Dog Walking San Clemente

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

“Logan is Hank's favorite friend when I can't be home to give him the love he deserves! I so appreciate the thorough photo updates and trustworthy, punctual treatment of my furry son!”

About: I have hands-on experience fostering rescue dogs for the past two years—especially puppies. I’ve helped rehabilitate malnourished, abandoned dogs and guided them into loving forever homes. My own dog is a foster fail I nursed back to health at just 2 months old after she was found on the street. Since then, I’ve fostered an entire litter of five puppies, all of whom were successfully adopted. I specialize in caring for young dogs and have a deep understanding of their needs—whether it’s feeding, socializing, crate training, or just giving them the love and patience they deserve. That said, I truly adore dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m currently studying from home, so your dog will never be left alone, and I live near two fully fenced parks for safe, fun playtime. Since I’m studying from home, I have the flexibility and time to give dogs my full attention throughout the day. My own dog has set a great routine for me—morning walks, playtime in the nearby fenced parks, feeding, training moments, and lots of cuddles in between. I love staying active and making sure dogs are both mentally and physically stimulated. Whether it’s short potty breaks, long sniffy walks, or just hanging out together while I study, caring for dogs blends seamlessly into my day. In my home, pets have a cozy and safe environment to relax and play. I have a crate available for those who are crate-trained or need a quiet space to rest, along with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I also have access to two fully fenced parks just a short walk away, perfect for playtime and exercise, plus a fenced front porch for fresh air and people-watching in a safe spot. I keep a clean, calm space and follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means meal schedules, medications, or snuggle time. Your dog will be treated like one of my own!

About: I am a warm person that loves to treat our pets with so much attention, patience, affection, and reliability, treating every pet like they’re part of my own family, it is important they feel that way. I currently am a stay at home mom taking care of my baby girl. My routine is mostly quiet and a calm life motherhood gives, enjoying being at home. Pet care fits perfectly since I am at home during the week and normally weekends just loving and taking care of my baby :) I am a very attentive person, I am very aware and cautious of the needs of our pets. I overthink any possibility or possible situation in order to keep them safe!

About: I have a little one (chiweenie, 5 years) and take care of my mom's two (shitzu, mix terrier) when she goes out of town. Chalupa hangs with her cousins during the day and enjoys my mom's home. I enjoy walking, playing, feeding, and caring for dogs (teeth brush/brush/shower/etc.). Would love to go above and beyond for you and yours while you are out of town or need some extra help. I am currently a post-graduate student who is looking for additional opportunities to get ahead on loans. I go to the gym and park in my free time, usually 3-4 hours a day. I can transport large or small dogs if desired; I have a hatchback SUV, two small boxes for dogs to sit leashed in the car, or can have small dog on my lap while I drive - something I often do with Chalupa. I would prefer not to leave the house in a vehicle unless the dog park is a part of your routine and you have a crate I can transport larger dogs in. I am new to the service and if you are reading this you would be my first client. I would follow your instructions and might bother you with a question or two. I would send you photo updates and text check in 1x a day in the morning. More if desired, I don't want to bother you on your vacation.

“Maggie was absolutely amazing! If I could give her 6 stars I would. From the moment we met her we could tell how caring she was and how much she loves animals. She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”

“Melissa took such great care of my dog, gave detailed updates after each walk and plenty of pictures, and worked with me to manage his separation anxiety. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt safe and loved while I was gone. Will definitely be using Melissa again!”

About: I have been a babysitter for 5 years and during that time have taken up dog walking and cat/dog sitting for the families I babysat for. Right now I have no other job and am on summer break from college so I have all the time available to work on Rover. I am vigilant with pets so no escaping on my watch, I love animals so I am very attentive. I have owned multiple pets of my own as well.

“Steve stepped in quickly when I suddenly needed surgery and time to recover. My dog waited anxiously by the door for four weeks because she knew she was in for an adventure every day, in the neighborhood or a local park. I really appreciated Steve's flexibility and extra assistance while I recovered.”

“Isabella did such a wonderful job with Cooper while I was gone! She sent great pix and reported on everything in detail. It made an incredible difference to my peace of mind to know that Cooper was happy and well taken care of.”

My services are tailored to each pet’s unique needs and routine. Walks can include relaxed neighborhood strolls, longer walks for higher energy dogs, or structured leash training reinforcement if requested. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, given fresh water, let outside or walked, and provided with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. For house sitting, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal schedule while also keeping your home tidy and secure, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of various sizes, and ages. This includes feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing companionship. I understand the importance of patience, and positive reinforcement, and I’m attentive to body language and behavior cues to ensure pets feel comfortable and stress-free.

I provide all pet care exclusively in the client's home, where pets feel most secure and comfortable in their familiar environment.

My goal is to keep your pet calm, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

“Parker took excellent care of Baloo during drop-in visits. He did a great job of following my list of pretty extensive instructions, and spent extra time keeping my anxious boy company. I received daily photos of a happy dog! I will not hesitate to book with Parker and Alysa again.”
