Dog Walking Portola Hills

“Rachel was great with my senior dog who needed a walk while I was gone for an extended time. She was very flexible on feeding him and took him on a nice long walk. Overall she was great!”

“Erika went above and beyond from day one. I had just rescued a very nervous dog and contacted her in panic — she responded immediately and came the same day to help. She took the time to sit with my dog multiple times so he could get comfortable, and her patience, warmth, and communication have been amazing. I’ve now hired her permanently and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”

About: I have 8+ years of pet sitting experience, in addition to caring for my dachshund from ages 2 to 14. Since her passing last year, we have a pet-free home and backyard suitable for hosting dogs and cats and a lot of love and attention to give. Our dog was also VERY food motivated and would try to eat anything vaguely edible in the house. Because of this, we are still in the habit of keeping all foods out of pet-reach, including in the kitchen, purses/bags, and trash cans. I am currently job-seeking, which can be done from any location and allows me to have a completely flexible schedule, all days and hours of the week. I have a 2 story pet-free home with a fenced in backyard with grass. We have dog beds, dog stairs for the couch, and a small crate available. I only host 1 client at a time in my home (1 or 2 dogs from the same household). This means your pets will get my full attention, and there won’t be any issues with reactive dogs.

“Thank you so much for the nice walk with the boys. I'm glad they behaved for you. They're looking forward to the next time they see you. Thank you again.”

I am available full time for dog walking/dog and cat boarding. Flexible schedule for your needs. I love exercise so I want the same for your sweet dogs. I have a fenced yard to keep pets safe.

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over many years, including birds, cats, dogs, fish and others. I’m also the go-to caregiver for my son’s animals whenever needed. Friends know me as a dedicated animal lover and often reach out for help or advice in different pet and wildlife situations. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals in need and have rescued and cared for crows, hummingbirds, sparrows, finches and other wildlife over the years. I'm semi-retired and do volunteer work on Mondays. The rest of the week is fairly open so I can be flexible with your requirements. Typically, I stop by in the morning and then again in the late afternoon or evening depending on your preference. I believe pet care should involve more than simply feeding and leaving. I take time to make cats feel comfortable, cared for, and less lonely while their owners are away. During visits, I greet and talk to the cat, refresh water with clean bowls, provide meals according to instructions, and spend quality time doing whatever the cat enjoys most — whether that’s playing, brushing, petting, or simply sitting quietly nearby. I also check and clean the litter box as needed. Visits are typically about 30 minutes or longer, depending on the cat’s personality and level of interaction. Some cats enjoy active attention, while others simply appreciate a calm, reassuring presence. At times, I’ll sit and read quietly so they feel relaxed and accompanied. For evening visits, I can turn on small lights (or follow any specific household instructions) and turn them off during morning visits. Before leaving, I tidy up toys, make sure feeding areas are clean, return everything to its original place, and ensure the home is secure and locked. I also like to send occasional photos or updates so owners can see that their pets are safe, happy, and doing well.

“Brady absolutely loves his walks with Jay! He looks so happy when he gets picked up, his tail wags away as they go for walks. My pooch is a "hard walker", he pulls & and at times he has reactivity issues towards other dogs, but Jay seems to know how to handle him. They definitely have a connection! Jay also has an easy going personality & he's been trust worthy regarding the schedule. Super happy to have discovered Jay as Brady's dog walker!🐾😊”

About: I am retired as of a few years ago, and we just lost our Bailey girl at 14 years old a few years back. I haven’t adopted a new dog since and instead am taking care of our kids dogs when they go out of town but do miss having a dog around. I’ve cared for about 6 dogs over my lifetime, and would love to care for your pup too. We have a huge yard that is fenced in for them to go out and play and a large neighborhood great for walks. A few of the dogs I have taken care, love to run in our backyard because there is room for them to run. Since I’m retired I have plenty of free time to take care of and play with pups. I love dogs and enjoy interacting with them. I want them to be happy and safe. I have a large, fully fenced in backyard and a separate fenced in side yard both of which can be closed and keep the dog inside. I also welcome any crates if a dog feels more comfortable in a crate at night. If a dog is well behaved at night, they could also bring a bed and sleep next to our bed.

About: I’ve grown up with animals in my house my whole life and would always step up for a friend or neighbor to take care of their fur babies while they’re away!! I’m working part time however have very flexible hours in order to spend quality time and care with all your furry companions! I’m available mornings and Afternoons 7 days a week. I will always make sure to treat your homes and fur babies with the utmost respect and care, making sure everyone is safe, having fun, and all needs are being met!

“First time using Josh & it was great! He is punctual and gave a very detailed summary of his visit. Would definitely recommend him to anyone!!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was five years old, so caring for animals has always been part of my life. I currently have one friendly dog and two cats, and I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and understanding different pet personalities. I truly enjoy caring for pets and making sure they feel safe and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home often and already spend my day feeding, walking, playing, and spending quality time with my own pets. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My young daughter also loves dogs and is gentle and respectful around them. I am available on weekdays and weekends. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly with a secure fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. My dog is friendly and well-socialized with other dogs, and I always introduce pets slowly and carefully. I closely follow feeding instructions, routines, and any special care needs. I understand pets are family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own.

“Pili was amazing. Reliable, dependable, and took great care of my dog. Willing to go the extra mile if needed.”

About: I have had pets, all of my life, from guinea pigs to cats, and dogs. I have a true passion for animals and love all of them like they're my own. Since I was a child I have truly had a love for animals and thoroughly enjoy taking care of them. I will treat your furry friend like part of the family, not just the family pet. I will love your pet and treat him/her with a tremendous amount of care. I will take him for long walks, or go to the park. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone you can trust to give your pet the care that he needs, and I can assure you, he will get plenty of TLC! I am available all day on weekends and weekday evenings.

About: Hi there! I bring years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs, including my own husky and several senior dogs requiring medical support and veterinary visits. Pet care isn't just about completing a checklist to me. It's about knowing the animal. Some dogs want to run until they're worn out. Some want to stay close to you. Some need medication at a very specific time. I try to understand those differences before I ever begin caring for a pet. Throughout my life I've owned and loved five dogs. I understand the importance of treating every pet like family and providing care that matches their normal routine. Beyond pet care, I've also been trusted to look after luxury homes throughout Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years I managed weekly household needs while coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and other vendors. Whether it's keeping up with energetic dogs, providing extra care for senior pets, or making sure your home remains secure while you're away, you can count on me to handle everything with reliability and professionalism. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 1-2 times a day, so staying active is already part of my routine. At home, I also care for two cats, so I’m comfortable balancing different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust quickly—even the shyest cats seem to warm up to me. I provide a safe, caring, and consistent environment where pets feel secure and loved.

About: I’ve had a dog since age 10 (now a sweet old boy!) and have fostered puppies! From shy and snuggly to playful and curious - I’ve met them all! Student at UH studying botany in my last year! Pretty flexible and looking to spend time with the pups of the island - originally from California with a good boy at home - I’m looking to cure some homesickness with your doggy! At home, my dog enjoys a fenced yard with plenty of sunshine for his sunning and naps with my cat (supervised of course) and both animals have free reign of the house. In your home all rules placed for your pets will be respected and any accidents cleaned before you can say “woof”!
