Cat Sitting Summerland

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was born. I’ve had bunnies and cats and fish and dogs and birds. I’ve learned great ways to meet each of these animals with gentle and respectful care. I primarily work Monday-Wednesday 11am-8pm. I’m much more available in the evenings and weekends to take care of beloved pets. Pet walks would be most accessible on Thursdays-Sundays. I do not offer pet care in my home, I don’t have pets because I live in a very tiny apartment and know that’s not conducive for their wellbeing. In my client’s home, I show the utmost respect and care for their items, animal care needs and I triple check that I leave everything clean and locked.

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

About: As a sitter/walker I combine reliability and a genuine commitment to each dog’s/cat’s individual needs. I have experience training puppies, including reinforcing basic commands, leash manners, crate training. I have also worked with senior dogs and understand the additional patience, attentiveness, and comfort focused care they require. I am comfortable administering medication and following detailed care instructions to ensure pets stay healthy and safe. As a college student working part-time, I bring strong time management skills, responsibility, and dedication to every booking, treating each pet with the same level of care and consistency I would expect for my own. I am a student at Westmont College located in Montecito, CA . I have a very flexible schedule and would love to fill that time enjoying time and taking care of your animals! My pets are very cared for, they are treated like family because they are. You can trust that I will give every and any animal on my care the utmost respect and love, and I will always let owners know if I notice anything out of the ordinary.

“Katherine is fantastic! Very communicative and I can tell she cares a lot about all of the animals she watches. My cat was upset that I was out of town but she did everything she could to help him be more comfortable. Thank you, Katherine, for taking such great care of my boy!”

About: I was a nanny over the last several years and always easily got acquainted with whichever household pets came with my jobs. I am confident with animals and easily make a connection. I am gentle and kind and I’ve never had had a problem with any animals, I have run into or cared for. I currently just moved back to Santa Barbara and do a little pet sitting already. But I’m looking to expand my platform. I have an open schedule and want to have a Part-time job that I enjoy doing. I am happy to provide, whichever services are needed per sitting. If that means, it’s a walk, feeding, overnight, just some friendly attention or etc, I am more than happy to provide anything.

About: I have always pet and house sat for neighbors, family friends, my 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.

“Excellent care! Would highly recommend Damian. We have a boxer with degenerative myopathy who struggles with her back end. He did drop in visits helping her with potty breaks and keeping her company. She got comfortable with him pretty quick and he did a wonderful job. He even helped out when our stay at home person had a medical emergency. I felt like I had someone I could trust while we were away.”

“My cat looks great and was calm when I arrived at my house. She was obviously well cared for. Also Alyssa was invaluable in solving a water problem at the house.”

“Suzanne took care of our two kitties for two weeks, one of which was very shy. She did an excellent job and even our shy boy was comfortable with her. Suzanne is responsible and caring. She made it easy for me to enjoy vacation and not worry too much about leaving them. I highly recommend her.”

“Jasmine was great! If and when I ever need another sitter I will reach out to Jasmine.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes every dog deserves daily exercise, fresh air, and plenty of attention. As a remote worker who enjoys daily walks, I have a flexible schedule and would love to help keep your pup happy, active, and cared for. I had a German Shepherd–Husky mix who lived a healthy, happy 14 years, and I was hands-on with his meals, medications, and daily care. I’m also a proud cat mom to three rescues—two Siamese and a Ragdoll—who have made my home their own. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority! I work from home as a technical marketing writer for a hardware company, and my schedule is fairly flexible, with most of my meetings in the mornings EST. I’d love to make the most of my daily walks by spending that time with fur babies. Although I cannot care for other's pets in my own home as I have 3 cats (one of which is perpetually spicy) I am happy to travel to the owner's home to do check ins, play fetch, walks, etc. as needed.

“Mike was kind, communicative, and enthusiastic about taking care of our cat. He went above and beyond watching him during the Christmas holiday! Would hire again and highly recommend.”

“Cheryl is a terrific cat sitter. My cats warmed up to her immediately and she spent time playing with them and my finicky male even let her brush him and he loved it. She also left calming music in for them and it was so good to come home to relaxed kitties.”

About: I grew up taking care of animals since the age of 12. Whenever family, friends, or neighbors needed someone to take care of their furry bestie; I gave them the a blast! I enjoy taking them on long walks/hikes, teach them tricks or polite manners, play with their favorite toy, and last but not least putting them to sleep by singing to them if they need snuggle time. Back to the present, I just graduated UCSC with a bachelor’s in Economics and I have a lot of availability. Taking care of someone's loving best friend would be an honored to spend my time for. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Love, Natalie N💜 I am very flexible since I just graduated UCSC and have a lot of time on my hands to use. And I would love to spend more time with animals.❤️ I am able to go to anyones home to take care of their dog if their owner is working or out of town. I am unable to bring them to my home that I share with others, due to no cats or dogs allowed. However, I don’t want that limitation to keep me away from my furry friends☺️ Im available every day of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I really want to make time for our furry friends☺️ I play with them and get them tired enough for them go feel relaxed and safe. I also take them on long walks and feed them:)

“Marolyn was fantastic! She was on time for every appointment, sent me a photo at each drop in and took my last minute request and adjusted for my needs. I would recommend her 100%!”
