Dog Walking Spectrum

About: I grew up taking care of a Yorkshire Terrier for about 10 years, so I’m very familiar with long-term dog care and daily routines. After starting work, I also helped take care of my roommate’s cats for about a year, including a long-haired tabby, a golden chinchilla, and a Siamese cat. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how different pets can be in personality and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning, basic care, and spending time with both active and more independent pets. Pet care fits around my work schedule. I’m usually up around 9am and available in the mornings, evenings, and nights for feeding, walks, and check-ins. I usually just follow whatever routine the pet is used to and try to keep things consistent for them. I always make sure doors, gates, and anything important are properly closed and checked. When I’m in someone’s home, I respect the space and keep things tidy. I don’t move things around unless needed. I also check in on how the pet is doing day to day and send updates and photos so the owner knows everything is fine. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions.

“I’m so grateful for Greta! I had to go away and was so nervous about leaving my Watson. But we were so blessed to find Greta! She’s responsible, loving, on time, creative, and goes above and beyond…and beyond! 100% recommend!”

About: I specialize in cat drop in visits and understand that pets thrive on routine, calm handling, and trusted care in their own home. My approach is observant, patient, and detail-oriented, especially for shy, senior, or medically managed pets! During each visit, I make sure your pet is comfortable, their space stays clean, and their normal routine is respected. I’m attentive to subtle behavior changes, potty/litter box habits, appetite, and overall demeanor, and I’ll let you know right away if something seems off. I provide thorough rover updates with photos, notes on eating, litter box use, and mood, so you can travel with confidence knowing your pet is well cared for. I’m happy to support: -single or multi-pet households -timed feedings and special instructions -oral medication and supplements -senior or shy pets who need a gentle presence If you’re looking for a reliable, low-stress, pet-savvy-sitter, I’d love to set up a meet & greet! About me: Attentive sitter providing detailed updates, medication support, and calm care for anxious pets! Schedule Flexibly With Me! I work from home and am able to be mobile for my job. Ideally, I’m popping in to your home to provide check in services, play, and attend to any other needs (food, water refresh, walking). Depending on extent of need I may be able to do weekends as well. I do have a full time remote job as well. I’m doing this in part because I enjoy caring for animals, and also to help cover some recent vet costs! Your Pet’s Safety Is My Priority! I focus on pet safety and comfort above all else. I am able to tailor my service according to the needs of you and your pet. Your Privacy: I understand the need for privacy and care when it comes to your home. I have no issue with remaining in designated areas or with cameras around common spaces. I will accommodate your comfort.

About: I grew up in a house of Akitas and a Shih Tzu — four pounds of opinion and eighty pounds of stubborn under one roof. I’m also the friend people hand the leash to: the Frenchie who overheats, the Corgi with short legs and long ambitions, the Husky and the Aussie who need a walk that actually burns something. Twenty years around dogs has taught me the ones people call “difficult” are usually just misunderstood. I know how to read the buildup before a reaction and create space instead of yanking. I’m comfortable with medication schedules too — that’s just part of a routine. Your dog gets someone who’s calm when things get loud, and you get honest updates about how it actually went. tl;dr Paws what you’re doing —and hire me :) Dogs are already part of my daily routine, so adding yours doesn’t mean rearranging anything. I work full-time but my schedule is flexible, which puts me right where most owners need someone — early mornings before the day starts, and midday, when your dog has been alone for hours and is doing that thing by the door. Those are my hours, they’re consistent, and I’m not squeezing you into a gap and hoping it holds. Book me for a regular slot and it becomes part of the rhythm for both of us. Same time, same reliability, every week. I work in your home only, and I leave it exactly as I found it. Walks follow the routine you’ve already set — your gear, your rules, your route, and I want to hear about triggers up front if your dog is reactive. Drop-ins mean potty, fresh water, food or meds on schedule, and real time on the floor with them. Every visit ends with locks checked and a message telling you honestly how it went, photo included.

“She’s trustworthy and great!! Will definitely book her again!!”

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!

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I combine responsibility with genuine attentiveness to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. With puppies, I pay great attention to how they feel and I’m very patient at caring for them. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to mobility needs, medication schedules, slower walking pace, and comfort routines. I pay close attention to subtle behavior changes that may indicate discomfort. I’m also detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, allergies, and household rules. Clean water, safe environments, and secure walks are always my priority. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique temperament. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of interaction throughout the day instead of leaving dogs alone for long periods. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each dog’s needs — whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding at specific times, or sticking closely to an established routine. Being home also allows me to monitor behavior closely and respond quickly if anything seems off. Because pet care would be a dedicated part of my day, I’m able to give dogs my full attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for rather than just accommodated. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I remove potential hazards, keep doors and gates secured, and ensure all food and small objects are out of reach. Dogs have a comfortable resting area, constant access to fresh water, and structured playtime. I supervise interactions at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, house rules, and preferred routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure security. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will immediately communicate any concerns. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I understand that trust is everything when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and responsibility.

“Miss Kk has been the absolute best dog walker for my 15lb dachshund mix for the past few months, 3x a week. We are in the area for work and staying at a hotel and she adjusted so well to the hotel life and the hotel staff absolutely love her and so does my pup. She is so reliable and has never cancelled on me ever. She is so sweet and I highly recommend using her for any and all services.”

About: I’ve loved being around animals since I was a kid, especially cats. I grew up with my grandmother’s cat and learned early on how to be patient and attentive to their needs. I’ve also been around dogs through family members, including breeds like Huskies, so I understand different energy levels and personalities. More recently, I cared for my neighbor’s Ragdoll cat for a full summer, making sure they were well fed, engaged, and comfortable every day. I treat every pet with the same care and attention as if they were my own. *I would love to share photos and messages to keep the owners updated if required Currently I’m working part-time, so I’ll be available most of the time at both day and night times over the weekdays and weekends. Pets’ safety is always my priority. I live in a gated apartment that has two dog parks. There are also plenty of dog waste bag stations and trash cans around the apartment. I’m a very active person and go to the gym four times a week for strength training. I also love hiking and walking, so I genuinely enjoy taking dogs out for walks.

“Cie is an absolute gem!! Not only does my dog Lucy love her, but so does my super skittish cat Cooper. Cie has gone above and beyond making friends with Cooper and giving him some extra love every time she takes Lucy for a walk! She's great with dogs and cats!! She has even checked on him when I'm gone for the weekend making sure he's fed and comfy and giving him lots of attention.”

“Highly recommend Randi! She is professional, punctual, and provenherself to be trustworthy. She took the time to genuinely understand my dog's needs and they hit it off immediately. She gave my dog a fantastic walk and even spent time playing ball. Excellent service all around. We will definitely be rebooking.”

About: I cared for my two Chihuahuas for over 17 years, from when they were babies to their senior years. In 2022, we said goodbye and sent them to Rainbow Bridge. Since then, I have been a dog sitter for my friends, caring for their babies with the same love and dedication, while prioritizing safety and careful supervision at all times. I also completed a Veterinary Assistant program, which helps me better understand senior care and medication support. To ensure a calm and comfortable environment, I only care for one dog at a time unless they are from the same household. I stay home full time and try to minimize alone time as much as possible. I understand that being away from family can feel stressful for some dogs, and I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and loved. I stay with dogs overnight so they don't feel alone. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel reassured while you are away. We live in a house with a patio in a quiet neighborhood. I take them for walks around the neighborhood several times a day and always make sure they are wearing secure leashes. Our home environment is calm and structured to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. My husband and two teenage sons also love dogs and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful with them.

About: My dog Mr.Paisley is 20 years old & Buttercup is 3. I've been blessed to have paisley since he was just a puppy and I was still a kid. We grew up together & through that he has taught me lessons I will carry for rest of my life, like unconditional love, compassion, joy for the present moment & so much more. Buttercup I got as a puppy as well & she instantly brought so much life into our home. I trained her myself to follow commands like stay, lay sit, sit on her butt with paws up, potty training and so much more cool stuff we practice everyday. There's a lot of love between paisley & buttercup, despite the age difference its actual been complimentary to each of them and has made a nice balance in the environment we cultivated as a pack together with regular activities, playtime, rest & relaxing all part of our daily routines. I am currently in college taking fully online courses & I also have an audio production company that I run remotely from my home online, audio is also what I am in school for. So between these as my primary obligations with an occasional audio engineering gig I have plenty of time to give all the love, walks and attention any dog would need. It's mutually beneficial for me and the dogs because I love to be active and they simply give me joy. I have my home accommodated for dogs to live their best life. I have a fenced backyard with a long 30ft long dog run with trees and dirt on the side of my home, then the actual backyard has sun most of the daytime with places for them to lounge and shaded spots to be in the fresh air, there's also grass for them to do business and a small puppy pool for the dogs who like to splash around a bit and play. The inside of my home is big and open with the upstairs and front office already securely blocked with puppy gates installed so they can wander safely and to their hearts content. I have big low to the floor comfy couches the dogs are totally allowed to be on and a special area in my living room that's 10x10 feet that I dedicated as a play pen area with padded floors under and cozy washable potty matts so the dogs feel like they have their own personal space they can get in & out of & go to whenever they want. Mr.Paisley my 20 year old dog loves it. Because he's older now I have learned how to manage special diets and ive also gained a deep instinct to notice things that indicate to me to give extra love and attention, also to handle serious situations calmly and correctly. I have a sliding screen door that I installed a dog door on so the dogs have access to outside all day anytime they want. I go on about 8 walks a day, different lengths & different speeds depending on the dog and I love it. This is a happy, healthy home your dog will love to be apart of.

About: Hi, I’m youhua I’m someone who puts patience and care into every moment I spend with pets. For the past five years, I’ve often helped my friends look after their dogs and cats, so I’m very familiar with their routines, habits, and body language — I can easily tell when they’re hungry, anxious, or just want some love and playtime. I always arrive on time for every service, make sure each walk is safe and enjoyable, provide fresh water and clean-ups, and send plenty of photo and video updates so you can feel at ease even when you’re away. I live in the Northwood community in Irvine, surrounded by several beautiful parks that are perfect for daily walks. I have a gentle personality and a calm energy that helps soothe nervous pets, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s schedule. I look forward to becoming a trusted temporary family member for you and your beloved furry friend. 🐾 I am usually at home. I go to the gym for an hour each time, and the rest of the time I am basically at home. I think I have a lot of time to take care of the dog. I have a fenced garden and I believe they will be safe in it. I also like to drink coffee in the sun in the garden, and I can play with them.

About: Dogs have always been an important part of our family, and caring for them comes naturally to us. We especially enjoy looking after small and medium-sized companion breeds such as Toy Poodles, Maltipoos, Cavapoos, Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Yorkies, Havanese, Shih Tzus, and similar breeds. Every dog receives individual attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, affection, and a calm, clean environment. We follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. Your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive regular walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep my schedule organized so each dog receives personalized care and a relaxed home environment. Your dog's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, quiet, smoke-free home where pets are treated like family. Fresh water is always available, feeding instructions are carefully followed, and I can administer medications if needed. I send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your trip knowing your dog is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention.
