Pet Sitting Venice

“Natalia has become my puppy favorite person in the middle of the day. She always jumps with joy the minute she sees Natalia coming through the door, and my sweet little puppy doesn’t even notice when I leave! Natalia Tree, my puppy joy as a she was her very own. She’s always punctual, and followed my instructions to the letter. She is truly a lifesaver.”

About: I have a very active, independent, high-prey-drive Ibizan Hound, and raising her has given me a lot of hands-on experience with dog behavior, training challenges, leash safety, and reading body language. I’ve spent a lot of time learning about canine behavior, nutrition, triggers, overstimulation, and how to notice small changes in a dog’s behavior before they become a bigger issue. I’m naturally very observant and attentive during walks. For dog walking, I prefer small to medium-sized dogs that are generally calm on leash and manageable during walks. I’m not the best fit for dogs that pull heavily, are highly reactive, or require significant behavioral management. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and enjoyable walk for your dog. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I can help with walks, feeding, fresh water, and short check-ins based on your pet’s usual routine. I take leash safety and following the owner’s instructions very seriously. During walks and drop-in visits, I pay close attention to your pet’s body language, surroundings, doors, gates, and potential triggers. I’ll follow your feeding and care routine exactly as requested.

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats since I was 5 years old (I’m now 22), so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities and understand how important routine, patience, and affection are for them to feel safe and happy. I’m happy to provide baths at no extra cost and can also offer room and board in a loving, attentive environment where your pet will be treated like family. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and am available all day on weekends and Wednesdays. I would love to spend as much time with your furry friend as possible! I have a fenced yard and a bath tub if your pet needs a bath or groomed! I live in a large house a 2 minute walk from a park, so they will have plenty of space to play and roam! Pets are the best thing in the world to me and I am excited to meet yours!!

“Great communication! Will work with Katharine again.”

“Cari is such a pleasure. She communicates very well and is very much a dog lover and dog whisperer!!! We feel so fortunate that we have found her.”

About: Hi! I’m a full-time sitter with 6+ years of experience offering personalized, one-on-one care to dogs and cats. I accept only one client at a time so your pup gets my full attention in a calm, stress-free environment. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments across the Westside. For cats: drop-ins and house-sitting only. I’m known for being patient, intuitive, and attentive—whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or a senior, I tailor care to their needs so they feel safe and comfortable. Clients love my excellent communication, detailed and often photo updates, so they have peace of mind away and coming home to a happy, healthy dog and a very clean space. Good to know: ✔ Work from home — your dog is not alone for long (max 2.5-3 hours) ✔ Only one dog at a time, no other pets ✔ Clean, spacious studio (great for small dogs) Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Feel free to reach out and check out my reviews 🐾 I work from home so your dog wouldn’t be alone for too long. I truly care for my client’s dogs as if they were my own. My bed is a very popular nap, hangout spot. My apartment is a spacious studio, so ideal for small dogs/puppies. I keep it super clean as well! I have 3 doggy day beds, toys, treats and blankets for them. I always wash everything after each booking.

“We had only ever booked with Athena and we will continue to book with her always. She’s simply the best - communicative, friendly, a cat whisperer, etc. Our boys love her and she gives us so much peace of mind when we’re gone.”

About: I grew up with beagles in my home and now own one myself. When I wasn’t taking care of our family dog, I was taking care of vizslas owned by the family I nannied for or helping out with my friends dogs while they would go away or just need help in a pinch. I currently have a 6.5 old beagle and have had him since he was a puppy. He loves other dogs and sleeps most of the day. I work full time remotely, but have control over my schedule and can be flexible. I currently work east coast hours from 6am-2pm, so my late afternoons-evening’s are pretty wide open. However I can definitely help with morning and day time walks if needed, just need some notice to fit into my schedule. As of right now, I am happy to offer dog walking and drop in mostly any day or the week and house sitting services on the weekend. I’ll likely be able to offer boarding services in the future, but not right now! I have a dog myself and use rovers often for dog walking and house sitting when we are traveling or out of town, so I understand how important the quality of care is for your animal. My dog was diagnosed with epilepsy in March, so I have plenty of experience with special needs dogs. Their well being will be my top priority when I am walking them or watching them. My beagle is naturally very curious and always looking to get into things, so I am experienced with always having eyes on dogs when I am watching them or walking them. I have experience walking reactive dogs and can ensure their safety is my top priority when they are in my care. If I am at your house, I will be respectful and ensure to keep your home the same way you left it.

About: Hey there, I'm Morgan! My journey in animal care has taken me from the rustic charm of farms, admin in vet offices and a year+ working in the education department at the beautiful Santa Barbara Zoo. I have experience animal handling exotic animals, raising domestic pets like cats, dogs and ducks and caring for farm animals. Each creature I care for becomes a cherished member of my extended family, receiving not just attention, but genuine affection and understanding. I truly believe each animal has a unique spirit and a set of needs that comes along with it. I’m enthusiastic and fully equipped to provide top tier care for your furry friend. I’m currently taking some time off of full-time endeavors to pursue passion projects and online education - during this time my schedule is very flexible! I do not offer services in my own home, but I can provide a comfortable and fun environment for your pet in their own home! I'm an extremely responsible and active person. I love long walks and even longer runs if you have a more active dog! I'm comfortable around any personality that your pet may have and can adjust the type of care I give to their needs!

“Wow! Genevieve could not possibly have been BETTER- for the doggies or bipeds! She was competent, communicative, convivial and fun for everyone. What's more she gave us fabulous tips for town and hiking and the dogs were in LOVE with her from the get go. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my fur babies with her and look forward to doing so for our next trip to Kanab!”

Kathleen R.

“Milda is an amazing sitter! She was patient with my shy kitty and kept me well informed with regular updates. She even went the extra mile by helping me tackle a tough kitty stain on my white sofa. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking her services again.”

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.

Taking the best possible care of our animals is the number one concern.

About: Hi! I’m Hope. Originally from Wisconsin and now living on LA’s west side, I’ve always been a huge dog lover. I grew up with a black Lab and have yet to meet any dog I didn’t adore. My friends joke that dogs naturally gravitate toward me. After caring for so many Rover client dogs, I finally decided to get my own! I have an adorable golden retriever named Zeppelin at home who loves all animals and all humans. He loves playing and hanging out with his animal friends. Taking care of dogs is fun for me, but it’s even more enjoyable for him. As a dog mom, I understand the importance of leaving your fur baby with someone you can trust. It’s a huge deal, and even more of a big deal for your dog. I’m happy to do meet and greets and ensure it’s a good fit for your baby. Whether we’re going for walks, playing fetch, exploring new smells, or heading to the beach, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and attention throughout the day. If your pup enjoys the sand, there’s a good chance we’ll spend time at the beach tossing a ball, going for walks, and soaking up the sunshine together. However, if your dog does better inside, we can absolutely do that too. Basically, it’s your dog’s world and I’m just living in it! 🥰 I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive a minimum of two 30-minute walks daily, along with additional outdoor time, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. My apartment is spacious, pet-friendly, and located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Whether your dog loves adventures or prefers cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I’m a great communicator and will always keep you updated while you’re away. Please let me know about any routines, preferences, or special needs your dog has! I want to make their stay as enjoyable as possible. I’m available for walks and dog care anytime between 8:00 am and 10:00 pm. I have a ton of flexibility during the work day since I’m a remote worker. I ensure dogs get out for a minimum of two 30 minute walks and plenty of potty breaks. My apartment is a spacious and pet-friendly space located in a safe, peaceful residential area. They’re always welcome on the furniture inside. Whether they love lounging on the couch or enjoying outdoor time, your pet will definitely feel right at home with me 🥰

“Kirstin was an excellent sitter! Quick to build a bond with my cat and I knew she was taking good care of him while I was gone! Will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I’m Ana, a lifelong dog lover and proud Doberman mom ❤️ My life revolves around giving my 3 year old 95lb baby the best life. My Milo is a high energy breed who has had reactivity and behavioral issues in the past (he is not dog friendly unfortunately). However, my love for him made me seek out professional dog training which gave me the knowledge to properly enrich his life to make him feel happy and confident even with other dogs around. I’m especially comfortable with large, high-energy, and overstimulated dogs but have no problem handling small dogs as well :) I understand that every dog has a different personality and threshold, and I don’t believe in forcing interactions with other dogs or overwhelming them during walks. I’m also a pediatric registered nurse which I hope builds your trust in me to care for your furry babies like they are my own! I’d love to meet your pup and become someone you can rely on to provide a productive, positive and fun session for your dog 🐾 Mid day potty breaks weekdays and weekends if needed. My schedule is ever changing so I am really flexible. Send me a message and I’m sure we can work something out :) Because of my experience in raising Milo, I learned a lot about leash handling, reading canine body language, managing triggers, creating structure, and keeping walks calm and controlled. I’ve also worked extensively on obedience. With me, your dog won’t just be going on a walk. We will make the most of our time and incorporate basic obedience when we’re together.

About: I am an animal person through and through. I currently care for a 14-year-old cat who has very specific needs. I have been dog-sitting my neighbor’s young Labradoodle since she was a puppy. After getting my first dog at 8, I have always had a pet. Animal care has always been important to me. I was involved in training my yellow lab growing up, and was able to recall those skills to teach my neighbor's labradoodle to sit. Your pet is important to me. Their care will be prioritized within my day. My freelance work allows me to accommodate your schedule and your pets' needs. I understand that welcoming new people into your home can be stressful for humans and pets alike. I am committed to providing safe care and companionship for your pet while respecting your and your pet's space and needs during walks and visits.

About: 🐾 About Me During my four years of college, I went on to foster six dogs over my 4 years at UCLA: four puppies and two adults - each with their own unique needs. Whether it was managing special diets, administering medications, or simply giving extra patience and love to a dog still finding their footing, I learned how to adapt and show up for every personality and situation. Over the years I’ve built experience across a wide range of breeds: from energetic Labs and loyal German Shepherds to golden retrievers, terriers, poodles, and everything in between. Big or small, high-energy or laid-back, I know how to read a dog and meet them where they are. Being based in Ocean Park/Santa Monica and having a flexible work schedule, I am able to be genuinely present, not just fitting walks in between errands, but actually looking forward to them. Getting outside, putting in miles along the beach, and spending real time with dogs is something I genuinely love. Your pup won’t just be getting exercise, they’ll be getting attention, care, and a walker who’s happy to be there. I treat every dog like my own. I’d love to meet yours. 🐶 I’m available for early morning walks before 9am, afternoon walks after 4pm, and have extended midday availability on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. Please message me about weekend availability! My pets are my family and I recognize that these dogs are a member of someone else’s family. I treat them as such with love and respect just as if I were babysitting a human!

“Ashley is super responsive and great with our 2 cats. She asks all the right questions when your mind is focused on upcoming trip so nothing is forgotten. She goes above/beyond and takes the best photos which is kind of fun to see while you’re away. Pretty sure our cats didn’t miss us thanks to Ashley being so great. I highly recommend contacting Ashley.”
