Dog Walking in San Clemente

About: Dogs have been a constant in my life, but what sets me apart is the care and attention I can give. For the past 6 years I’ve raised and cared for my two pups, both of whom deal with anxiety and unique health issues. That experience has made me patient, calm, and deeply in tune with each dog’s needs. Because I’m home with the time and flexibility to focus on your pet, I can provide the kind of love and consistency that busy owners often wish they could give. Whether it’s extra patience for a nervous pup, slow walks for a senior, or fun energy for a playful dog — I meet them where they’re at and treat them like family. I’m fortunate to have a very flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. As someone newer to the San Clemente area, I’m excited to get out, enjoy the outdoors, and connect with the community — and spending time with dogs is the perfect way to do that. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. Having two dogs of my own with anxiety and special needs has taught me to pay close attention to body language, routines, and triggers. I create a calm, loving environment where pups can feel secure — whether that means slow introductions, sticking to their feeding schedule, or keeping walks safe and controlled. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet with the same care and protection I give my own.

“Michelle was great! She was very punctual and sent me pictures once the walk had ended. She was very responsive and friendly. I would absolutely use her again. Thank you, Michelle!”

About: I grew up on a dairy farm in the country. I’ve been around a plethora of animals my whole life. Currently just have my sweet adopted dog Rosie who has been with me for over 10 years. I’ve been watching my friends dogs for years. I always seem to have another pup in the house I am watching. I decided to finally set up a rover profile:) My house is clean and organized. Dogs are allowed on couches and beds. I make sure to give lots of hugs and belly rubs! I work from home so I am around most of the time. I periodically have to leave home, but no longer than a few hours at a time. My husband is usually home too. We live in a large new apartment that has two balconies. We live right by a park and take our dog to the park throughout the day. I generally take a long walk in the afternoon with the pups. I do have a little fake grass patch on one of the balconies in case there is an emergency! I am willing to follow directions and apply any dietary needs to your pet. Our balconies are safe. We do have stairs, but if your dog is old, we are willing to pick them up to go up and down the stairs. We always keep the leash on when we walk and go to the park. We live by the beach, but have an AC unit if it gets hot or muggy.

“Thank you so much Kyle for taking care of my babies!! You did a great job and they were sleepy when we got home which is always a good sign. You are awesome and we appreciate it☺️”

About: Hi my name is Jaycee I am a mom to 4 grown daughters and have had pets my whole life. I know it can be hard to find a trusted pet sitter but I am here to give you peace of mind. I am extremely reliable, responsible and easy to get along with. I am active and don’t work so I have lots of time to offer to your pets. Contact me if you have any questions. I am active and I don’t work so I have lots of time to offer to your pets. I am available 7 days a week. When caring for pets in my home, I love to have the pet feel like nothing has changed! If the dog loves to sleep in the bed, I am all for it! I like to keep the animals routine in place while the owners are away, I love to send photos and take cute pictures. Most of my time is spent at home so your dog will never be lonely.

About: I grew up with a 100lbs German Shepherd and a 8lbs mini doodle, so I'm experienced in taking care of dogs of a ranges and sizes. I love getting to know the unique personalities of every animal! I work on my own schedule so I'm flexible, and am able to work in same day appointments! I walk my dog every morning, so if your's is good with other dogs it would work perfectly in my schedule! I can also pick up/drop off. I prefer to get the rundown of the dogs typical behaviors and habits in depth so I can learn how to best care for each dogs individuals needs! I love to give pets and play!

About: I have 6 years of professional experience in a variety of pet care fields. I have worked in boarding & grooming, shelter environments, cat cafés, and general pet-sitting. I love all breeds without exception, and have plenty of experience with senior animals, as well as young puppies and kittens. I currently have no pets of my own, but I truly miss having one in my life. So your pet will absolutely be the star of the show, and the highlight of my day! I believe that pets are family, and understand it can be stressful for both pets and their owners to be separated. That is why I believe in providing affectionate and thorough care, and I always tailor my services to ensure I am doing what is best for a pet in every moment. I am trained in dog walking safety, oral medication administration, and both feline and canine behavior analysis & intervention. So you can rest easy, knowing your pet is safe and cared for both physically and emotionally. I have a flexible work from home schedule. This means that I am available for longer/more frequent walks, inside/outside play time, and let-outs at times that are flexible for you. I always ensure my pets are getting a good balance between positive stimulation and relaxation throughout the day. I try to balance lots of attention and affection (if your pet is comfortable), with physical activity and mental stimulation. I believe that a balanced day makes a happy pet! When caring for any animal, I believe that it’s best to stick to their daily routine as best I can. If you have certain meal times, or special enrichment activities, I will happily accommodate! I always ensure that my parents get daily updates and frequent photos of their pet throughout their time in my care. For my overnight services I always request an emergency contact and the details for a local vet that you trust, if you have one. I have never had a mishap, but on the off-chance that there are any concerns that arise, you can rest-assured that you will be notified quickly, and in-detail!

About: I've been caring for our dog since raising a training him almost 12 years ago. I had been dog sitting and walking friends and family's pets prior to having our own. I would love to help care for your fur babies!! I'm a mom of 2 and married to my best friend. I'm available during the week most days from 8-2:00. I can do early walks or evening drop ins too. I will come to your home and love your dog when you can't! I am so filled with joy when I get to play with or help care for dogs. They are the most loyal beings and the make the world a better place. I also have experience with dogs recovering from surgery and administering medication.

“Kimberely was a blessing to have walk our senior golden retriever, Cali, while we were away on vacation.  Cali would get so excited to see Kimberely when it was time for her walks.  Thanks again Kimberely!”

“Holly did great with Ruby! She was quick to respond and made sure all of Ruby’s needs were met. I would highly recommend Holly!”

“Juliette was phenomenal. She was super flexible when my schedule became unpredictable, while my wife was deployed, and sent photo updates of her activities with our pups. She was very communicative and always quick to respond. She took our pups to the park on a hike and we could tell that they had a great time. We would definitely recommend Juliette to others in need of a dog walker while they are away at work. She always went above and beyond what would be required for a "dog walk booking."”

“Luke was terrific and reliable from start to finish. My dog took a real liking to him and plan on using him again.”

About: I have had the pleasure of caring for my family and friends and neighbors pets. I have experience with many breeds large and small ranging from puppies to seniors and some challenges or special needs. I am reliable, trustworthy and will treat your loved one as part of our family. I am recently retired after 46 years of federal service so I am looking forward to making your pet feel comfortable and loved making your pet feel special like family. I live very close to nearby park and very close to trails and we have a dog park on site all within a few minutes

About: They call me Santa Paws because I know your dog has been good for goodness sake! I’m available to walk, sit or check in on your furry friend. I've been a dog sitter for twelve years, staying at families homes anywhere from one night to one month in length. I am a SoCal native and I'm excited to get together with some new pups and get our steps in! I work remotely with a flexible schedule so I’m available to schedule week day walks. With no pets of my own I am free to stay at your home to care for your little ones while you’re out of town. Can’t wait to get to know your fuzzy friends! When caring for pets, I am sure to get clarity on instructions from owners first. Then I follow these instructions to the best of my ability while tuning in with your pets body language. I appreciate a mid-day puppy picture as much as the next girl so I’ll be sure to share pics if requested, or if they’re just being really cute…

About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats a majority of my life; including doggie day care, training, veterinary technician, and lead technician for the surgery department. I’ve now worked remote for three years and want to get back into working people’s pets again. I spend my time at home or on a trail somewhere near by. I’ve owned three dogs at once myself but currently down to two. We are looking to bring more life in our home and more company on walks. My animals are well socialized and want some animal friends to join us. I’m 36 years old and my husband works nights and I’m unemployed. I love taking care of people’s pets and want to get more involved with the community to help people out I personally have had bad experiences with my animals so I know how difficult it can be to leave our pets. I’m with my pups 24/7 and do very well with sending photos and keeping parents updated on well being to help put their mind at ease while enjoying their vacations or focusing on their work trip. My home is pet friendly. I’ve been surrounded by dogs for 15 years at least so very aware of behaviors and safety for pets. When watching someone’s pup you can be sure they are getting love, exercise, treats (if approved) and training ( if requested). Pets will be put on lease before any door is opened, we keep feedings separate as needed as well as keeping the owner updated with photos and any concerns.

About: I’ve had my own dogs and cats since I was 11. I have my Maltipoo that I’ve had since he was a puppy for 5 years. I also ride and take care of horses. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and horses and it’s safe to say, they love me because of how affectionate and caring I am for them! I am a content creator so my schedule is very open and flexible, any day and time I can usually work in, especially with a heads up! In my home I don’t have a yard so I walk my dog 4 times a day in the neighborhood to go to the bathroom and stretch his legs. If your dog stays with me, it will get the same amount of walks (if you want that).

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and can’t imagine life without them. I’ve spent the last four years house sitting and dog sitting for friends, family, and clients, caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs adventure or a senior dog who needs gentle care, I always treat them like they’re my own. I love being active and outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. From walks and playtime to cuddles and belly rubs, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day, so your pet will get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship—not just quick check-ins. I’m also happy to stay overnight for house sitting, making sure your home stays safe and your pets feel comfortable in their own space.Whether we’re out for a walk, playing fetch, or just enjoying some quiet cuddle time, your pet will be in caring, capable hands while you’re away. At my home, I have a safe outdoor space where dogs can relax and play, and I’m happy to crate them if needed. I also love taking dogs for long walks, especially along the beach—perfect for pups who love fresh air and exercise.

About: With a heart for animals, I ensure to treat your pet with love and dedicated to maintain their routine just as you would for them. I am currently working weekend mornings in a cafe and attend school Monday and Wednesdays from 9am-4:30 pm. My schedule is easily flexible when needed. As a pet owner myself, I have all the tools needed to create a safe and friendly environment for your pet and make any necessary adjustments to best fit you and them.
