Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Riviera

About: I absolutely love animals and especially dogs. I love walking them, taking them on fun outdoor adventures and also checking in on them while you are out and about. I may not currently have a pet of my own but I promise I will love yours as if they were my own. My schedule is very open and I make my own hours with the part-time work that I do. Plenty of time to visit with and walk your fur-baby! I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhoods. Also, I can come and visit with them at your home as much as needed.

About: I have been around and taken care of pets my whole life. I currently live in a house with four cats and frequently assist with pet care, including tasks such as feeding, grooming, cleaning litter, and playing with them. I also have recent experience with dog sitting, which included tasks such as feeding, playing, and taking them on walks. I also have experience volunteering in shelters and taking the dogs out for walks. I have experience caring for dogs of all background, including dogs with behavioral issues. I currently work full time Monday-Thursday and half days on Fridays, but I have an hour lunch that will allow me to check in on the pets. I am free any time after 4-5 pm Monday-Thursdays, after 12 pm on Fridays, and any time on weekends. I work in healthcare, so I am capable of being a responsible and compassionate caregiver. I will diligently follow instructions and ensure safety of the house. I have also worked with pets of different temperaments and behaviors, so I can care for pets of different backgrounds.

“Always great when we book with Leo - very attentive and flexible. Good communication while we were away, and we came home to a very happy cat! Will book again, for sure.”

About: I grew up taking care of my cats and dogs. Since becoming a student, I have house sat, fed and gave medications to both cats and dogs, and completed walks for neighbors, friends, and family whenever I was needed. I’m currently a full-time student but will have time daily to help take care of your pets when you are unable to. During the week I am available for a few hours but am more accessible on weekends and most evenings. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby company. There are no other pets in the home, so you will not have to worry about this.

About: Lots of experience with dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, rodents, and more. II've taken care of everything from puppies to seniors, and dachshunds to wolf hybrids. Your pets are always safe with me! I'm a student at SBCC and am taking a couple summer courses that allow me to work from anywhere. I have a very flexible schedule and can do whatever is needed! I have lots of experience housesitting, dog walking, and doing drop-by visits. I've always been very in tune with how animals are feeling and am often very able to tell what they need.

“Anna helped us out at the last minute and we couldn’t have been happier! She took such great care of Paris, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Paris was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely book with them again!”

About: I grew up around dogs, and have dogsit and housesit for friends and neighbors regularly. I try to maintain a calming presence around animals, and I also enjoy walking energetic dogs that can handle a lot of exercise or even runs. I have experience with washing dishes in a commercial kitchen and basic household carpet cleaning. I'm taking classes part-time, and have availability throughout the day and every night. I'm happy to stop by for check-ins or walks pretty much anytime on weekdays or weekends; it should be easy to fit things in around my class schedule. I like to keep an eye on the animals under my care and not leave them alone for longer than they're comfortable with. Every dog takes a different amount of exercise, but all dogs appreciate company or enrichment. For check-ins and walks I make sure the house & dogs are okay, and try to give them enough exercise to keep them tired enough to not get anxious before their next check-in or walk. For overnight house sitting I'll be around to play with them or be alerted if the dogs need anything, and I can plan a good routine for the dogs' exercise and potty needs.

About: I love animals and sometimes prefer them to humans :) I have extensive experience with taking care of dogs which gives me confidence that I would be a great choice for you. My job allows me to work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your furry family members. My pup is a cute super social mini husky (see photos). She is friendly with any dog and is not possessive of her home. She always loves to meet new dogs and people so your pup will be welcome with open arms. Personally, I do not want to take more than 2-3 dogs at once. Dependent on their size and temperament, I make sure my place remains a calm, safe and enjoyable environment for both doggies and humans. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message, I usually answer within a couple of hours. I would love to meet you and your pups. I have my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to take care of multiple dogs during the day, which includes regular walks to the park or the beach. If I have to leave the house I am never gone for longer than 2 hours and usually my best friend or boyfriend stays at the house. I do not like to leave the doggies alone especially if they are new to each other I am very conscientious of making sure they are not alone. We have a very secure home in a nice neighborhood with a fenced patio area where the dogs can go outside to do their business as well. Our puppy Devika (Pomsky) is super playful and welcoming, she would love to share her space with another dog anytime.

About: Hi, I’m Lana (short for Svetlana). I’ve always had a deep love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, including senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand every pet is different and adjust my care to fit their needs—whether that means a slower, gentler pace for senior dogs, active playtime for puppies, or simply keeping them comfortable and relaxed. I’ve also had the unique experience of walking dogs down the aisle at weddings and caring for them throughout the event, so couples can fully enjoy their special day. I stay calm, reliable, and confident in both everyday care and high-energy, special moments. It’s important to me that every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them the attention they deserve. I work full-time during the week with two days from home, but on the weekends, my schedule is completely open and I can ensure potty breaks every 1-2 hours. Just let me know what your dog’s needs are :) We sure can work it out. I will always make sure to never leave your dog unattended. Your dog deserves attention and safety is very important to all of us. I will care for your dog as if it’s my own.

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.

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.

“Daniel was AWESOME to step in last minute when I had an unexpected full work day in LA. He’ really responsive and responsible; and seems to really enjoy and “get” my dogs!”

“Cheryl was very profesional and took great care of my puppy. She met all of my asks and responded very quickly. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

Lucas D.

“Kathleen is an excellent pet sitter! She went above and beyond for us. We have a reactive dog and Kathleen was able to gain his trust and work with him. Additionally, our other dog broke out of her crate and Kathleen handled the (messy) situation expertly. All in all, Kathleen is incredibly accommodating, highly experienced, and down-right superb. We rate her a solid 10/10 and HIGHLY recommend her!”

About: I'm a 26 year old working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have experience taking care of and training younger dogs and have a young dog myself. I love all kinds of dogs and will take care of your pets like I would my own. I'm working part time so I have varying schedules week to week with lots of time to take care of your pet! I'm always available all day Friday and Saturday morning. I frequently take long walks so your dog will have consistent exercise and frequent potty breaks. I have a private fenced in yard and a very friendly dog that loves playing with other dogs! I can easily crate your dog at night depending on what you prefer. I will follow your dog's routine feeding and care so they are happy and feel at home!

About: I watch Chomsky every day and he’s my boy. I cared for Bella, a Border Collie during grad school for three years. Loved her too. I am an artist doing a self-guided residency in Santa Barbara. I care for Chomsky, a cute Shi Tzu mix. He is the most chill. I can watch your doggie or kitty while working from home. We will also go for walks and play/ throw ball if they want to.

About: I’ve spent over 30 years caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and professionally. My approach is intuitive, compassionate, and grounded in a lifetime of hands-on experience. I run a local Montecito dog walking business, working with dogs of all breeds and specializing in big, athletic, and high-energy dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a Montecito-based business owner and endurance athlete, I spend much of my time on the trails and beaches — often with a dog by my side. My lifelong love of animals, combined with my endurance background, makes me especially well-suited for larger or high-energy breeds. I genuinely love bonding with dogs and take pride in being a calm, confident presence — a natural pack leader they can trust. I care for the dogs I walk as if they were my own — with plenty of love, attention, and respect for their individual needs. I’m known for giving dogs the exercise they truly crave, whether that’s an energizing trail walk, a beach romp, or a steady neighborhood outing. I stay fully present and engaged, making sure each walk is safe, stimulating, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and personality.

About: Pet training is one of my many specialties, so if you have any puppies I will be more than happy to help you train them! I enjoy taking care of senior pets, giving them all the extra love and care that they need. If you are in need of someone to care and love your furry friends, please reach out to me. I have open availability! I’m currently working a part time in the city of Santa Barbara so I have lots of time to be able to spend with your pets and I hope to meet them soon. Pet care in my home is taken very seriously, as I own 5 cats I make sure all are well fed always hydrated and they have their own cat patio, all are kept safely indoors and partially outdoors. Cat litters are always maintained and kept clean. With dog care it’s also taken seriously I have two senior dogs whom I always make sure are being walked twice a day for only a limited of time as they are senior dogs too much walking can be bad on their joints, I also own a younger pup whom I take on daily walks/hikes and is trained from basic training to cool tricks. This not only describes how much I care for my dogs but also how extensive my care can go as well for yours pups and kitty’s.

About: Hi, my name is Ashley and I love walks and rubbing bellies. When you're away I'll keep your dog happy.

I am new to the socal area. I live in Santa Barbara where I work as a pastry chef but during my down time I hope to help many by taking care of any and every puppy. I've been around dogs since before I can remember. I am careful and cautious with every animal and don't exclude any breed. You can trust me with your doggy children because I know that's what mine is to me, yours will be too. I have an 8 year old lab named moose and he’s my best friend. I’ll be honest my daily schedule can vary everyday but I will be open and honest with anyone who books with me and give you my full availability to the best of my ability I will treat your dog as I do my own. He loves having visitors to play with he also enjoys a daily walk which I’m sure he’d loved to have a buddy tag along and will miss when they leave

About: Hi there! My love for dogs and my experience in dog care over the past two decade have made me very comfortable with any routine and environment. I've watched multiple dogs at a time, fed them, walked them, played with them-- they've been all sizes, energy and ages. I lived in France and was a dog walker for about 6 months too. I will run or walk the dog and am happy to play fetch for as long as it takes for your dog to get tired. I'm very responsible and am great at communicating if you need to get ahold of me for any reason. I'm always happy to speak with the owner beforehand to get a good sense of what their dogs need from me. I do walks twice a day for an hour with my dog! Feeding, washing, and training is all a part of my pet care. Also feeding them bones or vitamins or flea meds whatever my pup needs! With a gentle, playful, and thoughtful spirit. I like to give the pet lots of love and attention, and activity and provide it a trusting environment.
