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!

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!

About: I have worked at a cat boarding facility for the better part of five years. I have many pets and experience with the following; medicine administration, injecting insulin, monitoring the cats’ health and appetite, cleaning, and making sure each and every cat got the adequate attention they needed. In addition to this I have also pet sat for dogs and cats for years. Most of customers were regulars and I got to get to know each animal very well. I have also had both a dog and a cat my whole life, so I know what it is like to not only constantly care for a pet, but also love and worry about them, which is why I take such pride in ensuring my customers have complete peace knowing I will care for their pets! I am a college student and am available most afternoons, but have more freedoms Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends. My schedule can be very flexible though. My main concern in caring for pets is their health and safety. I will always make sure they are doing well and have all the care they need in that aspect. I also will make sure they are happy and receiving the attention from me they need. I will always follow any and all instructions left on caring for pets.

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'm so happy that I found Honey! She and her pup Rosie were a great match for Bucky. Honey sent photos and updates often, and was very quick to respond. She was intuative with Bucky's needs and I knew he was in great hands. She has a comfortable home and bed that Bucky didn't want to get out of. This is my first experience on this app and I have no hesitation leaving Bucky with her in the future. Thanks again honey! A++

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 strive to be flexible and reliable so your pets receive the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I take the time to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also help keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet, refreshing water bowls, and respecting your space as if it were my own. Throughout my visits or stay, I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been involved with all types of animals my entire life, mainly horses and dogs.Experience with some basic vet care as well. Can administer meds and vet follow up treatments. Comfortable with big dogs. I have house/pet sit anywhere from 3 days to 2 months at a time. See recommendations on Nextdoor. My schedule is flexible. I do take my 12 1/2 year old daughter to school at 8:00. She also house sits with me and loves animals I live at the Polo fields so if pets are at my place there is plenty of space to walk or if I’m at your house we go on hikes or beach. I have an indoor cat that likes dogs and a pet rat.

About: Hello, I'm Dorothy & I love animals! I have always had a deep connection with animals, so pet training has always come naturally to me. I grew up on a farm with dogs of all sizes. I pride myself on staying consistent with training, keeping pet parents updated on helpful tips to implement to improve any training goals.

When caring for your pets, I practice safety measures by greeting your pet quietly and slowly so that we can get to know each other. I ensure that the leash and collar or harness are secure and come ready with a walking route. I practice safety in the home and will leave everything exactly as I found it! I am trustworthy and always available for updates about your fur babies.

Angelin was so great with my goofy but super anxious dog Carl. I was worried about leaving him at a new place with a new person, but when we met Angelin, I felt totally comfortable about it. She has the most warm, calm energy and Carl was totally happy to hang out with her. She’s also really communicative and easy to work with. We had a great experience and will definitely reach out to her in the future.

Your pup will be in great hands with Ryan! We loved seeing updates throughout the day of our dog having fun with other dogs in the backyard. It was also great to know there are multiple outdoor and indoor areas if the dogs needed space from each other. We were relaxed because we knew she was being well cared for and she came home happy and tired after a big day of fun.

I’m so grateful for Vivian & Taylor helping me out with Max. And it was a huge plus that my dog got to have a play date with Daisy! Communication was easy and clear. I had to make a last minute modification in my schedule & they were accommodating. They asked if Max had any special medical needs & let me see their home & backyard. I loved the updates—they sent photos & videos and I could tell Max was truly having a blast. I would highly recommend & would definitely book again!

This was our first time using Rover and we were a little hesitant about the whole process especially since our fur baby is timid and sometimes anxious. However, Saychelle was very sweet, communicative, and accommodating and quickly put me at ease. From the moment my husband dropped her off, we knew she was the perfect fit. If we are ever in the Santa Barbara area again, Saychelle will be our go to dog sitter.

Joshua is super friendly and even offered us tips on what to do in Santa Barbara, and which restaurants were dog friendly. He was very good with our dog Cocoa, and I don't think she even noticed that we were gone! We really appreciated Joshua's flexibility in terms of timing for the doggy daycare and would use him again if we were back in Santa Barbara.
