Doggy Day Care In Upper State

About: I’m a mom of two and an experienced dog owner of over 20 years. Dogs have been part of my life for my entire adult life, and I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. In the past, I’ve owned multiple dogs at a time and was comfortable caring for them all together. I have a gentle, friendly Labrador Retriever who enjoys having canine company, and my two kids are kind, respectful, and love animals. I will be the primary caretaker for your pet, and I focus on making each dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away. I’m mostly a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide lots of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I do leave the house for a few hours on three mornings each week, but otherwise I’m home and available to care for your dog’s needs, including playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and cuddles. I will only take one dog (or if you have multiple dogs, I can take all of them), however I think it’s best to limit care to one “dog family” at a time! Your dog won’t be here with a bunch of other dogs being cared for! It will just be my own Labrador! I live in a single-family home with a large, fully fenced grassy backyard that’s perfect for safe play and exercise. Dogs are treated like part of the family and are always supervised. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s part of their routine, or they’re welcome to sleep on a dog bed in the living room—whatever helps them feel most comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, loving, and secure environment for every dog in my care.

About: I grew up with the responsibility of taking care of my family dogs growing up, so they have always been a big, loving part of my life. As an adult, I have lived with 3 different dogs and have helped raised two from pups. I am always the go-to dog sitter for all my friends when they are out of town since I live a very active lifestyle. I’m always out for walks on the town (or runs) if that is your dogs cup of tea. I absolutely adore doggos and would treat yours as if they are my own! I am a musician in town and work sporadically playing shows on the weekends. My schedule during the week is super flexible as I am home writing/working on music. I run/walk daily and can accommodate these to your pets schedule with ease. I live with my boyfriend in 3 bedroom apartment with a small yard out back. He is also a dog-lover and was as excited as me for signing up for this app! My landlords do not have an issue with there being dogs on property. We are a short walk to the Mission Park in Downtown Santa Barbara.

“I'm so happy that I found Honey! She and her pup Rosie were a great match for Bucky. Honey sent photos and updates often, and was very quick to respond. She was intuative with Bucky's needs and I knew he was in great hands. She has a comfortable home and bed that Bucky didn't want to get out of. This is my first experience on this app and I have no hesitation leaving Bucky with her in the future. Thanks again honey! A++”

“Rebecca is a terrific sitter! Charlie had a great stay and was very comfortable right away. Rebecca is great with communication and sending loads of photos.”

“Bradley and Carolyn were fantastic sitters for Rocky. They kept him super active and entertained all three days of daycare, and Rocky came home very happy and tired each evening. Their location was super convenient for travelers staying or visiting in downtown Santa Barbara. Will definitely use again!”

“Damian did a great job watching over our two little ones! He provided plenty of updates during their stay and we felt like we could relax while they were in his care. Bella and Duncan came back tired out which is exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend Damian if you are looking for a playdate for your pup! Looking forward to using him again 🙂”

“Stacey was super nice, communicative, and even sent me multiple pics of my doggos while they were with her! They had a great time and played a bunch because once they got home they were all tired out. Thanks so much!”

“Stephanie did a great job with my Moms puppy. It was his first time being away from home, we were nervous as he needs so much attention and is very energetic. Stephanie was fantastic and kept us updated with photos and took him on walks. He looked like he was having so much fun, it really put our mind at ease. Thank you Stephanie!”

“Ema is an understanding and responsible sitter who helped take care of my dog who currently suffers from separation anxiety and can't be left alone. She was communicative and I'm sure my dog had a great time cuddling while in doggy care. Thanks Ema!”

“Gio, our 4 month old puppy, had a great day with Ryan! Such a wonderful 1st experience being in this environment away from home. We will be back! Thank you Ryan! We appreciated you caring for Gio so well today.”

“Nicole and Ethan were great communicators throughout our stay and so very caring! Our pup had a great time with them and their dog, and we enjoyed our vacation knowing she was in good hands.”

“I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am to have met Marty and Lynn. They were so accommodating and even flexible with some last-minute changes. My boy, Todd, was in absolute paradise in their lush backyard. They are so generous to open it up for daycare. I love seeing photos throughout the day of Todd’s relaxing day in their special care. We booked 2 dog sitting days, back to back and the second day when I dropped Todd off he was PULLING so excited to be back! I wish I lived closer and could have Todd see them all the time! They are fabulous dog people and I can’t wait for the next time we are in Santa Barbara.”

“Monica was great! She was available and responsive on super short notice and was very flexible when we needed to push our drop off time back. And most importantly of all, she took great care of our pups and made sure to send us several photo-filled updates over the course of the afternoon. Definitely would book with Monica again!”

Warren C.

“Another Great experience with Haven. Easy pick up and drop off, she updated me throughout the day and sent photos from their adventures! My pup was exhausted which only makes the Rest of my day easier as well. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a caretaker for your doggo and loom forward to scheduling again!”

Casey M.

“Lauren was so great to work with...she responded to the daycare request promptly and immediately jumped into asking lots of questions around Remys care. I knew he'd be in good hands. Thank you for the care Lauren...”

“Wendy is so kind and my puppy Bear seemed to have an amazing day at her house during doggy day care. I felt like he was in safe hands from the first moment I met her and he was so content when I picked him up!”
