“Ariana has been an absolute blessing for our dog, Sonya! She’s reliable, caring, and treats Sonya like her own. Every walk is filled with patience, attention, and genuine love—you can tell Sonya is always happy and well-exercised when she gets home. Ariana also communicates so well, keeping us updated and making us feel at ease knowing Sonya is in such good hands. We’re so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful dog walker!”

“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: My family loves having animals in our home, I have always owned a dog. My beloved childhood dog Teddy that lived to be 18 years old.. now I have a six year old seventy five pound sheepadoodle who is a big loving ball of fluff. We often watch family animals when they need help. I am also an avid walker and walk my dog 4 miles a day so your dog would definitely get adequate exercise. We have always been a dog loving family and love having them in our home. I am currently a stay at home mom so I am home the majority of the day. Your pet will get all of the love and attention. I go for a four mile walk every morning with my dog and 1.5 year old, so I would take your dog too unless otherwise specified. I have full availability unless we are out of town. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I go for multiple walks a day and have no problem walking two dogs. If your dog needs a crate I can crate them as well as long as you bring their belongings. With that said your dog must be good with other dogs as well as small children, it is a non negotiable. I have 1.5 and 4 year old kids which means you must know for sure that your dog is comfortable around small children.
About: Animals love me and I love them. I have used Rover a few times so I can get away and have someone watch my two dogs, cat, and rabbit, and I am confident I can care for your pets better than most. I work from home in case you want boarding, but I’m also flexible and can visit your pets often or stay with them. If your dogs need boarding, I have an extra bedroom to place my cat and free roaming rabbit. I am huge on walking dogs daily and they can sleep in the bed with me. I work for myself, completely remote, so my schedule is very flexible. I do not like to leave my animals alone for more than an hour so they will always have someone with them. I have a small fenced yard and it will only use it early in the morning to let the dogs go pee before we embark on our long walk. I’ve always had cats and mine is very particular about having his litter box cleaned twice a day so I will do the same for yours. I also have a rabbit and used to have guinea pigs and hamsters. I love taking care of birds, but I do not have any.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up surrounded by them, so caring for pets feels completely natural to me. For over 14 years, I’ve been directly involved in training, caring for, and helping dogs and cats with all their needs — from feeding and exercise to behavior and emotional comfort. I’ve also spent years helping stray and rescue dogs, giving them love, patience, and a safe place to heal. I’m gentle, responsible, and follow every routine carefully to make sure each pet feels happy, safe, and truly cared for. Whether it’s walking, playtime, or just quiet cuddles, I always give them my full attention and heart. Caring for pets is naturally part of my everyday life. I enjoy starting my mornings with feeding, walking, and spending time with animals. During the day, I plan my schedule around their needs — making sure they get enough playtime, fresh food and water, and clean litter boxes. Taking care of pets isn’t just a job for me; it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day. In my client’s home, I always follow their specific instructions and keep the pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean spaces, and plenty of affection and attention. I maintain a calm, tidy environment and send regular updates or photos to help owners feel connected and reassured while they’re awa
“Lydia has been the absolute best! I have had a lot of last minute conflicts, and she’s been a life saver every time. My little puppy always seems so content when I come home, so I know she’s taking great care of her! She’s been so trustworthy. She’s awesome, highly recommend Lydia!”

About: I’ve always grown up with big dogs, so caring for them feels second nature. Right now, I share life with a Mastiff, but I also grew up with an Australian Cattle Dog and an Australian Shepherd—so I know all about energy, training needs, and personality quirks! I’ve also helped watch dogs for neighbors over the years, so I’m comfortable making pups feel safe and loved while their people are away. I’m a full-time college student at a local community college. My mornings are free until 12 PM, and I’m also available most evenings after 6 PM. On weekends, I work part-time, but still make time for walks and pet care when possible. I walk my own dog every morning, so I’m already in a routine and comfortable fitting pet care into my day. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their routine—feeding times, walks, and play—so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. From morning walks and belly rubs to cozy evening snuggles, I make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. With experience caring for big dogs and energetic breeds, I’m confident handling different personalities and needs. My goal is always to give your pup the love and consistency they deserve so you can have peace of mind. 🐾❤️
“We feel so fortunate to have found Aarthi to walk our dogs. At her first visit, our dogs instantly LOVED her and almost wouldn't leave her side. Her communication is great, always on time, our pups are supper happy when I get home, what else could you ask for? She's the best!”

About: We've had dogs almost all of our lives and because of our extraordinary care our last 3 dogs lived almost 18 years each. What a blessing they all were. The last one recently passed. We have experience with both puppies and senior dogs and are not afraid of dealing with their special issues. We understand, we all have special issues at times. We are looking forward to caring for your doggies, as well as you would care for them. My husband and I both work from home. We are free most of the day to care for your doggies. They will enjoy being with us and we will enjoy them. We live in a pet friendly suburban community with a doggie run and we have a large park across the street. We always walk our dogs on a leash and are careful when being around other dogs or children during our walks.
About: My name is Donna (but I also go by Debbie). I am a retired grandma who has always had a big heart for animals. I've grown up caring and loving countless pets and they have become such a special part of my family through the years. I am also the proud grandma of 3 grandpups. After we had to put down my sweet boy, Toby, a few years ago, I could not bring myself to get another dog. It is simply too hard when it's time to say goodbye. But I still feel a longing to be surrounded by pets and being able to care for other people's animals has been the perfect way to help fill that paw-print shaped hole in my heart. I am retired and I'm available most days and nights. I would love to have a little buddy to hang out with and love on. I have a back yard with a pool and we have two parks in our neighborhood. I love to take dogs on walks around our neighborhood, play fetch, tug-a-war, and just loving on sweet pets.

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 pups requiring medical support and vet visits. Over my lifetime, I’ve owned and loved five dogs, and I understand the importance of treating every pet like family. Beyond pet care, I’ve been entrusted to look after luxury homes in Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over two years, I managed weekly household needs to coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and more. I’ve cared for estates valued at $1-10 million, always leaving them spotless and secure. Whether it’s keeping up with energetic huskies, tending to senior dogs with extra care, or making sure your home is in perfect order, you can count on me to handle it all with reliability and professionalism. Rest assured I’ve got you (and your pets) covered. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 2-3 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.
