Pet Sitting Santa Monica

“Heather is the best. Both my cats loved her and we had a stress-free vacation because she took care of everything. One cat needs an insulin injection with his meals and Heather was experienced with that which was a dream. Thank you Heather!”

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.

“Keitel was easy to communicate with and his passion for dogs and for helping out us dog owners are obvious. I really appreciate the pics of the hour he spent with my puppy, Henry, as well as his text of how much he enjoyed his time with Henry. I will definitely book him again!”

About: I grew up with my dog, Bobo, and cared for him for his entire life from his puppy days through his senior years, so I've handled everything from training and walks to the slower pace and extra attention older dogs need. I've also regularly looked after my neighbors' dogs, which varied in size and personality, so I'm very used to caring for a wide variety of dogs. I'm comfortable with specific feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving medications, and I'll stick closely to your dog's usual routine so they feel at home. You can expect regular updates and photos while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule, so I'm available for most days and times, including last-minute requests. Pet care is already part of my daily routine with my cat, Bruno, and I'm happy to fit around whatever schedule your pet is used to. My own cat, Bruno, is an indoor cat, so we don't let him roam freely. We have a fenced in patio that allows him to be outside and still enjoy the outdoors while being safe and not risking any run offs.

“Alyssa was great! She took care of both of our dogs with ease and was very communicative. She went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for.”

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.

“Alexandra was great with our cat! They worked around our apartment’s visitor policy and was able to help us on relatively short notice. We got picture updates and were able to communicate easily. Thanks!”

About: My love for pets began from an early age. My room was resembled a zoo by the time I was ten. Friends rely on me to look after their pets when they're away and I'm experienced with all types of animals and their required care. This is my primary business that I run with my girlfriend who is also available when necessary. I'm reachable 24/7 so owners can have some peace of mind while they're away and as much phone contact as they want. I have a charming little house with a completely fenced in backyard and friendly neighbors who all have a variety of animals. Your pets will have full time attention and be very comfortable when at my home or with me at yours.

“I just can’t say enough good things about Randi. She keeps me updated and it’s so clear she understands the personalities of both my cats. And the kitties LOVE her. The pictures make me melt. I might catch Ajax buying me plane tickets so that he gets to see Randi again.”

About: I’ve always been around dogs and have experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pets, including feeding, walking, and spending time with them to keep them comfortable and engaged. I’m very reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented from my professional background, so I take schedules and responsibilities seriously. I’m happy to help with walks or drop-ins and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits really easily into my routine right now, I have a flexible schedule and am based in Santa Monica. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the day… mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Always on time and reliable. I’m active and like being outside, so getting dogs out for a good walk is something I actually enjoy. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and care. I keep things consistent and easy so pets feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow your routine for feeding and walks, make sure they get some good exercise, and give them plenty of attention. I love being around dogs, so they’ll get a mix of structure and just hanging out, playing, and keeping them happy while you’re away.

“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 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.

“Katie is one of the finest walker/sitters that we've ever had! She's upbeat, intelligent, responsible, caring, flexible, great with our 2 golden retrievers and when she's with the girls I'm relaxed knowing that they're in excellent hands. I recommend her without reservation.”

Mark G.

“I loved my review! And Caitlin made me feel so comfortable. She gave me the vibe that our schedule / process is a breeze while others seemed nervous. She handled an energetic puppy very well! Thank you!!”

About: Love dogs. Love walking. My dog walking days started over a decade ago when I would hang flyers and walk my neighbor’s dogs. In college I would take humane society dogs on runs twice a week while they were waiting to be adopted. I have experience with breeds of all types and sizes ranging from chihuahuas to Bernese mountain dogs, and am always looking to make new fur friends. I regularly help out my friends with their dogs, so thought I would expand my services a bit more in my own area! I work from home 4 days a week, and have no pets of my own. I enjoy walks away from my desk throughout the day so would love to add a cute dog in to that! I have a little yard with a fence, and a safe and open home with no other pets. I have a friendly, low stimulus environment that is calm and great for pets to relax.

“Marina is great, Luna loves her!”
