Pet Sitting South

“Kyle was invaluable by looking after our reptiles on short notice that we were able to have peace of mind while abroad without having to board then. We definitely would recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.”

“Joy, thank you so much! Vanilla is usually very shy of strangers, so the fact that she let you brush her says a lot about how great you are. All the best!”

“Thank you so much Mike for taking great care of our cat. It was such a relief that Anya got along with Mike so well from the first introduction.”

“April did a wonderful job checking in our two dogs for midday breaks this week! She was very communicative and made sure to address all the things we asked her to: enrichment activities for one pup and snuggles with another. I’ll definitely book her again!”

About: Hi! I recently graduated from UCSB and have a very flexible schedule this summer before starting my full-time job. I’ve dog sat for family friends, and neighbors over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for a Maltese for several weeks, looked after a German Shepherd, and watched other small and medium-sized dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I always try to provide the same level of care and attention they receive at home. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care throughout the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can easily adjust to your dog’s normal routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never left alone for long periods of time. I live in a spacious townhouse with plenty of room for dogs to relax and move around comfortably. I also have a private porch where dogs can safely spend time outside and enjoy some fresh air. There is a coach outside for them to lay on. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, so I always follow owner instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, exercise, and any special care. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away.

“So glad Jessica came to spend time with my pets while I was out for the day! My shy pup warmed up to her and had a wonderful time playing ball”

“My pup hasn’t really had an appetite but Sophia was able to get him to eat based all my detailed instructions. I really appreciate her help, she’s always ready and reliable.”

About: I’ve been walking and sitting dogs since I was 13. I’ve walked big dogs, like golden doodles and labs, so I know how to handle any leash pulling and high energy pups! I have stayed overnight with dogs before and just love all types of dogs. Depending on my job, available times will vary. However, walks in the morning, afternoon, and night are essential. Open to whatever the specific pet needs. I have a fenced yard and a very calm cat/dog friendly bichon poodle mix dog. He’s 11 and my pride and joy. The house itself is dog friendly and I know first hand how important it is to take good care of your pets!

“Very reliable and took such great care of our elderly cat. Really thankful we could rest easy while we were away. Would absolutely book again :)”

“Shelby was so great with my pup! During her drop in visit, she gave her extra water, treats, and made sure she got some exercise by playing ball. I was definitely put at ease knowing my dog was well taken care of while I was working.”

Jackie S.

“This was our second time hiring Kelly to care for our animals and yet again she was perfect! Her daily updates, competence, and responsibility made it easy to be away without worrying. Kelly is and will continue to be my first choice when trying to find someone -- I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Lijuan takes great care of our dog, Alliance. She sends lots of photos and updates, which we really appreciate. Alliance likes her very much, and we feel so comfortable leaving her in Lijuan’s care.”

“Ani was fantastic! She watched our two cats for four days and did a great job. She was communicative, professional, and kind. She must be magic with the furry friends because even our extremely shy cat came to her for pets! Most other sitters aren’t even convinced we HAVE a second cat! We’ll definitely be using her services in the future. Thank you Ani!”

Nicole O.

“It was my first time booking with Alicia and using Rover, and was a wonderful sitter! She was on time and followed instructions thoroughly! She was great with my 2 kittens and played with them lots. Alicia also asked for feedback after the visit, which I really appreciated. Looking forward to booking her again next time!”

“Namie was lovely to work with and very communicative during her check-in with my 2 big girls! They felt comfortable with Namie right away, which was a huge relief as a first-time Rover user. She left us multiple pictures, and we would definitely book with her again!”

“Anna has been reliable and trustworthy. She drops in with our 2 month old pug Luna multiple times a week. It’s been great knowing Luna is in good hands.”
