Loving home with big fenced garden

I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life — they’ve always been part of the family. From an early age, I learned what it means to build bonds based on love, trust, and companionship. We’ve used Rover many times for our own dog, Zoey, and were always so grateful for the wonderful care she received. I know how important it is to feel completely at ease when you leave your dog with someone new. You can count on daily updates with photos and videos, and I’ll always be in touch if any questions or concerns come up. My husband, Emre, and our nine-year-old daughter, Omey, are both huge dog lovers too. Omey is at that perfect age where she loves helping with walks and cuddles. We can’t wait to meet your pup and give them lots of love.

Kate and her family looked after Diesel this weekend and were brilliant. They welcomed him like one of their own and sent loads of photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. Diesel came home happy and settled. We'd definitely book with them again.

Kate is a life saver!! I had to find someone to watch Rizzo the day before I was leaving. She was very flexible and offered the perfect place for Rizzo with a backyard space that was a great size. She took great care of her and sent pictures, videos, and updates the entire time I was away. Her dog played SO well with Rizzo. Kate is kind, inviting, and calm. Just a great energy all around. I felt very safe leaving Rizzo with her and will be using her again in the future!

Kate was absolutely incredible! She took amazing care of Pipa, and I couldn’t be more grateful, especially since she stepped in on such short notice. Pipa was happy, well cared for, and I could tell she was in loving hands the entire time. Thank you so much for going above and beyond—I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!

Kate and her family were the most loving and kind home to my furry, little son! He really enjoyed all of the play time, the outdoor space, beach walks, and cuddles he received all weekend. I’m so grateful to Kate and her family for taking such wonderful care of him. If you are looking for boarding services, I’d absolutely recommend them!!

Schedule

My husband and I both work from home, so the dogs can freely move between the house and our safe, securely fenced garden. We go for walks twice a day—morning and evening—and often enjoy longer strolls through our quiet neighborhood or nearby in the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains.

A typical day

I take the dogs for lovely walks around our neighborhood in the morning and evening, and we play fetch in our spacious, fenced backyard. We also love bringing Zoey—and visiting dogs—to the Santa Monica Hills, where we explore the trails.
