Pet Sitting in Westlake Village

About: Hi! I’m Julia and dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with an Old English Sheepdog that I miss dearly, and caring for her showed me how amazing it is to have a strong bond with a pet. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to help care for your pup! I’m currently applying to graduate school and have a very open schedule. I’m available most weekdays and am often available on weekends, allowing me to provide flexible care for your pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping a routine, I focus on making sure your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Kayla dropped in for two days- four visits, at my home to watch my doggie while I was away. I felt complete trust and confidence in Kayla when I met her. She took loving care of my Labrador and followed the instructions I left perfectly. She updated me on all details , took amazing pics of my dog and made sure she was happy and safe on her walks and when they returned. I’m so glad we found Kayla to take care of our lab while we were away ! I hope she is able to return for future drop-in’s. I highly recommend her !”

“This was our second time working Zoe. She is was lovely to work with the first time and as someone who is an anxious dog mom, Zoe helps me feel like my baby is being taken care of! She sends photos and updates throughout the visit and is gentle when approaching typically wary dog. I highly recommend her!”

About: I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I had a lab growing up and have rescued 3x dogs since. I am transitioning from Alexandria, VA to an internship in Santa Monica. I’m looking to house sit and walk your pups to avoid or offset my evening commute back to the valley! Same day bookings accepted! I am a young professional and transitioning military veteran interning normal business hours. I am completely free on weekends and flexible to accommodate you and your pets’ needs! I am comfortable around all types of dogs. I can run with or extensively play with your high energy dog, if requested! For the more senior, sleepy, and smaller dogs, I give great pets!

“Amazing experience — our doggie loved Angela. She is super kind and caring and kept us in the loop throughout the drop in visit. I look forward to working with her again.”

“Brielle did a great job especially since I needed her last minute! She was very professional and responds right away. Everything she said she was going to do she did I watched her on my Ring cameras. My dogs loved her and had the best time!! Definitely only going to her for now on for all my pet needs and you should also! Very trustworthy.”

“I was so nervous to leave my 17 year old cat alone for the first time in his life but Brittany took the BEST care of him. She took so many pics and videos of him and I could tell how much he loved her. He would meow more greeting her than us even haha I couldn’t recommend Brittany enough she is amazing, reliable, and so trustworthy. She was so affectionate towards my cat and he needs his rubs and butt pats like he needs food. She even saved my mom’s car from being towed from a spot in our neighborhood which was above and beyond! I will definitely be booking with her anytime we need a sitter again in the future!”

“Kendall was absolutely AMAZING with our cutie pitbull while we were out of town. He was super responsive and you can tell based on the pictures that were sent that our girl was SO incredibly happy to play and walk with him. He was even so considerate to coordinate with my MIL to have a meet and greet before officially coming to take care of her. Highly highly recommend!! Thank you, Kendall!”

“Very reliable and professional.”

“Vickie is absolutely the best! She took care of our little Chloe as if she were her own! We will try to always book her to care for our precious fur baby!”

About: I’ve grown up in a household with dogs my entire life and have extensive experience caring for pets’ daily needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience cat sitting and understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine while their owners are away. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy running, hiking, and long walks, so I’m happy to provide dogs with any exercise and enrichment they might need. I also have experience caring for senior and special-needs pets, including my family's deaf dog, which taught me the importance of adapting to each pet’s unique needs. As an incoming senior at UCLA, I am responsible, organized, and communicative. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, which is why I like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand whenever possible. This allows me to get to know your pet’s personality, routine, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best experience possible. I'm also a big believer in keeping pet parents updated, and since I'm usually glued to my phone anyway, you can count on prompt communication and plenty of photos during any visits I have with your pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a Starbucks lover, I'm always happy to treat a well-behaved pup to a pup cup during an outing or walk if that's something they're allowed to enjoy! I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if needed), and any specific instructions you provide. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level. I will keep your home and pet secure, provide regular updates, and make sure your pet feels cared for and loved while you’re away.

“Royal was extremely helpful and responsible. Thank you Royal!”

About: Passionate dog lover with experience in all breeds and sizes. I’ve handled walks, feeding picky eaters, administering meds, and even attended training classes with clients. Your pup will be in loving, capable hands. I currently have very flexible availability during winter break and can provide care throughout the day. Once classes resume in late January, I’m typically available afternoons, evenings, and overnight, with flexibility depending on location and schedule. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home and treat each space with respect. I follow routines closely, keep pets safe and comfortable, and prioritize trust, communication, and responsible care at all times.

About: The last two dogs I had were the best pets I've ever had, one in particular I took everywhere, hiking, running, swimming and even to play basketball. I even took her halfway up Mt. Diablo one time. I feel like every dog owner should expose their dogs to many outside environments, something other than there backyard or house. The only regrets I have about my past ownership is not taking my dogs out everyday. As an owner I believe that dogs should be treated more than just a convenient stress reliever. Dogs can be your closest friend so they ought to be cared for and treated like a great one. What I bring to the table is a genuine love for all dogs and an understanding of their needs. I can be fairly flexible on weekdays for visits and walks, but am mostly available only in the afternoon. Weekends, I am pretty much always available. House sits I can do any day of the week. To start off, I always start off by caring for the pet as outlined by the owner (routines, feeding schedules, medications, things to avoid, walks). But in addition to that, I like to have some fun with the dogs that I sit. I will play with them a bit and in general just hang out with them.

“AMAZING! I needed help for my aunt who had broken her leg. Heidi was amazing. She went over and above the call of duty. She did so much more than walk my aunt's dog. Best experience ever!”

About: Hi! I'm Marty! I have been an animal lover my whole life. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets when they go on vacation or they are busy. I'd be honored to walk, play with, love, and/or sit for your furry family members when needed. I live in the area, and I am available when your fur babies need some extra attention, exercise, love, and care while you are away. I'm currently available full time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm open and available for boarding as well. I love being outdoors, and going on walks in nature. I also live in a beautiful complex that is pet friendly with lots of outdoor grassy nature areas, and a big park to walk to and play in just three blocks away from me. I can crate your pet too if needed.

About: ***Open to house sit In Santa Monica from Jun 22 to July 8 ‘26*** Grew up in a house with lots of pets including dogs, cats, ducks, chickens and fish. I learned to train puppies and cats from an early age. I’m semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. To walk, sit or take care of a pet as well as I take care of mine would be a joy. I often pet sit friends’ pets when they travel on vacation or for business. I’m go-to person to take care of pets while friends and family are out of town, busy at work, or they need to take pets to vet appointments. I also walk, sit and sometimes stay overnight with them. During 25+ years of doing so no one has had a complain about my care or how I handled their pets.

“Outstanding and reliable, with excellent communication! We have several pets (cat, tortoise, dragon, dogs, fish) and it’s good to know that we can count on Oli to perform our complicated pet routine when we’re away. Thanks!”
