“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++”

10. Nick S.
“Nick is an outstanding teenager on all fronts who I have had the pleasure of knowing for the past 10 years. He has always been a standout for me among his peers. Nick is one of the most polite, thoughtful, positive and engaging teenagers I know and my expectations are high. He is always prompt, considerate and goes above and beyond with regard to anything I request. He is communicative, kind and organized and truly cares about and loves animals. Nick is also a strong team player, he has the ability to remain in control and calm under pressure and is a true problem solver. But what strikes me the most about Nick is his compassion for and understanding of others and animals. I have always been able to completely count on and trust Nick with my 100 lb Labrador dog along with any other responsibility. Nick would be an amazing employee and a great addition to the team. Clients and their pets will love Nick.”

12. Meagan C.
“I am so grateful to Meagan for taking such good care of my senior doggie! She needed a lot of attention and special care, and Meagan gave her everything she needed and more. I trust her to follow strict instructions and show care and concern for my baby. Highly recommend her services.”
13. Svet L.
“My dog Cozy gets very excited when meeting new people and she enjoys other small dogs so she had a great time during the 9 hours she hung out with Svet Lana. Cozy has a lot of energy and turned the walk with another small dog into more of a race. But Svet Lana was up to the challenge :) I also received lots of communication and photos. I could tell Cozy had a great time - she even cried a little as we left which I don't recall happening before.”

About: I have always grown up with all kinds of animals-- cats, dogs, hermit crabs, rats and hamsters, and even took in a squirrel in high school! I have been animal sitting/ baby sitting for money since 8th grade and will take great care of your pet. I am currently enrolled at SBCC and taking mostly online classes and currently have a lot of free time. I would love to be considered! As a freshman at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) balancing part-time work, I've structured my schedule to accommodate my studies and job responsibilities, except for Wednesdays. With planning, I'm completely capable and adaptable to a need schedule. I live in an apartment right next to Santa Barbara City College and the beach is convenient and there is plenty of grass nearby, but unfortunately, there's no yard directly where I live.

“Anthony took the absolute best care of my little puppy. She needs to be let out a lot and he made sure that happened and even took the most amazing pictures of her and sent me updates throughout the day. If you want your pup well taken care of I’d recommend Anthony! His house has a great grassy area for pups to run around and overall was a super chill dude. 11/10 recommend! Thanks Anthony!”
19. Trisha W.
“Trisha Webb has taken care of Racer since he was 3 months old (now 2-1/2 yrs). We’ve had Trisha for a a few hours, a full day, and almost 2 weeks at a time. Racer has stayed at her house, and Trisha and her daughter, Taylor, have stayed at our house when we’ve gone on vacation. In all instances Trisha has been on time, responsible, and trustworthy. Our dog loves Trisha and Taylor. He goes crazy when he sees them! Trisha takes him on hikes, to the beach, out to lunch, they go everywhere together. Whenever I text Trisha to ask about Racer, she responds immediately and always sends a cute photo. We highly recommend Trisha for any dog sitting and house sitting position. Regards, Cathy Milner”
