Dog Walking in Newport Beach

“Sarah is super accommodating and extremely kind! She treated our puppy as her own and spoiled her with lots of snuggles. We even felt comfortable enough to extend our vacation because we knew our puppy was in the very best hands while we were away!”

About: I have three rescued pets at home: an 8-year-old (reactive) lab mix, a super friendly 8-year-old cat, and a shy 4-year-old cat. This gives me a pretty good idea of how to handle different pet personalities! My pup needs some extra care and attention, which has taught me how to manage reactive behaviors and create safe spaces by reinforcing routines. I also know how to help shy pets feel comfortable and secure. What makes me stand out is my ability to cater to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s using positive reinforcement for training or just providing a cozy, loving environment. I’m all about making sure your pets feel happy and relaxed while you’re away! I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets! I have plenty of availability throughout the day for drop-ins or walks; just let me know what you need. When it comes to caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, trust, and keeping a calm environment. I stick to their routines—like feeding and walking schedules—and use their favorite toys to help them feel comfortable. Safety is super important, so I’m dedicated to creating a secure space for your pets. I really believe in getting to know each pet and understanding their unique needs and behaviors, which helps me anticipate any situations that might come up. Building trust is essential, so I take the time to make sure they feel relaxed and at ease with me. Overall, my goal is to provide loving and attentive care that keeps your pets happy while you’re away!

About: I love all to get all the details, any special scratches, snuggles, cuddles, rubs, hugs or nicknames Fido or Fifi prefers Please Let me Know. I want to provide the same comfort a beloved family member might. Obviously, no one can replace their real Mom or Dad, but I like to try! 4 Paws Up! I have experience administering medications, if necessary. Hopefully it's just walks, fun. snuggles, and maybe a treat or two. 😄 I have a flexible schedule at the moment. I look forward to helping your pets at the appropriate time to keep them healthy and happy. I'll read and reread any notes or instructions left for me, so I can care and keep you fur baby safe and sound. I'm great at keeping an eye on the house, locking up and hanging out with your pets for a good night's sleep. I don't drink and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

“Jaclyn has been very friendly, dependable and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend!”

About: While I haven’t worked professionally as a dog walker before, I’ve spent years around dogs through friends, family members, and roommates. I’m comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and personalities and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety during walks. As a remote professional, I have more flexibility than many walkers. That means I can often accommodate midday walks, maintain consistent schedules, and provide timely communication. Reliability is important to me, and I treat every booking with the same level of responsibility I would expect from someone caring for my own pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, maintain awareness of our surroundings during walks, and provide updates so you know how your dog is doing. As someone with a flexible remote work schedule, I’m able to be reliable, responsive, and focused on providing a safe and positive experience for every pet in my care.

“Lily was great! Showed up right on time, followed all directions and my dogs who love their mom actually relaxed and enjoyed their walk Lily! That is huge, she is a natural!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience. Right now, I care for my own 7-month-old Belgian Malinois mix puppy, Calico, which has given me plenty of practice handling energetic breeds, training, and creating routines. I also have a gecko, so I’m comfortable caring for exotic pets with unique needs. In the past, I’ve cared for senior dogs too — my current family dog is 12 years old and thriving — so I know how to provide gentle care for older pups. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, or exotic pets, I make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and loved like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of availability to fit pet care into my routine. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs. :) I make sure every pet has their basic needs met like fresh food, water, bathroom breaks, and a safe, clean environment. I pay close attention to their energy levels, giving active dogs lots of exercise and playtime, while keeping senior or calmer pets comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and routine are always my top priorities.

About: I have had a dog at home most of my life, and regularly walk and feed them. My friends and family trust me with watching their dogs as well! I recently went up to LA for the night to care for a friend’s large-sized dog, including walking, feeding, providing supplements, etc:) I just finished college, and I have plenty of time to care for dogs, looking to make some money! I typically walk outside multiple times per day, so walking pets fits into my routine perfectly. I have time both during the week and weekend to spend full days caring for dogs. I follow rules well and pay attention to details. Please provide any specific information and requests needed for your pet and I will be happy to comply!

“Dandan was wonderful with my dog and adjusted so easy to my last minute request. Will definitely use her again!”

About: Pet sitter in Newport. Quite new to Rover with little experience here now, but I’ve also looked after my own pets always. I’m reliable and calm. I rescued my cat after she was abandoned by ex neighbor and she’s a happy indoor cat now. Flexible schedule and I can come any time of the day. Available most days. Newport Beach, working mainly locally. Send me a message, thank you. For boarding I’m often home during the day too, but sometimes out. Let me know how anything specific you’d like me to do. I will take care of your pets and make sure they’re happy, safe and healthy.

About: I have grown up with my dog since fourth grade. I did the potty training, picking the poop, walks and more. As a college student, I would be homesick primarily because I miss my dog. I will cherish your pet with as much love as I have. I will find so much joy in watching your pet. I am currently on summer break therefore have several free time to spend with your pup. I will devote time and energy to give your dog love! I am available to drive to your home so your pet feels more safe. I will provide your pet with love by walking him/her, feeding and giving all the belly rubs the dog desires.

“McKenna is absolutely wonderful! We did a meet and greet before our first scheduled walk. She’s so great with Rosie and has a lot of knowledge with puppy training. Great communication. So thankful I found her! Even recommended her to a few friends.”

About: As a former dog owner, I understand the deep love, care, and attention our pets deserve. Although my own dog passed away in November 2020, visits to the dog beach still bring back cherished memories and a sense of joy. I bring that same compassion and dedication when caring for other dogs—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m attentive to their needs, providing regular bathroom breaks, playtime, cuddles, meals, and companionship in a calm, nurturing environment. I currently work in the dental field and have the flexibility to create my own schedule, allowing me to take on additional responsibilities outside of my primary role. This flexibility enables me to be readily available and adaptable to your needs. Whatever you require, I am confident in my ability to provide reliable and attentive support. I believe in building trust and creating a safe, comforting environment for your pet while you're away. Pets have a remarkable way of bringing out the best in us, teaching us unconditional love and compassion. I approach every pet with gentleness, attentiveness, and genuine care and am always sensitive to their individual needs. Whether it's taking walks, enjoying time in the sun, playing, or simply offering affection and companionship, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy and secure. I also ensure their basic needs are consistently met, including regular bathroom breaks, fresh water, proper feeding, and a calm, stress-free environment.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I’m able to give. I work freelance with a flexible work schedule, so dogs are rarely left alone and become part of our daily routine. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs, and I’m happy to reinforce basic training and routines. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing extra care for dogs that need it. Our home is calm, dog-friendly, and shared with our 4-year-old mini Australian Shepherd who is friendly, well-socialized, and loves other dogs. We love going on walks during the day whether it is by the beach or the bay. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and low-stress environment so both pets and owners feel at ease. You can rest assured that your pup will be loved and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home. I structure my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and rest, so dogs get consistent attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. We go on regular neighborhood walks around the Balboa Peninsula, with plenty of outdoor time balanced by calm downtime at home. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family and included in our daily routine. I follow each dog’s schedule closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and I make sure they’re always supervised, comfortable, and safe. Dogs get regular walks, enrichment, and calm downtime, along with lots of affection and attention. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and house rules to keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. I provide consistent care, exercise, companionship, and any special needs such as medication, training reinforcement, or senior care. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they feel confident their pets are well cared for.
