Dog Walking Rancho Santa Margarita

“Rachel you went above and beyond, I wish I could send 10 stars, thank you so much and I will absolutely reach out again (ps; his stomach is fine now :/”

“Did absolutely amazing with our rescue dog. Sent me pictures and videos, even made sure she drank water and that she was comfortable before putting her back in her kennel. 100% recommend her to walk your fur babies!”

“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’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a pit bull mix of my own. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic medications, crate routines, and giving dogs the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I recently graduated nursing school and currently have a flexible schedule while searching for a hospital position. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or keeping your pets company while you’re away. I’ll always do my best to be reliable, communicative, and accommodating to your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your furry family members, and I will always treat your pets with patience, love, and attention. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where your pets feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I have been dog, cat, fish, and house sitting for over five years and I love it. Animals bring me so much joy, so being about to make a living caring for them is truly something special for me. I will provide the absolute best care for your animals and make sure that know just how loves they are! I have experience waking average sized dogs as well as giant breed dogs and I am confident in my ability to handle them all. I am knowledgeable in dog training techniques and how to successfully bond with and control new dogs. I pay attention to detail and am an always on time. With me, your dogs won't just feel at home, they will feel like they're in heaven! My job allows me to be free in the summer time, so my attention can all be directed to the pet care that I offer! I always pay close attention to where an animal is going and what they are eating. I will never let your pet get into something that is unsafe or not for them. I also do my best to keep your home well cared for along with you pet!

About: I just graduated college with a degree in Animal Science! I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2.5 years and have lots of experience caring for all types of pets. I have experience with puppies and seniors, as well as dogs and cats with special medications/diets and behavioral issues. I can cater to any special requests you have and will give them all the pets and attention they want :) I have grown up with dogs my entire life and still have three at home, so I know how to incorporate caring for your pup into my daily routine! I can schedule my day around them or possibly bring them along with me throughout my day. When caring for your dog in your home, I will treat your home with respect and care. I will keep your house tidy and clean the backyard when necessary.

“David has such a kind and playful energy! My doodle was quickly comfortable with him and they had a great time exploring park trails. Definitely recommend!”

“Delaney is always on time for my dog’s walk and they love her! Thank you Delaney”

Jean L W.

“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!🐾😊”

“Monica is great! She walked our dog, sent photos, gave us joy and peace of mind while away! She communicated well too. Highly recommended her.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet like family. Whether it’s a high energy puppy, a senior dog who just wants a slow stroll, or a couch potato who lives for belly rubs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Along with years of personal pet care, I also have professional experience working in emergency veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable recognizing when something isn’t quite right and staying calm under pressure. I’m also an EMT with years of emergency medical experience working with federal contracts which means safety, attention to detail, and quick decision making come naturally to me. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, walks, playtime, cuddles, and, of course, lots of treats (with your permission!).

Your pet will always receive my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

About: Hi! We’re a warm and caring couple based in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. We recently lost our beloved 165 lb English Mastiff, Apollo, and though our hearts are still healing, we want to share our love and experience with other dogs through Rover.

We live in a peaceful, pet-friendly neighborhood with a secure, fully fenced garden—perfect for sniffing, stretching, and lounging in the sun. We’re also just minutes away from beautiful Selano Park, Santa Margarita Lake, and Mission Viejo Lake, where we enjoy peaceful walks and outdoor playtime. Whether your dog loves cuddles on the couch, daily walks, or just a calm space to relax, we can provide personalized care and a loving temporary home. What We Offer: ✅ Experienced with large breeds ✅ Dog-safe, fully enclosed yard ✅ Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention ✅ Peaceful neighborhood with nearby parks & lakes ✅ Flexible drop-off & pick-up times ✅ Daily photo updates upon request Home Setup: Quiet home with no current pets Smoke-free, calm indoor environment Available for both day care and overnight stays Why Choose Us: Apollo taught us the meaning of unconditional love, patience, and companionship. We understand how important your dog is to your family—and we promise to care for them as if they were our own. ❤️ Work-From-Home • Attentive, Reliable Dog Care. Your dog is safe, supervised, and loved, with constant presence, a secure fenced yard, calm routines, and plenty of affection. Your dog’s safety is our top priority. We have a secure, fully fenced backyard with gates and constant supervision, and because we work from home, your dog is never left alone. Every pup in our care is safe, supervised, and loved in a calm, attentive home environment.

About: I’ve raised, trained & cared for dogs for over 30 years. My friends say any dog who stays with us has hit the jackpot. My husband & I both work from home, are mega dog lovers and shower all our guest pets with love and attention. We always provide daily "pupdates" and photos so our pet parents know their fur babies are being well cared for and loved in their absence. There’s nothing like peace of mind when you have to be away from your four-legged family members. My husband and I currently work from home and will shower your fur baby with love and attention. They will be well cared in our home. Availability most days with enough notice. We have a fully fenced patio great for potty breaks, basking in the sun, or resting in the shade. Pets are always accompanied when outside for safety. Inside is always a comfortable 72 degrees. We have a 2-story home with hard-wood floors, but area rugs in most rooms make it nice and cozy for pups. We are a calm and quiet household who prefers dogs with matching energy, but we still like to play and run several times a day, followed by well-deserved naps. I’m happy to preserve your fur baby’s routine when they are in my care. I can also administer medication if needed. ** for the safety of all the pets in my care, your pet must be well-mannered, potty trained, up to date on all vaccinations, flee/tick free, and in no way contagious.

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