Pet Sitting Mar Vista

“Emma took great care of our cats Frutiger and Lazuli while we were away on vacation! She was very communicative and made sure our cats were happy. 5/5 would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!”

“We entrusted Mickie to look after our dear son. It was our first time ever using Rover or any kind of pet sitting service so we were super nervous but Mickie made sure we felt safe and comfortable by understanding all of Kobe’s unique needs and fulfilling everything we needed of her! Mickie is an excellent pet sitter and I would rebook with her without question!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals since childhood. I grew up in Colombia helping my grandmother on her farm, where I cared for dogs, cats, chickens, horses, pigs, and cows. That experience taught me respect, patience, and love for animals of all kinds. My strongest experience is with dogs. I have been caring for my own Pomeranian for over 11 years, and for the past 2 years I have also provided paid pet care for my friend’s dogs. I have experience with puppies as young as 5 months old, as well as senior dogs. One of the most meaningful experiences in my life was caring for my friend’s 13-year-old dog, Layla, during her final days while she was battling liver cancer. Being able to support her with love, comfort, and close attention reinforced my commitment to compassionate pet care. I currently work as a bookkeeper, mostly from home, which allows me to organize my schedule flexibly. This makes it easy for me to provide attentive pet sitting, boarding, and companionship during the day. I generally prefer pet sitting in the owner’s home, but I am also open to short stays in my home, such as weekends, depending on the situation. Longer stays can be discussed if needed. I believe pets are family, and I treat them with the same love and respect I give my own dog. I enjoy talking to dogs, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and emotionally comfortable, especially in new environments. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding routines, medication, walking schedules, and special needs. Regarding food, I prefer to feed pets only the food provided by the owner. If authorized, I am happy to prepare or purchase food following the owner’s exact instructions. I pay close attention to each dog’s condition, preferences, and sensitivities. Dogs in my care are never left unattended. Owners are welcome to bring their dog’s favorite toys, bed, or blanket to help them feel at home. With owner approval, I also enjoy taking dogs to nearby parks so they can enjoy fresh air and gentle exercise.

“Came through last minute to help me out, took great care of my cat and dog. Highly recommend. Sent pics, made sure both were fully cared for.”

About: From a young age, I have always had a strong affection and love towards dogs, always wanting to volunteer at local shelters, visit extended family’s houses with a prime intention of hanging out with their pet, doggysit close friends’ pups when they go out of town, or foster dogs giving them a break from cage life and trying to help them get adopted. I am an active, loving and caring dog sitter who loves giving them all the attention and love they deserve. I'm comfortable caring for a wide range of personalities, ages and sizes, treating every dog like it's my own and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy while their owners are away! I'm currently back home from college for holiday break, so I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week! I am most ideally available in the early afternoons between 11am-2pm but I can definitely work around different schedules that work best for you and your pup! I have a large, fenced backyard with lots of grass and space for your pup to run around in or just sunbathe in! Whether in my home or yours, I am very attentive to caring for each dog and their individual needs with a goal to always to keep them happy, healthy and stress-free!

“Annalisa is an amazing dog sitter. She helps with training and is very accommodating with anything that needs to be done to make sure the dogs are happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

About: After nine years in the corporate world at Google, I’ve stepped away to focus on my passions—with animals at the top of the list. My favorite workday moments were always the same: seeing dogs at the office or coming home to my own two. So, transitioning to professional pet care was a natural next step. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses for friends, family, and colleagues. With me, your pet will be treated like a member of my family and, most importantly, receive the highest level of care. Weekday Availability: I am fully available Monday through Friday. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a medication schedule, or consistent check-ins, I have the capacity to be there. Weekend Flexibility: I am available for the vast majority of weekends, so I am here to help when you have travel plans or just need a little extra support during your days off. Safety and comfort always come first, and that starts with understanding your pet and your routine. Because every pet is unique, I tailor my care to their specific needs and your instructions. You can always count on consistent updates with photos, and I am available to address any questions or concerns you may have.

About: Hello! I discovered my passion for pet care as an auntie to friend' dogs and looking after them, which quickly grew into a thriving, word-of-mouth pet-sitting service built entirely on trust and stellar referrals. I know how stressful it is to leave your pets behind, and my primary goal is to give you total peace of mind. I am highly adaptable and experienced with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to stubborn 80-pound Bulldogs. Pup mamas often tell me they won't leave their doggos with anyone else because of the deep personal attention and kind care I provide. I look forward to giving your dog or cat that same elite level of focus and attention. And of course, sending you plenty of pupdates. I work as a personal fitness trainer, meaning my client sessions are split with natural gaps throughout the day. Because I am only away for short blocks of two to four hours max at a time, I can easily accommodate early morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins. This flexible, active routine allows me to easily fit into your pet's established schedule without long gaps in their care. I am also fully available for overnight house-sitting bookings on weekdays AND weekends, providing your pet with dedicated companionship and structure while you are away. I provide pet care exclusively within the comfort and familiarity of your own home, as I do not host animals in my personal residence. This environment ensures your pet stays relaxed, stress-free, and safe in their own territory without the disruption of changing settings. When house sitting or doing drop-ins, I strictly follow your specific security instructions, ensure all doors and gates remain securely locked, and can easily crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine. And of course, you get regular pup-dates.

“My regular cat sitter was not available for the dates I needed, so this was my first time booking Kalee. She is very sweet and reliable. My elderly cat is taking several oral medications and eats a special diet. She carefully followed all my instructions. I would definitely use her again if needed.”

Liz W.

“Hannah was amazing! This was my first time booking through Rover and I had to leave on short notice, so was hesitant. She responded promptly and thoroughly. She was able to see drop-in and check on Lucy the same day! Will definitely be booking with Hannah again. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi! I’m Carmen, I am I life-long animal lover and I specialize in caring for small, medium and senior, or low-energy dogs who thrive in a slow-paced, cozy environment. Whether your pup needs boarding or day care, they’ll get lots of one-on-one attention, walks, naps, and a calm daily rhythm. I only take one guest dog at a time to keep things peaceful and personal. I work from home, so I’m around to provide steady companionship, regular potty breaks, and lots of love throughout the day. What I Offer: • One guest dog at a time • Small/medium breeds or seniors only • Quiet, low-stress environment • Ideal for shy, anxious, or elderly dogs • Frequent photo updates • Quick communication • Lots of attention I would love to meet your pup and help them feel right at home. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to see if we’re the right fit! I work from home, so I’m able to give lots of attention throughout the day. My schedule is consistent, which creates a relaxed environment for visiting dogs. Walks, meals, and cuddle breaks easily fit into my daily rhythm—and my chihuahua Cathy is always happy to have a friend around. Because I only take one dog at a time, each pup gets focused, attention in a peaceful setting. In my home, I offer a safe space where dogs can relax. I keep the environment quiet and low-stress, with soft bedding, plenty of fresh water, walks, and companionship. If I’m caring for a pet in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure your pet feels secure and well cared for in their own environment. I follow feeding, walk, and medication instructions carefully, and I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“Meng did an amazing job taking care of our two cats. Not only did they follow all the instructions and adjust the house temperature during the unexpectedly hot days, but they also spent time playing with them and lured them out to make sure they were okay. Thank you so much”

Eunie P.

“Molly was absolutely wonderful with our two cats. She took great photos and fun (and detailed) notes that helped relieve some of our anxiety at being apart from our babies. I left a detailed to-do list for her as well and she followed it perfectly. We would certainly book with her again!”

About: I've taken care of a variety of animals, reptiles and cats included, who have different needs such as big dogs, small dogs, active dogs, some with medication needs, or even rowdy cats who like to escape. My focus is always on the animal and to make sure they can feel at home while their parent is away. Im a community college student and I work a flexible part time. I have my own car, and manage my time very well and am always open for pet care, as I often plan around the pet parents rules for their babies. I have two dogs in my home, both are potty trained so it is my job to make sure that they are taken out for walks or potty breaks on time, and fed at the right time to avoid any mishaps. I treat any dogs I'm watching like my own, and make sure to play with them whenever I'm with them and make sure they feel loved.

“Sarah was an excellent caretaker. She was very flexible in orchestrating key pick up and sent plenty of photos of our babies. Looking forward to working with her again in the future! Would highly recommend her!”

Sarah M.

“Chieh was an excellent cat sitter! She was a great communicator and Lola warmed right up to her. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

Janel L.

“Roxane was awesome! Very communicative and followed complex feeding/care instructions super well. Grateful to have someone so kind to look after Scout while I’m gone. Definitely will be booking with Roxane again :)”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the Midwest, I was the kid rescuing frogs from neighbors’ window wells after rainstorms and carefully caring for injured baby birds before returning them to the wild. That deep love and respect for animals has stayed with me throughout my life. I’ve lived with pets most of my life and have cared for three dogs and a cat of my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, relaxed, and loved while their humans are away. I have experience with a range of dogs including senior dogs, dogs post surgery, and puppies in training. I’ll apologize in advance if I say hello to your dog before I say hello to you! Professionally, I’m a researcher at University of California, Los Angeles, and I bring that same level of responsibility, attentiveness, and reliability into pet care. I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are when someone is caring for your pets and home. I’m also a responsible homeowner and have lived in the Midwest, Southeast, and Pacific Northwest, so I’m comfortable caring for homes in different environments and routines. I’m respectful of people’s spaces, detail-oriented, and aim to leave both pets and homes happy, clean, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, I’m able to prioritize pet care throughout my day. I plan my schedule around walks, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so pets receive consistent care and attention. Being home during the day also means pets aren’t left alone for long periods and can stick closely to their normal routines. Pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Because I work remotely, I’m home frequently and able to notice quickly if something seems off with a pet’s behavior, appetite, or energy. If a concern comes up, I’ll first contact the owner right away to keep them informed and follow any instructions they’ve provided. If veterinary care is needed, I’m comfortable transporting pets to a vet or emergency clinic and making sure they get prompt care. I’ve had pets my whole life—including three dogs and a cat—so I’m very used to paying attention to small changes that might indicate a pet needs extra care or attention. I’m also careful about maintaining routines, monitoring food and water, and creating a calm environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away. Clear communication is really important to me, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is for owners to feel completely at ease knowing their pet is being cared for attentively and responsibly.

About: I've loved and cared for animals since I was a child. I have experience with all different kinds of animals, but dogs truly are my best friend. I grew up around many different types of dogs in the house and know specific needs of different breeds. I adopted two dogs who are rescues and very reactive so I have day to day experience with dogs who need speciality care and attention when out on walks. I'm extremely reliable and have a warm personality which is perfect for loving your pets while you are away. I love to be outside and spend as much time as I can with pups playing and having a great day. I’m a Reiki Master Practitioner which add an element of calm to my encounters with animals. These sessions are available to your pet as well and can benefit them in multiple ways. Can’t wait to meet your pet! I’m working part time right now so I have flexibility to be there for your pet even on a short notice. I can no longer board with my dogs currently but last minute walks and drop by’s are my specialty day or night I always welcome any suggestions and specificities clients have. I’m very particular about my own babies and want to provide that as well. The walks I designed are based on my daily walks I do with my dogs but I am available to provide you the style or type your dog prefers. I always provide a photo too of us out and about. I’m really good at capturing animals in the moment 🫶🏽
