“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 was raised with a puppy and have had many dogs since—they truly make my heart melt! Dogs are so special, and I love giving them all the playtime, fun, and enrichment they need to stay happy and healthy. I’m all about keeping tails wagging with love, attention, and care they can count on. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I prioritize feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I’m currently working part-time and in school twice a week, but I have a light schedule that leaves me with plenty of free time to dedicate to your pet’s care. I stay organized and make sure to follow each pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’m attentive and respectful of their routines and environment. I’m a quick learner and follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet gets the best care possible. I also know when to take initiative and solve problems calmly to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable.

Thank you again Cheryl. from Bebe, Coco and myself Celeste”

About: I have owned two large dogs before a German Shepard, and a lab Shepard mix . I also understand that some dogs are energetic and need more exercise so I am patient with those doggos too!

About: Hi, my name is Basilia, I also go by Juno. Although I don’t have any formal dog experience, I have grown up around dogs all my life. I have experience house/dog sitting for my friends and neighbors in high-school, and even more experience taking care of my families big dogs. Further, I have some experience taking care of senior dogs, as my late Akita spent nearly 5 years on intensive medication. I love playing with dogs, taking them on walks, going to the dog park, and making life good in the safety of their own homes. I’m a student at Santa Barbara City College, but my flexible schedule allows me to spend plenty of time with your animals! I have at least 2-4 hours a day available to spend playing with, walking, or otherwise taking care of your babies. I prioritize pet safety in my care. I listen carefully to your rules about where the animal is/isn’t allowed to go, and can provide intensive support for your animals. I make sure to spend time building trust with the animal using treats or soothing methods upon meeting them, so that they feel safe and comfortable around me.

About: I’ll treat your dog like family and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m in the middle of a career change and studying, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for part-time dog walking and pet sitting. I follow your dog’s routine, provide plenty of walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and attention to keep them happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

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: Loving, conscientious, intuitive, care of your furry friends. I have been around many species of animals, for many years. I am a professional dog groomer, Pet CPR/First Aid Certified, member of the SB Equine Evac team. Comfortable administering both oral, and Sub-Q injections. I have owned/ trained Stock Dogs. I have had in excess of 40 cats. I am early to recognize illness/ lameness. ANIMALS ARE MY PASSION I work a part time job, Monday through Thursday, from 1-5. I am available weekdays 8a-12p, and 6p-8p. Overnights any day. Weekends all hours. I feed/ water/ clean bowls/and walk frequently. I love to play, if animal is up for it. I am very neat, clean and meticulous and usually leave a place without trace of my being there.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I come from a long line of dog people, with generations of family members who have always had dogs in the home. If you ask me my favorite subject, the answer is always “dogs.” I’m the type of person who says hello to every dog I pass, attends dog trivia nights for fun, and spends my free time volunteering at Santa Barbara Humane. If there’s a dog nearby, chances are I’ve already stopped to say hi! My background as an animal lover goes beyond passion. I spent years working in veterinary medicine, gaining hands-on experience caring for animals that need a little extra attention and support. This includes puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medical needs. I already love spending time walking around beautiful Santa Barbara, so I’m thrilled to combine my daily walks with quality time spent with the doggos of Santa Barbara! I have a flexible, hybrid schedule and can typically adjust on short notice. If I do go into my office, it’s typically for 4-6 hours. I love taking walks throughout the day, so it’ll be easy to add walking your dog to my daily schedule! I have a one bedroom apartment with a sunny balcony. I am able to close off various spaces around the apartment if needed. I’m also comfortable with pets on furniture and giving baths if needed.

About: Lifelong dog lover who grew up training and caring for them. My partner and I have fostered dogs over the past few years and love caring for all sizes and personalities. When your pup stays with me, they’ll be treated like family and receive the same love, attention, and care I’d give my own dog. I currently have no other pets so your pup will get my full attention while you’re away! I currently work during the week as a registered nurse from 7am-5pm. My partner works from home and is available throughout the day. We love to be active and get out of the house daily for walks. I recognize meeting new people can be stressful for many dogs. I make sure to take time to get to know a dogs personality with the first interaction and give them time to adjust to a new and unfamiliar person/environment.

About: I have 2 years of hands-on dog care, regularly watching a large Golden Retriever and a medium Chihuahua–Dachshund mix. I’m comfortable with strong pullers and high-energy pups, and I’m just as gentle with small dogs. I follow your routines for meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime, and I send clear updates with photos after each visit. Safety and calm handling are my priorities—I keep leashes secure, monitor weather and hydration, and tidy up after outdoor fun. I can help with brushing and basic cues like sit/stay/leave-it. Your dog will get patient, reliable care and lots of affection every time. I work fully remote, so I’m home and attentive most of the day. I pop out once daily for the gym (about an hour) and plan visits around it. I’m available for morning, lunchtime, and evening walks/check-ins, plus overnight house sitting when needed. Weekends are open. Your pup’s meals, potty breaks, and playtime fit naturally into my routine, and I send quick updates so you always know how they’re doing. I follow your dog’s routine exactly—feeding, meds, crate, and house rules. I double-check doors and gates, keep dogs leashed unless you’ve approved a secure fenced area, and handle both strong pullers (Golden Retriever) and small dogs (Chiweenie) with calm, confident control. I monitor heat/cold, carry water, wipe paws, clean bowls, and tidy up before I leave. Home stays locked and secure, and you’ll get clear photo updates every visit.

“Bekah was great! Our dog can be a handful but was no problem for Bekah! She provided us with Rover cards and photos while we were away.”

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.

“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: 40+ verified house sits completed on TrustedHousesitters. I can also provide screenshots of reviews upon request. “5-star client satisfaction (Trusted Housesitters) Multi-pet household experience up to 5 dogs + 4 cats Long-term in-home care up to 1 month Overseas housesitting/petsitting experience I have completed approximately 40 house and pet sitting assignments over the past two years, ranging from short-term stays to extended, multi-week care. My experience includes managing households with multiple animals, including up to five dogs and four cats simultaneously, as well as mixed households requiring coordinated feeding, walking, and individualized care routines. I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and cats, including administering structured routines, monitoring mobility and comfort, and adapting care to age-related needs to ensure safety and stability. I have provided continuous in-home care for stays of up to one month, ensuring both reliable household security and consistent, attentive pet care. Responsibilities have included structured daily walks, feeding schedules, basic care routines, and maintaining the home in orderly condition. Across these sits, I have maintained a 99% five-star rating, reflecting a consistent record of reliability, professionalism, and high-quality care. I am experienced in managing complex, multi-pet environments with attention to detail, safety, and respect for each household’s specific instructions. House and pet sitting is my full-time profession and core area of expertise. I specialize in providing reliable in-home care for pets and household management during client travel, including extended stays of up to one month. My experience includes managing multi-pet households, supporting senior animals, and maintaining stable routines for pets with varying temperaments. This work is my primary occupation, and I bring a consistent, structured approach to every assignment. Option 3 (more personal but still professional) House and pet sitting is my full-time work and what I dedicate myself to professionally. I care for pets and homes while clients are away, with experience across a wide range of animals, including multi-pet households and senior care needs. This role allows me to provide consistent, attentive care and maintain stable routines in the home environment, which is my primary professional focus. I care for pets in the client’s home by following their established routines and instructions closely to maintain consistency and reduce stress for the animals. Before each sit, I consult with the owner to understand each pet’s specific needs, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medical requirements, behavioral considerations, and any household preferences. I prioritize keeping pets in their familiar environment with minimal disruption, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. During care, I provide structured daily routines that may include feeding, fresh water, exercise or walks, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, and regular check-ins to monitor behavior and wellbeing. I also adjust my approach based on each pet’s temperament, whether they are social, shy, anxious, or require more attentive support, including senior care considerations. In addition to pet care, I maintain the household as requested, which may include basic home upkeep, security awareness, bringing in mail, and ensuring the home remains clean and orderly. My approach is consistent, detail-oriented, and focused on reliability, communication with the owner, and the overall wellbeing of the pets in my care.
