“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!”
“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!”
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!
“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!”
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!

“Jeanine was wonderful. Very friendly, great with our dog and and great with us.

We have already booked a second stay. Thanks Jeanine!”

“Debra is amazing! Not only were we able to enjoy our holiday knowing that our fur baby was happy and being cared for, but we came back to a house that was even cleaner than we left it. Debra went above and beyond, even leaving us some food covers for us to better store half-eaten cans in the fridge. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We hope to have Debra back again soon!”
About: I have owned two large dogs before a German Shepard, and a lab Shepard mix . I also understand that some dogs are energetic and need more exercise so I am patient with those doggos too! I am also attentive to their health and body language and I will communicate with you whether I notice anything concerning. I work full time from 8-5pm Mon-Friday. I am available early mornings before 7am or after 5pm on the weekdays and any time on the weekends. I cannot board dogs or cats however I am more than happy to watch them in their home! I will also be attentive to specific care instructions for your pets.
“Cheryl is a wonderful sitter! She took care of my Mimi so well. She is very professional, attentive, friendly and nice; had a really good connection with my cat. Communication was awesome. I felt secure and comfortable knowing that she was great. Highly Recommended her service.”
About: I’m a proud “dog uncle” to dozens of pups. With experience in raising and co-owning dogs, I treat every dog with love, patience, and fun. My schedule is currently very flexible for virtually any day (other than when I’m out of town of course). Happy to discuss what you’re looking for and accommodating all I can. I have a cat so I’m not able to take pets to my home since it’s also the kitty’s home and I don’t want to put her out. That being said, I’ve taken care of many pets at others people’s houses and I’m available to walk dogs while also providing some training if desired.
“Leo was fantastic with Reggie. We heard from Leo regularly with text check-ins and photos and never doubted our little guy was in good hands. By the time we were back from our vacation, the two of them were essentially best buds. Would definitely work with Leo again!”
“Kathleen was super easy to communicate with and responsive. She jumped in to help us on very short notice when other cat care plans fell through. We felt comfortable knowing she had everything taken care of, and her daily check-ins were welcome reassurance that all was well while we were away.”
“Nicole was great and super communicative. I could tell my kitties were well cared for and I loved getting her pictures each visit. Thank you Nicole for loving on Franklin and Scout for us!”
About: Hi, I’m Lana (short for Svetlana). I’ve always had a deep love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, including senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand every pet is different and adjust my care to fit their needs—whether that means a slower, gentler pace for senior dogs, active playtime for puppies, or simply keeping them comfortable and relaxed. I’ve also had the unique experience of walking dogs down the aisle at weddings and caring for them throughout the event, so couples can fully enjoy their special day. I stay calm, reliable, and confident in both everyday care and high-energy, special moments. It’s important to me that every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them the attention they deserve. I work full-time during the week with two days from home, but on the weekends, my schedule is completely open and I can ensure potty breaks every 1-2 hours. Just let me know what your dog’s needs are :) We sure can work it out. I will always make sure to never leave your dog unattended. Your dog deserves attention and safety is very important to all of us. I will care for your dog as if it’s my own.
“We had a family emergency and had to travel to the east coast after adopting our new puppy. Chelsi checked in on her, played with her and made sure she felt comfortable before leaving. Chelsi was super responsive, sent photos and always made sure to check in. We appreciated her care so much and will def book her again if given the opportunity. Thank you!!”
About: I have had many cats to include 19 at one time, which were all spayed and neutered and I vaccinated them myself, so comfortable with injections. I understand them well, and love them.
“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!”
“Mary was excellent- she spent extra time with our dog, was on time, and communicated with us each day she watched our dog. We received updates and photos of each session. She was easy to communicate with and reliable. I would highly recommend Mary for pet sitting.”
About: I have experience volunteering and animal shelters, dog sitting for friends and family, and I fostered a dog while I was in college! I love all animals and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I am in graduate school at USC for Occupational Therapy with a flexible schedule and free availability friday-sunday! Multiple visits to the house each day and available for overnight pet sitting as well! I follow owners’ instructions carefully and prioritize each pet’s routine, comfort, and safety.

“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!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I grew up with dogs, love taking care of them and love to walk for hours! I am offering this service until I get a dog of my own :) I work from home with flexibility in my schedule. I love to get out for breaks during the day and live close to a dog park. I have a gated outdoor space and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I also cover up my furniture so that the dogs can go on the couch.
“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”
“Tracy is wonderful! My dog, Murphy, is always so excited when he sees that we are at her place. He clearly feels very comfortable with Tracy. I'm so happy to have found someone my dog adores so much.”
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 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.”
“Nicole and Ethan were great communicators throughout our stay and so very caring! Our pup had a great time with them and their dog, and we enjoyed our vacation knowing she was in good hands.”

“A picture is worth a thousand words. Bowie doesn’t smile with strangers. That’s how we know he was in good hands. He even sat for a full on picture something he doesn’t like. Hilary and Bowie are friends.”
“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!”
About: I have been working with animals professionally since I was 12 years old. From dogs, cats, and horses to cattle, sheep, and everything in between. I am currently working with pets on the days when I am not working my other part-time job. I primarily walk and exercise dogs between the hours of 9-5 M-F with some weekend availability. I will care for your animals as if they are my own, in whatever way you require. My own dog (Holly the Dalmatian) is even available if your dog needs some companionship. Trust, respect, and love is at the foundation of my connection with animals. My goal is for your animal to have the best time while safely remaining in my care.

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 had dogs and cats all my life and I'm very sensitive and attuned to their needs. I love walking dogs, throwing balls/frisbees as well as cuddling on the couch. I can play with cats for hours and love scratching them behind the ears until they purr. I offer short or long walks or if you have a more active pet, hikes on the SB trails or visits to the Douglas Family Preserve. For housesitting, I can guarantee your pet will be given lots of love and attention and that their routines will be honored. I teach part-time at SB City College but have a flexible schedule. I look forward to meeting your fur-baby! I am currently teaching part-time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have availability on MWF and most weekends. I can walk dogs in the mornings or afternoons on any of these days. I can housesit every night but cannot stay during the day on T/TH. I care for pets at client's homes. I am an early riser and I tend to your pet's needs first thing in the morning. I take dogs on potty walks right away but can also take them on longer walks as well. I am very clean and always follow directions exactly (I'm a teacher :). You can expect to come home to a clean house and a happy pet!
About: I have always had pets of my own, and began caring for other peoples' pets while I was in high school. I have taken care of all kinds of animals with a variety of needs. I strive to go above & beyond what is expected while caring for your beloved companions. My goal is to make them as comfortable and happy as possible when their people are away. When I commit to do something, I do it throughly & full heartedly. I am lucky to have a flexible schedule, which enables me to provide care for pets at just about any time needed. Caring for my own pets is integrated into my daily schedule so integrating additional pets comes very naturally. I'm happy to travel to the location your pet feels most comfortable, as well as providing pet taxi/transport. I do have a small fenced backyard, but I prefer not to board pets overnight in my own home. I am experienced and happy to pet/house sit during your work trip or vacation. I’m very neat and can ensure you'll return to a clean home.

About: 40+ verified house sits completed on TrustedHousesitters. I can also provide screenshots of reviews upon request. “5-star client satisfaction (Trusted Housesitters) Multi-pet household experience up to 5 dogs + 4 cats Long-term in-home care up to 1 month Overseas housesitting/petsitting experience I have completed approximately 40 house and pet sitting assignments over the past two years, ranging from short-term stays to extended, multi-week care. My experience includes managing households with multiple animals, including up to five dogs and four cats simultaneously, as well as mixed households requiring coordinated feeding, walking, and individualized care routines. I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and cats, including administering structured routines, monitoring mobility and comfort, and adapting care to age-related needs to ensure safety and stability. I have provided continuous in-home care for stays of up to one month, ensuring both reliable household security and consistent, attentive pet care. Responsibilities have included structured daily walks, feeding schedules, basic care routines, and maintaining the home in orderly condition. Across these sits, I have maintained a 99% five-star rating, reflecting a consistent record of reliability, professionalism, and high-quality care. I am experienced in managing complex, multi-pet environments with attention to detail, safety, and respect for each household’s specific instructions. House and pet sitting is my full-time profession and core area of expertise. I specialize in providing reliable in-home care for pets and household management during client travel, including extended stays of up to one month. My experience includes managing multi-pet households, supporting senior animals, and maintaining stable routines for pets with varying temperaments. This work is my primary occupation, and I bring a consistent, structured approach to every assignment. Option 3 (more personal but still professional) House and pet sitting is my full-time work and what I dedicate myself to professionally. I care for pets and homes while clients are away, with experience across a wide range of animals, including multi-pet households and senior care needs. This role allows me to provide consistent, attentive care and maintain stable routines in the home environment, which is my primary professional focus. I care for pets in the client’s home by following their established routines and instructions closely to maintain consistency and reduce stress for the animals. Before each sit, I consult with the owner to understand each pet’s specific needs, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medical requirements, behavioral considerations, and any household preferences. I prioritize keeping pets in their familiar environment with minimal disruption, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. During care, I provide structured daily routines that may include feeding, fresh water, exercise or walks, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, and regular check-ins to monitor behavior and wellbeing. I also adjust my approach based on each pet’s temperament, whether they are social, shy, anxious, or require more attentive support, including senior care considerations. In addition to pet care, I maintain the household as requested, which may include basic home upkeep, security awareness, bringing in mail, and ensuring the home remains clean and orderly. My approach is consistent, detail-oriented, and focused on reliability, communication with the owner, and the overall wellbeing of the pets in my care.

“It’s was my first time booking with Anny. I am very impressed by how professional, knowledgeable and responsible she is! She spent a good amount of time understanding my dog and cat during the meet and greet to ensure she had a good understanding of both. I am glad to have Anny take care of my boys I had to be home late. Highly recommended!”
“James was great for Apache. He was on time, communicated throughout and sent me lots of photos which I appreciated very much.

I will definitely get James to walk Apache again and recommend him to anyone.”
About: I’ve been an owner and caretaker of dogs for my entire life. I’m active, thoughtful and responsible in everything I do. Work with me and you’ll never worry about the quality of your dogs care again. My full time job is an entrepreneurial one. As far as work goes I am flexible and able to come and go as I please. I won’t take offers if I’m not able to be present with your pet. I’ve worked with a variety of dogs. Those that are calm, aggressive, nervous etc. Throughout my years of care i’ve adopted different strategies for different dogs and I’ve proven desirable outcomes. I won’t do anything myself or the owner would not be comfortable with and I follow instructions and preferences diligently. If I assume care in your home I always respect the dog and space as if it was my own. A high standard at that.
“Bekah has been so great for our family! Raven, our very energetic lab puppy needs lots of attention and exercise. Bekah comes super prepared for each walk and even cleans her off before bringing her back home, if Raven gets into a mud puddle ect. She is very loving to Raven and does a great job with her. I would highly recommend Bekah for any pet sitting or walking needs.”

“Sandy and her husband were so sweet with our dog who had an injury right before our vacation.

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!
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Courtney did a great job taking care of our pug. She shared frequent pics of our dog on walks and playing in the house. We know our dog had a great mini vacation while we did ourselves!”
“We couldn't be happier with Jacob’s care for our dog, Yogi! He was amazing from start to finish—super communicative, consistently checked in with updates and adorable photos, and made sure Yogi stayed active and well-loved. Yogi came back happy, tired, and clearly had a great time. It's such a relief to know our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”
“Annabel was awesome with my dog! She got him out multiple times per day and kept in close contact with me sending me pictures of their adventures. I highly recommend her!”
“We felt so happy and comfortable leaving Stanley with Joritt and his family! Their large fenced yard is perfect for dogs and their home was so dog-friendly too. We appreciated the extra effort it took to take photos and send them to us! Stanley came home a tired and happy dog just like we hoped.”
“Honey took fantastic care of our pups. She took time to win the trust of our anxious mastiff/GSD mix and continued to teach our 6mo puppy his manners. From our first conversation, it was evident that she had an excellent understanding of dog behavior and we appreciated that she asked us to write up a document outlining the cues our dogs understood and what we were trying to teach them, so that she could continue their training. The pups had an excellent time and were obviously at ease. We've already rebooked :-)”
“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 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.
