Doggy Day Care in Santa Barbara

“Very kind and gentle with our fur baby! They were also flexible on the drop off and pick up time. They live right by the beach and whale watching tour pier. We will hire them again when we come back to Santa Barbara!”

“I'm so happy that I found Honey! She and her pup Rosie were a great match for Bucky. Honey sent photos and updates often, and was very quick to respond. She was intuative with Bucky's needs and I knew he was in great hands. She has a comfortable home and bed that Bucky didn't want to get out of. This is my first experience on this app and I have no hesitation leaving Bucky with her in the future. Thanks again honey! A++”

“Jacob and his wife are wonderful to work with. They cared for our Bella, and sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. This is our 2nd time working together and we highly recommend them!”

About: I have been around and cared for dogs since I was in middle school. I have a deep care for dogs and believe giving them the absolute best life while they are with us is the only way to engage with them. I have a knack for training, it somewhat comes natural to me and I have the patience for it. Im happy to work with your dog to either reinforce or teach commands/tricks. Recently, I left my corporate job. I am taking time off to assess my next career move. Which means I have wide open flexibility and need to take walks to keep thinking. What a better way to do that than to have a walking companion! I do not have pets which means all of my attention goes to yours! There are two couches, a bed and a patio for your babe to enjoy. I am available around the clock to play, walk, teach.

“We are from out of the area but going to a concert a The Bowl. Last minute, we decided to find a babysitter for our very busy Portuguese Water Dog. Ryan accommodated both us and our dog in every way possible. His communication was outstanding and his love for dogs and their happiness was a dream for us. I would not hesitate to have Leo over there again. He lives in a very convenient location, right in Santa Barbara and his home was safe and secure. Thank you Ryan. We all hope to see you again soon. Thank you!”

About: I work from home, so your dog is never alone for long. My fenced yard means safe outdoor play every day, and regular photo updates mean you'll actually be able to relax on your trip. I have a special needs dog of my own, so I have a particular soft spot for dogs that need a little extra care, but I'm equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and medication administration. I know exactly how much trust you're placing in me, and I don't take that lightly. Your dog gets a real home, real attention, and a lot of love. I work from home full time, which means your dog has company throughout the day rather than waiting for someone to come home. Walks, yard time, and cuddles fit naturally into my routine, I'm not squeezing pet care around a commute or office hours. Gladly have your pet a part of my day. My home is fully fenced, so outdoor time is always safe and supervised. Inside, dogs are welcome wherever they're most comfortable.. on the sofa, in the bedroom, wherever helps them settle in. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including crating if that's part of their dog's routine. I'll always ask about your dog's habits, triggers, and preferences before your stay so there are no surprises for either of us.

About: I grew up with dogs, love taking care of them and love to walk for hours! I am offering this service until I get a dog of my own :) I work from home with flexibility in my schedule. I love to get out for breaks during the day and live close to a dog park. I have a gated outdoor space and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I also cover up my furniture so that the dogs can go on the couch.

“Our dog had a great time with Damian and immediately bonded with him. Damian communicated clearly and promptly. We look forward to working with him again.”

“Lauren was so great to work with...she responded to the daycare request promptly and immediately jumped into asking lots of questions around Remys care. I knew he'd be in good hands. Thank you for the care Lauren...”

About: My name is Sara and I have been caring for dogs actively for about 14 years, but have been loving them for 29. I graduated from Chico State with a healthcare administration degree back in 2016, but work selling security software. Working from home allows me the privilege of being a full-time companion to your cherished pup! They'll have the comfort of a familiar environment and a loving human presence throughout the day. Being punctual and reliable is second nature to me. You can count on me to adhere to schedules and ensure your pup's routine is maintained seamlessly. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to entrust your dog to someone new. That's why I'm committed to open communication, providing regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands. In my home, your fur baby will find companionship in my own adorable Sheepadoodle, June. She's not just a pet, but a treasured member of our family. We understand the importance of finding trustworthy hands for our furry family members, and rest assured, your dog will be treated with the same love and care as June. We share our space with two feline friends, Martini and Malone. They're seasoned experts in coexisting with dogs, ensuring a harmonious environment for all our four-legged guests. For cat owners: As a self-appointed cat lady, my passion for these graceful creatures knows no bounds. With two of my own, and dreams of having a whole pride (if my husband would allow it!), you can trust that your cats will be in the hands of someone who adores them as much as you do. While I currently have two cherished cats, I've had the pleasure of fostering numerous kittens through CFFR. Fostering cats has not only expanded my knowledge but also my love for cats. I understand the unique needs and temperaments that cats can have, and I'm committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for every feline friend that enters my care. No matter your cat's quirks, I'm equipped to provide them with the attention and care they need. Administering medicine to our feline friends can be a daunting task, but it's one I'm more than comfortable with. I have experience in ensuring your cat receives their medication in a stress-free and gentle manner. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Feel free to reach out, and let's arrange a meet-and-greet to see if we're the perfect match for your beloved pets! Caring for pets is not just a hobby, but an integral part of my daily life. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I have the privilege of being with your baby full-time. This means they'll have my undivided attention, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved throughout the day. Regular feeding schedules, exercise routines, and ample cuddle time are all seamlessly integrated into our day. Additionally, my experience as a foster parent for CFFR has further enriched my understanding of various pet needs and behaviors. This means I'm adept at catering to individual quirks and preferences, ensuring your pet feels safe and content during their stay with me. In case any special care is required, such as administering medication, you can trust that I have the expertise to handle it with care and patience. Ultimately, pet care is not just a task, but a genuine passion of mine. Your pet will not only receive essential care but also the love and attention they deserve, making them feel right at home. When your cherished pet stays with me, they become a part of our family. They'll enjoy a cozy and stimulating environment filled with comfortable spots for relaxation and play. Feeding schedules are strictly adhered to, and fresh water is always available. Regular potty breaks and outdoor adventures in a secure, pet-friendly space are also on the agenda. For any special requirements, such as medication administration or specific dietary needs, you can trust that I'll handle them with precision and care. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my top priorities.

“Tory was great! She was super flexible with a last minute ask, and Cooper liked her immediately. Tory sent updates during his stay, and he was obviously relaxed and enjoying his time with her. I highly recommend Tory, and will look to her next time we need dog care.”

About: I am passionate about pups! I would love to walk or run with your dogs in the community for some quality outdoor fun. I can also entertain your furry friends in the comfort of their own home. I truly enjoy taking care of dogs because they make me so doggone happy! I have two of my own (Oscar and Kameo) who are both rescues. I've had dogs my whole life and am very comfortable around them whether they are large or small. I am young and active and really enjoy taking dogs out for some special outdoor time--it's fun to see how happy they become when they are running around and exploring. My schedule is flexible and I am generally available to watch your your dog(s) seven days a week and most holidays. I am available for housesitting and overnights schedule permitting. Join the Woof Pack! You won't be disappointed.

“I can't recommend Sandy enough. We were in a bind needing a last-minute sitter, and she was incredibly responsive and flexible. She made the logistics simple. My fiancé had no trouble at all coordinating drop-off and pick-up. While we were away, she sent photo updates that showed our dog relaxed and happy. When we picked him up, he was clearly well-cared for and in great spirits. Sandy truly saved the day. Thank you!”

“Another Great experience with Haven. Easy pick up and drop off, she updated me throughout the day and sent photos from their adventures! My pup was exhausted which only makes the Rest of my day easier as well. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a caretaker for your doggo and loom forward to scheduling again!”

Casey M.

“Courtney took great care of my two anxious little rescue pups! I could tell they had a relaxing time staying with her, which is no small thing, since they tend to get very nervous with a new sitter. I would definitely use Courtney’s services again.”

Stephanie H.

“I was nervous to leave my dog alone with someone but Stacey was great! She communicated well and sent a picture of my dog, he was not with her for very long but she still was able to squeeze in a good walk that tired my energetic boy. He was in really good hands”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10. I have been a dog walker for my family, who has always had 3-4 large dogs. I have taken hundreds of beach walks/neighborhood walks with my own dogs and neighbors dogs that I have been asked to watch. I currently work remote and have time to stay with the dog for longer periods of time, I love taking long walks especially. I have more time on weekdays as I take frequent walks, I often leave town on the weekends or am out of the house. I have a yard, but it is not fenced. I would keep the dog inside with me at all times and always keep an eye on him/her. On walks I will always be attentive and keep the dog on leash as needed/required.

“Wonderful experience. Very communicative, easily reachable and flexible. Tazz had a great time and will definitely want to come back!”

“Natalie was amazing! It was my first time using rover and was an amazing experience. It was a last minute request and she responded very fast and kept me updated. I would def ask her again in the future.”

Jessica N.

“Nicole and Ethan were great communicators throughout our stay and so very caring! Our pup had a great time with them and their dog, and we enjoyed our vacation knowing she was in good hands.”
