Pet Sitting in Pacific Palisades

“Blake is hands down the best pet sitter we’ve had. The biggest proof is Nona’s behavior, when Blake watches her, we come home to a calm, happy dog. With other sitters, Nona sometimes can seem sad or even resentful, but that never happens with Blake. It’s so clear that she treats Nona with so much care and love. We trust her completely.”

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 have loved animals my whole life and grew up with a Bearded Collie as our family dog, which gave me early experience caring for pets and understanding their needs. I also helped raise my sister’s Golden Retriever, who is now 3 years old, from the puppy stage through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many friends while they’ve been away, caring for both dogs and cats of different personalities and energy levels. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals — making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins fit naturally into my routine. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to work with each pet’s specific needs and schedule while also keeping owners updated so they feel comfortable and informed. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible while their owner is away. Having grown up with a family dog and helped raise my sister’s Golden Retriever, I’m very comfortable around dogs of different energy levels and temperaments. I’ve also cared for both dogs and cats for friends over the years, and I understand how important trust and communication are. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always treat your pets and home with care and respect.

“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: I’ve always loved animals from volunteering at the bunny rescue as a teenager, walking the neighbors dogs, to having a kitty choose me as mamma til her recent passing. I am happy to follow any protocols, ensure a safe walk, do light training. How wonderful is it to get fresh air and exercise with the pups! Old roommates always had dogs so I’d enjoy walking them (even when they were in a stroller!) and helping them get trained (rescues!). Very flexible on timing, I’m in between main projects, so am taking on walks, boardings, etc. I was a PM in corporate til I decided to go the creative route 2 years ago :) in music, wellness, and spirituality. So my freelance schedule allows for varied bookings. My home is a studio, no other pets. Safe yard in case of any quick escapes in a safe, quiet neighborhood. In clients home I am happy to respect any rules and follow any protocols to ensure a safe, happy trip for the pet!

“I’m so delighted Keitel is on here! He was absolutely wonderful to deal with and Roman loves him. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.”

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: 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 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'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, even early mornings, late nights, and weekends. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating dog walks and playtime into my daily routine is something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for a pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise and companionship while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable in a familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules and your additional requests. I pay close attention during walks and outdoor time, keeping dogs safely leashed and aware of their surroundings. I also make sure pets have access to fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and a clean environment. Trust is essential when someone is caring for both your pet and your home. 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.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all breads and sizes for my whole life. I've cared for dogs both in my own home and in client's homes, providing walks, feedings, playtime, and lots of attention. I have a household full of animals at my parents home on the east coast. My mom is a veterinarian so I am comfortable recognizing basic health concerns and following care instructions closely. I treat every dog like my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away! I am a bartender so I have a ton of open availability! My hours I'm usually at work are 9PM-2AM on Thursday-Saturday so other than that I'm very open and flexible! I always prioritize safety and follow each pet's routine and care instructions closely. In my home, pets are supervised, kept in a calm environment, and never left unattended outside. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'm respectful, tidy, and attentive, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar space. Growing up with a veterinarian mom has made me comfortable recognizing basic health concerns and responding calmly in unexpected situations.

“Nori had a great time during her check in with Lili! Received lots of photos and updates throughout :)”

“Aimi took care of Bubbles and Julian on short notice and kept us well posted on their time while we were away. She brought some mail in and was super responsive. She’ll be our regular sitter from now on!”

About: Dogs have always been the easiest part of my day. I have experience in doggy daycare settings supervising group play and caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, high-energy dogs, and helping nervous dogs settle into new environments. I focus on keeping dogs safe, engaged, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their dogs are in good hands. I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I work from home and have many, many years of experience caring for animals full time in rescue and daycare settings. I am very safe and take all necessary precautions and follow instructions to the letter. I’ve never had a safety issue in all my years.

“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!”

Miles D.

“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.”

Amy B.

“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.”

Kim R.

“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!!”

About: I understand and respect the animals and I’m a trained dog trainer from all the training lessons I took when my dog was a puppy. And my dog who recently passed away was a very well behaved sweet girl even though she was a diva when I just got her. I’m not ready for another dog anytime soon but at the same time I still want to have the chance to take care of dogs and cats and I’m pretty good at it :) I work from home and for myself so my schedule is pretty flexible, and I have plenty of free time which I wish I could use them on playing with your dog. Let me know what’s your dogs’s favorite game and I can also bring some toys for us to play. I can respect their boundary while give them all the attention they need
