1. Jennifer H.
“Jennifer is wonderful! She took Ziggy to the beach then gave her a bath! She was able to dedicate her time and attention to my young puppy because she was not caring for other dogs at the time. I highly recommend Jen for any dog parents who need care. I will definitely be calling her back.”
2. Georgina C.
“Georgina is the best petsitter we've ever had! She is prompt, reliable, and communicative. Our dog is reactive and extremely leery of strangers, but Georgina easily won her over with her gentle, intuitive dog-sense and calm demeanor. She has also been great with our cats, rabbits, and chickens. I highly recommend her as a dog walker and petsitter.”
3. Gurudatt P.
“Friendly, kind, and flexible! I appreciate how well the Meet and Greet went and how all my questions were answered. Really liked that it was just my little pups for daycare those two days ( in addition to their extremely mellow dog). Everything went really well. Definitely recommend!”
4. Jessie S.
“Jessie does an amazing job with my puppy Nala! She is super communicative and I love all the pictures and videos she sends. Nala is always excited to see her and always has the best time! Would definitely recommend her for your pup :)”
5. Jessica A.
“We were in town and Jessica watched our two pups while we explored! She was very friendly and responsive from the start. We got picture updates throughout the day and appreciated the Rover Card letting us know how the pups did as well. Would definitely request Jessica again when we’re back in town!”
6. Lara V.
“I have known Lara for approximately 18 years. She is a warm, caring, intelligent, thoughtful, responsible young lady and college student with many goals and aspirations. She has, on numerous occasions, taken care of my house as well as our two dogs and one bird. I would not hesitate to recommend her for a pet care/house care position; and, anyone hiring her would be lucky to have her working for them.”
7. Kate & Mark S.
“So thankful for Kate taking care of our pup! This was our first time doing doggy daycare with our rescue pup and we were thankful for the updates for the few hours we were gone and how thorough she was in making sure our pup was safe and comfortable.”
8. Cara O.
“My Mom taught me from the day I was born to have a love of animals. We had a cat when I was a baby who moved next door and then got Tessa, our Boglen Terrier, when I was 3. Tessa was our adored baby of the whole family and we were devastated when we lost her last year. Throughout the years, we've always helped other families care for their pets by either bringing them to our home or going to their homes if the pets were more comfortable with that. Sometimes my Mom and I have tag teamed pet care and together we just enjoy having daily animal companionship. With our family watching your pet you can bet they will get ALL the attention and love possible.”
9. Celeste Q.
“Celeste is great. Prompt communicator, trustworthy, and Tobi loves her pups! Will try to use her for dogsitting as much as I can. Thank you Celeste, Tuna, and Sashimi!”
10. Sijia W.
About: I have experience caring for small, medium, and large dogs, including Bichons, Corgis, and Alaskan Malamutes. These experiences have equipped me with extensive skills in dog care. I am passionate about furry companions. Due to studying abroad, I couldn’t bring my own pets with me, but my love and enthusiasm for all kinds of dogs remain strong. Currently, I am a student at UCSB. My coursework isn’t very demanding, so I have ample time to care for lovely pets. I am available all day on Mondays, from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Wednesdays, and all day on weekends. If you have any special requirements, feel free to discuss them with me. I look forward to meeting your pet and spending a delightful time together! I prioritize a safe, loving environment, ensuring pets feel comfortable and well-cared for. With my flexible schedule, I’m available to meet any special needs or routines you have for your pets. Communication is key, and I look forward to making sure your pets are happy and secure while you’re away.
11. Amber S.
“Amber was great! In the 12 hours my golden retriever was with her, they went on multiple walks and she was exhausted by the time we got home (that’s a good thing). They were even walking when I arrived to pick her up! Super sweet, lots of photos that we loved seeing. I highly recommend!”

18. Lillian D.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life since I have grown up around several dogs and cats in my household. I began actually pet-sitting as a side job when I was fourteen years old. Now, at 20 years old I also housesit people's properties, walk dogs, provide drop-ins, and stay overnight to watch over pets. Not only have I taken care of cats and dogs, but farm animals as well including goats, sheep, horses, ponies, alpaca and chickens. I love being around all kinds of animals. I like to keep very open and quick response time with my communication. I want to make the owners feel safe and comfortable with me watching over their fur babies and their home. I am a part time student at Allan Hancock Community College in Santa Maria, and commute on weekdays from the Santa Ynez Valley. I work a part-time job on weekends as well. I have housesitting gigs and babysit whenever I am not at school or work. Through Rover, I am hoping to gain more regular clients and meet new people and their adorable fur babies. I enjoy quality time with cats and dogs. Am able to watch over farm animals as well. I stay on top of things and am very proficient. I appreciate through instructions, since each owner is particular with their routine with their pets. I am very flexible and am excited to help in anyway I can!
19. Christian P.
About: Pets have always been in my household since I was a child. Growing up, my best friend & I would hang out on his farm on the weekends where I truly connected with caring for pets. My personal activities of meditating and connecting with nature through physical activity help me connect with animals. Pet owners constantly appraise me for seeing there pet friends be calm & tranquil under my care. Leading with your heart makes pet care not a job but a loving experience for the little ones when your away from home. Time management is my strong skill with my administrative experience and can incorporate pet care during my downtimes. Also flexible if a pet has a certain schedule/ routine. Don't believe I can have pets in my household but will be checking in with the app yo disable this service to allow pets in my household.
20. Macy W.
“I have two English Mastiffs that are usually wary of strangers (it's in their nature). Macy befriended them immediately and it was immediately evident that she is a genuine dog lover. I don't think they wanted to come home! I would 100% recommend Macy for any dog owner and will utilize her for all my future dog sitting needs.”
