House Sitting Upper State

“There’s nothing like knowing your beloved Pet is being well cared for in your absence. This is absolutely imperative that I not worry about my dog while I’m out there trying to have fun! Jessa and Justin did exactly that: freed my mind up so I could enjoy my time away. They are kind and loving towards animals and sent me update pictures while I was away. They are a blessing.”

“Another great job by Debra. She left the house clean and our dog appeared to be well taken care of. Debra was accommodating/flexible with our start time and willing to get up early with our senior dog. She also sent updates and was quick to respond. Thank you!”

“Lisa’s care of our three dogs was wonderful. She went above and beyond for them and took great care of our property as well. She even has a green thumb!”

“Leo was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have two senior dogs and one of which does not warm up to people very often and she loved Leo! He took them for walks and send me cute photos of them! He also administered antibiotic eyedrops for one of my dogs twice a day, and he cleaned and monitored the area for me. He went above and beyond! I came home to a clean apartment and the dishes that I stored their fresh food in for the week were all clean. Would highly recommend Leo for any dog needs!”

“Ellie was a godsend! She made Freckle feel so cared for. I really felt that Freck benefitted from her loving attention. Ellie was super communicative and went the extra mile to help me and my kitty stay connected—my babe has had a lot of changes since being rescued and she has a tendency towards UTI symptoms. That said, Ellie cares deeply for animals and I am sure she would give the world to each of them, no matter their needs. Ellie was so caring to Freckle and they formed a sweet connection! Will definitely be requesting her as a sitter for Freck again.”

“Breanna was great!! She kept our 12 year old maltipoo company while we were out for a few hours. Very sweet and friendly. I will definitely be using her again when I’m in town.”

Karla L.

“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of our (very spirited) puppy while we were out of town. She was reliable and communicative and overall just a pleasure to deal with.”

About: I have been relied on by friends and neighbors to walk, feed, socialize, and love on their pups for the last five years! Experience with dogs began with my own dog on the ranch I grew up at and since have house sat, walked, and done daily check ins for dogs when life gets a bit too busy. I am a full time engineer, starting work at 4am during the week. Depending on my meeting schedule, daily evening and/or afternoon walks are perfect. Every couple of hour check ins generally fit in my schedule too. I am home fairly early in the evenings and can house sit most nights of the week (especially weekends). Whatever your pet’s standard routine is, I will match it! I attempt to not disrupt their daily lifestyle. Their usual sleeping arrangements, meal times, and exercise habits will be as normal.

“Joann was a great pet sitter and made me feel at ease leaving my pet!”

“Rowena was so attentive to our fur babies and their needs. She is very athletic and appreciated the altheticism of our dogs. We felt very comfortable with her and we were able to disconnect completely during our vacation.”

About: I’m calm, attentive, and dependable, and I treat every dog as an individual. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and preferences so they can feel comfortable and secure while their people are away. I understand that good pet sitting is about more than feeding and walks—it’s about being a trustworthy presence in your home, following your instructions carefully, communicating clearly, and giving your dog plenty of companionship and attention. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I offer a complimentary Meet & Greet in your home before your first booking so we can get to know each other, go over your dog’s routine, and make sure we’re a good fit. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive overnight care while still maintaining my regular commitments. I’m an early riser, so morning walks, breakfast, and a little extra companionship are naturally part of my routine. During the day, I may step out for several hours, but I make sure each dog’s needs and comfort are prioritized. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible so their time away from you feels familiar and relaxed. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, play time, and their usual bedtime routine. I give dogs plenty of companionship and attention while also respecting their need for rest and space. I’ll keep your home tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. My goal is for your dog to feel safe and settled—and for you to come home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home.

“Chrystal was great with our dogs. She sent us frequent updates and the dogs were clearly happy with her. She is experienced handling rescue dogs which is always a plus!”

Ashley M.

“Cheryl was prompt, professional, warm and caring. She took excellent care of our dogs, and we would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care. ”

“Stefanny is a gem! I feel so lucky to have found her on Rover while visiting Santa Barbara this month. Stefanny took such good care of my kitty while I was away for the weekend. I felt at ease knowing my kitty and home were in caring hands, especially knowing that she is a cat mama herself. Stefanny's energy is very calming and she asked thoughtful questions about my kitty's routine. She sent me daily photos and updates throughout the weekend which was much appreciated. I arrived home to a spotless home and happy kitty. I highly recommend Stefanny!!”

“Anela was very kind and nice to Cleo. She did a really good job with her!”

German Alexis Z.

“Chelsi was great. We we out for about 7 hours while she watched Sheilah. She sent us updates and pictures. Since we were out of town, it was reassuring to have such a competent, confident and friendly sitter . Nothing but praise for Chelsi. We will use her again if the situation arises.”

Fred M.

“Blake was fantastic and took great care of our two dogs in our house for almost 12 days. Highly recommend.”

Michelle G.

“Grace was an amazing dog sitter for us during our stay in Santa Barbara. It was our first time using Rover so we were not super prepared on our dog sitting directions, but she went above and beyond in asking us specific questions on the care of our dog and made sure to follow through on all directions that we’ve provided. She regularly sends updates of our dog and was quick to respond whenever we text her. We are very lucky to have Grace as our dog sitter and would recommend any dog parents to use her for their beloved pet(s).”

About: I have cared for pets most of my life and am a true animal lover. I have experience with dogs, cats and horses and would love to make your pets day special. I am currently taking time off work and when I am in town my schedule is very flexible. I definitely have the ability to tailor my day to your pet’s needs. I am reliable, and trustworthy and if I am in your home or elsewhere will be sure to follow any special instructions you have for your pet.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a child. I had 2 dogs growing up- a cockapoo and a shih tzu/bichon frise mix. In recent years I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for clients and friends. I have a deep love for animals and am very detailed in how I care for them. I work from home so I have complete flexibility. I am available any day of the week. I live in Goleta and can drive anywhere in town. I will take care of all of your pet’s needs including daily walks, feeding, and daily medications. In addition, I will do any needed house tasks including watering plants, taking out the trash, taking in the mail and any other special requests.
