Dog Boarding in Santa Monica

“My dog is eccentric and has his little quirks. Arthur was welcoming and inquisitive; it’s obvious he deeply cares for animals. My dog Wolfgang came home relaxed and peaceful, which tells me the environment was calm and nurturing. Excellent communication-an ideal experience. Thank you, Arthur!”

“This was my 2nd time booking Charli and I’m so happy she was available to watch my pup. Charli is so attentive and detailed which always leaves me 100% reassured that my pup is in safe and caring hands. Thank you again Charli!”

“Mariia has been the best dog sitter ever. She took care of our pup with so much love and treated her like her own. Nyx looked healthy and happy when brought back. She sent constant communication, videos, pics and kept her clean. Couldn’t have asked for anything more and am recommending to friends of mine!”

“Olivia took great care of Scooby, she was very communicative and Scooby seemed to enjoy his time with her! Highly recommend using Olivia as your rover sitter 😊”

“Stephanie was amazing! Sent lots of pictures and updates throughout my fur babies stay. My pup had such a good time, she didn’t want to leave!”

“BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! I am now SOLD on Aaron as my go-to-guy. Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin with reviewing Aaron. Being a pet-parent who is obsessed with my fur babies, I refuse to except anything but the best for them. Clearly, my inabilibty to find someone I wholeheartedly trust, has been limiting to my freedom. I was TERRIFIED to use/trust strangers from an app-based pet care service. When Jared told me about Aaron I was overjoyed. I hoped my pups would love him. Well, I got my wish! When my pups returned home hey CRIED, lol! They were upset that he left without them. I am finally free to travel and just have some time to myself again. That’s the short of it. If you want to know the specifics, keep reading. BEFORE THEIR STAY: 5⭐ for Flexibility and Convenience Aaron definitely delivered. My work schedule was jammed before my trip. I only had a small window and he offered to pop in to do a quick meet-n-greet. Instantly, the pups were drawn to him. I was only going to do 2 days and then opted to extend to 4 days, so (being new to the app) he helped me make the adjustment with ease. He made sure to ask about and fulfill on any special requests/scheduled of my dogs. I could tell in person he was tuned into the needs, personalities, and behaviors of each dog. I saw him engage with each dog in a firm yet friendly, loving, and caring manner. I knew I was leaving them in the right place where my pup would receive plenty of love and attention. Dropping them off was quick, convenient, and smooth. DURING THEIR STAY: 5⭐ for Communication and Positive Interactions Aaron was very quick to reply to my comments, questions, concerns, and needs. He also provided updates without any prompting which alleviated anxiety and created calm. He’s a very calm and easy going guy. His communications were consistently comforting and reassuring. I was delighted by the myriad of pup-pics he sent! It gave me an “staying-in-the-loop” experience, which inspired the calm and confidence I needed to mentally and emotionally unplug from being a pup-parent while I was away. These pics highlighted adventures and fun they were having and Aaron’s experience and expertise required to create a exciting, safe, and calm experience for everyone. I could tell he has a good working knowledge of dog behavior, needs, and care. 5⭐ for Environment, Safety and Supervision Aaron’s place is its own pup-amusement park (like a little maze of things) to explore and plenty of places to lounge. I was happy to see (and smell) how clean the place was. He was quick on the draw when one of the pup already in his care piddled on the floor from excitement, lol. He already has a plan in place including a nearby vet to handle emergencies, which is also reassuring. 5⭐ for Exercise and Playtime He even took a field trip so my pups could go to their favorite dog park (which isn’t close to where he live) which absolutely sealed the deal for making Aaron my permanent go-to dog sitter. They had so much fun my pups were EXHAUSTED for two days after her dropped them off! I’ve never seen my high-energy 3yr old Gus be completely wiped out. THANK GOD FOR AARON … most likely I’ll hire him weekly to get some of that energy out. AFTER THEIR STAY: 5⭐ for Return and Follow Up Aaron was right on time for the drop-off and he remembered all the things I left with him for their visit. As I mentioned before, the dogs cried after her left and they kept going to the door in anticipation of his return, lol. Other than that they took lots of naps the following two days and and slept soundly through the night. As an aside, it also seems like Gus’s behavior (wild energy) was tamed. Overall, I am the most delighted client ever. I am SOLD on Aaron. Try him, you will be too!”

“Nicole was absolutely phenomenal! We had a few things arise during the visit, but Nicole handled them beautifully and kept me updated the entire time. 10/10 because 5/5 stars isn’t enough. If she’s available, book it!”

“Mickie is the best! I needed a last minute sitter for a work trip and she was happy to help! I have a high-energy, but very anxious, 2 year old dog that does not do well alone and Mickie listened and made sure she was comfortable and well-cared for. My dog, Piper, had a blast playing with her dog (Mickie shared pics and videos which made me relieved and happy) and I could tell Piper had a great time when she got home. Mickie also helped ease my work travel by picking her up and dropping her off which was a huge help. If you are in need of a great sitter on the west side I highly recommend Mickie! 😊”

“Helena was an amazing sitter! She was quick to respond, attentive and gave updates multiple times a day! My dog got along with hers and she went as far to let my pup sleep in her bed with her. Would recommend Helena for your next sit!”

“Kayla and Ilkin were amazing. My pup stayed with them for a couple weeks while I traveled overseas for work. I got daily video updates of all the fun activities he was doing and he was sad to leave. So happy to have found them and will be using again <3.”

“Garima was an excellent dog sitter to my boy Rafa. She is so friendly and welcoming. Garima closely followed my pup’s care guide, kept me updated, was very responsive, and made sure Rafa got the care and attention he needed. I would highly recommend Garima to watch over your pet.”

“Liz took amazing care of my corgi while I was away. She provided daily updates, and it was clear she truly cared for my furry friend. I highly recommend her as a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.”

“Emily took such great care of Abba while we were away! She has such a fun set up for the dogs and sent me the CUTEST pictures and videos throughout the weekend. Would definitely book again!”

“Max loves staying with Roxy! We took a trip to Europe for 9 days this time and are always assured Max will get great care and have fun with her. She sends photos daily to keep us informed about his day and it’s so comforting to see how happy he is when we’re away.”

“Jackie is a real gem! Her 2 little dogs welcomed mine right away in their dog friendly home. I’m very happy to know that such great care is available!”

“Stefanie is fantastic! She is very communicative, thoughtful and sensitive to the needs of her client. My pup needed extra attention and she went above and beyond to make sure he was feeling comfortable. Based on the photos that Stefanie provided along with regular updates I could tell my pup was happy and in excellent care. I would rebook again anytime for my with Stefanie! Thank you Stefanie!”

“Thanks for having Charley during my trip ! You guys are the best ! It’s nice to have someone very trustworthy you can count on doing a great job !”

“Jess and Max were very flexible with drop-off and pick up. Our dog is a very nervous and anxious dog but they made sure to give her space for the first day, which helped a lot. Our dog eventually warmed up quickly to them. Jess and Max were extremely communicative and gave pictures/updates at least twice a day! Will for sure use them again.”

“Giselle, our dog sitter, was simply amazing! ?❤️ She took excellent care of our beloved Archie during our 4-day trip. We couldn't be more grateful! Thank you, Giselle! ??”

“My dog Shadow had a wonderful time with Mia! The entire time, Mia was very communicative and provide photo/video updates. I know my dog was happy by all the tummy rub pics and happy walking photos!”
