“Noah was terrific with our cats and came on time and was polite and courteous. We appreciate Noah’s communication and picture updates. Thank you! We recommend Noah!”

“Lisa is honest, caring, and responsible. Our animals love her! While living near us she has cared for our horses, dogs, and cats. She walked our dog 2 miles a day. We wish she lived closer to us so that we could have her come more often!”

About: And I want to hang with your doggo! I grew up with a dog, I dog-sat since I was 12, & I currently have 2 dogs of my own! I love pets! I can handle multiple dogs at once, I deal with 2 dogs every day. I am confident in handling reactive dogs. My dogs can be reactive on leash so I have learned to be proactive about avoiding confrontation with other animals when needed. I am open to watching & helping medicate older dogs. I got my dog when he was a puppy, so I am also comfortable looking over pups. Dogs can sense a person’s vibe & I have always been a person that dogs are drawn to. I have good energy, confident body language, & I know when to step up to set a boundary. And don’t worry, while I am hanging with your dog(s), my pups won’t be alone. Their loving mama will be with them. I do work a full time job (M-F, 9-5) but I work from home. Depending on location, I can take a work break to go walk your dog. For pet-sitting I am free all evening & I could bring my computer for an overnight weekday stay if necessary. I am free most weekends & weekday evenings/nights. I have a fully fenced property (front, sides, & back) that your dog will fully enjoy. I also have 2 fur friends of my own who would love to play with a new friend if you so desire. I can also keep them separate from your dog. If pet-sitting at your home, I will treat your place with respect. I am a clean person by nature & will follow any house rules given to me. My goal is to make sure you enjoy your time away without any worry or stress about your dog/home.

“Laura was great while checking in on our cat! She was communicative, prompt, and you can tell how much she loves animals. We will be using here again!”

“Courtney was the nicest pet loving person during our meet n greet. I knew she'd be great with our kitties. She sent great photos and updates. She even brought my mail/packages inside the house.”

“My dog, Otis, LOVES Justin. We used to be housemates and when I came home from work, I’d find Otis hanging out with Justin! And when Justin came home, Otis was so excited to see him. He’s great with animals and treats them like his own!”

“Monica is simply an awesome pet sitter who has a real heart and love for your pet. She gives your pet all the love and attention they need and more. Her attention to every detail in caring for your dog, especially spending time and walking your dog) is meticulously managed. My dog loves her and I would prefer to use no one else other than Monica for my beloved pet. I highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter!”

“I had the pleasure of having Nicole take care of my pittie, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her professionalism and care. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, ensuring I felt at ease while I was away. Nicole went above and beyond to ensure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. My dog absolutely adores her, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to Nicole again in the future.”

“Audrey was wonderful with our older, yellow lab while we were out of town for a few days. He received lots of love and attention, and she did a great job of communicating with us, including photos. We got to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our boy. We came home to a healthy, happy dog. Thank you, Audrey!!”

“Morgan is great! She took good care of my cat and gave me updates of her visits. I returned to a happy cat.”

“I highly recommend Summer! I frequently travel for work, and Summer is my go-to caretaker and only person I trust with my fur babies. Summer is extremely reliable, responsible, and genuinely concerned for the dogs' well-being. She treats them as her own. Kona, a Doberman mix, and Moonbeam, a Golden, both love to play at the beach. I receive regular reports and photos every day, including their beach time play. They love their time with her! I also have no concerns about allowing Summer to use my vehicle to transport the dogs while I am away. Thankful to have found Summer!”

“Great communication & loved seeing the pictures every day of Caicos ? will definitely book you again!”

“My old, diabetic cat can be anxious around new people. Julia was kind and patient and gained my little guys trust. The communication was great and I loved receiving picture updates. Made our weekend trip away stress free!”

About: Hey Carpinteria and surrounding locals! My name is Merrit, and I’m a teacher by day, wife, and dog mom of two by night! My two furry ones are a hoot! Sespe, is our 2 year old, 60lb mix of German Short Hair Pointer, Great Pyrenees, and Husky. She’s a lover of people and dogs. My smaller dog, Sierra, is a little more spicy with 9lbs of Miniature Pincher and Rat Terrier. My primary experience with dogs comes from raising and training both of mine. Both of my dogs have had professional dog training and are trained to be on and off leash. Their boundaries in our house vary by dog but, abide to the standards we set. Both of my dogs are very active with me, trail running, hiking, climbing and camping. If you're looking for someone who is used to a high-energy dog, I'm your girl! All of that said, I'm hoping that if you'd like to use my services, that you may have a little piece of mind knowing that I'm a dog owner myself. Lastly, I’m here to help our locals who are in need of pet care as I know how it feels when you can’t find anyone to help. As a teacher, my schedule is mostly limited to early mornings, after school hours, and weekends. However, we typically have the holidays off and I'm usually home with my furry ones. If you need help, please send a text and I’ll do what I can! My intention in caring for your pet(s), is to care for them as you would. Your pet's well-being, enrichment, and engagement is main purpose (in addition to making your life easier!). However, your house and pet rules, will become *my house and pet rules, and I promise to adhere to the needs you lay out for your pet.
