Dog Walking Dana Point

About: Apart from always caring for my own dogs, I have loved walking my old neighbors pups as well. I am average build but strong for my size so I can handle the tugs from the bigger dogs like husky’s. I have an almost 3 month old who I stay home with so I am available for around the clock care for pups, children, or any elders who need assistance. Me and my baby would love to have your fur baby join our walks and play time! When boarding at my home, all we ask is to please bring your pup washed, thank you! p.s. tips are never expected but alwaysss appreciated;) I am a stay at home mom to a very chill and quiet baby. Our days consist of his nap times, sitting on our enclosed balcony, and going on long walks. We live in a condo with a balcony that has no escape route, and a medium size patio/backyard. It does not have grass but we have a 47x32in. artificial grass mat for potty breaks. The condo has stairs as well.

About: I’ve been a dog owner since 2013 where I was responsible for feeding, walking, grooming and giving my dog daily exercise activities. I also previously watched dogs for families and friends before apps like Rover came out. I’ve always been naturally friendly with dogs and they take a liking to me. Right now I’m available weekdays. I do work part-time as a sports coach in the afternoons. I do my best to be very present to support my wife and first born seven month old girl. I’m able to walk our fur pals whether their are crated or not with care. Our two dogs (a pure miniature Corgi and white Canaan) used to be crated for when my wife and I went to work. Eventually I worked from home so they didn’t have to be crated during the day. My wife and I moved back home with her parents so our dogs live with my mother on their property.

About: Hi! My name is Kaitlin- I’m a 30- something moving to Dana Point to be with my fiance. I’m a clinical pharmacist studying for my law exam to become licensed here. In the mean-time I’d like something to keep me busy, put a smile on my face and keep my golden doodle socialized (when or if desired). This is something we did back in Texas in our free time through a different platform. My time in the hospital has made me sensitive to medically complex animals that need more TLC. I’m also an avid distance runner so we can get some miles in for more active breeds. I will follow up to make an activity plan of what exactly we will do with our time together. I’m open to a pre-visit meet and greet. It is hard to leave our precious cargo with just anyone. MSG us- we’re available! Hi!

We will likely try to start with activities they are accustomed to to build trust then can quickly moving to exploring new sites and smells!

“My wife and I needed a dog walker last minute. We also needed someone to come by early. Amy was very professional. She continuously gave me updates on the walk. This was my first time using a hired dog walker and Amy made me and my wife feel very comfortable. We very much appreciate Amy and the effort she took to walk our dog.”

About: My family always had big dogs growing up, and I’ve had my big puppy for 9 years. We’ve been through a lot with our buddy - training, injuries, medications, you name it! So I’m comfortable providing the care that is needed for your furry friend. I currently work full time remote, taking care of my own dog. We used to take him on long walks, but he’s no longer able to manage as much, which is why I have some extra time (don’t worry - he still gets lots of love!!). I am happy to visit your home to take care of your dog. I will be respectful of any rules you have in place for your dog’s comfort and safety.

“Dorothy was amazing with our boys and very communicative. We appreciated her timeliness and ability to work with our blind dog. She sent photos and updates and followed our instructions. We would definitely use Dorothy again for our boys.”

“Andrea was super helpful and responsive. I made a mistake with my address in Rover and she reached out quickly and was very kind about the whole situation. Highly recommend & will hopefully book with her again in the future :)”

“Isabelle is fantastic! She’s always punctual, polite and our dog, Lady Belle, absolutely adores her. Isabelle goes above and beyond for our pup. I highly recommend her services!”

About: Hi! I’m Bree. I’ve always had animals in my life, and I genuinely love being around them. I currently have two cats of my own, and I’ve lived with several roommates’ dogs over the years, which means I’ve spent a lot of time caring for different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve learned how to read their moods, understand their needs, and make them feel comfortable and safe. I also have a close friend who is a professional pet trainer, and I often ask them for advice whenever I want to make sure I’m doing what’s best for the pets I care for. Because of that, I get the benefit of expert insight along with real-world, hands-on experience. My approach is simple: I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own. I’ll talk to them, I’ll be patient with them, I’ll respect their boundaries, and I’ll make sure they feel loved and listened to. Whether it’s a gentle walk, a playful outing, or some quiet company at home, I’ll show up for them every single time. I work part time and go to school part time so I have mornings & afternoons free Monday-Thursday and after that I do attend school from 5pm-10pm those days. I work 4-10pm on Fridays -Sundays and I am available before and after those hours. I can follow any instructions needed to optimize care for your fur family. I will make sure all doors and cabinets to places they shouldn’t be in are secured and they are always safe.

“Kelsey is a one of a kind dog-sitter. From the start, her communication was consistent and friendly. My dog, Birdy, took an immediate liking to her and I felt totally relaxed as Kelsey’s care for her was as if Birdy was her own. Throughout their time together, Kelsey updated me with videos and pictures and took extra care in assuring my home was safely locked up and secure before she left. Kelsey went above and beyond and I will be thrilled to use her expertise again soon. Thank you!!!”

“Jordann was great! I have a big, high-energy dog (Belgian Mal) and I always worry about who I leave him with. It is very difficult to find someone who is both confident in caring for such a big dog and has the energy to keep up with him. Jordann booked last minute and came in through with big positive energy! My dog, who can be sometimes standoffish, instantly fell in love with her. She also went above and beyond taking him on LONG walks. Jordann was punctual, communicative, and trustworthy. I felt comfortable trusting her in my home and with my fur baby. I will be rebooking Jordann in the future!”

About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love working with animals. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, extra scratches, feeding, or companionship, I make sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve. I’m mostly available on Fridays, and the weekends. The weekends, I have the most availability so you can do day trips and not have to worry. I can also do some weeknights. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and easy any stress. It usually helps to have some guidelines to feeding schedules or walk schedules that the owner requests. I will give pets plenty of attention during play time and make sure they are happy, either purring or wagging tails in a good way. I also treat the home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions the owner provides.

“Aubrey was terrific, very kind and attentive. She went above and beyond with any clean up needed as well. I would highly recommend Aubrey and look forward to having her again.”

About: Ever since I can remember I’ve always had at least one furry friend in my house (dogs and cats). I’ve also dog sat for friends and family over the course of my life. This includes senior dogs and cats that need a little bit of extra supervision (including administering medication) and care. I am currently working part-time 25hrs per week 5-hour shifts and am typically off at around 10pm. Therefore, I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends before and after when I do work. More than happy to spend the night taking care of your pet(s) as well. Message me for more accurate details pertaining to my schedule as it can vary from week to week. I have a fenced yard, and can crate your dog(s) if needed. I would provide your pets with all the love they can ask for as well as physical stimulation through walks and playtime with pet toys. If applicable, I am also happy to take your pet to a dog friendly park or beach if that is something that would interest you (and your furry friend[s].)

“Great meeting James, he is very accommodating and clearly knows his way around a dog! My dog and I both highly recommend him.”

About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I’m currently in nursing school. I’ve had dogs my whole life, ranging in all sizes (15 lbs-80 lbs). While I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve also been dog sitting for as long as I can remember for neighbors, family friends, etc. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats and will always treat your animals like they were my own. I adore my own dogs and they are my whole life. I understand leaving your animals in the care of someone else can be scary and can cause anxiety for both humans and pets so I am always upfront and communicate to keep you updated. I would love to be able to take one stressor off your plate by taking good care of your animals! I’m currently in school for nursing and I do have some full days, but I am always flexible to work around my schedule. I know it in advance as well and can be upfront to see if it would be a good fit. I’m comfortable just stopping in, staying at your place, truly whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Im very used to having a lot on my plate and having a schedule so I can always make one work. I am not able to board animals but I can stay at your house, do multiple drop ins throughout the day, etc. I’m flexible! I will always update you when I get there and when I’m leaving so you know the care your animal is getting!

About: I have grown up with small dogs, big dogs, and a cat for all of my life. I am trusted by people to care for their children as a babysitter, and I will apply this same standard of care to your pets! I am a corporate lawyer with two dogs at home! My husband works from home half of the week, and on the weeknights and weekends we’re always outside and playing with our pups! I am reliable so I will make sure your animal is taken care of all the time. I am also responsible and take initiative, which will ensure your pet is safe. I have a small mini goldendoodle who LOVES other dogs and gets along with everyone.
