Courtney F.

Pet Sitter/ Dog Walker

Meet Courtney, you can usually find her downtown Santa Barbara saying hi to all the dogs and snapping pictures for our Instagram page @sbpetsitters! She loves all animals, but has a special affinity towards big dogs or those that may be considered a little harder to walk. Courtney believes in supporting and relieving clients of worry knowing that their pets are loved and able to be active even with their busy lifestyles. Health and rest is a primary focus in her everyday life and when the dog is walk everyone sleeps better! She enjoys exploring Santa Barbara by finding new hiking trails, training Muay Thai, and trying new downtown restaurants.

SAM E.

Adventure Dog Walker

Meet Samantha, currently a student at the Pacifica Graduate Institute studying Depth Psychology with a specialization in Somatic Studies. Samantha is a yoga teacher who focuses on trauma-sensitive yoga. Pets have always been an important part of Sam’s life. She grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters and even an iguana, and worked in a veterinarian hospital for four years. She currently has one dog, Hanalei, who is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. Hanalei and Sam are usually hiking up a mountain, surfing the waves (yes, Hanalei surfs!), or hanging at the beach studying (ruff life!). Being in the psychology field, Sam knows that pets truly have a positive impact on our mental health, and they deserve all of our love, all the time!

Zoe Z.

Dog Runner/ Pet Sitter

Zoe has been an obsessed with animals of all shapes and sizes her entire life, and has wanted to work with them for as long as she can remember. Her family always had a zoo of animals. It's not surprising that from a young age she decided to pursue a career as a biologist.

She is currently a PhD student at UCSB studying marine science and disease, she gets to work with sea animals on a daily basis. Zoe has been dog, cat, and horse sitting for the past ten years, and she loves the joy she gets from caring for other people's pets.

I have experience with dog behavior, horse training, geriatric and elderly pets, and administration of medicines of all kinds, as well as pet CPR.
