Dog Boarding in Westside, Santa Barbara, CA

“As our first Rover experience, Lauren exceeded every expectation. She is smart, kind, extremely responsible, and took excellent care of our dog Buddy. Lauren sent us videos and updates so we never had to worry about how Buddy was doing. I heartily recommend Lauren to anyone needing dog care. We are so happy we have found her!!”

“Damian is the best! He has looked after our dog for over three weeks while we were away, and he cares for her just like his own dog. Sprite gets daily excised and fun time, and we receive frequent updates on her. Will go back to Damian again!”

About: I’m a 26-year-old working professional who works a hybrid schedule. I’ve grown up with high-energy dogs like Boxers and have years of experience volunteering at shelters and humane societies. I frequently day-foster dogs through SBC Animal Services and love giving each dog personalized attention. I’m attentive to older dogs, pets on medication, and those with other specials need. Your pup will be cared for like family! I work full-time but have a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to be home when needed. My office in downtown Santa Barbara is dog-friendly, so I can often bring dogs along if needed. I’m also available all day most weekends, making it easy to provide consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the week. I live in an apartment with a secure outdoor patio where pets can relax safely. I provide daily walks, plenty of playtime, and frequent potty breaks. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular feeding and care schedule to keep their routine consistent and comfortable.

“James is the absolute best! This was by far one of the best pet sitting experiences not only for my dog, but for us as well. He took the stress out of it. James took excellent care of our senior dog and was considerate and accommodating to all his needs. James provided updates and photos multiple times a day. The best part is our dog came home super happy…trust me…if his experience wasn’t good he would have let us know. We hope James will be our go to sitter from here on out! Thanks again James!”

About: I thoroughly love every second of sitting through Rover! I love meeting all of the fun little characters, and taking them on adventures. Dogs who stay with me can expect beach trips, hikes, and runs to keep them exercised and occupied (of course adjusted to their needs and abilities!). I'm currently building my own digital marketing business from home, so I can give visitors my full supervision and frequent bathroom breaks. We have a fenced in yard that they will love! I love cats and have tons of experience sitting and volunteering with them! Unfortunately, my partner is allergic to them, so I can't host them at my house. I am happy to house sit for cats! Need sitting for a different type of animal? I have pet ducks so I can relate - feel free to reach out to see if I can help with your specific pet sitting needs :) I work from home, so I am widely available to care for your pets! I am able to work on weekdays and weekends for as short or as long as you need! I have a fenced yard for your pets to play in safely! I work from home so pets will have lots of fun and supervision.

“Lianne did a fantastic job taking care of our Golden Retriever. Easy to communicate with, conscientious, hands on and I will most certainly book with her again. Great experience and wholeheartedly recommend.”

“Honey took such great care of our 2 Australian Shepherds. She was responsive, proactive with asking the right questions, and sent plenty of videos/ photos which we really appreciated. Honey particularly went above and beyond by showing us new commands that she had taught the dogs while we were gone. Our pups came home both exhausted (in a good way), behaved, and well satisfied. Lastly, we were especially appreciative when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and Honey agreed to continue watching the dogs for an extra 4 days even when she has personal plans of her own. Thank you so much, Honey!”

“Svetlana was the most incredible dog sitter for my sweet pup:) she was prompt at responding the entire stay & was able to agree to watch Toby with short notice. She kept me updating with sweet photos, and was even able to accommodate an additional day at the last minute. I returned from a weekend away to a very happy, (& clean!) pup. I could tell her & her boyfriend were very caring and attentive with him. I will definitely be booking with them the next time I need a sitter! Highly recommend.”

Naomi C.

“Ellen was amazing! my little dog needed medication administered and some special attention and Ellen handled it no problem. We highly recommend her and will have our little dog stay with her next time we leave!”
