House Sitting Vandenberg Air Force Base

About: Hi my name is Colleen! I have been around and loved animals my whole life. I offer full-time care and live on Vandenberg SFB. For the past three years, I managed a veterinary practice. Because of this background, I am very familiar with the diverse medical and behavioral needs of dogs, cats, and horses. I am a huge dog and cat lover - at home, I have a German Shepherd and a Goldendoodle who get daily walks and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home full-time, any animal in my care will receive constant attention and supervision. I am also a very active person, so you can count on your pets getting plenty of playtime and exercise. My home is completely child-free, and visiting pets are absolutely allowed on the furniture to make them feel right at home. Additionally, I live on the military base, making it easy and convenient for me to accommodate both on-base and off-base families. Whether your pet needs high-energy play or have specialized medical needs, they will be safe, active, and loved here! Animal care is a central part of my life! I work a flexible remote schedule that allows me to be fully available for full-time care. My weekends are available and open, meaning I can dedicate plenty of quality time, structured play, and consistent attention to boarding or housesitting your pets, no matter the day of the week 🐾❤️ With a professional background in veterinary medicine and animal handling, safety is always my top priority ❤️ My home features a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play. I’m highly experienced in reading animal behavior, maintaining clean and secure environments, administering medications if needed, and keeping a watchful eye to ensure your pet is happy and relaxed.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or plenty of attention. I’ll make sure your pet gets personalized care and comfort.

About: Hi, I’m Laney! I’m a pet-lover and experienced animal welfare professional working in animal shelter management. For the last four years, I have worked with dogs, cats, and small animals of all sizes, personalities, and stages in life. I also have experience navigating a wide range of behaviors and medical needs. Every pet is an individual and I tailor the care I provide according to the pet’s needs. My availability is wide open! I’m flexible and can often accommodate providing care on weekends and holidays. I also love to take dogs out for the day for hikes or beach excursions. When I’m caring for your pets, I treat them and your home as I would my own! Safety and security are always my top priority.

About: I've cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, from my own 3 pound Yorkie to 100 pound German Shepherds, as well as cats! I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or older, I'll provide reliable, attentive care and treat them like they're part of my own family. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I'm currently attending college online, which means I'm home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends! Since I'm home, your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I live in an apartment, but we have a fenced dog area where pets can safely get outside time and enjoy some play. I also take dogs on daily walks to help them stay active and happy. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves having a companion around, but I always make sure to respect each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible :)

“Sean is so easy to work with. He took great care of our dog and cat and home. We had no worries about handing it all over to him. When our absence was extended by a day, he stayed to make sure our friends were not alone. We will definitely contact Sean again when we are going to be gone.”

About: I have a deep love and respect for animals. I understand that a pet is like family to most owners so I will make sure that I will treat all of your pets with the love and care that you would as well. Detailed instructions are greatly appreciated so I can deliver the absolute best level of care. I can assure you that I will put forth the very best effort to ensure your pup is happy and healthy during the time I care for them. My schedule is quite flexible. Since my main job is within the school system, I’m usually off at 2pm and I get holidays off, as well as having the spring, thanksgiving, and summer breaks. Although I do not care for others pets in my own home, I’m very comfortable saying that not just your pet, but your home, will be greatly taken care of throughout the time I’m there.

About: I have taken care of many family & friends dogs and cats over the years. I have never had an issue with even the unruly ones. I am able to gain an animals trust quickly and am intuitive on how to approach them & care for them. I have a special needs nephew that I am a Respite Careworker for, I help administer his medications and am confident I can administer meds to any animal as well. I have also been taking care of my disabled mom for the last few years and am a mother of 2 (new empty nester). I have a lot of patience and don't get upset with messes. Everything is washable in my opinion. I do have a dog trainer friend that I can recommend as well, if your dog is in need of professional training. I live in Santa Ynez, but am available for pet/house sitting in any part of Santa Barbara County. Would consider travelling further on the weekends if I am able to bring my dog along. I work 3 minutes from home and have a flexible schedule. I have a fenced in yard with a dog door so I am able to leave pets that are potty trained home for a few hours if you need care during the week, I can come home at lunch to check on them. I walk my dog every day, so I know all the good dog walking spots in the area. I love hiking as well, so if your dog is up for it, I am happy to take them hiking too. It is just me, I enjoy the company of animals. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, only because they are more comfortable there. My place is not very big, it is a renovated Bunkhouse, so it depends on how much space they are used to. I can sit 2-3 dogs at a time if they are not too big. I have room for a crate, but not more than one. I do have a small fenced in yard in the back (where the dog door leads) and the entire property is fenced in as well with a locked gate.

About: I’ve been caring for animals ever since getting my first cat at the age of 4. Her name was muffin and she was all grey. I have never been without a pet since then. I have had one or more cats at all times in my life and currently also have a large dog, I am comfortable with feeding, playing, basic needs and giving medicine if necessary for cats and dogs. I take pride in my experiences and love of animals. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have several hours of free time during the day. As both kids go to school. Three times a week I clean at a gymnasium for 3 hours but other than that, I am mostly available all hours until 4pm when child activities began. I have blocks of time between 4pm-9pm on weekdays, navigating around children's sports and weekends are typically completely open. While visiting your home, I would respect all entrances and environments and aim to treat your home and pets the exact same way you would treat your space and pets. Listening carefully to your wishes and expectations to make sure your needs and your pets are met.

“Dyanna has watched my dog a couple times now and she has been great! She is communicative, sends updates, and is very responsive. I know my dog is well taken care of when I am out of town and love that she enjoys watching him.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, I also plan to attend college to become a veterinary technician, so I hope you will trust me with your fur-baby! I’m currently working part-time until college begins, so I’m going to be pretty open most of the week. Whenever you can’t be there, I can be for you! I we’ll meet all expectations and more, I will treat animals with respect and kindness and keep them well taken care of until your return!

“Jeannette is THE BEST! I was gone for 3 nights and felt at ease and comfortable having her stay at my home with Henry. She sent me pics every day, throughout the day, of their adventures. I’ve had others watch Henry, but Jeannette is BY FAR my number one choice from here on out. Selfishly I don’t want anyone else to hire her so that she can always be available for me (just kidding? Lol).”

“I was so happy when I got home from a long day away and found that my babies were so lovingly cared for by Laurie and Reese. Think Teddy found a great playmate with Reese, that when Laurie and Reese left he started barking at the door. My dog never barks, so I think a hi-five and honors go to this happy pair. Thanks again so much.👍”

“Just came back from a weekend with the family. Ellen stayed with our 3 pups and gave us some peace of mind while gone. Ellen kept us updated on how they were doing and sent frequent pix. Walks, playtime and cuddles for all. They were a handful in our absence, but Ellen took care of everything. She was respectful of the house, too. Everything was clean and doggos were happy.”

“Alexis puppy-sat for us over the weekend and she was amazing! We have a high-energy, high demand puppy and Alexis made taking care of her look easy. She kept in touch and sent us pictures and videos that made us feel totally at ease while we were out. Plus our puppy adored Alexis and didn’t want her to leave by the end!”

“Lacey did a great job caring for my cat and dog. She got the dog out for walks daily, rain permitting. My cat warmed up to her nicely. She was a lifesaver letting me go help my brother after surgery. Only negative. She missed trash day, but no problem, I had room for 2 weeks to fit.”

“I’m so glad to have found Rebecca! My cat loved her and she took such good care of our home. Can’t wait to book her again!”

“Dayna took such good care of our pets! They enjoyed her constant attention and snuggles. It's so nice to have someone reliable to take care of them when we're gone for a few days. It let's me enjoy breaks that much more. We will definitely be using her services again!”
