Dog Boarding Santa Barbara

“Ellen was amazing! my little dog needed medication administered and some special attention and Ellen handled it no problem. We highly recommend her and will have our little dog stay with her next time we leave!”

Alana A.

“Sandy and her husband were so sweet with our dog who had an injury right before our vacation. Sandy could tell we didn’t want to leave her, and provided lots of reassurance that our dog would be in good hands. Because of the injury she had a lot of extra meds, which Sandy administered easily! Thank you, Sandy and Tony for loving on Sadey! She even got a beach day!”

“We are so grateful that our dog Mina got to stay with such a kind family. Bradley and Carolyn were incredibly attentive and caring, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They sent daily updates along with the cutest photos, which we really appreciated. If Mina could talk, I’m sure she would give them a 5 out of 5 rating. She loved playing with the other dogs and got plenty of walks and attention. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with them again.”

About: Hi, I’m Valentina!! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience dog sitting, walking, playing, and doing overnight stays. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality. I’m active and outdoorsy, so I’m always happy to go on walks and adventures, but I’m just as happy hanging out at home, playing, or keeping your pet company while they relax. In my free time, I love surfing, working out, going to the beach, and camping.. so being outside is definitely my happy place! I’m also a designer and naturally creative, kind, and always optimistic. 💛 Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop ins, playtime, and overnight care. Since I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I can easily adjust my day around your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of attention, love, and company. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet, including crating, feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty routines, and any household rules. I always respect each pet’s personality and boundaries while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and love!

“Jasmine was a great sitter for Bella! She was great at communicating, sent us photos, and was so sweet with our senior fur baby. She also was very through in figuring out what she needs, and was able to supply her with anything we forgot to bring. We definitely recommend her!”

Armando G.

“Miguel was very communicative and took the time to understand our pup before we left him for a few days. Very professional, courteous and friendly! Our dog came back very tired and happy. Highly recommend!”

Oliver & Heather F.

“Lynn and Marty did a great job with Milo :) I had a last minute trip to Santa Barbara and they were very accommodating. I received consistent updates and photos throughout the day and Milo had a great time playing in their backyard. Will definitely book again!”

Ivy A.

“Lianne took my old guy in and kept him comfortable while I traveled for a couple of weeks. I think the dog had a more relaxing break then we did. I will be using Lianne whenever I travel. Ziggy was well cared for.”

Dan T.

“Jacqueline and Roland were wonderful with Remy. They were mindful of his needs and accommodated him beautifully. They sent me pictures to eliminate my anxiety and were always responsive. We had a great experience!”

Sharon C.

“Courtney did a great job taking care of our pug. She shared frequent pics of our dog on walks and playing in the house. We know our dog had a great mini vacation while we did ourselves!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up with both cats and dogs. Over the years, I’ve also cared for several neighbors’ dogs, giving me hands-on experience with pets of different personalities and needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and always prioritize each animal’s safety, comfort, and well-being. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or keeping your pet company, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I work in athletics, typically from 9 a.m. to 3 or 4 p.m. on weekdays, with occasional weekend events depending on the season. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable care, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the week. I enjoy staying active, so caring for pets fits naturally into my routine, and I always make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly apartment where they can feel secure and relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet's needs, keep a safe environment, and treat every animal with the same care and respect I would give my own.

“Honey was incredible with Cooper! She kept me well updated and helped Cooper face some of his fears, kept him engaged and active and totally happy. I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving him and would gladly have him stay with her again.”

Maya M.

“Damian is the best! He has looked after our dog for over three weeks while we were away, and he cares for her just like his own dog. Sprite gets daily excised and fun time, and we receive frequent updates on her. Will go back to Damian again!”

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!

“Awesome care for our Carm Dog by Andrea and Kenneth. Thank you very much we will use their services again!”

Bryan M.

“Angelin was great, I’d definitely book with her again. She kept me updated with messages and photos and was really flexible with drop-off and pick-up. My dog can take a little time to warm up in new situations, but she connected with him quickly and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the whole time.”

James H.

About: I have two pets of my own that I love and adore but looking for something to do part time. I’m available Saturday’s and Sunday’s and most weeknights. I currently do have a full time job with a flexible schedule. I’m open most of the day Saturday and Sunday! I can also do some evenings during the week. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. From dogs, cats to horses, I’ve spent my whole life around animals! I currently have two indoor dogs that I love dearly.

“Lauren was so loving and attentive to my pup! She sent regular updates with photos and videos. He seemed so happy when I picked him up! I would book her again!”

R. Samantha S.

“Very awesome she has made sure I'm updated and has been so good with him I appreciate you so much thankyou.”

Chytown S.

“They were incredibly hospitable and accommodating. I’m so grateful to have them right here in my neighborhood! I’m very particular about my dog’s care—especially coming from a country with advanced dog care standards. This was my second booking, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for in a clean home with a fenced yard, playing with their sweet puppy, Daisy. The photos Vivian sent meant so much to me—it was comforting to see my dog not only safe but also happy and social. What reassures me even more is that they previously owned a small dog before Daisy and truly understand the needs of small breeds at every life stage. I’m grateful to have found such thoughtful, trustworthy people. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again—and I look forward to seeing Daisy next time too!”
