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! I provide a loving, attentive, and stress-free environment where your dog can feel at home. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs, dietary requirements, or medications. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your fur baby will be treated like family! 🫶🏼
About: Anyone that knows me can attest to my near obsession with the furry animals and I love having them in the house and they are my main priority. I live in a quad plex in Long Beach that has a back yard with a fence. I work remotely for the most part so will be with your fur babies most of the time! I will be with your dog as much as needed so I can make my schedule flexible in order to make it the most comfortable for your animals!
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life, and while my parents never let me have one growing up, I’ve found plenty of ways to be around them. I’ve housesat for friends and neighbors, and I always follow each pet’s regular schedule so they can stay on their routine. Routine is very important to me because it helps pets feel comfortable, whether they’re at my house or their own. I also have experience with cats. When my housemate traveled on weekends, I took care of his two cats. I weighed their food, kept the litter box clean, refreshed their water daily, and gave medication to one of them who has hyperthyroidism. I truly enjoy caring for pets. I’m also saving up to pay off grad school, and someday I hope to adopt a dog of my own. Until then, I’d love to spend time with your pup and treat them like my own. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing! My flexible work hours allow me to choose my schedule around pet care making it easy for me to dedicate time for walks, playtime, and overall care, ensuring that the pet feels loved and engaged. After a long day at work, I find great joy in taking walks allowing me to unwind and enjoy the fresh air. Caring for pets in a client’s home involves following their established routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime. I ensure pets receive their meals on schedule and get plenty of walks throughout the day. I also maintain hygiene by cleaning litter boxes and refreshing water, while administering any necessary medications. Regular check ins with the owner keep them updated on their pets’ wellbeing, ensuring peace of mind while they’re away.
“Rich walker our dog during the holidays. He followed the instructions and schedule and he was very responsible. He was able to come on time on Christmas Eve after he had dinner with his family. He didn’t forget about our dog when one of his family member went to ER. He communicated it well and we adjusted the schedule so that it worked for both of us. I would highly recommend Rich if you are looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I understand what dogs need because I pay attention to the small things. When my own dog, Gorio, gets anxious, I don't just manage it—I anticipate it. I've learned to read his cues, adjust environments before he gets overwhelmed, and create routines that help him feel secure. I've taken him camping, navigated social situations with other dogs, and made tough calls to protect his wellbeing even when it's inconvenient for me. I treat every dog in my care like they matter—not as a job, but as a responsibility I take seriously. Whether your pup needs patience, structure, or just someone who won't leave them feeling like a burden, I show up fully present. Your dog won't just be watched—they'll be seen. Working part time as a surgical technologist, I usually work 3-4 days a week. On my own time I can do mornings on Mondays and Tuesdays I can also do Saturday evenings and Sunday evenings Home Visits: I respect your dog's space and routine. I will pay attention first to their comfort level, read their cues, and don't force interaction, when they are anxious. I’m very patient with them, so I make sure they feel safe, not stressed by having a stranger in their home. Walks: I'm mindful of your dog's pace and energy. I don't rush them. I'm aware of their triggers and keep them feeling protected, not overwhelmed. Overnight Stays: I'm consistent and reliable. Your dog won't be left wondering or anxious. I make decisions that prioritize their wellbeing, even when it's inconvenient for me.
About: My background includes a lifetime of multi-pet experience, from growing up with dogs and cats, years of trusted pet-sitting for family members, and being a pet parent raising my own dog and cat for the last six (6) years. I'm experienced in managing the delicate needs of kittens and providing the gentle care required for senior dogs. Whether your pet needs a walk or a comforting check-in, I am happy to lend a helping hand to keep them safe, happy, and relaxed while you are away. I currently have a four (4) day work week, allowing me provide drop in visits and walks for your pet on a predictable schedule Friday-Sundays. Whether you may be travelling or need an extra helping hand, I'm happy to step in! Your trust, your pets safety and the security of your home are my highest priorities. During every drop-in visit and walk, I ensure all doors are secured upon entering and leaving, maintain strict leash safety outdoors by avoiding distractions (reactive dog owner!), and provide photo updates for your peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats mutually coexisting, ever since I was little. I have worked with family and friends who are in need of pet care. I help with my mom’s art business from home. My weekdays and weekends are usually always open, which makes my schedule easy to work around. I will patiently work with your pets however needed, with whatever instructions are given. If a mess is made I will make sure your home stays clean.

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 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.
“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!”
“Michelle was great throughout the process, from the initial meet and greet to the first walk with Buster. Buster is very shy and Michelle made a point to be take things slowly with him. She remembered all the details of the house as well. I definitely plan on using Michelle again in the future.”
“Very communicative and patient with Barley which I appreciate! Always responds to my last minute requests which is honestly great to have someone I can trust to be there for my dog when I cannot make it home in time lol”

About: I have taken care of pets from young age. Apart from my own childhood pet, I have pet sat various dogs of different ages. From a dog with special dietary and exercise needs to a senior dog with specific medications needed per day. Currently, I am in training with my own puppy.

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!!
