Dog Walking
We do neighborhood walks on leash for dogs that are less sociable or require less exercise. Walks are at least 30 minutes in length.

Beach Trips and Hikes
For the extremely sociable and energetic pooch we organize individual and group outings. Outings are 45 minutes to an hour in length.

Overnights
If your pet likes overnight company, we will sleepover at your home. Overnights are generally from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Just ask if you prefer another schedule. We'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

Puppy Pet Care
If you've just added a new puppy to your family, you already know that they require lots of attention and mental stimulation. In order to establish a good routine and develop positive habits which will not only benefit your puppy but you too it's important to not leave them alone for long periods of time.
As a puppy, your dog needs to eat frequently throughout the day, about three or four smaller meals, until they are about three months old. Many veterinarians recommend then cutting it down to three meals a day until they are about six months old and at that time begin feeding them only 2 times a day.
We can help by visiting your latchkey pup once or twice a day depending on your needs. During our 20-minute visit we will work on basic puppy training and we will also feed them breakfast or lunch, give them a potty break and plenty of playtime and of course unlimited love and cuddles. This service is offered for your puppy's first six months.

Hotel Visits
Would you like to visit beautiful Santa Barbara with your pet? There are many pet friendly hotels in Santa Barbara, but most require that you do not leave your pet unattended. Our sitters will stay in the hotel room and give your dog or cat lots of love and attention and will also walk your pooch around the property for potty breaks while you are enjoying Santa Barbara. For those who are getting married in Santa Barbara we also offer dog chaperones at your wedding so that your little one can join in on your special day!

Home Security Checks
Taking Sparky with you this time? We come by to maintain that lived-in look and water plants, check the mail, take out the garbage, etc.

Pet Transportation/Pet Errands
We take your pet to veterinary, grooming, and other appointments and can pick-up pet supplies.

Doggie Adventures:

If you have an active dog that obeys verbal commands and plays well with others, we will take him or her out to a fun and exciting outing. Depending on the adventure, your dog will be taken to an offleash park (such as the Douglas Family Preserve), on a hike into the Los Padres National Forest, or simply on a stroll in the pet friendly downtown Santa Barbara. Your dog will come back happy and, best of all, tired for the rest of the day. 1 Hour Adventure - $30.00
Pet Errand (Per 15 Minutes)

- $7.50 We understand it's not always easy to take your pet to the vet during the day. In fact, it's sometimes difficult to keep a medical visit for us humans! Pet errands are where we will pick up prescriptions, take your pet to the vet (with your written consent), take them to your groomer, or any other errand you may need some extra help with.
