Dog Walking Turtle Rock

About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.

About: 🐾 Howdy Hey! Hi! I’m a UCI student, certified EMT, and cat mom who truly understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your cat. I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and currently have a kitten of my own, so I know cats are not “low-maintenance” pets — they have routines, preferences, boundaries, and emotional needs just like dogs do. My goal is to care for your cat with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. Whether your cat is playful, shy, curious, cuddly, anxious, senior, or more independent, I’ll meet them where they are and help them feel safe, respected, and comfortable. 🐱 My Cat Care Philosophy I believe cats deserve enrichment, stimulation, and individualized attention — not just food, water, and a clean litter box. Cats deserve to live their best lives too, and I love creating a calm, engaging environment that supports their natural instincts. Depending on your cat’s personality and comfort level, care may include: • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box maintenance • Playtime with wand toys, toy mice, tunnels, or your cat’s favorite toys • Treat puzzles or simple enrichment activities • Scratching opportunities • Cozy resting spots and calm companionship • Brushing, if your cat enjoys it • Medication support, if instructions are provided • Regular photo updates so you know how your cat is doing I also offer safe indoor bird-watching enrichment. I have a bird-feeding area outside where cats can enjoy “cat TV” from a secure indoor window view. Cats remain fully indoors and safe at all times — this is visual enrichment only, with no outdoor access or contact with wildlife. 🏡 Cat Boarding in My Home For boarding, I aim to create a calm, safe, home-based environment where your cat can settle in without feeling overwhelmed. I keep care intentionally limited so each pet gets focused attention and is not treated like just another booking. Because I have a cat of my own, I do not force cat-to-cat interactions. Your cat’s safety and comfort come first. I can provide a separated space with their own food, water, litter box, cozy resting area, toys, and enrichment. If your cat needs time to decompress, hide, observe, or slowly adjust, I completely respect that. I understand that some cats are social and curious, while others need quiet, patience, and personal space. I’ll follow your cat’s usual routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress while you’re away. 🧼 Cleanliness & Safety I take cleanliness seriously, especially when caring for cats. Litter boxes, food areas, water bowls, surfaces, and shared items are cleaned regularly. I also pay close attention to changes in appetite, litter box habits, energy level, behavior, and overall well-being. My EMT background has made me detail-oriented, calm, and observant, which helps me notice when something seems off and communicate clearly with owners. Before boarding or visits, I like to know about your cat’s: • Feeding schedule • Litter box habits • Medical needs or medications • Favorite toys and enrichment • Hiding spots or comfort items • Personality and handling preferences • Stress triggers • Behavior around other cats The more I know about your cat’s routine, the better I can care for them. 🌿 Outdoor / Catio Policy For safety, I do not provide outdoor roaming, balcony access, or unsupervised outdoor time. Boarding cats will remain indoors in a secure environment. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to follow your cat’s normal routine if they have a fully enclosed, secure catio at home. Catio time must be discussed ahead of time and will only be provided if it is safe, enclosed, and owner-approved. 💬 Communication You can expect clear communication, thoughtful questions, and regular photo updates. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want you to feel reassured that your cat is safe, comfortable, enriched, and genuinely cared for. Thank you for trusting me with your cat. I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. As a UCI student and certified EMT, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day (or night). Whether caring for dogs or cats, I strive to keep each pet's routine as consistent as possible while their owner is away. During visits, I provide fresh food and water, exercise or playtime, bathroom or litter box maintenance, enrichment, and companionship tailored to each pet's personality and needs. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment. Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. Before each booking, I take time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, and any behavioral or medical concerns. As a certified EMT, I'm attentive, calm under pressure, and comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, activity level, and overall well-being. I understand that dogs and cats thrive when their routines are respected, and I work to create a safe, positive, and low-stress experience while you're away. I also provide regular photo updates and clear communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have cared for animals all my life. Growing up my family had a sweet shelter dog and many cats. We cared for very young pets to senior pets. Now, I have my own little dog whom I rescued from the shelter. I appreciate that all animals have their own unique personalities and quirks. I work remotely and can give your pet child all the attention they need. I am happy to prep their food and accommodate them while you are away. I have a pet stroller and pet carriers to use as needed. For boarding your dog child, I take my dog on walks throughout the day and once before bedtime, and I will take your dog as well. They are allowed on the sofa and I have multiple dog beds throughout the home. I currently work remotely so I will can give your dog child all the attention it needs while they adjust. I will treat your dog child like I do my own. Typically, I walk my dog throughout the day and once before bedtime to make sure they don’t feel any discomfort. I tailor my care for your pup, so if your pup loves to sleep I will happily give them the time and space to. If your dog loves walking then I make sure to take them on walks. I have pet carriers, a pet stroller, and dog car seats in my car to use as needed. I will send you photos throughout the day or as often as you request. I take their safety very seriously. If I sense any discomfort, I immediately try to address it in the most appropriate way, whether it be cuddles or space to decompress. I will never take your dog to the dog park and I will closely monitor any interactions with dogs during walks (if you have any concerns please let me know). I always leave water out for them and make sure they are fed according to their food schedule. I will attach an Apple ID tag to them for GPS. For dog boarding, since I have a small 12 lb chihuahua poodle mix, I kindly request meeting in a nearby park first so we can check that the pups will get along before taking them to my home. This is for everyone’s safety.

About: I provide personalized care for every stage of a dog's life, with a particular passion for senior care. I understand the unique needs of senior dogs – from administering medication to offering gentle exercise and tailored comfort to keep them feeling their best. Whether it's managing prescriptions, specialized diets, or simply providing extra attention, I'm here to ensure both you and your pup have peace of mind while you're away. I also bring flexibility to my pet-sitting services, as I work from home. I can provide your dog with playtime, walks, or cuddles while you're busy, ensuring your furry friend has a great time while you're away from home. As someone who works from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I enjoy taking frequent walk and play breaks with the pets, which helps both me and the animals stay active and engaged. These breaks provide an opportunity for quality time, exercise, and bonding, ensuring the pets are happy and well-cared for throughout the day. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or a playful game, I make sure to integrate these moments into my schedule, keeping your pet stimulated and content while I work. In your home, I maintain the same level of care as you provide by respecting your pet’s routine and space. I’ll follow your instructions closely, ensuring their daily habits are kept as normal as possible, from feeding times to play sessions. If your pet has special needs, such as medication or medical care, I’m experienced in handling that with great attention to detail and love. Ultimately, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy.

“Awesome reliable dog sitter. Carol is very flexible and accommodating. This is my second time using her services and would definitely recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter on SSI.”

About: I’ve had two dogs while going to school! I got them both when they were babies and played, took care of them, and treated them well. I am working part-time remotely so I have a lot of time and flexibility to take care of your pets! I also have a car so I can go pretty much anywhere if needed. I have many walkable areas where I can treat your pet to some fun and exercise to get them out of the house and tired enough to sleep comfortably later that night !

“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: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and educator with a flexible schedule on weekends, holidays, and during the summer. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I love providing them with personalized attention, plenty of affection, and a safe, caring environment while you’re away. I have open availability on weekends and holidays, and my schedule is very flexible throughout the summer. I also welcome last-minute booking requests whenever my availability allows. Whether your pup needs a potty break, playtime, feeding, a walk, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to provide personalized care based on their unique routine and needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. For all first-time walk and drop-in bookings, a meet and greet is required to ensure we’re a great match and that your pup feels comfortable with me before services begin. For everyone’s safety, I only accept dogs that are current on their vaccinations.

“First time using Rover and I’m really pleased with the service! Molly was great from the meet and greet to the actual dog walking service for our pup Scottie. Will definitely be booking with Molly again!”

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. 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!😉

About: I’ve either owned or lived with a pet almost my entire life! I’ve also been a pet sitter for friends and family for around a decade. I’ve had multiple family dogs and I’ve dog sat extensively too. A variety of sizes, breeds, and ages. I’ve cared for senior dogs with special needs and administering pills before too. I work full time but am only in office Tuesdays and Thursdays in Huntington Beach. I am only available to check in on pets before 8:30am and after 5pm for those days. Otherwise, I work from home and have much more flexibility for check-ins on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I don’t work on the weekends so I am open then as well. I am very responsible when it comes to caring for pets in their own home and for walks! I make sure to complete each necessary step for their care and ask questions to pet parents if necessary. I pay attention to doors not being left open (we wouldn’t want any escapees!) and I am sure to lock the door when leaving.

About: Actively taken care of Cats and Dogs for 30 years. I’m a huge animal lover and will take care of them as if they were my own. I’m a young professional who works part-time with a flexible schedule so I can make any days and time work and fit into your schedule. I will treat your pets and home as if it were my own with care and consideration. I take pride in my love and care for pets and will make sure they are cared for.

About: I had a few pets growing up, but none compare to Theo! In 2021, I rescued my now 7 year old chihuahua. He is an anxious and reactive little guy — but he’s taught me so much! Over the past couple of years, I’ve gotten him to a much better place. He’s a happy, often pretty lazy, little chihuahua! And, because of him, I know how to love and support your pet in the best way possible. I’m currently attending Chapman University, but my schedule isn’t too busy. I most likely cannot do same day appointments, but 2-3 days notice would be much appreciated! However you take care of your dog, I will too. I want to make the space as comfortable and safe as possible and become a trusted pal of your lil (or big!) best friend.
