Dog Walking Irvine Health And Science Complex

“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.”

About: I grew up with a dog and learned how to care for and raise him from a young age. He lived a long life and passed away in my arms at 17, which taught me how deeply pets become part of the family. Later, when I became a parent myself, we brought two dogs into our home right away. One of them had a congenital condition, and for 10 years we cared for him very attentively, making sure he lived a happy and comfortable life. This gave me strong experience not only in daily care, but also in supporting dogs with medical needs. Now our second dog has lost his companion, and I came to Rover to be helpful to other families and their pets. Your dog will not feel lonely — he will have company, care, and a warm, loving environment. I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home most of the day. I structure my day around the dogs — regular walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. It’s very important to me to keep a consistent routine and give each dog enough attention, especially during moments when they may miss their owners. We go on daily walks in safe and pleasant areas nearby. There is also a dog park where your dog can play off-leash if you are comfortable with that, as well as many walking trails for longer, relaxed walks. I always adjust the activity level to your dog’s needs and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We live in a bright, spacious apartment where your dog will feel comfortable and safe. I accept one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so each pet can receive plenty of attention and care. My child is 16 years old and has a great understanding of how to interact with animals respectfully and calmly. You can leave all your instructions, preferences, and schedules — I will follow them carefully to make sure your dog feels at home and stays in their usual routine.

“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 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!

“Elena was able to quickly respond to our request to walk our dog and help walk our dog the next day. She provided great communication and professionalism. We will definitely use her again!”

“Thanks for walking Lance! will rebook next time I need a walker. Polyanna sent me photos while she was out with my dog. I felt relieved to know he was being taken care of when I couldn't make it home at my usual time after work.”

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.

“GiGi did an excellent job walking my dog while we were gone for the day. She was reliable and on schedule. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible dog walker!”

Eric A.

“Maggie was amazing! Always on time (or even earlier) and was so great with my dog! She took our request on a super last minute booking and was truly a saving grace. She even brought little treats for my dog and kept me updated with pictures, videos, and little summaries of the walk after each one! Such a sweet and reliable person. Definitely recommend! Will be booking again soon(:”

Sarah S.

“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!”

I live in a pet friendly neighborhood with lots of places to walk around and a dog park.

About: I've taken care of personal dogs my entire adult life (+20 years) from walking to training to loving. I take instructions well and will be adamant in following your lead on how to care for your pet. After I take care of my quick routine, I begin to take Ellie on a 30 minute walk and then feed her. She’s energetic so I do this twice per day. I respect how pet owners respect their animals. From space to feeding schedules to loving more than usual. I provide trust and safety at all cost.

About: I have raised my dogs Mylo (12) and Pawnee (3) since they were 8 weeks old so I am very familiar with every stage from puppy to senior dog. I have also cared for family and friends' pets when they are out of town - this includes walking, feeding, training, bathing, and brushing their teeth. I believe enrichment, exercise, and proper health care for all dogs is so important so I can make sure your pet gets what he/she needs. One of my hobbies is also pet photography so I can take some adorable pictures of your dog for fun! I work remotely at home full-time so I have a flexible schedule to care for my own dogs as well as yours! We love to go on long walks and enjoy the fenced dog park which is conveniently located in my large apartment complex. If I have your dog on the weekend, I am happy to take them to the beach, on a hike, or just cuddle at home depending on their personality and your instructions! My home is clean, puppy-proofed ( you won’t have to worry about your pup eating anything he/she shouldn’t), and readily equipped with lots of great dog toys, treats, enrichment puzzles - you name it! I have two friendly dogs to keep your dog company so he/she will never be bored. I am also prepared to clean any potty accidents that may occur. If you prefer for your dog to be crated or to follow a certain schedule, I can certainly adhere to your preference! I have extra leashes, doggie bags, bowls, and other supplies so you won’t have to worry about forgetting anything. I’m also a hobby photographer so I’ll send some cute photos of your pups :) I work remotely full-time so I go on walks every 2-3 hours regularly. I have two dogs as well so having another furry friend around is great! 2023 Update: I will no longer be allowing people in my home during meet & greets and drop-offs due to personal reasons. I am happy to send photos and videos of my living space.

About: Hi neighbors! I'm Victoria, and I recently moved to the Los Olivos community. I love dogs and would be happy to help fellow neighbors by providing safe, reliable, and enjoyable walks for their furry family members. If you live in Los Olivos or Promenade and need someone trustworthy to walk your dog, I'd love to help! Whether you're at work, traveling, or simply having a busy day, your dog will receive my full attention, patience, and plenty of care on every walk. I'm responsible, punctual, and understand that every dog has its own personality and routine. I'll always follow your instructions carefully, prioritize your dog's safety, and make sure each walk is tailored to your dog's needs and energy level. I'm happy to arrange a complimentary meet-and-greet before our first walk, and I'll gladly send photo updates afterward so you can see your dog having a great time. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your four-legged family member. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to meeting you both! 🐶💕 I work from home, so your pet will always get attention and presence during the day, and a long walk in the morning and evening. I have a very cosy apartment with plenty of space to play. There is space for a crate, but it will have to be provided.

“Cie is an absolute gem!! Not only does my dog Lucy love her, but so does my super skittish cat Cooper. Cie has gone above and beyond making friends with Cooper and giving him some extra love every time she takes Lucy for a walk! She's great with dogs and cats!! She has even checked on him when I'm gone for the weekend making sure he's fed and comfy and giving him lots of attention.”

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 love caring for dogs, and I am home full time so they will have my complete attention. I treat your pets like they are my own and would never do anything that wasn’t in their best interest. I work from home daily and I am able to take multiple breaks during the day for walks and light training sessions, or simply enforcing their good behavior. Although I’m in an apartment, there are lots of enriching activities we can do, and there’s plenty to explore outside in the neighborhood so they don’t get bored.

About: Hi, I’m Susan! I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and treated like family while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and very mindful of each dog’s individual needs, routines, and personality. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I make sure they feel happy and secure. I’m dependable, communicative, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect I gave my own family’s dogs — lots of love, supervision, and attention. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I’m home every day and I can walk your Dog as needed due to my flexible schedule, Monday thru Friday. I love to be outdoors and love to have furry friends with me! I will care for your dog and make sure they feel comfortable and safe at all times. I make sure your dog is enjoying the experience.

“Tanya did a great job on her first walk with Ava....even after her car breaking down on the freeway that day. She made it on time and kept in constant contact with me giving me piece of mind since we were out of town for the day. We will defiantly have Tanya back for walks and I booked an overnight stay next month for Ava at her place, so much better than having to board her! Thank you so much Tanya!!”

About: Dogs have always been an important part of our family, and caring for them comes naturally to us. We especially enjoy looking after small and medium-sized companion breeds such as Toy Poodles, Maltipoos, Cavapoos, Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Yorkies, Havanese, Shih Tzus, and similar breeds. Every dog receives individual attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, affection, and a calm, clean environment. We follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive regular walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep my schedule organized so each dog receives personalized care and a relaxed home environment. Your dog's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, quiet, smoke-free home where pets are treated like family. Fresh water is always available, feeding instructions are carefully followed, and I can administer medications if needed. I send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your trip knowing your dog is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
