About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and am comfortable around any size! I love taking my family dogs on walks and hikes and can adjust to energy levels between different ages and breeds :) While I work full-time, I have very flexible morning and lunch-time hours! Mondays: 7:00am-9:30am, 12:30-2:00pm, and again from 5:30-7:30pm Tuesdays: 7:00-8:30am, 11:30-2:00pm, and again from 6:15-7:30pm Wednesdays: 7:00-1:00pm, and again from 6:30-7:30pm Saturdays: 7:00am-7:00pm Sundays: 9:00am-7:00pm Free for housesitting, walks, and hikes on the weekends all day :) I am clean and respectful of other people’s space, and want to help your dog feel comfortable in their home. I am very communicative and can adjust to all kinds of care routines!

“This was our second booking with Cheryl and we will continue to ask for her in the future. She is very communicative, thorough and trustworthy, and quite good with our cat. In several instances she went above the promised services, which was most helpful. I recommend her highly.”

About: I bring almost a decade of pet care across several different professional facilities. Whether a puppy, unruly, shy, or elderly I've dealt with it all! I've managed chaotic play yards but I love forming strong one-on-one bonds with all furry creatures- I was many a pup's favorite in the yards, especially the ones who were less confident. I am currently open and flexible in order to accomdate a variety of client schedules. Whether you need a regular walker or weekend drop ins I'm your girl! The safety and well being of your dog is always my priority! I have my own rescue dog who came with a few behavioral quirks and have worked with him extensivley to be an upstanding citizen as well as manage his behaviors in general.

About: I’ve grown up with my friends’ dogs and personal dogs (two French Bulldogs and a Boston Terrier). I am comfortable with all breeds (as long as they are friendly!) I am confident and will make sure the dog and I understand each other during our walks. I am available to walk dogs after 4PM during the week and my weekends are usually open! I am prompt and appreciate clear directions before caring for your dogs. I have no pets and will be giving my full attention to yours with food, water, treats, naps, playtime, etc. I have an open green space and the dog will be leashed at all times outside of the home.

“Ashley was so easy to work with and plan for our quick mid-day visit! Bailey seemed to trust her immediately at our meet and greet and im sure appreciated the visit on a long day at home alone! I arrived hours later to everything in its place and bailey as happy as ever. Would love to have Ashley stop by again in the future!”

About: I've cared for and lived with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I currently own a 5 y/o small dog, Olive, who I regularly go on hikes and do agility training with. I'm highly organized, patient, and detailed-oriented. For every walk and visit, I always take thorough, precise notes to ensure the pups are comfortable, safe, and having an enjoyable time with me. While I love spoiling other people's dogs, I always ask for explicit permission before introducing new treats, routes, or activities. I'm particularly experienced with shy, anxious, and rescue dogs. Because I'm naturally quiet and calm, sensitive dogs tend to feel safe and warm up to me quickly. I am a PhD student in Communication currently writing my dissertation. I work entirely from home with a flexible schedule. I set my own working hours every day, and I can easily make time for walks or visits to meet your needs. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and emotionally consistent space to build trust and respect with the pets I care for. To me, it's important to treat other people's pet the way I want my pet to be treated, and to recognize that each pet is a unique individual. Generally, I maintain your exact routine for feeding, playtime, and walks. That said, every pet has distinct needs. Beyond just strictly sticking to plans, I always monitor their body language and behaviors to make sure they are comfortable, communicating with you to make adjustments along the way.

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've taken care of dogs and other pets for over 40 years. I grew up around all kind of animals, and am comfortable adapting to their unique personalities & needs. I work mostly from home, and can be flexible for your pet care needs. I am available 24/7 on weekends and some holidays. I will always try to accommodate your schedule. I have a house, with a large, fenced yard. I live on a quiet, dead-end street, and have an open space very close by to allow your dog to sniff, walk, explore & run. I am also available to house-sit/care for your pet in your home.

About: Hi! I've raised 7 dogs from 8 weeks to their passing, since I was 7 years old. And I am now blessed to have a new puppy. I have trained them, loved them, and cared for them when they got old. My 13 year old mini schnauzer had both dementia and a pace-maker so I am familiar with sick dogs as well as young virile pups. I am lucky enough not have to work at this time so I can devote all of my time to your pups. I am almost an empty nester so your pet will have my full attention and the enjoyment of my dog, Indigo, to play with. I have recently moved back to SB from LA and I have a lovely patio for the dogs to relax in. I love to take my pups to a quiet section of the beach for some good run around fun if they are allowed or a walk in my neighborhood. Otherwise we enjoy cuddle time at home and play time with Indigo.

About: I have always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m skilled at providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, and general companionship. Whether your pet needs extra snuggles or a high-energy play session, I’m here to ensure they feel loved and well cared for. I can visit 2-3 times a day to feed, walk, or check in on your pet, ensuring they’re happy and cared for while you're away. I’m flexible with my schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits to fit your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s overnight, daily care or occasional check-ins, I’m here to help! I prioritize creating a safe and stress-free environment for every pet. In your home, I make sure to follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime routines. I ensure your pet stays safe by using secure leashes for walks, monitoring their behavior, and avoiding risky situations.

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 have taken care of dogs and house-sat for families in my community since I was in high school. Whether it was checking in on dogs during the day or spending the night, I’ve responsibly cared for a family’s best friend. I have experience administering medicine to dogs and dealing with ones that may be considered “high maintenance.” I love just hanging out, walking, and taking care of dogs. I currently work full time from 10 am to 7 pm. I come home everyday for an hour lunch so I would be able to come and check in on your pup. I would be able to walk your dog in the morning and check on them during the day. I would feel comfortable taking your dog on walks around your neighborhood.

About: I’ve taken care of animals, of all kinds, my whole life. Growing up on a homestead has given me the passion as well as practical skill set to take care of animals. Newborn fosters, end of life care, administering medications or specific diets are no problem at all! I’m currently working part time, so I have an abundance of availability. Missing my furry babies back home, it would be my pleasure to care for your animals. I am fully prepared and have handled difficult and aggressive animals with ease in the past. I completely understand the fear of being away from your animals, I am always available via phone to ease any concerns.

“We had a family emergency and had to travel to the east coast after adopting our new puppy. Chelsi checked in on her, played with her and made sure she felt comfortable before leaving. Chelsi was super responsive, sent photos and always made sure to check in. We appreciated her care so much and will def book her again if given the opportunity. Thank you!!”

About: I absolutely love animals and especially dogs. I love walking them, taking them on fun outdoor adventures and also checking in on them while you are out and about. I may not currently have a pet of my own but I promise I will love yours as if they were my own. My schedule is very open and I make my own hours with the part-time work that I do. Plenty of time to visit with and walk your fur-baby! I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhoods. Also, I can come and visit with them at your home as much as needed.

About: I’ve taken care and house trained dogs for over 15 years. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Fur babies thrive on routine and respond to a set schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime. I’m currently working part time and I’m able to schedule myself my own hours. So I’ll have plenty of time to play and dedicate myself to your pups. I provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood as that’s where your pet is most familiar / comfortable. I ask you to please let me know if they have any special needs, if there are other local pets or people they do or do not get along with.

About: I’ve been around pets and animals my whole life! From dogs, to cats, to different varieties of fish, to guinea pigs, and even turtles! I’m no stranger to taking care of other people’s pets and animals, I watch family member’s pets and ever volunteer at an animal shelter back home in LA. When im back at home not at UCSB I have my 3 dogs (2 middle aged, 1 senior) and 2 cats (one younger, the other middle aged). I’m currently working on campus with two jobs and i have my classes to attend, but in between those times im more than happy to drive to appointments, and im usually free all weekends. All my pet (current and passed) have been and are taken care of 100%. They are my family, and one thing about me is I don’t play about my family!
