“This was our first time using Rover & finding pet care for our dog! Deandra and her family were so lovely and kind and we felt so at ease leaving our pup with her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Danielle provided excellent care for our Lilly. We appreciated the pictures updating us on how Lilly was doing during her stay. Also, we appreciated Danielle's extra attention and care since Lilly did get a bit of an upset stomach during her stay. Lilly was in great spirits when we returned from our trip and no doubt it was because of Danielle's care for her.”
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.
“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!”
“Coco was happy, safe and well taken care of at Bradley's house for 5 nights while we attended wedding celebrations in Santa Barbara. Bradley greeted us as we dropped off Coco; he was warm, friendly and kind to Coco; and we received photos of her regularly. Coco had a chance to hang out with other gentle dogs -- she went for walks and enjoyed sniffing around the grassy lawn. Bradley greeted us when we picked her up at the end of her stay. We would feel very happy to leave Coco with Bradley again if the opportunity arose. Thank you!!”
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!
“Catherine was a lifesaver!! She took amazing care of our fur baby and was super flexible when we needed extra days of dog sitting due to a medical emergency when we were out of town that prevented us being able to pick him up on time. We are so grateful for her compassion!”
“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!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Skilly received! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. They made Skilly feel comfortable, loved, and right at home, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received updates and could tell she was being treated like part of the family. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Skilly. We will absolutely be using your services again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Time and time again Kay takes the best care of our puppers. We recently moved out of the county and still do the drive because we know she takes him in as one of her own. Toby enjoys playtime, morning walks and bed time when he’s with Kay. He returns home tired and worn out for a few days. We love Kay. She sends daily updates with video and pictures which we appreciate to hear how he’s doing and gives us the peace of mind he’s in great hands. It’s like a vacation for him too!”
“jacquelyn was great! dropped my dog off to her for the weekend and received multiple updates each day. especially appreciated the photos and videos! when i picked up my dog he seemed to have had a good time ˙ᵕ˙”
“Katherine & her husband were wonderful sitters. Before even confirming the booking, they took the time to drive up for a meet & greet, asking thoughtful questions about my pup’s routine, preferences, habits, etc. Katherine provided updates and photos multiple times a day, and was wonderful about accommodating pick up a few hours later than planned due to a flight delay. Would highly recommend Katherine & Sergio to other pet parents looking for a sitter. Thank you!”
“Cooper, Nora and fam were amazing with Archer!! They took great care of him and were very thorough with their communication!! Put me at ease that he was in such loving hands!! Thanks again!!”

“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 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.
About: For as long as I can remember, caring for cats have been a staple experience of my life. My household had four cats at a time for many years, and me and my roommate adopted one in college! I understand their simultaneous need for love and independence, and will do my best to meet you and your feline's needs!
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: Please note that I work 9-5 in Santa Barbara. Please be sure you are comfortable with me being gone that long. I can recommend a dog walker who might be able to help with check-ins, based on her availability. My experience is predominantly in cats and dogs but I have also cared for birds, rabbits, fish, and reptiles. One of my regular customers in the past had llamas, camels, donkeys, tortoises, a pig, a ferret, a hedgehog, and two dogs + a litter of 8 week old puppies. I have also cared for my parents' horses. I work in Santa Barbara from 9-5. Please consider if you are comfortable with me being gone that long. I can recommend a dog walker who might be able to help with check-ins, depending on her availability. I am available in the evening all days of the week. I have Sundays and Mondays off so that's when I am most available for daytime services. I have no problem giving food, fresh water, and loving attention to your pets! Does your dog need playtime and walks? No problem! Does your cat need a lap to sit on before bed? No problem! I can also help with administering pills and liquid medications.

“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 cared for large and small animals since I was young. I recently lost my 13-year-old german shepherd, and although I'm not ready to get another dog of my own, I have lots of love to give your fur babies.

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. I've also had the opportunity to care for extended family and friends dogs, which include various breeds such as labrador retriever, border collie, samoyed, Boston terrier, great dane, golden retriever, and goldendoodle. I am thankful for being able to care for so many great and unique dogs over the years. In the future, I would love to own a Bernese Mountian dog! At this point in time, I enjoy caring for other's dogs and would love the opportunity to watch your dog or doggies!!

“Alexandra and Billy were wonderful! We felt completely secure leaving our Dobie with them. They made him feel right at home and took him on fun walks and adventures. I would highly recommend Alexandra and Billy to anyone looking for a safe and reliable place where their fur baby will be loved and very well cared for. We look forward to reaching out to them again when we’re back in the area! 🐾”
About: Hello There! My little family and myself are pet lovers! 🥰 We have two dogs, two cats and a bearded dragon. Our home has always been a bit of a revolving door for furry friends. I have been dog walking and pet sitting locally for the past 17yrs and have plenty of references. I am out and about most mornings doing dog walks, typically 9/930-12ish and available again most afternoon or evenings depending on what you need. I work for an afterschool program during the school year so my schedule tends to open up a bit more during the summer. We have a high, fully fenced in back yard w plenty of shade. I tend to take boarded pups w me on my walks if the temperament works. We live in a very quiet little corner in Carpinteria surrounded by parks and bike trails.
“Nina and her family were wonderfully sweet, attentive and caring with my high energy pup. He always came back happy and excited when I would pick him up. I also enjoyed how he they took him on some family days and sent me pics! He looked extremely happy and well cared for!”
“Katherine was courteous, kind, and made sure to tailor her care to Harry’s needs. I greatly appreciated the text and picture updates, as he is special needs and an older pup. She was phenomenal and we will definitely be back!”

“Jenni provides excellent communication and a really calm, loving environment for dog daycare. She takes just one dog at a time. She has a very sweet, mellow dog of her own. In addition to walks, there is a sunny and fenced in courtyard. The location is easy to get to.”
“My dog Rubio had an excellent time with Jayme. They went to the park for two hours during Ru's visit and had some chill out/nap time. Jayme is so sweet and provided me with a very thorough update on the visit. I would not hesitate to book with her again.”
About: I'm a lifelong animal owner and lover - large breeds and small or with fur, scales, hooves, or feathers. My live-in partner is a work from home professional and certified dog trainer and I'm the Hospital Manager of a local veterinary hospital. Together, we offer a uniquely loving, experienced, and structured environment for pets of any size or special needs. Pets in our care are spoiled with snuggles and lots of love, treats (when permitted by their owners) and rarely spend time out of our sight. Long walks and playtime with our cattle dog and chihuahua wear out most dogs in no time. Unless specifically requested by their owners, dogs in our care are never crated for extended periods or locked inside without access to a fenced patio. Schedule: I offer an open, flexible schedule for clients with pets of all kinds. My pups and I begin each day with a walk to the beach, then home for a quick bath, brush, and nap before more playtime in the afternoon. Having someone that works from home allows all the time in the world for our pups and our visiting guests to be pampered, offering customized care for their unique needs. I treat drop-in visits like I would my own home, bringing in packages and ensuring everyone is happy and healthy before departing. Pets in my care are given extensive mental enrichment and physical exercise, with photos sent each visit to pet parents to ease any concerns and keep you informed about what your beloved furry family member is up to each day.

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. It will also be a treat for me to spend time with your lovely animals and get out for some exercise with them. I WFH so I have a great routine for pet care. I also love to walk and exercise outside. Your pet will get great exercise and be happy. I have a small fenced yard that I let pets run around in while I’m working and occupied. I let pets on my furniture and in my bed. In clients home, I am clean and respectful.

Wonderful company for your four legged family member.I love night walks so if you’re out late and need someone to walk Fido, I’m ya gal. I can provide plenty of love and affection.

“Isabelle was a great sitter for Eleanor! My boyfriend and I were down in Santa Barbara for a long weekend, and decided last minute to look for day care for our golden so that we could spend a day exploring around. Isabelle was super responsive, fairly priced, met us early AM for drop off, and was flexible on return time! Ellen had a blast, and came home tired!”
About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a lifelong dog lover and animal person. I raised a 15-year-old Havanese from puppyhood through her senior years, and now share my life with Willow, my playful and social one-year-old cattle dog mix who absolutely loves having dog friends around. We live on a peaceful mountain property near Carpinteria with lots of outdoor space to explore. Our days are full but relaxed — usually a mix of time at home while I work on graduate school coursework, walks around the property, afternoon rest time, and beach outings or little adventures into town. I love matching each dog’s energy level — whether that means active hikes and play sessions or a slower-paced day with cozy naps and calm companionship. I’m currently in graduate school studying acupuncture, so I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care. I also love sending photo and video updates so you can see your pup enjoying their stay. I have experience with training and behavior work, including helping raise a previously reactive rescue dog. While I have that background, I’m currently focused on hosting dogs who are comfortable social playmates for Willow, so I’m not taking reactive dogs at this time. Our home also includes chickens (securely enclosed), and I’m happy to accommodate pickups or coordinate logistics to make things easy. If you’re looking for a safe, loving environment where your dog can enjoy outdoor adventures, companionship, and attentive care — I’d love to connect! As a graduate acupuncture student, I spend most of my days at home studying, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and structured care. Our daily routine includes relaxed time at home, walks around our mountain property near Carpinteria, rest breaks, and beach or town outings depending on your dog’s energy level. I’m able to accommodate active dogs who love adventure as well as pups who prefer a slower, cozy pace. Because I’m home frequently, dogs are rarely left alone and get lots of attention, enrichment, and outdoor time throughout the day. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on a peaceful mountain property with plenty of outdoor space and a calm home environment. This property is unfenced. My dog Willow is a friendly, playful cattle dog mix who enjoys respectful dog companions. Dogs are supervised during interactions and introductions are done thoughtfully to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’m experienced with training and behavior awareness, comfortable administering basic care, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and boundaries. Our chickens are securely enclosed. I provide regular photo/video updates and maintain clear communication so you always feel confident while your pet is in my care.

“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!”
“Karestin was so great with my 2 labs! She spent much of the day with them, emailed me photos, wore them down with great exercise at the beach, and truly enjoyed their company! We are very thankful for her kind, compassionate, understanding ways. She has great dog sense and was very receptive to our dogs certain idiosyncrasies. They truly had a blast with her!”

About: We have both had dogs our entire lives and now have one pup of our own at home. We have been dog sitting for friends and on Rover for 7+ years and live an active lifestyle to keep all the dogs entertained and tired out.

Due to our hybrid schedule, we always arrange time at home accordingly for snuggles, treats, and walks/bathroom breaks. We live in a cozy 2-level condo with our own outdoor space as well as an upstairs balcony for the pups to lounge on. We are a 5 min walk to the beach and bring our own pup there almost daily. Our home is set up for dogs and we have extra beds, crates, bowls, and toys. We can feed at any designated times and provide lots of cuddles and walks throughout the day. We also have experience administering medication.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog walker based in Santa Barbara and Montecito. I truly enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, especially small and medium-sized pups.

I always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. During walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times and stay in safe, pet-friendly areas. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I avoid any unsafe situations or distractions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care directions. I make sure pets feel calm, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured.
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.
About: I've taken care of family and friend family pets growing up. My mom set up daycare for children and families would bring their pets often. (Watching my mommies growing up was my first experience and I now enjoying caring for others on my own leisure time) On my personal time, I've taken care of colleagues and friends family pets. My chihuahua will come with me on home visits otherwise I will require 1 hour break to go home to feed/walk my furbaby. I live by Bacara, I have the backyard that leads to Ellwood preserve. I do not use dog food to feed due to the high sodium, I cook meals using protein, veggies and Japanese potato. I'm happy to walk/care for family pets starting at 6am and latest walk at 6pm unless you are requesting overnight. Bed time is by 9pm or earlier. I have trim pets hair and given baths, this is complimentary for overnight stays even for 1 day. I have the materials and only cut hair by hand. I will keep majority of the hair 🙂 so you will not return surprised, your furbaby will look rejuvenated and polished 💖 I treat all furbaby as my own and cook extra portion for yours. I will walk the dogs together, 3 max at a time including my chihuahua. My chihuahua is allowed everywhere in my home so your furbaby is allowed to go anywhere except for kitchen when I'm cooking. Walks happen every 4 hours unless we are sleeping. I do not crate any furbaby so will not take you if this is something you request, I believe family pets should be included so will be in couch or bed. If they are in the floor every room has a fluffy bed. I do not have cat climbing build, only fuzzy beds! 🐾

About: I'm a lifelong animal owner and lover - large breeds and small or with fur, scales, hooves, or feathers. My live-in partner is a work from home professional and certified dog trainer and I'm the Hospital Manager of a local veterinary hospital. Together, we offer a uniquely loving, experienced, and structured environment for pets of any size or special needs. Pets in our care are spoiled with snuggles and lots of love, treats (when permitted by their owners) and rarely spend time out of our sight. Long walks and playtime with our cattle dog and chihuahua wear out most dogs in no time. Unless specifically requested by their owners, dogs in our care are never crated for extended periods or locked inside without access to a fenced patio. Schedule: I offer an open, flexible schedule for clients with pets of all kinds. My pups and I begin each day with a walk to the beach, then home for a quick bath, brush, and nap before more playtime in the afternoon. Having someone that works from home allows all the time in the world for our pups and our visiting guests to be pampered, offering customized care for their unique needs. I treat drop-in visits like I would my own home, bringing in packages and ensuring everyone is happy and healthy before departing. Pets in my care are given extensive mental enrichment and physical exercise, with photos sent each visit to pet parents to ease any concerns and keep you informed about what your beloved furry family member is up to each day.
About: I've walked, and taken care of my dog for eight years. What ive learned from taking care of my dog is learning how to take care of a dog with anxiety. 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. Every other day is free, and evenings are free as well on college days. I live in a neighborhood with a huge community shared front yard. Very dog friendly.

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.

“This was our first time using Rover & finding pet care for our dog! Deandra and her family were so lovely and kind and we felt so at ease leaving our pup with her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Danielle provided excellent care for our Lilly. We appreciated the pictures updating us on how Lilly was doing during her stay. Also, we appreciated Danielle's extra attention and care since Lilly did get a bit of an upset stomach during her stay. Lilly was in great spirits when we returned from our trip and no doubt it was because of Danielle's care for her.”
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 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.
“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!”

“Katherine & her husband were wonderful sitters. Before even confirming the booking, they took the time to drive up for a meet & greet, asking thoughtful questions about my pup’s routine, preferences, habits, etc. Katherine provided updates and photos multiple times a day, and was wonderful about accommodating pick up a few hours later than planned due to a flight delay. Would highly recommend Katherine & Sergio to other pet parents looking for a sitter. Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, young and old, and think the absolute world of these beautiful animals. I recently parted ways with my soul dog when he passed in March and have missed him every moment since. Despite this loss, I have not lost my love for dogs. Caring for your baby would be an absolute privilege and joy for me, and I promise to love and look out for them as my own. I work in home health healthcare but am typically available every morning before 10am and every afternoon after 4pm. My days can be flexible where I can check in periodically as well— I am happy to coordinate as needed. I’m also off every Wednesday and am available over overnight stays. I welcome dogs into the home as well and am always willing to take them out to the beach, on trails, and any adventures in general!
“Claudia did a wonderful, amazing job again caring for Luna for a long weekend. She sent me so many photos and updates and when I came to pick up Luna I could see how perfectly content she was in Claudia's home. Claudia and her husband gave Luna so much love and attention that she would have been happy to stay another week! It is truly a blessing to have such a caring, competent dog sitter!”
“Alexandrea was great, she was so helpful and reassuring to me and provided a safe and comfy stay for my kitty while I was gone for the week :-) will definitely rebook if I’m ever on vacation again!”
“Courtney was fabulous with my less than 1lb kitten! This is my first kitten this young, and I was terrified to leave her with anyone. She was abandoned before her eyes were open so I’ve been her mom, bottle feeding her every 2hrs and doing everything a kitten that small needs to survive When a long planned family event came up I had to find someone I would trust to care for my little girl. I honestly didn’t think it would be possible, but the second I met Courtney, I knew she would take as good of care of my baby as I would, and I was right! This was HUGELY terrifying for me, the thought of leaving my very tiny, very vulnerable kitten with a stranger, but after speaking with Courtney on the phone I felt like I’d found someone I could trust with my kitty. I highly recommend Courtney to care for your kitten and or cat. Her home is very kitty friendly and she was amazing with my kitten. I will absolutely be contacting her next time I need my kitten to be cared for.”
“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!”
“Candice did an excellent job watching our dog. She communicated well as far as the drop off time for our dog. And then during the stay, she would send us pictures and keep us informed on how our dog was doing at her home. I highly recommend Candice for future dog sitting opportunities.”
