“We are extremely pleased with care Lynn and Marty provided to our dog. Diego was very sad when he got home after one week staying with them. He refused his food and looked like he was missing them! The environment is safe, huge backyard, constant supervision. They are my first choice for next booking”

“Tracy and Drew were wonderful hosts to Sarah on her first stay in their home and the experience far exceeded my expectations. Tracy sent me pictures of Sarah during the stay and I could tell from her smile that she was having a great time filled with walks, treats, attention and lots of love. When I picked her up after her stay, Sarah was relaxed and happy to see me but was in no rush to leave the home of her new found friends. I will most definitively use Tracy and Drew in the future and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe place and responsible people to watch your woof while your away. Thank you for your spectacular care of my most important buddy!!!!”

“Damian was a wonderful friend to George ! I would definitely recommend him if you need someone to take care of your pet. We haven’t left George with many new people and our dog seemed very happy and relaxed in Damian’s care. George had a few special needs and Damian had no problem making sure they were met. He also made it a point to take him out everyday to one of his favorite nature walks (the Douglas Preserve) where he could interact with other dogs, which George loves. Damian has a dog of his own so you can tell he has a love and intuitive understanding for our furry friends. He went above and beyond in care for our dog George! Thanks Damian.”

“10/10 Leaving our dog Barry with Hilary felt like leaving him with a close friend or family member! From the start, she was responsive, sweet, and welcoming. Throughout Barry’s stay, she sent photos and kept in contact to put us at ease and share how much fun Barry was having. She has a yard, a lovely home, and a delightful personality. I felt great leaving Barry with Hilary and will definitely book again the next time I need it. Thanks again!”

“They were incredibly hospitable and accommodating. I’m so grateful to have them right here in my neighborhood! I’m very particular about my dog’s care—especially coming from a country with advanced dog care standards. This was my second booking, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for in a clean home with a fenced yard, playing with their sweet puppy, Daisy. The photos Vivian sent meant so much to me—it was comforting to see my dog not only safe but also happy and social. What reassures me even more is that they previously owned a small dog before Daisy and truly understand the needs of small breeds at every life stage. I’m grateful to have found such thoughtful, trustworthy people. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again—and I look forward to seeing Daisy next time too!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved taking care of them. I have a dog of my own and have helped care for pets of all kinds, from neighborhood pups to family cats. I’ve participated in dog training classes, I’m certified in animal CPR, and I’m currently a pre-veterinarian major studying biology. So this isn’t just something I enjoy, I’m truly passionate about it. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, a check-in, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! As a college student, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have lots of time during the week and weekends to hang out with your pets. Walks, check-ins, playtime, I’d be so excited to do any of these with your furry friends. I love being outside and active, so spending time with animals is honestly the best part of my routine. I’m super mindful about keeping pets safe and comfortable, whether I’m in your home or out on a walk. I always follow care instructions closely, and I’m trained in animal CPR, so I’m prepared for emergencies (just in case!). I’ve also taken pet training classes, so I know how to read behavior and respond calmly if a pup gets nervous or overly excited. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure and happy, and to leave you feeling totally at ease, too.

“Leeanna and her entire family welcomed Frances with pets and hugs, and Frances settled in quickly. Frances always had friends nearby with Leeanna's three girls, who were so loving and gentle. There was even a slumber party in the living room with Frances, complete with piles of pillows Frances could burrow into. Leeanna sent pictures throughout the evening so I knew my baby girl was in good hands. I highly recommend Leanna, especially if you have a small, delicate dog.”

About: Hi, I’m Jules (26 y/o), a current graduate student at UCSB. I am taking classes online right now so I can spend my full day with your pets. I have 12 years of experience as a dog owner, cat foster, and dog sitter. I genuinely love caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, breeds, and sizes, and I’ve had a wide range of experience as a sitter and walker. I’m happy to tailor my care to your pet’s routine and needs. Whether that means going for a run, going to the park, preparing their dinner, or simply relaxing and cuddling at home, I’m happy to make it work! I’m naturally outgoing and high energy, so I’m comfortable keeping up with active, energetic dogs. I’m also always happy to just chill. Please reach out with any questions. (Your dog DOES NOT need to be in a crate, I don’t know how to change that) I am currently a graduate student at UCSB, but outside of a few hours of class Monday-Thursday, I can spend the full rest of the day with your pet and give him/her my undivided attention. I can take your dog to the park or on many walks, long or short, whatever you dog needs! I am accommodating to whatever routines works best for you and your dog(s).

Sandra was wonderful to work with and she took great care of our dog Darby! From the start when she offered to do a meet and greet and through his 5 day stay while we went back east for a funeral, she followed instructions, met his needs and was always sweet to him. We appreciated how communicative she was during the whole process and Darby came home energized and obedient because she walked him regularly. We will use Sandra again...and again!

Kylie was so sweet with my golden retriever Otis. She was a clear communicator and kept me updated throughout. It was particularly hot while Otis was with her, so she was sure to take him out for exercise during the cool hours. I felt very confident with Kylie and would be happy to have her watch Otis again.
