“We are from out of the area but going to a concert a The Bowl. Last minute, we decided to find a babysitter for our very busy Portuguese Water Dog. Ryan accommodated both us and our dog in every way possible. His communication was outstanding and his love for dogs and their happiness was a dream for us. I would not hesitate to have Leo over there again. He lives in a very convenient location, right in Santa Barbara and his home was safe and secure. Thank you Ryan. We all hope to see you again soon. Thank you!”

About: *MOVING FROM SANTA BARBARA IN JUNE* I have over 15 years of experience taking care of our furry little friends ranging from fresh out the womb puppies to senior dogs needing insulin shots. I’ve done it all and I’ve seen it all. However, I go at the pace of your requests. Putting you and your best friend first. My weekly schedule consists of work Monday and Tuesday from 8-1 PM. The other days I’m very flexible. Please note if you book with me on Mon/Tues I am only available outside of 8-1 PM for drop off requests. I abide by all the rules given by the client pertaining to their home. I am respectful, clean, and organized. I take great pride in my services and will make sure I meet the client and the pup’s needs! There are no dogs in my home. I live in a two floor townhome with two other dog loving best friends of mine!

About: I prioritize building a bond with each pet, respecting their boundaries, and understanding their unique personalities to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work from home so it is quite easy for me to take care of your pet and take them on plenty of walks. For onsite visits, I am available after 5pm onward. I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment where your pet will enjoy attention, playtime, and rest, all while being treated like a part of the family.


4. Stacey P.

“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!”


5. James T.


“James was super accommodating! We are visiting the area from out of town and needed a last minute doggy sitter. James was responsive and took great care of our Chippy. Thank you!”


6. Damian J.
“Damian loves dogs of all kinds. He's very patient, loving, and firm with my American Staffordshire Pit Bull, Rambo, forming a bond that is wonderful to see. He would make a great dog walker simply because he knows how important dogs are for companionship, love, and healthy living. His heart is in the right place and he loves being active. Damian would make a fantastic dog walker for Rover!”


7. Lynn & Marty R.
“Lynn and her husband Marty have always provided such a wonderful time for my dog, Red! He has enjoyed multiple stays with them and loves exploring their backyard and playing with their dog, Jayce. They are always ready with pictures and summaries of Red's day, which is very comforting during my time away from him. One of the best aspects of their pet caregiving is that they are always home with Red when he stays over as they are both retired. Additionally, they are friendly and enthusiastic, and Red always wishes he could stay longer!”


8. Jacob E.

13. Honey T.

“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++”
