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: Dogs are just cute little angels on this earth, and I adore every single one of them! I have owned and been around dogs since I was 9 years old, giving me a lifetime of experience with all personality types—from high-energy pups who love to play ball in the park and tug-of-war in the living room, to "velcro" dogs who are attached right at your hip. I am highly experienced with specialized care, including administering medications, enforcing new training habits, and safely caring for blind, deaf, or older senior pups who just want the sweetest cuddles. Please ask me any questions you have—I am more than happy to answer them and can't wait to meet your pup! I currently work from home and I have a flexible schedule so I am able to go for a walk and take them outside to play often. I make sure that all their physical needs are met on a daily basis and that they get a good balance of play and rest.

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 know how important it is to trust who you allow to care for your dog. I am an experienced pet caregiver and regular foster to rescue dogs in Los Angeles with a heart especially in tune with the necessary care and attention needed for rescue dogs, puppies, senior dogs, post-surgery recovery, separation anxiety, and behavioral traits like reactivity from sometimes unfortunate pasts. I am passionate about providing gentle, attentive, loving care with patience, positive reinforcement, routine, respect and a lot of pets/snuggles/play depending on each individual dog’s needs and personality! I prioritize creating a safe and calm environment for each and every dog and believe that my grounded, calm, positive and loving energy is the best place to start while getting to know your pup. I am a big fan of communication and sending updates, pictures and videos while your family member is in my care. I regularly foster dogs and when I am not fostering, I take care of senior dogs. I work remotely so I have ample time to dedicate towards pet care - which is my passion, heart and soul. I am available daily and offer overnights! I have a fenced yard and a dog friendly, secured patio space. I am currently not fostering so have time and space to dog sit, walk, check in on, or overnight. 6 months out of the year I care for my family's senior dogs, who are also registered therapy/service dogs. They are a 14 year old Aussie Bernese and a 17 year old Morkie who like to sleep, go on neighborhood walks, and cuddle. They love when other dogs get to stay and play with them.

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: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals! 🐾💕 With over 15 years of experience caring for my own and friends pets, I understand that our furry babies are more than just pets—they’re family! Throughout the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I have also been able to provide appropriate medical care like: daily medicine, asthma treatment, ear medicine, etc. Whether it’s going on walks, extra care, playtime, feeding, cuddling, or simply keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m naturally patient, attentive, responsible, and affectionate. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide the same level of love, attention, and care that I would want for my own pets. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry babies! 🐶🐱💕 I am currently working part-time so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your babies. I can go at different times in your day. I am able to take care of your pets at your own home as you see fit. As a mom of two cats, I usually give a lot of instructions and I am happy to follow your own requirements for your babies

About: Hi! I’m Sophie and I would love to take care of your pup! Taking care of animals brings me so much happiness, and having the opportunity to add one more to my life is always a good time. I'll make sure to treat your pup as my own, no matter how long or short the stay. I do live with a lovely Bernadoodle (my roommate’s dog) who would love to have a friend to hang out with. No stay is too short or long, please feel free to reach out with any questions! I am currently working full time but dogs are welcome (and preferred!) in my office, so if boarding is needed they can come with me. I live in a safely protected apartment with lots of space for your pup to roam and hang out. I’m very attentive to their needs and love going on walks to make sure they’ve got their much needed exercise!

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep passion for their care. From a Yellow Lab to a fluffy white Coton, I've lovingly cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Working entirely from home, dog sitting is the ideal role for me, allowing me to be available and flexible to accommodate any schedule or pet size. I pride myself on being more than just a sitter—I'm a devoted companion, fully attentive to each dog's unique needs. I have been taking care of my family's dog for two months while my parents have been traveling. We are sad to see Nugget go and want to continue having furry babies around. I work entirely from home, which means I'm available throughout the week to look after your beloved pups! If your puppy requires more personalized attention or a quieter and safer environment than what a doggy daycare offers, I'm the perfect fit for you. My flexible schedule allows me to easily take your dog for walks, engage in playful activities, or provide a relaxing environment for rest and rejuvenation. I have experience caring for senior dogs, providing them with the specific accommodations they need, such as administering medication and assisting with mobility.

About: Years with my own dog taught me that dogs have a few universal talents: finding the muddiest puddle, convincing you they haven’t eaten in days five minutes after dinner, and making every walk an adventure. Volunteering at a shelter reminded me that behind all those funny moments is something even more important—every dog wants to feel safe, understood, and loved. I’ve become pretty fluent in “dog language.” 🐶 That’s why I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and earn their trust. I think it’s the best part of spending time with them. My skills: * Understanding dog behavior and body language * Building trust with dogs of different personalities * Patient and gentle handling * Caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments * Following detailed care instructions * Providing companionship, play, and attention My schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and giving each dog the individual attention they need. I understand that dogs feel happiest and most comfortable when they can keep their familiar routine. I do my best to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment that feels as close to home as possible while their family is away. I work full-time, seven days a week, so I’m available to provide reliable and consistent care for your pets whenever you need it. Before caring for your pet, I like to learn the little details that make them unique — their favorite activities, walking habits, how they communicate, and what helps them feel comfortable. During each walk, visit, or house sitting stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing how your furry friend is doing. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with someone they trust!

Samanta was so professional, responsive, and kind from the moment we connected. She made going out of town without our kitties for the first time a breeze. She made sure they were happy, got fun playtime in, and all was well with food and the litter robot. She even tidied up the house before we returned. I can’t imagine a better cat sitter!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pacific Palisades

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pacific Palisades is $36 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $54 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 18,086 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pacific Palisades. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pacific Palisades. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
