About: I grew up with dogs and cats in the home and miss having a little friend around. I recently was a dog / house sitter through WorkAway in New Zealand and loved being able to see a new area on walks with a pet. In high school I volunteered with Michelson Found Animals Shelter as well as Best Friends Animal Society in Utah for a Summer. I love all animals - every shape, color, and size! I'm currently living at home for the Summer after spending the year traveling in New Zealand and unemployed. I've got all the time in the world to spend time with your pet outside of hanging out with my family. I'm very diligent and know I can keep your pet safe. I am happy to give them freedom to roam or make sure they stay in your preferred safe zones - whatever you tell me is best!
About: About Me: Hi, I’m Lucinda! I provide small-group, in-home dog boarding in Pacific Palisades for families in Brentwood, Santa Monica, Malibu, and surrounding West LA areas. Why Dogs (and Owners) Love Staying Here 🐾 Intentionally small group setting 🌿 Large, fully fenced private yard 🧠 Experienced with high-energy and anxious dogs ❤️ Individualized attention, never a kennel environment Caring for dogs isn’t just what I do, it’s what I love. My goal is simple: when you’re away, your dog feels completely safe, engaged, and cared for, not “boarded.” The Environment: Dogs have access to a large, secure backyard where they can run and play on natural grass. Inside, the home is engaging and structured so dogs who need attention or routine feel supported. Special Experience: • Large breeds • High-energy dogs • Dogs with mild anxiety • Pups who need confidence-building or are "still learning" Every dog is treated like family, with consistency and affection so they feel secure while you’re away. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re safe, engaged, and happy. — Lucinda I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Walks outside in nature, structured playtime in the large yard, rest breaks, and meals are part of a steady routine so dogs feel secure and settled. Your pet is never left alone for long stretches and always has supervision and engagement. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I host so every pup receives focused supervision and individualized attention. I follow each dog’s regular routine closely — including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and bedtime habits, so they feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.
About: I grew up around dogs and have had large dogs of my own. This taught me how to care for dogs of all temperaments and how to get to know each dogs preferred walking and play style. I enjoy getting to know each pets rhythms and keeping them conformable as they get their daily exercise. I also offer attentive drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, litter box care, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I provide dependable dog walking and drop-in pet care in Santa Monica for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, and I’m comfortable adapting care to each animal’s routine, personality, and needs. Outside of Rover, I’m a wildlife rescue volunteer and foster parent to cats, which has given me hands-on experience with animals from a wide range of backgrounds and temperaments. Whether it’s regular dog walking in Santa Monica or reliable drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I am currently on a gap summer before continuing my education, and enjoy pet sitting as a way to save up some money for school between volunteering and working on my summer research project. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to get to know each animal so I can provide care that is tailored to their individual needs, routines, and personality. I care for every pet as if they were my own, always paying attention to their comfort, behavior, and well-being. With experience caring for a wide range of animals, I understand that every pet has unique boundaries and quirks, and I make it a priority to respect those while building trust at their own pace. My goal is to ensure each pet feels secure, understood, and comfortable while in my care.
“Alena was kind, very responsive & communicated throughout the trip making my mind at ease. She asked questions and went above & beyond. Highly recommend! My dog & cat loved her. Thank you Alena!”
“Jessica was amazing! Took great care of my pup with multiple updates throughout the day and went the extra mile to make sure he was happy. Especially loved the extra pictures as well! 10/10 couldn't recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages. I currently foster cats and kittens, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, administering medication, and socialization. I have experience regularly walking both large and small dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and walking styles, whether they prefer a leisurely stroll or a more active outing. I love spending time with animals and my goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m a recent graduate from Pepperdine University currently on summer break before beginning graduate studies, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets whenever best fits into your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings, use secure leash handling, and tailor each walk to your dog’s energy levels and needs. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routing as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and comfort level. Whether they are outgoing or more reserved, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that you pet is happy and well cared for. As a cat foster and lifelong pet owner, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior and ensuring pets stay safe, comfortable, and stress-free.
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember. My last pet, my soul dog Bella, lived to be 18. We traveled the country together and I got the privilege of being her mommy from 8 weeks old to a little over 18. She has changed my life in so many ways and inspired me to help all other animals in need. I’m extremely caring, attentive and loving. I will treat your pet as if it is my own. However, I’m a bit of a spoiler when it comes to animals but I will lead in anyway that you would expect of me. I look forward to connecting with you and more importantly, your fur babies. I’m currently working 4 days a week as an Esthetician but I will always find time for my babies. My favorite time of day is when I get to be at home snuggling my pup and kitty. I always keep a close eye on my pets and keep anything potentially harmful well out of reach. I always pick up on their anxiousness or when they are not feeling well, and will go completely out of my way to make sure they’re ok!

“Lili was truly a life saver when I needed someone to come check on my cat Maisie urgently. She was there within 2 minutes and was super prompt with feeding her, making sure the balcony door was closed, finding her hiding under the bed. It was an urgent situation and I couldn’t have been happier that Lili was up for the job because she went above and beyond. You MUST book for your pets too, she is an expert and great with animals!”
“Liliana agreed to help out last minute and walk our two dogs while we had to be out for a longer time during the day. She always goes above and beyond and they had a great time. Liliana is a natural with dogs.”
About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life, including puppies, seniors and hyper active dogs. I love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, exploring the neighborhood or simply relaxing with company, I make sure they receive the attention and care they need. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I take the time to follow feeding schedules, walking preferences, medication instructions and any special requests to help them feel comfortable while you're away. My English bulldog has to be tucked into his bed every night, so I know a bit about high-maintenance pups haha. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to providing a safe environment where your pet feels happy and cared for. I also believe communication is important, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout our time together. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel confident, comfortable, and stress-free. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care.

I enjoy staying active, so incorporating dog walks and playtime into my daily routine is something I genuinely look forward to.

I treat every home with respect, keep communication open and provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Mallory was very caring and dedicated to meeting the needs of our three dogs. She worked hard to get to know the personalities and quirks of each one of them. She was patient even with our feisty little one and our older, special needs dog!”
About: What sets me apart is decades of hands-on experience and genuine love for animals . Having owned 7 pet shops and cared for everything from horses to exotic birds, I bring unmatched knowledge, compassion, and trust to every pet I care for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. While I am waiting for construction to finish on my new retail store in Santa Barbara, I have extra time and spending it caring for and connecting with animals is something that truly brings me joy and balance every day. I care for pets as if they were my own; with love, patience, and attention to every detail. I cook fresh meals, keep them well-groomed, play fetch, go on walks, and make sure they feel safe, happy and truly cared for. Wether in my home or client's, I treat every pet like family..
About: My pet care experiences ranges from having pets starting at a young age (I have two Beagles currently), to having been a dog-walker for the last 5 years (full-time for 3). When it comes to dog walking, I have worked dogs of all shapes and sizes, from Chihuahuas to Bernese Mountain Dogs. No matter the breed, I love and cherish my time with them. I am a full-time dog walker. The majority of my afternoons are available for walking or drop in visits. My mornings occasionally do have availability, depending on if my recurring walks cancel or reschedule to a later time. When it comes to dog walking, I am very careful when letting myself in and out of a client's home. I am very comfortable with using all sorts of leashes or harnesses and have the experience to deescalate situations when the pet is unsure of a stranger (me) entering his or her home.
About: Animals have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had Blitzen, a shepherd-chow-briard mix who was equal parts protective and sweet, and she shaped the way I think about dogs early on. My family now has Kona, a briard who is basically a giant ball of love. Dogs have always been a big part of my everyday and that’s not something I’d ever want to change. Before joining Rover, I spent a year working at a dog daycare where I was hands-on every day, bathing, feeding, playing, supervising group time, and keeping everything clean and running smoothly. The most valuable part of that experience was learning how to read different temperaments quickly, de-escalate tension between dogs, and prevent conflicts before they started. I got comfortable with a wide range of breeds and personalities, from the easy-going to the reactive, and I know how to keep every dog feeling safe. I work from home running my own business, which means I have genuine flexibility throughout the day. Frequent check-ins, walks, and attention aren’t a stretch, they’re just how my day runs. Your dog won’t be sitting around waiting. I’ve also been around cats my whole life and am comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I always let them come to me on their own terms. I take your routines seriously, keep your home tidy, and send real updates, not just a quick thumbs up. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind are the whole point. I work from home running my own business, which means I have lots of flexibility throughout the day. Frequent check-ins, walks, and attention aren’t a stretch, they’re just how my day runs. Your pet won’t be sitting around waiting. I live in a pet friendly building with many parks and grassy areas for your animal to enjoy. Currently there will be no other pet if boarded at my home and I have access to a fenced yard if your animal is in need of one. I’m well equipped to provide a safe and structured environment for your pet, in their home our mine.
“Meridith is amazing! Entrusted her to visit with our finicky kitty Hawlowe at the last minute. She went above and beyond to make me feel at ease throughout the experience. . She sent photos of her drop-in visits and was extremely easy to communicate with. Her love of animals is palatable and her patience,kindness and sensitivity are off the charts! Very highest recommendation!!”
“Jonathan was great with the dogs and so, so helpful. He took both my dogs for a walk (even though the drop-in was just for one), and bathed Fennec like a pro. It was the dog’s first time getting blow-dried, and he didn’t care for that part. It took both Jonathan and me to hold him and was no easy feat! Friendly, knowledgeable, great with dogs.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Pacific Palisades
Samanta is the absolute best, and I cannot say enough good things about her. We have booked with her several times, most recently for a two-week trip out of the country. She treats our cats as if they were her own and goes above and beyond every single time. During our last trip, I accidentally didn’t leave enough cat food for the duration of our stay away. Without hesitation, Samanta made a special trip to the pet store to buy the exact food our cats eat and made sure they were completely taken care of. Knowing they were in such caring and capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. We would recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.
Round 3 with Michelle and we’re still in love. After our cat Oliver had his seizures and put on a rigorous medication schedule, I thought we’d never travel again. But finding Michelle changed that. She’s been there for us for each trip and we are forever grateful. Thank you, Michelle!
I’m really glad I had Karlie as my cat sitter. My cats seemed very happy and well cared for. Karlie is very sweet, reliable, and respectful—she followed instructions carefully and spent quality time with them. After some disappointing experiences in the past with other sitters on Rover, I finally feel like I found someone I can trust. I would definitely book her again!
Vanessa was fantastic. I was nervous to leave my kitty for over a week during the holidays, but he did great the entire time we were away, because of her care! She was super helpful and made me feel at ease with the report & photos from every visit. Will definitely be requesting her again in the future.
Janel was an excellent caretaker for our cat while we were away for the holidays from start to finish! She is a fantastic communicator, followed all directions, shared detailed updates and photos, and was so sweet and friendly. I highly recommend her as a petsitter! Thank you, Janel!
Daniel was one of the most amazing cat sitters I’ve ever had. He was kind, patient, considerate, fun, and so sweet to my baby angel boy. He understood his needs and watched him as if he were his own. He really took the time to get to know my kitty and respect his boundaries. I don’t trust just anyone with my baby, and I would absolutely ask Daniel to watch him again in the future.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
