“From the minute we met Rachel I knew we struck gold. She knew right away how to manage our Cinnybun who was already nervous greeting someone new. He took a liking to her shortly after. Rachel is a true professional and authentically works to understand what and why a dog does what they do. We are very fortunate to have met her and will continue to book her. I highly recommend Rachel. I booked her for walks with my dog while I was away on travel and it was the best decision. Thank you, Rachel!!!”

About: I'm an LA native who recently moved back from Europe to care for family and am really missing Nala, my Ridgeback mix, back home with relatives. I love dogs and have experience with different breeds and temperaments and miss having a dog companion. I have a flexible schedule for walks and check-ins on the Westside. I am a single mom who is taking care of my sick parents, therefore I can't have a normal job. I can take your dogs on fun walks while my son is in school. I found out through my dog that exercise and love is most important. I will give your dog lots of TLC and take care of him/her to the best of my ability.
“Annalisa is so kind and accommodating when it comes to helping take care of my big St. Bernard. Really appreciate how quickly they have bonded—makes me feel at ease when I can’t be home early enough to walk the dog. Annalisa keeps me well informed, and she goes above and beyond with checking on the water bowl, taking in packages, etc. Appreciate her and thrilled to know her!”

About: I grew up with cats but have taken care of numerous dogs throughout my life. I have experience with all sizes and temperaments, including seniors, special diets, anxiety-prone pups and routine-focused households. During the week I'm working in an Art Gallery in Inglewood where dogs are allowed. Working remotely is also possible. On the weekends I'm working in Retail on Abbot Kinney. I would love to discuss the schedule with you. Currently I'm house and pet sitting only. My apartment doesn't allow pets but I have no problem with moving into your home to make it as comfortable as possible for your fur-baby. I don't have a car, so it should be close to Venice Beach, walkable preferred.
About: Hello! I’m Sally, I live in Venice and I have a pretty flexible schedule so can be available at most times of the day. I’ve lived and cared for dogs my entire life and love spending time with them! I also have cared for family’s and friends dogs some with very certain needs. I will make sure that whatever special need your dog has I will make sure to tend to. I always find that being around a dog can really make my day! Happy to spend time and tend to your pets needs since mine are all back home with my family. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your furry friend! I work Mon-Thurs 10:30-6:30 in the office and work from home Fridays and am off on the weekends. I am free for walks and check ins before and after work and am fully available Friday-Sunday. I make sure that your furry guy has all the attention it wants/ needs. I also pay close attention to their personalities and social preferences when it comes to other animals when we are out and about.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, reptiles...and three sisters, so I can deal with anything! LOL. I’m humbled to have been trusted with watching over the houses and beloved pets of many friends, family and coworkers over the last 20 years. Most recently, I was left with a puppy for two weeks that I was able to help potty and crate train while the owners made a cross country trip. I’m happy to walk, bathe, feed, and give unlimited belly rubs to any of your beloved non-human friends, and will be in constant contact to keep you at ease throughout the process. I work part time remotely and part time at a restaurant, which I am gone either morning or night for 7-8 hours. Schedule varies from week to week. I’m not currently offering in home pet services as I do not currently have the capabilities to do that but that will hopefully change in the near future.

About: I’ve spent 20+ years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I treat every pet like family and always aim to provide safe, attentive, personalized care. I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies and kittens who need structure and consistency to senior pets who need patience, comfort, and extra support. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel secure and cared for. My goal is simple: to make your time away easier by giving your pet reliable, loving care and giving you peace of mind. I work full-time from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to take breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and whatever care your pet needs. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space, follow instructions closely, and communicate clearly with regular updates and photos. If your pet is staying in my home, they’ll have a calm, comfortable environment with outdoor access, plus lots of supervision and companionship since I work from home with a flexible schedule.

About: ### 🐾 Your Dog’s Home Away From Home ❤️ **Private doggy daycare and boarding in a calm, loving home environment—ideal for dogs who prefer individual attention over crowded daycare.** I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. Your dog is family, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they are safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I **work from home**, which means your pup gets plenty of companionship and supervision throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give each dog the individual attention, affection, potty breaks, playtime, and rest they need. ### ❤️ Experienced, Loving & Trustworthy I’ve been an animal lover and caregiver since I was a little girl and was a devoted dog owner for **16 years**. I personally cared for my senior dog, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and compassion that older dogs may need. I also have experience with **medications and special-needs care**, and I’m comfortable following detailed instructions to help your dog maintain their normal routine. Over the years, I’ve also become a **trusted pet sitter for friends and their beloved animals**. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big responsibility, and I take that trust seriously. And yes—I **LOVE puppies!** 🐶💕 I’m happy to provide the extra patience, playtime, supervision, and affection that puppies need. ### 🏡 Calm, Private & Personalized Care I intentionally offer a more personal alternative to traditional, crowded doggy daycare. Rather than putting your pup into a large group environment, I focus on creating a **comfortable, calm home-away-from-home experience** tailored to your dog's personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or simply happiest curled up beside someone, I’ll get to know what makes them comfortable. ### 🌴 Walks, Play & Beach Life I live close to the beach and absolutely love getting outside. If your dog enjoys walks, exploring, and getting some exercise, I’m happy to incorporate **walks and visits to local dog parks** when appropriate for their personality, energy level, and your preferences. Of course, I’ll always follow your instructions regarding exercise, socialization, and what your dog is comfortable with. ### 🐾 I Follow Your Dog’s Routine I know that consistency helps dogs feel secure, especially when they're away from home. I’m happy to follow your instructions for: • Meals and feeding schedules • Treats and favorite snacks • Walks and exercise • Potty breaks • Medications • Special-needs care • Nap and sleep schedules • Favorite toys and activities • Anxiety or behavioral considerations • Any special routines that make your dog feel at home ### 📱 You’ll Never Have to Wonder How They’re Doing I’ll keep you updated during your dog's stay and am happy to send **photos and videos** so you can see how your pup is doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without constantly worrying about your dog. Before your first stay, I’d love to learn about your dog— their personality, routine, energy level, favorite things, sensitivities, and anything else that helps me give them the best possible experience. **Your dog will be treated with patience, affection, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own.** ❤️🐾 Feel free to contact me with any questions! I’d love to meet you and your pup and see if we’re a good fit. I'm currently freelance and work remotely from home, so my schedule is flexible. I live a block away from the beach, so it is easy for me to take the dogs on walks to the beach. I have an apartment that was used to having a dog for many years! So, the dog would be in a very comfortable living situation where I could bring toys and bed and also keep a crate here if necessary.

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life plus many other critters over the years. I also was a professional groomer for 16 years. I love caring for all animals and will treat yours as if they are my own. Services I offer are dog walking/drop in visits and cat drop in visits/sitting. I’m currently doing walks, drop ins and pet sitting as my full time job, so I have plenty of time to walk, feed and play with your babies!

When I was grooming I specialized in special needs and rescues so I can comfortably handle all temperaments.
“Awesome and great response time! Handled spirit responsibly! Spirit can be a handful sometimes, It was great to know I did not have to stress. She made my life so much easier! Thank you!”


“Had our first walk with Katherine she was great with my strong large pup. She was patient and attentive. Katherine remained calm and able to handle him even when we saw a cat! Her energy is soothing and my dog and I both felt safe and comfortable with her. She definitely is knowledgeable and has great experience with high needs dogs. I’m looking forward to having her walk my dogs regularly now.”

“Penelope is amazing! She takes great care of our dog, always makes sure he has everything he needs when she leaves, and takes him on nice long walks. She’s been super flexible with scheduling and sends great pictures too!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Venice
We couldn't be happier with Sierra! Charlie warmed up to her almost instantly, which says so much. Our pup can take some time to feel comfortable, so the fact that she felt at ease so quickly is a true testament to how warm and gentle Sierra is. She is always on time and so kind and sweet with Charlie every single visit. It's such a relief knowing Charlie is in caring, reliable hands. We highly recommend her! 🐾

I adore Hayley and so does my dog. Greta communication, always on time or early, sends updates, is flexible if the weather is too hot adjusting her walk plan and always makes sure my dog is given that extra attention. It’s so nice to not worry smith my dog when I’m at work. So happy we found Hayley

Tessa is so great with dogs and I can say I had full trust in her when she was with my pup. Her training experience helped keep consistency with him. She also taught me many things and was very helpful with game planning strategies for the betterment of my house as a first time puppy owner.

Annalisa is wonderful. I have two Shar-Pei, and one is a former stray and needs firm, but gentle compassion one her walks as we work on her lingering anxiety. Annalisa, was unfazed and a total pro from the first walk and Birdi (anxious dog) did great! Annalisa was prompt and a great communicator. I'm very happy we found each other - and I plan to make her a go-to in the future.

I had a last-minute event come up that ran late, and I really needed someone I could trust to take my dog out since I wouldn’t be home until late. Jinell was available on short notice, so easy to communicate with, and made scheduling completely stress-free. I really appreciated all the updates and photos she sent. Thank you so much, Jinell! I would definitely recommend her.

Hillary was amazing with my two dogs walking them for a week! One of my dogs is a senior and the other is very shy- she was so patient with both of them. She was super communicative and sent me pictures every day. I would definitely book with her again and am happy she took such good care of my pups!

I was extremely nervous and even more unprepared for how vulnerable my first experience having a dog sitter was. Jamia arrived as if she'd always been a part of our lives. I can't seem to find words deep enough to express how grateful I am to have had her watch over my dog who is my entire world. Jamia was just as patient with me as she was with him! All of my instructions and guidance for handling my pup she superseded and with each walk and every photo throughout his experience I felt so much more calm. I want to also emphasize the difference in how much more patient and calm my doggie was when I returned from my trip he was definitely changed by his time with Jamia - from the both of us we appreciate you and wish we could give you a 10 star recommendation. Thank you so much.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Venice. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
