Dog Boarding in Santa Monica

“Lydia and Benji were so sweet with my dog Alfred! He was a little nervous at first to be away from home and they took extra care to make sure he felt comfy. Will definitely book with them again! ❤️”

“My dog is eccentric and has his little quirks. Arthur was welcoming and inquisitive; it’s obvious he deeply cares for animals. My dog Wolfgang came home relaxed and peaceful, which tells me the environment was calm and nurturing. Excellent communication-an ideal experience. Thank you, Arthur!”

“This was my first time using rover, I was desperate and really needed someone to watch my sainty because I was going out of town last minute. Luckily Jen was available and treated Saint like he was a part of the family, constantly sent pictures and videos and updates and really just showed Saint a lot of love. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.Thank youu Jen <3”

“Aleesa was so thoughtful and took such good care of my pup!! She was responsive, sent photos, and went on multiple walks. I will definitely be booking with her again! I felt so safe and assured 🙏🩷”

“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!”

“Edward is the best sitter that I have ever had on Rover. I had a nightmare experience with another Rover sitter in the past and my vacation was full of worries. This is my second experience with Edward taking care of my Prince and immediately my dog ran to him and didn’t show any signs of distress. It felt like I was leaving him with a family member. Dogs can sense good people and you definitely will not regret it if your fur baby gets to be in Edward’s home. Thank you for sharing pictures and allowing me to feel comfortable being away from my baby. I definitely appreciate everything and hopefully you’ll be able to always be my Prince’s bro when I need to leave him behind. Blessings to you Edward!”

“Liz was so great! This was my first time boarding my dog, Roo, who’s very nervous around strangers. But Roo settled in very quickly! Liz sent me updates w/ pictures everyday. I’ll definitely be sending Roo to Liz again!”

“Roxanne was the best sitter ever! She clearly loves and understands dogs and she is very courteous and responsive. She walked our dog 3X a day and was affectionate with her, too. She has a big yard for the dogs to get exercise and play time. We will definitely use her again!”

“This was my 2nd time booking Charli and I’m so happy she was available to watch my pup. Charli is so attentive and detailed which always leaves me 100% reassured that my pup is in safe and caring hands. Thank you again Charli!”

“I’m new to the area and feel so lucky to have met Nicole and Sean and have them take care of my five-year-old standard poodle for the weekend. She loved hanging out with them and made herself right at home! I know that I found my second home when needed for travel in the future!”

“We can't thank Mariia enough for her care of our dog. She's amazing and it makes us so happy that she cares for dog like one of her own. She's the best”

“Yupee was great with our dogs and sent lots of updates and pics. Her own dogs are super cute and my dogs had a blast playing with them (and their toys)”

“Mickie was awesome! She sent many updates with pictures or videos. She was prompt upon pick up and flexible with drop off. Our dog loved playing with her pups. Would definitely book again! Thank you Mickie!”

“Andrea took care of my baby Otis for 4 days and he had so much fun going for long walks and hanging out with her and her cute doggos. Andrea was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. Otis enjoyed his vacation and wants to see Riley and Maia again!”

“Jane was amazing! Mamba felt safe to be with her and she did a great job updating me, sending me photos, and simply taking great care of my dog. She is definitely trust worthy and patient!”

“Jackie is a real gem! Her 2 little dogs welcomed mine right away in their dog friendly home. I’m very happy to know that such great care is available!”

“Jess & Max are amazing Rover sitters who took great care of my pup during our very first time away for a weekend. Not only did he feel comfortable and happy in their care but I could tell they enjoyed spending time with him as well. We hope to book with Jess & Max again!”

“We're immensely grateful for the exceptional care our 10-month-old calico received from Martin. It was Simone’s first time with a sitter, and the experience couldn't have been smoother! Martin showered our furry friend with love and attention, and the regular photo updates and texts provided us with peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Martin to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care services!”

“Giselle, our dog sitter, was simply amazing! ?❤️ She took excellent care of our beloved Archie during our 4-day trip. We couldn't be more grateful! Thank you, Giselle! ??”

“They were so sweet with my dog during her weekend stay! They gave me peace of mind while I was away by doing a great job keeping me updated with photos and videos. Will definitely be using them again and would recommend to anyone!”
