“Neyda was a delight to meet and a fast friend to our Frenchie Lucy. The meet and greet with my wife included taking Lucy for a walk that started a bond. Neyda took good care of our home and our sweet dog. Already planning our next get away with Neyda to help take care of Lucy. A great find!”

“Chase was amazing! You can tell right away that he has a way with animals and puts a lot of care into making sure that you and they are comfortable. He sent regular updates with cute videos and pictures so that we could see what everyone was up to. I could tell that Benny had such a great time with him. I can’t recommend Chase enough!”

“Lisa’s care of our three dogs was wonderful. She went above and beyond for them and took great care of our property as well. She even has a green thumb!”

“There’s nothing like knowing your beloved Pet is being well cared for in your absence. This is absolutely imperative that I not worry about my dog while I’m out there trying to have fun! Jessa and Justin did exactly that: freed my mind up so I could enjoy my time away. They are kind and loving towards animals and sent me update pictures while I was away. They are a blessing.”

About: I have experience working with cats, dogs, birds, horses, hamsters, etc. I have lived with 4+ pets my entire life & have had a few long-term house sitting gigs (5+ years). I feed, play, & walk all animals. I tidy up the house, bring in mail, water plants, and bring down trash cans. I am skilled at dealing with unruly animals, training young pets, dealing with pets off-leash at parks, beaches, and hikes. I have reliable transportation, and am able to take animals to local vets if needed. I am currently a part-time student & am searching for a part-time job. I have a very open schedule at the moment, and I am in SB almost everyday. I have 6 pets of my own that I will need to check in on once or twice a day, but I am able to be very dedicated to your pets and their needs. My home has two fenced in yards, I also live next to a park that is not super busy. I am able to let my own dogs off leash at said park! I live in a quiet neighborhood, on a cul-de-sac. There are a lot of neighborhood cats, and a few dogs. We do not get coyotes, or mountain lions, we do spot the occasional raccoon and opossum though!

“Patrick was a great sitter! Very flexible for our situation and our dog's needs. Great communication all around. Our dog can be stubborn, but Patrick was very accommodating to this and made sure our dog's needs were met. I highly recommend Patrick and will be requesting future bookings!”

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.

“Lily did a great job watching our little lady. She is extremely conscientious, kind and considerate. We were very please with her questions and the level of care she provided. Would recommend her and use her again.”

About: Hi my name is Melissa! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a 7-year-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. Raising and caring for my own dog has taught me so much about patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I’ve also worked with him through dog training, so I’m familiar with positive reinforcement techniques and basic training tools that help keep dogs happy, engaged, and well-behaved. In addition to caring for my own pup, I’m the go-to dog sitter for my cousins, family, and friends whenever they’re out of town. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, sticking to routines, or simply providing companionship, I genuinely enjoy making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the level of care I give every dog. I don’t see pet sitting as just a job I treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I make it my priority to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, follow your dog’s routine closely, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and one-on-one attention. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! Services: Boarding, House Sitting, Drop-in visits, Doggy day care. I am available in the mornings or afternoons! Available for holidays and weekends Comfortable with puppies, seniors, medication Meet and greets before the first booking please! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already care for my own 7-year-old dog every day, so adding walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention for other pets is something I truly enjoy. I have a flexible schedule outside of work and make it a priority to give every pet the time, care, and attention they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own. As a dog owner of 7 years, I understand how important routine, patience, and safety are. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions while making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, and have professional experience working with dogs. I take a patient, educational approach to animal care and training, and believe building trust is an important first step. I'm happy to work with you to ensure I'm meeting the needs of your pet. Please let me know what your expectations are concerning frequency of walks, play time, or other enrichment activities. I do work a part time job Wed-Sun from 9-2. I have taken care of both cats and dogs in clients' homes, and am flexible when it comes to a pet's needs. Whether your young pup needs some play time, or your older dog needs meds and a slow wander through the neighborhood, I'm happy to join them on their adventures.

“Debra did another great job watching our dog at our home. She left things clean and was quick to respond. Our dog seemed to be well taken care of. Thank you!”

“Grace is absolutely amazing! She takes care of your pets like her own and we couldn’t recommend her enough. Truly a first class sitter who is so attentive and communicative while giving your pet the best possible service while you’re away. Grace will always be our top choice!”

About: General Experience I’ve been around dogs, cats, and horses my whole life and I am competent with all general aspects of their care and willing to learn more. I love getting outside with dogs, whether that’s a beach day, a mountain hike, or a walk around the neighborhood. I’m also happy to help with baths and cleanup after our adventures! Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. For the Cat owners: Happy to hang out with your cat and make sure they have a companion. Or if you’re someone with one of those cats that act more like a dog, we can go for a walk too! Training I’ve trained my own dog from puppyhood and helped friends with theirs. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m happy to reinforce the routines and training you’re already working on. I’m newly active on Rover again and excited to meet new clients! I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand. I am currently in between jobs and plan to take on a full or part time job in the new year. At this time I am incredibly flexible on scheduling. My apartment unfortunately does not allow for dogs but I would be able to come to you! I am extremely trustworthy and will respect your sacred space and privacy to the fullest. I will meet your pet where they are at and make sure they are comfortable. I am happy to clean up messes, and pretty much game for anything! I believe good communication leads to met expectations and I’m happy to work with you and your furry friend to find a good fit.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have a natural knack for connecting with them. I grew up with dogs, cats, the occasional rodent and I have previously pet-sit and dog walked for friends. I have had pets of all ages and am comfortable administering meds if needed. I have a very open and flexible schedule, though I occasionally teach scuba diving on the weekends. Because my hours vary, please check my Rover calendar to confirm availability. Because I provide care directly in your home and neighborhood, your pet's safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. • Home & Leash Safety: I always double-check that doors, windows, and gates are securely locked when entering or leaving your home. When we are out on a walk, your dog will remain securely leashed at all times, and I maintain a high awareness of our surroundings to avoid any stressful interactions with other animals or traffic. • Constant Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos from our walks or drop-in visits so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. • Emergency Preparedness: Before our first booking, we will complete a Meet & Greet to review your pet’s exact routine. I will ask for your primary vet's details, emergency contacts, and clear instructions for your pet’s specific medication schedules if required.

“Rebecca was terrific with my pups for an overnight! Very communicative and she took great care of my senior pup that needs a little extra care. Thank you so much Rebecca!”

About: Hi there!! With over 10 years of experience in house sitting and pet care, I take pride in providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care for both pets and homes. I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. From daily walks and playtime to maintaining a clean, secure home, I’m committed to providing personalized care and peace of mind for every client. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet and home with the same respect and attention I would give my own. Can’t wait to connect! I work full time as a registered nurse M-F, willing to walk dogs before work or after work. Free on most weekends for longer days. I have housesat for families when they are out of town and feel comfortable with that as well. Willing to discuss what you need! I am unable to board pets at my home per my landlord requiring a strict no pet policy. I am very comfortable housesitting/pet sitting or coming by to homes to check in on pets.

About: My wife and I are lifelong animal owners and lovers - large breeds and small or with fur, scales, hooves, or feathers. She works from home and is a certified dog trainer and I'm the manager of a local veterinary hospital. Together, we offer a uniquely loving, experienced, and structured environment for pets of any size or special needs. Pets in our care are spoiled with snuggles and lots of love, treats (when permitted by their owners) and rarely spend time out of our sight. Long walks and playtime with our cattle dog and chihuahua wear out most dogs in no time. Unless specifically requested by their owners, dogs in our care are never crated for extended periods or locked inside without access to a fenced patio. Schedule: We offer an open, flexible schedule for clients with pets of all kinds, including continuous care for pets with separation anxiety or complex health needs. Having someone that works from home allows all the time in the world for our pups and our visiting guests to be pampered, offering customized care for their unique needs. We treat drop-in visits like we would our own home, bringing in packages and ensuring everyone is happy and healthy before departing. Pets in our care are given extensive mental enrichment and physical exercise, with photos sent each visit to pet parents to ease any concerns and keep you informed about what your beloved furry family member is up to each day.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals. My childhood dog was truly my best friend, and animals have always been an important part of my life. When I had my own family, my first dog was a Bull Terrier. Because he was such a strong and heavy dog, I worked privately with a dog psychologist and regularly attended dog school. Sadly, he passed away from a tumor at only five years old. My second dog was an Australian Shepherd who eventually became a wonderful companion dog for elderly residents in retirement homes. He passed away at age ten following complications from surgery. My last dog, Scruffy, was a rescue from Romania and probably taught me the most. She had experienced trauma and struggled with fear and anxiety, which made her a real challenge at first. Through training, patience, consistency, safety, and above all, love, she gradually learned to trust again. These experiences have given me a great deal of understanding and practical skill when it comes to reading dogs, handling challenging situations, and keeping both dogs and myself safe. I understand that every dog has a different personality, history, and needs. When a dog is in my care, my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, cared for, understood, and happy while their family is away. ❤️🐾 I'm currently between jobs and looking for tithe right party-time opportunity, which gives me the wonderful opportunity to spend some of my free time doing something I genuinely love-being around dogs. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time, and I'm happy to crate a dog if tithes is part of their normal routine or what makes them more comfortable.
