House Sitting Waterfront

“Cheryl stayed in our home with our active dog Kona while my husband and I were on vacation. We loved receiving pictures and updates of Kona while we were away. We returned home to a happy dog and beautifully well kept house. We are thrilled to have found Cheryl and would recommend her highly!”

“Ellie was amazing with my kitty and senior doggo. She listened with care to all of my care instructions, sent detailed updates everyday, and was so gentle and caring with my girls. My senior dog struggles with incontinence and some medical issues, and Ellie helped her with grace and empathy. She met all of their needs and more, spending time in the sun with the girls and and offering pets and cuddles. She was also super responsive and flexible when I had some flight delays impacting my return, and had my place clean and tidy upon my return. 11/10, would recommend!”

“Lana was very attentive and easy to work with. Got plenty of pics of my pup having the best time at home and around town! Exactly the kind of care I'd hoped he'd get”

Chase M.

“Debra was great with my pup. Lots of photos, walks and very quick with communication. She took good care of my place as well. I'd have her watch my dog again.”

About: I have been relied on by friends and neighbors to walk, feed, socialize, and love on their pups for the last five years! Experience with dogs began with my own dog on the ranch I grew up at and since have house sat, walked, and done daily check ins for dogs when life gets a bit too busy. I am a full time engineer, starting work at 4am during the week. Depending on my meeting schedule, daily evening and/or afternoon walks are perfect. Every couple of hour check ins generally fit in my schedule too. I am home fairly early in the evenings and can house sit most nights of the week (especially weekends). Whatever your pet’s standard routine is, I will match it! I attempt to not disrupt their daily lifestyle. Their usual sleeping arrangements, meal times, and exercise habits will be as normal.

“Breanna was great!! She kept our 12 year old maltipoo company while we were out for a few hours. Very sweet and friendly. I will definitely be using her again when I’m in town.”

About: I’ve been taking care of both dogs and cats all my life! I absolutely adore animals and have experience with puppies, kitties, cats, highly energetic dogs, scared and timid animals, and a little bit of experience with senior animals. I’m currently working part-time & taking classes at the CC! My schedule for that is Monday to Friday so weekends I am very open! If your fur babies are fine with being home alone while I’m at class &/or work, I’m available any time through the week :) My dogs at home are lap dogs and are very cuddly so I love snuggle time with animals, they’ll never go ignored! I’m very cautious and aware of animals that have their boundaries and may be scared and timid- I will work hard to earn their trust! Highly energetic dogs will get lots of play time as well.

About: I have cared for pets most of my life and am a true animal lover. I have experience with dogs, cats and horses and would love to make your pets day special. I am currently taking time off work and when I am in town my schedule is very flexible. I definitely have the ability to tailor my day to your pet’s needs. I am reliable, and trustworthy and if I am in your home or elsewhere will be sure to follow any special instructions you have for your pet.

“We SO enjoyed having Deborah watch our home and take care of our dog. Charlie was genuinely happy when we got home - not just happy that we're home. This isn't always the case when someone new stays, so this is huge. Our house was left in perfect shape, and Deborah was great with communication and updates. We will absolutely look forward to using her again.”

Julie A.

“Shae was wonderful to work with! She was communicative about the logistics of my house stay/dog sitting arrangement and extremely pleasant to work with. She took great care of my dog and I felt completely safe trusting her while I was out of town. I will definitely work with her again!”

Laura L.

“Chelsi was great. We we out for about 7 hours while she watched Sheilah. She sent us updates and pictures. Since we were out of town, it was reassuring to have such a competent, confident and friendly sitter . Nothing but praise for Chelsi. We will use her again if the situation arises.”

Fred M.

“Chrystal is awesome! She was so sweet with our senior dog, Charlie, and took such good care of him. She even brought him some homemade treats! She ensured she had plenty of time for our meet and greet, so I'd have a chance to get to know her a little before committing to having her care for Charlie in our home. I really appreciated that. She was very respectful and flexible, and checked in about our return time, to make sure Charlie would have the care he needed if we returned later than expected.”

About: Ever since I was little i’ve always had family pets and constant foster puppies. From this experience i’ve learned plenty on how to approach an animal in a safe loving open way, and even as far as bottle feeding , correct diet, a little bit of simple training, and walking experience. I can guarantee you your animals are safe in my care, if not over-loved. I work a part time job at petco on weekends and weekdays. I occasionally volunteer with pets on weekends depending on my open availability. I also am a college student and have classes only in the mornings Tues-Thursday, only ever as long as 4 hours total. Other than class and work I am open and flexible to you and your schedule/convenience. Growing up with cats and dogs really opened me up and got me very comfortable with all and every animals. I’ve learned very important aspects as when and what an animal needs and why. I am here to follow your instructions and any specific details in terms of care you may need/request and have no problem conforming to whatever task may be asked of me. I can assure you I am more than capable of any animal big, small, energetic, played-back, or even sometimes mischievous. I personally like to think it’s easier for me to connect with animals then it may be with humans, which can guarantee you I am here for none other than the safety and care of your pet(s).

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.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and especially puppies. I’ve personally trained two puppies from scratch, so I’m comfortable with the patience and consistency it takes to support a dog through their early years. I have a deep, intuitive connection with animals and often find I understand their energy and needs even better than people’s. I work for myself from home here in Santa Barbara, which means I have plenty of flexibility to give pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, belly rubs, or just a calm, safe space, I approach every animal with genuine care and a tender heart. I’m also very active, so long walks and outdoor time are a highlight for both me and the dogs I care for. I work for myself and from home, so my schedule is very flexible. That means I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs—whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I’ll always make time to give your pet the attention and consistency they deserve. Every animal is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual needs, energy, and comfort level. I’ll meet your dog or cat where they’re at—whether that means extra space, extra snuggles, or gentle structure—with clear, compassionate boundaries to keep them safe and happy. If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I live in a calm, pet-friendly apartment near Santa Barbara City College, with plenty of walkable paths and green spaces nearby. I love getting outside and take dogs on multiple long walks throughout the day. If your dog is social and has solid recall, I can bring them to local off-leash areas for supervised play and exploration. I have one small dog of my own—Pepper, a 3.5-year-old mixed breed who’s very friendly and well-socialized. I also have two young stepsons who are with us 50% of the time, so dogs staying in our home must be kid-friendly. The good news? Your dog will get plenty of love and attention from four caring humans. I’ve trained two of my own dogs from puppyhood and am confident managing a range of behaviors—from leash training to crate routines and basic obedience. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for senior pets or those with special needs. For cat care, I’m especially attuned to their unique rhythms and boundaries, and I provide calm, consistent care whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them during a stay. Whether I’m boarding, walking, or house sitting, your pet will be safe, respected, and genuinely cared for—just like family.
