Pet Sitting in Santa Monica

“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.”

“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!”

“Anne-Elisabeth was super responsive and great with our two kitties! Kept us updated the whole time and made sure we knew that their litter box was clean, they’d been fed and water was full. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: Been taking care of dogs almost my entire life -- they are my favorite! I don't have a dog of my own, so I do Rover in the meantime :) I treat every pet like they are my own and am overjoyed when I have a pup around the house -- pretty much spending every second with them, walking, beach trips, puppy playdates and snuggles. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I love building time into my schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. Whether I’m working from home or out and about, I plan my day around giving pets the attention and structure they need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I do my best to match each pet’s usual routine, whether I’m at their home or they’re staying with me. I keep feeding and potty schedules consistent, provide daily exercise and play, and make sure they get plenty of affection and downtime. I pay close attention to their body language and needs, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and communication with pet parents.

“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.”

“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.”

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.

“Marina is great, Luna loves her!”

“Absolutely stellar visits! Jake took an immediate liking to Jason and after that it was one phenomenal visit after the next! Jason went above and beyond with the visits and was eager to take on special tasks which he performed in equally amazing fashion. Most importantly, I felt completely at ease leaving Jake for four days in Jason!s more than capable hands! Just the perfect sitter and the nicest guy in the world! A+++++++ experience and highly recommend Jason for any and all of your pet needs! Looking forward to my next trip just to be able to see him again!!”

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

“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!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to a German Shepherd–Pitbull mix that I’ve raised and trained since he was 8 weeks old (he’s almost 4!). Through working with him and growing up with a reactive family dog, I’ve gained hands-on experience with training structure, different tools, and handling dogs with big personalities. That said, I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and personalities! While I have experience handling large and high-energy breeds, many of my friends have small dogs, so I’ve spent plenty of time around little pups as well. My goal is always to meet each dog where they are and follow the care style that makes them feel safest and most comfortable. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I’d love to help take care of yours and make sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away! I recently left my 9–5 to take some time to reset and figure out what I want to do next, which means I currently have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to spend with your pup! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life (including my own), so Rover felt like the perfect way to spend this time doing something I genuinely love. I’m very active and currently training for a marathon, so I love long walks. And if your dog enjoys running, I’d be happy to have a training buddy! (Ryder, my dog, unfortunately does not share that enthusiasm.) I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits in clients’ homes. Since I have my own dog with a structured training routine, I’m not boarding dogs at my home right now. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I genuinely love clear instructions and lists, so if your dog has specific feeding schedules, training cues, tools, or little quirks, I’m happy to follow them exactly. (Have you seen the dog on TikTok that needs to go through a TSA check before getting into bed at night?!) I’m always mindful of leash safety, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level during walks and visits. Whether your pup needs a long walk, structured exercise, or just some attention and playtime, I’ll make sure they feel safe and well cared for.

“Heather was so great with our two cats! We really appreciated all her help and will definitely ask her to help out again :)”

“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.”

About: I love dogs! I’m the go-to person for my friends and family to take care of their dogs, whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay. I’ve been dog sitting since I was in high school and my neighbors knew they could count on me. I currently work a corporate remote job, so I’m available to help out mornings, afternoons and nights. I’m also available on the weekends as needed. I’m very good with dogs and I remain calm and gentle, so they feel comfortable around me. I’ll keep everything clean and make sure they are taken care of.

“Amy did an amazing job taking care of my cat this weekend. It was my first time using Rover and not a friend or family member. My old man takes medicine and Amy handled everything perfectly. The pictures and drop-in summaries were thorough and very appreciated. I was able to travel and not stress that my old man wasn’t in the best of care. Thank you, Amy!”

About: Huge dog lover 😍! I grew up with six dogs at home when I was little and my parents are both huge animal lovers. I’ve had my own dog Bentley since I was a senior in college and I’ve taken care of several dogs for friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. I’m currently full-time and 100% work from home for a tech company with a flexible schedule. I love to break my day up with walks, etc and can keep them company majority of the time. I have a side entrance to my building and very minimal people around. I have my own dog Bentley (8 lbs, 13 y/o) to keep them company as well. Happy to crate your dog if needed!

“Samantha did an amazing job checking in on our cats. She was so thorough and sent us tons of great pictures. It really felt like they were in good hands”
