have ample time to walk and play with your pups, and no distractions that would divert my attention either. I'm pretty active and regularly go on runs and hikes in addition to regular walks with my own pups. I can keep up with your pups, no problem. As for drop ins, I'm respectful of personal space and you can trust me to be in your home. Please share anything specific your pups needs or may want during a visit and I'll be happy to help (within reason of course).

“Julia was great! She was kind and caring to my cute lil cat Pacha, was very communicative, and she followed instructions well! I would definitely book with her again!”
