1. Maddie S.
About: Hi! I’m Maddie, a caring and trustworthy veterinary technician with 11 years of experience in veterinary medicine. I currently working as a veterinary technician in specialty medicine in Santa Barbara, and have a lot of experience with dogs and cats. I received my bachelors degree in Animal Science at UC Davis, am currently working to become a registered veterinary technician, and I have also been petsitting for 4-5 years. I have two cats of my own, but also love dogs. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, senior dogs, or those that have special needs or need to be medicated. Walks or check-ins are preferred due to my schedule, but overnight care can be discussed. I can’t wait to help care for your furry friends! I am available for walks or check ins early in the morning or in the evening on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am available for 2-3 check ins per day and walks on my days off, generally Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I love morning walks in town, so I would love to take your dogs on those walks! I care for the pets as the owners request. If they require to be crated at night I can do so, or if they must sleep in the bed and require cuddles, that can also be done! I keep the home very clean, taking out trash if needed and will often clean up before I leave. I also keep the pets feeding areas clean and change the water regularly. I can also medicate and will give medications as prescribed and as directed by the owner. I can also water plants, take the garbage cans out, or anything else needed while caring for the home.

“I highly recommend Jennifer! She was accommodating, reliable, and fantastic with two my two young pups! She clearly took in everything we reviewed and went above and beyond. Thank you, Jennifer!”


3. Shaundra W.

“Shaundra is so wonderful. Our big dog is very territorial but doesn’t mind her at all. Our dog seems to really love her. He was well entertained every time she visited. It puts us at ease and hope to have Shaundra again in the future !”

“Mimi was so good with Kaldi . Made me feel so relaxed that I wasn't stressing being out of town ! She texted me photos of their outing . That was great to see knowing that my pup was enjoying herself and not just stuck at home . Thanks again Mimi for loving and being so nurturing to her . Sure made my day stress free !”


5. Kinnsey P.
“Kinnsey has watched my pets on several occasions and always does a fantastic job! I have two cats and one medium-sized dog, and they all absolutely adore her. My dog gets especially excited to see Kinnsey, which reassures me that he loves his time with her. Kinnsey is incredibly accommodating—she even takes my high-energy dog to daycare during the day while she’s working, so he can get his energy out. She also takes him on walks and plays with him when she’s home, ensuring he’s happy and well cared for. For my cats, Kinnsey is equally attentive. She visits them daily to provide wet food, fresh water, and clean their litter box, even though I have an automatic feeder for their dry food. She’s also great about sending updates and photos of my pets while I’m away, which means so much since I miss them when I’m gone. Kinnsey’s level of care is exceptional. If there’s ever an issue, she promptly informs me and is willing to do whatever is necessary, including administering medication if needed. She is truly a responsible, thoughtful, and loving caregiver, and I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry friends!”


6. Meighan J.

“Meighan did a wonderful job watching my cat, Meepers. Meighan was careful to check on her and send me photos. She even confirmed I came back. I'd definitely book Meighan for my sitter needs in the future. I recommend her to others as well.”


7. Tristan J.
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.


8. Kimberly Z.
“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.”


9. Lisa D.
“My experience with Lisa is amazing - She was my old supervisor at my current job whitch is a pet hospital. Lisa has such great experience with pets and she’s very amazing caring for them . With her long experience with dogs and cats she very great with animals. I think she would be a great candidate to be a pet sitter and pet walker !”


10. KayLynn A.
“KayLynn is always so sweet and loving to our two little girls! They love visiting her, and it’s easier to leave knowing they’re in such great hands. She sends lots of pictures and spoils them with cuddles, treats, and play time! Highly recommend KayLynn!”


11. Ashley T.

“We have two cats that require drop-in visits and Ashley was super responsive and flexible. We really appreciated her prompt replies and being able to book last minute. She shared photos and made sure they had enough food and water while we were away. Would definitely recommend Ashley.”


12. 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 Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. 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!

“Chantal did a great job feeding our cat Muffy! Scheduling is easy and her location is nearby here in the wonderful Santa Ynez Valley! Highly recommended!”


14. Michelle F.
“Michelle would be a Great care provider for your pet. Her and her daughters love all animals. They have always had dogs, cats and horses and take great care of them. Michelle and I have gone on many walks and hikes with her dogs to keep them active. I would totally trust them with my animals if only I lived closer😕.”


15. Paige T.
“Paige is fantastic and our pup loves her! We definitely recommend, she goes the extra mile for our fur baby. Super friendly and great communication.”


16. 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.


17. Collin F.

“Collin was fantastic ! He was professional and showed up each day on time. Spent quality time with our pups and sent me a report. He really put my mind at ease and our dogs LOVED him! We would highly recommend Collin!”


18. Caroline S.
“A ton of experience as a dog walker. She’s handled my 110 lb Great Pyrenees that I had and takes good care of my husky I have now. She will make sure they are well looked after and get lots of pets.”




19. 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.”


20. Jade K.
“Jade is a genuine kind hearted person I know. She goes above and beyond. She loves to help anyone out! Her love for animals is amazing! She is so good with my dog cookie ! I trust her with my dog and so should you (:”
