Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Riviera, Santa Barbara

“Kathleen was super easy to communicate with and responsive. She jumped in to help us on very short notice when other cat care plans fell through. We felt comfortable knowing she had everything taken care of, and her daily check-ins were welcome reassurance that all was well while we were away.”

“Cassandra came highly recommended to me by a fellow friend (and Rover user) and I cannot express my gratitude enough for how well she has looked after our pets when we are out of town. She also goes the extra mile and doesn't hesitate to help bring into the house mail/packages or water a houseplant or two. I recommend her services!”

“I highly recommend Tara as a pet sitter. Her authentic love for animals shines through in the exceptional care she offers. Tara's responsible approach, combined with her excellent communication skills, ensures you'll be kept informed about your pets' well-being. With Tara, your pets are not only in safe hands but also under the care of someone who values clear and open communication.”

“Daniel was great help looking after our dog Sasha. Sasha is very energetic and playful, and Daniel gave her all the care and attention she deserved while we were out of time. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes all my life, as well as fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards, snakes and more. I am a very relaxed and easy going individual who will give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I work remotely so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available most of the day outside of the late afternoons. I am also an early riser so I don’t mind an early morning appointment. I have a fenced back yard and currently no other pets that occupy my house. I am a clean individual who does not leave rogue objects or food on the floor.

“Elissa is the best pet sitter! She followed all my instructions perfectly and did a great job keeping me updated.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends for years. I’ve learned that pets have different needs and try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I work full time Mon-Fri but would be available to visit and provide care afterwards. I am flexible and available most weekends. Open to overnights. I respect the home I’m visiting and will only access areas that are permitted. I also follow provided instructions to ensure pets don’t get stressed.

“Bethany is wonderful and my pup adores her! She is friendly, trustworthy and an excellent communicator. She went the extra mile when in-home sitting for my dog by taking her on special outings to get exercise, sending text pup-dates, and she left the house immaculate. I didn't have a single worry while I was away. I highly recommended Bethany and will definitely use her again!”

“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.”

“Monika has house sat for me multiple times. Every time I have gone out os town, I have come home to a house where every detail was in place and extremely well looked after. She has a heart to do an excellent job. She takes her responsibility very seriously. She respects the boundaries of the homeowner. have been able to go out of town and completely relax, knowing she is vigilant and considerate.”

“Ben took care of my husky Ana for many years. He was always very responsible and loving. He walked her, fed her and played with her. Ben is very gentle and caring and genuinely loved our dog. As she got older, I could trust him when we traveled because he has good judgement and would know what to do if she needed additional care.”

About: Hello fellow dog lovers! I would be so pleased to help you take care of your pups. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, but don’t have one at my home right now. And I miss them!!! I have recently begun working from home - which makes for a very flexible schedule! I have a small apartment that might not enough space for the bigger dogs but I would enjoy play sessions at your place and lots of walks! I’m new to Rover but I used to house-sit for neighbors that included me watching pets, watering plants, pool upkeep, mail collecting, etc. If you have any other needs while you’re away I’d be happy to make something work. Excited to meet you and your pup!

“My pup was very comfortable and happy at Naoko’s! She was a loving caretaker for my pup and took excellent care of him, he had a wonderful time! It is also nice they have a fenced yard. I will definitely rebook with Naoko again!”

“Liliana was a great bunny sitter! She was reliable, on-time, and communicative, and most importantly I came home to two happy bunnies. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Ashton did a great job with my cats! He was timely and my cats responded really well to him. Even the ones I wasn’t expecting to socialize with him!”

About: I have been working and training dogs and cats, birds and exotics for over 15 years and if I can provide your animals with comfort while you’re away from home, I’m here to help. I am an active person and can take your dog on long walks multiple times a day, or we can relax and enjoy the comfort of their home just by sticking to their normal routine. Places I like to walk dogs so that they can get a full days exercise is the Douglas preserve on the Mesa in Santa Barbara, More Mesa location in Goleta off of Patterson, Tuckers Grove off of Turnpike, the Hot and Cold Springs in Montecito, as well as a few others. My car is fully equipped to transport dogs up to 70lbs and I do not drive with more than 2 dogs in my car at a time. Thank you for your allowing me to be of service to you and your furry loved ones and I look forward to our meet and greet 😊 Pet care fits into my routine simply by being the amazing animals they are. They keep me busy and away from my desk, and give me an opportunity to go out and do the things I love to do where I don’t have to do them alone. For example, hiking and walking. They’re always with me and they will have my undivided attention. Two blocks from two parks and a drive away from Douglas preserve and many other incredible places for dogs.

“Cheryl was great first time meeting our shy pup. She is a real pro - taking her time to let our dog warm up to her and had him literally eating out of her hand in no time!”

“Madison has taken care of my three dogs—Rodger, Henry, and Eddie—and they absolutely adore her! Each of them has a different personality, and Madison is so thoughtful and attentive to their individual needs. Rodger is more energetic, Henry loves attention, and Eddie can be a little shy—but Madison handles all of them with such patience, love, and confidence. The second she walks through the door, all three light up. I completely trust her with their routines, walks, feeding, and cuddle time. She’s not only incredibly responsible and professional, but you can tell she genuinely loves animals. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care. Anyone would be lucky to have Madison look after their pets.”
