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.
“Mallory was wonderful and a true life saver! Work came up and nobody was able to be home with Moose for his mid day walk. Mallory accepted a super last minute request and was even willing to walk him a second time on the spot when I realized I’d be away even longer. She was very communicative and shared lovely pictures that prove Moose enjoyed her company. Thank you!”
“She is amazing!! Have used her so many times for my pup and Ivy loves her! And she’s so observant and always makes sure my dog is taken care of and has water after walks on hot Cali days”
About: I have over 40 years of experience caring for pets, including walking dogs, cuddling cats, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, playtime, and giving animals lots of love and attention. I’m especially patient and gentle with elderly pets who may need extra care, comfort, or a slower pace. What sets me apart is how affectionate and attentive I am. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re part of the family. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship, a clean litter box, or just someone kind and reliable to love them while you’re away, I will care for them with warmth, patience, and respect. I’m semi-retired and work part-time as a senior companion, so my schedule is flexible. I have plenty of time to do what I love: caring for animals, including my own dog, my children’s pets, and Rover pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on many weekends. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully, refresh food and water, clean litter boxes if needed, give plenty of affection, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. For walks, I’ll keep your dog safely leashed, go at their pace, and pay close attention to their comfort, energy level, and surroundings. I’m gentle, patient, and especially careful with senior pets or animals who need extra reassurance.
“Megan graciously accepted my very last-minute request to walk our dog. She was very responsive and even cleaned up after my dog. I would definitely reach out to her again. Highly recommended!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old! I grew up with an English lab (VINNIE). I have a dog of my own, who is full of joy , love, and energy. He is a toy poodle. Animals have always been attracted to me because of my warm personality and affection. I am a model signed with a large agency in LA. I have lots of down time when I am not shooting, so my day is wide open for walks :) I am very clean and organized, making sure that your doggie has everything he/she needs to be comfortable and happy. All I need is the leash, and we will be on our way for the walk:)
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have always enjoyed company of an animal. I have also helped neighbors with their dogs with feeding, walks, and accompanying them. I am capable of lifting dogs of higher weights in the case it’s necessary. I am actively looking for work as such, I can be available at any time in the day and all week long when requested to do a service. I have my own dog who gets walked an ample distance a day and play within the house. As for a potential clients animal, I would follow all given instructions and make sure the animal is well cared for during the time I am there.
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.
“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 have a deep love for dogs and hands-on experience caring for a variety of pups! I regularly dog-sit for family members, including energetic poodles and smaller breeds, so I know how to handle different personalities and energy levels. What truly sets me apart is my experience with specialized care. I helped care for my grandmother’s dog when his hind legs stopped working, becoming fully comfortable managing a dog who uses a wheelchair for mobility. Because of this, I am incredibly patient, attentive, and confident when it comes to senior dogs or pets with special physical needs. Your pup will be in safe, loving, and understanding hands! I'm currently working remote, so I will have plenty of time dedicated to your pups! I have boarding availability on the weekdays. I can walk dogs at any time during the day. In my home, your pup will have the perfect mix of relaxation and outdoor fun! I have two spacious patios with plenty of room for dogs to lounge safely in the fresh air or stretch their legs. Best of all, I live right next to a park, making it incredibly easy to take your dog out for frequent, fun walks and sniffing adventures. My space is secure, cozy, and setup to feel like a home away from home.
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: As a freelance writer, my schedule allows me to house-sit and pet-sit for many of my friends. I've been watching dogs and cats of all kinds for over 20 years. Dogs and cats love me! I like to make sure the animals in my care and having fun and get a lot of attention. As a freelance writer, I am generally available at any time. In some cases, I may be able to accept a job on the same day. I have an apartment with a patio, and plenty of toys! I enjoy being outdoors and love to take dogs for walks, to the park, or to their favorite places. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention and playing with them.
“Prompt response. Very caring and shows she cares for dogs. Birutė is very personable, very diligent in following instructions and shows she is committed to taking good care of my pup. She was punctual, sent me quick feedback about her contact with my dog, asked questions appropriately. I would highly recommend!”
About: I grew up on a farm, and have been around livestock and pets my whole life. I have spent a lot of time training and raising dogs. I just moved to Santa Monica after living on Oahu the last 4 years. I have a very flexible schedule, & look forward to gaining a friend in your dog! I am available Friday afternoons and can stay the night. I am also able to stay overnight on Saturdays, and be there all day Sunday. I will care for any pets just as I would my own. I will listen to the guidance given to me by the owners, and follow all of those instructions to the best of my ability.
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 🥰
“This was my first week using Todd and Rover in general, and he went up and beyond my expectations. He worked really well with my schedule, and my pup liked him right away. He even does a bit of walk training on the walks, amazing!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pacific Palisades
Jason has watched my baby Dodger twice and it’s a stellar experience each time. He’s thoughtful, thorough and very reliable. He makes sure your pet has everything they need as well as what they can/can’t have. He brought in a package of mine too, which I really appreciated. Never disappointed with Jason, 5 stars!
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!
Bijal is amazing! From the moment we had our meet and greet, it was obvious that Bijal would be a great match to help out with my dog. This was further exemplified by her willingness to go above and beyond to make sure my dog was OK when he had some issues on a walk. She is extremely communicative, responsive, and empathetic. Remy and I are so thankful for Bijal!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Pacific Palisades. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Pacific Palisades.

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.
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. 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pacific Palisades. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
