Doggy Day Care Upper State

About: I’ve owned and cared for pets over the course of my entire life. Dogs are my love and bring such joy into my world. I have always had a natural born connection that cannot really be explained. It’s a magnetism and I’m drawn to them as much as they are to me :). I have a deep understanding and knowledge of a variety of health issues that dogs commonly have including bone, joint, heart, GI issues and dietary restrictions. I’ve experienced quite a bit over the course of my life personally caring for dogs with these issues including blindness & deafness, injuries. I’m mature enough and a mom myself to confidently say that your family would be treated as my own would. I have also cared for and owned a variety of birds, fish, reptiles, bunnies, guinea pigs, chinchilla and then some! ;). Your animals would be loved as my own! Happy to do overnight care on somewhat short notice as well. Live in the Mission canyon area and have a gated yard with space for sun bathing and potty breaks/lizard chasing ;). Reliable car, DL, Insurance etc. - open to running errands, helping around the house (can discuss rate). My schedule is flexible and I’m available for boarding as well overnight with a little notice ahead of time. No problem with house sitting I have a gated yard and no pets. Nice neighborhood with friendly neighbors with dogs that enjoy each other. Local trails close by and the Riviera Theater close and other nice doggy friendly locations!

“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!”

Gabi S.

“Andrea was very welcoming and accommodating. I had a last minute request, Luna felt very comfortable at their place and I'm sure had a great time. Thank you!”

Deborah M.

“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!”

“This was my first time using rover and leaving my dog for day sitting. Last minute our sitter couldn’t watch our dog, so we brought her with us on our trip to Santa Barbara. We wanted to explore, but did not want to leave her in a motel room, so we looked for a doggie daycare. Honey was responsive and took our dog in last minute. Even on a holiday weekend. I was nervous about my dog having anxiety, but Honey was very friendly and communicated throughout the day to keep me posted about my dog’s day. She is excellent with animals and has a kind nature that dogs can sense. My dog was comfortable and she even got her to eat! Which is something my dog does not do when she’s away from home. Thank you Honey for opening your home to our Roxy.”

“Wonderful experience. Very communicative, easily reachable and flexible. Tazz had a great time and will definitely want to come back!”

“Jacob and his wife are wonderful to work with. They cared for our Bella, and sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. This is our 2nd time working together and we highly recommend them!”

Coriander S.

“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.”

“Julia was great with our pitbull tofu! She was able to take him on, on fairly short notice and he had a wonderful time with her !”

Carmen L.

“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 🙂”

Vern R.

“I can't recommend Sandy enough. We were in a bind needing a last-minute sitter, and she was incredibly responsive and flexible. She made the logistics simple. My fiancé had no trouble at all coordinating drop-off and pick-up. While we were away, she sent photo updates that showed our dog relaxed and happy. When we picked him up, he was clearly well-cared for and in great spirits. Sandy truly saved the day. Thank you!”

About: Mature, responsible dog lover doing this for the joy of being around dogs. I have two rescue GSPs and am frequently at Hendrys, Douglas preserve and Shoreline and may have met you out there with your dogs. Compassionate, caring loving. Can offer exercise with my friendly dogs for socialization or solo. I can pickup and or walk at your home. I have had rescue dogs my entire life including labs, German short haired pointers, and various mixed breeds small and large including older dogs. I am available early mornings, late afternoons and evenings, overnight and weekends. I unfortunately cannot provide services to agressive dogs and or pit bull or related breeds. Please ask with any questions. Just getting started on Rover so offering low rates. Thank you. Justin

“Wendy was amazing with Tobi. She’s gentle and seems to really care about the dogs she watches. Tobi loved hanging out with her all day. Would trust Wendy with any of my pets anytime!”

Karen F.

“Tory was wonderful caring for our Hans! He is a little shy/timid at first but he warmed up to her really quickly. I felt at ease having such a calming presence to care for Hans!”

Andrea 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...”

Sharon C.

“Nancy was awesome. Our pup is shy and has separation anxiety, Anaconda knee just how to handle her. She is kind, gentle and easy going. Thanks for making this such a great experience for Vaughan.”

Sue B.

“Tracy is wonderful! My dog, Murphy, is always so excited when he sees that we are at her place. He clearly feels very comfortable with Tracy. I'm so happy to have found someone my dog adores so much.”

Shira G.

“Jorrit, his family, and sweet dog JJ were wonderful caregivers for our dog, Gio for the day. A friendly, calm, and hospital environment provided a great retreat for Gio when I needed to be away. Thank you for being patient and loving towards him. I hope to be back.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10. I have been a dog walker for my family, who has always had 3-4 large dogs. I have taken hundreds of beach walks/neighborhood walks with my own dogs and neighbors dogs that I have been asked to watch. I currently work remote and have time to stay with the dog for longer periods of time, I love taking long walks especially. I have more time on weekdays as I take frequent walks, I often leave town on the weekends or am out of the house. I have a yard, but it is not fenced. I would keep the dog inside with me at all times and always keep an eye on him/her. On walks I will always be attentive and keep the dog on leash as needed/required.

“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!”
