Dog Walking Turtle Ridge

About: Hi! I’m Jiji — an active, attentive pet caregiver who loves working with dogs, especially high-energy ones. I’m confident handling energetic breeds and currently help care for a Husky, and we regularly go on 5-mile runs together to keep both body and mind fully exercised. I’m comfortable running, jogging, and staying active with dogs who need real movement, while always prioritizing safety, awareness, and positive energy. I’m calm, detail-oriented, and very tuned in to animal behavior, which helps dogs feel secure and understood. Whether your dog needs a steady jog, structured exercise, or simply an engaged, reliable companion, I treat every dog like my own. Alongside dog care. I’m also a lifelong cat mom with extensive feline experience. I currently care for five Bengal cats, managing individual feeding routines, administering medication through wet food, providing enrichment playtime, and even taking them on safe outdoor walks. I’m experienced with cats at every life stage, from playful kittens to seniors who need extra patience and care. Outside of pet care, I’m an active person, triathlete, and surfer, so I genuinely enjoy keeping pets moving and happy. My goal is simple: to give your pets reliable care, thoughtful attention, and genuine affection while you’re away. I am the primary caregiver for our 11-year-old daughter. My preferred weekday availability is 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM Mondays to Thursdays and weekend hours can be arranged upon request. For every visit, I carefully follow your instructions, including cleaning the litter box and maintaining your pet’s routine. If medication is needed, I’m experienced and attentive in administering it. I tailor playtime and affection to each pet’s personality—whether they love to cuddle or prefer quiet companionship. My top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable at all times.

“Lauren not only loves on and cares for Mozart, she is also very safety conscious and communicative. Totally great to work with and I HIGHLY recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’m Nadia, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes life is better with pups around. I just completed my Pediatric Residency, and spending time with dogs has always been one of my favorite forms of self-care—because who doesn’t love a little puppy therapy? 🥹🐾 As I study for my boards, I’d love to spend my study breaks giving your pup all the love, attention, walks, belly rubs, and cuddles I’d give my own. My medical background has made me naturally attentive and dependable, with an eye for noticing when a pup might need a little extra TLC. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, giving medications, and caring for senior dogs or pups who need some extra care. Whether your dog wants to go on an adventure, play endless rounds of fetch, or just curl up next to me while I study, I’m happy to match their vibe. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I am currently studying for boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule! I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Spending time with pups is the perfect study break, so I’d love to work around your schedule and your fur baby’s routine! Caring for your fur baby’s will depend on your own environment and your needs. I will always cater to your needs and your fur baby’s needs!

About: What sets me apart is that I truly understand dogs because I’ve been on both sides—I’ve dog-sat for others and I’ve owned dogs myself. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different personalities and energy levels. Having my own dogs has taught me how to read behavior, maintain routines, and provide loving, reliable care so pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently available Mondays and Sundays at any time, and on other weekdays after 3 PM, making it easy to accommodate walks. I currently work another job For dog walking, I focus on safety, routine, and positive experiences. I follow your dog’s walking preferences, leash rules, and energy level, make sure they stay hydrated, and always prioritize secure handling and awareness of surroundings. I also provide updates after each walk so you know your dog is happy and well cared for.

“I had an amazing first experience with Rover thanks to Bridget. She arrived early and was so great with my dog, Luna. Bridget was attentive, caring, and made sure Luna was well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

“I am a nurse who works random days/hours and Irina has been wonderful with accommodating to my busy schedule. She is always available to walk my dog when I need her. She is very reliable and consistent and I’m so grateful I found her! Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, My name is Natalie. I am a gentle & caring caretaker here to help ease your pet's worries while you are away. As a veterinary technician, I've supported scared animals through some of their most vulnerable hours. I'm known for being abundantly patient & gentle. I help pets feel more comfortable, more secure, reassured, & cared for. I pride myself in paying strong attention to details, which is invaluable in veterinary care & will provide an extra level of supervision for your pet should anything seem amiss or unusual when I arrive. Frequent jogging is a health goal of mine, so whether your pet is a tiny puppy looking for attention, a geriatric needing special tender loving care, or a strong young dog begging to get some of its energy out, I really can help you meet your pet's needs. I recently moved to Orange County & I'm excited to add pet care back into my routine in my new stomping ground. Jogging a few times a week is a health goal of mine, so I look forward to helping energetic dogs get out & moving! Sharing my time petting, caring for & keeping company those pets who are just not happy to be left home alone will be a very fulfilling part of my day. Very old, very young, large, small, & anything in between, I'm here for them. I want your pets to feel happier, more comfortable, less anxious & more reassured by having me there to break up the monotony of their day. Some animals just feel sad being alone, others need help getting out to the grass for a potty break. Some dogs just have more energy than they know what to do with & will be healthier, happier, more well behaved animals for you when you get home, if they've had an opportunity to let off some steam during the day. Your pet's health, safety, & well-being is my top priority. I've been extremely fortunate to grow up with a wide variety of pets, from dogs, cats, rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters, birds, quail, frogs, and fish. I understand that pets can feel more like members of the family than animals. I strive to give your pets the same level of care and respect that you would if you could be there in the moment.

“It's a wonderful experience having Sonomi taking care of our dog Sky. She is awesome and Sky loves her. She is punctual, caring, kind and happy person. We would highly recommend her to our family & friends for pet care. Thanks so much Sonomi.”

Sudhir V.

“She was wonderful! She is sweet, reliable, and keep me updated all the time while we were away. I felt very comfortable having her help us and really appreciated everything she did. Definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her again! ❤️🐾”

About: I used to raise a corgi and have 4 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I often help friends with walking, feeding, and checking in on their pets, so I’m very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. I always pay close attention to their safety, routines, and comfort. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for dog walks and drop in visits. I always plan my day so your pet can get consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine steady. I pay attention to safety, make sure doors stay securely closed, and give updates with photos during every visit so you can feel confident and informed.

About: I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. We can do this as my partner and I both work from home. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us. I work from home and barely go out because I am a homebody who loves cuddling and playing with animals all day. I love running and walking near my place and can do it as much as needed. My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place, so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉

“Amanda is amazing. She has a calm energy that is excellent for dogs. She immediately gained the trust both of my dogs that she was walking that never trust strangers. She is responsible and extremely professional. I have never trusted anyone outside of my family with my dogs until I met Amanda.”

About: I’ve lived in Newport Coast for over 32 years, raised three children, and have spent decades caring for dogs as beloved family members. I’ve had three dogs of my own, each with different needs — including a blind dog, a very active dog, and one who experiences anxiety — which has given me a deep appreciation for patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’m a loving, attentive, and reliable caregiver with a calm presence. I enjoy being outdoors and truly value the one-on-one connection that comes from walking and caring for dogs. Available weekdays. Weekend mornings only, before the sun goes down as needed. Please message me to confirm availability — I’m happy to accommodate when possible. For safety and comfort, I provide services exclusively in your home. This includes dog walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits. I do not offer boarding or care in my home.

Your pet will truly be welcomed as part of our family! ❤️
