About: I LOVE dogs and have a large mixed-breed rescue of my own who is 12 years old! I’ve cared for her since she was 1, so I have years of hands-on senior care, including administering medication and cooking her meals. My family & friends have trusted me to care for their dogs for years too! I love playing and staying active with pups because I know how important exercise and mental stimulation are for their health and happiness. Long walks are a must! Your pup’s well-being, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as drop-ins and pet sitting. I can accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, potty, medication, and exercise routines, and I’m happy to discuss specific scheduling needs in advance! Your pup’s safety & comfort are my top priorities!

Your fur baby will be treated like family! 🫶🏼

About: Growing up on a farm in Oregon, I don't remember a time in my life that I wasn't surrounded by animals. From a young age we have had cows, chickens, horses, dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and fish. I moved to California to be with my fiancé and progress in the veterinary field. I did not realize I wanted to be a veterinarian until I started working in a veterinary hospital. Seeing the doctors first hand save animals inspired me, so I am now in school to get my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. We currently have the a dog, two cats, and a tortoise. My dog has a disability affecting his back legs, when we rescued him he dragged his paws, now he runs at the dog beach, walks up stairs, and jumps on our bed. I currently work at a veterinary hospital that works along with rescues and have 3 years of professional experience as a receptionist, vet technician, and kennel attendant.
About: What sets me apart is the hands-on experience and dedication I’ve developed as a first-time dog owner. I successfully crate-trained my Westie from the ground up and have walked her every single day for the past 5 years without fail. I’ve also taught her 10 different tricks through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable following a dog’s individual routine and needs, including preparing and cooking specific meals based on my dog’s diet. I understand that every dog has their own personality, schedule, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I may be a first-time owner, but I’ve spent 5 years learning, training, and building a strong bond with my dog—and I’d bring that same patience, reliability, and attention to detail to caring for your dog. I work full-time as a bartender, but my shifts vary, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during both the day and evening depending on my work schedule. I’m used to making sure my dog’s needs come first and adjusting her routine around my work schedule. For example, if I work a morning shift, I make sure she gets let outside, has a quick walk, and gets her first meal before I leave. When I get home, I give her a longer walk, plenty of attention. If I work a night shift, I’ll spend more time with her beforehand by taking her on a longer walk, playing with her, and giving her a small meal before I leave. I can work my schedule around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the exercise, companionship, and care they need. I’m comfortable with flexible or recurring schedules and will do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine consistent while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, active, and on their normal routine. I have a fenced-in backyard, crate, playpens, multiple leashes, treats, a whistle, paw cleaners, and dog wipes, so I’m prepared for walks, playtime, cleanup, and everyday care. I also have a very friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. If your pet is comfortable around other dogs, they can have a fun playmate and some extra companionship. I always make sure introductions are done safely and at the pet’s own pace. I’m happy to follow each pet’s specific routine, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any house rules their owner provides. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family while giving their owners peace of mind.
“Christopher does an amazing job walking/running my very active and energetic puppy Silvio! Silvio is always tired and happy after his walks. I appreciate how professional Christopher is, he is always on time and is a true dog person.”
About: I love pets don’t have any right now but had family pet for almost 15 years! Will care for your pet as our own! I will take care pet with love and care as if was my own! I’m at home a lot during day so able to pet sit and walk your pet thru out the day wouldn’t be alone that much. Your pet would receive lots of attention and love. I have a fenced patio and pet friendly neighborhood. I would take serious care of your pet following any instructions or routine you and your pet have.
“Gloria was a godsend today and walked Ollie for me with literally only an hour notice! She was very communicative and respectful, and Ollie seems to love her, despite him being weary of strangers!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and familiarizing myself with their behaviors I have partnered up with several local shelters in Orange County and LA and have fostered many dogs long term and short term. I have trained them so they can be placed in loving homes and have an easy transition. Each dog that comes in, I treat them like my own and give them all the love and exercise they need. Currently I do not have any fosters in my care and I welcome dogs of many backgrounds. I have a flexible schedule as I have my own business offering legal and identity protection. I work from home and have several entreprenurial ventures. I make my own schedule so I can give your dog the time and attention it needs. I simply abide by the owners wishes and follow their routine. i maintain the same command gestures as the owners and I make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! I grew up with dogs, had a handsome black cat for 14 wonderful years, and have experience owning and caring for horses and rabbits. I’m currently a proud dog mom to two lovable menaces who keep me on my toes daily! From high-energy troublemakers to laid-back cuddle bugs, I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and treat every animal like one of my own. I currently work part-time mid-shift (two 12 hour shifts) with variable days. My schedule outside of work is fairly flexible! I’m also a night owl, so if you’re a night shifter that needs fur baby help later in the evening/night, I’m available. I treat every pet like they’re one of my own! I know every animal has their own personality, quirks, and routine, so I tailor my care to their individual needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, an adventure for a high-energy pup, or some extra love and attention, I prioritize safety, comfort, and happiness. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all care instructions, and maintain their pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands!
“We appreciate Shena so much!! 🥰 She’s kind and communicate. Her updates are always great and bring me so much joy. She’s been walking our pup Cash for 8 months now and he adores her! 🩵”
“Brittany is a gem (says my furry pup, Coal). Thank you for all the walks while we were on vacation. It is such a relief knowing we have Brittany to depend on entrusting our boy while we are away. Thank you!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet! Whether you’re away at work, out for the day, or just need an extra hand, I want you to feel confident knowing your furry family member is getting the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m a proud dog mom to Moose, my Bernese Mountain Dog, so I’m no stranger to big personalities, playful energy, and dogs who need a little extra attention! Having a large dog of my own has taught me the importance of patience, understanding different personalities, and making sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for. I also work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to offer walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a nice long walk, a potty break, some playtime, or just a little companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup and treat them like one of my own! 🐾 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to be highly available and flexible with your dog's needs. Whether it's providing multiple walks, play sessions, or simply being there to keep your dog company, I'm able to give them the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. I understand how important it is to ensure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you're away, and my home setup allows me to give them the constant companionship and supervision that provides peace of mind. With my flexible schedule, your dog will never feel alone for too long, and I can accommodate any special routines or care they might need. I take great pride in providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for your dog, whether they are staying in my home or yours. In my townhome, I have a secure, gated park where your dog can run off-leash and enjoy some fun, exercise, and fresh air. The community is dog-friendly, with safe pathways and a peaceful environment, ensuring your dog is always in good hands. Inside my home, I make sure there’s plenty of cozy space for your dog to relax, play, or nap—whatever they prefer. I also maintain a consistent routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. For in-home pet sitting, I make sure to follow your dog's routine closely, keeping them in familiar surroundings while still offering playtime, walks, and lots of attention. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure that your dog gets plenty of love, exercise, and care to keep them happy and relaxed.
“Laura arrived on time to greet my anxious barking dog. She was unaffected by his barking and was able to calm him and take him for a nice walk in the park. I am so happy that she was willing to tolerate his anxiety and actually have him enjoy his afternoon. 😊. Thank you Laura!”
About: For the first time in 23 years I am living without a dog. I have had anywhere from my last solo pup to a pack of 4. I have gone through training with previous dogs so have experience with commands and reactive walkers. I have done dog sitting in other people’s homes, in my own, as well as drop ins and walks. Most of all I love dogs and am not quite ready to adopt again, but would love to help you with yours! I work for myself from home so I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am available most days and times depending on what you need. I have a spacious apartment that your pet will have free range of. There is no fenced yard, but I am in a very walkable neighborhood with parks nearby. And if your dog likes the beach I am just a short distance to Huntington Dog Beach.
About: I’ve always had animal growing up! I love taking care of animals. Would love to one day get my own, but right now just want to take care of others❤️ Im available before and after work daily. I currently work a full time job in Orange County. I’m also available all day on week end The place I’m currently living is not the best for bringing pets into the space. I would be more than willing to travel to the pets and pets owner house.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Valley
Mimi has been walking our pup for a few weeks now on a weekly basis and overall we are happy with everything, from how communicative and mindful she is of ours and our dog needs to how respectful, punctual and committed she is to make sure our furry child enjoys their walks together. We will definitely continue to be a returning customers!
Stacey has been great. She came at the same time each day and my dog and cat both enjoyed her company. It was such a relief to have her help while traveling for work. She also sent some good photos so I could see how my dog and cat were doing. I have already booked her again for help doing more work trips in the next month. So glad I found her.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about my dog walker! She took such great care of my dog and was incredibly patient and understanding with him. He is very skittish and isn’t the easiest dog to win over, so gaining his trust takes time and a lot of patience. I truly appreciate that she allowed him to warm up to her at his own pace and never rushed the process. It was so reassuring to see him become more comfortable with her and know that he felt safe and cared for. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really showed, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. I will absolutely be recommending her to my friends and family, and I will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and patient to care for their furry family member! ❤️🐾
We’ve been using Nadine to walk our two boys, our Dalmatian and French Bulldog, and we couldn’t be happier! She’s always so quick to respond, very communicative, and we absolutely love the photos and updates we get after their walks. She’s reliable, caring, and has become the only dog walker we use. We highly recommend Nadine! ❤️🐾
Elise was a breath of fresh air! I recently moved to Fountain Valley, and my biggest concern was finding someone reliable, trustworthy, and caring to walk my dog (or my whole world, if you prefer). I travel frequently for work and need this service quite often. I met Elise, and she cares for my pup when I’m away. She is a 10-star professional! I can now go on work trips without worrying about my dog, and that’s a huge statement. She’s absolutely amazing!
Lily and Jason have been walking my corgi, Finley, since March, four days a week, and I truly don’t know what I would do without them. They have been incredibly reliable, caring, and flexible. There was one week when I needed extra help with six walks instead of the usual four because I had a wedding, and they were so accommodating and made it work. It means so much to have people I can count on when unexpected things come up. They don’t just take great care of Finley, they genuinely care about him. They even surprised him with a birthday gift, which was such a thoughtful gesture and meant a lot to me. Knowing Finley is in good hands while I’m at work or when something last minute comes up gives me so much peace of mind. I’m beyond thankful to have found Lily and Jason and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving dog walkers!
Isaacia was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond what we asked of her and made sure everything ran smoothly without a single issue (and we were gone for a quite a while). Her communication was really good and she provided updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She handled the loud 4th of July fireworks to keep our dogs inside before things got really loud. She was very reliable from the first meet up, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!!
