This was our first time working with Danielle, and we could not have imagined a more easy, smooth and delightful time! Danielle met up with us ahead of time to ensure she had all the notes on how to give our pup a wonderful weekend. And boy did she deliver! Wags, and Jumps all around! Thank you so much, Danielle we are so happy to have met you!

Thank you for watching my fluffs while I was in town! I was super nervous about leaving my two with a stranger and she made herself available to meet beforehand easing my stress and allowing me to see how they interacted first. She was great with them and put up with my little girl's nervousness. Pixel and Voxie were well taken care of. Siobhan made it a great first experience with the service. If I'm in Santa Barbra again I know who I want as my doggo sitter.

This was our second time using Jessica to watch our sweet pup and she did a fabulous job! She is so thoughtful and kind. She sent daily updates and pictures and we were able to rest easy knowing our puppy was in great hands. Thank you so much Jessica! We appreciate you! :)

Jessica was just brilliant. I have an elderly dog who does not travel well and she took extra special care of him. I also loved the photos, videos, and updates that she sent. It put my mind at ease as I knew he wasn’t feeling well. She let my dog sleep in bed with her and kept him covered with blankets. I would definitely book Jessica again!

Could not have left Sage with anyone more suited to care for her while on vacation. She received world class exercise and attention. Michael will be our go to. Would give more stars if available. ?

I couldn’t have asked for a better couple for my pups to stay with! They provided all the care and attention my dogs needed while also taking them on lots of outings. I could tell how happy my dogs were in every photo as she kept me very updated. They will definitely be back someday!

Nicole couldn’t have been any kinder and professional. My Cosmos thoroughly enjoyed staying with her and cavorting with her little doggies! She took Cosmos on several “field” trips that he thoroughly enjoyed. Honestly, I was concerned that my little doggie wouldn’t want to come back to me after such a fabulous time with Nicole, thankfully he did… oh, and she sent photos and videos regularly along with updates on his well being. I will use her again if I ever leave Cosmos ? Marianne

My dog runs a bit nervous but James kept her feeling content and safe. It was a good experience for her and therefore for me, too! I recommend James and I would love to have him care for my dog again.

About: I've had the opportunity to take care of dogs and love them my whole life. I enjoy dogs of all ages and breeds, but do not have extensive experience with dogs with significant medical conditions. I work from home full-time, so I am able to provide care during the week without issue. If needed, I could also take my laptop and easily work from any location with good internet access. I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood in downtown Santa Barbara, in a stand-alone cottage with a fenced backyard. Just like with children, I defer to what works for you and your pet to give them as much of their normal routine as possible.

I met Cara through a dog walking app when I had no one around to watch my (territorial, barky) Pomeranian. She handled her gently and was so flexible when I asked her last minute to walk Bella! Cara is an animal whisperer and a class act. 5/5 would book again. 🥰

Julie was so kind and caring. She updated us with photos and was not phased by our dog’s four times a day meal schedule and medication needs. We were able to relax abs not worry. We felt like she had a vacation too!

Svetlana was the most incredible dog sitter for my sweet pup:) she was prompt at responding the entire stay & was able to agree to watch Toby with short notice. She kept me updating with sweet photos, and was even able to accommodate an additional day at the last minute. I returned from a weekend away to a very happy, (& clean!) pup. I could tell her & her boyfriend were very caring and attentive with him. I will definitely be booking with them the next time I need a sitter! Highly recommend.

Cassidy is truly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She was so incredibly friendly and accommodating with our busy schedule that weekend (we were getting married!) and also facilitated everything from our dog getting groomed by a mobile groomer to having our groomsmen pick up our dog and drop him off since he was the ring bearer for the ceremony. She did all of this without hesitation or fuss and also sent us lots of pictures and updates of our dog! Without a doubt - we highly recommend Cassidy!
