“Michele is our go to dog walker! She takes great care of Lucy and helps us feed her dinner and leave lights on after dark. Michele also takes a lot of photos of Lucy so we know she's doing well.”
“Dawn is awesome! After the third day Smokey didn't even look back at me. He saw Dawn and was was tugging at the leash to go. She even worked with me to split his walking time up when he couldn't make it back home one day. He's an old pup. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone.”
“Emely was great with walking my dog. She made sure to let me know when she started the walk and sent me pictures along his walk! Would highly recommend her and would definitely book her again!”
“Bradey was very responsive to my questions, easy to communicate with. Sent great pics and updates of our pets, 3 yo Lab/Pitt mix & middle aged cat. Took our dog on 30 minute walks AM/PM and tracked each time. Bradey offered to meet us before we left town to make sure she was a good fit. We will be using her services again on our next trip out of town.”

About: Hello! I’m Oliver, a long-time local resident living right here in Lake Forest. As a mature and responsible pet owner, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising three wonderful dogs over the years—two of which were energetic black Labradors. I understand that pets are cherished members of your family, and leaving them can sometimes be stressful. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether it's stopping by for feeding, fresh water, playtime, or a comforting walk, I will treat your furry friends with the exact same patience and dedication I gave my own. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely happy to help families in our community. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets! I have a completely flexible schedule with no fixed working hours, which gives me plenty of freedom to visit and care for your pets. Whether it's daytime, afternoons, or evenings, I am reliably available to drop by, feed, play, and make sure your furry friends are happy and well-cared for. Since I provide drop-in visits at your home, I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort in their own familiar environment. I am very careful with home security, making sure doors and gates are properly locked. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect, and I will keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit so you always have peace of mind.
About: Hi! I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 I've spent over six years working professionally with animals in both veterinary hospitals and pet care facilities, so caring for pets isn't just something I enjoy, it's what I've built my career around. I previously worked at VCA Animal Hospital and Wagly Pet Campus, where I gained experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace, I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique needs. My background has given me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, pet safety, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. I understand how important routine, patience, and positive interactions are, and I always treat every pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. In 2023, I lost my beloved cat to heart disease. He was my best friend, and losing him reminded me just how special the bond between people and their pets truly is. While nothing could ever replace him, caring for other animals has been incredibly healing for me. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and being able to give them affection, exercise, and companionship is one of the most rewarding parts of my day. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll always treat your dog like family, keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, and make sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's personality and energy level. Whether your pup loves long adventures, leisurely neighborhood strolls, or just wants a caring companion while you're away, I'd be honored to help. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a work-from-home mom and I schedule walks during the quiet parts of my day. I enjoy walking and being outside, and it’s so much better with a furry friend. I don’t plan to board any animals at this time in my home. This may change in the future, but not as of right now.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I currently have two senior pugs, ages 16 and 13, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency that older dogs often require. Through my volunteer work with Pug Rescue of Korea, I have fostered more than 10 dogs, including senior dogs, arthritic dogs, and a semi-blind dog. I've also fostered five puppies and understand the extra supervision, structure, and positive reinforcement that young dogs need. One thing adopters and rescue coordinators consistently appreciate about me is my communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and notes so pet parents always know how their dog is doing. An adopter once described me as "extraordinarily communicative" and said the updates helped make her dog's transition into its new home seamless. I treat every dog as an individual and adjust my care to their personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra attention and companionship, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a flexible weekday schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care. As a small business owner, I manage my own hours and have the availability to provide reliable walks and check-ins throughout the week. Dogs are already a big part of my daily life. I care for my two senior pugs and continue to volunteer and foster through rescue organizations for several years. I enjoy spending time with dogs, getting outside, and helping them stay active and happy. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits Monday through Friday and look forward to getting to know your pet. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. As a dog owner, foster volunteer, and rescue volunteer, I understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and routines. During walks and drop-in visits, I carefully follow each owner's instructions and pay close attention to leash safety, hydration, and each dog's comfort level. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, arthritic dogs, and a semi-blind dog, so I'm comfortable adapting to different needs and walking paces. I also respect my clients' homes and strive to be dependable, professional, and attentive. I'll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Hi! I’m Jing — CPA and also a caring and reliable pet sitter with hands-on experience raising both a dog and a cat. I’ve had my dachshund for over three years, and I also cared for my cat for two years, so I’m very familiar with the different needs, personalities, and routines of both species. With dogs, I’m patient and attentive, especially with small breeds like dachshunds that need extra back support and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with walks, enrichment, feeding routines, and keeping a close eye on behavior. With cats, I understand how to read their body language, keep their environment calm, and follow their preferred pace — whether they want cuddles or space. I’m experienced with litter box care, feeding schedules, and helping shy cats feel safe. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my priority.

About: I’m an energetic, fun loving kind of girl. Love to be outdoors, walking/jogging with your dog is my jam! Responsible and reliable.

Current living situations prevents me from owning a fur pup of my own, so getting to spend time with yours would warm my heart and they would be an extension of my family! I am available on weekends and week day evenings. I do work Monday through Friday at a 9-5. Weekends I am free morning , noon, or evening for walks/feeding/cuddles, or even house/dog sitting as well. I am flexible with schedules and reliable. Your fur baby is in good hands with me, and would get all the cuddles! I do work remote M - F. I do have a two year old that is good with animals. She may have to tag along at times when not in school. I have two black kitties, they roam free in the house and both indoor. I gotta keep them safe!

About: My spouse Cathy and I have 2 cats, who will be celebrating their 15th birthday with us this summer! I have plenty of dog experience too- I grew up with at least one dog in the house at all times, and with 17 years as a nanny I also cared for their cats and dogs as well. I have a flexible schedule as a local small business owner, and both Cathy and I love any extra pet time we can get! I am local small business owner, and have a flexible schedule. I am up early most days (4am) so early feedings would t be a problem! I always greet the pets first, and proceed according to order of priority instructions from pet owners.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - El Toro
I can’t recommend Teddy’s dog walker, Mengmeng enough! I reached out to her the day before I needed someone, and she responded quickly and was incredibly accommodating. From the moment we met, her professionalism and kind demeanor immediately put me at ease. She took the time to ask thoughtful questions and paid close attention to Teddy’s routine, personality, and little details that made me feel confident he was in great hands. It’s obvious that she truly cares about the dogs she works with and treats them like they’re her own. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog walker in Irvine, I highly recommend reaching out to her. Teddy and I had such a wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely be using her again!
Angela knows how to put a dog at ease. This was her first time walking Brownie, who’s anxious and distrustful, she approached him gently and offer treats, a pro move that calmed Brownie. She knows how to handle a dog on a leash. My dog can react to strangers, including humans, and she handled him very well when we encountered other dogs on the walk. I highly recommend Angela for dog walking.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your El Toro. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in El Toro.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in El Toro. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
