Your Pet's Favorite Routine!
Honestly? Dogs are just my people. I have a 3-year-old Golden named Ares, and I'm also hands-on with a family pack of five Goldens, so between the zoomies, the senior slow walks, and everything in between, I've pretty much seen it all. Big dogs, reactive dogs, medication schedules, strict feeding routines, none of that phases me. What I care most about is that you actually feel good leaving. Not just okay with it, genuinely at ease. So I follow your routine to the letter, send real photo updates (not just the posed ones), and I'm always on time. Always. We're lucky to be close to some great spots, the coastal trails in Newport, the paths near Crystal Cove, Heritage Dog Park, and I know how to navigate them safely. I keep a close eye on the environment, especially brush and ticks, because your dog doesn't know what they're getting into but I do. Whether your dog needs a long run or just a calm, quiet visit with someone who actually gets them, I've got it covered.

Safety, trust & environment
When I am in your home for a drop-in or picking up your dog for a walk, safety and respect for your space are my absolute top priorities. I treat your home with the exact same care I treat my own, ensuring doors, gates, and locks are fully secured before and after every single visit. Out on the trails or sidewalks, I am hyper-vigilant about our surroundings, steering clear of hazardous brush, hot pavement, or unpredictable off-leash dogs. I stick strictly to your instructions and always leave things exactly as I found them.
Ratings and reviews
Judith is amazing and caring animal lover. She has the deepest passion for caring for all animas. On numerous occasions, she has taken care of my beloved golden retrievers. They love spending time with her. Judith not only provides basic essential needs like feeding them and providing a home, she also advocates for them in person, online, and any other way she can. Judith is genuine with her care and love for animals. I can assure that anyone would left comfortable, is they leave their pet in the care of Judith.
I am a registered veterinary technician; therefore, my standards for pet care are incredibly high. Judy is one of the few people I know and will trust implicitly. I have seen her dog-sit firsthand, and her attention to detail, safety, and hygiene is unparalleled. She perfectly balances deep affection with strict routines our loved ones need to thrive. She does not just love animals; she truly understands how to advocate for their well-being. As a fellow pet parent, she understands the deep love, devotion, and bond we share with our companions. Any pet parent would be incredibly fortunate to have Judy care for their beloved companion.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Judy as a sitter for my dog, Chloe. From the moment they met, it was obvious that Judy has a genuine love for dogs. Chloe absolutely adores her—they play together, cuddle, and Chloe is always so excited to see her. As a dog owner, there's nothing more reassuring than seeing your pet so happy and comfortable with someone else. Judy treats Chloe like she's one of her own, and it truly shows. She is attentive, patient, loving, and always makes sure Chloe gets plenty of affection and care. Knowing Chloe is with Judy gives me complete peace of mind because I know she's not just being watched—she's being loved. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family and care for them as if they were her own, I wholeheartedly recommend Judy. Your furry family member couldn't be in better hands.
I wholeheartedly recommend Judith C. to anyone looking for safe, loving, and dependable care. Judy is one of the most compassionate, trustworthy, and genuinely kind people I know. As a devoted pet owner herself, it’s clear how much she loves animals—her own dog is incredibly well cared for and truly reflects the level of attention and love she gives. I have no doubt she will treat every pet with the same kindness, patience, and dedication. I recommend her without hesitation.

Schedule
Right now, my daily availability is incredibly flexible. I am currently taking some time between career moves, which means my week is wide open to prioritize your pet's needs. Whether you need a bright and early morning walk, mid-day drop-ins while you are at the office, or evening care, I can easily build my day around your dog's established routine. My own dog, Ares, has his set schedule, leaving the vast majority of my day completely open to step in exactly when you need me.
