Dog Walking in Costa Mesa

“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’ve spent years caring for rescue dogs and cats, and I understand how important patience, calm energy, safety, and trust are for every pet. I currently care for multiple rescued pets of my own, including two rescue dogs and rescue cats, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I treat every animal like family and always focus on making pets feel safe, loved, exercised, and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, communicative, and committed to providing dependable care you can feel confident about. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy building routines around pet care. Daily walks, exercise, feeding, playtime, and making pets feel calm and comfortable are already a big part of my everyday life with my own rescue dogs and cats. I’m reliable, punctual, communicative, and committed to giving every pet consistent attention, care, and affection. Whether your pet needs an active walk, companionship, or a calm and patient sitter, I always make their safety and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and calm energy are extremely important to me when caring for pets. I always take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and secure. I have experience caring for rescue animals and understand the importance of patience, structure, supervision, and positive interactions. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, closely monitor pets during walks and visits, and treat every home and animal with respect, reliability, and care as if they were my own family.

“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 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, 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!

“Kiara did an excellent job keeping me updated throughout the whole walk with Ford! I received many pictures as well as very detailed notes on Ford’s status, behavior, & over all well being during the walk! She took very good care of my boy & will definitely be trusting her with him for future walks/dog care.”

About: Hi! I’m McKenna 😊 I’m a huge animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a high-energy pup, Ruthie, who has completed both basic and advanced training, and a cat named Binx—so I truly understand the different needs, personalities, and routines of both! For dogs, I’m very comfortable with high-energy and excitable pups and can help reinforce basic training like sit, stay, place, and leash manners. I love getting them out for walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. For cats, I know every cat is different—some want attention and playtime, while others prefer space and routine. 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. I’m also big on communication and will send regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease 🤍 Experienced with: • Dog walking, drop-ins, and sitting • Cat check-ins and care 🐱 • High-energy dogs + basic training reinforcement • Crate routines and structured environments • Feeding schedules and medication instructions Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

I will be patient as I know some animals take a bit to warm up. I will make sure to give them all the pets, get their energy out by playing or going on walks.

“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!”

“Mia was awesome! I went with them and asked to go to a public place b/c Bima isn’t great that way. Mia was calm cool and in control! I saw another side of my dog which had everything to do with Mia and her comfort around a reactive dog. Thank you. I highly recommend Mia”

Janet K.

“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.”

About: I absolutely adore dogs and truly understand that each one has its own unique personality, needs, and comfort level. Whatever your dog needs while you’re away, I’m here to provide it with care, attention, and consistency. I treat every dog as if they were my own,safe, loved, and fully included in my daily routine. Whether it’s hanging out, playing, or just relaxing together, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making them feel at home. Your dog’s comfort is my priority. Since I’m home full-time, I have a flexible schedule and can easily adapt to your dog’s routine and needs. I’m also very easy to reach and committed to clear communication. I provide affection, companionship, and a calm environment—not cages. My goal is to make your time away easier for both you and your dog. YOU LEAVE THEM,I LOVE THEM!!!! Pet care is naturally built into my daily life since I’m home full-time and have a flexible schedule. On a typical day, I structure my routine around the dogs in my care,this includes morning walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I also make time for enrichment activities like interactive play, calm bonding time, and simply keeping them comfortable and relaxed. Throughout the week, I maintain consistency so dogs feel secure and settled. Their routine becomes part of my routine,not an “add-on,” but a priority woven into my day. Because I’m home, I’m able to respond quickly to their needs, whether that’s extra potty breaks, attention, or just being present so they don’t feel alone. My focus is always to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that feels as close to home as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, routines, medications, and any special needs. Dogs are never left feeling isolated,since I’m home full time, they receive consistent attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Daily care includes scheduled potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding at their normal times, and plenty of affection and downtime. I make sure each pet has a space where they can relax and feel secure, while also encouraging healthy activity and engagement. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space completely and maintain the pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I ensure everything is kept clean, secure, and exactly as instructed, while also providing updates so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. My priority in either setting is simple: safety, consistency, and making sure every pet feels loved, understood, and well cared for.

About: I have three rescued pets at home: an 8-year-old (reactive) lab mix, a super friendly 8-year-old cat, and a shy 4-year-old cat. This gives me a pretty good idea of how to handle different pet personalities! My pup needs some extra care and attention, which has taught me how to manage reactive behaviors and create safe spaces by reinforcing routines. I also know how to help shy pets feel comfortable and secure. What makes me stand out is my ability to cater to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s using positive reinforcement for training or just providing a cozy, loving environment. I’m all about making sure your pets feel happy and relaxed while you’re away! I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets! I have plenty of availability throughout the day for drop-ins or walks; just let me know what you need. When it comes to caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, trust, and keeping a calm environment. I stick to their routines—like feeding and walking schedules—and use their favorite toys to help them feel comfortable. Safety is super important, so I’m dedicated to creating a secure space for your pets. I really believe in getting to know each pet and understanding their unique needs and behaviors, which helps me anticipate any situations that might come up. Building trust is essential, so I take the time to make sure they feel relaxed and at ease with me. Overall, my goal is to provide loving and attentive care that keeps your pets happy while you’re away!

About: Pet sitter in Newport. Quite new to Rover with little experience here now, but I’ve also looked after my own pets always. I’m reliable and calm. I rescued my cat after she was abandoned by ex neighbor and she’s a happy indoor cat now. Flexible schedule and I can come any time of the day. Available most days. Newport Beach, working mainly locally. Send me a message, thank you. For boarding I’m often home during the day too, but sometimes out. Let me know how anything specific you’d like me to do. I will take care of your pets and make sure they’re happy, safe and healthy.

About: Being around animals is a big part of who I am. I started getting real experience pretty young, working at an animal hospital when I was 14, which taught me a lot about how to properly care for pets and pay attention to their needs. Since then, I’ve helped deliver and care for over four litters of puppies (32 in total!) so I’m very comfortable with dogs at all stages. I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they often need a little extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I make sure every pet I watch feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I live in a clean, friendly neighborhood with a really active and welcoming community, so it’s a great environment for dogs. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I’m home throughout the week and my job is flexible, so I have plenty of time to be around pets during the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule easily when needed and give pets consistent attention and care. I’m a clean, respectful, and easygoing person, and I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable wherever they are. I pay attention to their routine, keep things calm, and treat every home with care and respect. I also have a fenced backyard where pets can safely spend time outside.
