Pet Sitting Santa Monica

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.

“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!”

“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.”

“Samantha is fantastic! She and Daisy have hit it off! She has taken care of Daisy 2 times while I have been out of town and its great to know that Daisy is in good hands while I’m away. Thanks Samatha! Look forward to working with you more.”

About: I’ve spent 8+ years caring for dogs and am a proud dog mom to Poe! Along with caring for my own pup, I’ve looked after friends’ and family members’ dogs of all sizes, including caring for multiple dogs at a time. I know that every dog has their own personality, routine and quirks, and I’m happy to accommodate what makes them feel most comfortable. From sticking to specific feeding schedules and mealtime requests (yes, even the silly songs!) to making time for walks, playtime, cuddles and plenty of affection, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, happy and loved. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pup needs a walk, a drop-in visit or a place to stay while you're away, I’ll do my best to keep their routine consistent and give them the same love and attention I’d want someone to give Poe. I can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, feeding schedules and plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to accommodate their dog’s usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m interested in offering dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet sitting and overnight boarding. I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet seriously and want every dog to feel like part of the family while they’re with me. Whether it’s sticking to a specific mealtime routine, getting out for a walk or enjoying some extra cuddles, I want pet parents to feel confident that their pups are in caring hands! Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, needs and any specific instructions from their owner so I can provide consistent, attentive care. In my home, I want dogs to feel comfortable, relaxed and part of the family. I’m mindful of introductions, supervise interactions with Poe and make sure each dog has a safe, comfortable environment. I follow feeding instructions carefully, keep potentially unsafe items out of reach and make sure dogs are secure when heading out for walks or going outside. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their space and stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, from mealtimes and walks to playtime and cuddles. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Ultimately, I treat every dog with the same patience, attention and love I’d want someone to give Poe. My goal is for both pets and their parents to feel safe, comfortable and confident in my care.

“Wonderful! I feel great knowing my kitty is in good hands”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! I’m the primary carer having had dogs since I was a kid and my own dog for 14+ years before he passed. I’ve cared for many other dogs and I love to take them to parks, walks by or on the beach (as you prefer) and ensure they are comfortable at night! I have a flexible schedule and are also able to bring well behaved dogs to work. Either way, I’m able to provide around the clock care! We always do pet breaks in the morning, lunch time, dinner time, and before bed! I take care of dogs in my apartment, which is spacious and clean, though I’m happy to house sit as we care for your pet where they are most comfortable!

“Jessica was amazing! Took great care of my pup with multiple updates throughout the day and went the extra mile to make sure he was happy. Especially loved the extra pictures as well! 10/10 couldn't recommend her enough!”

“Kristin is quick to respond, reliable, friendly and Buddy adores her. I’m very new to Rover but will for sure book her again. Thank you Kristen!”

About: I know how important it is to trust who you allow to care for your dog. I am an experienced pet caregiver and regular foster to rescue dogs in Los Angeles with a heart especially in tune with the necessary care and attention needed for rescue dogs, puppies, senior dogs, post-surgery recovery, separation anxiety, and behavioral traits like reactivity from sometimes unfortunate pasts. I am passionate about providing gentle, attentive, loving care with patience, positive reinforcement, routine, respect and a lot of pets/snuggles/play depending on each individual dog’s needs and personality! I prioritize creating a safe and calm environment for each and every dog and believe that my grounded, calm, positive and loving energy is the best place to start while getting to know your pup. I am a big fan of communication and sending updates, pictures and videos while your family member is in my care. I regularly foster dogs and when I am not fostering, I take care of senior dogs. I work remotely so I have ample time to dedicate towards pet care - which is my passion, heart and soul. I am available daily and offer overnights! I have a fenced yard and a dog friendly, secured patio space. I am currently not fostering so have time and space to dog sit, walk, check in on, or overnight. 6 months out of the year I care for my family's senior dogs, who are also registered therapy/service dogs. They are a 14 year old Aussie Bernese and a 17 year old Morkie who like to sleep, go on neighborhood walks, and cuddle. They love when other dogs get to stay and play with them.

“Anna is so wonderful and so patient with Morgan! She comes when she says she will and Morgan warmed up to her very quickly. I feel much better knowing Morgan gets to see her when I have my long days away from home!”

About: Hi, I’m Paige! I’m a Santa Monica dog mom with 15 years of pet care experience and a very loved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Vista. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I want you to feel comfortable from our first conversation. Caring for Vista has made me especially attentive to the details: food preferences, daily routines, energy levels, and those little changes in behavior that deserve a closer look. I prepare his meals at home, so I understand the importance of following feeding instructions carefully, even when your dog insists they’re allowed a second dinner. I’m active and love getting outside, but I take my cues from the dog in front of me. Whether yours enjoys a long sniff-filled walk, gentle company, playtime, or a cozy spot to relax, I’ll tailor our time to their personality and your instructions. You can expect thoughtful care, clear communication, and plenty of photo updates. Tell me their quirks, favorite toys, house rules, and what helps them feel safe. I want to know it all! My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and loved, and for you to enjoy your time away knowing they’re in caring, attentive hands. I currently work from home and pet care is already part of my daily life with my Cavalier, Vista! Walks, feeding, playtime, and downtime give my day structure, and I love getting outside to break up work. Before accepting a booking, I’ll make sure my availability fits your pet’s usual routine and the attention they need, so we can set clear expectations from the start. As a dog mom myself, I know that the little details matter. Before caring for your pet, I’ll ask about their routine, temperament, food restrictions, escape habits, and any special care instructions. I keep walks leashed, pay close attention to doors and gates, and avoid unfamiliar dog interactions unless we’ve discussed them beforehand. In your home, I’ll respect your space and follow your house rules while helping your pet feel comfortable in familiar surroundings. For care in my home, we’ll discuss the setup and compatibility with Vista first, with careful introductions and separate spaces as needed. You can expect photo updates and prompt communication about any concerns.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, with dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits and birds, they've have always been apart of my life and family. Im very comfortable around animals and love getting too know all their different personalities. I've cared for pets of different ages and temperaments, and I undertone that some want to be your best friend straight away and while others need a little more time and space. I’m happy with walks, feeding, playtime, lots of attention and keeping them company, making sure they comfortable and happy while you’re away. I also have experience administering medication and have cared for a dog while they were in hospice care, so I’m comfortable with pets who need a little extra care and attention at any age. I’ve also done plenty of house/pet sitting, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own home and understand how important it is to respect both your animals and your space. I’m happy to send photos and updates while you’re away so you know how everyone is doing I'm a writer, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care. Im available throughout the week and weekend for walks, drop ins and house sitting, and im happy to work around your pet's usual routine as much as possible. For house sitting I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving both your pets and yo home with someone else. I've done plenty of house sitting through trusted house sitters when I Travel, so im very used to caring for pets in their own homes and respecting someone else spaces. I follow the routines and instructions you leave and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks and playtime, and im always happy to send photos and updates while you're away and if thats what you enjoy!

About: I have loved dogs ever since I was a kid but travel too much to justify one for myself. In the meantime, let me cuddle with yours! We will go on plenty of walks around the neighborhood and they will get lots of head scratches and belly rubs. I even have a dog camera so I can monitor them while I go to the gym or run an errand, but we will mostly be parked on the couch watching movies (this is where the cuddling comes in). I just do this for fun, so your dog is destined to have fun too. Let me watch your cutie to reserve a spot in my 2026 Holiday Card and on the Wall of Fame!!! I work from home and am generally a home body so your dog will be at ease lounging by my side. Plus I usually go on a daily walk around the neighborhood even when I'm not watching a pup! I care for your pets as if they are my own! Your dog will be my priority for their entire stay. But please note: I don't allow them to sleep in the bed with me.

“Thank you so much for checking on them and making sure they had everything they needed.”

“Susanna did a fabulous job with my cats! I travel often and it is so nice to know there’s someone so communicative and reliable. She was thorough with the directions, and I appreciated the pictures and care!”

“Marcella took great care of my senior pup Toby! She stopped in twice to let him out and give him dinner. She was very communicative, asked all the right questions, and ensured she met every need Toby and I had. Highly recommend!”
