Dog Walking El Toro Marine Air Station

About: I’ve been around and cared for all kinds of dogs throughout my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of time to explore and enjoy their surroundings without feeling rushed. I’m very patient and like to get a feel for each dog’s personality and energy level. If they’re excited, playful, and active, I’m happy to match their energy and keep them engaged. If they’re more relaxed or shy, I’m just as happy to give them the space, patience, and comfort they need. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while they’re with me! I’m currently a Physical Therapy student, and pet care will be my part-time job alongside school. I don’t work anywhere else, so I’m able to dedicate my free time to caring for your pets! As a pet lover, I thought this would be a great way to do something I enjoy while also helping support my education. In my PT program I only have one 2-hr class a day so I have plenty of free time around that. I’m happy to use my free time for dog walks, drop-ins, playtime, and making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care! 🐾 I’m happy to welcome pets into my home! There is a fenced yard for outdoor play time and spacious indoor space as well. I have one dog and one cat of my own, both are very friendly and used to being around other animals. My dog especially loves having a new friend to play with! I also understand that not every pet is as social or outgoing. If your dog is more shy, nervous, or simply prefers their own space, my home has plenty of room to keep pets in separate areas when needed so they can feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and at home during their stay.

About: I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses. I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements. I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!

About: I’ve been caring for my own Schnauzer for 5 years, since he was 3 months old. When he was a puppy, he had canine coronavirus, and I personally cared for him throughout his recovery, including taking him to the vet for treatment and making sure he received his medications on schedule. I’m also very active with my dog and take him on two walks every day, usually over an hour each time. I have experience with basic dog training as well, and my dog knows commands such as sit, paw, down, and wait. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets receive plenty of exercise, care, and attention. I’m currently a part-time student, so I have plenty of availability during weekday daytime hours. I’m also occasionally available on weekends and can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs and my class schedule. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’m attentive to pets’ routines, feeding schedules, and behavior, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and doing well.

“i could not be happier with greta's care for my pup. not only did i reach out to her last minute, to which she responded so graciously, she was so kind, warm, conscientious, and communicative. i received a steady stream of photos, videos, and updates while i was away, she left notes when necessary, and even made sure to check that i arrived home safely in time for my pet's next walk. i wasn't able to meet greta in advance (my fault, not hers!) but she took my instructions in stride and did such a wonderful job. i will 1000% request her services the next time i travel, and i highly recommend her skills to anyone who needs a caretaker for their pet.”

About: I will care for your dog like family, so you can travel with peace of mind. My high school–aged sons love helping with playtime and walks, making sure your dog has a happy and active stay. I’ve taken care of my own dogs since 2004 and after they passed, if’ve taken care of family and friends’ pets. I live pets in general and will take care of them very well! Friends and family have always only gone to me to watch their pets as well! I currently work at home so I will be able to take care of your pet very easily and at all times. I’m available to pet sit all days of the week! I have a small yard with a back door that will always be locked, plenty of space for dogs to play and a spacious living room for them to sleep, eat, and play!

“Cie has been so gracious and helpful with my schedule and changes due to medical issues. Thank you for your understanding and always being so loving with Lucy!!”

About: I used to raise a corgi and have 4 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I often help friends with walking, feeding, and checking in on their pets, so I’m very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. I always pay close attention to their safety, routines, and comfort. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for dog walks and drop in visits. I always plan my day so your pet can get consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine steady. I pay attention to safety, make sure doors stay securely closed, and give updates with photos during every visit so you can feel confident and informed.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I combine responsibility with genuine attentiveness to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. With puppies, I pay great attention to how they feel and I’m very patient at caring for them. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to mobility needs, medication schedules, slower walking pace, and comfort routines. I pay close attention to subtle behavior changes that may indicate discomfort. I’m also detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, allergies, and household rules. Clean water, safe environments, and secure walks are always my priority. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique temperament. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of interaction throughout the day instead of leaving dogs alone for long periods. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each dog’s needs — whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding at specific times, or sticking closely to an established routine. Being home also allows me to monitor behavior closely and respond quickly if anything seems off. Because pet care would be a dedicated part of my day, I’m able to give dogs my full attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for rather than just accommodated. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I remove potential hazards, keep doors and gates secured, and ensure all food and small objects are out of reach. Dogs have a comfortable resting area, constant access to fresh water, and structured playtime. I supervise interactions at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, house rules, and preferred routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure security. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will immediately communicate any concerns. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I understand that trust is everything when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and responsibility.

“Great experience! Kristina was very caring , gentle with my dog and always on time. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve loved being around animals since I was a kid, especially cats. I grew up with my grandmother’s cat and learned early on how to be patient and attentive to their needs. I’ve also been around dogs through family members, including breeds like Huskies, so I understand different energy levels and personalities. More recently, I cared for my neighbor’s Ragdoll cat for a full summer, making sure they were well fed, engaged, and comfortable every day. I treat every pet with the same care and attention as if they were my own. *I would love to share photos and messages to keep the owners updated if required Currently I’m working part-time, so I’ll be available most of the time at both day and night times over the weekdays and weekends. Pets’ safety is always my priority. I live in a gated apartment that has two dog parks. There are also plenty of dog waste bag stations and trash cans around the apartment. I’m a very active person and go to the gym four times a week for strength training. I also love hiking and walking, so I genuinely enjoy taking dogs out for walks.

“Kaylee was very friendly with my dog and followed instructions very easily. She’s very easy to communicate with! I can tell she knows how to care for different types of dogs based on the questions she asked, and she showed that we cared about my dog’s wellbeing.”

“KK was awesome! She walked our dog twice while we were away for the day. She refilled his water and even brought in a large package that was on our porch. She went above and beyond! We highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out to her anytime we are in need of an extra hand for our little pupper! Thanks KK!”

“Maggie is a great dog walker! She is very friendly, communicates well, and is incredibly patient with my shy and barking dogs. I really appreciate how caring and understanding she is with my dogs. I highly recommend her!”

About: We've had dogs almost all of our lives and because of our extraordinary care our last 3 dogs lived almost 18 years each. What a blessing they all were. The last one recently passed. We have experience with both puppies and senior dogs and are not afraid of dealing with their special issues. We understand, we all have special issues at times. We are looking forward to caring for your doggies, as well as you would care for them. My husband and I both work from home. We are free most of the day to care for your doggies. They will enjoy being with us and we will enjoy them. We live in a pet friendly suburban community with a doggie run, and lots of walking paths in our community, we also have a large park across the street. We always walk our dogs on a leash and are careful when being around other dogs or children during our walks, we stop and let others pass or we cross the street.

“Amazing! My fear reactive dog, Toby, loves Kianna so much and my Cassie is the same! They are sad for hours after she leaves and look for her each day. Just amazing how quickly they took to her! She is a new member of our pack!”

About: I’ve had pets for my entire life. My family believes in saving the strays from the streets, so it was my parents who taught me to show kindness to every animal I meet and take great care of those we adopted. In my case, it was several dogs and cats of various kinds, including older dogs and a tiny one week old kitten whom I nursed to health and adulthood. I’m currently studying and freelancing from home and actively searching for a part-time job. My days are usually free since I’m in control of my study and work routine, so I’d love to take care of your little friends at any time on any day of the week! I always prioritize the pets’ safety, comfort, and routine. I love directions and specifications, so I make sure to follow provided instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or adhering to a particular schedule for walks and playtime. I make sure to maintain a calm environment for the pet, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I also ensure the home remains clean and tidy, following all the owner’s guidelines to keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible! I believe consistency is the key.
