Dog Walking Alamitos Heights

About: I’ve always had pets growing up and have always pet sat for neighbors and friends. I always stick to your pets scheduled routine. I also genuinely love to spend time with pets other than mine. 😊 I’m currently a full time student at csulb studying Biochem, so I have Fridays and weekends pretty much free! I do however have some gaps in between classes that I could squeeze in pet drop ins. My pets along with clients pets usually stick to or have a schedule that I always like to follow as I find this creates the most amount of comfort for them especially while their parent is away. I love to spend time with pets especially now that I am away from my pets back home for college.

About: Hello, my name is Tru!! I am a respectful girl and reliable when it comes to tasks and care. I love animals more than anything and I’m a huge dog person. I own a cat for 2 years and I took care of many of my family pets as well as owned dogs. I would be pleased to to meet your cute pets❤️❤️ I have recently been taking care of a 13 year old pit bull and shes so cute and sweet!! I am an unemployed 18 year old who is free almost all the time. Looking for lasting clients to take care of in this field. I treat pets in my home as sweet as possible even if their personality varies when it comes to affection. I treat pets in others home as the houses most prized possession because they are, lol.

About: I have experience with many types of animals in the past few years. From large dogs such as huskies, golden retrievers to bulldogs. To smaller dogs such as Shih Tzu, Frenchies and even new born puppies! I also have experience with bird care and rodents. A love for animals means to give them the best quality care. I am currently working part time with mid day-closing shifts. I tend to have 2-3 days off a weeks, which allows me to be able to have dedicated time to take care of people’s furry babies. I am very aware of my surroundings so when it comes to client homes. I’ll keep a good eye on not just the pet, but the care for the home. Any loose toys, objects or cables will be protected and remain out of sight of the pet for their safety. I’ll take care and make sure your pet has the fun they need, while maintaining a tidy home.

About: I joined Rover in October 2025 but I’ve been caring for animals for decades and have a deep appreciation for the comfort and companionship they bring. Before joining Rover, I was (and still am!) the go-to resource for friends and family who needed cat, dog, and house sitting. Now, I’m excited serve the Long Beach community :) Whether I’m spending time with a playful pup or a senior, I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. New Rover clients are eligible for a $20 credit: https://www.rover.com/sit/erins70354 I work remotely, Monday through Friday, and have flexibility for morning and day time care - walks, feedings, socializing. I can also provide care in the early or late evenings, working around dinner and gym time. For house sitting requests, I am currently able to offer spending 8-10 hours with your pet during the day, but am unable to offer overnight care at this time. I do my best to keep pets comfortable by sticking to their usual routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medication, training, and anything else they need. I’m careful with doors and gates, clean up after them and myself, and send updates so you know how things are going.

“Elise really did amazing with my very anxious rescue dog. She went above and beyond. She clearly has a gift for working with animals. I would highly recommend her for petsitting/dog walking. Five stars!”

She’s just recovering from surgery so he took extra care with her to make sure her meds and potty schedule adhere to the doctors orders! I will keep counting on Christopher to be there for Rosie in the future!!”

About: Hi there! I've been working with pets for 9 years and counting. I specialize in big/small dogs, cats, and small mammals. Additionally, I have 4 years of experience caring for reptiles and aquatic animals. If you have a 'weird' animal or an animal that is not listed for care on Rover, contact me! I'll be more than happy to care for your critter with proper written instructions :) I'm currently a college student with morning and evening classes. My daily schedule is open for early to late afternoon and nightly visits. Upon contact a descriptive schedule will be provided for the length of pet care to ensure the best outcome for your fuzzy friend. I can ensure safety and trust between me and your fuzzy friend by respecting their boundaries and following their schedules. Additionally, I carry experience with pet CPR, hold an emergency crate in my car, and will adapt to any needs your pet describes.

About: I’ve spent much of my adult life in roles where people trusted me with things that mattered to them like their homes, businesses, teams and even careers. I spent my undergraduate years as an Assistant Property Manager before becoming an LAX operations leader and former full-time recruiter, and I bring that same sense of responsibility to more than 10 years of caring for pets. I have especially good experience with senior animals: more than half of the dogs and cats I’ve cared for have been seniors. I love their personalities and am comfortable adjusting to slower walks, medication schedules, established routines and the little preferences that become especially important as pets get older. Even re-potty training them! At the other end of the spectrum, I’m an active person and outrigger paddler, so energetic dogs are very welcome too. Long walks, play and outdoor time fit my lifestyle after having been in grad school in upstate New York. My approach is individualized. My experience has taught me how much better the outcome is when you listen first, ask good questions and understand what constitutes a good fit. Pets aren’t any different. I want to learn their personality and normal routine so I can meet them where they are. My goal is for you to come home thinking, "My pets and home are happy, healthy, safe and ready for me to come back without skipping a beat." My schedule is flexible, and I plan my day around each pet’s routine. I often work from my computer remotely during the day and have broad availability for walks, drop-ins and house sitting. I do have activities outside the home, including early-morning outrigger paddling, but I make sure feeding, potty breaks, medication and other important routines are taken care of first. For house sitting, I’m generally a good fit for pets who are comfortable alone for 4–6 hours at a time, or longer when that is already part of their normal routine. I’m happy to talk through your pet’s schedule before booking and adjust where I reasonably can. I like to begin with a meet-and-greet so I can understand your pet’s normal behavior, routine, medications, household setup and emergency plan before care begins. I review instructions carefully and ask questions upfront that may include how you want me to communicate if something unexpected happens. I pay attention to changes that can be easy to miss, from unusual itching or appetite changes to changes in energy, bathroom habits or behavior, and I’ll let you know when something seems out of the ordinary. I’m equally conscientious with the home itself. I’m a “leave it better than you found it” person. I keep the spaces I use tidy, handle mail and packages according to your preferences, take out trash, water plants and care for linens when appropriate. If you already have cleaners, gardeners or other small business service providers, I’m happy to work around the systems you already have.

“Very reliable!”

About: I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I am a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver with several years of experience working as a nanny. Caring for children has taught me the importance of patience, safety, consistency, and attention to individual needs, qualities that I bring to pet care as well. I have experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while their owners were away. As an active triathlete, I enjoy spending time outdoors and can provide energetic walks and exercise for dogs who need it. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to follow owners' instructions carefully, provide regular updates, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own. My primary availability is on Fridays and weekends (Saturday and Sunday) if you are in Long Beach. Starting in September (09/07/2026) , I will also be available (Monday- Thursday) for morning walks in Orange County, including Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and Irvine, between approximately 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM. Feel free to reach out if your schedule falls outside these hours, and I will do my best to accommodate when possible. My focus is on providing safe, reliable, and enjoyable walks for your dog. I understand how important it is for pets to maintain their regular routine, so I always follow the owner's instructions regarding walking routes, exercise needs, feeding schedules, and any specific preferences. As an active person, I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and helping dogs get the physical activity and fresh air they need. During every walk, I prioritize safety, awareness of the environment, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and respect, and I am committed to providing dependable care and clear communication with pet parents. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I work best with dogs who enjoy structured walks and outdoor time.

About: My name is Andy! I am a young professional who works from home in the Belmont Shore neighborhood of Long Beach, CA. I have a Boston Terrier and grew up with 2 labs. I walked dogs for various families throughout high school and college and have volunteered at Wagtime doggy daycare in Washington, D.C. I am an enthusiast and experienced dog-walker and care-taker. My love for dogs will be evident the first time you meet me! I am also responsible, punctual, and trust-worthy. You can count me on me to not only hold our appointments, but go above and beyond for you and your pup. Your dog's safety and happiness are very important to me, and I pay close attention to details like medical/physical needs and comfort-level around other dogs. After a session, you can count on me to lock your home and leave it exactly as I found it out, with the addition of a well-walked and happy dog. I work full-time from home and have flexible availability during the week and on weekends. I'm also open to nighttime visits. I love a good night walk! I have a 4 year old Boston Terrier who means the world to me. I also grew up with an elderly lab with arthritis in her legs. I know how much dogs mean to their pet owners (parents, really). It's very important to me that your dog is happy and that you can go about your day worry-free knowing I'm taking good care of your pet.

About: 🦮🐕‍🦺🐕🐩🐕‍🦺🦮 Dog Experience 🦮🐕‍🦺🐩🐕🐕‍🦺🦮 I have experience caring for a wide range of dogs, including pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, english bullterriers, bulldogs, poodles, and american bullies. I’ve raised and trained my current dog (Bruce Wayne) from a puppy and cared for my previous dog (Stella Rose) through all stages of life. Stella died from pancriatic cancer, giving me experience with senior care as well. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels, from high-energy dogs (like Bruce Wayne) to low energy dogs and older pets (like Stella Rose). 🐈‍⬛🐟🦜🐸🐢 Other Pet Experience 🐢🐸🦜🐟🐈‍⬛ I have experience with all different kinds of animals, from cats, to reptiles and aquatic pets. I particuarly have experience with cats, pac-man frogs, suckerfish, shrimp, pond fish, my grandmother's evil sun conure & golden jenday mixed bird, and turtles. Even though I don't have much experience with hamsters, mice, snakes, spiders, lizards and other animals, I am comfortable with all of them & feeding them their respective meals (live or dried). 🫶🏻 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ About Me ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m very patient and understanding with all pets. I’ve worked with shy, agressive & what many would consider to be straight up evil (my grandmothers bird) animals, earning their trust over time. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Sometimes pets can have a difficult time eating because of how much they miss their owners. If this happens (& if it's okay with the owners) I'll typically hand feed them to make sure your pet is getting the nutrition they need while your away. 🫶🏻 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Schedule ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ I’m currently a college student at CSULB with a pretty consistent class schedule & outside of school activities, which allows me to plan my pet care visits according to that. Depending on the day I’m typically available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure to schedule my time so pets receive all the attention, walks, and care that they need. I’m dependable and communicate clearly if anything in my schedule changes. Right now I'm on summer break so I'm available almost all the time! 🫶🏻 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 Enviornment 🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠 I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, exercise, and any specific needs. I’m attentive to behavior and prioratize making sure pets feel secure in their own home. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind while they’re away.

“Evynn is very loving and compassionate with pets. She took very good care of Scooty even during rainy days. She sent us rover cards on daily basis which had pics of Scooty having fun playing and walking with her. Will definitely return to her for future needs. :)”
