Dog Walking Quail Hill

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for the past 10+ years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets through walking, house sitting, feeding, giving medication, etc. I am usually their go-to petsitter since I am known to be reliable, responsive, and love spending time with animals. Excited to meet your fur baby and get to know them! I work from home so my hours are flexible. My schedule is usually pretty open, although I am more available in the evenings and weekends. Happy to work something out with you! I can take your dog on walks, play catch, play tug of war with toys, and practice tricks with them! With cats, I can play with wand toys, stuffed animals and I love giving them cuddles!

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!

“Tanya did a great job on her first walk with Ava....even after her car breaking down on the freeway that day. She made it on time and kept in constant contact with me giving me piece of mind since we were out of town for the day. We will defiantly have Tanya back for walks and I booked an overnight stay next month for Ava at her place, so much better than having to board her! Thank you so much Tanya!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and understand their different personalities, walking habits, and needs. I always prioritize their safety and comfort by bringing water on walks, choosing shaded routes or grassy areas when it’s hot to protect their paws, and letting them stop to sniff and explore—because walks should be enjoyable, not just exercise! You can count on me to treat your dog with the same care, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, reliable walks throughout the week. I make sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and pace that’s right for them while keeping their safety and comfort a priority. I tailor each walk to the individual dog, paying attention to their energy level, personality, and comfort. I’m patient and attentive throughout the walk, allowing them time to explore and enjoy themselves while keeping them safe and under control.

About: I provide attentive, high-quality care for pets in Irvine and understand how important routine, cleanliness, and communication are for local pet parents. I’m especially experienced with small breeds (including my own Bichon Frise), and I adjust my care to each dog’s personality—whether they need structured walks, playtime, or a calm, low-stress environment. I keep spaces clean, follow feeding and care instructions precisely, and make sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I’m also very communicative and send regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding on both weekdays and weekends. I prioritize consistency, so I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s specific feeding times, walks, or play sessions. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for at all times. I provide a calm, clean, and well-managed environment where pets feel safe and relaxed. I’m highly detail-oriented and follow all care instructions precisely, including feeding, activity levels, and any special needs. I specialize in small dogs and understand the importance of a low-stress, structured setting. Pets are always supervised, and I prioritize safety at all times—both inside the home and on walks. I also maintain a very clean space and treat every home with respect and care. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you always feel confident and connected while your pet is with me.

About: I’ve owned dogs for most of my life. I connect with animals deeply and love spending time with them! I have cared overnight for dogs before, and have done drop-in visits for cats before. I have volunteered with various animal rescue organizations including the SBWCN, Santa Barbara Humane, and Animal Rescue España, at which time I was able to care for wild animals and traumatized dogs. I have learned things from various trainers that I have used to train my own dog, although I by no means have the qualifications to be considered a “dog trainer.” I will always treat your pets and households with respect and care! I’m offering walks, drop-ins, and overnight services full-time for the months of December and January while I am on a break from school! I understand that all pets have different needs. If your dog thrives with cuddles and short bouts of play time, that is what I will provide. If your dog wants to go for a half hour run followed by an hour long walk and chasing a ball, that is what I will provide. My goal is for your pet to be happy and well taken care of by the time you get home.

About: I grew up with dogs, have looked after family and friends' dogs for years, and now have a high-energy border collie of my own! I’m looking forward to meeting your pup! My work is currently flexible and remote, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I do my very best to keep my availability updated. I will treat your pets with the same care I give my own. I strive to leave your home the same or tidier than I found it.

About: Hello my name is Beto! Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. Their genuine spirit, loyalty, and boundless energy have inspired me to channel my love into a profession that brings joy to both dogs and their owners. My experience in the world of dog care has been a wonderful blend of learning, growth, and unforgettable moments. From tiny paws to larger-than-life personalities, I've had the privilege of connecting with a diverse array of dogs, each leaving an indelible mark on my heart. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I make sure to feed and walk my dog every morning and evening. Weekly, I schedule grooming sessions and spend quality time playing with and training my pet to ensure their well-being and happiness. In my home, I provide a comfortable and safe environment for pets. I have designated feeding and play areas, and I stick to their usual routines to minimize stress. Regular walks, playtime, and social interaction are important parts of their day. I also maintain open communication with pet owners to ensure I'm meeting their pets' specific needs. When caring for pets in my client's home, I aim to replicate their daily routines as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walking, and playtime based on their established schedules. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions or requirements provided by the pet owners, such as administering medications or adhering to dietary restrictions. Regular updates and communication with the clients help them feel at ease while they're away.

About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.

“Paulene was amazing. She took such good care of Charlie. She sent detailed information about each visit and list of fun pictures. She’s very sweet and extremely professional. I will definitely use her again. Highly recommend.”

About: I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. We can do this as my partner and I both work from home. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us. I work from home and barely go out because I am a homebody who loves cuddling and playing with animals all day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place except to work out or for special occasions. (This will be communicated to you before booking.) We have three cats at home who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place, so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉

“Serena was awesome with Penny! She took her on a long walk and provided photos! She was on time and responsive and Penny loved her! We would love to have her walk Penny again! 😊”
