“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!”

“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.”

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.

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.

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!!”

“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’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.

Wow cannot say enough what an incredible gift Zohe was as a sitter. She not only took care of my two dogs, one big one little, with extreme affection and kindness, but she also did insanely detailed journals of every day she spent with the dogs, including multiple pictures. The way she spoke about my dogs made me feel like it was a trusted family member taking care of them! Thank you Zohe

Solomia was absolutely wonderful with Lumi! I felt very comfortable knowing Lumi was in great hands while I was away. She was attentive, communicative, and felt that she treated Lumi like she was her own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, which is all you can ask for. I unfortunately had a flight delay on my last day of the trip and Solomia helped out to come back and care for Lumi after her original service time. I would absolutely trust Solomia with Lumi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. Thank you, Solomia!

We SO enjoyed having Deborah watch our home and take care of our dog. Charlie was genuinely happy when we got home - not just happy that we're home. This isn't always the case when someone new stays, so this is huge. Our house was left in perfect shape, and Deborah was great with communication and updates. We will absolutely look forward to using her again.

Mikyla (Kayla) was amazing with our Pomeranian, Sunny. She helped us out on short notice when we went on a long day trip. She came over to meet before which made me feel at ease. Sunny is a dog who needs comfort and someone is attentive. Kayla took notes when we met about Sunny's routine, and on the day of sent lots of updates and cute photos. We were so grateful for her help. Would highly recommend her!

Katherine was so amazing with our elderly Pug for his first time with a sitter. Im so happy we picked Kat for his new friend! She went above and beyond with his care including snuggles, outside time, and plenty of photos to show us he was having a good time. When we are vacationing in the area we will definitely reach out again! Truly, above and beyond any and all expectation.

Capri was amazing with our Pomeranian Sunny! She was available on short notice and took great care of him. She's helpful, kind and detail oriented. He's anxious and she made him feel right at home with her. Our family was able to go on a whale watching adventure because of her help. We highly recommend her. Thank you, Capri!
