Dog Walking Trabuco Canyon

About: I just graduated college with a degree in Animal Science! I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2.5 years and have lots of experience caring for all types of pets. I have experience with puppies and seniors, as well as dogs and cats with special medications/diets and behavioral issues. I can cater to any special requests you have and will give them all the pets and attention they want :) I have grown up with dogs my entire life and still have three at home, so I know how to incorporate caring for your pup into my daily routine! I can schedule my day around them or possibly bring them along with me throughout my day. When caring for your dog in your home, I will treat your home with respect and care. I will keep your house tidy and clean the backyard when necessary.

“Rachel was great with my senior dog who needed a walk while I was gone for an extended time. She was very flexible on feeding him and took him on a nice long walk. Overall she was great!”

About: Former live-in dog caretaker with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and providing a safe, loving, and dependable environment while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care and spend as much time with your pets as needed. Whether it’s maintaining their routine, offering companionship, or making multiple visits throughout the day, I’m committed to giving them the care and attention they deserve. I prefer to meet you and your pet before the first booking to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including administering oral medications or mixing them with food exactly as directed. I tailor my approach to each pet’s comfort level, building trust at their pace. With cats especially, I never force interaction. I understand their unique personalities and will happily give them space when they need it.

“Erika went above and beyond from day one. I had just rescued a very nervous dog and contacted her in panic — she responded immediately and came the same day to help. She took the time to sit with my dog multiple times so he could get comfortable, and her patience, warmth, and communication have been amazing. I’ve now hired her permanently and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”

“Did absolutely amazing with our rescue dog. Sent me pictures and videos, even made sure she drank water and that she was comfortable before putting her back in her kennel. 100% recommend her to walk your fur babies!”

About: I have pet sat for friends and family throughout the years and have developed a special love for it. I have skills administering meds to cats and have three cats of my own! I am a current student, however, with summer coming up, my schedule is completely open! I would love to work with you to figure out the best way to ensure your pet has all the attention they need! I treat every pet as my own and every home as my own, with the upmost respect and care for everything in it! If there are any specific house rules, I would be glad to accommodate them!

About: As an animal lover since a small age, I’ve always been the go-to neighbor and friend to care for other’s beloved pets while they’re away. It’s a bright spot in my day to share some time with furry family members. I love cats, and I’d like to think I’m a bit of a cat whisperer. We have two cats, Bartleby and Butterscotch, both rescues. I understand cats can be timid with new people and need time to feel safe to reveal themselves. I feel I’m good at communicating my intentions and seem to gain their trust quickly through finding just the right way to speak and pet them. Dogs are wonderful companions. I always hate to travel and leave our 5 year old Frenchie named Brutus behind. I had the honor of training him since he was 10 weeks old. Brutus came along right as our senior rescue dog Bill was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease and needed daily medication to help treat it and eventually wearing diapers around the clock. Bill was a Yorkie-poodle mix with skin allergies and needed daily medication. I got to experience the senior dog that was slowing down and needing more care while training a high energy puppy. So I’m fully able and ready to care for dogs at any stage of their lives. I’m great at meeting them we’re they’re at and gaining their trust. I’d be more than happy to help care for your cats and dogs! I’m working part time and have time in the mornings, and after 2pm until late into the night for any help you may need. I am happy to take your dog on walks and play with them, as well as feed and spend time with any cats you may have in your home.

Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, fun, and stress-free experience. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member. I look forward to getting to know you and providing your pet with the love and attention they deserve! I currently work remotely on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s and am always available on the weekends. I am available during the week to walk at lunch time and after work around 4pm. In my own home all my animals are treated like my children. They only get the best of the best in regards to food, love, and activity options.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely treat every pet like family.

About: I have grown up with 5 aunts who all have had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. One of my aunts is a veterinary technician so I have had first hand experiences of fostering puppies and kittens, caring for senior pets, and even caring for sick pets. I worked at Animal Urgent Care of South OC for a little over a year. I lost my childhood dog in 2023 that I grew up with since 5 y/o so I understand how much these pets mean to us and how much we need the best care for them! I currently am in nursing school and working part-time! (I know sounds like a lot) but I am in the very beginning of school so classes are only scheduled 1 day of the week that changes to a different day every 10 weeks. My part-time job is very minimal and a remote job where I can work from home with plenty of time to walk/play/check-in on any pups! I am available for overnight pet sitting mainly on the weekends but am open to discussing weekdays depending on my school situation that week! I have a large fenced yard with tons of grass. I have a small chiweenie puppy who is very playful and friendly. She loves other dogs and cats and wants to make friends with everyone. I also have a male orange tabby cat who is friendly with other animals but mainly stays to himself. I am able to crate your pet if needed/asked and would be able to walk them in my neighborhood or yours!

About: With several years of hands‑on pet‑care experience, I provide calm, consistent care that puts pets—and their owners—at ease. I specialize in working with both puppies and senior dogs: I’ve helped house‑train and socialize young pups while building their confidence, and I’m comfortable managing the slower pace, medications, and gentle routines that senior pets often need. I’m attentive to body language, treat with kindness rather than fear, and customize each visit to your pet’s personality, energy level, and medical needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m fully available during the day and in the evenings. Since I recently moved to Rancho Santa Margarita and don’t have another job right now, I can offer flexible visits, consistent schedules, and plenty of time to get to know each pet’s routine. I build my day around dependable walks, potty breaks, and in‑home visits, so pet parents can count on me to show up on time and give their animals the regular attention they need. My condo is very dog friendly. There are plenty of trails and parks around to take them on adventures. It does not have a yard or fence but I will be present 100% of the time.

About: Hi there! I bring years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs, including my own husky and several senior dogs requiring medical support and veterinary visits. Pet care isn't just about completing a checklist to me. It's about knowing the animal. Some dogs want to run until they're worn out. Some want to stay close to you. Some need medication at a very specific time. I try to understand those differences before I ever begin caring for a pet. Throughout my life I've owned and loved five dogs. I understand the importance of treating every pet like family and providing care that matches their normal routine. Beyond pet care, I've also been trusted to look after luxury homes throughout Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, and Newport. For over four years I managed weekly household needs while coordinating with maids, landscapers, pool services, and other vendors. Whether it's keeping up with energetic dogs, providing extra care for senior pets, or making sure your home remains secure while you're away, you can count on me to handle everything with reliability and professionalism. I’m available most days and love spending my time with pets. My own husky enjoys running 1-2 times a day, so staying active is already part of my routine. At home, I also care for two cats, so I’m comfortable balancing different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust quickly—even the shyest cats seem to warm up to me. I provide a safe, caring, and consistent environment where pets feel secure and loved.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’m always excited whenever I see an animal. One of my former jobs was at Starbucks and whenever I got to see a puppy or a different pet in the Drive thru with their owner, I’ll always get super excited. I’ve been taking care of animals for 14 years and I’ve had experience with various different kinds of pets. Such as, cats, a dog, a rabbit, a leopard gecko, a parakeet and a rat. I’ve also worked at pet store for a year and learned even more about how to take care of animals. I even trained the birds there. Animals make the world a little better. I’m also a very patient and friendly person who will treat your pets as if they’re my own. I will always make sure to go above and beyond for your pets. I will listen to all directions given by owner. I have two dog parks located in my apartment complex and another park located close by. I work weekdays and always have weekends off! However, I will always make time for your pet no matter what. Taking care of pets comes natural to me and it’s so fun that it doesn’t even feel like a chore. I will give your pets a lot of love and will always take their safety in consideration. I’ll keep them crated with approval if there is an issue and keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re ok.

About: I’ve taken care of our dogs for 17 years, all the way from puppies to elderly dogs (17 years). I’ve had to provide special care, diets due to illness or old age. I provide very kind & loving caring. I am a stay at home mom with older kids out of the home. I take care of my granddaughter a few times a week but can be available any day and time. I attend your home and will follow any instructions as needed, making sure that the dogs & cats are safe (do not escape) and follow what is most comfortable for the owner.

About: I have 8+ years of pet sitting experience, in addition to caring for my dachshund from ages 2 to 14. Since her passing last year, we have a pet-free home and backyard suitable for hosting dogs and cats and a lot of love and attention to give. I am currently job-seeking, which can be done from any location and allows me to have a completely flexible schedule, all days and hours of the week. I have a 2 story home with a fenced in backyard with grass. We have dog beds, dog stairs for the couch, and a small crate available.
