Dog Walking Great Park

“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.”

“Susana is very reliable and dependable. My dog is normally very anxious when I come home from a long trip, but this time I came home to a very calm dog. Thank you for taking great care of my Maverick ❤️🐕”

About: I’ve had pets of my own since I was a little girl and have always treated them with the love and respect that they deserve. I’ve raised a puppy of my own during COVID which was humbling but extremely rewarding as he is truly the best boy and now my best friend. I’ve been around dogs of all ages all my life and understand that each dog is different, each with their own personality, just like us humans. I have the patience it takes to understand dogs and know that it’s not always easy for them to express themselves, body language being a huge thing I look at. Owning an orange tabbycat of my own, I also have experience with understanding a cat’s needs and although they can be more skiddish, they seek and deserve just as much care and attention. I hope I have the opportunity to help you to take care of your pet in whatever way I can, and trust that they are under my safe and full supervision. I’m currently working full time but am available and eager to help you with your pets on afternoons, nights and weekends. Whatever your pet’s needs are, I’m happy to help. I live in Lake Forest and work full time in Mission Viejo, so I am willing to go anywhere in the South OC area to care for your fur babies! I have a small dog and cat of my own at home, so I can understand how much caution goes into owning and taking care of a pet. My priority is making pets feel comfortable and safe in a place where they can both have fun and relax, because we all deserve to feel that peace at home. As a pet parent, I always check that risky items are stored away so that there’s less room for error, that there’s always access to food and water (unless instructed otherwise of course!) and that fun toys are in reach!

About: I truly love animals and naturally connect well with dogs and cats. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort needs. I have experience caring for a senior cat with a hip injury for over 3 years, including daily feeding, litter cleaning, mobility support, and gentle companionship. I’m comfortable with dog walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic care, and sending regular photo updates so pet parents can feel relaxed while away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently have a flexible schedule during weekdays, which allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship for pets. In clients’ homes, I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special care needs to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar space. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and energy levels, especially with shy, senior, or sensitive animals. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for pet parents.

About: Have 7 years experience watching dogs of all shapes and sizes. Neighbors and family have all gave their trust in me to watch their pets. Besides being an owner to a 8 year old 50 pound Labradoodle, I have experience with senior dogs and attending to their special needs or even those who still may get the occasional zoomies and need extra playtime and attention. I also am in school for Animal Science and am planning on going to Veterinary School, so you can feel confident in the fact that I truly have a passion for what I do and just want to make sure your dogs are safe and comfortable. Currently working part time so I am available mostly everyday. I am available Monday - Friday from whenever time needed. The weekend I am more busy but I can always adjust my schedule. When caring for your pet in your home, safety and security are my top priorities. I strictly follow all of your locking and security procedures to ensure your home is safe. I am highly mindful of door runners and know how to carefully enter and exit to prevent pets from slipping out. Because my schedule is incredibly open, I am available to spend maximum quality time with your pet. I will never leave them unattended for more than 2 to 3 hours at a time.During walks, your dog will always be on a secure, standard leash. I practice defensive walking, meaning I am always on the lookout for other dogs and will proactively steer clear of them to keep our walk stress-free. I also regularly check weather and pavement temperatures throughout the day to ensure the ground is never too hot for your dog's paws.In the rare event of an emergency, I know how to remain calm, professional, and resourceful. I will always collect your preferred vet information beforehand so I can act immediately to get your dog the proper care while keeping you fully informed.

“Reinaldo is great with my dogs, especially my new puppy. He arrives on time and provides updates. He’s also quick to respond to messages. We will definitely book him again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 15. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets. I’m currently retired, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m available everyday, to walk your dogs and take care of them. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment and I have plenty of space for your pet to roam around. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

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)

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!

“Norah is super sweet! She’s been so patient with our shy, nervous little Noodle. On top of it, Norah has been very reliable, quick to respond and flexible with last minute needs. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and caring for them has always brought me joy. I’ve helped family, friends, and neighbors with their pets by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love along the way. At home, I have two sweet cats, one a rescued stray and the other was the runt of his litter, who’ve taught me patience, compassion, and how every animal deserves special care. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog who needs gentle attention, or a shy kitty who warms up slowly, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Because I work part-time, I have lots of extra time to spend with furry friends. I’m available most weekdays and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I also keep my calendar updated so pet parents can book with confidence. If you ever need last minute care, feel free to reach out I’ll always do my best to help. My home is cozy and pet-friendly, with plenty of space for play and rest. I also share it with my two sweet cats, who are very gentle and welcoming with other animals. If a pet prefers their own space, I can easily separate them to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I believe in treating pets like family. I’ll provide them with lots of cuddles, belly rubs, playtime, and frequent potty breaks to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy.

“Lauren was great! I really appreciated how she worked with Ottie and all his little quirks. He take a minute to warm up, but I could tell he really like Lauren. Will be using her for all my future dog walking needs!”

“Very kind and caring walkers. Ricky had no issues with them, so they must be good people. Mom said Ricky was super happy for an hour after the walk then just slept for the rest of the night- perfect. Thanks”

“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.”
