Dog Walking Fairhaven

“Yolanda was so good to Archie and Millie! She was communicative and sent pictures. She went above and beyond. They seemed very calm and happy in her presence. We've already booked for more walks. 🐶”

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and pets of all kinds. I rescued my dog, Clayton, 14 years ago, and he recently passed away in February 2026 at the incredible age of 15. Through that journey, I gained firsthand experience caring for a pet through every stage of life, from the energetic younger years to the extra patience and attention senior pets need. I understand the patience, consistency, and love animals deserve, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, your pet will be in caring and reliable hands. Living in an apartment has given me a strong understanding of the importance of regular potty breaks, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine for dogs. Before leaving the house, I always make sure dogs get at least two potty breaks, followed by no fewer than three additional outings once I return home. Pets in my care are treated like family and are welcome to relax comfortably throughout my apartment, including on the couch and bed. I also enjoy taking long walks around my neighborhood and would love to bring your furry friend along for fresh air, exercise, and extra attention throughout the day. During the week, I split my time between two office locations — one in Anaheim near Honda Center and the other in Corona del Mar near Fashion Island. My typical schedule has me away from home from about 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while Fridays are fully remote and offer much more flexibility. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or requires additional attention, please let me know. I’m happy to coordinate flexibility within my work schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve.

About: I currently have a Great Pyrenees and a tiny little Papillion/Chihuahua mix, both rescues, whom I love more than life itself. So when I say big or small, I mean it! I have a flexible schedule so last minute requests can usually be accommodated I currently work part time and the hours are fairly flexible. This means I’m usually available at the last minute if something pops up or there’s an emergency I’m pretty detailed so I appreciate when owners leave a list or have specific requests. However, if you prefer a more laid back approach, that’s fine too. Whatever keeps your dog happy & safe!

About: I grew up in a house that always had animals. Dogs, cats, and a stream of injured wildlife my dad brought home to nurse back to health, including a baby deer and a raccoon. We even had gerbils, hamsters, parakeets, and fish. Caring for animals has been part of daily life from the time I was born. I’ve lived with large breeds such as Great Pyrenees, Bernese Mountain Dogs; as well as energetic breeds like Australian Shepherds, Chows, and mixed breeds, so I’m very comfortable with big dogs and strong personalities. Family members with smaller dogs regularly relied on me for care, and for the past ten years I’ve house- and dog-sat for an elderly family friend. I’m attentive, patient, and observant, especially with animals that are nervous, aging, or need a calm presence. As a large, steady person, I’m confident handling big dogs on walks and in new situations, and I’m just as comfortable providing gentle, consistent care for smaller pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I structure my days from home. I’m used to planning around feeding schedules, walks, litter care, and regular check-ins throughout the day. This allows me to be consistent, present, and flexible with visits, walks, or overnight stays, and to give pets real attention rather than rushing through care. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay in the space they know. I follow their established routine closely with feeding, walks, litter care, medications if needed, and regular attention. I keep the home tidy, watch for behavior changes, and keep owners updated. With my own cats, I manage specialized diets, daily litter and cleaning, social time, and close observation of their health and behavior. I’ve cared for some of them from birth and have also supported pets through illness and end-of-life stages. That experience carries into how I care for every animal: patient, attentive, and respectful of their comfort and needs.

About: Hi there, I’m Carissa! My deep love for animals began at a young age, as I grew up sharing a crib with a lively orange tabby who was always watching over me. Right now, I have a sweet tabby boy named Torito. My beloved childhood dog, Pepper, passed away two years ago after a long battle with heart disease and I'm still learning to adjust to her absence day by day. I’m eager for more furry companionship and have lots of love to give!  ° 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ₒ 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ° Over the years, I've cared for stray and feral cats in my backyard, as well as cats and dogs of all ages, some of whom have had various health conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, thyroid disease, anxiety, deafness, blindness, and mobility issues. I've rescued and rehomed stray dogs to loving forever homes on multiple occasions. As a teenager, I volunteered as a weekly cat tender at PetSmart and Petco for two years, which gave me a ton of great experience working with cats of all ages and personalities! I understand trusting someone with your cherished companion can be difficult, which is why I'll provide you with regular updates, including plenty of pictures and videos, so you can feel connected to them while they're in my care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my number one priorities, and I can guarantee that they’ll be in the best care with me ૮ • ﻌ - ა⁩ ⟢ Please note: I only service dogs under 50 lbs, non-reactive/non-aggressive animals, and fixed animals! ⟢ Hablo español. I’m currently doing Rover part-time so I have a fairly open schedule…weekdays or weekends - I’m your girl! I work part-time but can accommodate your request before or after my shifts. I typically have full availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays. My inbox is open and attended to from 8am to 7pm. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask about my availability as it can vary! I would love to get to know you + your furry friend and make them feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! ₊˚⊹♡ ⟢ For drop-ins/house sitting: If you have specific covid precautions, please let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate. Meet-and-greets must be scheduled PRIOR to booking to ensure that we are a good fit for one another. As a safety concern, I am not comfortable with indoor cameras and request that you disclose of any prior to booking a house sitting. I also water plants and make sure packages/mail are brought inside safely. ⟢ For walks: I prioritize safety with leashed walks and only take dogs to fenced areas for off-leash play when asked. I work with one client’s animals at a time rather than doing large group walks so your pup will have my full attention!

About: I grew up with two dogs and have been a true animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’m reliable, trustworthy, responsible. I understand how important it is to communicate well and keep pet parents updated. I’ll treat your dog like my own and spoil them with plenty of cuddles, playtime, attention, and love while making sure they feel safe and happy! 🐶💕 I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Hi! I just moved to Orange County and am currently providing pet care full time. I have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of drop off/pick up times. I am home during the day and don’t have any other commitments, so i have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend 🐕 I am naturally super active, so I am happy to take your pup on walks and trips to the park during their stay! I live in a safe and very dog friendly apartment. There is a fenced in grassy doggy courtyard that is open 24hours! My building has an elevator as well as stairs. So I’m able to accommodate for dogs with any mobility issues as well.

“She was wonderful!! My Pup had a great time and she even handled a situation I had with my door super well! Definitely asking her for more walks!”

“Amelia had been great with Daisy and we’re so happy with her. She’s been super accommodating and responsive. We will continue to use her weekly”

About: While I don't have much traditional dog-sitting experience, growing up, I had 2 dogs, a Maltese and a Maltese Shih Tsu mix. My last dog, Oreo, was a Maltese-Shih Tsu mix, who passed away from old age when I was in college. I was always diligent about training him, and I often bathed him myself. He was fully potty trained by me with the help of google, and he knew plenty of cute tricks. He also had a tendency to run off every chance he got, but I was always able to find him easily and bring him home safely. I also had regular play dates with my cousins' dogs, and sometimes I would dog sit for them. I'm pictured with my cousin's elderly yorkie, Roy, who was rocking his sunglasses in his little bag because he was incontinent, couldn't walk any more, and needed 24/7 care. I didn't want to get another dog after Oreo because of my busy class schedule and my finances, and now I travel for work, so I don't feel comfortable having to leave them behind all the time. I'm hoping I can spend more time with some fur babies until I can get a more stationary job, and hopefully get another furry companion! In the morning, I can check in as late as 7am before work, depending on distance. After work, I have an irregular work schedule, so I can often check-in as early as 1 or 2 pm. If I have a late night scheduled, the latest I head out is 5:30pm. If you trust me to enter your home, I assure you I am responsible and respectful of other's property, and I try to leave things better than I found them, if I absolutely have to move or borrow something. Im great with following instructions, so I can accommodate any special requests and respect and unique boundaries. I am also respectful of your pets space, and I will always start with a cautious introduction. I understand dogs and cats body language, and Im confident that I can establish a positive relationship with your fur baby, to make sure your absence, and my strange presence has as little stress on them as possible! I also understand that it can be difficult to be away from your fur baby, so I am willing to keep you updated however much you need to feel comfortable, especially the first time we work together.

About: I'm ready for hot girl walks for the time and I hope your pup is too. I've grown up and raised dogs of my own, but being in California for school meant leaving him (Butter) behind temporarily. My heart is empty and open to welcome and love yours. I am a second year PA student so most of my schedule is made by me, which will allow me to be flexible and have ample time to feed, walk, and play with your best friend! I treat every pet like my own and aim to create a safe, cozy, and fun environment. I follow routines, keep things pet-safe, and make sure each pet gets the attention and playtime they need. You’ll also get updates along the way and as many additional ones you'd like!

About: I’ve had three cats almost my entire life, and have watched friends’ and neighbors’ cats so I am well versed in making sure they have the care they need! This past year, I got a handful of dog sitting gigs including two hyper golden retrievers and a senior terrier. I’m currently a full time college student home from break looking for something to do to help pay for school! I have full availability open! I am a big rule follower! Please let me know what care your animals need in your home and I’ll follow it to a T.

About: I have cared for dogs and animals all my life and I enjoy it! I live in a safe neighborhood where I can take your dog to the park, and enjoy long walks. I am reliable and will take care of your pet the same way I take care of my dog; with love and care. If your dog has any special needs, I will be more than willing to accommodate your dog's needs. Your dog will receive the best care with me, and knowing your pet is in good hands while you are away relieves a lot of stress (believe me I know!) I am extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times, so don't hesitate to message me to discuss! I work from home and can provide the best care and attentiveness to your fur baby. I take my dog on multiple walks a day (depending how hot the ground is), let him roam around in our fenced patio, and spoil him nonstop, so your fur baby will seamlessly integrate in our home and routine. I live in a safe neighborhood with tons of sidewalks and yards to roam. I also live near pet parks and can take your pet to the park to play. My home has plenty of space both inside and out; with a fenced patio and large front grassy yard.

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have a cat. I had 2 cats but one passed away at almost 20 years old so I do have some experience with senior pets. I love animals and will treat yours as my own! I would prefer dogs who are kid friendly. About this sitter: My name is Tessa and I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3. I love animals and have 2 cats myself! I would love to make your dog a part of our family for the day or longer! Regarding my cat: I am able to keep my cat separate from your dog, if you are concerned about that. I think it’s best to keep them separate to avoid any issues. I put my cat in my primary bedroom upstairs along with all their stuff and they are perfectly fine! But if your dog is cat friendly, I don’t mind letting them interact. Either way, I’m happy to accommodate! I drop my 3 kids off at school Monday-Friday and I am done with that around 8:30am. I pick up my youngest at 2:28 and my middle other 2 kids get out around 3:30. So my days are pretty open. I am also available most weekends. Just message me and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. We live in a 4 bedroom condo and I have a fenced in patio and plenty of walking space throughout my neighborhood. Your dogs will feel safe and right at home.

About: I’ve grown up rescuing kittens from the streets and healing them to health. I have two healthy cats at home that I take care of every day. They are fully vaccines and healthy. I have a passion for cats, so I am always doing research to get a better understanding of how they may think. I'm currently working full-time from home, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I get many breaks during my working hours. I love my two cats, I never discipline them by yelling. They are allowed on the furniture and have a tree house to play in and many toys all throughout the home. I work from home so I'm always around and I rarely go out. I like being home. I also get breaks to go out and do any drop ins. I live in a three bedroom apartment. There is one bedroom dedicated as my cat room, which has a cat house, scratch post, wooden home and many toys and tunnels for play. I have toys for them everywhere and constantly buying new toys. My cats love the their playroom. Right outside the window is a tree where some birds and squirrels pass, they love to lay on the hammock and look at the window.

About: I've always lived with a dog, and by always I mean since I was born. I currently have a 12 year old pitbull that I've had since he was 3 WEEKS OLD! He is now a senior citizen, which has been my favorite phase thus far. I’ve had plenty of other dogs, and I get to know each dogs personality. Just like humans, every dog is different. Age and breed have a lot to do with it as well. I know that younger dogs require more energy to burn with play and walks, and senior dogs want to be included and require us to be patient with them. 🥹 regardless dogs make me happy, and would love to be the one to help take care of your fur babies because they have needs and feelings too. I'm currently working remotely at my own schedule, so for the time being, Im pretty much available any day of the week. As a pet owner myself, I understand the need or even last minute need to look after our pets. I will respect the rules of the pet owner's home and their preferences when it comes to taking care of their pet. I may give cool aunt energy, but I will always make sure that what parents say goes.

“RE is great and took such wonderful care of our boys. Highly recommend him!”
