Dog Walking El Toro Marine Air Station

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!

“Miss Kk has been the absolute best dog walker for my 15lb dachshund mix for the past few months, 3x a week. We are in the area for work and staying at a hotel and she adjusted so well to the hotel life and the hotel staff absolutely love her and so does my pup. She is so reliable and has never cancelled on me ever. She is so sweet and I highly recommend using her for any and all services.”

About: For five years, I’ve provided dedicated care for friends’ dogs and cats, handling feeding, exercise, and playtime to ensure every pet feels safe and loved. Since I work part-time and is a student, my schedule is highly flexible. I can make sure your pet doesn’t lose their routine you’ve established. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their existing routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Photo & text updates, light house work(bringing in mail/ watering plants), routine maintenance(feeding/walking/sleeping schedule will be maintained)

“Reinaldo has been a great help walking my dog. He’s always on time and keep accurate and timely communication if there is a conflict in the schedule. He also take great photos for my dog during walk too. I am so grateful I found Reinaldo as my dog walker.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, starting with my own family dog and continuing by helping care for my sister’s and boyfriend’s pets over the years. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, providing companionship, cleaning up after pets, and following each pet’s individual routine. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and needs, so I prioritize patience, safety, and positive interactions. I am currently working in the mental health field Friday-Monday so I have flexibility during the week for those who have to work and want to ensure their fur babies are being taken care of I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine by providing meals, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them), and any special care instructions.

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.

“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 have been caring for my own pets and entrusted with the care of pets of friends and family since I was young. Everything from medical needs (injections and pills) to love and affection. My schedule is mostly wide open with a few personal obligations. I am happy to wake up early or stay up late to care for and play with your fur-baby. Just let me know what they need and what you need and we’re set. I am skilled in medical care for animals including injections and pills. I will gladly send photo and video updates regularly and any other information you would like. I will happily follow any and all instructions to help make sure you and your pets are happy.

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!

“I needed a dog walker for a few days while I was out of town and once I met Gabby I knew she'd be a great fit for my dog Rafa. She is on time, has prompt communication, and takes the time to ask all the right questions so she's informed about your dog. Highly recommend her and I will definitely be booking her again.”

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.

About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for dogs and am currently training as a pet groomer, so I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, hygiene, and well-being. I focus on small to medium dogs (under 40 lbs) to keep a peaceful and low-stress environment. I’m home most of the time, so your dog will receive lots of care, supervision, and love — just like family. I’m happy to do a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit! I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent, one-on-one care and supervision. My schedule is calm and flexible, so your dog will have plenty of attention, structure, and rest in a peaceful home environment. Your dog will stay in a clean, safe, and fully supervised home with a securely fenced backyard. I only accept one client dog at a time, so your dog will never be in a crowded or stressful environment. I do have my own friendly dog, and I carefully ensure compatibility to keep everything calm and comfortable. My home is a spacious 3,500 sq ft single-family house in a quiet, upscale Irvine neighborhood, providing a peaceful and low-stress setting for your dog.

“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 am so excited to rejoin Rover after a brief hiatus to focus on my education! I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! After growing up with my family dog of 17 years, I’ve always been drawn to caring for animals. Through my childhood, I owned dogs, horses, and rabbits and I adopted a Puggle named Rocco in March of 2023. I’ve had experience caring for pets owned by family and friends for the past 8years. I am comfortable feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and administering medication to dogs of all ages and breeds. I am also happy to help reinforce desired behaviors for dogs in training and have experience caring for reactive pups. I WFH full time so my schedule is fairly open! I see a caseload of clients as a therapist so my schedule looks different every week. If you would like to lock in a weekly time slot for walks, I can do my best to accommodate for that. I ensure that my schedule will always be updated! I promise to treat both your fur baby and your home with the upmost respect. I have a quick response time and I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I will make sure to closely follow your dog’s schedule and provide them with the proper care they need. You will receive regular updates and photos of pet while they are in my care. Overall, I want to create a safe and loving environment for your pet and build a bond with them so you can feel relaxed while you’re away!
