Dog Sitters in Capitan, CA

They care so much about dogs. I got a lot of pictures of him during my trip. They also contacted me to know if it was ok to increase the food amount bc my dog was running too much and losing weight. It is a beautiful property, and my dog loves it. I love Ricky and his crew.

Loved SDDR! The kennel is now operated by Elite Pup Training. After happily boarding my dog at SDDR for several years, I just dropped her off with the Elite folks. They seemed very dog focused, loving, and well organized and accommodating to me as well as my dog. I'll know more after I pick her up when we get back.

Susie was so helpful, sweet and kind. We really appreciate her going above and beyond for our family. She has a big heart for both humans and dogs. I would recommend this Doggie dude ranch to any dog family. The dogs there are so happy and well taken care of.

This place was very unusual and I did not think at first it would work for my special needs geriatric dog but I gave it a chance since the kennel I reserved her in rejected her before her insulin dose was due at 630pm! Susie was fabulous and sent me many text messages ,pictures and even a little video. I drove 26 miles and it was worth it.

Our dog, Albert, loves to be with other dogs and does not do well in a standard kennel with small enclosures. He Loves the Dude ranch where he can interact with his new dog friends in a very large play area. SDDR isn't cheap, but he's happy, so it's worth it.

They sponsor a snake aversion class every spring

Great people, lots of room for the dogs to run. Constent attention paid to the dogs.

Amazing place just north of goleta

Awesome those guys rock

Great spot!

I love bringing my dog, Apollo, to Dioji Goleta! He’s a rambunctious 2-year-old Golden Retriever pup who loves to run around with all his friends and swim in the pool! The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. They always make him feel at home.

I love Diogi Goleta. The staff are the BEST and treat my dog with love. She pulls on the leash to run in and gets so excited when she sees the team (shout out to Brittney, Jared, Eleanor). I take her for daycare and boarding and I know she’s in good hands (I regularly get photo updates). Highly recommend!!!

Love this doggy day care. The staff is friendly and take a genuine interest in your dogs. We trust them with our fur family.

I have taken my dog here about once per week since she was a puppy. She loves it! I have also boarded her here a few times. Cage-free boarding is such a rare find. Everyone who works here is awesome, professional, and really cares about your dog. They are very strict on vaccines, spay and neuter, and signs of illness, but that's a good thing!

Took the dog here two times. Originally staff seemed pleasant and friendly. After our dog's second stay, we noticed a pretty significant bite mark on her side. This was not reported to us by the staff when we took her home. Called to see if we could get more information. Not much info was provided, and staff said they would call back. No return call was made. Also discovered in their agreement they're not liable for any resulting issues from this bite. Will not be returning.

Dropped off puppy for two hours. Picked her up only to find out she was locked away in a small crate. She was not happy when I picked her up in distress. They also told us if she’s not fixed she won’t be accepted in the future. We are done with this place

Our dog loves the Goleta Dioji community and team members, and so do we. Here are a few features we love: - The staff treats our dog as theirs and are thoughtful and attentive. They have multiple staff members present to supervise their playing and take action if a dog is misbehaving or not feeling well. When our dog threw up during daycare (from gluttony at home 😂), they immediately called us to let us know and to see how to proceed, keeping a careful eye on her for the rest of the day. Our dog loves other canines but is shy around humans, and the staff gives her cuddles but also recognize how to move and interact with her in a way that respects her boundaries. The staff members are always ready to answer our questions and are a joy to talk to. - Boarding is super convenient when you really need it and also need a peace of mind. Dioji does this really nice thing where they send regular updates about how your dog is sleeping and eating, or if they've made new friends. The best are the photos of your dog playing or snoozing with pals. I didn't realize this until recently, but there is also a staff member who stays overnight with the boarding dogs and watches them. The dogs also are not crated (unless misbehaving/aggressive). What we usually do is reserve our boarding in advance, and then drop off our dog with meals and instructions around portions. - Fun for dogs! There are so many dogs to play with and platforms and hammocks. Dogs are separated by characteristics such as size and/or age to ensure harmony (as far as I can tell). And there's even a pool for dogs who enjoy swimming. We think this is where our dog dipped her "toe into the water" for first swimming lessons. If your dog enjoys other dogs' company, this facility is a great place. Goleta Dioji provides a wonderful community resource for dog owners in the area. Thank you!

AMAZING PLACE!! My dog Ozzy loves it here!! Always very accommodating and available whenever! All the employees are super kind! No dog care place like it!

I could not live without Dioji Goleta. Shout out Jared, Bethany, Kelly, Brittany, Eleanor and the many other friendly faces that take such good care of my guy. Packages are the way to go.

This place is amazing, my dogs are always so happy to be there and use the pool. The staff is great and Kelly has always been the best staff member there. She clearly loves and cares for all of the dogs, I am always happy when I see she is working. I can't recommend this place enough, your dogs will love it.

My dog (Riley!) loves the staff at Dioji in downtown Santa Barbara. She’s a people dog, and the crew at Dioji give her plenty of attention and affection, while encouraging her socialization with the other dogs. I’m so grateful for this wonderful resource for my pup.

They took great care of my dog on a trip and were accommodating to a vacation based schedule. The prices were pretty reasonable, although charging to feed my dog was a little strange (it’s pet daycare - do you not expect them to eat at all? Why charge a fee per meal if food is provided by the owner?) Overall though, I had a good experience and would recommend using them. I’d use them again in the future if I was in the area.

My one-year-old Aussie absolutely adores this place, and so do I. From the moment we walk in, the staff greets us with warmth and enthusiasm, making us feel like family. The facilities are top-notch, with spacious play areas that are clean and comfortable, and even a swimming pool (my little man’s favorite) for the pups to cool off in during hot days. I love that they prioritize safety, with trained staff supervising playtime and ensuring all dogs get along. What truly sets Dioji apart is their genuine love for dogs. They pay attention to each dog's unique needs and personality, providing personalized care and attention. It's evident they care about the well-being of every furry guest. I always feel calm knowing my dog is in great hands. The daily report cards and photos they send are a delightful touch, allowing me to see my pup having a blast with new friends. Dioji's flexible hours make it easy for me to drop off and pick up my pup, and their pricing is reasonable for the exceptional service they provide. I wholeheartedly recommend Dioji Dog Day Care to any dog owner looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their furry family member. I couldn't be happier with the care they provide!

I am never sure of whether my two dogs enjoy going there. They are not consistent with providing report cards or pictures. The past 4 times I have taken my dogs they have not provided a report card. Staff has also been extremely vague about how my dogs’ days went and there have been times when I stop by to check on them and have not seen them in the yard for 10+ minutes but I have never received reports of my dogs needing to be put in a crate for time out so I find this worrisome. Lastly, it does not seem like they provide water to the dogs. When my guys get home they seem to rush to the water and drink a gallon straight. It seems quite dangerous for dogs to be exerting themselves and playing outside without being provided water. Overall, I have very mixed feelings. Initially I felt a lot better about their communication/transparency and consistency. It seems to have gone down hill. Their play areas have also become more and more fenced off and smaller. Some employees seem annoyed by the dogs. I am definitely going to be testing out other daycares in the area.

So far so good, our dog always looks forward to going! Matthew Pollino Triple Seven Jiu Jitsu

Highly recommend this place for daycare and boarding! My husband I found ourselves in a pinch when our dog care plans for a long weekend fell through last minute. The staff was incredibly kind and empathetic of our predicament, and they were able to accommodate 3 days of boarding for our two dogs with essentially zero notice. The facility is also extremely clean and secure, and the overnight setup seems so fun for the pups -- it's like a giant slumber party!

Had a great experience boarding my pup here. I drove in from out of town and went through the first-time board process where they watch your dog for a period of time to ensure the dog assimilates well with the group. Dioji communicated really well leading up to drop off which I appreciated so I understood the check in process, vax requirements, etc. First time boarders were provided a complimentary bath. Seemed like my pup had a fun time and they have a nice space for play and lots of dog fun. Would definitely return here.

Worst experience ever! We made an appointment at 2 pm and they called me saying that it was at 12, then when they did the service they never called me to let me know that my dog was ready and they charged me an extra 50 dollars for "daycare". Over all a bad experience.

My dog cannot wait to get to Dioji in the morning! He has so much fun and comes back tired :) the staff are plentiful and friendly and the facilities are clean and fantastic. Highly recommend.

Our pup has grown so much since attending Dioji! Being around the staff and other dogs has helped her gain confidence and become less anxious around strangers. The staff is communicative and kind!

Justin layed out all the options for puppy/dog training for our 8 month old yellow American Lab. He was realistic about training goals for an AD/HD puppy, and my wife and I chose the best training package for our long term goals, just to get him started. We have evidence that their methods work.

Michael, Justin and Stacy are truly incredible people with a love for YOUR pet! I brought my 13 pound Mini Schnauzer mix dog into their boarding facility for just shy of a couple weeks and they took excellent care of her. The activities are plentiful for the all the dogs and their kennels have A/C. Had some food restrictions but they were kind enough to accommodate. Had a bit of a dilemma but they helped me sort it out! Check them out! If you have any questions, they’re very friendly and like any other business can be reached via the phone. I want to thank each and every employee there for the work that you do! The Ruff Ranch is a terrific place for your pet if you want safety and fun activities with the other dogs And (yes), they have earned my business in the future!

The Ruff Ranch did an excellent job training our Aussie youngster. He spent 2 weeks there doing obedience training, socialization playtime with other dogs, and muzzle training. They also take excellent care of him when we have needed to boarded him. Their trainers are consistent, and best of all...you get a video of your dog learning new skills everyday they are in the board and train program.

I recently boarded my 8 year old Brittany spaniel at Ruff Ranch. I had to book him for a 2 weeks stay at a last minute notice due to a family emergency. I am so thankful he was able to stay there. The owner and employees were so friendly, professional and very organized. When I went to pick him up he was happy, clean and the same as always. I have tried other boarding facilities in the area but Ruff Ranch is my favorite.

Imagine an iconic doggie destination retreat complete with fun, tail-wagging friends and the best-trained training staff ever! That and more is what you'll find at Ruff Ranch. The grounds are gorgeous (there's a lake!), the accommodations are spacious and well-appointed, and doggedly clean and safe. I've often wished I had whiskers and a tail so I could hang out at the ranch, too! Justin and the Ruff Ranch team bring a quality of professionalism that is unrivaled in this business field and rare in others. We and our dog so appreciate the patience, skill, and professionalism this team combines in caring for and training our rascally border collie and all the other pups who have the good fortune to cross the Ruff Ranch threshold.

Everyone at the Ruff Ranch is so kind and genuinely loves dogs. I have used many doggy day cares over the years and this is the only one that my dog happily runs into. All the staff greet him by name and remember him (even when he hasn't been there in weeks). I love that they take the time to get to know your dog and their temperament and gently introduce them into the right play yards and don't overwhelm them. It is also the only place I have felt comfortable boarding our dog, especially since I know they get lots of playtime and and attention.

The folks at Ruff Ranch are wonderful! Michael at the front always is on top of our drop offs and pick ups, even surprising me with his efficiency. Anthony has been super patient with our dog Skye who always needs a bit more time acclimating to a new daycare. Nani is loving her playtime and special attention from her new human friends. We are thankful to have found Ruff Ranch during our move to the Valley!

The Ruff Ranch is fantastic! They are very thoughtful about the initial intake and make sure your dog will do well there. They clearly care so much for the doggies. Our rescue pup did great the first day and now loves going for a day here and there. She comes back so happy and tired it's amazing. Cannot say enough great things about them.

Our Loki loves his weekly trips to the Ruff Ranch. The staff is awesome and takes great care of our boy while he spends his day running around and playing in the water.

The staff is awesome and make Ruff Ranch what it is. Even though my dogs don't go to Ruff Ranch regularly, I've met the owner and most all of the Staff. They are a friendly, positive bunch willing to help you with any issue. Reception area is welcoming, pleasant and professional. I haven't had the opportunity to use any of the optional services yet, but they will even take your dog to vet appointments if needed! Other services include grooming, nails and dispensing meds. Ruff Ranch is the most complete daycare and boarding facility for dogs in the area.

Nothing short of a MIRACLE!!!! I cannot recommend Ricky and his staff enough. We are so, so, SO grateful to have a well-behaved puppy now. I don't know how they did it in just three weeks (we did the overnight stay option, which was completely worth it). But they did. We have a loving but challenging sweet pup who was a whole different personality from our older dog (who was much easier to train ourselves). She was food obsessed (still is, but totally in control now) and jumped at us sitting at the table and grabbed food out of our mouths! She also is a major barker, now completely manageable. She may do a bark here or there, but is easily redirected and stops. She heels and lies down easily. She jumped to say hi to people and they also resolved that. She absolutely HATED her crate (would bark/cry non-stop) and now she goes in without issue. She may have a whimper here or there initially, but immediately stops when we use our commands learned from Ricky. Having a well-behaved dog is truly priceless, and I would do this again in a heartbeat if needed with another pup. Also, it's so clear that Ricky and the other staff truly love the dogs. It made me so happy to watch Ricky in our training sessions with our pup and know she was in good, loving hands during the process. THANK YOU!!!!

Ricky was wonderful! We brought our adult dog in for an evaluation and we learned a lot about what she needs to work on. He was knowledgeable and very responsive to our questions!

I have a american bully blue nose pitbull thats as stuborn as can be. She tests me on the daily. I decided to get some help and met with ricky from elite pup training. I felt at ease and comfortable right from the start. He is great at teaching and putting together the right program for you and your family and your dog. E collars get a bad rap Get educated on them. Great tool to help turn your puppy into a dog Thank you for all the love u showed my dog ricky and staff See you for boarding when i go out of town

Ricky, Vanessa, and the awesome team at Elite Pup Training provided excellent care for our little doggie. They were patient, caring, and earned his trust in no time! The facilities are large, and well equiped for all types of dogs. Highly recommend their services!

Ricky and his team of dog lovers have been fantastic with my 100 pound puppy with endless energy and intrusive non-listening manners. Osito is now well on his way to healing and coming when I call him with distractions and all. Thank you for shaping Osito into an even better dog.

We signed up Stella for EPTs 3 week boarding program and are very happy with the results! We had done other training courses before choosing EPT but we still needed more help to address Stella's reactiveness. In the past we couldn't even take her on a walk without her pulling the whole way or lunging at cars driving by. Thankfully all of that is no longer an issue thanks to EPT. She would also get really worked up with dogs on walks and thanks to the training not only has that improved but we also know how to snap Stella out of it before she gets overworked. Thanks for much to Ricky, Vanessa, and the team! We're looking forward to bringing Stella back for daycare soon 😊✨️

Highly recommend! Ricky and the team did wonders for my very anti-dog 6 year old husky/shepherd! Over the 5 week board and train and boarding visits, he became so desensitized to other dogs, and got so much better at meeting new people too! I wish I had done this years before instead of trying to keep him away from any triggers. Sign up now, it will make a world of difference in your relationship with your pup and quality of life.

Just after my 150lb Newf Angus turned 2, while we were on a walk, he pulled me over chasing a cat. This incident plus a couple of other concerns made me seek out Ricky for help. Ricky and his staff are amazing. I now feel confident walking him both on and off leash. While before Gus could get rough playing with other dogs because of his size, he is now much better socialized. Last year Gus would get spooked by Halloween decorations and now, thanks to his training, he walks by even the most outrageous yard displays without a care. Helping guarantee his and my safety as well as that of other dogs and humans was well worth the investment of time and money.

If you're looking for a place to board your dog, look no further. This is place is 10/10. All the employees have a passion for their jobs and truly love all the dogs there. When I leave my pup for daycare or for over night boarding, I know he will have a great time and I don't have to worry about him for a second. The staff even emails update pictures and/or videos of your dogs day. The staff really goes above and beyond not only for your dog but for you too. We also did the e-collar training with Ricky and whoa. That has changed our lives only in positive ways. First learning that the collar is like a tens unit and not hurting our pup was huge. I didn't like the idea at first but after speaking to Vanessa and Ricky and watching youtube videos on it, I started thinking differently about it. Ricky doesn't only train your pup but also takes the time to train you on how to train your pup. Including 3 training sessions with you and your pup 1 on 1. Amazing. I can't say enough about this place. For sure check them out. They are more than happy to answer any questions and really take their time with you. Even with this scary dog coughing virus that's going around. The staff is prepared and keeps up to date with the community in town to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while in their care.

At first, I was reluctant to bring my dog to EPT, because of the cost. It was so worth it! Ricky and the gang go above and beyond with the dogs. They love them and genuinely want what is best for your dog. The E-collar training worked for my dog who was fearful of and aggressive to other dogs. My dog, Charlie wasn't totally trained at the end of the sessions. I feel confident that I can continue training him to make him feel protected and not fearful using the EPT methods.

Jen was great! We made arrangements with the understanding plans might slightly change on my part. She was receptive as she was sitting other dogs but I was respectful of her time. We were in communication b4 meeting up and leading towards picking our babies up from her location. My two dogs took to her right off the bat, even though my female dog is typically very leery of strangers.They behaved as if they knew her for a long time. When we picked them up they happily ran towards us, but kept looking back at her. We could tell they enjoyed their time with her. I definitely recommend her and definitely will use her again if/when I find I’m in her area again. Thank you again Jen! 💐🐶 ❤️🐶

I am so happy I found Jen! Our dog is a rescue and can be very nervous and suffers from separation anxiety. Jen welcomed her with open arms and always goes above and beyond to accommodate her needs. Our dog absolutely loves her and I have zero worries when I leave her with Jen. Jen has also saved the day several times when we needed a last minute per sitter. She is kind and an animal lover. She also sends pics and updates which I love! I would recommend her to anyone with any type of dog.

I cannot say enough good things about Jen & her daughter, AZ. They were AMAZING!!! I was coming up to Santa Barbara for a wedding, and wanted to bring my fur babies along for the fun weekend. I found a pet friendly air bnb, but the rules were that I could not leave my dogs alone. Thank goodness for Jen! I was SO worried as I don't trust just anyone with my dogs. From the first time I called in and spoke to Jen, I could tell immediately that I really liked her. I was able to book her for both Friday & Saturday night for wedding festivities. Jen, who is fully insured, showed up early to meet "the girls". My two shy Italian greyhounds instantly fell in love with her (they usually take a while to warm up to strangers). This made me feel SO comfortable to leave them. She truly has a way with animals! Jen sent me photos throughout the night, which was great! I had the pleasure of meeting Jen's daughter the following night, who was equally as sweet and just as good with animals. The girls loved her too! Jen & AZ saved my weekend. They made my trip that much better!!! I cannot thank them enough! I highly recommend Jen's services. She is extremely professional, kind, funny, and an all around good person. My dogs loved her & AZ! Thank you Jen & AZ for making my life that much sweeter! I will def be recommending you to anyone and everyone I know that's planning a trip up to SB that needs a pet sitter.

Best dog sitter we have had for years. We travel a lot and at times need a sitter in the hotels the be with our schnauzer. She is getting old and needs TLC. Jen is amazing friendly and most of all I could tell she loves animal's and they love her. Do not hesitate to hire her for your pet. You and your pet will be very glad. Dubby

Had to leave town for work with short notice, no place to take my 2 dog's....Called Jen and she was vary accommodating on short notice, watch both my dog's for 3 days!!!!..fees are vary reasonable. Will use her again but will try and give more notice (:

Thank you Wasim! 💗🐾 …

Not a client, false review

I don't know who this is, no matching email or client name?

I was so happy to find Mary and PamperPet. I know when I go away my 4 cats will be well cared for as well as my home. She truly loves animals and will go out of her way to make sure they get the best care. She keeps in touch sending photos of the cats and leaves detailed notes so I know just what they were up to! She is so kind, professional and lovely to work with! One of the best pet sitters I have had.

Mary Scott (Pamper Pet) is hands down the best cat lover I ever hired to take care of my special beloved cat Chase for the last couple of years of his life. She was completely reliable, and she took care of him as if he were her very own. She even took care of him when he became terminally ill with kidney disease. Her billing system was prompt and accurate, and she left me notes daily on how he was doing and sent me texts and photos of him daily. He was always happier when I returned from a trip if he had been taken care of by Mary. She grew very fond of him, and she came over to help me on the morning when I had to take him to the vet for euthanasia. We both pampered him and soothed him; she took some treasured photos of me holding him, and we cried together. This prepared me for when my significant other came to take me to take me and Chase to the vet for the last time. I am deeply grateful for all that she did so well to help him, to love him, and to help me.

Finally, a pet care service that provides total peace of mind! We can't say enough about the quality of care Mary and her team at PamperPet provide. They are conscientious, caring and make us feel totally comfortable leaving our loved ones for either quick or extended trips. Love the text messages and photos we receive while we are away, and the very detailed diary of their visits when we return. Our two cats love them too! Highly recommend.

A joy to work with. We have complete and total confidence in Colleen. She’s 100% reliable; very communicative (we get a daily update by text, together with photos of our babies, as well as a written report that’s waiting for us when we got home); and very, very responsive. We hate to leave our cats when we go out of town, but it’s obvious from the pictures Colleen sends us that they’re perfectly happy to have her take our place.

They watched my grandmas dog while she was in the hospital. It was a huge weight off my moms shoulders. Such a relief to have people we could count on.

Santa Barbara Pets Sitters are just SO awesome! They go above and beyond when caring for our entire Critter Crew. (chickens and Bearded Dragon) Each sitter shows excellent attention to every detail with a true love for all animals! Communication is outstanding every step of the way! Our family has used their services twice and couldn't be more pleased! We highly recommend SB Pet Sitters and will be using their services again very soon!

I highly recommend Santa Barbara Pet Sitters. When the sitter I had reserved weeks before bailed on me days before my upcoming trip, I called them and Tracy found the perfect sitter for me. Angela was professional throughout and sent photos and kept me informed about the outcomes of her visits and walks with my pets while I was gone. I’ll definitely be calling them again!

Santa Barbara Pet Sitters is wonderful! We feel so lucky to have found them! Cris is fantastic!

Revised: My pup went there for boarding. On the last day of her stay she was vomiting a lot so they took her into the vet. The staff escorted her to two different vets. Tests were ran. She was fine, her stomach was just upset about the change in diet. Overall, most staff were friendly and cared for Pepper. I did speak to the owner personally about not feeling listened to by a staff about my dogs water possessiveness. They were accountable, caring, and passionate about pet care. Seems very proactive with her company. Nice to know it is family owned. My pup did come home with two punctures on her back inner thigh and chest unfortunately. The yards are supervised, but you cant see everything I understand. Yards are a bit on the smaller side but clean.

I’ve just started using camp canine with my puppy German shorthair pointer named arrow. The staff is INCREDIBLE. They are so sweet and kind I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving my dog somewhere. She always come back with a smile :) and it’s such a pleasure to know she’s well watched and taken care of. They are attentive and facilities are super clean. Recommended all around

I've been bringing my dog Pepperoni to Camp Canine for day camp, baths and boarding since adopting him from a shelter two years ago. He loves going there! He starts getting excited when we get close. Always eager to see his friends there. And I've had only positive experiences with the staff. A very well-managed business clearly run by dog-lovers!

While visiting Santa Barbara I found camp Canine. The staff was very friendly and helpful with all of my questions. The environment for dogs was so fun. The big dog section even has their own pool area. They will check to be sure your pet has their shots so bring your records. No appointment necessary.

This place is truly amazing!! Wish there were more places like this. Our pup had the best time at Camp. The staff are all amazing and all of them truly love dogs. The camp itself is gorgeously amazing for dogs. I can not stop talking about this place. Its clean and so well run. Thanks again from Elvis

First and last time overnight boarding for our family.from the rude reception at drop off to having our dog returned to us so dirty, his little face has massive tear stains from crying. Oh and he was starving!! And Who charges to bring their own dog’s food? Especially since our Frenchie is allergic to their food! $10 a day on top of an $85 per night charge!! Very disappointing all around. Our dog came home absolutely exhausted. Never again!!

Camp Canine is where our dog is happiest!

I wish there were more places like Camp Canine in the region! Every staff member I interacted with on the phone and in person was so kind, calm and patient; and even my extra nervous pup spent very little time acclimating between when we walked in to when I handed him off. When you walk in, it feels like you're dropping your pup off at a friend's home with a lovely backyard. I especially loved catching a glimpse of him enjoying himself outside when I came back back to get him 6 hours later. Above all, I loved that when I picked him up, he didn't have that smell that says, "I've been at daycare all day!" I can't wait to drop my little one off again soon!

Beckett absolutely loves Camp Canine... All of the staff is incredibly kind and patient and well well trained on how to care for animals their training skills are top notch and you won't find a better place anywhere in the area if you need to be away from your pet puppy. I highly recommend popping in and checking out the Disneyland for dogs. Tell them Beckett sent you

I will spare y'all the hundred word essay. I drive my dogs up from Long Beach anytime I go out of town for work. A+ without this place I don't know what I would do, I love my dogs so id have to quit my job. I've tried other closer options they are all horrid and if the only option was to use something like LA dog works or be homeless I'd be homeless. So thanks camp canine for keeping my emotional triggers from leading me to poverty.

Britta has been a complete joy to work with these last 8 months! Our pup used to go to a boarding facility in LA when we were out of town, but we recently moved to Santa Barbara and couldn't find a facility we trusted. We decided it was time to have a more personalized experience for our dog when we are gone and that is how we found dogs best friend! The consultation was so easy and sold us on britta's services! Britta is super responsive and even sends photo updates while she walks our pup (good for all your smother mothers out there)! We have had nothing but great experiences and couldn't be more thankful!

Brittany is awesome and I have recommended her to other people who thought she was absolutely wonderful!!! She really listens to you to understand your needs and concerns for your pets and treats each pet she works with as if they are her own. Brittany is a true professional, has the knowledge and experience to deal with many temperaments of dogs, and is considerate about every detail that goes into watching your pet, such as brushing your pet after an outing, making sure they are clean, checking paws for foxtails, etc. She also happens to be one of those people that dogs love almost instantly – even dogs that aren’t very people oriented. If you are looking for a pet-sitter/dog walker/great dog person you can really trust with your beloved four-legged family members, look no further than Dog's Best Friend.

We were in Montecito for the summer and when I was in need for a dog sitter I found Dogsbestfriend on the internet. When Brittany came over I was pleasantly surprised that she came prepared with a lot of questions which made me feel reassured that my dog Ago was in good hands. She's very professional and clearly loves pet. I loved the fact that on one of her walks she took a picture and sent it to me. When my boss was in need of a dog sitter I recommended Brittany without hesitation. Next summer Dogsbestfriend will be the one I'll call when I need someone to take care of my dog.

Hiring Brittany and Dog's Best Friend has been great for my dog Soda. Although somewhat wary of strangers, Soda quickly warmed up to Brittany. Some days I am working from home when Brittany comes to pick up Soda and take her out for her doggie social and as soon as she hears Brittany step on to the front porch, Soda runs enthusiastically to the door, knowing that she is about to head out for a good time with her buddies. When Brittany drops her off a couple of hours later, I can tell that Soda has expended a bit of energy and she's immediately ready for a nap. One of my best experiences with Brittany came under very stressful circumstances for myself. I was about to take Soda out for a walk when I opened the front gate and watched helplessly as she sprinted into the street and got hit by a car. Within seconds, she was on her feet and sprinting away. I chased after her to no avail and in a panic, I was calling all of the friends I could think of to help me look for her and no one was picking up. Finally, I thought to call Brittany and she dropped what she was doing and immediately came to help me look for her. Brittany also had the wherewithal to call the Santa Barbara dispatch and local veterinary hospitals. It was a harrowing experience for me and having somebody there to help me and provide emotional support was invaluable. Fortunately, Soda made her way home after being gone all day and I'm happy to report that after a few days rest she was eagerly looking forward to getting back out with Brittany and her buddies for her doggie socials!

Truly a 5-star experience with this loving and highly professional pet care specialist. My pups loved her and she instantly bonded with them, so I knew I had made the right choice, for my vacation plans. Highly recommended for your own pets needs.

I could not be more pleased. Britta was kind, professional, reliable, affordable, and communicative...exactly the sort of person who you can trust with your house keys and pet. She sent texts and pics nearly every day and went out of her way to make things right for our dog and us.
