Dog Walking in Portola Park, Santa Ana, CA

“Andrew has been wonderful to connect and work with since day 1. He communicates well, reaches out ahead of time and also takes the initiative with all bookings. Yuna can sometimes be a reactive dog especially around strangers, and Andrew has only been patient throughout the entire process. We’re grateful to have his support!”

“Yolanda was so good to Archie and Millie! She was communicative and sent pictures. She went above and beyond. They seemed very calm and happy in her presence. We've already booked for more walks. 🐶”

“Lauren does a great job walking Lobo and he absolutely adores her!”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life — caring for dogs and cats has always been second nature to me. At home, I have two rescued cats (ages 10 and 2) and a happy 3-year-old Golden Retriever, so I’m used to all kinds of personalities — from playful puppies to calm seniors. With over 10 years of experience, I know how important it is to follow your pet’s routine and keep them feeling safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medication when needed, I’ll make sure your furry friend is cared for like my own. ❤️ I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m around most of the day to keep pets company. Whether it’s playtime with toys, cuddle breaks between work, or going out for walks, I love having furry friends as part of my daily routine. It’s easy for me to adjust my day around their needs — making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I live in a single family home where pets have plenty of space to play and relax. We have a secure fenced yard, perfect for safe outdoor time and fun walks. I also walk the dogs 3–4 times a day (they never get bored!) and always keep fresh water out, changing it twice daily. I have two friendly, social cats and a gentle Golden Retriever who loves making new friends — they’re all very dog-friendly and happy to keep your pet company. I don’t usually use crates for my own pets since they’re free to roam and feel comfortable at home, but I can absolutely crate your pet if that’s part of their routine or helps them feel safe. My goal is to make your pet feel at ease and cared for, just like they would at home. 🐾💛

About: I’ve been a veterinary assistant going on 8 years now. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, administering medications, including injections and I don’t mind exotics. I am currently working so i will be able to work around schedules and my classes are online for now so I can definitely plan my classes around your pets’ schedule. In general, I believe all living beings deserve to be treated with love and respect. Therefore, I will make sure their bowls are clean, they have clean water, access to comfort and safety checks before I leave.

“Reliable, quick to answer, sweet, and VERY skilled at grooming. My adopted dog Milky goes for 30 minute walks with Ashley 3x a week and she often goes over the half hour mark. Milky loves her and I trust her! Thanks Ashley!!”

“This review is overdue! We first booked Shellby a few months back on very short notice. It was a very last-minute request, and our usual walker/sitter was unavailable. I contacted Shellby and she got back to me very quickly. I was worried because I usually do a "meet and greet" any time we have a new sitter, but in this instance, it wasn't an option. Shelby was an excellent communicator leading up to her walking/feeding my dogs, and put my mind at ease. My dogs did great with her and the care they received was excellent. I've since rebooked Shellby and plan to do so again. I'm so glad I've found this great new dog walker. Definitely recommend her services!”

About: I have 4 dogs of my own, ages 10 to 3 months old. Know feeding, walking, and bathing for small and larger dogs. Previous experience helping at an animal shelter. Helped in giving medication, feeding, walking, as well cleaning procedures to ensure pet safety. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to watch over your furry friends! I am available for walks and drop in visits throughout the week, before 1pm. I have a fenced backyard that is connected to a car port that is also fenced. I have 4 friendly dogs who will be able to play and keep your pups company. I am capable to crate your pup or can bring them inside the house if necessary. I have 2 cameras, one in the backyard and one in front of my home that oversees the gate as an extra safety precaution.

About: I have been an animal lover all my life! As a teenager and young adult I helped my mother care for all 6 of our dogs and 1 cat. Having pets is like having a children and I learned that from my experience with these 7 pets. Feeding, cleaning up after them, playing with them, taking them to the vet when they were sick or for check up. After my mother’s passing I kept our cat Khana who is soon to be 20 years old! Since then I have also adopted my own dog Benjamin at 2 months old. He will be turning 4 this year. I know the importance of feeding, grooming and playing with your pet. I will be careful and attentive with your pet and I will give your pet the same love and attention that I have given mine all my life. Thank you I work at a bar once a week and work as a real estate agent during the day. My schedule is pretty open from morning to evening time. I will make sure pets are fed and given water on home visits. Play time and cuddles would be necessary as well! Would be open to any special request as well.

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have 2 cats. One of my cats is a senior (almost 20 years old) so I do have experience caring for a senior pet. I love animals and will treat yours as my own! I would prefer dogs who are kid friendly. About this sitter: My name is Tessa and I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3. I love animals and have 2 cats myself! I would love to make your dog a part of our family for the day or longer! Regarding my cats: I am able to keep my cats separate from your dog, if you are concerned about that. I think it’s best to keep them separate to avoid any issues. I put my cats in my primary bedroom upstairs along with all their stuff and they are perfectly fine! But if your dog is cat friendly, I don’t mind letting them interact a bit. My senior cat is just a little freaked out by high energy dogs but she calms down after a bit. My younger cat is probably more open to dogs, she’s very friendly and mellow. Either way, I’m happy to accommodate! I drop my 3 kids off at school Monday-Friday and I am done with that around 8:30am. I pick up my youngest at 1:40 and my middle child at 3pm. So I will have about 4 hours each day until pick up my youngest. I am also available most weekends. Just message me and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. We live in a 4 bedroom condo and I have a fenced in patio and plenty of walking space throughout my neighborhood. Your dogs will feel safe and right at home! I will also make sure that your dogs are safe and cared your dog is in my home!

About: I started working with pets when I was 10. I had a dog walking business with my sister. We were responsible for walking the neighbor's dogs and pet sitting them while their owners were away. I grew up in a house with every kind of pet you could imagine- rabbits, birds, reptiles, fish, dogs, and cats. As an adult I have continued to care for people's pets: both dog walking and pet sitting. I have cared for people's furry friends consistently and been a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter for two decades. I work part time as a nanny and I'm in school studying biology/ premed. I have weekends fully available for overnight stays and drop ins, as well as walks. During the week I am available all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I have monday evening available as well. I am hoping to fit in dog walking and pet sitting into my routine and make it a part of my daily schedule. When I go to client's homes to watch their pets I make sure to be present and attentive to the animals. I provide excellent care and love to my clients' pets and treat them like I would my own pet.

About: I always had a dog growing up and have taken care of one of my own! His name is Old Man Buck and we loved exploring and snuggling together. I have been a professional dog walker pet sitter. I now work at Petsmart as a professional bather in their grooming salon. I am so obsessed with dogs that I always have to stop and pet it if I see one. My friends call me the dog wisperer becuase all dogs love me. My schedule is extremely flexible and I am always willing to work with you on timing. I have expeience taking care of both big and little dogs. I promise to provide the same level of care for your dog as I do my own pup. Petting and playing with dogggies makes me so happy! I hope I get to meet your best friend. I am also willing to maintain an Instagram profile or any form of social media your lucky pet may have. I also have experience caring for Guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, reptiles, cats, and fish. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I can have morning and afternoon availability. I am very respectful of any home that I enter. I will leave things just as I found them and follow instructions exactly. I will treat your pets as if they were my own.

“Carolyn is great! She was always on time and friendly and took good care of Clover while also working on some things with him during their walks. I especially liked how she would play fetch with him as well as rollerblade alongside him!”

About: In the recent years I have often taken care of friend’s and family’s pets, in both my own home, as well as in their homes! I currently work a hybrid job that allows for me to stay at home most of the week. This opens up my schedule greatly to work with animals and be flexible with appointments. I am a very caring and detail oriented person. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted what’s best for animals. Looking after living beings is careful work but when done right, is incredibly rewarding and fun! I always listen to the owners instructions and abide by them. I try to be diligent and am always there to provide gentle care.

About: I absolutely love cats and have 10 years of experience caring for them. At home, I have a sweet and well-mannered 6-year-old Maine Coon cat. He enjoys eating, sleeping, and sunbathing—he’s a little lazy but incredibly charming! He’s also very friendly and gets along well with other cats. Beyond my own cat, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many different breeds, including British Shorthairs, Golden British Shorthairs, Ragdolls, black cats, tortoiseshells, and more. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and needs, and I always strive to provide a comfortable and stress-free experience for them. Whether your cat loves playtime, enjoys quiet companionship, or needs special care, I’m happy to accommodate their preferences. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your furry friend! I work from home full-time, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. My daily routine revolves around ensuring they are well-fed, comfortable, and entertained. Whether it’s playtime, grooming, or just providing companionship, I’m always around to meet their needs. This flexibility also allows me to closely monitor their health and behavior, ensuring they feel safe and happy at all times. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly 2B2B apartment with my wife and our friendly 6-year-old Maine Coon. Our home is quiet, safe, and designed to be a stress-free environment for cats. We ensure there are no hazards, and there’s plenty of space for pets to explore, play, or relax. Additionally, we live in a pet-friendly community, making it a welcoming and safe space for animals. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and specific instructions to ensure their cat feels secure and comfortable. Cleanliness, proper feeding schedules, and personalized attention are my top priorities, whether in my home or theirs.

“Elise was fantastic! She walked our dog for 7 days when we were out of town, for 1 hour-long walks. Every day she made rover cards with photo updates, and commentary about our dog and their adventures on the walk! He looked very happy! Would use Elise again in a heartbeat!”

“Thanks Rebecca! Rebecca did such an amazing job! Rocket and Benji misses her already! Love all of the detailed info from the walk and how you took care of them by wetting the dog run area and giving them extra water.”

About: I’ve spent the last 8 years being the best dog mom to my chocolate Lab, Iris—she’s my family and best friend. From training her as a puppy to keeping up with her endless energy, I’ve learned what it takes to care for dogs with love, patience, and plenty of playtime. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, belly rubs, or just someone to hang out with, I’ve got them covered. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already a part of my daily life! I’ve been caring for my dog Iris for the past 8 years, so fitting in walks, feedings, and playtime comes naturally to me. As a student, I only have classes two days a week, which leaves me plenty of time to care for other pets. Whether your pup needs a walk, some company, or overnight care, I can easily work around my schedule to make sure they’re happy and well cared for—just like I do for my own dog every day!" If I’m pet sitting at your home, I treat both your pet and space with the utmost care and respect. I ensure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while also keeping your home tidy and secure. No matter where I’m watching your pup, their safety and happiness are always my top priority!
