Dog Walking Saddleback View

About: Hi there, I’m Carissa! My deep love for animals began at a young age, as I grew up sharing a crib with a lively orange tabby who was always watching over me. Right now, I have a sweet tabby boy named Torito. My beloved childhood dog, Pepper, passed away two years ago after a long battle with heart disease and I'm still learning to adjust to her absence day by day. I’m eager for more furry companionship and have lots of love to give!  ° 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ₒ 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ° Over the years, I've cared for stray and feral cats in my backyard, as well as cats and dogs of all ages, some of whom have had various health conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, thyroid disease, anxiety, deafness, blindness, and mobility issues. I've rescued and rehomed stray dogs to loving forever homes on multiple occasions. As a teenager, I volunteered as a weekly cat tender at PetSmart and Petco for two years, which gave me a ton of great experience working with cats of all ages and personalities! I understand trusting someone with your cherished companion can be difficult, which is why I'll provide you with regular updates, including plenty of pictures and videos, so you can feel connected to them while they're in my care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my number one priorities, and I can guarantee that they’ll be in the best care with me ૮ • ﻌ - ა⁩ ⟢ Please note: I only service dogs under 50 lbs, non-reactive/non-aggressive animals, and fixed animals! ⟢ Hablo español. I’m currently doing Rover part-time so I have a fairly open schedule…weekdays or weekends - I’m your girl! I work part-time but can accommodate your request before or after my shifts. I typically have full availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays. My inbox is open and attended to from 8am to 7pm. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask about my availability as it can vary! I would love to get to know you + your furry friend and make them feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! ₊˚⊹♡ ⟢ For drop-ins/house sitting: If you have specific covid precautions, please let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate. Meet-and-greets must be scheduled PRIOR to booking to ensure that we are a good fit for one another. As a safety concern, I am not comfortable with indoor cameras and request that you disclose of any prior to booking a house sitting. I also water plants and make sure packages/mail are brought inside safely. ⟢ For walks: I prioritize safety with leashed walks and only take dogs to fenced areas for off-leash play when asked. I work with one client’s animals at a time rather than doing large group walks so your pup will have my full attention!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always been known as the animal lover in my family and friend group. I’ve had more than seven dogs of my own over the years, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m also the person my friends and family call when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. I’ve cared for multiple dogs in my home and have experience with potty training and teaching basic commands. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking them outside, playing with them, and making sure they receive plenty of attention. I’m available during the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in home and a clean, secure yard where dogs can safely get fresh air, play, and take potty breaks. I keep a clean environment and make sure pets are supervised and have a comfortable space to relax. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs. Most importantly, I treat every pet in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

“Josh was great with Ari and even provided some suggestions about improving her walking skills. Would definitely use him again for dog walks in the future.”

“Cappy gets so excited to see Ana for their walk as I recover from having Lasik. He seems to have fun from the pictures that have been sent. I added a few more days because my healing is taking longer than anticipated. Ana is a very nice person and Cappy loves her. Will definitely use her services in the future when needed.”

“RE is great and took such wonderful care of our boys. Highly recommend him!”

About: I'm ready for hot girl walks for the time and I hope your pup is too. I've grown up and raised dogs of my own, but being in California for school meant leaving him (Butter) behind temporarily. My heart is empty and open to welcome and love yours. I am a second year PA student so most of my schedule is made by me, which will allow me to be flexible and have ample time to feed, walk, and play with your best friend! I treat every pet like my own and aim to create a safe, cozy, and fun environment. I follow routines, keep things pet-safe, and make sure each pet gets the attention and playtime they need. You’ll also get updates along the way and as many additional ones you'd like!

About: I’ve taken care of my pets for 15 years. I have also helped friends and family with walking, washing, and walking there pets when needed. I am currently a student so I am always available to help out with your pets any day of the week: walks, drop-in visits, and over night stays. I pay very close attention to the pets needs such as when they are hungry, need to go outside, or even just if they need some love an attention.

“Twinkle was absolutely wonderful with our dog. She can be a bit hesitant with new people and other dogs. Twinkle was very patient and caring with our old girl. And gave detailed review cards. Will definitely be reaching out in the future for any other trips!”

About: Ever since I was a young girl, I have had an immense passion for animals. I’ve owned and cared for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, fishes, spiders, guinea pigs etc. As I got older, I wanted to extend my career working with animals and worked at different animal hospitals and specialties. I care for all kinds of pets from young babies to sweet senior pets. Working with animals was the best decision I’ve ever made. I have plenty of experience and knowledge. I hope to hear from you soon and can’t wait to meet your pets! I am available daily including weekends and holidays. My schedule is very flexible at the moment so I can tend to each and every one of your pets needs. I will respect your space and make sure your pet is happy. I know how important both your home and pet are to you. I provide a very loving environment for your pet and plenty of reassurance that both are safe in my hands. 💛

“I loved the pictures Jezreel sent during the walks!”

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and pets of all kinds. I rescued my dog, Clayton, 14 years ago, and he recently passed away in February 2026 at the incredible age of 15. Through that journey, I gained firsthand experience caring for a pet through every stage of life, from the energetic younger years to the extra patience and attention senior pets need. I understand the patience, consistency, and love animals deserve, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, your pet will be in caring and reliable hands. Living in an apartment has given me a strong understanding of the importance of regular potty breaks, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine for dogs. Before leaving the house, I always make sure dogs get at least two potty breaks, followed by no fewer than three additional outings once I return home. Pets in my care are treated like family and are welcome to relax comfortably throughout my apartment, including on the couch and bed. I also enjoy taking long walks around my neighborhood and would love to bring your furry friend along for fresh air, exercise, and extra attention throughout the day. During the week, I split my time between two office locations — one in Anaheim near Honda Center and the other in Corona del Mar near Fashion Island. My typical schedule has me away from home from about 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while Fridays are fully remote and offer much more flexibility. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or requires additional attention, please let me know. I’m happy to coordinate flexibility within my work schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve.

“Rachel has been wonderful with our dog Corky. We set up a meet and greet prior to his first walk and Corky loved her! She is very prompt and Corky is alway waiting for her at the door. We would recommend Rachel for dog walking!!”

About: Hi everybody! My name is Bingbing but I go by Linda:) I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life(even before I was born!) and have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities🐶 I currently have a puppy who I’ve personally cared for every day since he was 2.5 months old, so I’m very familiar with the extra attention, patience, routines, and supervision that puppies need. We also used to have a German Shepherd who I took care of, so I have experience with dogs of very different sizes and personalities! I’m definitely a “helicopter dog mom” with my own dog, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, eating and drinking, bathroom habits, energy levels, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. I know how stressful it can be to trust someone else with your dog, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely, keep you updated, and treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give mine. I’m currently in college and taking mostly online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m generally available after 10 AM and have plenty of time throughout the day to give your pet walks, playtime, attention, and care without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and can stay in their normal routine. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, crate, and household instructions closely, and I’m very attentive to behavior, energy levels, bathroom habits, and anything that seems unusual. I also make sure doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings are secure at all times. I’m happy to send frequent photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Thank you for being so sweet and loving to our Goldie, Simba. You go above and beyond and communicate every step. Also, thank you for his birthday gift; he loves it!”

“Hayden was wonderful! He was friendly, communicative, and took great care of my dog. I really appreciated the updates and felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using Hayden again!”

About: I’ve been providing pet sitting services for over 13 years and have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs, multiple pets in the same household, and cats as well. Over the years, I’ve also cared for animals requiring medication and understand the importance of patience, routine, and attentive care. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, housesitting, and boarding, always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work remotely, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and flexibility throughout the day. I also live in a ground floor apartment with no pets, creating a calm and safe environment for visiting animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely 100% of the time, which allows me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to take regular walk breaks, maintain feeding and medication schedules, and give pets plenty of playtime and affection without leaving them alone for long periods. Since I have a flexible work from home schedule, I can easily adapt to each pet’s needs and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for during their stay. I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while following their usual routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and a comfortable space to relax. Since I work remotely and have a pet-free, ground floor apartment, I’m able to supervise them throughout the day and provide personalized care. In clients’ homes, I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment by maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications if needed, and giving them lots of affection and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

“Jasmin is wonderful. She watched my dog Malbec while I was on a weeklong trip. She sent us updates and great pictures every day being so easy to coordinate with as well. Thank you so much for sharing some love to our furry baby those Xmas days.”

“Ivi is the absolute best! She cares for your dog, as if they are her own. That’s hard to find! She consistently would walk Koda longer just because he was having fun. She communicated every detail and sent lots of pictures. She even bought him a cooling collar for a super hot day. She’s super flexible and was available last minute. My family is relocating and I wish I could take Ivi with us. I never had to worry when I left for work because I knew Ivi would take care of my dog. Ivi was the perfect dog walker and I can’t thank her enough for taking care of my pup.”

About: I have cared for animals for most of my life, including my beloved Chihuahua for nearly 18 years. I was with her through every stage of life—from puppyhood to her senior years when she needed extra patience, medication, and specialized care. That experience taught me how important consistency, attentiveness, and gentle handling are. Over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Your pet's safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I offer walks and drop-in visits for puppies, adults, seniors, and pets with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, reinforcing established routines, and adapting to each pet's individual temperament and energy level. I encourage owners to provide as much detail as they'd like about their pet's routine, preferences, and quirks. My goal is to make your dog or cat feel as comfortable and secure as possible while you're away by keeping their routine familiar and predictable. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet in someone else's care. Trust means everything. I strive to provide calm, one-on-one attention, reliable communication, and thoughtful care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. What sets me apart is my long-term experience as a pet owner, hands-on experience with puppy training and senior care, patience, careful observation, and my commitment to treating every pet with the same kindness and respect I gave my own. Pet care fits into my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure reliable feeding, walks, check-ins, and focused one-on-one attention without rushing or stress. I treat my clients’ homes with care and respect, follow all instructions closely, maintain a safe environment, and focus on making pets feel calm, secure, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I've owned, walked and helped train dogs for 17+ years. I enjoy providing dogs of all breeds and sizes exercise and enrichment, and always put safety first. I carry an extra leash, water bowl, loud handheld horn in the event we encounter stray animals or critters, and also have pet crates in my vehicle should I need to transport a pet to a park or local greenspace at a pet parent's request. I'm currently super flexible as I'm starting up a dog related business from home. I am available M-F with some availability on weekends and after working hours with some notice. Having had many dog walkers and caregivers for my rescue pit bulls over the years, I know how important it is to treat each dog (and their home) like my own. I will provide exercise, TLC, fresh water and food (if food is requested), and plenty of snuggles before I depart.
