About: I’m originally from New Zealand and have recently moved to Santa Monica. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, including Labradors and German Shorthaired Pointers, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I have years of experience dog walking and caring for dogs, including staying in owners’ homes while looking after their dogs. I’m comfortable keeping dogs company, maintaining their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m friendly, reliable and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m an active person and love getting outside for walks, whether your dog enjoys a relaxed stroll around the neighbourhood or a longer walk to burn off some energy. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pup with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’d love to meet your dog and give them plenty of attention, exercise and affection while you’re away! I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to adjust my day around your dog’s needs. I can be flexible with walks, drop-ins and house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine and schedule. I’m extremely reliable, trustworthy and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I have worked as a pet sitter and nanny for several years, and have built strong, long-lasting relationships with the families I’ve worked with. I understand that leaving your pet and home in someone else’s care requires a lot of trust. I take that responsibility seriously and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines, and will treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: Growing up on a farm created my love for animals and attention to their care at an early age. I know the importance of keeping animals in their routine and giving them attention, companionship, and exercise. I love taking my pooch out for walks and would do the same for yours! I’m currently working from home on a personal business so I have flexibility for play and walk times throughout the day. My dog has a twice a day eating routine and we never miss her preferred eating hours 😅 There’s always a water dish set up and dental treats within reach. My pooch has her special nest next to my bed at night. Happy to set up a crate or bed for your pup. Pre-bed time walks are a favorite for us.
“Todd has been an amazing addition to our daily routine! He is always on time for Buddy’s walk and responsive whenever I message him. He works on Buddy’s training while on the walks which I greatly appreciate. I recommend Todd to anyone looking for someone exceptional and reliable to care for their animals.”
About: I had 2 dogs and 4 cats growing up since I was 7 years old! Always have been around a house full of sweet babies. I love all animals<3 I work a remote job. I have a very flexible schedule will usually be okay with day of requests but I prefer to know ahead of time. I am a fast responder and have a car for transportation! I have extra space in my apartment and it’s on the 2nd floor. No balcony, right by a park and walkable streets. Doors shut at all times.

“Mallory was amazing, she is a kind, caring and attentive person. I felt immediately comfortable meeting her and it was a great experience overall! My little Nugget Remy also appreciated her very much!”
“Keitel was incredible! Upon his return, his first words were, “I love your dog!” He said it was such a pleasure to walk Opal. Keitel arrived early, brought her back on time, and took her to 2 parks. He was eager and attentive and listened to my descriptions of her typical actions. I can’t wait for Opal to go on more walks and bond more with Keitel. Hire him!”
About: I love dogs and cats. Happy to care for them in your home or on walks or playdates. They have their own personalities and that is so precious. I have experience with cats, dogs, puppies. It depends on the schedule, but sometimes I work from home so my schedule can be open. Lunch hours are flexible for me, so that is a good daily time for me to do walks and playdates and looking in on cats. I can be flexible about where and when I provide services, but I do need to get some information about clients and their neighborhood before I accept new clients. I will be asking some questions for my own personal comfort and safety. I will do at home visits, in hotel visits, walks, playdates, and at home house-sitting. I will not have pet care in my home as a service. If you live in LA or you are here on vacation, I am here for your dog so you can take a break for work or a social event or a massage or shopping.
“I am very thankful for Kelli. She is always on time, so kind and flexible when we have special requests due to our schedule or home situation. Our dog loves her and so do we. Thanks, Kelli.”

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 with both cats and dogs, so I truly understand how much they mean to a family. I genuinely love caring for animals and always adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I take into account their breed, age, and energy level to make sure they get the right balance of attention, play, and rest. Living in Santa Monica has been amazing—I walk or run by the beach every day, often twice, and it’s even better with a dog by my side. I’m excited to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work remotely from home. That means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I’m here for walk breaks, playtime, and snuggles—making sure your pup feels safe, cared for, and never alone for long. I care for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, calm, and nurturing environment. I follow your pet’s routine, give plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, and always prioritize their comfort, health, and happiness. Every dog is treated like family.
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!
About: Hi! I am a big four auditor completely working from home and just want some extra opportunities to meet with dogs and cats to boost my day! I can always adjust my time to work and am very flexible with my schedules. I love to read books and go hiking in my free time, and I like to discover new coffee shops in my area :) I grew up with dogs and cats and was the main person taking care of them in the house. I have been taking care of my neighbors and friends’ pets when they are out of town for many years and enjoyed those extra puppies and kittens time! I am currently working from home 100%, and can choose to work whenever I want, so I can be very flexible with your schedules. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions! I will first try to make your pet to feel comfortable with me - get close to them slowly, let them smell my hands, and play with them if they want to. I also will try to entertain your pets using different toys, and provide lots of cuddles if they like!
About: Hi! I’m Hasan Farajov, 25 years old, a student who works from home and absolutely loves spending time outdoors. I believe dogs deserve more than just staying inside—so I love going on long walks and hikes with them, especially around Runyon Canyon, which is super close to my home. I truly enjoy creating fun, active, and loving experiences for every pup I care for. Hopefully, as you can see from my pictures, your dog and I will be a perfect match! I work part-time, so I have a lot of free time 👌 My schedule varies, and I set it myself 📆 I am almost always home ☺️ I live in a duplex with neighbors who have very friendly dog and a cat, so your pet can have a company. I have a backyard and live in a spacious house! 😻 Feel free to message me 📩 Rest assured, your furry friend will be in safe and loving hands while you are away 🥰

you can also edit this if you would like Sarah was absolutely amazing with both of my dogs! From the moment she met them, I felt completely comfortable and knew they were in great hands. She was warm, attentive, reliable, and so genuinely caring with them. They both came home happy and tired, which is always the best sign! It can be hard to find someone you truly trust with your dogs, and I’m so happy we found Sarah. I would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely be using her again!
This was Astro’s first time meeting Jonathan and it was a great experience. He was thoughtful about introducing himself and the dogs with him for the walk (as this was also a combo boarding meet and greet) and was able to get great updates and some photos of their little adventure.
Jill is so awesome! She's extremely responsive over chat, flexible when schedules change, and always sends an update with photos after each walk. It's obvious she is passionate about animals and has so much love for my pup. I know my dog is well taken care of when Jill is there.
Kate has been absolutely wonderful with my 18-year-old dog, Dixie. Finding someone I trust with her at this stage of life is incredibly important, and Kate has exceeded every expectation. She is always on time, communicative, and very dependable. More importantly, she is incredibly gentle, patient, and attentive with Dixie, who needs extra care due to her age. Kate understands how to navigate stairs carefully, adjusts the pace of walks to Dixie’s needs, and makes sure she is comfortable every step of the way. Dixie absolutely loves her — and that says everything. Beyond being responsible and professional, Kate is genuinely kind and loving with Dixie. I always feel completely comfortable knowing Dixie is in her care. I highly recommend Kate. She is thoughtful, reliable, and truly exceptional.
Rachel was amazing! She was able to step in last minute and walk my dog, which I really appreciated. It was clear right away that my dog adored her, and when they got back, I could tell he had a great walk and was very happy. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
