Doggy Day Care in Santa Ynez

“Ashley was great with our Calvin! She offered to pick him up each night and drop him off and he got to play with her fur babies on their nice property. She was very easy to communicate with and answered quickly. He definitely enjoyed his time there.”

About: Since I was a just a kid I have loved all kinds of dogs, I know all the great dog parks in the area to play fetch or just let them run free (in the gated park of coarse) and even enjoy taking them on hikes threw out the city or to the beach on a sunny day! We can play fetch or tug o war, lay inside and hangout or go outside and enjoy the sun. When provided I will feed your pet and give them water when needed; and I will even give your pet treats or rewards for good behavior or fun tricks they may know. I can also provide possible grooming upon request and for an extra fee depending on grooming request and dog size and age.

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.

“Thank you for taking excellent care of Winnie while I attended a wedding! She clearly enjoyed her time with you and your son. I love that you prioritized her comfort on a very hot day, let her hang out on your bed, and accepted my absurd amount of dog supplies that I handed you at drop-off. I appreciate that after it became clear your dog was a bit much for her (un-neutered and a little too boy-ish), you kept them separate. Would re-book if I came back to the area and needed help in the future!”

“All went smooth. David, and his young kids, were very nice to my dogs. It was sweet to see the kids engaging so calmly with my small terriers. I got the dogs back tired and thirsty (they went for a good walk before pick up). I would have David (and his family) watch my dogs again.”

About: As a dedicated and responsible animal lover, I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your furry family members. I share custody of a wonderful 5-year-old, and I rent a room in my home to a tenant who has a 12-year-old blind and deaf chihuahua and a sweet, friendly cat who stays out of the way. This diverse pet experience ensures I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of pet needs. I've been a mom to dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, from a teeny tiny 4lb chihuahua to a 140lb mastiff (who was hilariously scared of the chihuahua!). My heart is big, and I’m a sucker for all creatures. I volunteer at the animal shelter as often as possible, and I foster underage puppies and kittens for the local agency Spark Rescue until they are ready for adoption. With a flexible work schedule, I can easily accommodate your needs. I’m physically fit and active, enjoying hiking and beach outings, but I’m just as happy to chill if that’s what Fido or Fluffy prefers. As a homeowner, I can ensure a stable and safe environment for your pets. I am comfortable with special dietary needs and have experience with litters of puppies and elderly dog care. I’m not afraid to get dirty and have administered insulin shots to a diabetic cat, so I’m not squeamish about medical needs either. I promise to love your fur baby as much as you do! Currently, I work from home part-time, offering me full flexibility and availability to meet your needs with a little notice. I’m all about pets and snuggles, and I will always ensure that any special needs or requests you have are taken care of to the best of my ability! I work from home part-time, with my little one in school and shared custody, allowing me the flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs with a little notice. Whether it's an active day of play or a cozy snuggle session, I'm here to provide loving care for your furry friend. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, loving space with constant supervision and attention. At your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring comfort and consistency. I am experienced with special dietary needs, medical care, and providing a safe, engaging environment tailored to each pet's needs.

“Kim was awesome! Our dog was comfortable with Kim and her dog t from the start. She took him for a hike and sent a picture of him resting afterwards. You can really tell that Kim loves dogs!”

About: I have lived on a ranch for most of my life and have had many loving animals to raise and take care of and as such I am well equipped for your pets. I am currently looking for additional income to supplement my other part time job. I would however if hired prioritize pet care over my other job. I have three amazing dogs and tons of cats that I care for with love, pets, food, cleaning up their messes, and toys. I love spending time with them at the dog park, taking walks, laser pointers, etc.

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors’ dogs and family pets my whole life. I grew up with big dogs, so I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities. I’m responsible, active, and always make sure dogs get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I treat every dog with the same warmth and respect i would give my own. My schedule is extremely flexible since I take online classes, so I’m home most of the day. This lets me give pets plenty of attention, walks, and consistent care whenever they need it. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and watched closely. I follow whatever routine your dog is used to, and I’m careful with doors, leashes, and feeding. Whether I’m at your home or mine, I create a calm, secure environment and keep you updated with photos so you always know your dog is doing great.

“Cheryl and Honey made Winter’s stay fun. Winter was a happy and tired camper after spending 1/2 day with them. I will be using their services in the future.”

“Rebecca is a terrific sitter! Charlie had a great stay and was very comfortable right away. Rebecca is great with communication and sending loads of photos.”

Laura A.

About: We have always had dogs and have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs. We recently lost our beloved dog, Jayce, who was 12 years old. He had a ton of medical issues over his life, so we are very familiar with things like special diets, and both oral and topical medications. My husband, Marty, and I are both retired and spend most of our days at home. We love to be outside doing yard work or just hanging out. We have a large, fenced yard with lots of grass to run and play. We recently lost our beloved 12-year-old dog, Jayce so we truly enjoy having our Rover dogs here to help fill the void. We always have our doors open to the backyard so your pup will be free to come and go inside or out but would be supervised at all times. We live close to the Goleta bike path to take walks and would provide daily photos of our time together to make you feel at ease while you are away.

About: As an ex-military professional woman in my mid-40s, I bring the perfect mix of discipline, responsibility, and genuine affection to dog care. Dogs thrive when they feel both secure and loved, and I make sure they get both. With experience in Schutzhund training, I have a deep understanding of drive, focus, and structure in working dogs. I’m also confident handling reactive dogs—helping them feel calm, safe, and understood. Over the years, I’ve shared my life with Dutch Shepherds, Anatolian Shepherds, and now my own fuzzy beast, a Chow/Rottweiler mix—so large breeds and strong personalities don’t faze me. Whether your pup needs structured exercise, clear boundaries, or just a steady and reliable companion, I tailor care to their temperament. You’ll get regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. My mission is simple: happy, balanced dogs and peace of mind for their humans. Training stays consistent, routines stay steady, cats stay mischievous. I’ll love on your pet like they’re my own—providing walks, following your rules, and keeping their training consistent so routines stay on track. Dogs get structure, exercise, and attention tailored to their needs. Cats, on the other hand, make their own rules—so they’ll be free to roam, explore, and enjoy the space exactly as you allow. For me, pet sitting is about blending care, consistency, and companionship, giving your pets the comfort of home even while you’re away. In your home, I follow your rules closely so your pets stay comfortable and routines remain familiar. For dogs, I provide safe one-hour walks that give them structure and exercise. For cats, I make sure they feel secure while still enjoying the freedom to roam, explore, and curl up in their favorite spots. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their well-being always comes first. I also offer free pick-up and drop-off anywhere in Montecito, Santa Barbara, or Goleta, so you can relax knowing both you and your pets are covered.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life and have always seen them as a significant part of my family. I have experience in taking care of puppies (4 weeks & up), middle aged dogs, and elderly dogs. My family has always prioritized meeting the needs of all of our pets, and I look forward to doing the same for your fur babies. :) I am currently enrolled in summer courses at UC Santa Barbara, but have plenty of free time within my schedule. I am available in the mornings before 12pm and the afternoons/evenings after 2 pm, monday-thursday. On friday and the weekends I have open availability. I currently live in a fairly small apartment with other housemates so for any overnight requests, I would prefer it to be an in-house service. For requests that are just for the day or a few hours, I would be more than happy to keep your pup safe and entertained in my home.

“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!”
