Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Montecito Park

“Karen was great with my senior boy cat Batman. She sent pictures and updates everyday and I felt at peace knowing that he was doing fine. Karen will be my go-to person if I need a pet sitter for my next trip.”

“Tomoko is a very qualified and compassionate caregiver. She and my dog, Daisy hit it off right away and now Daisy has a new best friend. Tomoko completed all of the tasks requested with love and joy. I will definitely be calling on her again. I trust her very much and I know my little Daisy does too. I find that to be so valuable, especially in today’s day and age. If I had more room I could give her even greater accolades. But I hope this review expresses my deep sense of peace, leaving Daisy with her and pleasure to utilize her services.”

About: I grew up with two dogs and currently have a cat, so I have years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My dogs are still an important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you're away. 🐾 I'm a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and check ins while making sure pets receive the care and companionship they need. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 For drop in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow each pet's routine by providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or taking dogs out for potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always respect your home's rules and make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before leaving. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer approach, I adapt to their needs to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾🐶🐱

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember, from growing up with a cat to horseback riding, owning a horse, helping care for other people’s horses, walking friends’ dogs and having dogs of my own, including a German shepherd and two dachshunds.

“Jane is super top notch!!! I can’t recommend her enough. It can be a little nerve-wracking to be out of the country for over a week, however my mind was at ease regarding my pets and my home. Jane was very consistent with her high-quality care and communication, with regular updates that didn’t leave anything up to assumption. I always knew what was getting done, with any questions or concerns being quickly addressed. Jane spent extra time playing with our 4-month old kitten who was alone at home for the first time. The amount of thought and care she put in was extremely evident and appreciated. Her demeanor was always calm, easy-going, friendly, and to-the-point. She went above and beyond. Don’t think twice about hiring Jane to keep your loved ones happy and safe!”

About: Over the years I have taken care of my family, friends and of course my own animals. I have had experience with a majority of dog breeds. I have taken care & bottle fed puppies and kittens and given medication to dogs. When I am caring for your fur family, I will follow your schedule and any commands you may be trying to teach. I am kind, patient, caring and will keep your pup safe and happy. I love walking, playing, and will show your pup lots of love. My senior dog can’t play much any more so I would love to have some awesome dogs I can walk, play with, and keep company awhile you are away. I work two jobs, so your pup may be alone between four to six hours but I ALWAYS keep families updated with my schedule and of course lots of pictures. I currently do not provide care in my home. So I always follow your house rules. I make sure not only is your animals safe and cared for but also your home.

“Brittany did a great job taking care of our two cats when we were gone for a week. She stopped by every day at the same time and sent updates and photos. She was very amenable to taking in the mail and putting our trash cans back after trash day, which I appreciated. Would definitely request her again.”
