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!

Svetlana was a dream and our little guy loved staying with her. They went on adventures, walks and had a lot of fun together. She sent us tons of videos and pictures to make sure we were updated. I can tell she adores dogs and takes really good care of them :)

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!

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.

Vivian accepted my boarding request asap when I needed last minute help! My shy dog, Fozzie, warmed up to her quickly. Vivian and her husband welcomed me into their home at the start, so I could see where Fozzie would be playing and see him meet their friendly dog, Daisy. It's very reassuring to get that intro. I'd highly recommend Vivian--she's a fantastic sitter!

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.

We are extremely pleased with care Lynn and Marty provided to our dog. Diego was very sad when he got home after one week staying with them. He refused his food and looked like he was missing them! The environment is safe, huge backyard, constant supervision. They are my first choice for next booking

Received multiple updates throughout my dog’s care with her and she asked the right kind of questions that made me feel like she really wanted to provide the best service for my dog’s needs. 10/10 recommend her and will absolutely be using her for future babysitting.

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!

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!

Jacob, Simone, and Mango have been the most wonderful companions to my little pup over multiple trips away. From daily updates to adorable photos, your pup becomes part of their family, immediately. Could not be more grateful to have found them, and could not recommend more to anyone anxious about leaving behind their bestie while they have to pop out of town. THANK YOU!

I’ve had my pup stay with Nicole and Ethan many times in the past few years, & my mind is at ease when I am away because they take loving care of her. They are generously warm, patient, and supportive communicators. I’ve appreciated their flexibility at times when I’ve been late to drop her off/pick her up. We’re moving out of area soon and will miss them but if we’re ever back and need care in town, they’ll be the first I’ll reach out to! Thank you both and your sweet family for genuinely adding to Venus’s life in a meaningful way. We appreciate you!
