“Lynn and Marty did a great job with Milo :) I had a last minute trip to Santa Barbara and they were very accommodating. I received consistent updates and photos throughout the day and Milo had a great time playing in their backyard. Will definitely book again!”
“Danielle is one of those rare people who immediately puts both dogs and their humans at ease. She took exceptional care of my rescue French Bulldog, Giani, who struggles with separation anxiety and can require a bit of extra patience and understanding. Danielle went above and beyond, even adjusting her schedule to accommodate his needs. Her calm demeanor, confidence, and extensive experience with dogs, including those with special needs, were evident from the start. Throughout Giani’s stay, I felt completely reassured that he was in caring and capable hands. I am deeply grateful for the care she provided and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a truly outstanding dog sitter.”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of family dogs over the years in addition to dog sitting for others in the community. I love to spend time and take care of pets. I currently have a flexible schedule. I am a substitute teacher and the school year is coming to an end! I have time in my day to take care of, walk, or feed your pets! I have a fenced in patio in a town house. I also live near some great paths, parks, and beaches for walking. I do not have any animals living with me.
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!
“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.”
“Wendy is really great with dogs! You can tell right away that she is such an animal lover and is the kindest person. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog again. Thank you, Wendy!”
About: Hello, my name is Sandy and I am looking forward to taking care of your furry friend. Like most other animal lovers, I’ve had dogs of all kinds and pets all my life. I have patience, problem solving skills and the ability to cope with challenges under pressure. Also a deep love and appreciation of mother nature and animals. I am semi retired but still enjoy working and set my own schedule so I am available weekdays and weekends. Your pet will be well looked after. I love to go to the beach and will look forward to taking your furry friend with me. Shoreline Park is another favorite daily walk activity and just minutes away. My condo has a small fenced yard and a comfortable home for your doggie’s vacation. I live on the mesa in the Highlands with lots of easy walking just outside the front door and in the Honda Preserve so your pet will have plenty of short walks. I have been a dog owner all my life but when my last dog Nates, the absolute best dog in the world my children and I rescued from the animal shelter, left the planet for dog heaven, I couldn’t bring myself to get another and my children were all grown so I very much enjoy taking care of other’s pets.
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.
“Jeanine did a great job with our two pups who can be a lot to handle. She was able to calm down our Lab when we got nervous about us leaving by showing him attention and playing ball with him. We will be using Jeanine again!”
“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!”
“Ashly Did a great job with my 2 pups. One is a senior and Ashly handled all her pills and special diet requests with ease. Ashly was always prompt in her response and communications. I loved the photos and little updates. It was much appreciated. Drop off and pick up was smooth as well! I would definitely use Ashly again!”
“Honey took great care of our St Bernard, Sadie. She was just the right amount of communicative, and we couldn’t have been more appreciative as it was a last minute booking. Honey was also very accommodating to our schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Malachi had a great weekend staying with Stacey! It was super easy to book with Stacey and she was very accommodating. I just moved back into the area and she saved me by watching my pup on short notice. She let us come for a meet and greet to ensure my pup would feel comfortable and would get along with the other pups. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and I loved receiving the photos of my pup during his stay! I will definitely use Stacey’s services again and highly recommend!!”
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.
“Stephanie did a great job with my dog Brando! She sent pictures and updates through out the day and he came home a very happy puppy! She was also very easy to communicate with and took him in same day when I was really in a pinch. I definitely recommend her for dog sitting she took very good care of my fur baby”
“Damian was a wonderful friend to George ! I would definitely recommend him if you need someone to take care of your pet. We haven’t left George with many new people and our dog seemed very happy and relaxed in Damian’s care. George had a few special needs and Damian had no problem making sure they were met. He also made it a point to take him out everyday to one of his favorite nature walks (the Douglas Preserve) where he could interact with other dogs, which George loves. Damian has a dog of his own so you can tell he has a love and intuitive understanding for our furry friends. He went above and beyond in care for our dog George! Thanks Damian.”
“My dog was very relaxed and happy with Maria. My dog's not snuggly but he snuggled up with Maria. Maria sent me photo updates of my dogs every day. She also monitored my dog's potty situation and offered to prepare and feed rice and pumpkin when my dog had diarrhea. She took my last minute boarding request and was very kind and responsive throughout.”

“Our kitties absolutely love him!! We always look forward to the adorable pictures he sends each day with his updates. We appreciate his attentiveness and care for our kitties 🐱 🙂”
“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!”
“She is an excellent sitter for our two cats. This was our second time and we will happily hire her again in future. 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.”
“Cheryl is truly an excellent sitter. She is professional and cared for our cat as though he were her own. Her three daily visits were at our agreed upon time, accompanied by photos sent to us of our pet, his food and cleaned litter box. Very reassuring to us. She went above and beyond with a minor breakage which occurred in her absence (due to an oversight on our part, not hers), and in spending extra time playing with our kitty. We will certainly have Cheryl back in our future absences - she is the best!”
About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs and cats. I even had a pet bunny and bird. I have years of healthcare experience and I will prioritize your pet’s safety over everything! I currently work full-time as a medical assistant. I am only available during the evenings after 5pm during the weekdays. I am available all day on weekends. I will prioritize your pet’s safety! As a healthcare professional it is really important to me that pets can safely have their daily needs met.
“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!!”
“Mike did a great job at watching Dante! He followed all the instructions I gave him and I was able to leave for the weekend with no worries. I'm glad to know I'll have a reliable sitter in the future”
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 have proudly cared for my own dog for the past 9 years as well as my family and friend’s dogs as well, giving me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, companionship, and overall pet care. I am a beginner to Rover, however I genuinely love animals and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe, caring environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine, as I have cared for my own dog for the past 9 years. I work full time during the week, but I am available after 6PM on weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate more time to longer walks, playtime, and personalized care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I ensure they have fresh water, are fed according to instructions, receive plenty of attention, exercise, and bathroom breaks, and are always kept safe. I also provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own dog.
About: I grew up on a homestead with lots of indoor and outdoor barn cats. I have fostered newborn kittens, provided adequate medical care towards my injured kitties, and most importantly mastered keeping cats as happy as can be!
About: My name is Emily and I am a nurse living in Santa Barbara. I grew up with dogs and cats and have 10+ experience with caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and breeds. Additionally, I have experience with senior care, animals with special needs, puppy/kitten care, and administering medications. I'm currently working part-time so I would be able to spend lots of time playing and spending time with your pet. I am available for house/pet sitting in your home and have the flexibility to work my schedule around what works best for you. I know some animals can be wary of strangers and new routines. I am very patient and take the time to build a relationship with your pet so they can feel as comfortable and safe as possible.
About: I understand that your fur babies are your best friends, and they deserve the very best care while you’re away I grew up with 2 cats and volunteered at my local cat shelter for several years. I enjoy working with kitties all breeds and sizes.
About: My love for cats has grown immensely over the past few years. As a child, we didn’t have cats because my father was allergic, so I grew up with dogs. The day I got my first cat was truly one of the best days of my life. Her name is Millie, and I love her endlessly. I bring that same level of love, attention to detail, and reliability to every cat I care for. You can trust that your fur baby will be treated with the same care and affection as my own.
“Ashley did a wonderful job caring for my 2 cats while I was away! One of my cats is shy and requires daily medication, and she handled both without any issues. She kept up with feeding, cleaned the litter box, and was very communicative — sending daily pictures and updates that gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Ashley as a pet sitter!”
“What a relief we found someone like Anny! We booked her for 10 days to stay at our house and watch over our two cats. Anny was PERFECT. She sent us pictures of our two furballs all the time and was in constant communication with what they were up to. Honestly, she was a God send. We were nervous in the beginning since we have never used Rover before and we were booking for such a long time, but it’s clear now how lucky we are to have met someone so trustworthy and responsible like Anny. She played with our cats, separated them when they fought, combed their fur, even cleaned their faces! We came home from our trip to a spotless house and even more important, two perfectly happy and healthy cats. We would never hesitate to recommend Anny to anyone.”

“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.”
“Honey looked after our poodle Henni for the afternoon through evening and took great care of her. She was very professional, taking time to really learn about Henni and her habits, schedule, and temperament before we left. We really appreciate her help!”
“Damian did a great job watching over our two little ones! He provided plenty of updates during their stay and we felt like we could relax while they were in his care. Bella and Duncan came back tired out which is exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend Damian if you are looking for a playdate for your pup! Looking forward to using him again 🙂”
“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!”
“Gio, our 4 month old puppy, had a great day with Ryan! Such a wonderful 1st experience being in this environment away from home. We will be back! Thank you Ryan! We appreciated you caring for Gio so well today.”
About: We have taken care of puppies to adult dogs, kittens to adult cats. From Siberian husky's, to Labradoodles to Yorkie, to Maltese-Shitzu's and more! We are a caring, loving team who enjoys spending time with pets and taking them on walking adventures. We have the flexibility to take care of your pets, from boarding to walking, to drop in and feeding at different intervals. We have over 30 years of experience! Our yard is fenced on the side but backs up to the creek that is open. We can keep your pet inside and watch him in the backyard or take them for walks. We can also visit your pets and take care of them at your location.
About: I work from home, so your dog is never alone for long. My fenced yard means safe outdoor play every day, and regular photo updates mean you'll actually be able to relax on your trip. I have a special needs dog of my own, so I have a particular soft spot for dogs that need a little extra care, but I'm equally comfortable with puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and medication administration. I know exactly how much trust you're placing in me, and I don't take that lightly. Your dog gets a real home, real attention, and a lot of love. I work from home full time, which means your dog has company throughout the day rather than waiting for someone to come home. Walks, yard time, and cuddles fit naturally into my routine, I'm not squeezing pet care around a commute or office hours. Gladly have your pet a part of my day. My home is fully fenced, so outdoor time is always safe and supervised. Inside, dogs are welcome wherever they're most comfortable.. on the sofa, in the bedroom, wherever helps them settle in. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including crating if that's part of their dog's routine. I'll always ask about your dog's habits, triggers, and preferences before your stay so there are no surprises for either of us.
“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!”
“Monica was great! She was available and responsive on super short notice and was very flexible when we needed to push our drop off time back. And most importantly of all, she took great care of our pups and made sure to send us several photo-filled updates over the course of the afternoon. Definitely would book with Monica again!”
“McKensay was amazing with Phoenix! She shared pictures and updates throughout the day and exercised her multiple times - Phoenix didn’t want to leave! I would 10/10 recommend McKensay for doggy daycare”
“Nancy was fantastic. She loves dogs and her place is safe and secure. She kept me updated with pictures and I was very comfortable leaving my precious Bucky with her. I highly recommend Nancy 😁”
About: I watch Chomsky every day and he’s my boy. I cared for Bella, a Border Collie during grad school for three years. Loved her too. I am an artist doing a self-guided residency in Santa Barbara. I care for Chomsky, a cute Shi Tzu mix. He is the most chill. I can watch your doggie or kitty while working from home. We will also go for walks and play/ throw ball if they want to.

“I knew when I met Cheryl she was a perfect match to care for Molly. Cheryl is highly responsible, conscientious and loves pets. I hate leaving Molly, but felt confident doing so knowing Cheryl could manage my highly active Border Collie.”
About: I’m reliable and trustworthy, with experience caring for a variety of pets, from small dogs to active 1-year-old labs, as well as cats and chickens. I’ve watched multiple pets at the same time and can handle different needs, including giving medication or keeping up with high-energy animals. I’ve been watching pets since high school and grew up around dogs and cats, so being around animals comes naturally. I’m responsible, patient, and caring, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a full-time working professional with a very flexible schedule that will allow me to drop in during the day or work from home if an all day shift is needed. Depending on my schedule I may be available for short notice requests and I don’t mind same day cancellation as long as there is no travel involved. I try to treat pets like family, giving them attention, patience, and care so they feel safe and comfortable. Every animal is different, so I adjust to their personality. Whether that is lots of playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space when they need it. Animals are very intuitive, and I’ve found that bringing calm, loving energy helps them open up and feel at ease. I always pay attention to their body language to make sure they’re happy and well cared for.

“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.”
“Thankful for Benjamin and fitting us into his schedule for a last-minute dog-walking booking. He took great care of our dog and was easy to communicate with. Our dog got into the creek on one of his walks with Benjamin, and Benjamin did such a good job cleaning up our dog after his dip. We will book again when needed.”
“Nick and Julie have been wonderful walkers for my dog! They responded quickly when I first reached out and were available to do a meet and greet quickly which I appreciated. They have been attentive to my dog’s needs and he seems very happy in their care. Love having them as my dog walkers!”

“James was great for Apache. He was on time, communicated throughout and sent me lots of photos which I appreciated very much. James even went out of his way to take Apache for a few car rides (with my permission of course) for different walk destinations. Overall James has been amazing! I will definitely get James to walk Apache again and recommend him to anyone.”

About: Hello, my name is Sandy and I am looking forward to taking care of your furry friend. Like most other animal lovers, I’ve had dogs of all kinds and pets all my life. I have patience, problem solving skills and the ability to cope with challenges under pressure. Also a deep love and appreciation of mother nature and animals. I am semi retired but still enjoy working and set my own schedule so I am available weekdays and weekends. Your pet will be well looked after. I love to go to the beach and will look forward to taking your furry friend with me. Shoreline Park is another favorite daily walk activity and just minutes away. My condo has a small fenced yard and a comfortable home for your doggie’s vacation. I live on the mesa in the Highlands with lots of easy walking just outside the front door and in the Honda Preserve so your pet will have plenty of short walks. I have been a dog owner all my life but when my last dog Nates, the absolute best dog in the world my children and I rescued from the animal shelter, left the planet for dog heaven, I couldn’t bring myself to get another and my children were all grown so I very much enjoy taking care of other’s pets.
“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!”
“Ashly Did a great job with my 2 pups. One is a senior and Ashly handled all her pills and special diet requests with ease. Ashly was always prompt in her response and communications. I loved the photos and little updates. It was much appreciated. Drop off and pick up was smooth as well! I would definitely use Ashly again!”
“Honey took great care of our St Bernard, Sadie. She was just the right amount of communicative, and we couldn’t have been more appreciative as it was a last minute booking. Honey was also very accommodating to our schedule. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Damian was a wonderful friend to George ! I would definitely recommend him if you need someone to take care of your pet. We haven’t left George with many new people and our dog seemed very happy and relaxed in Damian’s care. George had a few special needs and Damian had no problem making sure they were met. He also made it a point to take him out everyday to one of his favorite nature walks (the Douglas Preserve) where he could interact with other dogs, which George loves. Damian has a dog of his own so you can tell he has a love and intuitive understanding for our furry friends. He went above and beyond in care for our dog George! Thanks Damian.”
“My dog was very relaxed and happy with Maria. My dog's not snuggly but he snuggled up with Maria. Maria sent me photo updates of my dogs every day. She also monitored my dog's potty situation and offered to prepare and feed rice and pumpkin when my dog had diarrhea. She took my last minute boarding request and was very kind and responsive throughout.”
“Lianne was amazing! I was able to leave my fur baby with her without having to worry about anything. She’s super sweet and reassuring, definitely a true dog person you can trust!”
“Ryan is loveable and the ultimate animal person. His house is completely animal friendly and he makes sure I don't have to worry about my dog. Ryan takes everything in stride and also just a great human being. House is secure and good parking for drop off and pick up. Everything was returned organized. Only thing is now my dog is spoiled...or more spoiled hahaha”
“Jacob was fantastic! I read all the positive reviews before booking, and they are completely accurate. He was highly responsive and professional in setting up the stay, and his house is perfectly set up for dogs. Communication was great, and it was obvious my pup got plenty of walks and exercise. His own dog, Mango, is very sweet. All around a fantastic experience—highly recommend!”
“This is the first time we had Candace take care of our dog Maicy. Candace was very attentive and provided regular updates that kept our hearts at ease while we were gone. We will definitely work with Candace for all our pet care needs!! Awesome!”
