Dog Boarding in Montecito

“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!”

“Our 12 month old vizsla LOVED Eve!! Our pup can be anxious when not with her family and has high energy needs. Eve was so caring and thoughtful with our pup. And took her on hikes which is our dogs favorite. Eve just might be our pups best friend now. :) would totally recommend Eve! She’s the best.”

“Deandra and her family took wonderful care of my 5 month old puppy over the holidays. Charlie stayed with Deandra for 10 days and was given so much care and attention. She loved playing with their dog in the front yard, which was great socialization and tuckered Charlie out! Deandra sent daily updates which made me feel comforted to leave her for an extended timeframe. I highly recommend Deandra and plan to book her again!”

“Alexandra and Billy were great! My dogs enjoyed meeting them before their boarding date. They were most accommodating, friendly, and I loved that they kept sending pictures and videos! They even took them to a holiday dinner add their friend's house with lots of other dogs to play with!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and especially puppies. I’ve personally trained two puppies from scratch, so I’m comfortable with the patience and consistency it takes to support a dog through their early years. I have a deep, intuitive connection with animals and often find I understand their energy and needs even better than people’s. I work for myself from home here in Santa Barbara, which means I have plenty of flexibility to give pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, belly rubs, or just a calm, safe space, I approach every animal with genuine care and a tender heart. I’m also very active, so long walks and outdoor time are a highlight for both me and the dogs I care for. I work for myself and from home, so my schedule is very flexible. That means I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs—whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I’ll always make time to give your pet the attention and consistency they deserve. Every animal is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual needs, energy, and comfort level. I’ll meet your dog or cat where they’re at—whether that means extra space, extra snuggles, or gentle structure—with clear, compassionate boundaries to keep them safe and happy. If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I live in a calm, pet-friendly apartment near Santa Barbara City College, with plenty of walkable paths and green spaces nearby. I love getting outside and take dogs on multiple long walks throughout the day. If your dog is social and has solid recall, I can bring them to local off-leash areas for supervised play and exploration. I have one small dog of my own—Pepper, a 3.5-year-old mixed breed who’s very friendly and well-socialized. I also have two young stepsons who are with us 50% of the time, so dogs staying in our home must be kid-friendly. The good news? Your dog will get plenty of love and attention from four caring humans. I’ve trained two of my own dogs from puppyhood and am confident managing a range of behaviors—from leash training to crate routines and basic obedience. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for senior pets or those with special needs. For cat care, I’m especially attuned to their unique rhythms and boundaries, and I provide calm, consistent care whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them during a stay. Whether I’m boarding, walking, or house sitting, your pet will be safe, respected, and genuinely cared for—just like family.

“Tony was great with our dog, Monty! He watched him for one week at his home. He took him on adventures everyday and sent pictures daily. We would 100% recommend Tony to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter.”

“Joseph truly is a dog lover, he shows it in his attitude and excitement for the dogs that he takes care of. Our dog looked happy in the pictures/video he sent and his space offers everything a dog could want. We look forward to having our dog go back to visit soon.”

“Svetlana was a dream and our little guy loved staying with her. They went on adventures, walks and had a lot of fun together. She sent us tons of videos and pictures to make sure we were updated. I can tell she adores dogs and takes really good care of them :)”

“Ryan was amazing with our Andy! We were super stressed looking for a place to stay with her as she just got adopted by us and a lot of people were hesitant about taking a dog straight from a shelter for a few days but Ryan did great with her and provided a ton of updates and photos and went above and beyond. We are so grateful for his help!!”

“Tory was wonderful with Nala! Nala loved her beginning with our meet and greet. Tory sent daily photos of Nala where I could see the smiles on her face and how comfortable she was in Tory’s company. Tory also took Nala on daily walks in different environments like the beach! I highly recommend Tory and look forward to Nala’s next stay with her.”

“My dog had such a great weekend with Jenni and Sawyer. I got daily updates with pics/videos and a description of their day. It's so nice to be able to go out of town and not worry about my dog. I would definitely use Jenni as a sitter again!”

About: Hello! We are a family of 4 (our girl is 8 and our boy is 12) that loves dogs!! We also have allergies so only hypoallergenic dogs please if you are booking for boarding or day care. We have one dog, and Aussie doodle, that is very social and loves having friends over! :) Dogs must be good with children, other dogs and have good manners. :) We have a nice big fenced yard for lots of outdoor play, a great neighborhood for walks, and we are also very close to the beach and mountains if you have an active dog that likes to get out and about. We can’t wait to love your sweet dog as our own and shower it with love and attention! We have flexible working-from-home schedules. Our kids are in a school schedule with extra time in mornings, evenings and weekends. We would love to welcome your dog as our own! We have a fenced yard. As long as the dog is hypoallergenic, we can have the dog in our home. We love snuggling and playing!

“Thanks Ada! I am so glad our tuna had fun kids to play with and a nice big yard to run around in. We very much appreciated the updates while we were away from our most precious pup! I will have to find out what new tricks the girls taught him. So far he seems happy to be home and cuddle. Thanks again for making everything about our trip so easy and for loving tuna so much. We will definitely call you when we need to go out of town again.”

About: I have been around dogs and other pets my whole life. When I was a kid, I walked dogs in our neighborhood, including my own. I used to have my own hedgehog, and have helped care for friends’ dogs and cats. I work part-time and have time during my days to stop in and spend time with your pets! Mornings are the most free for me, and I am not traveling much in the coming months, so I am available for overnights. I am a big fan of spending time with pets, and would love to follow all specific directions that you might have for the care of your pet.

About: I have cared for all animals, from dogs to reptiles to spiders! I love learning and caring for animals. Ones with energy are my favorite! I also love a good chill pet:) I work my animal care around my practies and class, I have 2 morning (6-8am) and 2 afternoon (11-2pm) practices a week, along with 2 evening classes on Tuesday Thursday (5-7pm). I have a good amount of time between my responsibilities for pet care! I live in an apartment so prefer to care out of home, would be happy to house a cat or small dog for a few days if needed!

“My super chill 6 year old goldendoodle, Brodie, had a wonderful week hanging out with Morgan and Seth and their good boy, Ruger. They gave him all the walks, beach time, love and petting he wanted and more. 10/10”
