Dog Walking Newport Coast

“My dog liked Courtney very much! highly recommend her taking care of your pup”

Kerick S.

About: I've shared my life with animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds and currently have a senior Husky named Aurora, so I've experienced everything from raising high-energy working dogs to caring for an older dog with changing needs. Those experiences have taught me that no two animals are alike. One of the things I love most about caring for pets is getting to know their individual personalities. Some dogs want to spend every minute playing fetch, while others are happiest taking a slow walk and taking in the world around them. Some cats will curl up beside you immediately, while others prefer to earn your trust on their own terms. I believe great pet care starts with understanding and respecting each animal for who they are rather than expecting them all to be the same. When I'm caring for your pet, my goal isn't just to make sure they're fed and exercised—it's to make sure they feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I pay attention to their routines, quirks, preferences, and body language so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave a beloved animal in someone else's care. Aurora has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting to a pet's unique needs, especially as they get older. Whether I'm caring for an energetic puppy, a large-breed dog, a senior pet, or a cat that needs a little extra patience, I approach every animal with the same respect, attentiveness, and affection I would want for my own. I also offer overnight house sitting and understand that caring for a home is part of caring for a pet. I'm happy to help with small household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out trash bins, and keeping an eye on things while you're away so you can travel with greater peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your pets, learning their personalities, and providing them with a safe, comfortable, and loving experience while you're away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight visits, and I make it a priority to be responsive, reliable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. For house sitting, I spend quality time with pets and do my best to maintain their normal routine and environment. I understand that consistency is important, and I strive to provide attentive care and regular updates so owners can enjoy peace of mind while they're away. One of the biggest things I've learned from growing up with German Shepherds and caring for my senior Husky, Aurora, is that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and way of communicating. Some pets are immediately social and affectionate, while others take time to build trust. Some thrive on activity and adventure, while others prefer a calm routine and familiar surroundings. When caring for your pet, I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable rather than treating every animal the same way. I pay attention to their body language, habits, energy level, and individual needs so I can provide care that feels familiar, safe, and stress-free. Whether I'm walking your dog, stopping by for a visit, caring for your cat, or house sitting while you're away, my goal is to provide a calm, dependable presence and maintain the routine your pet knows and trusts. For walks, I prioritize safety, use secure leashing practices, stay aware of my surroundings, and adjust the pace and activity level to fit each dog's age, energy level, and comfort. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. During house sitting visits, I'm also happy to help with small household tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping an eye on things while you're away. I believe great pet care is built on patience, consistency, communication, and earning an animal's trust. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment we meet.

About: Hi all! My name is Charlotte and I just graduated from UCSD. I am born and raised in Newport Beach and have a love for dogs and walking around our beautiful home. I have had multiple dogs growing up and have loved taking care of friends dogs recently! I absolutely adore spending time with them and being outside in general. Let me know if you need any assistance, I'd be more than happy to help. I am available almost every week day for walking and available weekends for house sitting! Feel free to send me a message. I'd love to chat and discuss more specifics. I make sure they always have someone around them to hang out with and give them attention, whether that's walks or just keeping them company. I prioritize sticking to their routine and making sure they have plenty of time to go outside, do their business, and get their energy out!

About: Hi, My name is Natalie. I am a gentle & caring caretaker here to help ease your pet's worries while you are away. As a veterinary technician, I've supported scared animals through some of their most vulnerable hours. I'm known for being abundantly patient & gentle. I help pets feel more comfortable, more secure, reassured, & cared for. I pride myself in paying strong attention to details, which is invaluable in veterinary care & will provide an extra level of supervision for your pet should anything seem amiss or unusual when I arrive. Frequent jogging is a health goal of mine, so whether your pet is a tiny puppy looking for attention, a geriatric needing special tender loving care, or a strong young dog begging to get some of its energy out, I really can help you meet your pet's needs. I recently moved to Orange County & I'm excited to add pet care back into my routine in my new stomping ground. Jogging a few times a week is a health goal of mine, so I look forward to helping energetic dogs get out & moving! Sharing my time petting, caring for & keeping company those pets who are just not happy to be left home alone will be a very fulfilling part of my day. Very old, very young, large, small, & anything in between, I'm here for them. I want your pets to feel happier, more comfortable, less anxious & more reassured by having me there to break up the monotony of their day. Some animals just feel sad being alone, others need help getting out to the grass for a potty break. Some dogs just have more energy than they know what to do with & will be healthier, happier, more well behaved animals for you when you get home, if they've had an opportunity to let off some steam during the day. Your pet's health, safety, & well-being is my top priority. I've been extremely fortunate to grow up with a wide variety of pets, from dogs, cats, rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters, birds, quail, frogs, and fish. I understand that pets can feel more like members of the family than animals. I strive to give your pets the same level of care and respect that you would if you could be there in the moment.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies who need extra patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who require a gentler approach and closer attention. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to providing regular updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a dog owner myself, I’m used to providing regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the care, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or extended care, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with regular exercise, supervision, fresh water, meals, and lots of love and enrichment. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and preferences to help them feel happy and stress-free

“Julie is beyond amazing and I am so grateful for her coming to my rescue at the very last minute and taking such great care of my pups! She sent lots of photos during the walks, let them have playtime in the house like I requested, and gave them so much love! It was my first time using Rover and Julie completely changed my perception of the app based on some nightmare stories my friends went through. I had been out of town and had another dog walker flake on me and was panicking about my dogs being stuck at home until the evening. I literally booked and communicated with her using the plane wifi on my flight home. She was fortunately able to come to my dogs as soon as she saw my request come through. I really appreciated her being extra thorough with all 3 of my dogs and being extra detailed with my instructions. She even asked follow up questions to make sure she was giving the right amount of treats and using the right leash for each dog. They can be quite the handful but she was so patient with them and I can’t thank her enough. Highly recommend Julie if you need a worry and stress-free dog walker who will take care of all your needs!”

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.

About: I provide personalized care for every stage of a dog's life, with a particular passion for senior care. I understand the unique needs of senior dogs – from administering medication to offering gentle exercise and tailored comfort to keep them feeling their best. Whether it's managing prescriptions, specialized diets, or simply providing extra attention, I'm here to ensure both you and your pup have peace of mind while you're away. I also bring flexibility to my pet-sitting services, as I work from home. I can provide your dog with playtime, walks, or cuddles while you're busy, ensuring your furry friend has a great time while you're away from home. As someone who works from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I enjoy taking frequent walk and play breaks with the pets, which helps both me and the animals stay active and engaged. These breaks provide an opportunity for quality time, exercise, and bonding, ensuring the pets are happy and well-cared for throughout the day. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or a playful game, I make sure to integrate these moments into my schedule, keeping your pet stimulated and content while I work. In your home, I maintain the same level of care as you provide by respecting your pet’s routine and space. I’ll follow your instructions closely, ensuring their daily habits are kept as normal as possible, from feeding times to play sessions. If your pet has special needs, such as medication or medical care, I’m experienced in handling that with great attention to detail and love. Ultimately, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy.

About: Hi there! My name is Charlene and I’ve had experience taking care of dogs since I was 4 from taking care of my family dog Heidi. More specifically I started taking on more responsibilities in pet care when I turned 8. Taking my dog on daily walks, feeding everyday, and picking up their waste in the backyard after I came home from school. Now that I’ve grown up, I have a cat named Georgie which I have learned to care for the last year I’ve had him. Whether it’s a dog or a cat, I am happy to treat them like you would when you can’t. I am currently working remotely. I live in a very walkable neighborhood, and with a park nearby for walks, giving me quick and easy access to always be available to let your furry friend out. I have experience with all dog sizes, but I prefer to work with medium to small dogs. If boarding in my own home, I have a cat who is fine with dogs. He tends to keep to himself when around dogs and won’t attack. I’m currently working from home so I have a lot of free time in between applications to play with your furbaby all the time. If there are any special requests please let me know! My number one priority is keeping your pet safe like I would care for my own pets. I will always keep my clients updated with details to ease your mind and to make sure you know that your loved pet is in great hands.

About: I’ve lived in Newport Coast for over 32 years, raised three children, and have spent decades caring for dogs as beloved family members. I’ve had three dogs of my own, each with different needs — including a blind dog, a very active dog, and one who experiences anxiety — which has given me a deep appreciation for patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’m a loving, attentive, and reliable caregiver with a calm presence. I enjoy being outdoors and truly value the one-on-one connection that comes from walking and caring for dogs. Available weekdays. Weekend mornings only, before the sun goes down as needed. Please message me to confirm availability — I’m happy to accommodate when possible. For safety and comfort, I provide services exclusively in your home. This includes dog walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I do not offer boarding or care in my home.

About: I am a certified animal communicator and reiki practitioner with over 10 years of experience. However I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. I have experience caring for senior dogs as well as those with vision and hearing impairment. I also volunteer my communication services to animal rescues to help dogs exhibiting puzzling behavior be heard. In addition I work as an animal transporter for several rescues, so I guess you could say I’m a professional canine chauffeur! I have experience working with a wide range of ages and breeds. So be it a pittie puppy, a middle aged pug, or a senior chihuahua, I am comfortable with them all and will ensure your pup feels safe, happy, and secure while you are away. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible which allows me to accommodate your pup’s unique schedule and playtime needs. Whether they are an early bird or a night owl, I’ve got you covered! When caring for your fur baby in the comfort of their own home, I acknowledge that I am the new comer coming into their space. I always take it slow and allow the animal to share what they wish to with me, just as you would with a young child. This establishes a foundation of trust that we can build upon.

About: I’ve cared for animals for many years- whether for friends, family, neighbors, or through volunteering at shelters. It’s always such a joy to meet them, because each one has their own unique personality. I’m a registered nurse looking for a fulfilling side opportunity where I can continue helping others in my community. I love being outdoors, staying active, and it would truly be an honor to care for and spend time with your fur baby. I work as a contract nurse, so I create and manage my own schedule. I’m super flexible and able to accommodate my clients needs accordingly. I have a 10 year old dog I got when I was 19 years old and he’s been my side kick for many years. I’m looking to dog walk, since I unfortunately don’t have a yard at the moment but know a lot of resourceful trails that are dog friendly. I have a safe and reliable SUV if you ever needed me to drive your pet somewhere for our time together.

About: I am a super animal nerd whose feed is covered with animals. I love all different kinds of animals that some people might be scared of. I had all kinds of pets throughout my life, and they lived longer than their life span. I’ve cared for all my family/friends’ dogs since I was little. I’ve been taking care of my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind, for a month every year since they could only trust me. I can play and cuddle with them the entire day since I am always home and go out only for exercise. I am the best dog walker since I love running, hiking, and walking near the area, as we have so many good places to do so:) I work from home and barely go out because I am homebody and love cuddling and playing with animals entire day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home, so a fur baby who is aggressive towards cats cannot stay at my place. They are all fully vaccinated including rabies, and shy but sweet. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:)

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and educator with a flexible schedule on weekends, holidays, and during the summer. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I love providing them with personalized attention, plenty of affection, and a safe, caring environment while you’re away. I have open availability on weekends and holidays, and my schedule is very flexible throughout the summer. I also welcome last-minute booking requests whenever my availability allows. Whether your pup needs a potty break, playtime, feeding, a walk, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to provide personalized care based on their unique routine and needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. For all first-time walk and drop-in bookings, a meet and greet is required to ensure we’re a great match and that your pup feels comfortable with me before services begin. For everyone’s safety, I only accept dogs that are current on their vaccinations.

About: I have had pets since I was 5, both cats and dogs. I’ve house sat many times for cat and dog households. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets. I used to walk on rover quite a bit but have taken a few years off. Looking to build up more clients now that I have time! I’m currently a substitute teacher and dog mom! I have a flexible schedule as a substitute and dedicate my time outside of that to exercise and pet care! I am very good with working with whatever is best for your pets, so if they need to be crated, or have special instructions I do well with all kinds.

“Sophia was super flexible and responsive. She took great photos and even helped with additional tasks like feeding the dogs. Thank you Sophia!”

About: Hello! And welcome to my page! I go by CeCe! I am grown and raised in beautiful sunny Santa Barbara! I now reside in the lovely sunny Orange County! I’ve been around animals all my life. From my mom having the best border collie when I was a baby, to us having two cats, a bunny, and at least one parakeet in an apartment that i grew up in during most of my childhood to teen years. It was even my dream to get a job working at my local zoo as an actor, which eventually came true. All so I could be surrounded by animals, and say I worked with Dinosaurs too (I even acted with them)! When I moved out of my childhood home I unfortunately could only find affordable places to live that didn’t allow animals. That’s how I got into dog sitting! I loved being around animals and helping others take care of their fluffy family members. I now live with my significant other whose family cat is king of the house. I still enjoy walking dogs and house sitting. I do, unfortunately, work a 9 to 5 office job Monday to Friday (actually 8 to 4) to pay the bills. Because of this my rates reflect that. I wish I could pet sit all the time but for now this is my second job. I will treat your house as my own with a cleanly manner. I have my own form of transportation in the form of a vehicle with four wheels so any adventurous pups I am able to accommodate! I work an 8hr office job Monday to Friday. Sometimes a Saturday or Sunday if I happened to miss a day during the week due to life. It is adjustable and willing to accommodate with enough prior notice. Any lunch drop ins will need to be discussed. Because of previous experiences drop ins will need to be agreed upon by both parties and throughly planned. I am uncomfortable with cameras inside the home that are not made aware of during meet and greet. I am okay with cameras outside the home and understand the safety concerns of having them. I do not abide by using them to track movements of caregivers. I have an office job Monday to Friday, sometimes I have to make up hours on a weekend day because of other adult responsibilities during the week coinciding with other adult responsibilities such as work. I typically work 8hrs with a lunch break that can be up to an hour. I also have a partner and a home to help run. I have errands to take care of after work and on days off, like weekends. That being said I will do everything in my power to put your pet first, but I will not ignore my health.
