House Sitting in Santa Maria

“Maria took great care of our 2 active pups. Arrived on time, made sure to get instructions from us, kept us informed while we were away and Hefner we returned let us know how the night went. Most of all are pups were happy and had a great time with her ! Highly recommend”

“Ashley did a great job taking care of our dog over the holidays. She sent us lots of pictures, our dog is content and not stressed upon our return, and the house is cleaner than when we left. Would definitely hire her again, in fact I already have!”

“Jami was attentive to Goose and updating us on their adventures. She was communicative and made us feel comfortable leaving for our time away from home. We’ll be reaching out again, if she’s available.”

“Jeanette was absolutely amazing! We found ourselves needing a dogsitter very last minute for the next day and Jeannete came to our rescue! She literally drove from another city to look after our and our friend’s dogs. She was timely, responsive and gave us plenty updates. She even took our dogs on multiple walks for the few hours she looked after them and made sure they were at ease. I came home to very happy puppies and I’ll highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry ones.”

“Karen S. is an extremely passionate pet owner! She treats all animals, whether her own cats and dogs or someone else's as if they are her children. She is very competent, trustworthy and dependable! I completely trust her to care for my beloved fur babies. Janet”

“Celeste was fantastic house-sitting our two doggos while we were out for 7-days. She sent pictures through out the week which was really nice. I highly recommend her and will be re-booking again in the future.”

“Great Communication and very happy dogs!”

“It was my puppy’s first time without us being home and Alexis never gave up and was able to still get her needs cared for even tho my puppy was in ultra protective mode and not friendly!! Thank you Alexis”

About: Hi Animal Friendly Families! I am a student looking for consistent pet sitting/walking jobs. I would describe myself as patient, fast learning, and an easy person to conversate with! I am ready to learn specific cleanliness routines for your house for the well-being for your furr babies! I am currently working part time, while also balancing school (majoring in Early Childhood Development). Working and communicating with pet families in my opinion is very important when working closely with someones animal and their homes. Making sure their basic needs are met, (food, water, potty, play!) while also keeping supervision and creating a space to ensure the animals saftey. My fur baby, 15 years old, has a condition that causes seizures on the semi-regular basis, adapting to this I seem to always be ultra aware of the health and safety of puppies and kitties no matter their age or health diagnosis:)

“I'm so happy I found Paige to watch my animals ( 5 dogs, 2 cats, 1 chinchilla) while I was on vacation. She is great with animals. She kept me updated on how they were all doing, Sent me pictures of them which was great. Overall I had peace of mind that they were in good hands while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Paige to anyone looking for someone to watch their animals while they are away.”

“Hailey was a great sitter! She was extremely responsive and communicative. Thankful that she accepted a sitting request on such short notice. Hailey also gave my dog his necessary medications on schedule! Will use her again”

“Bradley was reliable and punctual watching Bandit. Thank you.”

“Melissa was wonderful and our two senior boxers loved her! We were attending a wedding in Santa Barbara and she watched the dogs in our hotel room while we were at the event. She was professional and responsible from our very first contact with her. She went out of her way to be accommodating to us and our dogs and kept us posted with pictures and texts while we were gone. Great sitter!”

“Mia has always been loving and attentive to her pets. She has been a great pet sitter and pet walker anytime we have left her in charge of them and the home.”

“Becky was a great communicator.”

“Hailey was amazing with our giant boy Diesel. She had concerns about his size so asked to come and meet him before committing. Diesel quickly won her over and by the end of the weekend she was his new best friend. Hailey is very communicative and clearly cares very much for the pets in her care. Our Diesel can be a lot at 110 lbs and Hailey handled him with love. I would recommend Hailey to anyone.”

“Ashlyn is the most loving and caring individual I have ever met. She loves all animals and does extremely well at making them feel happy and loved. She has taken care of my own dogs and they are always so excited when they get to be pampered by her. Your pet will absolutely love Ashlyn just like mine do.”

“My dog Zia is very shy when first meeting people. Zia barked a little bit shortly after she warmed up to Josseline. She is great and kind. I would definitely ask her to come watch our fur baby again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child. I was active in 4H raising various breeds of livestock. I have been house sitting with pets for a number of years, in their home and in my own. I try to mostly book overnight house sittings on the weekends as I work full-time during the week. I have a flexible schedule, where I am able to be home during my lunch breaks. The pets are the focus of my daily routine. Each pet is different and will be different in the way I provide their care, whether that be kennel trained sleeping, specific patterns for food/medications. I would like details of how you would like your pet(s) to be taken care of so I can provide them the best, safest and secure normalcy while pet sitting.

“We are very attached to our fur baby and were nervous about leaving him alone too long (only 15 months old) preferred not to kennel him so checked out Rover. Ambar is so warm and calm, very comfortable with our large goofy lab. She sent pics, walked him and spoiled him with belly rubs. She is amazing !”
