Dog Walking in Turtle Ridge, Irvine, CA

“SO fabulous! Caroline is the best dog sitter. We’ve hired her twice so far to care for our little rescue dog while we were away on vacation. Our dog gets pretty anxious when we leave. She takes such great care of him! She’s particularly good about sending photos/videos for each visit and a message about how our fur baby is doing. Punctual, responsible, and so kind!”

About: Hi, I’m Sonya – your dog’s next favorite walking buddy (and so much more)! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, I know that every pet has their own personality – and I treat each one like family. Whether your dog loves energetic walks, slow sniff sessions, or just a cuddle and potty break, I’m here to meet their unique needs with love and reliability. In addition to dog walking, I also offer drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, or medication, and home sitting for those times you’re away and want to make sure your pet feels safe and loved in their own space. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with both pets and their people. You can expect regular updates, cute photos, and total peace of mind while your furry friend is in my care. If you’re looking for someone warm, trustworthy, and completely devoted to your pet’s happiness and well-being—I’d love to help. Let’s make every day a tail-wagging adventure! 🐶💕 Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine! I build my schedule around the pets I care for, making sure I have plenty of time and flexibility to give each one the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays, I plan my days to prioritize consistency and reliability for my clients and their pets. Spending time with animals brings me so much joy – it never feels like “work,” just something I genuinely love being part of every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and their pets with the same respect and love I would give my own. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, walk preferences, or favorite toys—and always prioritize the pet’s comfort and safety. I take time to bond with them, keep their environment tidy, and maintain their normal routine as much as possible to reduce stress while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos so you feel confident knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for in their own home.

“Rachel is wonderful - we highly recommend! We booked walking services by Rachel and will continue to, as she has a great demeanor; calm and relaxed yet assertive and warm. She’s knowledgeable and sends great, detailed updates and uses the Rover card each time. We’ll definitely be booking her services again!”

About: Hi, I'm Mia! I love pups of all personalities and energy levels! I've had dogs for most of my life, and I've dog-sat for friends and family for the past 4 years. I'll be sure to treat your fur baby with the utmost kindness, respect, and compassion. I'm also comfortable with bully breeds! I'm a graduate student, so my schedule is very flexible! Usually, I keep my early mornings and evenings free, but I'm also happy to drop by in the middle of the day for potty or play time (or much needed stress relief for myself!). My schedule’s flexibility is amenable to last minute bookings and cancellations too. I love all animals, and approach each with respect, care, and patience. I am happy to send photos of your fur baby each time I stop by, take pups for a short walk around the neighborhood, or a longer walk too. Overall, I hope to be a positive addition to your pet's environment :)

About: After 5 years working as an agency recruiter, I’ve decided to take a break and focus on something I truly love — caring for dogs! I’ve always had a passion for animals, and now I’m turning that into something meaningful. I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life. I grew up with a Shih Tzu named Barkley, who I loved and cared for over 10 years. Over the past five years, I’ve cared for a variety of dogs, including a Sheepadoodle, Dachshund, Pit Bull, French Bulldog, Great Dane, and a Mini Bernedoodle. I’ve helped friends and family with caring for their dogs over the past 5 years. They have always been a big part of my life, and I’m super excited to meet yours! 😊 I'm available Monday to Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm. I’m moving from San Diego to Newport Beach and will be available to start working on Tuesday, September 2nd. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow any instructions closely — including feeding schedules, walk routines, crate time, and their favorite toys.

About: I have taken care of friends' and familys' dogs for over 10 years, and have always had a dog of my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels - from playful puppies who need structure and stimulation to senior dogs who need a gentle, attentive touch. I have trained my own dog to sit, stay, walk off leash, shake, and even to smile! I’ve cared for dogs with a range of needs, including medication administration, anxiety, and leash reactivity. I’m also an avid runner and love including high-energy dogs in my workouts (with your permission, of course!). Whether your pet needs active playtime or a calm, cozy environment, I adjust my approach to fit their unique needs. I prioritize communication, consistency, and creating a stress-free experience, both for you and your pet :) I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s needs! I’m also a runner and love bringing high-energy pups along for safe, fun runs. Whether your pet prefers morning walks, evening strolls, or anything in between, I’m happy to make it work. Just let me know what your pet loves, and I’ll be there! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I’ll follow their usual routine and am happy to accommodate any special needs, like anxiety, senior care, or training reinforcement. If they’re staying with me, they’ll get a true home away from home. My own dog is a rescue, and I’ve done everything to make him feel secure, loved, and supported, and I’ll treat your pup the same way. He’s super friendly and ranges from total couch potato to full-on zoomies. He also loves welcoming new buddies into our home. With my flexible grad school schedule, your dog will get plenty of attention, activity, and a front-row seat to whatever show I’m currently binging - whatever they need most! When I’m in your home, I’ll treat your space and routines with care and respect. You’ll get regular updates and cute pics so you can relax knowing your pet’s in great hands!
