House Sitting in Solvang

“Ellen is the best! She’s watched our pup on a handful of overnights and he loves her. She’s communicative, friendly, takes Walt on walks and gives him lots of cuddles while we’re away. She’s our go-to sitter in town!”

“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.”

“Adoria took such good care of our Bailey and our home. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing she is. My partner and I had to travel across the country for a memorial service. We were stressed out and fretting about leaving our Bailey during such a difficult time. When I found Adoria's profile on Rover, I already knew she was the perfect fit. I submitted a request and sure enough, I received a thorough and prompt reply. Her availability matched up and I booked her as quickly as possible. After our meet and greet, I felt so much ease as our Bailey was giddy to meet Adoria, showing off her butt wiggles and giving her some kisses. I knew the two of them would become good friends. And that's just it - I felt the connection immediately and through Adoria's daily communication, I could hear the love through her text and see the love through each photo. Adoria cared for Bailey as I would and even took her on hiking adventures around the Bay Area! Bailey is such a trail seeker, and Adoria fulfilled Bailey's desires. I just knew that Bailey and our home were in great care with Adoria. When my partner and I came back at the end of the week, Bailey ran to us with kisses and then ran outside to look around... I firmly believe she was looking for Adoria. Bailey made such a good friend. I am very grateful to have found Adoria and we will be booking again.”

“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!”

“Alex was wonderful! She was on time, asked wonderful questions about how to care for our dogs. She sent updates, with photos, every day and kept me in the loop on anything important. Our dogs were so relaxed and obviously well cared for while we were gone!”

“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”

“Lisa is very caring and responsible towards pets. She treats them as her very own, with so much love. She’s great and will exceed all expectations.”

“Anna was amazing! I got photo updates of my furbabies every few hours. The boys (3 yr Blue Heeler and 5 mth Boston) looked like they had a lot of enrichment and fun play time over the two days. Thank you Anna! Highly recommended.”

About: I have always pet and house sat for neighbors, family friends, my family, my girlfriend's family. I am a home body and enjoy watching over and protecting people's homes and beloved animals while they are away. I am always apprehensive leaving my pets alone with a stranger, that is why I strive to make people feel safe and comfortable. I have always been an animal person and have done pet-sitting as a favor to people. I figured, now as a nineteen year old, why not make it a nice little side hustle to earn some extra money for college. I live in Solvang California and I work a part time job on the weekdays. Other than that I can walk dogs, do drop in visits and I can stay in your house to watch over your animals. Each pet is unique, I appreciate when owners walk me through their routine, leave notes and emergency contact info, if anything were to happen. I want to make both the animals and owners comfortable, and like everyone to be on the same page. Communication is very valuable.

“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: 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

“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.”

“Jocelyn is amazing with animals from small to big, as well with the ones with the calmest personalities to the most hyper. I would trust my dog with her as I know that my baby would have the most wonderful time as well as being safe. She’ll always be first choice if I ever need to leave the care of my baby with someone else.”

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.

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.

About: Ive had all kinds of pets my whole life from birds, fish, cats, dogs, and even turtles. Ive even volunteered at shelters to add onto my experience it has not only been personal but also professional. Im currently working part time and going to school but i have lots of free time in between and on weekends to connect with your pets:) If given direct instructions i can accommodate to these needs for your pets guaranteed comfortable experience even without direct instructions i feel that i know what is best to keep a fur baby comfortable under my care
