House Sitting in Santa Ynez

“Our dog loves Adoria and we really likely her too! She is kind and a very good communicator. We appreciate that she brings some treats and love for our dog as well. Thank you Adoria!”

“Kenia is an amazing sitter! She was very accommodating with my last minute need for pet care. She was very thorough and communicative with me about my pup while I was away. I loved receiving pictures and seeing how well taken care of my pup was with kenia. I hope to book kenia again in the future! Your pets are in great hands with her!!”

“Just came back from a weekend with the family. Ellen stayed with our 3 pups and gave us some peace of mind while gone. Ellen kept us updated on how they were doing and sent frequent pix. Walks, playtime and cuddles for all. They were a handful in our absence, but Ellen took care of everything. She was respectful of the house, too. Everything was clean and doggos were happy.”

“Anna was an excellent sitter for our large mastiff. Our dog was very relaxed and happy when we came home. She did a great job and definitely worth the money. We will hire her in the future for sure.”

About: In training as a canine massage practitioner. I have experience with all size and ages of dogs. Happy to provide drop in care, walks and more. I’m generally up by 8am and free to spend time walking, playing with or checking in on your pup! I live in Solvang proper but am happy to travel throughout the SYV and further with a potential additional travel cost. I have two, very affectionate dogs that love other dogs and a very flexible schedule. I like to provide both mental and physical stimulation as well as lots of love

“Natalie surpassed anything I expected, while taking care of Mia. She kept me well informed about their activities and from the pictures she sent, Mia looked happy, which is all you want when you travel away from your pup. My house was very clean and well taken care of too. I would definitely book with Natalie again and I know Mia would be happy to see her.”

“Pearl is someone who loves dogs and dogs love her. She has a calm and confident presence in her day to day and work lives that make those around her feel more calm and focused as well. She carries this on to how she interacts with animals, with love and care and calm and it makes all the dogs I’ve seen her with absolutely love her. Pearl is able to handle a variety of intense situations, as I’ve seen her do in past and current job positions. I have had her watch multiple dogs of mine in the past and she is able to adapt of their specific temperaments well and I trust that she would care of any dog with love and thoughtfulness. -Liana S”

“It was the first time leaving my fur baby and Dominic was the most reliable perfect person!”

“Meg and I have known each other professionally for close to 20 years. In all of those years, I’ve known Meg to be a hard working, compassionate and conscientious person. When I heard that Meg was house sitting, I immediately booked her for my next trip away. Meg was easy to communicate with, and provided excellent care for my home, cat, chickens and ducks. Everything was left clean and the cat was clearly in a good mood when I returned. He likes to be pet regularly and Meg sent pictures of them cuddling up, which put my mind at rest. Meg also communicated when the animals were in at night and safe from predators. This was such a nice personal touch for me, because I tend to be a worrier. One really need not worry when Meg is in charge. Meg is a considerate, capable, intelligent and honest person who would be an asset to any person’s home or work life.”

“Having known Lisa personally and as a pet caregiver, I've witnessed her exceptional dedication and genuine love for pets firsthand. Her responsible and caring nature makes her the perfect choice for any furry friend's caregiver!”

“Emily has lived with dogs and horses her entire life. She has worked with all types of animals and has an instinctive love and understanding for them. She has trained her animals and they are extremely well behaved. Her dogs travel with her for her job and adjust to varied locations, people and situations. She loves living in the Santa Ynez alley due to all the types of animals. She is a responsible and mature woman and I would trust her with my dogs.”

“My puppy loves him!”

“Lillian was wonderful! She took such great care of our animals and the house. We will definitely be using her services in the future!”

“Ivan is an amazing kind person and has 2 dogs of his own. He’s helped take care of my dog in the past and he always makes sure that my dog gets satisfied”

“Heather was absolutely wonderful! From the meet+greet and throughout our stay, we could tell she really is an animal person. She sent wonderful pics & videos and was a great communicator. Big thumbs up!”

“Shaundra was kind enough to care for my 6 dogs in my home over the Christmas holiday. She's friendly and did very well with our dogs, especially when it came to our aggressive male. I was a little worried because he doesn't do well with strangers, but every time I checked in on the Furbo cam, he was calm and relaxed. And every time I checked in on them or to drop some treats, they were all snuggled up around her on the sofa! It was the first time we've ever hired a dog sitter and I am pleased to say it was a great choice hiring Shaundra. We've actually already booked her for another weekend get-away! Thank you Shaundra.”

About: I have grown up with large dogs since I was a young child. Growing up I frequently took care of relatives' animals when they were out of town. 3 years ago, in college, I adopted my own dog when he was 6 months old. He was completely untrained and afraid. I am proud to say that he and I both put in so much work into his training. I housebroke, leash-trained, and recall trained him on my own. He knows multiple commands and gets along with dogs of all sizes. He is one of the most important things in my life so I completely understand the love and care pet owners have when it comes to choosing care for their animals! I currently work part-time and am a law student (online). I do school from home in the evenings and spend a few hours each day studying. I am available to make 2-3 visits to your home for walks/potty breaks. I have a small fenced yard, quiet neighborhood, nearby dog park, 5 minutes from Hendry's beach. My dog is large but very gentle with small dogs and puppies. He also loves to rough house with dogs his size but is never too aggressive.

“Macy was wonderful! Tucker loved spending time with her. She went above and beyond sending updates and made us super comfortable that our boy was safe. Thank you Macy!”

“Kim is a HUGE animal lover. She treats my dog like it is her own; with lots of love, kisses, snuggling and playing in the outdoors. I've observed her take exquisite care of the farm animals she is responsible for. Each chicken and duck has a name and she cares for them so that they feel cared for and safe.”

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.
