Dog Walking & Pet Sitting in Santa Monica

Ocean-View Walks at Palisades Park

Palisades Park is one of the most scenic walking destinations in all of Los Angeles. Stretching along the bluffs above the Pacific Coast Highway, this narrow strip of green space offers unobstructed ocean views, mature trees, and a relatively calm pedestrian environment for dogs who enjoy visual stimulation without the chaos of the beach itself. Our team walks this route regularly and knows the quieter entry points, the best morning light for your dog's care card photos, and the sections where foot traffic is lightest.

For dogs who prefer a less stimulating environment, the residential streets just east of Ocean Avenue provide wide, shaded sidewalks and minimal traffic. We design every route around your dog's temperament, energy level, and comfort zone. Whether they want to stop and sniff every palm tree or power through a brisk 60-minute walk, we match their pace and preferences exactly.

Virginia Avenue Park, Marine Park & Neighborhood Routes

Santa Monica is full of green space tucked between its residential blocks, and our walkers use every bit of it. Virginia Avenue Park offers a calm, grassy environment perfect for dogs who benefit from decompression walks and scent work. Marine Park, near the southern border of Santa Monica, provides a spacious open area with low foot traffic during midday hours, making it an excellent option for dogs who need space.

We also incorporate routes through the quieter residential corridors between Montana Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard, where wide sidewalks and mature shade trees create an ideal walking environment. For dogs who thrive on variety, we rotate between different neighborhoods within Santa Monica to prevent route fatigue and keep every outing fresh and engaging.

The Third Street Promenade Area & Beach-Adjacent Routes

While we do not walk dogs directly on the beach (sand and salt water can be uncomfortable for many dogs and the environment is difficult to control), our routes frequently run along the streets adjacent to the Santa Monica Pier area and the Third Street Promenade district. These areas offer interesting sensory experiences for confident, well-socialized dogs: new smells, the sound of the ocean, and a variety of surfaces and environments to keep their minds active.

We are careful to avoid the busiest tourist blocks during peak hours, instead timing our routes through these areas during quieter morning and early afternoon windows. Every walk is planned, never improvised. Your dog's comfort and safety always come first.

Trusted by Santa Monica's Tech and Creative Professionals

Santa Monica's Silicon Beach corridor is home to some of the most demanding professionals on the Westside. Long hours, unpredictable schedules, and frequent travel mean your dog needs reliable, consistent care from someone who shows up on time and communicates clearly. That is exactly what BWB delivers. Our team operates on a consistent schedule, sends a full care card with photos and GPS route data after every visit, and handles all logistics through our secure platform.

We understand that busy professionals do not have time to micromanage their dog's care. Once onboarding is complete, everything runs seamlessly. Your assigned team member knows your dog's routine, your security setup, and your preferences. You get peace of mind and a happy, well-exercised dog waiting for you at the end of a long day.

Pack Walks Available in Santa Monica

Santa Monica is one of only two neighborhoods where BWB currently offers small group pack walks. Each group is capped at five dogs, and every participant must complete a compatibility evaluation before joining. Groups are matched by size, energy level, and temperament to ensure a safe, structured outing for everyone involved.

Pack walks are 60 minutes long and cover some of Santa Monica's best walking routes. They are ideal for social dogs who benefit from structured group interaction rather than the unpredictability of a dog park. Your dog receives the same care card, photos, and videos that come standard with every BWB service.
