Dog Walking Spectrum

About: I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses. I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements. I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!

“Cie has been so gracious and helpful with my schedule and changes due to medical issues. Thank you for your understanding and always being so loving with Lucy!!”

About: Living life and caring for animals. I’ve had many animals throughout my life. I had my sweet little miniature dachshund for 17 years. Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide dependable, personalized walks and drop-in visits with plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and of course lots of love. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I understand that every dog is different. Some want a long walk and lots of activity, while others prefer a slower stroll and plenty of sniffing. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. You can expect communication, photos during visits, and a dependable person who will take your pet’s care seriously. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pup or cat! Hi! I’m Leah, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’m a dependable, caring and attentive pet sitter and dog walker who understands that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. For dogs, I offer personalized walks and drop-in visits focused on exercise, companionship and making sure your pup feels happy and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, provide fresh water and send you updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. I also love caring for cats and understand that cats often need a different kind of attention. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding and litter-box routine, provide playtime and affection when they want it, and give them the space they need when they prefer to relax. I’m available with flexibility and can dedicate time to giving your pets individual attention rather than simply stopping by and rushing off. I’m also a very responsible person who takes instructions seriously and treats your home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is simple: for you to feel comfortable knowing your pets are safe, loved and well cared for while you’re away. I’d be happy to meet you and your pets beforehand so we can make sure we’re a good fit! I am currently a stay at home mom. All 3 kiddos are in school. I have availability throughout my day. I can pop over after I drop them off to school. I have a fenced in small back yard. Also, live in a beautiful area with plenty of sidewalks and an amazing trail just a few blocks away.

“Tim has been walking our dogs for several weeks now. He is absolutely amazing. He cares, he shares when there are weird behaviors. He is reliable, punctual and communication. Has always been great.”

About: I'm the guy at parties hanging out with the dog. I have an adoring obsession with dogs but have been cursed with just bad enough allergies to not have a permanent one myself. Fortunately I've been able to live vicariously through petsitting for friends, but they can only go on so many vacations (despite my insistence)! I grew up with a lhasa Apso named Buster, two terriers named Haley and Comet, and a Chihuahua named Dodger, along with occasionally pet sitting for extended family and friends. I miss having a pooch around and would love to give yours a safe, relaxing place until you get back. I work a full-time job from home and my weekends are pretty flexible. I have some hobbies I like to do on the weekends, but am rarely gone for more than 3 hours and are low commitment so I can skip them if need be. I live in a very clean and safe area in Irvine that allows for nice walks with plenty of exploring. My apartment is a pretty standard 2 bedroom with decent space.

About: I understand family pets are your world, my family dogs Darla and Pandora are everything and I’m glad to meet your family too! I will give them the best care possible always. I would love to be more active while playing with animals! I’m currently self employed with a flexible schedule so I can drop in whenever! I can easily drop in and walk your beloved animals, just like I care for my own. I’m looking for local pets to give lots of love too!

About: I have been caring for my own pets and entrusted with the care of pets of friends and family since I was young. Everything from medical needs (injections and pills) to love and affection. My schedule is mostly wide open with a few personal obligations. I am happy to wake up early or stay up late to care for and play with your fur-baby. Just let me know what they need and what you need and we’re set. I am skilled in medical care for animals including injections and pills. I will gladly send photo and video updates regularly and any other information you would like. I will happily follow any and all instructions to help make sure you and your pets are happy.

About: I've always loved animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I raised my two dogs from puppies through their senior years until they were both 16, and I've been dog sitting for neighbors for the last 5 years. I'm calm, dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique personality, routine, and needs. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, medications, and special instructions, and I pay attention to changes in behavior as well. As a longtime mother and avid hike, nature lover, and wildlife enthusiast, I'm naturally responsible, active, and caring. I treat every pet as an individual and every home with respect. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their normal routine while you're away. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy building my days around meaningful activities, including spending time with animals. Pet sitting and dog walking fit naturally into my routine, and I'm able to give pets the attention, companionship, exercise, and consistency they need. I'm dependable about following schedules and routines, and I understand that every pet has different needs. I'm happy to work with your pet's normal feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and rest schedule so they can stay as comfortable and relaxed as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety and peace of mind are my priorities. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions carefully, keep pets secure, and pay attention to their behavior and surroundings. I'm especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape risks. I also keep their normal routines as consistent as possible because I know familiar routines can help pets feel comfortable when their person is away. When staying in a client's home, I'm respectful of the space and leave it clean and cared for. I understand that house sitting comes with an extra level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Most importantly, I don't just want to keep your pet safe. I want them to feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely enjoyed while you're away.

“Jackie was a great dog walker! She was always on time and provided excellent pictures on all walks. Our dog looked so happy in all of the pictures.”

“Logan was fantastic! She was so patient with our dog who was a little timid before walking. Logan is always very responsive and quick to get back to you. I would highly suggest her for any of your pets!”

About: I am a responsible, patient and caring pet lover living in Irvine. As a parent of three grown children and a lifelong pet owner (two dogs and a cat), I enjoy daily walks and spending time with your fairy loved ones and understand how important is to trust someone with your pets. I provide safe, attentive, and loving care, whether it’s a walk or a drop-in visit. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to focus on drop-in visits and dog walking. I’m available on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and most weekends. I make sure every visit includes fresh water, feeding (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Pets are never left unattended outside, and I always ensure fresh water, secure leashes, and a calm environment. In clients’ homes, I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and prioritize their pet’s comfort and safety at all times.

About: I’ve been around and cared for all kinds of dogs throughout my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of time to explore and enjoy their surroundings without feeling rushed. I’m very patient and like to get a feel for each dog’s personality and energy level. If they’re excited, playful, and active, I’m happy to match their energy and keep them engaged. If they’re more relaxed or shy, I’m just as happy to give them the space, patience, and comfort they need. My goal is always to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while they’re with me! I’m currently a Physical Therapy student, and pet care will be my part-time job alongside school. I don’t work anywhere else, so I’m able to dedicate my free time to caring for your pets! As a pet lover, I thought this would be a great way to do something I enjoy while also helping support my education. In my PT program I only have one 2-hr class a day so I have plenty of free time around that. I’m happy to use my free time for dog walks, drop-ins, playtime, and making sure your pets get plenty of attention and care! 🐾 I’m happy to welcome pets into my home! There is a fenced yard for outdoor play time and spacious indoor space as well. I have one dog and one cat of my own, both are very friendly and used to being around other animals. My dog especially loves having a new friend to play with! I also understand that not every pet is as social or outgoing. If your dog is more shy, nervous, or simply prefers their own space, my home has plenty of room to keep pets in separate areas when needed so they can feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and at home during their stay.
