“She did a great job taking care of our four cats. She proved herself to be reliable and responsible. Will use her again in the future.”

About: I offer one-on-one attention: no rushing, no multitasking, just your pet. If your pet is a pup/kitten, senior or any age in between, your loved one will receive the utmost care, patience, gentleness and consistency. From our very first meet and greet, I focus on learning your pet's specific routine, quirks, and comfort cues, so that by the time a booking starts, they're not just "watched," they're understood. Every visit, whether it's a quick drop-in or an extended stay, your pet gets the same undivided attention. My love for animals started young, growing up in a house full of pets — dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, and fish — which taught me early on that every creature has its own personality and needs. A couple of notes: I currently care for dogs up to 40lbs, and I require a meet and greet before every booking, no exceptions — it's how I make sure your pet feels safe with me from day one. Ask for VIP services include mail and delivery package pickups, coordinating pet care directly with live in house manager, etc. Fully fluent in English and Spanish. Service areas include Greater Los Angeles, UCLA area, DTLA, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel-Air, Malibu, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, and Ventura. I’m semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. To walk, sit or take care of a pet as well as I take care of mine would be a joy. I often pet sit friends’ pets when they travel on vacation or business. I’m go-to person to take care of pets while friends and family are out of town, busy at work, or they need to take pets to vet appointments. I also walk, sit and sometimes stay overnight with them. During 25+ years of doing so no one has had a complain about my care or how I handled their pets.

About: I have owned two large dogs before a German Shepard, and a lab Shepard mix . I also understand that some dogs are energetic and need more exercise so I am patient with those doggos too! I am also attentive to their health and body language and I will communicate with you whether I notice anything concerning. I work full time from 8-5pm Mon-Friday. I am available early mornings before 7am or after 5pm on the weekdays and any time on the weekends. I cannot board dogs or cats however I am more than happy to watch them in their home! I will also be attentive to specific care instructions for your pets.

About: Hello, I'm Clara! I'm a college senior home for the summer, looking to help out fellow pet owners. I've taken care of a myriad of pets, all with different personalities and temperaments, throughout my entire life (dogs, cats, chickens, horses, etc) I love working with animals, big or small, and will ensure the safety and happiness of your pets! I have complete availability, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them my full and undivided attention! In addition to walking your dogs around the neighborhood or playing in the yard, I can drive to many nearby walking routes. I live at home where we have a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of both shade and sun. We have 2 friendly dogs and 2 rarely seen cats. The neighborhood is very walkable, and the beach is closeby!

“Courtney is the BEST! She is communicative, kind and showed so much care and love to my cat Sir T. She asked questions I hadn’t even thought of because she wanted to make sure she was providing thorough care. Thanks so much Courtney!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them is something I truly love! I especially enjoy getting dogs outside, whether it’s a relaxed walk or a fun, active adventure, I’m always happy to match their energy. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and I understand how much dogs mean to their families, so I treat every pup like my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, and plenty of tail wags! 🐾 I am currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup. I’m available throughout the week for walks and droppins and the weekends for sitting, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your dog’s needs. I’m reliable and make sure to stay consistent with routines so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I am committed to caring for your pet like my own, whether in your home or out on walks and adventures. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by following your pet’s routine, keeping a clean and secure environment, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I make sure your pet feels relaxed and happy while you’re away, and I’m always attentive to their individual needs and behavior. You can count on me to be responsible, communicative, and to provide updates so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I have 2 years of hands-on dog care, regularly watching a large Golden Retriever and a medium Chihuahua–Dachshund mix. I’m comfortable with strong pullers and high-energy pups, and I’m just as gentle with small dogs. I follow your routines for meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime, and I send clear updates with photos after each visit. Safety and calm handling are my priorities—I keep leashes secure, monitor weather and hydration, and tidy up after outdoor fun. I can help with brushing and basic cues like sit/stay/leave-it. Your dog will get patient, reliable care and lots of affection every time. I work fully remote, so I’m home and attentive most of the day. I pop out once daily for the gym (about an hour) and plan visits around it. I’m available for morning, lunchtime, and evening walks/check-ins, plus overnight house sitting when needed. Weekends are open. Your pup’s meals, potty breaks, and playtime fit naturally into my routine, and I send quick updates so you always know how they’re doing. I follow your dog’s routine exactly—feeding, meds, crate, and house rules. I double-check doors and gates, keep dogs leashed unless you’ve approved a secure fenced area, and handle both strong pullers (Golden Retriever) and small dogs (Chiweenie) with calm, confident control. I monitor heat/cold, carry water, wipe paws, clean bowls, and tidy up before I leave. Home stays locked and secure, and you’ll get clear photo updates every visit.

“Anna was wonderful with our Scout! It was her first time with our pup and she took such good care of him. He’s a reactive dog and she did a great job taking him out for his walk and then playing with him in our room. We will be scheduling with Anna again!”

“Always great when we book with Leo - very attentive and flexible. Good communication while we were away, and we came home to a very happy cat! Will book again, for sure.”

About: I am a former kitten foster and also have precious dog sitting experience. I love animals so I will definitely give them the love and attention to feel secure when you are gone. I recently moved to San Diego and am looking for animal friends! I would never treat an animal differently than a way I would treat a human. They are equals in my eyes and I really just like to love them! Your animals would not be lonely or neglected at all in my care. I do not have any animals of my own currently so they would have plenty of one-on-one time with me. I have experience with puppies and neonatal kittens, as well as older dogs and cats. I won’t let you or your pet down :) I recently quit my job as I am starting Physician Assistant school in September so I have plenty of free time these days. Trying to make some money in the interim and figured this is right up my alley. I have a fenced in yard and one fluffy male resident tuxedo cat that has been with me through most of my fosters. He was a foster fail and the sweetest! He gets along with both cats and dogs. I keep my house clean and only have pet safe plants!

About: I’ve taken care of all different types of animals, from reptiles to large mammals since my childhood. Neighbors and family friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while on trips or even just out for the day. I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have also received some formal education in veterinary care as well as worked multiple jobs as a veterinary assistant. I’m currently working a full-time job so weekends and/or when owners are on vacation are my best times, as well as after work if owners are caught up on the job and need assistance with walking or feeding. I will happily watch your pets in your own home, even overnight on weekends. I take extra care to provide the best service I possibly can, catering each visit to each owner’s preference. I have experience in medication administration as well as animal handling to create a fear free environment for your pet and keep your mind at ease.

About: I've taken care of family and friend family pets growing up. My mom set up daycare for children and families would bring their pets often. (Watching my mommies growing up was my first experience and I now enjoying caring for others on my own leisure time) On my personal time, I've taken care of colleagues and friends family pets. My chihuahua will come with me on home visits otherwise I will require 1 hour break to go home to feed/walk my furbaby. I live by Bacara, I have the backyard that leads to Ellwood preserve. I do not use dog food to feed due to the high sodium, I cook meals using protein, veggies and Japanese potato. I'm happy to walk/care for family pets starting at 6am and latest walk at 6pm unless you are requesting overnight. Bed time is by 9pm or earlier. I have trim pets hair and given baths, this is complimentary for overnight stays even for 1 day. I have the materials and only cut hair by hand. I will keep majority of the hair 🙂 so you will not return surprised, your furbaby will look rejuvenated and polished 💖 I treat all furbaby as my own and cook extra portion for yours. I will walk the dogs together, 3 max at a time including my chihuahua. My chihuahua is allowed everywhere in my home so your furbaby is allowed to go anywhere except for kitchen when I'm cooking. Walks happen every 4 hours unless we are sleeping. I do not crate any furbaby so will not take you if this is something you request, I believe family pets should be included so will be in couch or bed. If they are in the floor every room has a fluffy bed. I do not have cat climbing build, only fuzzy beds! 🐾

“Jessica was great, warm energy and my dog Mango loves her. She took to her right away. Will def book with Jessica again when I’m in a pinch.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my grandmother, a dedicated veterinarian, opened her home to cats and dogs in need—whether they required medical care, rehabilitation, or simply a safe place while waiting for a loving family. Under her guidance, I gained hands-on experience caring for animals of all breeds and ages. From feeding and nurturing kittens to training dogs, treating wounds, and providing attentive care for senior pets, I developed the skills and compassion needed to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and well-cared-for. One of the most rewarding parts of this journey was working with Petco to find homes for the cats we raised. From bottle-feeding kittens to preparing them for adoption, we partnered with Petco to match these cats with the perfect families. Seeing them leave for their forever homes was always bittersweet but incredibly fulfilling. Some of my favorite memories include off-road adventures by the river, where the dogs could run, play, and explore. Every trip began with a cheerful, "Alright, load up!"—a phrase that never failed to spark wagging tails and excited barks. With a lifetime of experience and a deep love for animals, I’m committed to giving your furry family members the same level of care and attention I’ve provided to so many others. Whether it’s playtime, training, or special care for senior pets, you can trust me to treat your pet like one of my own. Hello! Thank you for reading my page, and I am looking forward to meeting :) I am currently doing school asynchronously, so I am very open to walking, house sitting, or drop in visits. `` In My Home: I create a warm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and exploration. Dogs enjoy regular walks, interactive playtime, and cozy rest areas, while cats have access to scratchers, toys, and quiet spots to relax. Meals are prepared according to the pet's specific diet, and any special needs—like medications or routines—are carefully followed. In the Client’s Home: I aim to make pets feel secure and maintain their normal routines. I provide feeding, walking, and playtime based on the owner’s instructions and keep the home clean and tidy during my stay. If overnight care is required, I ensure the pet is never left alone for long periods and receives plenty of attention and affection. For all pets, I focus on their individual needs, from high-energy play for active dogs to gentle care for senior or special-needs animals. I provide regular updates with pictures and messages so owners can rest assured their pet is happy and well-cared-for.

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.

About: I am a complete dog lover and have taken care of dogs for family and friends ever since I was a kid. A few years ago when I began working remotely and had more time to dedicate, I got a dog of my own. Sawyer is a 45lb Portuguese Pointer. He is 6 years old but still a puppy at heart. Sawyer loves to play with other dogs, cuddle and go to the beach. I work from home and have lots of time in between meetings where I can be available to play with the pups and/or take them on walks! I can be flexible based on each dogs needs but it is standard that I walk Sawyer in the morning when we wake up, around lunch time, at the end of the work day, and before bed. I have a camera roll filled with doggy photos so you can be sure to expect daily updates and pictures while your pup is in my care 😊 Sawyer loves other dogs and would be thrilled to have a friend to play with or cuddle. I have a fenced in courtyard where I can work and let the dogs lay outside. For walks we usually go around town on the sidewalks or down to the park/beach that is nearby our home. Please reach out if you have any questions!

“Presly did a great job watching my cat. Much appreciated.”

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.
