About: Caring for animals & the homes they live in is something I take seriously. For more than five years, my family & I have cared for dogs of every age & personality, from energetic puppies to senior companions needing gentle, attentive care. I work primarily from home as a consultant, allowing me to spend much of the day with the pets in my care while maintaining their normal routines. I’m an early riser who values consistency, so feeding schedules, walks, medications, and daily rituals are followed carefully to help pets feel relaxed and secure. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I treat every home with the same care, discretion, and respect I would my own. My goal is for you to return to a peaceful home and a happy, well-cared-for pet, knowing everything was handled thoughtfully while you were away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can travel with confidence.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember! 🐾 I’ve had dogs since I was about 6 years old, and growing up, my sisters and I always had a fur baby (or two… or five!) to love. 🩷 I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been a huge part of my life—from dogs and guinea pigs to bunnies, birds, goats, and chickens! I truly love being around animals and getting to know all their different personalities. Your fur baby will be treated like family while they’re with me—with lots of love, attention, playtime, belly rubs, and plenty of cuddles (if they’re into that 😉). My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶💕 I work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your fur baby the attention, love, and care they deserve! 🐾 I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles, while still being around to keep them company. I love having animals around while I work, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day! 🩷 I have a sweet 11-month-old puppy named Aria who loves making new friends! 🐶💕 She enjoys playing with other dogs and would be happy to have some company, but I always make sure each dog is comfortable and gets the space and attention they need. I also have an extra-large crate available if your pup is crate-trained or needs some quiet time, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine and your instructions

About: I took care of my childhood dog since I was 13, and that was for around 4 years. I am open to learning new things in order for your dog to be happy. I’m planning on getting a part time job, so I’ll have more than enough time in the mornings and late afternoon to take care of your cutie! I will always make sure to follow client-specific rules for their pets in order to keep fur babies safe and comfortable during our time together.

About: As a sitter/walker I combine reliability and a genuine commitment to each dog’s/cat’s individual needs. I have experience training puppies, including reinforcing basic commands, leash manners, crate training. I have also worked with senior dogs and understand the additional patience, attentiveness, and comfort focused care they require. I am comfortable administering medication and following detailed care instructions to ensure pets stay healthy and safe. As a college student working part-time, I bring strong time management skills, responsibility, and dedication to every booking, treating each pet with the same level of care and consistency I would expect for my own. I am a student at Westmont College located in Montecito, CA . I have a very flexible schedule and would love to fill that time enjoying time and taking care of your animals! My pets are very cared for, they are treated like family because they are. You can trust that I will give every and any animal on my care the utmost respect and love, and I will always let owners know if I notice anything out of the ordinary.

About: Hi,I’m Maddy, an energetic, reliable pet sitter experienced with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I do patient walks, keep routines steady, and gives fun photo updates so you always feel at ease. I love making pets feel at home and owners feel at peace! I’m currently going to school part time so my schedule is pretty open! I always have time to squeeze in some nice evening walks or even morning ones as well! I keep all pets safe, happy and comfortable while following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and care. When playing in the backyard or front yard I always ensure all gates are closed.

“Another great visit with my kitties from attentive and detail oriented Cheryl! My two cats love when she visits and I feel safe and sound knowing they're getting the best care possible. Cheryl sends great photos also.”

“Basilia just cared for my cat Luna while I was away on vacation and she did a fantastic job. I loved the photos and the notecard updates. She even brought a laser pointer over to play when I informed her the batteries in mine had run out the day before I was set to leave. I would recommend her great care and look forward to booking her again in the future.”

About: I've taken care of my own dog for 7 years now. I walk a dog for a woman and we communicate frequently about her wants and needs for her dog. I also have experience in professional cooking and cleaning so I often help her with things in her home such as refilling dog food, bringing in trash cans, and making her bed. I am a current Westmont student. With an appreciation for open communication and understanding for unexpected schedule changes. I work with and understand any client schedules and their needs for flexibility as well. I frequently bathe, feed, and walk my own dog. As well as the other dogs that I walk. Making sure they are their happiest and healthiest. Making any adjustments to diets or walk times that are needed.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, and have professional experience working with dogs. I take a patient, educational approach to animal care and training, and believe building trust is an important first step. I'm happy to work with you to ensure I'm meeting the needs of your pet. Please let me know what your expectations are concerning frequency of walks, play time, or other enrichment activities. I do work a part time job Wed-Sun from 9-2. I have taken care of both cats and dogs in clients' homes, and am flexible when it comes to a pet's needs. Whether your young pup needs some play time, or your older dog needs meds and a slow wander through the neighborhood, I'm happy to join them on their adventures.

“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.”

“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 previously lived with two dogs one small and blind and the other a medium sized puppy and also one cat. I have reliably taken care of multiple of my friends pets. I am a full time student that has a flexible mostly virtual schedule that allows me to go on walks with pets and stay home with them as well. I fall in love with every pet I meet and am likely to treat your pet like they have been in the family for years. I live right across the street from a dog park.

About: I have played with Dobermans, swam with Golden Retrievers, went on hikes with Poodles, cuddled with Yorkshire Terriers. I have always taken excellent care of animals my whole life. I have a some weekdays available and most weekends I’m free and happy to assist you by taking great care of your pet while you are away! I will follow your instructions and use my best educated decisions to care for your animals. I have experience with and understand that some animals might need very personalized care.

About: I have been relied on by friends and neighbors to walk, feed, socialize, and love on their pups for the last five years! Experience with dogs began with my own dog on the ranch I grew up at and since have house sat, walked, and done daily check ins for dogs when life gets a bit too busy. I am a full time engineer, starting work at 4am during the week. Depending on my meeting schedule, daily evening and/or afternoon walks are perfect. Every couple of hour check ins generally fit in my schedule too. I am home fairly early in the evenings and can house sit most nights of the week (especially weekends). Whatever your pet’s standard routine is, I will match it! I attempt to not disrupt their daily lifestyle. Their usual sleeping arrangements, meal times, and exercise habits will be as normal.

About: I have experience working with cats, dogs, birds, horses, hamsters, etc. I have lived with 4+ pets my entire life & have had a few long-term house sitting gigs (5+ years). I feed, play, & walk all animals. I tidy up the house, bring in mail, water plants, and bring down trash cans. I am skilled at dealing with unruly animals, training young pets, dealing with pets off-leash at parks, beaches, and hikes. I have reliable transportation, and am able to take animals to local vets if needed. I am currently a part-time student & am searching for a part-time job. I have a very open schedule at the moment, and I am in SB almost everyday. I have 6 pets of my own that I will need to check in on once or twice a day, but I am able to be very dedicated to your pets and their needs. My home has two fenced in yards, I also live next to a park that is not super busy. I am able to let my own dogs off leash at said park! I live in a quiet neighborhood, on a cul-de-sac. There are a lot of neighborhood cats, and a few dogs. We do not get coyotes, or mountain lions, we do spot the occasional raccoon and opossum though!

About: Ever since I was little i’ve always had family pets and constant foster puppies. From this experience i’ve learned plenty on how to approach an animal in a safe loving open way, and even as far as bottle feeding , correct diet, a little bit of simple training, and walking experience. I can guarantee you your animals are safe in my care, if not over-loved. I work a part time job at petco on weekends and weekdays. I occasionally volunteer with pets on weekends depending on my open availability. I also am a college student and have classes only in the mornings Tues-Thursday, only ever as long as 4 hours total. Other than class and work I am open and flexible to you and your schedule/convenience. Growing up with cats and dogs really opened me up and got me very comfortable with all and every animals. I’ve learned very important aspects as when and what an animal needs and why. I am here to follow your instructions and any specific details in terms of care you may need/request and have no problem conforming to whatever task may be asked of me. I can assure you I am more than capable of any animal big, small, energetic, played-back, or even sometimes mischievous. I personally like to think it’s easier for me to connect with animals then it may be with humans, which can guarantee you I am here for none other than the safety and care of your pet(s).

I’d love the chance to meet your furry friend! I work a full-time job from 8 to 5, but I’m available for evening and weekend walks or drop-in visits.
