About: I’ve had animals my entire life. Had my soul-kitty for 17 years and loved her every minute! My parents have two amazing pups, Sugar & Honey who are like my babies as well, however since moving out I haven’t had an animal by myself. Love to show love & spend time with fur babies! I have a schedule that varies week to week, so on my off days / or when I’m working the night I’d love to provide help with animal care for anyone who needs it! Please feel free to request to book - if I am unavailable due to work I will politely decline the request. I am able to walk, play with, feed, and care for your animals as needed! If there are any special care needs please let me know and I’d be happy to accommodate them.

About: 20 years experience as a dog trainer. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. I really love what I do. This isn’t just a job for me but it’s an absolute blessing to be able to love your pet as if they were my own! I have been dog training, caring, fostering, and sitting for a long time so I know pets. I can tell when something seems off with your pet and will go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, secured, and loved beyond words. Friends, family, and clients know that they are trusting their loved ones to a well-established, educated, and experienced professional - just call me the Dog Whisperer! Every pet is an individual with unique behavior, so I offer personalized pet care to provide the safest and most comfortable experience possible. You don’t have to wonder who is caring for your furry family members. I’m self-employed so I’ll have plenty of time to play, care for, walk, and train your pup if needed! I’m available for your doggy day care and boarding needs! ‼️VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ‼️ DOGGY DAY CARE is a total of 10 hours. Anything beyond that is $10 an hour. Any care that requires late pick up between 9pm-11pm an additional flat fee of $20 will incur regardless if care is under 10 hours. All fees will be modified in your Rover account. Please don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding ☺️. For boarding, Rover will automatically adjust extended stay rates as needed. If you’re looking for a place that can easily accommodate your fur baby then look no further. I have a comfy home and a friendly service dog to keep your fur baby company. They are free to roam, or I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I live in an extremely dog-friendly community that has gated and open field dog parks so your pet will have plenty of options.

My cat was rescued from the hood of a car, my sister rescued a cat from her high school, and we adopted an 8 year-old disabled cat while everyone looked at the kittens. I just moved to Costa Mesa and an in the process of finding a job, which gives me lots of free time to take care of all your beloved family members. I know work days can be busy and I want to help out the little ones as much as I can! I will follow all rules/routines provided and am willing to adapt my home to your needs.

Doug was seriously a lifesaver for our dog Tony while we went on vacation! We were able to fully relax knowing Doug had taken on all the responsibilities for Tony! He was always on time for his walks. We learned from Doug about training and tricks for Tony! He wrote very detailed reports every single day that we were excited to read!! Doug was reliable, friendly, and thoughtful during the whole time we were gone with phenomenal communication! Doug is a fantastic dog walker that we can fully trust and feel comfortable while we were away! We highly recommend Doug for all your animal’s needs ! We will be requesting Doug again and again!

About: I have grown up with small and big dogs, so I feel comfortable with all breeds. I have spent years volunteering at a shelter socializing and training dogs. I own a Doberman which has required me to become a skilled handler. Training and exercise are very important to me for dogs to receive, I strive to fulfill their needs! I am more than happy to provide training and socialization for your pup by taking them to public places (that allow dogs) after exercising them! Availability: I have the most availability in the afternoons, after 1 pm, but I am more than happy to try and accommodate! Working early mornings allows me to have the rest of the day to devote to the dogs I am caring for. I am an active person so daily long walks, adventures, and time outside is important to me I only take on the responsibility of one dog at a time to ensure that they get my full attention and care. It is important to me that they are prioritized and enriched from their activities with me

Jared was GREAT! Kept me updated the whole time. Sent pics. Offered to take him running. Even let me know my dog might have an oncoming upset stomach (which he did) So my BF was prepared and laid out pads over the carpet. Saved me the headache of having to hire a cleaner or order a rug doctor. Will definitely keep Jared on the list of trusted walkers.

About: I’m a part time city employee who’s lookin to take care of some buddies for an extra income. Just graduated from San Francisco State University and couldn’t think of a more enjoyable way to earn some extra cash. Have 5 years of personal experience with pets of my own. I have a flexible schedule as I choose my own days to work so I can easily adjust to anybody’s schedule. I can do overnight sitting for multiple days as well. Really love dogs and cats and can assure you they will be well taken care of. Don’t own any food of my own so it will have to be provided beforehand. Usually take them out every 30min-1 hour so they’ll be in good hands forsure.

About: I come from a pet (especially dog) friendly household. I have taken care of various kinds of dogs since I can remember. I was born into a family with dogs and we have had three ever since. We currently have a Duck Toller mix, Potcake, and an English Bulldog. The house was nicknamed "the farm" because families in my town would leave their dogs with us to watch and care for. Since the age of 12, I was responsible for walking and feeding (all three dogs) daily. During feeding time I would distribute the necessary medication to each dog along with their supplements. Each week I would alternate walking routes, every couple days I would take them on a hike and their usual was the local dog park. They would also receive weekly baths to get rid of all the dirt from the week. My Duck Toller is a COVID puppy, and I assisted training her. We worked on the basic commands, training on a leash, and how to approach dogs/people. I have also cared for dogs with disabilities and allergies. This past fall I adopted a Potcake from the Turks and Caicos islands. I trained him for the first six months before he became too big to travel cross country with me. When I return home we are still working on training on the leash and reacting to other dogs and young kids. When I was at home pet care was a constant daily routine, from walking to feeding at night. Whereas now, I have a lot of free time. I have classes throughout the week but I am able to spend plenty of time with your furry friends. My schedule is easy to fit in walks or check-in's daily or weekly as long as planned in advance. It is extremely helpful and important that prior to the first visit or the day of that visit, we discuss the routine that you have created for your furry friend. This is important because introducing someone knew into their lives that suddenly changes their norm is not healthy for them and not helpful for the owner. For example, knowing if you make your dog sit prior to being let out or fed is necessary. Every owner has trained their pet differently and my main priority is having the dog(s) comfortable with me and I especially want the owners to trust me with their pets.

About: I really treat every dog like they’re my own — because I know what that love feels like. I have a dog named Ace who’s been with me for five years, and caring for him has taught me patience and trust is. I focus on making each visit calm, positive, and reliable so your pup actually looks forward to seeing me. I have experience training puppies, so I’m gentle and consistent while helping them build good habits. I also understand the extra care seniors need — slower walks, comfort, mobility support, and keeping an eye on medications and routines. My goal is simple: keep your dog safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, also keep you updated. I have lots of treats if allowed. FIRST TIME DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE My schedule is an open book. I do work part time so I do have plenty of time to respond and make due. Please feel free to message me anytime. I will respond as soon as possible. I provide attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. In my home or a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer basic medications if needed, and ensure a safe environment. I also prioritize playtime at the dog park or ate home, affection, and regular check-ins to keep pets comfortable. I have a fenced in yard and kennels if needed.

About: Since the age of six, I’ve been taking care of dogs with all kinds of personalities, from hyperactive and playful to shy and anxious. I treat every dog with respect, care, and understanding, making sure they feel secure while sticking to routines that work best for them. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare so I’ve seen dogs of all kinds and temperaments. All furry friends are welcome in my home🥰 Pet care is a core part of my daily life, not just something I fit in. My schedule revolves around the pets I care for. I’m flexible and happy to build my days around their routines, needs, and energy levels. I truly enjoy sharing life with animals and making the most of every moment we have together. Making your dog feel safe and comfortable is my top priority. I adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs and make sure they feel at ease when you're away. I give them my full attention and care for them like they’re my own, creating a peaceful, structured space where they can thrive.
