Dog Walking in Madison Park, Santa Ana, CA

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, fish and frogs since I was a little girl. I worked at a pet hotel and daycare where I would greet, check in, play with and clean up after dogs and cats. I have also helped administer immunizations, microchips, heart dewormer, antibiotics and flea treatments. I also have experience with overnight care of small and large breed dogs. I currently work part time at a restaurant 4-5 days a week and have a lot of downtime. I am looking to fill that with some furry friends. I am cautious of opening doors, keeping them closed and ensuring escapes unlikely. I never take pets outside without proper supplies such as leash and harness, bags, their shoes and or other materials they may require.

About: As a mom of four and an empty nester, caring for others comes naturally to me. I’ve had dogs my whole life and am completely comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I currently spend my time caring for seniors, so patience and attentiveness are second nature. I speak both English and Spanish and treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I spend Monday through Wednesday at a senior home but have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation. I’m available for pet care the rest of the week (and Monday-Wednesday, as needed) and can adjust as needed for your pet's routine. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and am very comfortable caring for dogs in smaller spaces. I make sure pets get plenty of walks, attention, and love.

“Yolanda was so good to Archie and Millie! She was communicative and sent pictures. She went above and beyond. They seemed very calm and happy in her presence. We've already booked for more walks. 🐶”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life — caring for dogs and cats has always been second nature to me. At home, I have two rescued cats (ages 10 and 2) and a happy 3-year-old Golden Retriever, so I’m used to all kinds of personalities — from playful puppies to calm seniors. With over 10 years of experience, I know how important it is to follow your pet’s routine and keep them feeling safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication when needed, I’ll make sure your furry friend is cared for like my own. ❤️ I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m around most of the day to keep pets company. Whether it’s playtime with toys, cuddle breaks between work, or going out for walks, I love having furry friends as part of my daily routine. It’s easy for me to adjust my day around their needs — making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I live in a single family home where pets have plenty of space to play and relax. We have a secure fenced yard, perfect for safe outdoor time and fun walks. I also walk the dogs 3–4 times a day (they never get bored!) and always keep fresh water out, changing it twice daily. I have two friendly, social cats and a gentle Golden Retriever who loves making new friends — they’re all very dog-friendly and happy to keep your pet company. I don’t usually use crates for my own pets since they’re free to roam and feel comfortable at home, but I can absolutely crate your pet if that’s part of their routine or helps them feel safe. My goal is to make your pet feel at ease and cared for, just like they would at home. 🐾💛

About: I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family, because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to treat mine. I focus on creating a clam safe and loving environment. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily life. I live on a mini farm property with plenty of space for playtime. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, my priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. If your pet has specific needs, like crate training, medication, or anxiety care, I’m experienced and happy to accommodate.

About: I've had the pleasure of having 10 dogs in my lifetime from childhood until now, with 4 of them being boxers. I believe dogs are God's greatest gift to us, and I am passionate about providing the best care possible. My experience with a variety of breeds and ages has given me the skills and knowledge to ensure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you're away. Whether it's a walk in the park, playtime at home, or attentive care for a senior dog, I am dedicated to meeting your pet's unique needs with kindness and expertise. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I am available weekdays early mornings until 2 PM, with flexible availability on the weekends. Just provide me with enough notice, and I can ensure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I can also accommodate special scheduling requests as needed. My availability is flexible overall, so I can work around your schedule to meet your pet's needs. House Sitting: I maintain a calm and familiar environment for your pet, following your specific instructions for feeding, routines, and special needs. I ensure your home and pets are safe and well-cared for in your absence. Dog Walking: I use secure leashes and choose safe routes tailored to your pet's needs. I am attentive to their behavior and potential hazards, providing a safe and enjoyable walking experience. Drop-In Visits: During drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s care routine precisely, including feeding, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure to keep your home and pet secure, providing companionship and attention while you’re away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I strive to build trust with both you and your pet.

“Very dependable and punctual!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after pets of all kinds—from playful dogs to cats, rabbits to birds of all kinds, other small animals and fish. I make sure each one feels safe and comfortable. My goal is to give every pet the same affection and attention they’d get at home. I am an older adult, retired registered nurse, animal lover who has an open schedule and a big heart ready to dedicate to pet sitting Safety, trust, and comfort are the foundation of my pet care.

About: With two dogs in my own household, I love being able to know I can not only care for but also make doggos happy! I love playing fetch or maybe even trying to teach them a trick to keep them entertained. I work full time but have a varied schedule. This leaves me time to fill my day hanging out with fun animals! If it’s a drop in or a dog walk, I’d love to keep your pets entertained! I have two friendly dogs in my household with a large backyard and secure fencing. There’s plenty of space both in and outside the home to keep them entertained and having fun.

“Thanks again!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and all animals since I was about 8! I grew up on a horse farm in Michigan and always had the responsibility of caring for my horse and my dog! As I got older it became a passion of mine. I am currently in school. Prior to me living in California I worked for canine academy as a K9 off leash dog trainer. I also had a small group of dogs I would walk, watch and care for as well. I have found some extra free time in my life currently and I would love to help watch and care for your furry friend while you’re away at work or on a trip! I have found myself a bit bored sitting at home now a days when I have time away from school and I would love to keep myself busy doing something that genuinely makes me happy! I offer whatever it may be that would make you animal feel most safe. Outdoor time if that’s what is needed, a nice walk to calm down and get rid of energy, backyard time, other dog play time if acceptable. Lots of love and cuddles! Every dog is different.. all depends on the dog itself

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and play with their dogs. I currently own a golden retriever who is downright spoiled! I also love cats! I recently rescued a kitty after the passing of our other cat, that is super energetic and lovable. My dream is to one day own enough land to rescue and foster several dogs, cats, goats, and chickens! I work remotely and my job is very flexible, so I can be very accommodating to your schedule! I’m also a very active person, so I’d love to take your dog out for a walk or even a run if they enjoy that! I’m very responsible. I’ve owned my own dog for 5 years and grew up with 3 dogs in my family that I was responsible for caring for in some capacity. I also own a cat, so I’m very familiar cleaning the litter, feeding, and even administering medications. I understand how stressful it is leaving your animals (I get very anxious myself), so I am happy to flood your phone with pictures to ensure your baby is well taken care of :)

About: I adopted a senior dog 6 years ago and sadly, lost him this year. This inspired me to start walking/sitting again so I can share my love of dogs with more furry friends. Throughout my teens and college years I dog sat until deciding to become a pet parent myself. I am very comfortable administering medications and catering to seniors unique needs. I even have a bike trailer if your dog has mobility issues, but still enjoys the outdoors. I also have experience with some farm animals including chickens, goats, and pigs. I love taking care of unique animals and am open to farm sitting as well. I’m a full time pet sitter, sometimes taking care of multiple pets at once. I’m extra flexible and available to give the best care possible! I try to keep to your pet’s schedule as closely as possible to make sure they’re not too thrown by having the most important person in their life gone. I focus on enrichment and exercise to keep your pet busy and happy while you’re away.

“Carissa is such a professional. She’s patient with our two dogs that are typically shy when meeting people. Very very communicative with regards to how the dogs are doing, sends lots of pics, follows all our unique instructions, and is punctual. So glad she chose to walk our dogs, and will absolutely use her again.”

“Rachel has been wonderful with our dog Corky. We set up a meet and greet prior to his first walk and Corky loved her! She is very prompt and Corky is alway waiting for her at the door. We would recommend Rachel for dog walking!!”
