Cat Sitting Santa Monica

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and love working with both dogs and cats of all personalities. I grew up with three dogs—two rescues (including a foster we ended up keeping) and one puppy—and regularly handled their care, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’ve also been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since middle school, so I’m very comfortable stepping into different routines and making pets feel at ease. I’m especially experienced with cats. I raised two stray kittens growing up—one I helped bottle-feed—and in college I fostered a very shy, formerly stray cat. With patience and consistency, he became incredibly affectionate and is now my own cat who sleeps next to me every night. I pay close attention to body language and always respect each pet’s boundaries, whether they’re energetic, anxious, or need a little extra time to warm up. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very responsive, reliable, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I’m currently a part-time student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. While I’m not available for overnight stays, I’m very flexible during the day and can accommodate multiple visits if needed. I’m also very responsive and happy to help with last-minute requests when possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, routine, and making pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, especially with shy or anxious pets, and I always respect their boundaries. I make sure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure at all times during walks and visits. I treat every home with care and respect, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve regularly cared for cats, dogs, babies, toddlers, kids, etc. for nearly a decade now. I grew up with cats and dogs, but since moving to LA I don’t have my own pets and would love to help care for yours! I generally work 9-5 but am remote Mondays and Fridays and can be flexible. I live on the west side and do drive but I primarily walk and bike in my day to day! I prioritize maintaining a clean environment, ensuring that animals get adequate exercise and outdoor time. I care about helping pets maintain a healthy diet and a well-regulated nervous system.

“Sophia was absolutely wonderful. She is a fantastic walker and sitter who is punctual, communicative, and puts the dog's well-being first. When my dog was feeling anxious and refusing walks during the visits, Sophia handled it beautifully—she adapted very well, sat down to comfort my dog, and communicated with me. She made sure my dog was well-fed and cared for. Will be booking her again in the future!”

About: I have over 5 years of experience dog sitting and have taken care of dogs across all breeds and sizes. I communicate very well with my clients and send frequent check ins to ensure they feel comfortable while they’re away. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I have time throughout the day to spend time with your pets and keep them busy. I am very patient and great at understanding pets needs. I would ensure they are comfortable with me in their space and send my clients frequent check ins throughout the day.

“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!”

“Alyssa was great! She took care of both of our dogs with ease and was very communicative. She went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for.”

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!

“We hired Heather for drop-in visits when a last-minute trip came up, and after our experience, I highly recommend her. Heather came right over for a meet-and-greet, and it took only seconds for her and Oliver to become best friends. In fact, when we came home from our trip, he told us that he wants to live with Mrs. Heather now. While we were gone, she provided Oliver with food (which has medications involved), cleaned his litter, played with him, brushed him, fed him treats, gave him love, and even cleaned up. Major Kudos: Oliver requires this transdermal medication applied within his ear. This is something that's difficult even for me to apply, so I sort of accepted it'd be impossible for anyone else. And yet, Heather was able to apply it—all four times. Oh, and all of the pictures she sent were like... professional. My cat looked like a model. So I mean, really, does it get better than that? Heather is a wonderful sitter, and unless Oliver chooses to move in with her, we'll be hiring her again.”

“Jennifer has been great with my puppy. Very communicative and reliable, which I really appreciate. I feel comfortable knowing my puppy is being checked on and well cared for. Would recommend!”

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

“Amy is always so amazing with Roo! We truly have such peace of mind when our pup is under her care. Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s considering!”

About: Hi! I’m Grace, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always been the person friends and family call when they need someone they trust to watch their pets. I’ve cared for everything from playful dogs who love long walks to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. One of my friends had an older dog with arthritis that I regularly helped care for, which taught me how important it is to pay attention to a pet’s comfort, routine, and individual needs. I’ve also cared for my parents’ dog for months at a time while they were away. She became my little sidekick, and I loved being responsible for her daily walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I’m a huge cat lover as well. I’ve helped neighbors care for their cats by feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, spending time with them, and making sure they felt comfortable while their owners were away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else because they’re family. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own, stick to their routine, and send plenty of photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re happy and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! ❤️🐶🐱 __________________ I work full-time during the week and work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, giving me extra flexibility for daytime check-ins. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, feeding, or playtime, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. ________________ I know every pet is unique, and I’m committed to following their routine, respecting your home, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and videos so you can see how they’re doing and feel at ease while you’re away—expect cute check-ins 😊

“Responsive, punctual, and took great care of our puppy during the drop in! Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks for taking great care of our girl!”

“Jason has just be the best petsitter one could possibly asked. He has been very reliably coming to feed and play with our two cats, sent outstanding pictures (always heartwarming when you are far away from your furry friends), and great updates in a daily basis. We would definitely book Jason’s services again whenever needed. Thank you very much Jason”

“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.

“Kellee is fantastic with my puppy Penny! She takes such great care of her, is punctual, and keeps me updated with photos and videos every visit. Kellee has only known Penny for a couple weeks but Penny already loves her. I highly recommend Kellee!”

Abby P.

“Michelle is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone. She truly has a love for animals that you feel the moment she enters the room with your pet and you can tell how much she cares about making them comfortable while you’re away. So glad I finally have an amazing go to pet sitter for Nelly when I am away.”
