Dog Boarding in Santa Monica

“I was nervous about leaving my dog with a new sitter but my pup had a great time with Colin! He was very communicative the entire trip and sent the perfect amount of pics.”

“THANK YOU SO MUCH, LYDIA AND BENJI!!!! You're the best!! I highly recommend them to anyone who loves their pup and wants to give them a comfortable home away from home. Flexible drop off and pick up, a comfortable home right next to the beach, and loving hosts who send picture updates and are super communicative. I will definitely be trusting them with Dezzy going forward. Thanks again!! 🖤”

“Birute was amazing! We had to drop our dog Indy off on short notice due to a family emergency and Birute was super responsive and communicative. We got so many pictures and you could tell Indy felt at home immediately.”

Evan G.

“Charli was absolutely wonderful! She was Bert communicative and sent daily pictures and lengthy descriptions of Lukes walks and potties (which I loved). You can also tell she just loves animals - would highly recommend Charlie to pet sit your furry one!”

Tiffany T.

“Carmen was wonderful with my little princess. She took great care of her and I feel like she listened to me and was very good at communication with me while she was taking care of Uma. Thank you Carmen”

“Ryan treated my pup so well! I gave detailed instructions on how to help care for his eyes (he can’t see well and gets eye build-up) and he came back exactly how I left him, perfectly clean. My pup sometimes gets anxiety diarrhea at a new sitter, but he didn’t have that at all when I got him back! Daily updates were great. I will definitely be booking again.”

“Like most dog lovers, I don’t like leaving my best friend for a long time, but Vicky made it a lot easier. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures while I was out of town. Vicky always keeps a watchful eye on the pup and provides lots of walks and outdoor opportunities. My dog came back happy and healthy without any major disruptions to her normal schedule. If you’re worried about choosing a dog sitter, Vicky’s great communication will give you peace of mind.”

“Jinyen and her daughter Li-Yen treated my active 6 month old puppy Georgie just like he was their own, which is the best I could ever have hoped for. Throughout his stay I received updates and pictures and learned all about the fun time Georgie was having. They took him on long walks and made sure he got plenty of play time. They were very flexible with me and were able to take him for an additional night despite the fact that it was a last minute request. I was a bit scattered because I was in the middle of relocating after the Palisades fire and they both gave me so much grace and kindness. Truly could not have asked for a better experience and certainly plan to book them any time I need a sitter! Thank you Jinyen and Li-Yen!”

“Garima was a delight. She took wonderful care of our enthusiastic black lab, and left our house in perfect shape. She kept us laughing with photos and videos and handled a small electrical snafu at our house with calm and good judgment. We will be happy to have her stay again in the future!”

Lisa R.

“Mia is the best! Very fast communication, a lot of pictures and updates. You can tell she truly cares and puts in extra effort to make sure pups and pup parents feel comfortable. I was at ease knowing Maggie was safe with her. Thank you!”

Alex B.

“Angela did an outstanding job while taking care of our dog for a week. I was kept updated on a daily basis about Ralphie’s behavior and any concerns or questions. Angela sent me many photos of Ralphie at home and from walks. She gave him a bath before we picked him up. Angela accommodated and was very clear about the drop off and pickup instructions. No fuss. Although, this was my first time that we had Angela taking care of Ralphie, I was completely relieved. Ralphie was very happy and was probably disappointed having to leave Angela and her paw-friendly home. Angela will be my go-to pet-sitter in the future and we greatly appreciate her. Thank you Angela for your amazing care!”

Neda B.

“Brittany was very responsive by text in setting up our stay and was available. Goldie seemed well cared for and only shared the house with her two small dogs so I’m sure got lots of attention.”

Michele T.

“Roxy is the best! My pup always has the best time with her. They go on field trips and she sends me lots of pictures each day. I can rest easy when he’s with her. My pup literally has a smile in his photos and always pooped out from his vacation!!!! Mojo can’t wait to go back 🥰”

Mindy P.

“What a wonderful experience I had with Lori! My dog was happy, safe, and loved in her care (for 3 nights while we were gone!). I highly recommend Lori and will work with her again.”

Arielle C.

“Boba loved her stay with Maryam! We received daily updates & photos to let us know how Boba was doing. It was clear that Boba was happy & well cared for. We would not hesitate to use Maryam again on future trips.”

Cheryl R.

“Nicole and Sean are the best, hands down. They always give lots of love and attention to our Hunter, and they're just so easy to communicate with before and during the stay.”

Jason M.

“Jamie is so knowledgeable about pets and really took the time to make Clover feel like family. I’m grateful that Jamie was able to watch Clover while I was out of town and will be using her again! She sent updates and pictures all weekend to give me peace of mind.”

Tiffany N.

“Bandit was well taken care of and I was completely satisfied with the level of care he received; they even talk him a new trick! Andrew and Panchaya communicated throughout the whole process which eased my nerves. Can’t wait to book again.”

Taryn S.

“This was the second time we left out cat with Emily and we will keep using her services in the future! We really appreciate daily pictures and videos and how kind and caring Emily is! :)”

“BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! I am now SOLD on Aaron as my go-to-guy. Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin with reviewing Aaron. Being a pet-parent who is obsessed with my fur babies, I refuse to except anything but the best for them. Clearly, my inabilibty to find someone I wholeheartedly trust, has been limiting to my freedom. I was TERRIFIED to use/trust strangers from an app-based pet care service. When Jared told me about Aaron I was overjoyed. I hoped my pups would love him. Well, I got my wish! When my pups returned home hey CRIED, lol! They were upset that he left without them. I am finally free to travel and just have some time to myself again. That’s the short of it. If you want to know the specifics, keep reading. BEFORE THEIR STAY: 5⭐ for Flexibility and Convenience Aaron definitely delivered. My work schedule was jammed before my trip. I only had a small window and he offered to pop in to do a quick meet-n-greet. Instantly, the pups were drawn to him. I was only going to do 2 days and then opted to extend to 4 days, so (being new to the app) he helped me make the adjustment with ease. He made sure to ask about and fulfill on any special requests/scheduled of my dogs. I could tell in person he was tuned into the needs, personalities, and behaviors of each dog. I saw him engage with each dog in a firm yet friendly, loving, and caring manner. I knew I was leaving them in the right place where my pup would receive plenty of love and attention. Dropping them off was quick, convenient, and smooth. DURING THEIR STAY: 5⭐ for Communication and Positive Interactions Aaron was very quick to reply to my comments, questions, concerns, and needs. He also provided updates without any prompting which alleviated anxiety and created calm. He’s a very calm and easy going guy. His communications were consistently comforting and reassuring. I was delighted by the myriad of pup-pics he sent! It gave me an “staying-in-the-loop” experience, which inspired the calm and confidence I needed to mentally and emotionally unplug from being a pup-parent while I was away. These pics highlighted adventures and fun they were having and Aaron’s experience and expertise required to create a exciting, safe, and calm experience for everyone. I could tell he has a good working knowledge of dog behavior, needs, and care. 5⭐ for Environment, Safety and Supervision Aaron’s place is its own pup-amusement park (like a little maze of things) to explore and plenty of places to lounge. I was happy to see (and smell) how clean the place was. He was quick on the draw when one of the pup already in his care piddled on the floor from excitement, lol. He already has a plan in place including a nearby vet to handle emergencies, which is also reassuring. 5⭐ for Exercise and Playtime He even took a field trip so my pups could go to their favorite dog park (which isn’t close to where he live) which absolutely sealed the deal for making Aaron my permanent go-to dog sitter. They had so much fun my pups were EXHAUSTED for two days after her dropped them off! I’ve never seen my high-energy 3yr old Gus be completely wiped out. THANK GOD FOR AARON … most likely I’ll hire him weekly to get some of that energy out. AFTER THEIR STAY: 5⭐ for Return and Follow Up Aaron was right on time for the drop-off and he remembered all the things I left with him for their visit. As I mentioned before, the dogs cried after her left and they kept going to the door in anticipation of his return, lol. Other than that they took lots of naps the following two days and and slept soundly through the night. As an aside, it also seems like Gus’s behavior (wild energy) was tamed. Overall, I am the most delighted client ever. I am SOLD on Aaron. Try him, you will be too!”
