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.
10. Tina T.
“Okay…Tina went waaaaaay over and above the call of duty. We had a three month old puppy and she spent the day loving on her for every minute. Our puppy needs 100% attention. Tina gave her 110%. So thrilled and blessed! She sent videos, pics and updates all throughout the day. What a lady! Thank you Tina.”

16. Lucy G.
“When I was looking for a pet caregiver, one word kept popping into my mind: trustworthy. From the moment I met Lucy, I knew that I could trust her with someone as important as my pet. She has cared for my pet for over 5 different occasions and has done a fantastic job. There is no better option than Lucy as a pet caregiver because you can trust that she will be the best caregiver that she can be!”
17. 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.”
