Dog Walking Ivy Hill

“Patrice was very prompt and communicative. She helped my nervous senior dog to feel comfortable with her and was able to take him out for a successful walk when he has been very shy with other dog walkers. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: New to the app but I’ve been caring for friends’ pets for the last 15 years. Let me give you some peace of mind and your cuties some love while you are away. Freshly unemployed so my books are wide open at the moment. Get in with your preferred service times while my schedule is still clear, around the clock availability. I only offer services based in clients’ homes for the time being as I have two large dogs in my home. In the future for long term dog care clients, we can explore day care or play dates once trust is established for everyone involved. Until then I am happy to provide one on one time and undivided attention for your cats and dogs while you are away.

About: I have a flexible schedule and am booking dog walks and drop-ins! I can accommodate for whether your dog likes more activity or needs a quiet and calm environment. I have experience dealing with dogs and other animals with anxiety and other medical or physical needs. I work from home at my own pace so I can accommodate different needs! Ideally, pet guests can be left at home alone for about an hour for errands and other events that come up. Please provide a crate if your dog cannot be left alone for over an hour. My home is responsible and dog safe with gates to prevent access to the kitchen. My yard is not fenced but I always keep dogs leashed.

“Elise did a great job walking my Great Dane mix. She was very energetic and positive, and my dog seemed very comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”

“Thanks for walking Paco!”

“Adam was great with our husky while we were out. He took her on long walks, was timely and was very flexible with little adjustments during his visits. We loved his daily updates/photos.”

“We've been hiring Amiri for years to walk our 90lb bulldog. Our dog has some territorial issues and he worked with us to train him, and now we hire Amiri every time we travel. He's always responsive and on time. Highly recommend!”

“Came to meet our dog before the walk. Was reliable and very good to our barky dog. I would definitely use her again and recommend her.”

About: I've always loved dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that's going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I know every dog has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they're comfortable and cared for the way they're used to. I work from home three times a week which gives me more time to care for pups. This is something that allows me more flexibility with care needs. I do not have any other pets in the home which allows your pet to have all my attention, therefore meeting whatever need they may have.

“Christine was great with our dog and cat. She was reliable, patient and a good communicator. We will definitely have her look after our fur babies again!”

About: I’ve been caring for and training dogs for years, and I love helping them feel safe, happy, and understood. One of my earliest challenges was with my parents’ high-energy dog — I successfully trained him not to bolt out the door when it opened 🚪🐕 (no small feat!). That experience taught me the power of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. 🐶 My Rescue Story I was the sole caregiver for my own rescue dog, who came to me fearful of strangers and unsure around other dogs. Over time, I: • Helped her grow comfortable meeting new people & pups 🤝 • Taught her not to jump on visitors 🙅‍♀️ • Trained her to “check in” with me before leaving for walks 🚶‍♀️ • Built her confidence to stay calm when home alone 💤 💛 Why Dogs Love Me Beyond training, I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, grooming, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment. I’m skilled at reading dog body language 🐕‍🦺 so I can keep pups comfortable and stress-free. I’m available on weekends, as well as Mondays and Fridays. I’m also happy to stay over on Monday nights, as long as you don’t need me to stay past 8am the following morning. When I care for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and plenty of exercise and playtime. I pay close attention to their body language and comfort level, so I can adapt my approach to their needs. I also give lots of affection (if they enjoy it!) and keep their environment clean and safe. You’ll get updates with photos so you know they’re happy and cared for while you’re away.

“Esteban is wonderful! Our dog Luna took to them right away, and it's clear they genuinely care about the animals in their care. I also really enjoyed getting to chat with Esteban—they're warm, friendly, and easy to talk to :)”

“Kalen came for the first walk and meeting right on time, actually a bit early! He has something special with animals, both dogs came right up to him and started snuggling; if you knew my dogs you would understand what a big deal this is. He took both of them on the walk and when he came back both dogs looked happy and tired. The dogs stayed with him while he was saying goodbye and the cat now loves him. I would recommend Kalen!”

About: I have beet pet sitting since I was 19. Started off helping out family and friends to then the neighbors and people around my area. I have just recently joined Rover now that I moved to Irvine. Trying to establish a network and serve my community! I love pets especially dogs, of all kinds and sizes. I am super flexibly and thorough. Please don’t be afraid to reach out! Pet care and pet sitting fits naturally into my routine! I plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I am a very concerned and thorough pet parent. With two boys (dogs) of my own, I am constantly concerned with their well being. Affection, exercise and nutrition are the cornerstones of my care!

About: I have a pup of my own that I have raised as a puppy. She is a handful but perfect to me and my life. I work full time but will always make time to make sure your fur baby gets the care they need. Evening or morning availability open. I take care of two dogs in my current household that are both energetic so I put a lot of time into their play hours.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and kittens my whole life and continued adopting them as an adult — animals have always been at the heart of my home! I’ve raised and trained a puppy from 8 weeks old, cared for up to 3 medium-sized dogs at a time, and have experience housing and caring for rabbits, birds, and reptiles too. 🐶🐱🐰🦜🐸🦎 Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, loving home where they’ll be treated like family! I’m also a pet parent myself — my 1-year-old pup and 9-year-old cat are both incredibly friendly with people and other animals and absolutely love making new friends. They’re always excited to welcome new furry guests! 🐕🐈 I believe pet sitting is so much more than just filling a food bowl twice a day — it’s about being real company for your pet. Surrounded by cozy blankets, their favorite toys from home, and plenty of love, your pet will feel comfortable and right at ease from the moment they arrive. I’m happy to provide multiple daily walks and plenty of undivided attention throughout the day!

About: I have been caring for pets my entire life. I have always had at least two or three cats and dogs or two. I have raised puppies and cared for elderly pets. I have cared for diabetic cats and dogs with cancer. I understand the importance of following pet parents instructions when caring for other’s animals because each pet has very different needs. I am free right now all days but Tuesday which is when I attend classes at SFSU. I am free for dogs walks or dog sitting all days but Tuesday as long as I have a days notice. I live in an apartment with no yard right now down the street from lake Merrit. There is a dog park just 1 block down the street with a fence that I will walk dogs down to 4-8 times a day depending on the needs of the dog. We do have a large apartment and very pet friendly environment.

“My 80 lb American Staffy Mix adored Todd - and Todd was 100% considerate, knowledgeable, and confident with understanding how to interact and read dogs - which I adored! If you need someone to help with your pup - look no further than Todd. ?”
