Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Westwood

About: I have pet sit for friends and families over the years. I have lived in the same house with multiple cats and dogs for the 10 years and frequently cared for them when people were out of town for weeks. I love spending time with precious pets and taking good care of these precious babies. I am currently in graduate school so I have some flexibility throughout my daily and weekly routine as long it is ahead of time! Preferrably early in the morning before the workday or evening works great. I want to get to meet and learn about each pet during the meet and greet. I create cozy and familiar environment for your pets by playing with them, favorite toys and routines. This helps reduce their stress and create comfort right at home.

“Elizabeth is punctual, communicative and very considerate. She even brought her own laser pointer to play with our kitties because we couldn’t find ours.”

“Wendy provided excellent care and attention for my two cats for 2 weeks. The report cards were full and she even won over my reluctant scaredy cat. She made sure they stayed safe and healthy during an unexpected heatwave”

“Mariana was fantastic! I’m so grateful she was available for a last minute booking. She was super communicative and took such great care of my cats and I loved the photos she shared after each visit. I would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 15 years old and have experience dog walking, house sitting, and helping care for pets for family and friends. Over the years, I’ve handled daily routines including walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently have three dogs of my own and also have experience caring for goats and other animals. Being around animals for so long has made me patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I already care for animals every day. Since I’ll be staying in the Santa Monica/LA area and have a very flexible schedule, I’ll have plenty of time to give your pets attention, walks, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I’m happy to prioritize in my routine rather than trying to fit in last minute. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, and bathroom breaks while also keeping an eye on their behavior and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect the owner’s instructions and make sure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and giving pets patience and attention based on their personality and energy level. Since I’ve been around animals for years and currently have pets of my own, I understand how important reliable and loving care is for both pets and owners.

About: I have had pets all of my life and they truly bring me so much joy. I have had dogs as pets all of my life and I understand their needs and how to give them lots of love! I have experience with puppies, small dogs, big dogs, and elder doggies. I wasn’t allowed to have cats due to my dad’s allergies, but I volunteered at CARMA cat shelter for over a year to love on kitties in need of homes, and to learn how to understand cat caretaking. I love training my parent’s dog and teaching him fun tricks (rolling over, play dead, stand up). I’ve been trusted enough to take care of my friend’s cats and dogs when they are on vacation, it brings me so much joy to be trusted with and love on good doggies and kitties. I am a college student, so now that school is out of session for me, I am only working a part-time job. Outside of that job, I have plenty of time and nights to walk/stay the nights with your pets. I own a car so I have reliable means to travel to your homes, and I will always communicate quickly about how my schedule will fit into your pet’s needs. I will always follow any directions about how to care for your pet and your home. I will leave your home cleaner than it was before and try my best to make it seem as if I was not there. I want you to feel like your home is completely safe while you are away so all anxieties are eased. I will send you cute photos of your pet and always give you updates when needed!

About: I grew up with two family dogs, and to this day am honored to be trusted with caring for friends’ fur babies on weekends that call for it. I love to care for pets as if they were my own I work remotely so am thankfully quite flexible. Daily after-work walks (post-5pm) or weekend walks are a delight. I work with pet parents to ensure optimal bathroom and walking schedules. I have a spacious downstairs floor suited to hosting pets. In other people’s homes, I am mindful of the environment and of the pet parents’ instructions. Moreover, I make sure to leave properties as I’ve found them, or in otherwise better conditions for the safety and comfort of pets.

“Sai was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of my cat, and communicated thoroughly about every visit. I felt my cat was in good hands with him. I would definitely book him again in the future.”

“Sherilee was amazing with our cats! She made sure to interact with them and kept us up to date with what they were doing and what they were up to! We appreciate her attention to detail and would definitely recommend! Thank you so much!”

About: Hi! My name is Lily and I go to UCSD but live here in LA and I’m home for the summer!I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved taking care of them. For the past three years, my family and I have been fostering dogs and have helped care for over 20 dogs, including a mama dog and her five puppies from birth all the way to adoption! Through fostering, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve worked on basic training like potty training, crate training, and simple commands such as sit, stay, and come. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped care for both dogs and cats. That experience taught me how to handle different temperaments and made me even more comfortable working with animals. I’m very responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a high school student, so I’m at school during the day, but I’m available after 3 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I have a flexible schedule after school, which allows me to spend quality time with your pet, whether that’s walks, playtime, or check-ins. I’m also reliable and good at sticking to your pet’s routine! I live in a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard where dogs can play securely. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and following their usual routines. I’m experienced with basic training and can crate if needed. I also take a calm and gentle approach, especially with shy or nervous pets, and will always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being.

“Lisa is an amazing dog sitter! She is gentle and kind to my dog who currently can’t walk and is having health issues.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. From family, friends, neighbors, and more I have dog-sat and walked a wide variety of dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperament. In addition to dog sitting and walking I have also fostered dogs and helped over 50 rescue dogs find there forever homes. This has given me lots of experience with simple training, younger dogs, and dogs from more stressful backgrounds. I am working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I am always available for drop dog walking or sitting. I can also work with your schedule to create something more consistent if desired. When it comes to walking I always want to take the safest and most comfortable approach for the dog. So I like to understand their favorite paths, treats, leash, etc. When staying over I generally provide a morning and evening walk with at-home playtime in between, but can always adjust to the dogs needs. I also like to stay with the dog as long as I am able so they feel comfortable. I always want to follow what the dogs needs so they feel at ease while their human families are away and like their regular routine isn't too disrupted.

About: Taken care of three dogs and cats over the years along with volunteering at my local shelters. Great with animals and people of all types. Currently working part time so as long as there is sufficient notice I’m happy to be on pet care duties for as little or long as necessary. Have a small home but private home, safe space for pets of all kinds. I prefer to go on walks and keep pets active and engaged while they spend time with me.

“Madeline is a trustworthy and loving caretaker of our puppies. She is definitely our go to for all of our sitting and walking needs.”

About: I have lived with big dogs for my entire life. I have spent the last 15 years of my life feeding, walking, caring and loving dogs. I have dog sat for numerous friends and am very active in my day to day life for walks! Walking dogs is something that I incorporate into my daily life. I have the time, energy and resources to do so routinely. I love being able to engage and interact with the dogs! Pets are part of a family and should be treated as such! Caring for a pet is always taken with the utmost respect for the animal.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my whole life and have always loved being around them. I have my own dog, so I understand how important it is to find someone caring, patient, and trustworthy to look after your pet. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits/checkups and will always make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ve always loved dogs, and I honestly enjoy walking them. I’m doing Rover because I’d love to spend more time with dogs while helping owners who need an extra hand. I treat every walk like I’m caring for my own pet — with attention, patience, and lots of love. My schedule is very flexible, and I understand that life happens, so I try to be as accommodating as possible if plans change or cancellations come up. I am more than happy to send updates while taking care of your dog and will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has their own routine and personality, so I try to make each visit or walk as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have owned four of my own, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I currently care for two dogs and have been deeply involved in all aspects of their daily routines, including walking, feeding, training, and play. I also have meaningful experience caring for senior dogs, including providing extra patience, comfort, and attention to their changing needs. This has helped me become very attentive, gentle, and responsive to subtle changes in behavior or health. What sets me apart is how much I truly enjoy being around dogs! I love staying active with them, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m currently in my last year at UCLA, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available early in the mornings and after 2–3 PM for walks, drop-in visits, and playtime. I’m also available on weekends and select weekdays for house sitting, depending on your needs. I love incorporating dog care into my daily routine, whether that’s starting the morning with a walk or spending afternoons keeping pets active, happy, and engaged. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I make sure to follow any routines or instructions you provide closely so your dog feels secure and at home, even when you’re away. During walks and visits, I stay alert to surroundings, keep dogs on secure leashes, and prioritize safe, calm environments. I’m very mindful of each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra care. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and committed to maintaining a stress-free environment for your pet. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always feel connected and reassured.

About: I've had dogs growing up my entire life so I've always been lucky to play with and take care of a furry friend! I've personally grown up with a Black Lab, a Jack Russell Terrier, and most recently, our Shih Tzu named Diego! Each pup has been so different and I've loved being able to love on them and care for such loving and cuddly dogs! In addition to the dogs my family has had/still has, I've taken care of neighbors' dogs on and off for the past 5 years through either walks throughout the day, trips to the park, or overnight visits. I love being with dogs however I can so I can't wait to meet your sweet fur baby! I'm currently working full-time but only go into the office Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to be much more flexible on those days, and typically have open availability on weekends as well if that fits better into your dog care schedule! I live in an apartment complex that allows dogs in the building so your pup would be safe and happy here. Additionally, I live just a short walk from Westwood Park so I would easily be able to walk your dog over to the park to play outside and interact with other pups (as long as interacting with other pups is okay with you)!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and currently have a husky rescue of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs, walks, playtime, feeding routines, and lots of cuddles. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to pet sit, house sit, do check-ins, and care for their pets while away. I’m very reliable, attentive, and easygoing, and will always treat your pets with so much love! 🤍🌸🐶 I have a very flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends, and I’m always happy to work with different routines and pet needs! I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their own environment. I’m also very communicative and happy to send photo updates for peace of mind 🤍🐱🐶
