Dog Walking Santa Monica

“This was my first week using Todd and Rover in general, and he went up and beyond my expectations. He worked really well with my schedule, and my pup liked him right away. He even does a bit of walk training on the walks, amazing!”

RACHAEL B.

“The best on here and treats my pup like hers and like family. Can’t say enough positive things about Kellie. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for someone you can really trust with your furry friend”

About: Hi! I’m Jessie, and I’m the kind of person who will absolutely say hello to your dog before saying hello to you. 😂 I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs—their goofy personalities, their weird little habits, their excitement over absolutely nothing, and yes, even the occasional dramatic refusal to walk in the direction I’m going. I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have also cared for other people’s pets, so while I’m new to Rover as a dog walker, I’m definitely not new to taking care of dogs. When your dog is with me, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to their individual personality and needs rather than treating every dog the same. Some pups want to run and explore, some want a leisurely sniff-filled stroll, and some mostly want to stop every 30 seconds to investigate a suspicious-looking leaf. I’m good with all of it. I’m dependable, communicative, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet seriously. I’ll pay attention to things like how your dog is behaving, what they’re comfortable with, and any instructions you give me about their routine. And honestly, I’m in this because I like dogs. A lot. Getting paid to hang out with them is a pretty great bonus. What you can expect from me 🐾 Safe, attentive walks 🐾 Plenty of affection and attention 🐾 Respect for your dog’s individual personality 🐾 Following your instructions and routines 🐾 Clear communication and updates 🐾 Lots of patience 🐾 Photos of your dog looking adorable, because obviously I know leaving your dog with someone else requires trust. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pup is being treated with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own. I’d love to meet you and your dog and see if we’re a good fit! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to make time for walks, and giving dogs the attention they need rather than trying to squeeze them in around a hectic schedule. I enjoy getting outside and being active, and having a dog to keep me company makes it even better. I’m also comfortable working around different routines and can be flexible about timing when possible. I know that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and will always put your dog’s safety and comfort first. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including leash, feeding, and any other routines or special needs you share with me. I pay attention to how a dog is behaving and will never push them into something they’re uncomfortable with. I’m also big on communication. I want you to feel comfortable knowing how your dog is doing while they’re with me, and I’m happy to send updates and photos along the way. Your dog is part of your family, and I’ll treat them that way. 🐾❤️

About: Hello! I’m an animal lover, responsible pet owner, and outdoor enthusiast who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a dog of my own, Spencer, so I understand that pets are family. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry companions, maintain their routines, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I’m active and love walks, exploring the outdoors, and enjoying a little adventure. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply curling up for some company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m attentive, dependable, and respectful of your home. I also understand the importance of keeping pet parents updated, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My promise: Your pets will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have the flexibility to give pets plenty of time and attention. I’m home most of the time, which means your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches and can enjoy consistent companionship throughout the day. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Spencer, including daily walks, feeding, treats, playtime, and providing affection and companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so walks and fresh air are already part of my lifestyle. I understand the importance of maintaining familiar routines and adapting to each pet’s personality and needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just as I would want for my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in caring for someone’s furry family member. I’m home most of the time, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. I live in a secure, well-maintained condo building and pride myself on being responsible, attentive, and dependable. I’m equally committed to providing safe, attentive care in your home, respecting your space while keeping your pet comfortable and happy. I’ll treat your pet like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“Jill has been wonderful with my dog Bailey who takes some time to warm up to strangers. She was very patient and he warmed right up to her. Definitely recommend!”

About: Pet sitter & kitty owner with 15 years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities — from playful kittens & pups to sweet seniors. I know every animal has their own personality, preferences and ways of communicating so I'm always flexible, patient and detail-oriented in whatever routine & care makes them feel most comfortable, safe and cared for! I work from home and am available and flexible for cat drop-ins and boarding in my Santa Monica apartment. For drop-ins, I’m happy to follow your preferred routine and closely follow any specific care — whether that's fresh food & water, litter care, medication, playtime, brushing, or just keeping them company! For boarding, I offer a clean, spacious loft with an enclosed patio — plenty of space and separated spaces for your pet to settle in, explore, relax, or just find some quiet alone time. I keep the environment calm, tidy, and pet-friendly, and always pay attention to their needs, comfort, and experience! I'll always respectfully and reliably follow your instructions & preferences for your home — and ensure food, water, litter, doors, windows, and any specific/special routines are handled with attention and care. I’m also more than happy to send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and well!

“Jayne is the best. I needed to get a dog walker after an injury to walk my dog 2x/day for a few months, and could not be more thankful that we found Jayne. She is so kind and communicative and my dog quickly became tuned in to his walk schedule and would get so excited to see her right before she’d arrive. Book Jayne for all of your pup needs! She is definitely our go to from here on out.”

About: As an owner of a yorkie, I know how important a good pet sitter/walker is to a dog’s family. I would love to be that person for you! I love every dog, big and small, and have had experience caring for dogs of all sizes. My sweet yorkie Cashew recently passed, and I’d love to use the free time I now have to get time with other pups, so letting me help with yours is doing me a favor as well. Please reach out if you are interested!! I have a great fenced outdoor space for them to have fun. I work from home so do not have to leave the house! I have plenty of breaks for walks and to give love and attention. You can trust me to keep your dog safe! Their happiness and safety are my two top priorities. I have one bedroom apartment with an outdoor space to lounge, and the property has a fenced in yard as well. The outdoor space is safe and great fun!

“Madelaine is amazing! She's been walking my dog regularly for the last month, and when my sister and I planned a vacation, she so easily accommodated walking my sister's dog as well as temporarily going to a different house for the week. She's very communicative and reliable, so it was a no-brainer to ask her to help with this one-off need.”

About: I've been taking care of animals my entire life, from my own dogs and cats, to those of friends and neighbors, and now I do it professionally part time. I work from home and my husband is retired so our flexible schedules allow us to spend quality time with your pet during the day, for overnight boarding, and extended stays. We provide a quiet, loving environment, making us a good fit for animals with separation anxiety, or seniors who need constant care or medication. We do not leave dogs by themselves during their stay with us. Since we live in an upstairs apartment, dogs that are a good match for us are fairly quiet and well behaved and can settle down between play and walk time. But I'm happy to do drop ins and walks for puppies and rambunctious pups! **Pick-up and/or Drop-off** is available for an additional fee. Price depends on distance. If interested in this service please inquire and I can add the fee to your invoice. Having animals in my apartment with me makes the days better and I tailor my own work schedule around them. Pets can make themselves at home, are allowed on the furniture, go where they want to and can sleep the bed if they want to. I have doggie stairs for little ones, lots of clean, comfy blankets, plus balls and toys. I LOVE to walk and am happy to provide as many outside breaks as necessary, as well as long energetic walks for dogs who enjoy exercise. Our upstairs apartment has a security screen door for fresh air and views, lots of securely screened windows for cats who enjoy bird and squirrel watching, and we are set away from traffic and the street. There is one flight of stairs up to our unit but I am happy to carry pups that have trouble climbing. I am used to feeding special diets, can accommodate frequent or complicated feedings, and have experience administering medications, including pills, liquids, transdermals, subcutaneous injections and fluids.

“Keitel was amazing with our nervous rescue 80 lb German shepherd! He’s a natural with pups and gave very timely updates along with cute photos. 10/10 recommend!”

“Damaris and Arlette are very professional and responsible. I thoroughly trust them to take good care of Simba. They follow instructions really well and Simba loves them. I highly recommend and will be using their services again in the future!”

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!

“My dog loved, Paige + her dog!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 14. I pet sit a big dog and two cats for an entire summer in NYC in 2022 where I truly learned the responsibility of caring for animals. Since then I have dog sat for family friends and there’s nothing more fulfilling than having a pet let you in. I am currently a student at Loyola university so my availability is limited to Thursday night-Monday. I am always taking daily walks around my neighborhood and would love to be accompanied by some furry friends:) I am also available for pet sitting or play dates at the house. I will provide pets with a safe space to both play, sleep, and simply live. I am an experienced pet feeder and walker so I know when the dog is becoming exhausted and when it needs to release energy.

“Michael was very patient with our challenging dog. He took care of her needs and was prompt sharing photos. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a walker.”

About: Growing up on a farm created my love for animals and attention to their care at an early age. I know the importance of keeping animals in their routine and giving them attention, companionship, and exercise. I love taking my pooch out for walks and would do the same for yours! I’m currently working from home on a personal business so I have flexibility for play and walk times throughout the day. My dog has a twice a day eating routine and we never miss her preferred eating hours 😅 There’s always a water dish set up and dental treats within reach. My pooch has her special nest next to my bed at night. Happy to set up a crate or bed for your pup. Pre-bed time walks are a favorite for us.
