Dog Walking Newport Coast

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 have had pets for my entire life (and that's a long time). I have been fostering puppies/dogs and kittens/cats for the last several years. I am now a newly empty nest Mom with a very quiet house. In all my years having family pets, like you are now, I always found a private sitter to care for my animals while I was away. I believe pets are not meant to be boarded if it can be avoided. I am a newly empty nest, stay at home Mom with lots of time, energy and space to care for puppies/dogs and kittens/cats. We have a large, two story home with a fully fenced back yard and side pet door that leads to a fully enclosed run. While in my care your pet(s) will be cared for with love, kindness and consistency from your home to ours. A seamless "vacation" at home.

About: Hello! My name is Ella and I’m an animal lover and graduate student in Irvine. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets! I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, including my own cats since childhood. I currently have two cats that I adopted two years ago. I have extensive experience with cats, including senior kitties who need medication and extra support. While I specialize in cat care, I have also cared for many dogs as a pet sitter since middle school. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule and can check on your pet frequently. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I’m reliable and detail oriented, and will make sure to follow care instructions precisely. I will keep your home safe and clean for your pets while you are away.

About: I’m Caroline, a 30-year-old dog lover with nearly two decades of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I aim to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I adapt easily to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog has a simple routine or a more involved one—including exercise, feeding, medications, or other specialized care—I’m happy to follow all instructions exactly as provided. I’m comfortable with walks, exercise, brushing, feeding, cleaning up after pets, reinforcing basic training, and caring for dogs who need extra attention or structure. I understand how much trust it takes to leave both your dog and your home in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I currently have a flexible routine and will be starting a graduate program this fall in Counseling Psychology that meets three consecutive days per month. I expect to be able to comfortably balance my studies and pet care within my schedule. I provide care in client homes and follow all instructions carefully to maintain each pet’s normal routine. I pay close attention to feeding, exercise, medications, and any special care requirements to ensure consistency and comfort for the pet. I also treat every home with respect, keeping things clean and tidy during and after each visit.

“Amanda is amazing. She has a calm energy that is excellent for dogs. She immediately gained the trust both of my dogs that she was walking that never trust strangers. She is responsible and extremely professional. I have never trusted anyone outside of my family with my dogs until I met Amanda.”

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

“Rachel is wonderful - we highly recommend! We booked walking services by Rachel and will continue to, as she has a great demeanor; calm and relaxed yet assertive and warm. She’s knowledgeable and sends great, detailed updates and uses the Rover card each time. We’ll definitely be booking her services again!”

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: 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: I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us. I work from home and barely go out because I am a homebody who loves cuddling and playing with animals all 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 who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. 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:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉

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: I'm a dedicated and compassionate caregiver who treats every pet with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. For fourteen years, I raised my beloved Golden Retriever, who taught me the value of loyalty and unconditional love. I had the opportunity to care for a gentle Italian Mastiff, which gave me valuable experience with a large breed and deepened my understanding of different temperaments and needs. Today, I share my life with Gia, an 8-year-old Golden/Pyrenees mix. She is exceptionally well trained and a devoted companion. She brings joy not only to me but also to the many people who stop to greet her wherever we go. I had the privilege of caring for Romeo, a sweet and loving Boston Terrier, during the last three years of his life. Throughout his battle with cancer, I administered his medications, took him to veterinary appointments, supported him through surgery and recovery, and closely monitored his health. I adjusted my home and daily routine to provide him with the comfort, care, and support he needed. Romeo's journey reinforced my commitment to providing every animal with love and compassionate throughout every stage of life. I value building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. You can expect consistent communication, regular updates, photos, and attentive care throughout every visit or stay. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. For me, caring for animals is more than a service-it's something I truly love. Thank you and I look look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a l flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekends. I strive to accommodate each client's needs and provide reliable, consistent care. I am happy to care for dogs in my home or in yours, depending on what best meets your needs. I take time to learn each dog's routine and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we'll create a plan that works best for both you and your animal.

“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!”

After recently relocating to Newport Coast, I’m excited to welcome local pups into my home again alongside my sweet terrier, Sophie. Before relocating, I earned 33 five-star Rover reviews caring for dogs in San Francisco, with clients consistently praising my communication, photo updates, and the love and attention their pups received. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including Saint Bernards, Labrador Retrievers, Pit Bulls, Terriers, Maltese, puppies, and senior dogs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply curling up on the couch, I’ll tailor their stay to their personality and routine. Sophie is friendly, well-mannered, and enjoys having canine visitors. We live in a quiet Newport Coast community with beautiful walking trails and open grassy spaces, making it the perfect place for daily walks and outdoor time.

I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend!

If your pup is comfortable with this schedule, I’d love to welcome them into our home. We live in a quiet, well-maintained Newport Coast community with beautiful walking trails, open grassy areas, and a spacious balcony where pups can relax, sunbathe, and enjoy the fresh air!

About: I bring nearly 10 years of experience caring for homes and pets, from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Bernese Mountain Dogs.

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.
