“Deandra and her family took wonderful care of my 5 month old puppy over the holidays. Charlie stayed with Deandra for 10 days and was given so much care and attention. She loved playing with their dog in the front yard, which was great socialization and tuckered Charlie out! Deandra sent daily updates which made me feel comforted to leave her for an extended timeframe. I highly recommend Deandra and plan to book her again!”
“Our fur babies stayed with Alexandra and Billy during our vacation in Santa Barbara. They were very accommodating during our time there. We were able to pick our pups, spend time with them and drop them off again. Our pups were happy and well taken care of. We will definitely contact them again on future visits to the area.”
About: Growing up my mother would call me Dr Doolittle because animals are naturally attracted to me. I grew up on a ranch in the mountains of Santa Barbara and still have property there and take my dog Dory on hikes and beach walks. I love animals and am happiest when I’m surrounded by them always have. I work mainly from home so I have plenty of time to care for your dog. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule which I know can be last minute. Happy to help out. I have a fenced yard and my mini Dashboard Dory will keep your dog company and show them around our big back yard with a hill to explore.
“Marc took excellent care of our dog. We had a last minute cancellation with a different dog sitter but Marc came to our rescue. His communication was great and overall we are happy customers. 2 paws up!”
“Really appreciate Cooper & Nora! They kept us updated and were honest about how our girl was doing. Very nice people that have created a great environment for our dog.”
“Sandy and her husband were so sweet with our dog who had an injury right before our vacation. Sandy could tell we didn’t want to leave her, and provided lots of reassurance that our dog would be in good hands. Because of the injury she had a lot of extra meds, which Sandy administered easily! Thank you, Sandy and Tony for loving on Sadey! She even got a beach day!”
“My active and playful cattle dog had a wonderful time with Lynn and Marty. They made her feel at home immediately - opening up a treasure trove of doggie toys and giving her a warm and cosy spot to chill out when she needed it. On a very rainy weekend they made sure she still got to run around in their big and safe yard with ball throwing and fetch. At night they followed her usual routine at bedtime with great success -a good nights sleep had by all. I am very happy I have found Lynn and Marty as a home away from home for Darling.”
“Mario is the absolute best. I was Able to set up a meet and greet before my vacation. While on vacation, Mario kept my husband and I updated and I felt at ease knowing my Nala was okay. I will Definitely be having him dog sit Nala again! Thank you so much Mario.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I come from a long line of dog people, with generations of family members who have always had dogs in the home. If you ask me my favorite subject, the answer is always “dogs.” I’m the type of person who says hello to every dog I pass, attends dog trivia nights for fun, and spends my free time volunteering at Santa Barbara Humane. If there’s a dog nearby, chances are I’ve already stopped to say hi! My background as an animal lover goes beyond passion. I spent years working in veterinary medicine, gaining hands-on experience caring for animals that need a little extra attention and support. This includes puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with medical needs. I already love spending time walking around beautiful Santa Barbara, so I’m thrilled to combine my daily walks with quality time spent with the doggos of Santa Barbara! I have a flexible, hybrid schedule and can typically adjust on short notice. If I do go into my office, it’s typically for 4-6 hours. I love taking walks throughout the day, so it’ll be easy to add walking your dog to my daily schedule! I have a one bedroom apartment with a sunny balcony. I am able to close off various spaces around the apartment if needed. I’m also comfortable with pets on furniture and giving baths if needed.
“Danielle was awesome...she accepted the booking with little notice, and took such great care of Skye. He had playtime in the yard & walks....he was a very happy boy. Danielle kept me updated with photos....would definitely recommend!”
“Jacqueline and Roland were wonderful with Remy. They were mindful of his needs and accommodated him beautifully. They sent me pictures to eliminate my anxiety and were always responsive. We had a great experience!”
“Ashly was amazing!! She is super communicative and responsive, and I felt so comfortable and safe leaving my pup with her. He came home happy and well loved. We would absolutely trust her with our pup again!”
“Vivian helped with a last minute request to watch our pup. She was really flexible with our changing needs and we were happy our dog stayed with her for a few hours while we visited the zoo. Very friendly and responsive.”
“My Teddy Bear enjoyed his stay at Amber's house! He had a ball running around in her big, fenced in backyard and playing with her two girls! Teddy also enjoyed a nature walk! Amber's home is comfortable and she provided a very nice stay for my pup. She even gave me fresh eggs from her chickens! I highly recommend Amber and would not hesitate to use her again!”
“My 2 year old doodle had a fantastic time with Todd and Febronia! She came back worn out and smelling great. As soon as I arrived, I could tell it was going to be a great stay for her. Febronia was so friendly and has a fantastic yard for the dogs to run in, and a safe, clean, fun house for the dogs to hang out in. I felt totally safe leaving my dog here, and I could tell that she is happy and worn out from all the fun.”

“Deandra was a great pet sitter for my senior 5 lb dog. I used her for extended drop ins two days in a row and she always came right as scheduled, checked in with me, and sent plenty of pictures and an update on my dog when she left. She gave my dog lots of love, treats, and outdoors time and he was happy and relaxed every time I came home after one of her visits. I’m so happy I found her and will be using her as a pet sitter going forward!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and currently have 2 cats of my own that I’ve cared for for over 13 years after rescuing them off of the street. I also have experience caring for neighbors’ cats while they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, medications if needed, and giving shy or nervous cats time and patience to warm up at their own pace.
“I highly recommend Annette! She accepted my booking request on very short notice, which was a huge help. She took great care of my three cats and was reliable, responsive, and thoughtful, sending me pictures and updates during each visit. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away. I truly appreciated her help and would gladly book with her again.”

About: I loved dogs so much when I was young that when I was 13 I started my first job as a dog washer at the “European Grooming” dog groomers up the street from my childhood home. I would work there all day every Saturday and loved it because I got to be with so many dogs. I also have been a second mom to my friend’s two Pitbull pups which have been quite a handful, but noting I can’t handle! I have experience helping to train and discipline even the most hyper and aggressive pupsters. I’m currently working part time remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I just moved here and I think it would be fun to get to walk dogs while walking around this beautiful area 🌊 I can’t have dogs come to my home because my roommates have territorial cats, but I am happy to house sit and walk dogs to help families who need a reliable dog sitter.
About: I've taken care of cats of every kind since I was a child - from feeding the local ferals and rescuing strays to preparing trained Maine Coons for showtime and everything in between. While I know many sitters treat the family cat as an add-on that accompanies the dog, I know your kitty has its own personality, play style and quirks. With extensive experience with senior and medically fragile cats requiring a variety of healthcare treatments, I'm here to help ensure your feline friends are not just checked in on but truly nurtured while you're away.

About: Since I was a little girl I've had the opportunity to raise and care for a variety of dog breeds...dalmatian, maltese, miniature schnauzer, tea cup poodle, and chihuahua. One of my most memorable moments I had growing up was when I woke up to my dalmatian Pepper's newborn puppies that my parents placed around me in my bed. They were absolutely adorable! I will never forget their sweet little faces! From a very young age I learned the responsibilties of quality pet care...proper nutrition, exercise, and T.L.C.

About: I love all animals. Big or small, anxious or confident. I have dog sat for 6 years and have had cats of my own my whole life.

I also have watched elderly dogs with specific medication needs, so can cater to the needs of older animals. I am empathetic and a caretaker, so will treat your animal and home kindly and with care.

This can be said for my brothers dog as well, as he also has anxiety, and Ive tooken care and walked him frequently. I'm very detail orientated with dogs, so that they feel comfortable and happy. So ify they need some kind of specific care, I will make it a priority. Im currently just going to Santa Barbara City College. I have college on Mondaya, Thursdays, asn Fridays from 10 to 3.

(She is 2.5 and is in a full time preschool program.) Primarily looking for dog care in your home, can discuss stays with me, as needed. My condo association allows for dogs, however I do not have a fenced outdoor space.
“Noah was great with Gracie. She's a very high energy dog and she came back from her walks exhausted and ready to nap. I needed someone who was flexible with times and Noah was prompt in responding and being flexible.”
About: I’ve worked professionally with dogs for over 5 years at a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also have a multi-pet household of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling routines, feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and giving your pup or kitty lots of love and attention. I have experience working with puppies, senior dogs, nervous or anxious dogs, and dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance to feel comfortable. Building trust with animals is one of my favorite parts of pet care, and I love helping shy pets come out of their shell and gain confidence over time. I’m also trained in dog CPR ,as well as how to respond if one has a seizure, and I stay calm in stressful situations while always prioritizing safety. Whether your furbaby loves adventures and playtime or prefers calm companionship and cuddles, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I currently work part-time at a dog daycare and boarding facility, so caring for animals is already a huge part of my daily life, both at work and at home! I’m fully available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with afternoon to evening availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I love staying active, spending time with animals, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including nervous or anxious pets who may need extra patience and reassurance. I always take time to build trust and help pets feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I’m trained in dog CPR and seizure response, and I stay calm and attentive in stressful situations. During visits, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and love while also respecting their routines and your home. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands.

“Chloe was great with Aria! She took her on two nice walks and I know Aria enjoyed getting out and exercising! Chloe confirmed on relatively short notice and was kind, communicative and professional. Thanks Chloe!”
About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was born. I’ve had bunnies and cats and fish and dogs and birds. I’ve learned great ways to meet each of these animals with gentle and respectful care. I primarily work Monday-Wednesday 11am-8pm. I’m much more available in the evenings and weekends to take care of beloved pets. Pet walks would be most accessible on Thursdays-Sundays. I do not offer pet care in my home, I don’t have pets because I live in a very tiny apartment and know that’s not conducive for their wellbeing. In my client’s home, I show the utmost respect and care for their items, animal care needs and I triple check that I leave everything clean and locked.
About: Hi there! I am an Aussie working (hybrid) in LA with over 8yrs of consistent pet sitting experience and a lifetime of loving and living with pets. My experience is expansive; from helping birth puppies to caring for senior animals who were on their last legs. My work is 90% remote which makes my schedule compatible with the needs of most pets and if extra care or time is required my work is flexible in that I can adapt accordingly. I have a fenced yard and lots of beautiful dog parks surrounding. And working from home means I have lots of time to love on the animals who need attention.
About: I had a dog for 9 years that showed me how much I love dogs and how cute they can be. My friend and family can trust me with there dogs and how much I would like to keep on helping others with there dogs by walking them or being with them to give them that love and attention they need. Currently, I’m not working, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog! I can be available in the day for there early walks. At the moment I don’t have a dog so I have all the love/time to give your dog because I love them so much and I know as a previous dog owner, you want someone to give the attention and love they deserve and need and I will give them that.
About: Since my early childhood, I've nurtured a profound fascination with animals, which began when I used to visit my papa's ranch and assist him in caring for dogs, horses, lambs, and various other animals. This passion persisted as I ventured into horseback riding and my family welcomed our first golden retriever. Presently, my devotion to dogs has reached new heights as I have a Golden Retriever of my own, not just a family pet. She has become my dearest companion, best friend, and daughter. I first met her as a puppy and after a few times playing with her, knew she was mine. Along the way, I've happily taken on the role of pet-sitter for numerous friends' dogs and cats. I firmly believe that pets deserve nothing but the utmost care and affection, and I can see how the love they receive is beautifully reflected in their demeanor. Thanks to my keen intuition and ability to connect rapidly with dogs, some of my friends even refer to me as the "dog whisperer." I am currently in between jobs and have a pretty open schedule. I start my job mid July and will be available weekends and occasional nights then. As a dedicated dog babysitter, I want to assure you that your beloved furry friend's safety is my utmost priority. I am a responsible and reliable caregiver who takes the time to understand each dog's unique needs and preferences. My commitment to your pet's well-being means they will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you are away. I will strive to create a nurturing and stress-free environment for your dog, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy during our time together.

“Deandra and her family took wonderful care of my 5 month old puppy over the holidays. Charlie stayed with Deandra for 10 days and was given so much care and attention. She loved playing with their dog in the front yard, which was great socialization and tuckered Charlie out! Deandra sent daily updates which made me feel comforted to leave her for an extended timeframe. I highly recommend Deandra and plan to book her again!”
“Our fur babies stayed with Alexandra and Billy during our vacation in Santa Barbara. They were very accommodating during our time there. We were able to pick our pups, spend time with them and drop them off again. Our pups were happy and well taken care of. We will definitely contact them again on future visits to the area.”
About: Growing up my mother would call me Dr Doolittle because animals are naturally attracted to me. I grew up on a ranch in the mountains of Santa Barbara and still have property there and take my dog Dory on hikes and beach walks. I love animals and am happiest when I’m surrounded by them always have. I work mainly from home so I have plenty of time to care for your dog. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule which I know can be last minute. Happy to help out. I have a fenced yard and my mini Dashboard Dory will keep your dog company and show them around our big back yard with a hill to explore.
“Marc took excellent care of our dog. We had a last minute cancellation with a different dog sitter but Marc came to our rescue. His communication was great and overall we are happy customers. 2 paws up!”
“Really appreciate Cooper & Nora! They kept us updated and were honest about how our girl was doing. Very nice people that have created a great environment for our dog.”
“Sandy and her husband were so sweet with our dog who had an injury right before our vacation. Sandy could tell we didn’t want to leave her, and provided lots of reassurance that our dog would be in good hands. Because of the injury she had a lot of extra meds, which Sandy administered easily! Thank you, Sandy and Tony for loving on Sadey! She even got a beach day!”
“My active and playful cattle dog had a wonderful time with Lynn and Marty. They made her feel at home immediately - opening up a treasure trove of doggie toys and giving her a warm and cosy spot to chill out when she needed it. On a very rainy weekend they made sure she still got to run around in their big and safe yard with ball throwing and fetch. At night they followed her usual routine at bedtime with great success -a good nights sleep had by all. I am very happy I have found Lynn and Marty as a home away from home for Darling.”
“Danielle was awesome...she accepted the booking with little notice, and took such great care of Skye. He had playtime in the yard & walks....he was a very happy boy. Danielle kept me updated with photos....would definitely recommend!”
“Jacqueline and Roland were wonderful with Remy. They were mindful of his needs and accommodated him beautifully. They sent me pictures to eliminate my anxiety and were always responsive. We had a great experience!”
“Ashly was amazing!! She is super communicative and responsive, and I felt so comfortable and safe leaving my pup with her. He came home happy and well loved. We would absolutely trust her with our pup again!”
“Vivian helped with a last minute request to watch our pup. She was really flexible with our changing needs and we were happy our dog stayed with her for a few hours while we visited the zoo. Very friendly and responsive.”
“My Teddy Bear enjoyed his stay at Amber's house! He had a ball running around in her big, fenced in backyard and playing with her two girls! Teddy also enjoyed a nature walk! Amber's home is comfortable and she provided a very nice stay for my pup. She even gave me fresh eggs from her chickens! I highly recommend Amber and would not hesitate to use her again!”
“My 2 year old doodle had a fantastic time with Todd and Febronia! She came back worn out and smelling great. As soon as I arrived, I could tell it was going to be a great stay for her. Febronia was so friendly and has a fantastic yard for the dogs to run in, and a safe, clean, fun house for the dogs to hang out in. I felt totally safe leaving my dog here, and I could tell that she is happy and worn out from all the fun.”
“Ellen was amazing! my little dog needed medication administered and some special attention and Ellen handled it no problem. We highly recommend her and will have our little dog stay with her next time we leave!”
“Damian is the best! He has looked after our dog for over three weeks while we were away, and he cares for her just like his own dog. Sprite gets daily excised and fun time, and we receive frequent updates on her. Will go back to Damian again!”
About: I treat dogs with the Golden Rule. Dogs have short lives and it’s up to us to make them full of love, friends, long walks, and sunshine! I’ll treat your pup like I treat my own, and with any special care precautions. I have loved caring / training my own dogs and grew up taking care of my family dogs as well. I am quick to understanding their little special ways of communicating. Work from home most days and have a balcony, a lovely little courtyard, and a dog park in my complex for fresh air. I can, and enjoy taking morning, afternoon and evening walks at one of the several nice walking paths nearby. I have neighbor dog friends that I watch occasionally and would love to come play if your dog prefers dog company. My complex is highly secure, and I live in a lovely safe and walkable area. I have a courtyard and dog park and courtyard facing patio.
“We had a wonderful experience and would give more than 5 stars if we could! Our dog was so comfortable and happy during her stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout our trip - we received regular updates and felt confident that our dog was well cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and provide a safe, welcoming environment. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend to other pet parents!”
