3. Honey T.
“I would highly recommend and trust Honey with your fur baby. She was very friendly and fast to respond. She made it easy to drop off my pup by meeting her first and then introducing my dog to her Australian cattle dog. Honey also gave me updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. This eased my mind as It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. I could tell my girl was happy and had a good day. Loved honey, her dog, and how she cared for mine.”
4. Tory A.
“Tory has tenderly loved dogs since she was 5 years old! When her first love, Sunny - the English Springer Spaniel, was old and difficult to love, she loved her even more - always willing to snuggle and embrace her aging weaknesses. And then her new buddy, Bogey - the Golden Retriever, arrived and Tory dropped everything and came home from college to make sure she could create a special bond to the new family puppy. She also showed her heart for all dogs when she slept on the sofa with her brother's rescue, Frankie, who was struggling to acclimate to her new home.”

If you're in need of a reliable, responsible, and caring pet sitter, look no further! With a deep love for all animals and years of experience, I offer excellent pet care services including drop-in's, dog walking, and overnight care for both cats and dogs.

Whether you're headed out of town or simply need someone to give your pets some extra attention during the day, I've got you covered. Your four-legged friend (or even 3,2,1 - I don't discriminate) will be in good hands with me, and I'll ensure they receive the love and care they deserve while you're away. I offer flexible services to accommodate your needs. My rates are affordable, starting at $20.0/hr, depending on your care needs.

I take my dog Kobe for long, off-leash walks every day. We love to go to the Douglas Preserve and Hendry's Beach. When going for a quick potty, we like to visit Shoreline Park or walk along the path next to East Beach. I have an SUV and equipment to keep pups buckled up in the back seat, safety first! I am familiar with the Heimlich Maneuver for dogs, emergency pet hospital locations, and how to prevent and break up dog fights.
13. Vanessa R.
“Lucy had a great 4-night stay with Vanessa! She had a restless first night but then she settled in and became her cuddly self. (Lucy can be reserved with people, so it says something that she came out of her shell that quickly!) I appreciated Vanessa's daily photos and updates. She and her partner, Andy, live near a park and Lucy enjoyed visiting there. It was clear when we picked her up that Vanessa and Andy had treated her with love and care. I'd definitely use Vanessa again.”
14. Tyler W.
“Amazing, Thanks Tyler!”
15. Courtney D.
“Courtney and Weston took the best care of our sweet but relatively complicated old girl. Our pup can be super sensitive and anxious and it seemed like she felt right at home in their space! They kept us updated during our time away with lots of pictures and had no problem with her strict diet and lots of meds! THANK YOU COURTNEY!’”
16. Christian C.
“I feel so lucky to have met Christian and have him take care of my puppy. He constantly sends photos and videos, is very responsive and treats my dog like his own. HIGHLY recommend and thank you Christian!”
17. Nicole S.
“Nicole took wonderful care of my pup while I was visiting Santa Barbara. She kept my pup so entertained on daily outings and in her lovely home next to a pretty creek. I will definitely book her again when I’m back in town. So convenient and accommodating :)”
18. Geneva K.
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our pup to the care of Geneva and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we met Geneva, we could sense her genuine love and passion for animals, and that was reassuring right off the bat. Communication was impeccable. We received regular updates, including photos, which brought us peace of mind knowing that our furry companion was in good hands. It was evident that Geneva took the time to understand our pet's needs and preferences, and she catered to them with care and attention to detail. Overall, we cannot recommend Geneva highly enough. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals makes her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking pet-sitting services. She is truly a gem in the world of pet-sitting!”
19. Svet L.
“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.”
20. Alejo J.
“River had such a blast with Alejo!! His dog, Dobi was such a fun and loving companion to River and I felt so good leaving him in their hands for the weekend. Alejo was communicative through the whole weekend and River came home happy and tired ❤️”
