Dog Walking Costa Mesa

About: I recently graduated from college (UCI 🐜) and I have so much time to spare this summer! I am very patient, active, and responsible and I love working with cats and dogs. With any of my available services, I will always make sure to put you and your pets first. I just graduated from college and would love to take care of cats and dogs in the city in the last few months of my lease in California. This gives me a very open and flexible schedule for you and your pets! At my college apartment, I don't have any pets. But at home in New Hampshire, I have two cats, one tortoiseshell and a tuxedo boy who are both indoors. I also grew up with a greater swiss mountain dog and took care of her in her senior years. My experiences aside, I understand that every cat family is different and have different values which, as a sitter, I would deeply respect.

About: Hi! I'm Ashley, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've been walking and dog-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 12, but recently moved to Orange County and would love to meet some new furry friends in the area! ☀️ I grew up surrounded by dogs ranging from a tiny Yorkie to a Chocolate Lab, so I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I've also been a volunteer with Priceless Pets since 2016, helping care for their dogs and bringing them to community events to help them find their forever homes. As a project manager by day, I'm naturally reliable, organized, and communicative. I know pets are family, and I treat every dog I care for like they're my own! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐶🤎 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week, and I'm fully available on weekends. Whether your dog needs a quick lunchtime walk, some company during the day, or a longer morning adventure, I'd be happy to help. I'm usually out getting my steps in anyway, so bringing a pup along is a win-win! I'll always take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable and gets to know me at their own pace. Whether they're energetic and ready to play or a little shy at first, I'll adapt to their needs to help them feel safe and secure. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages throughout our time together. You'll never have to wonder how your pup is doing - my goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable, confident, and cared for from our first meeting!

About: I’ve had a dog the past 8 years and have dog sat for friends and neighbours countless times! I love walking them and giving them all the love they can handle! I’m currently working part time as a nanny and am beginning my masters in nursing this fall. My schedule is fairly flexible and I’m looking forward to giving your dogs all the love and attention! I have a no issues crating a dog or training them. I crate trained my dog and taught her basic commands such as sit and stay.

“Sarah is super accommodating and extremely kind! She treated our puppy as her own and spoiled her with lots of snuggles. We even felt comfortable enough to extend our vacation because we knew our puppy was in the very best hands while we were away!”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own at home - small, medium and large. An aloof golden retriever, a rescue from the streets of Mexico, and a dog in heart failure - requiring medication 3 times a day. I am experienced with all types of dogs, including reactive dogs, and regularly attend dog training and pack walks with our dog trainer on the weekend. I currently work remote, so I am able to work from your home, as needed, to look after your pets closely and carefully. I can make sure they get proper bathroom breaks, walks, and structure that is needed! I am comfortable working within the boundaries you have established for your pets. Whether you like to keep your pets crated at night or not, I can accommodate what you'd like!

“Annabel is such a treasure! She not only has been walking Nyx for some time now, she was excellent with a visiting pup, Toby who can be a bit shy. I highly recommend Annabel!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, and I currently own and have raised my Border Collie, Luna, since she was 6 weeks old. She’s now 5 years old, fully off-leash trained, highly socialized, and responsive—something that takes a high level of consistency, awareness, and understanding of dog behavior. Because Border Collies are one of the most intelligent and demanding breeds, that experience has shaped how I work with all dogs. I focus on structure, exercise, and calm, confident handling so dogs feel secure and balanced. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments—from high-performance working breeds to older dogs that need a slower pace. I’m also comfortable reinforcing training, managing behavior, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs. My goal is to provide more than just supervision—I offer intentional, high-quality care so your dog stays happy, exercised, and mentally engaged My schedule is very flexible because I work as an artist, author, and entrepreneur, which allows me to structure my days around the dogs I’m caring for. This means your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, walks, and engagement throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-ins, including weekends. I create a calm, structured, and attentive environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I’m highly aware of behavior, energy levels, and surroundings—especially on walks or in new environments. With my background raising and training a high-energy, intelligent breed, I’m confident managing different personalities and ensuring each dog gets the right balance of activity, boundaries, and rest. I follow your dog’s routine closely and provide regular updates so you always feel connected and confident while you’re away.

“Chloe is everything you hope for in a dog walker. She’s caring, punctual, and truly makes the most of every minute based on your dog’s energy level. Our six-month-old Siberian husky has endless energy, and Chloe matches it with real engagement — not a distracted stroll. I’ve seen other walkers glued to their phones; Chloe is the opposite: fully present, attentive, and genuinely invested. Your pup is in good hands.”

I love getting them out for walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box care, and making sure your cat feels comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. Whether your cat is social or more independent, I’ll meet them where they’re at. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love.

About: I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats, and currently help care for my 6-year-old French Bulldog and 8-year-old Golden Retriever, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, senior dog needs, and attentive care. Since childhood, I’ve also walked and pet-sat neighbors’ dogs and cats. Since 2021, I’ve been a dog walker at Priceless Pet Rescue, where I’ve gained experience handling dogs of all temperaments, including more challenging ones. I even used to walk horses and donkeys at Back Bay Therapeutic Riding Center, so I feel confident handling all kinds of pets! I'm currently home for the summer after graduating from college, so I will have plenty of time for walks, play-dates, and pet/house sitting! I will be out of town 7/4-7/9 and 7/25-8/1, but will be very flexible outside of these dates! I provide attentive, responsible care and ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their homes. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and medication if needed, while also respecting and keeping the home clean, secure, and well-maintained.

About: I currently work for a pet grooming salon as a bather, working my way to be a groomer. with endless patience I'll walk any dog-no matter the size. Sundays/Mondays- Availability is open anytime Tuesdays/Saturdays- Any time after 3:30pm I know it’s hard to walk your fur babies after work sometimes let me take care of that for you. At the moment I will not be doing any pet sitting services at my place. Unless needed I can go ahead and dog sit at your place, but at the moment I rather just stick to dog walking :)

“Jared was GREAT! Kept me updated the whole time. Sent pics. Offered to take him running. Even let me know my dog might have an oncoming upset stomach (which he did) So my BF was prepared and laid out pads over the carpet. Saved me the headache of having to hire a cleaner or order a rug doctor. Will definitely keep Jared on the list of trusted walkers.”

“Lily was great! Showed up right on time, followed all directions and my dogs who love their mom actually relaxed and enjoyed their walk Lily! That is huge, she is a natural!”

About: Hi there! I'm Kaimon. An easygoing, calm, and patience dog lover that looks forward to getting your pups outside for some exercise, fresh air, or just a solid sniff session. I'm quite accustomed to dogs that want to stop and investigate every smell along the way - with two hounds (noses with legs) of my own, a beagle and a coonhound. I'm also no stranger to the power walkers out there, and really just used to pups of all demeanors, shapes, and sizes. Spending some of my free time volunteering with local animal rescues and growing up with dogs my entire life, being around them has naturally become a pretty core part of my life. I’m pretty adaptable to different personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog is playful and social, more cautious and shy, or somewhere in between, I try to make walks feel relaxed, safe, and enjoyable for them. Mostly, I just want owners to feel comfortable knowing their dog is being looked after with patience, attention, and care. Pet care fits best into my weekends and the occasional evening. I work a demanding weekday job, but still make time for reliable, attentive walks. Happy to work with whatever leash, harness, or lead setup your dog is used to. I keep walks safe and comfortable while matching each dog’s pace and personality.

“John has been very communicative and thorough as our regular dog walker this summer. He is prompt and timely. Our doggo is a special boy with certain needs for medical conditions. John has gone the extra mile with making sure he is safe and comfortable after walks!”

“So sweet and great with dogs!”
