About: I'm fortunate to have cared for animals since childhood and find true joy in treating others pets as my own. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on my consistency, responsibility and compassion when they need someone to look after their babies. I am very comfortable with multiple animals, senior care and challenging personalities. I am able to remain calm in chaos and understand the importance of communication. My three-year old German Shepherd mix, Pharaoh, keeps me on my toes and engaged with the latest in pet parent world! Currently in between jobs which allows me to be flexible depending on the needs of the client and their pets. While I do have my own boy dog, Pharaoh, our routine can be adjusted without issue. I will follow the exact instructions needed and am very communicative in terms of sending photos, videos and ensuring there are no disruptions to a pets routine. I have a deep understanding of how important consistency is to building trust with an animal and will do everything required to make sure both the client and their baby feel safe and at peace.
“Steven is great. He took excellent care of our big girl while we were out of town. He came over beforehand and made sure he knew everything he needed to. He sent photos and updates during every visit. He was friendly and trustworthy. We'll be requesting his services again and would highly recommend him!”

About: We have 2 friendly, large, high energy pups and recently decided to offer boarding after we went away for a weekend and experienced how hard it was to find great care for our girls. We hike/ take long walks daily & are happy to bring your pup along on our adventures! We are a dog-loving couple with 2 friendly dogs of our own. We are available for boarding and dog daycare throughout the week. Boarding includes a 3+ mile walk! I have a partially fenced yard & a fully enclosed patio where they can nap in the sun, plus two friendly dogs to keep your pup company and show them the ropes. We live close to great hiking areas & hike most mornings. Your dog is invited!
“Angelique was so helpful and patient. My dog is on crate rest and isn't a lot of fun to sit for right now. Angelique basically sat by her side for the entire visit.”

“Stephanie was great. We have a new dog who has special needs and severe separation anxiety, and Stephanie was caring, attentive, and patient. Will absolutely hire her again.”

About: As a pet owner myself, I'm all about making sure you and your pet feel comfortable and cared for! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. For pets with special needs, I attend to their specific health requirements, ensuring they receive the gentle care and attention they deserve. I am also very diligent about sending pictures and videos during my visit, so you can rest assured that your pet is safe, happy and properly cared for! My passion for animals drives me to create a loving and engaging environment for your pets, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, preferences, and routines, making every visit feel like home. I currently work from home and make my own schedule so I have plenty of time and flexibility to work with your schedule, between the hours of 8am-8pm. If you have special requests outside of these times, feel free to reach out and see if I can accommodate you. I understand that your pet's safety is a #1 priority. Because of this, I will follow all best practices with respect to safety and will diligently follow any specific and special instructions that the pet's owner may leave me with.

Montecito Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Gissell is a true gem! She is hard working, reliable, flexible, and a good communicator. Gissell has been caring for my 3 large-sized dogs for a while through easy times and hard times (e.g., when my senior dog was seriously ill, when I foolishly fostered 8 puppies). I couldn’t have asked for a more trustworthy, compassionate person to look after my family. Hire Gissell, and you won’t regret it!

If you're looking for someone to care for your cat like family, look no further!! You'll be lucky if you get to hire her. Big Rig (known affectionately as Iggy) is probably a lot like your cat. In other words, he's not just a cat—he's a furry little personality with opinions, routines, and a very specific standard of service. Kenya met all his demands. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat who clearly had not spent the weekend plotting my demise for abandonning him with a stranger. That's a huge success in cat-owner terms. From the moment I met Kenya for a "meet and greet," I knew Iggy was in caring and capable hands. Kenya immediately appreciated Iggy's quirks, respected his boundaries, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Knowing that Big Rig was safe, comfortable, and cared for allowed me to actually enjoy my trip instead of worrying about what kind of chaos a bored feline genius might be creating at home. Kind, reliable, thoughtful—I couldn't ask for a better person to look after Iggy. Five stars from me, and if Big Rig could write reviews himself, he'd probably give six.

Sabrina took great care of my two dogs, and was very responsible and responsive. She sent me regular photo and written updates, and had strong and reliable communication. I had peace of mind knowing she was taking care of my dogs while I was traveling, and highly recommend her!

Wanyao was absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Jasper! She is incredibly easy to communicate with and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. We loved getting constant photo updates of Jasper throughout the day. It gave us so much peace of mind seeing how happy he was. We highly recommend Wanyao and will definitely book with her again!

Steven is great. He took excellent care of our big girl while we were out of town. He came over beforehand and made sure he knew everything he needed to. He sent photos and updates during every visit. He was friendly and trustworthy. We'll be requesting his services again and would highly recommend him!

Hannah was a wonderful sitter for both of our kitties while we were out of town for two weeks! She ensured we were up to speed on our cats and was super communicative all throughout the booking. Appreciated her flexibility on some last minute booking changes and would definitely be looking to rebook her in the near future 🙂
