“Stefanny is a gem! I feel so lucky to have found her on Rover while visiting Santa Barbara this month. Stefanny took such good care of my kitty while I was away for the weekend. I felt at ease knowing my kitty and home were in caring hands, especially knowing that she is a cat mama herself. Stefanny's energy is very calming and she asked thoughtful questions about my kitty's routine. She sent me daily photos and updates throughout the weekend which was much appreciated. I arrived home to a spotless home and happy kitty. I highly recommend Stefanny!!”

“Ellie was amazing with my kitty and senior doggo. She listened with care to all of my care instructions, sent detailed updates everyday, and was so gentle and caring with my girls. My senior dog struggles with incontinence and some medical issues, and Ellie helped her with grace and empathy. She met all of their needs and more, spending time in the sun with the girls and and offering pets and cuddles. She was also super responsive and flexible when I had some flight delays impacting my return, and had my place clean and tidy upon my return. 11/10, would recommend!”

“There’s nothing like knowing your beloved Pet is being well cared for in your absence. This is absolutely imperative that I not worry about my dog while I’m out there trying to have fun! Jessa and Justin did exactly that: freed my mind up so I could enjoy my time away. They are kind and loving towards animals and sent me update pictures while I was away. They are a blessing.”

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: Aside from growing up with dogs, cats, a rabbit, hamsters and pet rats, my dog experience spans since a child to present time. I’ve cared for many different breeds,, sizes, temperaments, ages and personalities. I volunteer at a local shelter, so I’ve been fortunate enough to work with dogs from different backgrounds and circumstances. Your pets well-being, safety and enjoyment are my passion and priority. I’m fortunate to work from home so it makes the dog caring experience flexible and attentive. It can be all day or a few hours as needed. I don’t have any pets, so the focus and care will be centered around your dog. I have a fenced yard and patio area for naps in the sun and bathroom breaks. If the sitting is done at the dogs own home, I can take my work with me and follow a routine that they are used to.

“Grace was an amazing dog sitter for us during our stay in Santa Barbara. It was our first time using Rover so we were not super prepared on our dog sitting directions, but she went above and beyond in asking us specific questions on the care of our dog and made sure to follow through on all directions that we’ve provided. She regularly sends updates of our dog and was quick to respond whenever we text her. We are very lucky to have Grace as our dog sitter and would recommend any dog parents to use her for their beloved pet(s).”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them is something I truly love! I especially enjoy getting dogs outside, whether it’s a relaxed walk or a fun, active adventure, I’m always happy to match their energy. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and I understand how much dogs mean to their families, so I treat every pup like my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, and plenty of tail wags! 🐾 I am currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup. I’m available throughout the week for walks and droppins and the weekends for sitting, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your dog’s needs. I’m reliable and make sure to stay consistent with routines so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I am committed to caring for your pet like my own, whether in your home or out on walks and adventures. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by following your pet’s routine, keeping a clean and secure environment, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I make sure your pet feels relaxed and happy while you’re away, and I’m always attentive to their individual needs and behavior. You can count on me to be responsible, communicative, and to provide updates so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.

This isn't always the case when someone new stays, so this is huge. Our house was left in perfect shape, and Deborah was great with communication and updates. We will absolutely look forward to using her again.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have loved having them in my life ever since. My family had Cocker Spaniels and Golden Retrievers, and later I adopted a mixed-breed dog of my own. Having my own dog taught me that every pup is different. Some are immediately affectionate and trusting, while others need a little more patience and time before they feel safe with someone new. I learned how important it is to pay attention to their cues, respect their boundaries, and let trust build naturally. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their person is away. I work remotely as a brand designer, so pet care fits very naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout most of the day and already take regular breaks to get outside and walk, which means plenty of opportunities for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. My schedule also gives me the flexibility to follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible. I know every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and routine, so I like to take the time to let them get comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow the care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any little routines that help your dog feel at home. When caring for a dog in my apartment, they’ll have a clean, comfortable, air-conditioned space and plenty of company since I work from home. When staying in a client’s home, I’m equally mindful and respectful of both their pet’s routine and their space. My goal is always for your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m calm, attentive, and dependable, and I treat every dog as an individual. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and preferences so they can feel comfortable and secure while their people are away. I understand that good pet sitting is about more than feeding and walks—it’s about being a trustworthy presence in your home, following your instructions carefully, communicating clearly, and giving your dog plenty of companionship and attention. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I offer a complimentary Meet & Greet in your home before your first booking so we can get to know each other, go over your dog’s routine, and make sure we’re a good fit. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive overnight care while still maintaining my regular commitments. I’m an early riser, so morning walks, breakfast, and a little extra companionship are naturally part of my routine. During the day, I may step out for several hours, but I make sure each dog’s needs and comfort are prioritized. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible so their time away from you feels familiar and relaxed. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, play time, and their usual bedtime routine. I give dogs plenty of companionship and attention while also respecting their need for rest and space. I’ll keep your home tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. My goal is for your dog to feel safe and settled—and for you to come home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home.

Wow cannot say enough what an incredible gift Zohe was as a sitter. She not only took care of my two dogs, one big one little, with extreme affection and kindness, but she also did insanely detailed journals of every day she spent with the dogs, including multiple pictures. The way she spoke about my dogs made me feel like it was a trusted family member taking care of them! Thank you Zohe

I have been looking for a trustworthy person to watch my 2 needy cats and finally found someone. Kirsa was so easy going with all my crazy requests. She was very responsive over the weekend and sent me pictures of them which is always nice. I will absolutely book again unless my attention seeking kitties scared her away!!

Ellie was a godsend! She made Freckle feel so cared for. I really felt that Freck benefitted from her loving attention. Ellie was super communicative and went the extra mile to help me and my kitty stay connected—my babe has had a lot of changes since being rescued and she has a tendency towards UTI symptoms. That said, Ellie cares deeply for animals and I am sure she would give the world to each of them, no matter their needs. Ellie was so caring to Freckle and they formed a sweet connection! Will definitely be requesting her as a sitter for Freck again.

Solomia was absolutely wonderful with Lumi! I felt very comfortable knowing Lumi was in great hands while I was away. She was attentive, communicative, and felt that she treated Lumi like she was her own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, which is all you can ask for. I unfortunately had a flight delay on my last day of the trip and Solomia helped out to come back and care for Lumi after her original service time. I would absolutely trust Solomia with Lumi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. Thank you, Solomia!

Mikyla (Kayla) was amazing with our Pomeranian, Sunny. She helped us out on short notice when we went on a long day trip. She came over to meet before which made me feel at ease. Sunny is a dog who needs comfort and someone is attentive. Kayla took notes when we met about Sunny's routine, and on the day of sent lots of updates and cute photos. We were so grateful for her help. Would highly recommend her!

Leo was absolutely incredible with our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. He stayed at our house for a week with our 85-pound pit bull, who is the sweetest lovebug but also comes with a lot of... personality. He's incredibly strong, has the energy of a toddler on steroids, loves to jump on people, has no concept of personal space, and struggles with separation anxiety after being a COVID puppy. He's definitely not the easiest dog to care for. Leo handled all of our dog's quirks and special needs with patience, kindness, and confidence. He kept us updated throughout the week with lots of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in such great hands. In the past, we've limited our travel to trips where we could bring our dog because we worried about leaving him with someone else. Finding Leo has been such a huge relief, and it's opened up so many more possibilities for us. We won't hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their pet.

Suzanne was everything you’d want in a dog sitter—a lifetime of experience with animals, including emergency care—she’s responsible, a good communicator, and great with the dogs. I left my home and precious pups without a worry. A good dog sitter has to be about more than your dogs liking them. Suzanne’s background with animals, her wealth of knowledge and decades of experience make her the ideal pet sitter.

Anela was wonderful with our two dogs. Detail oriented and thoughtful about all of their needs. She followed all of my instructions carefully which involved a lot of medications for one of my dogs. She left everything clean and tidy following a two night stay. She is on the younger side but very responsible. I highly recommend her.
