Dog Boarding Santa Ynez

“Brittany is amazing! She went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and needs to watch our pup the night of our wedding. Brittany is a true dog lover with immense compassion and can tell where your dog's comfort zone is, and if/when they're comfortable being eased out of it into something new. I'd recommend Brittany to anyone in a heartbeat--your fur-baby is in excellent hands!”

“Danielle provided excellent care for our Lilly. We appreciated the pictures updating us on how Lilly was doing during her stay. Also, we appreciated Danielle's extra attention and care since Lilly did get a bit of an upset stomach during her stay. Lilly was in great spirits when we returned from our trip and no doubt it was because of Danielle's care for her.”

“Like most of the other reviews....our dog Emna came home tired and smiling. Jeanine took her out to the dog park and to Maffitt Reservoir to run around and get plenty of exercise. Emma is our only dog so it was nice for her to have other dogs close to her size to run around with and socialize with. She has a doggy door that the dogs can come and go as they please into the back yard. She was very flexible and willing to work with our schedule for drop off and pick ups. She even sent us home with a few doogy treats and a new dog toy. When we need her in the future we will use her services. Thanks again Jeanine!!!!!!!!”

“Monique was great! We scheduled last minute for an out of town trip and there were no issues, Monique happily accepted our request. She was such welcoming and kind person. We received updates with pictures of our pup and he seemed like he was right at home. Such a good experience with Monique and we’d definitely request her again.”

“Karrie was so loving and accommodating to my nervous pup. I loved receiving pictures and updates. Daily visits to the park were wonderful for my pup to try out socializing. Thanks so much Karrie!”

About: I’ve spent over 30 years caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and professionally. My approach is intuitive, compassionate, and grounded in a lifetime of hands-on experience. I run a local Montecito dog walking business, working with dogs of all breeds and specializing in big, athletic, and high-energy dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a Montecito-based business owner and endurance athlete, I spend much of my time on the trails and beaches — often with a dog by my side. My lifelong love of animals, combined with my endurance background, makes me especially well-suited for larger or high-energy breeds. I genuinely love bonding with dogs and take pride in being a calm, confident presence — a natural pack leader they can trust. I care for the dogs I walk as if they were my own — with plenty of love, attention, and respect for their individual needs. I’m known for giving dogs the exercise they truly crave, whether that’s an energizing trail walk, a beach romp, or a steady neighborhood outing. I stay fully present and engaged, making sure each walk is safe, stimulating, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and personality.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember! 🐾 I’ve had dogs since I was about 6 years old, and growing up, my sisters and I always had a fur baby (or two… or five!) to love. 🩷 I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been a huge part of my life—from dogs and guinea pigs to bunnies, birds, goats, and chickens! I truly love being around animals and getting to know all their different personalities. Your fur baby will be treated like family while they’re with me—with lots of love, attention, playtime, belly rubs, and plenty of cuddles (if they’re into that 😉). My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶💕 I work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your fur baby the attention, love, and care they deserve! 🐾 I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles, while still being around to keep them company. I love having animals around while I work, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day! 🩷 I have a sweet 9-month-old puppy named Aria who loves making new friends! 🐶💕 She enjoys playing with other dogs and would be happy to have some company, but I always make sure each dog is comfortable and gets the space and attention they need. I also have an extra-large crate available if your pup is crate-trained or needs some quiet time, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine and your instructions

“Cheryl has the perfect place and location for Fraulein Polka. She came home to us happy and well adjusted. We look forward to sending her to Cheryl for a longer stay.”

“Kaitlyn and her family took such great care of my fur baby!! She made sure to send pictures and gave me updates daily. My pup had a blast on walks and playing in the backyard with her family! She was extremely caring and loving with my dog like he was her own. I highly recommend Kaitlyn as your next sitter!!”

“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.

“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!”

“We absolutely loved Lianne she took such good care of our anxious little dog and helped us with socialization which was something we were nervous about. She even took her on great adventures which we loved seeing. Would definitely hire her again, thanks Lianne!”

About: I have trained two large breed puppies as well as cared for and walked dogs of all sizes. I absolutely love getting outside with all dogs! My schedule is very open, I am currently in nursing school and have a long day on Monday, but aside from that I am around the house frequently and am available. I am very caring for everyone’s pup and will follow all instructions and exceed those as well. I love to get outside and go for walks, hikes, or even just throw the ball!

About: I’m a pet parent to 3 cats and 1 dog, and over the years I’ve worked with multiple trainers to better understand animal behavior and communication. I’ve also volunteered at shelters, where I learned how to read body language, recognize stress signals, and support animals with patience and compassion. I love my own fur babies deeply, and I’ll care for yours with the same level of love, respect, and attention. If pricing is a concern, feel free to message me I’m always open to discussing options. Additionally, I am open to chickens, reptiles, and other pets. I work remotely, so I’m able to spend most of the day with your fur baby. For overnight stays, I may need a few short breaks during the day, and we can go over what works best for your pet during our meet‑and‑greet. I love being outdoors, and there’s no better company than a furry friend by my side. I’m available for walks and check‑ins Monday through Friday, as well as weekends and overnight stays. If you’d like to set up a meet‑and‑greet, feel free to message me. I make it a priority to communicate with you about your pet’s individual needs so every detail is understood and every comfort is met. I also take time to learn about any stresses, triggers, or special routines your fur baby may have. I usually recommend a meet‑and‑greet either in person or over Zoom to go over your pet’s daily schedule, since keeping their routine consistent helps reduce stress while you’re away. Every pet is unique, and this meeting allows us to cover everything thoroughly. The first meet‑and‑greet is free; any additional meetings may include a small fee. If you’d like to set one up, feel free to message me.

About: I have always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m skilled at providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, and general companionship. Whether your pet needs extra snuggles or a high-energy play session, I’m here to ensure they feel loved and well cared for. I can visit 2-3 times a day to feed, walk, or check in on your pet, ensuring they’re happy and cared for while you're away. I’m flexible with my schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits to fit your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s overnight, daily care or occasional check-ins, I’m here to help! I prioritize creating a safe and stress-free environment for every pet. In your home, I make sure to follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime routines. I ensure your pet stays safe by using secure leashes for walks, monitoring their behavior, and avoiding risky situations.

“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!”
