Dog Walking Aliso Viejo

About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and attentiveness I bring to every dog I care for. I cared for my poodle mix for 13 years, giving him a happy life full of walks, beach adventures, and unconditional love. Throughout his life, he experienced ongoing health challenges, which gave me valuable experience providing consistent and attentive care, including managing special diets, administering medications, and paying close attention to changes in his behavior and needs. When I went off to college and left my family dog at home, my care for dogs didn’t stop. I continued working with animals by becoming a dog sitter and walker for my college’s service puppies in training, and I also helped my sister care for various foster dogs. These experiences gave me the opportunity to work with multiple dogs at once, each with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and strengthened my ability to stay attentive, organized, and calm in any situation. Beyond that, I have experience walking neighbors’ dogs and pet sitting for both puppies and senior dogs for friends and family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take pride in making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. When I moved back home a little over two years ago, I returned to caring for my family dog full time. He became my priority in his final years, and I made sure he had daily long walks, multiple trips to the beach each week, and constant companionship and comfort. I’m signing up for Rover because I want to continue sharing the love and dedication I had for my own dog with other pets and families. Caring for him gave me a strong sense of purpose, and I would love the opportunity to provide that same level of attention, companionship, and care to your furry family member. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am currently employed part-time, where I primarily work events during the evenings. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and am looking to add dog walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting to my existing daytime routine and days off. I already enjoy staying active through daily walks and spending time outdoors, and I would love the opportunity to include more dogs in those walks while providing them with exercise, companionship, and attentive care. My flexible availability allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I believe safety and trust are the foundation of great pet care. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine, respect their space, and provide the same level of attention and care I would want for my own dog. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, comfort level, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions from their owner. My 13 years caring for my own poodle mix gave me experience with providing consistent, attentive care, including managing medications, special diets, and recognizing changes in behavior or health needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I will always prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on pets during walks and visits, maintaining a clean and calm environment, and providing updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: Owned dogs for 20 years, but due to previous work travel, haven’t been able to own any recently. Hoping for kid-friendly families so my kids can understand how much care is required. I’m currently on “funemployment”, so I’m fairly open in my schedule for now. In the future this may change, but for now I can take last-minute requests down the most part. In a client’s home, I would maintain whatever requests or rules you have laid out, and I would communicate immediately if I have a question. I am currently not hosting animals in my own home.

“I need a walker for my dog at the last minute and reached out to Yeji. She was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet the same day. I could tell my dog would be well taken care of with her. Yeji did all I asked and provided a very detailed Rover card which I appreciated. Thank you, Yeji!”

“As always, DanaRene is great with our two Shih-Tzus. She is so good with communication and very organized with scheduling. Even when the boys don’t want to walk, she’ll take them out for a bit and there’s always some extra petting and love!”

Kara M.

“Rachel is absolutely AMAZING!! We feel so lucky to have connected with her. She’s not only an extremely sweet person, an incredible communicator, but she is so so good with our Pablo. He warmed up to her instantly and enjoyed being spoiled by her while we were away. Thank you so much Rachel!!”

About: I have some valuable pet care experience, including caring for my own cat and two hamsters. Additionally, I've helped friends by looking after their cats while they were on vacation. I've also had the opportunity to witness the growth and training of my close friend's retriever. While my experience may be limited, it has given me insights into the responsibilities and joys of pet care. Currently, I find myself in the midst of preparing for my dream career as a UX/UI designer, which means I have a flexible schedule and am available to care for your furry friends any day of the week. ❤️ Unconditional Love: Every tail wag, purr, or nuzzle warms my heart. I believe in giving pets the love and attention they deserve, just as if they were my own. 🚶‍♂️ Walks Full of Joy: For your energetic pups, I offer more than just walks; I offer adventures! We'll explore, play, and have a blast together. 🏠 Home Sweet Home: For all your pets, I provide drop-in visits right in the comfort of their own home. There's nothing like familiar surroundings to keep them relaxed and content. 🤗 Personalized Care: Every pet is unique, and I take the time to get to know their individual personalities and needs. Whether they're shy, outgoing, or have special requirements, I'm here to cater to them. 📸 Updates Galore: Expect regular photo and text updates during my visits, so you can see just how much fun we're having together.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have dog walked, house sat for dogs, and helped trained my sister’s puppy. I share a special bond with dogs! I currently am only working part-time, so I will be able to be very attentive with the dog. I can take for multiple walks a day, be active, and even help train more. I live in a condo at the moment with no yard, so I will mostly be taking them for walks or find ways to be active outside of the home. I can crate them in your home if needed, and won’t let them in furniture or beds.

About: My name is Marina and I am a true dog lover ! I was raised with dogs and I always considered them my family. I have been dog sitting for 5 years now and really enjoy having them over or taking them for walks. I’m available to boarding and walk any day and I enjoy taking the dogs for daily walks and to beach if it’s ok with the owner. I have a good size patio that they can sunbathe and I also have a lot of green areas around my neighborhood to go for walks.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have always been an animal lover. I currently have two 3-year-old dogs—a Great Dane and a Mini Goldendoodle—so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I also rescued a Lhasa Apso 13 years ago and cared for him throughout his life until he passed away two years ago. That experience taught me a lot about patience, consistency and caring for a dog through every stage of life. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My goal is to make every dog or cat feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while giving their owner peace of mind. For now, I’m available on weekends since I’m in school during the day. I may be able to help a few evenings during the week as well. I care for pets like they’re my own. I have a mini golden doodle and a Great Dane and am very good at taking care of all their needs. I will do the same for every pet I get to care for.

About: I have had animals since I was eight. I have compassion and patience. I enjoy the animals company and taking care of all their needs I have an open schedule and will accomadate all the animals needs and the pet parents wants for their animals. My goal is to meet all needs I will help pet feel relaxed, calm and not sad while the owner is away. I will play with them and try to make it like a vacation for them.

About: I have always had a love for animals since I came out of the womb! Throughout my life, friends and family have always asked me to watch their pets because they know how much I love to spend time with animals. I’m currently an unemployed, full time pre-med student. I am in my second year at Irvine Valley College. I spend most of my time relaxing at home or studying— which means I have plenty of time to play with or cuddle your pet! I am very dedicated to the health and safety of any animal. It is a top priority to me to ensure that every pet is fed, walked, and played with. Detailed or non detailed, if there is a pet care guide then I will read it top to bottom and stick to it!

“Great walk! Kendall was very nice and punctual, and my dog really enjoyed meeting her.”

“This is the second time Chris has walked Bella, and she was so excited to see him that she actually peed when he arrived. It’s obvious she absolutely loves him. Chris is reliable, professional, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. Bella always comes back happy, and I feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in such good hands.”

About: I've taken care of dogs small and large. And over the years, I've gained more knowledge on what to do and how to keep them safe. What sets me apart is I treat every dog I come across like my own. I give them the same amount of care, love and attention as I would my dog. I'm currently a stay-at-home wife looking to make some extra income. My schedule is completely free and I am usually up around 08:15 AM. My pets are real homebodies and like to stay inside. I take my dog on walks and playing with both of them. I will only let the pets outside if their owners have allowed it.

About: My name is Viktoriya, and I absolutely adore all animals. I have nearly 30 years of experience caring for them, and a deep, intuitive connection with every animal I meet. I truly feel what they need—whether it’s comfort, play, calm, or affection. And they feel it too. Animals naturally trust me, and I treasure that trust with all my heart. Since I was a child, I’ve been surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, hamsters, birds, and more. I grew up helping take care of them every day: feeding, walking, bathing, playing, and just being a loving presence. My grandparents had a home filled with all kinds of animals, from rabbits and homing pigeons to cows and pigs, and I loved every moment spent caring for them. Although I dream of having my own dog one day, my current housing situation doesn’t allow it. That’s why Rover is so special to me—it gives me the chance to care for your pet with the same love and attention I would give my own. My primary occupation is making desserts to order, and I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to adjust my schedule to your pet’s routine—whether it’s feeding times, walks, or just keeping them company. With me, your pet will feel safe, loved, and truly cared for. I see them not just as animals, but as little souls who deserve kindness and joy every single day❤️ I work from home creating Vegan desserts. Because of that, I get to spend almost all day at home — either in the kitchen making something delicious or working at my computer — and that means your pet will never be alone. I absolutely love spending time with furry (or not so furry!) friends. I’m happy to walk, play, cuddle, or just be there to keep them company. I can also stay overnight if needed — it’s important to me that your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed, even when you’re away. Every animal is unique, and I always try to connect with each one individually. With me, your pet will get lots of love, attention, and a calm, cozy atmosphere💫 Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always make sure the environment is calm, secure, and free of anything that could be dangerous or stressful. I follow your instructions carefully — from feeding routines to leash preferences — and I take the time to get to know your pet’s needs and personality. Whether it’s a shy kitty or an energetic pup, I do my best to create a peaceful space where they can feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: I know the importance of caring deeply for our own pets. I’d only want the same for your own pet care needs. I have a senior Chihuahua that is now 13, almost 14 in January and a 2 in a half year old French Bull Dog. It’s been 4 in a half years now that our Blue Nose Pitbull passed. I have experience with different size dogs with all different characteristics, that have been my own dogs and other pets I have cared for have been different sizes and breads. I currently work full time hybrid. Saturday and Sundays I am open to any availability you may need. Monday through Friday I am available anytime after 3:30 PM. On my hybrid days I may be flexible for pet care needs. Please feel free to inquire if you have any questions. The love and care I have for my own pets is so important to me but even more their safely, trust, and environment even more. Our pets are more than likely more comfortable in their own home so if you prefer any pet care in your open I am definitely open to that so that you too feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe.

“Super reliable especially for a last minute walk! He seemed so happy afterwards. Very happy with her service!”

About: If you're looking for a responsible adult who you can entirely trust with your pet while you're away, it's me! If it's housesitting you're looking for, I'll leave your place exactly how I've found it ☺️ I have a mini goldendoodle who I love (obviously). I care about every single pet like they are my own. True story. I'll treat your furry child like my own ❤️ Ps: I take amazing pictures of your pet ☺️ My schedule is flexible. I walk my own dog several times a day without rushing where we leave no tree unsniffed. I'd be happy to help during the week or weekend. I have easy access to a park that's walking distance and several potty spots that are only a few seconds away. Your dog will never have to hold it for long when they are with me.

“Jonathan helped us with dog walks for over a week. Our dogs are picky and take a while to warm up (they are Shiba Inus), but they really seemed to like Jonathan immediately. He was extra communicative and sent great videos, photos and updates. Absolutely would hire Jonathan again.”
