Dog Walking Northwood

“Thank you Robert for an amazing job at walking our puppy! He was extremely punctual and very aware of the care details we wrote for our puppy! Can’t wait to use him again.”

Mindy & Noah M.

About: I’ve been caring for my own Schnauzer for 5 years, since he was 3 months old. When he was a puppy, he had canine coronavirus, and I personally cared for him throughout his recovery, including taking him to the vet for treatment and making sure he received his medications on schedule. I’m also very active with my dog and take him on two walks every day, usually over an hour each time. I have experience with basic dog training as well, and my dog knows commands such as sit, paw, down, and wait. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets receive plenty of exercise, care, and attention. I’m currently a part-time student, so I have plenty of availability during weekday daytime hours. I’m also occasionally available on weekends and can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs and my class schedule. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’m attentive to pets’ routines, feeding schedules, and behavior, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and doing well.

About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I've taken care of many of my friends' and family's dogs, including overnight house sitting, daily walks, and trips to the dog park. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and ages—from young, energetic dogs that need extra attention to older dogs that require a little more patience and care. One of my special skills is keeping active dogs engaged and exercised. I love running, so I'm happy to give energetic dogs plenty of exercise and playtime so they can come home happy, relaxed, and ready for a nap. I also understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, and I take the time to care for each one accordingly. I currently have a flexible schedule because I am looking for work, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! When caring for pets, I am very attentive and make sure they are my first priority. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and well cared for while you're away!

About: I specialize in cat drop in visits and understand that pets thrive on routine, calm handling, and trusted care in their own home. My approach is observant, patient, and detail-oriented, especially for shy, senior, or medically managed pets! During each visit, I make sure your pet is comfortable, their space stays clean, and their normal routine is respected. I’m attentive to subtle behavior changes, potty/litter box habits, appetite, and overall demeanor, and I’ll let you know right away if something seems off. I provide thorough rover updates with photos, notes on eating, litter box use, and mood, so you can travel with confidence knowing your pet is well cared for. I’m happy to support: -single or multi-pet households -timed feedings and special instructions -oral medication and supplements -senior or shy pets who need a gentle presence If you’re looking for a reliable, low-stress, pet-savvy-sitter, I’d love to set up a meet & greet! About me: Attentive sitter providing detailed updates, medication support, and calm care for anxious pets! Schedule Flexibly With Me! I work from home and am able to be mobile for my job. Ideally, I’m popping in to your home to provide check in services, play, and attend to any other needs (food, water refresh, walking). 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. I have no issue with remaining in designated areas or with cameras around common spaces. I will accommodate your comfort.

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 will always love to take care of any animal that needs caring. I’ve always had a passion for animals and have had many pets of my own to take care of. I know the responsibilities that come with dogs whether it be the simple things like taking them out to play or things like giving them their medication, grooming, or just making sure they get some attention. I have had plenty of years of training with my own pets (dogs and rabbits). I truly love to take care of animals and would take excellent care of your furry friend if the opportunity arises!! I’m currently on summer break so super flexible with time, I usually take my own dog on runs with me throughout the week as well as on hikes or to the beach. I am more than willing to come over and give your pet some time outside or whatever is more accommodating to you and your pet’s needs. I would love to play with your pups, board them, take them out, feed them, or any of the sorts! I always like to make sure my animals are more than taken care of and try to give them what they need whether it be physically or emotionally. I am a caretaker as well as companion for any dog. I always make sure my dog has water and food available to him as well as making sure he has access to the bathroom. I love playing, throwing the ball, or any other activity that will keep your pet entertained.

“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: As a professional dog-lover, I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including volunteering at local shelters, watching over the neighbours puppies, and taking care of my very own puppy! I am comfortable and prepared to follow strict dietary rules, giving oral medication, providing active daily exercise, and most importantly, lots of love and attention. My client will receive daily photo updates and peace of mind while they are away. I fit dog care easily into my daily routine even as a college student balancing multiple rigorous courses. I only have 9 A.M. - 11 A.M. classes, so my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are free to focus on your pup. Before I head to school, I start my mornings with fresh food and a quick potty break. Once my classes end around 11, the rest of my day is dedicated to long walks, fun playtime, and keeping my clients dog company and happy. When I visit my clients home, my main goal is to keep your dog safe and follow their given routine. I will start by letting them out for a bathroom break, checking their water bowl, and feeding them on schedule. Then, we head out for a fun walk around the neighbourhood. I make sure the house is secure, locked up properly, and send my clients a quick photo update so they know everything went great.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with two pups of my own, so I know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your best friend. My journey into pet care actually started when I was just 12 — a neighbor asked me to look after their dog for two weeks, and I was hooked from day one. Since then, caring for dogs has been a genuine passion, not just a job. I understand that every dog has their own personality, quirks, and needs, and I treat every pup in my care like family. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or just extra cuddles, I’m committed to making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’d love to help take care of your furry family member — feel free to reach out with any questions! My schedule is very flexible as I recently got laid off from the tech world. I have my own dogs but I can manage if needed. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family — because with two pups of my own at home, I know how important routine, comfort, and attention are. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine, feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and habits, so there’s as little disruption to their day as possible. I’ve been dog sitting since I was 12 years old, so I’ve learned that consistency, patience, and genuine love for animals make all the difference in keeping pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away.

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.

About: I have experience taking care of pets for family friends, doing similar work as listed here. Such as, going over to feed and walk the pets, having pets over to take care of them, and cleaning up after the pets. Apart from that, I am currently volunteering at a local hospital where I take care of patients alongside the nurses and ensure no one is uncomfortable or injured during their stay. As of now, I am not working any other jobs so every day excluding Friday is open for potential pet caring jobs. Although I am currently looking for part time work and the schedules may change sooner or later. Currently my house is full and makes it difficult to board pets in my house, however, I am more than willing to care for pets in clients houses. Outside of specific instructions or requests, I can ensure the pet will be given all the care it needs as well as adequate space so they aren’t stressed while they are under my care.

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.

“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!”

About: I grew up with two dogs and provided the usual daily care for them such as walking, feeding, and cuddling. I am comfortable and used to being around animals and taking care of them. I’m currently a freelance photographer starting my own small rosary business and I have a good amount of free time on my hands to care for your pets. I’m usually available from 11 am until 3 pm and unavailable on Sundays. We have an open backyard and a nice, calm neighborhood to go on walks. Additionally there is a beautiful trail to the side of our home with parks and a tree lined/nature trail. Many people can be found walking their dogs, especially towards the end of the day.

“Jackie was great! She was very diligent, professional and nice. Our two pups loved her (especially our poodle Winston). Would definitely recommend her to anyone”

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 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.

“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: Hi I’m Charina. I have been pet sitting for 7 years and am looking to start my own pet care business so I can go back to school to pursue Architecture. I don’t have a dog of my own but have been fortunate to care for my boyfriend’s Australian shepard, Sophie. She was the first pup I ever lived with and am blessed to have experienced the magic that pups bring every second of the day. I will look after your beloved pups as if they’re my own. They’ll love the long walks I take with them, cuddling and great ear/belly rubs. My aim is to make your fur baby feel loved and appreciated. Also Love kitties too. All fur babies are welcome. Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you and your little angel.
