“Steph is so great with my dog! Firm but kind which my doodle needs and happy to keep up with training. She is responsible, communicative, friendly, easy to work with. My pup gets plenty of fun exercise and TLC while with Steph. Highest recommendation.”

“Cheryl stayed in our home with our active dog Kona while my husband and I were on vacation. We loved receiving pictures and updates of Kona while we were away. We returned home to a happy dog and beautifully well kept house. We are thrilled to have found Cheryl and would recommend her highly!”

“We were in Santa Barbara for a dinner party and needed a sitter for Jerry. The request was last minute but Chase made it so easy and effortless Jerry loves Chase immediately and was totally comfortable staying at the hotel room with Chase. We could not be happier with Chase and we’ll certainly rebook Chase next time we’re in Santa Barbara!”

“Ayden was lovely! Great communication, sent photos of our cats & provided updates throughout the stay. Will book again!”

“I am giving Rover.Com & Lisa 10+ STARS. Lisa loves animals. Our dog, Winston, had a good time with Scout (Lisa's puppy). They had a blast together. Winston is a Portuguese Water Dog (55 lbs) and loves people & other dogs. Winston stayed at Lisa's place, not at our home, because we were having our daughter's wedding in a destination place. Our home was far away, and we wanted Winston to go on the 5 hour drive with us and stay near by the wedding site. So, I went on Rover and asked to locate someone in Carpinteria. I found Lisa from Rover.Com living just up the road from the wedding site. Lisa took Winston and Scout to the beach, the park, everywhere and I do not think they were ever bored. Winston had a great time. Lisa always sent photos, and she always responded immediately if you text her. Our beach house rental did not allow pets, so Lisa was my rescue. Winston was just 8 minutes away from where we were staying. It was perfect. Breathtaking surroundings where Winston stayed. Winston and I thank you so very much. You made myself and my family feel comfortable leaving Winston with you while we were busy planning the wedding. You are the BEST. - nancy-”

About: I’ve taken care of not just my own Animlas but others, for a couple years! Animals are genuine sweet creatures and I love to meet new animals! I currently work part time, so i have a good amount of time to take care of animals. I work early mornings but have breaks. I can have extended love and protection for your babies. Honestly whatever is needed I can most likely do! I hope to meet your sweet babies.

About: My lifelong journey with pets began in childhood, where I was surrounded by a diverse menagerie that taught me the unique needs and personalities of different animals. Growing up with golden retrievers provided my foundation in canine care - from daily walks and training to understanding their gentle, family-oriented nature. Our household also included two cats that introduced me to feline independence and the subtle art of earning a cat’s trust and affection. Beyond mammals, I gained hands-on experience maintaining birds and multiple aquarium systems, learning the delicate balance required for aquatic ecosystems and the daily attention that avian companions need. The most profound chapter of my pet care experience came through my 15-year relationship with two purebred teacup Yorkshire terriers. These tiny companions required specialized care due to their delicate size and breed-specific needs, from careful monitoring of their fragile bone structure to understanding their bold personalities that far exceeded their diminutive stature. Through a decade and a half of dedicated care, I learned the deep responsibility that comes with pet ownership - the daily routines, veterinary care, dietary management, and most importantly, the unconditional love and patience required to provide these cherished family members with the quality of life they deserved. This experience taught me that pet care extends far beyond basic feeding and shelter; it’s about understanding each animal’s individual needs and building lasting bonds built on trust and compassion. I am a Digital Nomad and Artist, so I have a very flexible schedule. I practice yoga, do my work, make ceramics and paint at my art studio space in Ojai. I don’t currently have any pets after my 4lbs “prince of darkness” and the sweetest honeybear passed. In the meantime, pet sitting is a lovely way to connect with animals while working toward my long-term goals — and eventually having a pet of my own again. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—talking to them, hanging out, going on long walks at the beach or on nearby trails. It might sound quirky, but I think most pet lovers talk to their animals. My schedule is flexible; I’ll need to step out occasionally for yoga, lunch, or to visit my studio, but I’m able to come and go freely. I’m financially independent—a yogi, entrepreneur, and avid reader. I don’t drink, I’m committed to getting eight hours of sleep each night, and I care deeply about living a healthy, balanced life. I try to keep things relaxed and intentional. For me, a meaningful life is one lived with integrity, self-expression, and love—for both people and animals. That is how I live my life and how I will care for your pets and home.

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.

“Lisa did a great job with our dog Baldwin again. He even wasn’t feeling well for the first couple days and she gave him medication and lots of snuggles. The house was left in great condition. We will never hesitate to have Lisa watch our dog in the future. We have already booked her again.”

About: I've always had at least one dog in my house growing up and this is how my love for dogs began. We have owned all sorts of different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs over the years and I cherished them all. Most of our dogs were adopted from shelters and they were often very timid when we welcomed them to our home. Eventually they warmed up and became as happy as ever! I currently have a 72 lb chocolate lab from a local shelter. Our favorite activity is hiking. He is very friendly and loves playing with other dogs. It is up to the owner if they want me to bring him to bookings. I have a full-time job with standard working hours from 9 to 5, Monday through Friday. I can work from home or the office as I desire. We have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play. We separated one area of the yard for potty breaks and the other area for play.

“Monica was great with our pups! She was a great communicator and stayed with them as long as we were gone to make sure they had good company! Highly recommend her :)”

“My husband and I recently took a 4 day Vegas trip and we were very happy and pleased to have Katherine stay with our baby. Although this was my first time having Katherine watch our babies she made us feel at ease. She communicated with us about our babies and sent pictures. We will definitely be calling Katherine for all of our dog sitting needs. If your looking for someone to watch your babies look no further! Thanks again Katherine for staying with our babies!!”
