Dog Walking Northwood

“Summer was amazing! Summer, walked my dog for an hour each day over the course of a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention provided. Summer was communicative, and treated my dog with genuine kindness. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos—great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”

“Ryan was great with my dog! He was very kind, accommodating, and communicated really well throughout everything. He was punctual and He also accepted my booking on short notice, which I really appreciated. My dog liked him right away and came back happy and tired. Would definitely book with Ryan again!”

“Maggie was amazing! Always on time (or even earlier) and was so great with my dog! She took our request on a super last minute booking and was truly a saving grace. She even brought little treats for my dog and kept me updated with pictures, videos, and little summaries of the walk after each one! Such a sweet and reliable person. Definitely recommend! Will be booking again soon(:”

“Cie has been so gracious and helpful with my schedule and changes due to medical issues. Thank you for your understanding and always being so loving with Lucy!!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for over 15 years and understand that every dog has their own personality and routine. As a dog owner myself, I treat every pet like family and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or a drop-in visit, I’ll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also believe great communication is important, so you’ll always receive updates and photos after every visit. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m available during mornings, lunch breaks, afternoons, and many evenings, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine. I’m dependable, punctual, and committed to showing up when you need me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions to keep your dog’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of your home, and treat every pet with the same love and care I’d want for my own. My goal is for you to feel completely confident knowing your dog is in responsible, caring hands.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I combine responsibility with genuine attentiveness to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. With puppies, I pay great attention to how they feel and I’m very patient at caring for them. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to mobility needs, medication schedules, slower walking pace, and comfort routines. I pay close attention to subtle behavior changes that may indicate discomfort. I’m also detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, allergies, and household rules. Clean water, safe environments, and secure walks are always my priority. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique temperament. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of interaction throughout the day instead of leaving dogs alone for long periods. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each dog’s needs — whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding at specific times, or sticking closely to an established routine. Being home also allows me to monitor behavior closely and respond quickly if anything seems off. Because pet care would be a dedicated part of my day, I’m able to give dogs my full attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for rather than just accommodated. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I remove potential hazards, keep doors and gates secured, and ensure all food and small objects are out of reach. Dogs have a comfortable resting area, constant access to fresh water, and structured playtime. I supervise interactions at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, house rules, and preferred routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure security. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will immediately communicate any concerns. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I understand that trust is everything when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and responsibility.

“Liv and her mom were great. We had to add extra walks and feedings and they were happy to help. We came home to a happy puppy who was well cared for. We will definitely be using their services again.”

“We had a great experience with Holly this week! Holly was very punctual and courteous, and our dog Juju was excited to see her! I appreciated her updating me during Juju’s walks.”

About: I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses. I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements. I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!

About: I specialize in cat drop in visits and understand that pets thrive on routine, calm handling, and trusted care in their own home.

Depending on extent of need I may be able to do weekends as well. I do have a full time remote job as well. I’m doing this in part because I enjoy caring for animals, and also to help cover some recent vet costs! Your Pet’s Safety Is My Priority! I focus on pet safety and comfort above all else. I am able to tailor my service according to the needs of you and your pet. Your Privacy: I understand the need for privacy and care when it comes to your home.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter with 2 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments.

I’m experienced with feeding routines, walks, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and providing lots of playtime and affection. I’m also attentive to details — whether it’s monitoring behavior changes, maintaining clean spaces, or following specific instructions from pet parents. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll treat them as if they were my own, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. • Comfortable with puppies & senior pets • Experience with shy or anxious dogs • Basic training reinforcement (sit, stay, leash manners) • Flexible schedule • Non-smoker I’m available Monday through Friday from 11am to 9pm, except on Wednesdays when I’m available from 1pm to 7pm.

“He proactively asked to meet before the walk to meet my dog Lucy and I, and to see where things in the house would be kept such as the leash, dog bags, etc. He wrote personalized summaries of their walks, filled the water bowl and left the light on as asked. Excellent dog walker with a lot of dog experience pre-dating Rover.”

About: I have been a pet owner since I was a little kid. On top of caring for my own kitty I enjoy helping friends and family in watching their pets when away for a few days or longer trips. I am more familiar with cat care, but I am always learning new tips for cats and dogs. I enjoy taking walks and having a companion by my side makes the journey more exciting! I have recently moved to a new area and have a very flexible schedule. I have lots of time to explore and meet new furry friends! Weekdays and overnight stays are perfect for my schedule. My cat loves to roam and sit by the window to watch the birds, and she has many sleeping spots. I have a balcony she likes to sit at and enjoy the fresh air, like myself.

“Erica is absolutely a gem with my dog Parasy. I appreciate her patience with me as a millennial helicopter dog mom :), her open communication, and her flexibility. Parasy is taking to her so fast.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities — from energetic puppies who need playtime and structure, to senior pets who deserve gentle patience and extra care. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort zone, so I always take the time to learn their quirks, signals, and favorite things. Whether it’s early morning walks, medication reminders, or snuggle sessions on the couch, I treat every furry friend like my own. Safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. What sets me apart is my attentive communication and genuine love for animals — I send regular photo updates, follow owner instructions carefully, and make sure each pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. If your pet needs special care (puppy training, senior support, or daily medication), I have hands-on experience and will ensure they get personalized attention. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day — whether it’s quick potty breaks, playtime in the yard, or cozy naps together. Evenings are for longer walks, cuddles, and winding down before bedtime. On weekends, I love taking dogs on local trail walks or to pet-friendly parks for some extra fun and stimulation. Every day, I make sure your pet feels cared for, safe, and loved — just like they would at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces for play and rest. I keep food, cleaning supplies, and other items safely out of reach, and ensure constant supervision during playtime or outdoor breaks. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I always respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding routines and walking routes to any special care details. I take extra steps to keep doors and gates secure, and I never bring unfamiliar pets without your approval. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are key. You’ll always receive photo or video updates so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every stay or visit feel safe, familiar, and full of love — just like home.

About: I cared for my two Chihuahuas for over 17 years, from when they were babies to their senior years. In 2022, we said goodbye and sent them to Rainbow Bridge. Since then, I have been a dog sitter for my friends, caring for their babies with the same love and dedication, while prioritizing safety and careful supervision at all times. I also completed a Veterinary Assistant program, which helps me better understand senior care and medication support. To ensure a calm and comfortable environment, I only care for one dog at a time unless they are from the same household. I stay home full time and try to minimize alone time as much as possible. I understand that being away from family can feel stressful for some dogs, and I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and loved. I stay with dogs overnight so they don't feel alone. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel reassured while you are away. We live in a house with a patio in a quiet neighborhood. I take them for walks around the neighborhood several times a day and always make sure they are wearing secure leashes. Our home environment is calm and structured to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. My husband and two teenage sons also love dogs and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful with them.

“Genevieve was great! She is super nice and showed up right on time. Our dog made her walk far and was being difficult but she handled it with ease. Will definitely book her in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m youhua I’m someone who puts patience and care into every moment I spend with pets. For the past five years, I’ve often helped my friends look after their dogs and cats, so I’m very familiar with their routines, habits, and body language — I can easily tell when they’re hungry, anxious, or just want some love and playtime. I always arrive on time for every service, make sure each walk is safe and enjoyable, provide fresh water and clean-ups, and send plenty of photo and video updates so you can feel at ease even when you’re away. I live in the Northwood community in Irvine, surrounded by several beautiful parks that are perfect for daily walks. I have a gentle personality and a calm energy that helps soothe nervous pets, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s schedule. I look forward to becoming a trusted temporary family member for you and your beloved furry friend. 🐾 I am usually at home. I go to the gym for an hour each time, and the rest of the time I am basically at home. I think I have a lot of time to take care of the dog. I have a fenced garden and I believe they will be safe in it. I also like to drink coffee in the sun in the garden, and I can play with them.

About: I am so excited to rejoin Rover after a brief hiatus to focus on my education! I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! After growing up with my family dog of 17 years, I’ve always been drawn to caring for animals. Through my childhood, I owned dogs, horses, and rabbits and I adopted a Puggle named Rocco in March of 2023. I’ve had experience caring for pets owned by family and friends for the past 8years. I am comfortable feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and administering medication to dogs of all ages and breeds. I am also happy to help reinforce desired behaviors for dogs in training and have experience caring for reactive pups. I WFH full time so my schedule is fairly open! I see a caseload of clients as a therapist so my schedule looks different every week. If you would like to lock in a weekly time slot for walks, I can do my best to accommodate for that. I ensure that my schedule will always be updated! I promise to treat both your fur baby and your home with the upmost respect. I have a quick response time and I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I will make sure to closely follow your dog’s schedule and provide them with the proper care they need. You will receive regular updates and photos of pet while they are in my care. Overall, I want to create a safe and loving environment for your pet and build a bond with them so you can feel relaxed while you’re away!
