“Neyda was wonderful with my dog Oreo. He took to her right away, and I will continue to use her for walks and to take care of him. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“I couldn’t be happier with Katherine’s service! I highly recommend her to other dog owners. I have a newly adopted dog who is a rescue and he is very nervous in new surroundings. Katherine came to our house for a meet and greet before hand which allowed my dog to get to know her. Katherine was patient, accommodating, and very knowledgeable of animal behavior and training techniques. She sent me pictures throughout the day so that I had peace of mind that my dog was being well taken care of while I had to work. Thank you Katherine!”

“Cheryl did a great job of caring for and exercising our 4 year old lab from our Montecito Airbnb. Carley instantly liked her and was nice and tired when we returned. Cheryl was an excellent communicator and working with her was a breeze. Carley seemed quite pleased as well. I highly recommend her.”

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: I've had dogs and many other pets my entire life- a boxer, pugs, Akita, Cairn, and a terrier mix with health issues, requiring extra care. I'm recently retired, so pet sitting will be my full time priority. I will devote all my care and attention to your pets, plants and garden. As an avid walker and hiker, I especially enjoy caring for dogs who love outdoor time and exercise. I also love exploring new communities and being in nature, so pet sitting is a great fit-it allows me to care for animals while experiencing new places in a meaningful way. I no longer have pets of my own and truly miss the companionship they bring, which makes caring for animals especially rewarding to me. Spending time with pets feels grounding and joyful, and I genuinely value creating a calm, reassuring presence for them while their people are away

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: 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!

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog walker based in Santa Barbara and Montecito. I truly enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, especially small and medium-sized pups. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. I always make sure walks are calm, safe, and enjoyable, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel at ease. I’m responsible, punctual, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and can fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available mornings and afternoons most days, and I enjoy staying active, so dog walking fits naturally into my day. I always make sure pets get safe, focused, and caring attention. I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. During walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times and stay in safe, pet-friendly areas. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I avoid any unsafe situations or distractions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care directions. I make sure pets feel calm, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured.

“Ryan is a great dog walker for all sizes, personalities and ages. Our young puppy adores him! Ryan tires him out and reinforces our training.”

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! 🐾

About: My motto is that it’s my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I’m with your pup , I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it’s my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they’re used to at home . I’m a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as can just come second nature for me ! Although I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, my experience with pups is much more far reaching than that. I’ve worked with dogs big and small and loved taken care of all of them equally It’s always great to chat with owners about what makes their pup tick ! Finally , I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all

About: Hi, my name is Basilia, I also go by Juno. I have grown up around dogs all my life. I have experience house/dog sitting for my friends and neighbors in high-school, and even more experience taking care of my families big dogs. Further, I have some experience taking care of senior dogs, as my late Akita spent nearly 5 years on intensive medication. I love playing with dogs, taking them on walks, going to the dog park, and making life good in the safety of their own homes. I’m a student at Santa Barbara City College, but my flexible schedule allows me to spend plenty of time with your animals! I have at least 2-4 hours a day available to spend playing with, walking, or otherwise taking care of your babies. I prioritize pet safety in my care. I listen carefully to your rules about where the animal is/isn’t allowed to go, and can provide intensive support for your animals. I make sure to spend time building trust with the animal using treats or soothing methods upon meeting them, so that they feel safe and comfortable around me.

About: Hello There! My little family and myself are pet lovers! 🥰 We have two dogs, two cats and a bearded dragon. Our home has always been a bit of a revolving door for furry friends. I have been dog walking and pet sitting locally for the past 17yrs and have plenty of references. I am out and about most mornings doing dog walks, typically 9/930-12ish and available again most afternoon or evenings depending on what you need. I work for an afterschool program during the school year so my schedule tends to open up a bit more during the summer. We have a high, fully fenced in back yard w plenty of shade. I tend to take boarded pups w me on my walks if the temperament works. We live in a very quiet little corner in Carpinteria surrounded by parks and bike trails.

“Bekah has been so great for our family! Raven, our very energetic lab puppy needs lots of attention and exercise. Bekah comes super prepared for each walk and even cleans her off before bringing her back home, if Raven gets into a mud puddle ect. She is very loving to Raven and does a great job with her. I would highly recommend Bekah for any pet sitting or walking needs.”

“Monika was absolutely fabulous. She was loving with my dog and took great care of her. She was a terrific communicator as well. Would definitely have her take care of my dog again.”

About: Since my early childhood, I've nurtured a profound fascination with animals, which began when I used to visit my papa's ranch and assist him in caring for dogs, horses, lambs, and various other animals. This passion persisted as I ventured into horseback riding and my family welcomed our first golden retriever. Presently, my devotion to dogs has reached new heights as I have a Golden Retriever of my own, not just a family pet. She has become my dearest companion, best friend, and daughter. I first met her as a puppy and after a few times playing with her, knew she was mine. Along the way, I've happily taken on the role of pet-sitter for numerous friends' dogs and cats. I firmly believe that pets deserve nothing but the utmost care and affection, and I can see how the love they receive is beautifully reflected in their demeanor. Thanks to my keen intuition and ability to connect rapidly with dogs, some of my friends even refer to me as the "dog whisperer." I am currently in between jobs and have a pretty open schedule. I start my job mid July and will be available weekends and occasional nights then. As a dedicated dog babysitter, I want to assure you that your beloved furry friend's safety is my utmost priority. I am a responsible and reliable caregiver who takes the time to understand each dog's unique needs and preferences. My commitment to your pet's well-being means they will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you are away. I will strive to create a nurturing and stress-free environment for your dog, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy during our time together.

About: I’m a caring and dedicated pet sitter who understands how much your pets mean to you.

Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication, I provide thoughtful and attentive care to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are being cared for with kindness and compassion. I work Wednesday through Saturday from 10-6pm which leaves me available all day Sunday through Tuesday, as well as early mornings, and late evenings, and overnight care the rest of the week. I’m happy to accommodate pet sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays whenever my schedule allows. I strive to be flexible and reliable so your pets receive the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I take the time to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also help keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet, refreshing water bowls, and respecting your space as if it were my own. Throughout my visits or stay, I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Like many people, I grew up with dogs my entire childhood and have continued to take care of other people's until I was finally able to have one of my own! He’s a sweet, fun-loving Golden who loves other dogs and people. I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs, big and small. I welcome all breeds and creeds, I don't discriminate! I guess you could say I'm an expert doggie snuggler and pro pooper scooper. I’d be happy to walk, feed, play and stay with your dog at your home while you’re away. I can also welcome one well behaved dog for short stints in our own home. I’m available most days and have a very flexible schedule. Let's chat and see if I'm the right fit for your pooch! I’m currently working part time remotely so my schedule is extremely open and flexible. There are no time restrictions and I can be home with your dog the majority of the time. My husband and I have a fenced yard, and we never let the dogs roam free without being outside with them. I treat every dog like they’re my own.

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.
