“Lynn and Marty were fantastic sitters for my fur baby. I had been looking for a while for a good fit for my senior dog and ended up finding them a week before my trip. Lynn offered up a phone call so I could talk about the care and treatment I needed. I was so worried to leave my pup since she’d been having some health issues, but when it was time to drop her off, Lynn and Marty and their senior fur baby dog had the best vibes and wanted to make sure my pup was well taken care of. I could tell my pup felt right at home and loved exploring their nice yard. I got regular photos and updates on how she was doing and whether she’d eaten. When I picked her up, Lynn and Marty said they’d miss her and she looked relaxed and happy. I would definitely be a repeat customer and would recommend this gem of a place for pet care 🐾 💕”
“Cheryl was a fantastic dog sitter. She was easy to communicate with, her home was very dog friendly, and her fenced in yard was perfect for Frankie. Frankie came home happy and tired--she napped most of the day!”
“We are delighted with the excellent care Candice provided our dog Smousy for two weeks during our vacation to the East Coast. She gave us daily updates with photos that put our minds at ease. She took her for wonderful beach walks and hikes and gave our (slightly spoiled) dog much loving attention in her beautiful home. We enthusiastically recommend her services. Five Big Stars!”
“Amber was great and sent pictures of Moki’s adventures each day. Moki seemed happy when I picked her up and had even had a bath. I would definitely reach out again and would recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“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!”

She goes above and beyond; in the warm weather she visited an additional time just to make sure our cats weren’t too hot. We are comfortable traveling with the knowledge that our kitties are in good hands.”

I have experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, administering medications, and making sure cats feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. My goal is to keep your cat happy, stress-free, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home.
“Debrah is absolutely AMAZING!! She is so very kind and was so understanding with my last minute booking and trying to get everything together when I had a family emergency. She send me pictures of my cats at every feeding and my usually shy cats took to Debrah right away!! I will definitely be using her again and certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, kind, and responsible sitter! Thank you so much Debrah from me and my furry family members!”
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!

“I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am to have met Marty and Lynn. They were so accommodating and even flexible with some last-minute changes. My boy, Todd, was in absolute paradise in their lush backyard. They are so generous to open it up for daycare. I love seeing photos throughout the day of Todd’s relaxing day in their special care. We booked 2 dog sitting days, back to back and the second day when I dropped Todd off he was PULLING so excited to be back! I wish I lived closer and could have Todd see them all the time! They are fabulous dog people and I can’t wait for the next time we are in Santa Barbara.”
“Alejandra & Rodrigo did a wonderful job caring for Dobby. We received regular care summaries with pictures each day which put us at ease that each day went well. We could see that Dobby was in the loving care of warm and friendly caregivers. We would definitely work with Alejandro & Rodrigo again!”

“I was nervous to leave my dog alone with someone but Stacey was great! She communicated well and sent a picture of my dog, he was not with her for very long but she still was able to squeeze in a good walk that tired my energetic boy. He was in really good hands”
About: I've always loved animals. I have two dogs of my own. As a dog walker, I am careful and put safety first, as I do with my own dogs. I am detailed oriented so if you give me specific directions, I'm going to execute accordingly. I am patient and flexible and respond well to the unexpected. I am reliable and hold my word with the utmost integrity. I practice positive reinforcement when working with dogs. I believe in the importance of dog socialization and regular exercise and think that long walks are so important. While we all have jobs, I'm excited to help you relieve any anxiety and give your doggy the care and attention she/he needs. I look forward to sharing my love with your doggy companion! <3 I have two dogs (a large and a medium size dog) but am in Santa Barbara working toward a PhD so my doggies are at home in San Francisco with my partner. On the upside, I have very flexible schedule, lots of love and care to give to dogs, and lots of experience with working with dogs! My home is dog friendly. My first dog used to live in Santa Barbara with me but once we got our second dog, we decided to keep them in San Francisco, where they have more space. I am a PhD student, therefore my apartment's size is proportionate with my meager PhD income. But, I live right next to beach and trail access. I also have a car with dog friendly seatbelt to take dogs to farther parks and hikes. I have a love for all animals, and treat all animals with care and attention. This is the same attention I will give to your pet. I'm used to active dogs, dogs needing medical care or strict schedule, anxious dogs, and am always willing to learn on the job!
“Jacob and his wife are wonderful to work with. They cared for our Bella, and sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. This is our 2nd time working together and we highly recommend them!”
“Sholeh is very calm, attentive, and knows about dogs. My 10 month old golden retriever is timid at new places and still gets overstimulated on walks sometimes. Sholeh handled him patiently and positively. She also asked before offering the treats she prepared. She offered meet and greet before the sitting and really tried to know my dog. She read my dog’s profile and care instructions beforehand and remembered it. She always responded within a few minutes. She communicated well, she noticed any smallest discomfort in my dog, communicated with me and took great care of my dog. Overall, highly recommended.”
“They treated Marlo like family! She had many adventures and the best time, and was thoroughly worn out when we picked her up. Marlo seems very comfortable and happy there. Would entrust them with her care again!”
“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!”
“Miguel did a wonderful job taking care of our shy and anxious dog. He was very attentive to his needs and kept us updated throughout the day. Our pup Benji definitely warmed up to him and enjoyed his stay!”
“This was my first time using rover and leaving my dog for day sitting. Last minute our sitter couldn’t watch our dog, so we brought her with us on our trip to Santa Barbara. We wanted to explore, but did not want to leave her in a motel room, so we looked for a doggie daycare. Honey was responsive and took our dog in last minute. Even on a holiday weekend. I was nervous about my dog having anxiety, but Honey was very friendly and communicated throughout the day to keep me posted about my dog’s day. She is excellent with animals and has a kind nature that dogs can sense. My dog was comfortable and she even got her to eat! Which is something my dog does not do when she’s away from home. Thank you Honey for opening your home to our Roxy.”
“River had a wonderful stay with Jorrit and his family. They provided daily updates and pictures. We’ll definitely use him again next time we are headed out of town. Thank you!!”
“Amber was great! In the 12 hours my golden retriever was with her, they went on multiple walks and she was exhausted by the time we got home (that’s a good thing). They were even walking when I arrived to pick her up! Super sweet, lots of photos that we loved seeing. I highly recommend!”
“Wendy was amazing with Tobi. She’s gentle and seems to really care about the dogs she watches. Tobi loved hanging out with her all day. Would trust Wendy with any of my pets anytime!”
“Emily is awesome! She took care of my small dog so we could make a day visit to the zoo while passing through Santa Barbara. She is very friendly, flexible with our plans, and very responsive to our messages. My dog had a great time with her.”
“Bradley and Carolyn were fantastic sitters for Rocky. They kept him super active and entertained all three days of daycare, and Rocky came home very happy and tired each evening. Their location was super convenient for travelers staying or visiting in downtown Santa Barbara. Will definitely use again!”
About: Dogs have been in my life since I was born, and I’ve always treated them as a member of the family. I’ve had experience watching dogs 8 weeks-14 Years old, I also have experience with dogs who have dietary restrictions or special needs. I would love to watch your dog, take them on hikes, to the beach or whatever their heart desires! Any dog I will take care of will be treated as if they are my own. The last thing a dog owner wants to worry about when they are away is if their dog is okay, I can send daily updates to let you know how they are doing. I am an active person so I love watching high energy pups but I also love the couch potatoes and hanging out with them inside or playing with their favorite toys! I work from home so I am able to give your dog the attention and care they need throughout the day! Walk’s galore and play time all day :) I live in a spacious condo with lots of green areas around for walking and playing. I have a super friendly Chocolate Lab Riggins who is ready to be your dogs best friend!
“Jessica has been incredible. It is our first Rover experience and we truly appreciate how she has communicated with us throughout the day as we attended our son's wedding in Santa Barbara. We know Bella was well cared for! Thank you.”

“Nicole is the best! She has reliably showed up every day to walk my sweet girl while we’ve been on vacation for two weeks and wear her out so she could happily relax with my mom the rest of the day. She clearly loves animals, and my shy dog clearly loves her and is super excited to see her every day. Thanks for all the cute photos, and especially for the peace of mind knowing my girl is taken care of!”
“Cody is the best dog walker and sitter that I have found through Rover. He's very communicative, clear, and has a calm demeanor with animals. I have a malinois and Dutch Shepherd mixed breed, which can be intense and intimidating at times. Cody had no problem stepping in and walking my dog. I highly recommend Cody and we'll look him again when I have a need.”

“Ashley is very caring and helpful for my dog’s reoccurring walks during the work week. We were able to communicate easily regarding expectations, booking walks, and detailed updates so I knew my dog was being a good boy. She took care of following care instructions and following up with any concerns. Puff was very happy when I got back from work. Will book with Ashley again!”
“Cheryl was great with coco, we did and meet and greet before our date walk and that helped a lot since I hadn’t had that with anyone else, it sure made me happy to know the person before. Cheryl is very caring and made sure that coco had enough food and water before she left. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I've volunteered at the Santa Barbra County Animal Shelter for the last 2 years and worked at The little Dog House as an assistant for 2 years, I've also helped look after my neighbors cats and dog for over a year now. I'm currently attending college part time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your precious little friend. I am looking forward to helping you care for your furry friend! I have a fenced yard and a Labradoodle of my own to help your furry friend feel right at home. There is plenty of walking areas around to get fresh air.
“Aimee is awesome. My dog, Tico, loved her. She is very friendly, reliable, consistent, mature, punctual and a good communicator. She walked Tico for me each day for almost 3 weeks due to foot surgery. I would trust Aimee to take care of my dog if I needed to travel, too.”
About: I can't remember a time without a furry friend by my side. I literally came home from the hospital to a wagging tail—my family's dog was my first welcome committee, and that set the tone for my entire life. Over the years, I've been lucky enough to share my home with cats, and have owned two amazing dogs who kept me on my toes and filled every day with joy. Each pet has taught me something new about patience, unconditional love, and the unique personality that makes every animal special. My love for animals extends beyond my own four-legged family. I'm a proud supporter of the Santa Barbara Humane Society because I believe every animal deserves a loving home and compassionate care. Giving back to the animal community is something I'm deeply committed to. When you trust me with your pet, you're not just hiring someone who loves animals—you're connecting with someone who understands that pets are family. I treat every dog, cat, or critter in my care with the same love and attention I would give my own, because that's what they deserve. As someone who's self-employed, I have the flexibility to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I recently said goodbye to my beloved companion, and while I'm not quite ready to welcome a new furry friend into my own home yet, caring for other people's pets has been incredibly meaningful. It keeps me connected to what I love most while giving me the chance to shower someone else's best friend with all the love and care they need. I live in a cozy casita with a secure, fenced patio area—perfect for outdoor playtime and fresh air. Since I work from home, I'm around throughout the day, which means your pet gets plenty of companionship and supervision. I'm also an active person who loves getting out, so regular walks to the park, beach, or around downtown are part of my routine. Your furry friend will get both the comfort of a home environment and the adventure of exploring Santa Barbara's best spots.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Having grown up around various breeds, ages, and sizes, I’ve gained the skills to care for everyone from high-energy puppies to gentle seniors. I have experience with at-home training and have been dog sitting and walking professionally for 9 years. As an attentive observer, I pay close attention to each dog's unique personality to ensure they have exactly what they need. Whether your pup thrives on long outdoor adventures or prefers quality downtime and belly rubs at home, I’d love to give them the dedicated care they deserve! I work during the day Monday through Friday, but I have plenty of flexibility to make pet care a priority. Since I only work a half-day on Fridays and can come home during my lunch hour to check in on everyone, your pets won't be alone for long stretches. My schedule is very consistent, so I can offer reliable walks and plenty of quality playtime. Whether it’s a midday visit or long-term pet sitting, I structure my day to ensure your pets get the exercise and attention they’re used to. I’m also a very quick communicator, so you can expect regular updates and photos during our time together! Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Coming from a healthcare background, I am a very attentive observer by nature. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific routine and am highly comfortable following precise dietary needs or medical instructions. Whether I am caring for your companion in my home or yours, I maintain a secure, calm, and supervised environment. I’m very comfortable managing different temperaments from energetic pups who need a watchful eye to shy cats who need their space respected. You can trust that I will treat your pets with the same level of care, detail, and responsibility that I give my own!
“My dog Olive LOVES Aubrie! For a rescue who was scared of everything and everyone for the first year of her life with me, Olive now recognizes Aubrie even from a distance and can’t wait to wiggle her way over to say hello and get pets. When Aubrie and I walk her together, Aubrie is great with Olive and I can just tell she’s a not only a dog person, but a warm, caring, and wonderful human in general. Also, Aubrie has come over to check on Olive while my husband and I were gone during long workdays. She was flexible and great at communicating including sending photo updates and a text that Olive had pooped in the usual spot during their walk - yay! I'm confident in Aubrie and appreciative that she is so helpful with my anxious Olive. It's very telling that Olive (and other dogs too!) feels so comfortable around her. I highlyyyyy highly recommend Aubrie!”
“Neyda was wonderful with my dog Oreo. He took to her right away, and I will continue to use her for walks and to take care of him. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
About: Hi, my name is Basilia, I also go by Juno. I have grown up around dogs all my life. I have experience house/dog sitting for my friends and neighbors in high-school, and even more experience taking care of my families big dogs. Further, I have some experience taking care of senior dogs, as my late Akita spent nearly 5 years on intensive medication. I love playing with dogs, taking them on walks, going to the dog park, and making life good in the safety of their own homes. I’m a student at Santa Barbara City College, but my flexible schedule allows me to spend plenty of time with your animals! I have at least 2-4 hours a day available to spend playing with, walking, or otherwise taking care of your babies. I prioritize pet safety in my care. I listen carefully to your rules about where the animal is/isn’t allowed to go, and can provide intensive support for your animals. I make sure to spend time building trust with the animal using treats or soothing methods upon meeting them, so that they feel safe and comfortable around me.
About: I am on Rover to be able to serve my community in the form of pet-care! Pets are such an integral and special part of our lives and owners deserve to know their pets will be well taken care of. I grew up with cats but I love dogs equally. I would be honored to love on your little family member when you need! I am typically available early in the morning before work and then after 4pm, depending on the day. Somewhat flexible schedule pertaining to days needed. I am mindful to read all instructions left by owners. Depending on desires of the owner, I am happy to walk, play with, or just keep your little baby company!
“Shaine arrived early and was waiting at our meeting location. She took my dogs to the beach and they had a great time. If you need a reliable pet sitter, I highly recommend Shaine L.”

“Honey took such great care of our 2 Australian Shepherds. She was responsive, proactive with asking the right questions, and sent plenty of videos/ photos which we really appreciated. Honey particularly went above and beyond by showing us new commands that she had taught the dogs while we were gone. Our pups came home both exhausted (in a good way), behaved, and well satisfied. Lastly, we were especially appreciative when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and Honey agreed to continue watching the dogs for an extra 4 days even when she has personal plans of her own. Thank you so much, Honey!”
