“We are so grateful that our dog Mina got to stay with such a kind family. Bradley and Carolyn were incredibly attentive and caring, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They sent daily updates along with the cutest photos, which we really appreciated. If Mina could talk, I’m sure she would give them a 5 out of 5 rating. She loved playing with the other dogs and got plenty of walks and attention. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with them again.”

About: I provide patient, attentive care and treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, calm, and focused on keeping pets comfortable and safe. I have hands-on experience caring for pets’ daily needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have flexible availability and can plan my day around feedings, walks, and check-ins. I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety and comfort by following the pet’s routine exactly as instructed. I make sure their environment is clean, secure, and stress-free, whether in my home or the client’s home. I supervise pets closely, keep doors and gates secure, and communicate with owners to ensure their pet feels safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved taking care of them. I have a dog of my own and have helped care for pets of all kinds, from neighborhood pups to family cats. I’ve participated in dog training classes, I’m certified in animal CPR, and I’m currently a pre-veterinarian major studying biology. So this isn’t just something I enjoy, I’m truly passionate about it. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, a check-in, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! As a college student, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have lots of time during the week and weekends to hang out with your pets. Walks, check-ins, playtime, I’d be so excited to do any of these with your furry friends. I love being outside and active, so spending time with animals is honestly the best part of my routine. I’m super mindful about keeping pets safe and comfortable, whether I’m in your home or out on a walk. I always follow care instructions closely, and I’m trained in animal CPR, so I’m prepared for emergencies (just in case!). I’ve also taken pet training classes, so I know how to read behavior and respond calmly if a pup gets nervous or overly excited. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure and happy, and to leave you feeling totally at ease, too.

Gave wonderful pupdates and really put my mind at ease for the whole weekend that we were at our family event. We are forever grateful.”

My dog can take a little time to warm up in new situations, but she connected with him quickly and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the whole time.”

About: I’ve spent over 30 years caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and professionally. My approach is intuitive, compassionate, and grounded in a lifetime of hands-on experience. I run a local Montecito dog walking business, working with dogs of all breeds and specializing in big, athletic, and high-energy dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a Montecito-based business owner and endurance athlete, I spend much of my time on the trails and beaches — often with a dog by my side. My lifelong love of animals, combined with my endurance background, makes me especially well-suited for larger or high-energy breeds. I genuinely love bonding with dogs and take pride in being a calm, confident presence — a natural pack leader they can trust. I care for the dogs I walk as if they were my own — with plenty of love, attention, and respect for their individual needs. I’m known for giving dogs the exercise they truly crave, whether that’s an energizing trail walk, a beach romp, or a steady neighborhood outing. I stay fully present and engaged, making sure each walk is safe, stimulating, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and personality.

About: I am a former kitten foster and also have precious dog sitting experience. I love animals so I will definitely give them the love and attention to feel secure when you are gone. I recently moved to San Diego and am looking for animal friends! I would never treat an animal differently than a way I would treat a human. They are equals in my eyes and I really just like to love them! Your animals would not be lonely or neglected at all in my care. I do not have any animals of my own currently so they would have plenty of one-on-one time with me. I have experience with puppies and neonatal kittens, as well as older dogs and cats. I won’t let you or your pet down :) I recently quit my job as I am starting Physician Assistant school in September so I have plenty of free time these days. Trying to make some money in the interim and figured this is right up my alley. I have a fenced in yard and one fluffy male resident tuxedo cat that has been with me through most of my fosters. He was a foster fail and the sweetest! He gets along with both cats and dogs. I keep my house clean and only have pet safe plants!

“Leeanna and her entire family welcomed Frances with pets and hugs, and Frances settled in quickly. Frances always had friends nearby with Leeanna's three girls, who were so loving and gentle. There was even a slumber party in the living room with Frances, complete with piles of pillows Frances could burrow into. Leeanna sent pictures throughout the evening so I knew my baby girl was in good hands. I highly recommend Leanna, especially if you have a small, delicate dog.”

About: I have had dogs in my life of all shapes and sizes since I was young and my love for them has never changed. They are the sweetest of pets and deserve all the love patience and care in the world. I love to have fun with all dogs or just hang out, whatever their needs may be. I currently have an open schedule to care and provide whenever necessary! I do morning and evening walks with my own dog but whenever needed we change it up and adjust. My home has a big fenced yard as well as baby gates at the front door to provide extra security. I have a dog of my own that is very playful and kind plus 2 family dogs that prefer their own time but have a safe and private place for themselves.

Jorrit and his family took great care of our dog Cosmo! It's clear he got a love of love from the whole family and we got a lot of comfort from the daily updates. We will definitely reach out to them again for future dogsitting needs.

Sandra was wonderful to work with and she took great care of our dog Darby! From the start when she offered to do a meet and greet and through his 5 day stay while we went back east for a funeral, she followed instructions, met his needs and was always sweet to him. We appreciated how communicative she was during the whole process and Darby came home energized and obedient because she walked him regularly. We will use Sandra again...and again!
