House Sitting Santa Barbara

“Fiery was great! We had not left our two pups for long before an 11-day trip and Fiery worked with us to do monthly drop-ins to allow the dogs to become comfortable with her. She asked questions to make sure she had all the details and even took a walk with us in the neighborhood to learn their routine. I believe our dogs were very well-cared for in our absence and will definitely book Fiery again!”

“Brigit is a great petsitter as well as a house sitter. She is very attentive to detail, sent us photos of the animals while we were gone, reported daily to us how they were doing, followed instructions to the letter, and is a vet tech, so we didn't have to worry if one of the animals had an emergency. She is very responsible, left the house clean, and was responsive to our questions and concerns. We highly recommend Brigit!”

“Took great care of our pups for a long weekend. Took everything we said and went above and beyond giving them much love. Checked in regularly with us and sent photos even. Highly recommend using Alejandra for any of your pet needs!”

“This is our second time using Alexus and she did not disappoint, yet again! She’s so diligent and attentive to our pups every need and more. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs don’t even miss us while we are away! She stays on schedule so they don’t feel a change in routine. We are so grateful for her! She is the best and I highly recommend her for loving your fur babies while away. Thank you million’s Alexus!”

“Yet again, Autumn went above and beyond in taking care of my beloved cat, Zayda. She sent awesome pictures that showed how well they were getting along, and stayed an extra night when I had to change my travel plans. I trust Autumn completely with my animals, and my animals are my life. I know that she loves my fur kids, too. Very grateful to have found her!”

“Mariah was a great sitter for the pups! They loved her, and got plenty of walks and love. She sent updates throughout and photos. Thank you!!”

“Rose is the best! My super shy kitty who normally hides the entire time I’m gone is comfortable enough around Rose that she not only comes out of hiding but plays! cat owners of shy kitties will know how big of a deal this is 😍”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. From dogs and cats to horses, birds, fish, and even ferrets, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my days with so many wonderful animals over the years. Each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and companionship, and I carry that experience with me into every pet I care for. Right now, I share my home with a lively crew—a sweet senior Husky hybrid who’s 15 years old, a playful 7-month-old Cattle Dog, two affectionate cats (one a sprightly senior of 14 years), and a handful of fish who bring calm and beauty to my space. Because of them, I have firsthand experience with pets at every stage of life. I understand the patience and special attention seniors need, as well as the energy and safe guidance puppies and kittens require as they grow. My passion for animals has inspired me to pursue a career as a Veterinary Technician, but no matter the path, one thing is certain: caring for animals will always be at the heart of what I do. I love spending time outdoors with pets, going on walks, playing their favorite games, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet snuggles and gentle care, I’ll treat them like one of my own. When your furry (or feathered, or finned!) family members are with me, you can feel confident that they’ll be cared for with warmth, patience, and lots of love. I’m available bright and early in the mornings all the way through the evening for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. My regular availability is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day of the week, weekends included. I understand that every pet and family has different routines, so I’m happy to be flexible and work around the times that suit you best. I’m also available most weekends for house sitting, giving you peace of mind that your pets (and home) are well cared for while you’re away. If there’s ever a time I won’t be available, I’ll always update my schedule in advance so you’ll never be left guessing. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I am able to travel throughout the county and city, and I’m comfortable caring for pets in a wide variety of environments, including apartments, houses, farm properties, sidewalks, parks, and outdoor settings. No matter the location, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I follow all owner instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, or special accommodations. Maintaining consistency is important, and I will make sure your pets’ routines are carried out to your exact standards. While house sitting, I provide ongoing attention and companionship throughout the day, and during walks or check-ins, your pets will always have my full, undivided focus. I ensure that pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and any other care items they may need. I am also fully comfortable working in all types of weather and terrain, so your pets’ care will never be disrupted by outside conditions.

“Caro did an WONDERFUL job with my dog. He gets nervous when I leave but she worked with him and he is very comfortable with her. You could tell he had received plenty of attention while I was away. Caro sent regular updates and pictures and was very responsive whenever I texted. All my plants were watered and the house was in pristine condition when I got home. Thanks Caro!”

Sarah S.

“Thanks Tahlese! She was responsible and dependable with great communication and attention to detail. She was also flexible and worked with us when we had a last minute (slight) change of plans. I would recommend Tahlese for your dog and cat care needs!”

“My daughter and i went on a toadtrip to CA to visit potential colleges for about 10 days. I contacted a lot of people on Rover somewhat last minute. Faris was the first to respond! And I am so happy and appreciative that I chose him! He is the absolute best! He's so kind and friendly and professional and funny and totally loves my 2 husky brothers. He's making home-made dog food due to my pups sensitive digestion. He walks them daily if not twice a day when its not too hot. He's house sitting as well and stays with my guys most of the time. He's very aware of protecting them from the heat. He's a great communicator. He listened to me about the dog training Ive dome so he could keep it up while Im away. He sends messages daily with walking pics and others. He often tells me how much he loves my Huskies! I am overjoyed that I found him!! I know without a doubt that my Pups are having the time of their lives! Thank you Faris!!!”

“Lauren has watched my dogs a few times now. They love to see her and I always know that they are well cared for with her. She is patient and careful and always ensures that I know how they are doing. I highly recommend Lauren for any pet care service.”

“Abigail took excellent care of Simba during our time away. She sent us picture updates and was communicative. We returned to a clean home and a happy pup. Would definitely have her again to watch our sweet Simba. Thank you Abigail!”

“Just the best! Jax was so excited to see you. Loved every single minute. This is your calling. Thanks again for reassuring us that our fur baby would be in such awesome care. See you soon.”

“Skyler is so caring and awesome! I contacted Skyler with limited notice for a last minute trip. She came over the same day for a meet and greet. She wasn’t put off by my barky dog. Throughout the short day Skyler kept me updated and sent me pictures of my dog. When my dog unexpectedly got scared of intense thunder, Skyler reached out to see if there was a thing she could do to comfort her. Skyler is super caring and communicative! Will be booking with her in the future! 💗✨”

“Greg sat for us while we went camping. One of our dogs became sick, but he was a great communicator and helped him through it. The house was clean and the dogs were happy when we got home!”

Joe G.

“Christina was great! From the moment she first met with my four large dogs you could tell that she is very experienced and comfortable with animals. That energy led to the dogs warming up to her immediately. She showed up on time and sent updates and photos throughout the stay. I highly recommend her!”
