About: I currently have a Great Pyrenees and a tiny little Papillion/Chihuahua mix, both rescues, whom I love more than life itself. So when I say big or small, I mean it! I have a flexible schedule so last minute requests can usually be accommodated I currently work part time and the hours are fairly flexible. This means I’m usually available at the last minute if something pops up or there’s an emergency I’m pretty detailed so I appreciate when owners leave a list or have specific requests. However, if you prefer a more laid back approach, that’s fine too. Whatever keeps your dog happy & safe!
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I've cared for my own dogs from playful puppies to their senior years, giving them love, structure and companionship every day. Although I'm new to offering pet care professionally, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family member. I'll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness and attention I'd expect for my own, providing a safe, comfortable and loving home while you're away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day to supervise, provide companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. I'll follow your dog's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away, and I'll treat your dog like a member of our own family.
“My dog absolutely loves Nora! She waits by the door when she knows it’s getting close to her walk time. Nora is great at communicating and very kind to my dog. I have already hired her again for another set of walks and will definitely continue to use her in the future!”

About: I’ve had three cats almost my entire life, and have watched friends’ and neighbors’ cats so I am well versed in making sure they have the care they need!

Please let me know what care your animals need in your home and I’ll follow it to a T.
“Wen has been an amazing dog walker! She took care of my two frenchies. She made sure they got plenty of exercise and water when they got back.

About: I have been taking care of dogs under a company named Happy Tails back in my hometown of Colorado for the last five years, and have owned doggies my entire life :). I’m currently only working part time as a caregiver for the elderly, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets! I love and enjoy time spent with pets so it doesn’t even feel like work to me :), especially as outside of work I love to spend my time outside as much as possible, such as volunteering at our local farm, going to the beach, and going on hikes. I have a smaller house that’s cozy and home to cat of our own, alongside a fenced in small backyard. We keep the house quite clean too!
“Abigail has been one of the walkers that has helped our family by walking my mother's dog, Camellia, while my mother recovers from surgery. Abigail has been flexible and accommodating as our schedules have changed. More importantly, Abigail is good with Camellia and it is clear that Camellia enjoys her walks with Abigail.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always been known as the animal lover in my family and friend group. I’ve had more than seven dogs of my own over the years, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m also the person my friends and family call when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. I’ve cared for multiple dogs in my home and have experience with potty training and teaching basic commands. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking them outside, playing with them, and making sure they receive plenty of attention. I’m available during the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in home and a clean, secure yard where dogs can safely get fresh air, play, and take potty breaks. I keep a clean environment and make sure pets are supervised and have a comfortable space to relax. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs. Most importantly, I treat every pet in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals, especially dogs, since I was 9. I love animals and have sat for various types of pets— occasionally I will also get help from my lovely boyfriend. I’m currently a student attending college and I love animals. I’m super flexible and can find time on any days needed if it is possible.

About: I love dogs. I treat dogs as if they were children in our home. I have watched our friends' and neighbors' dogs for more than a decade. When I have my dog, Hamper, I walk him at least 3 times a day. One short walk, one medium walk, and a long walk in the nearby park. Our yard is fenced and we have a doggie door if dogs are capable of going in and out themselves. The yard is large enough to play catch and to roll around.
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I have always had a dog in my home and learned from a young age how to love and take care of animals. I have also dog sat for family, friends and neighbors multiple times. I absolutely adore dogs and I can guarantee you that your pup will be in great hands! I am a freshman currently attending Orange Coast College playing on the women's basketball team. I have practice from 7am - 10am and classes until 3pm on Mon/Tue/Wed/Thurs.

About: I've always lived with a dog, and by always I mean since I was born. I currently have a 12 year old pitbull that I've had since he was 3 WEEKS OLD! He is now a senior citizen, which has been my favorite phase thus far. I’ve had plenty of other dogs, and I get to know each dogs personality. Just like humans, every dog is different. Age and breed have a lot to do with it as well. I know that younger dogs require more energy to burn with play and walks, and senior dogs want to be included and require us to be patient with them. 🥹 regardless dogs make me happy, and would love to be the one to help take care of your fur babies because they have needs and feelings too. I'm currently working remotely at my own schedule, so for the time being, Im pretty much available any day of the week. As a pet owner myself, I understand the need or even last minute need to look after our pets. I will respect the rules of the pet owner's home and their preferences when it comes to taking care of their pet. I may give cool aunt energy, but I will always make sure that what parents say goes.
“Nicole was amazing! She’s so sweet and loving to my boys! We have a local park and they loved walking with her and she took time to play with Mikey when he had a few sad days.

She even offered to feed my little Berta fish! Thanks Nicole!!!”

Sydney has been amazing with our baby! Our dog is getting old, and needs some extra care. Sydney stayed with him each time to make sure he had all his meds, his care, even hand fed him to make sure he was good and happy. I cannot be more thankful for Sydney who cared for him more than expected.
Mia took excellent care of my dog Raiken when she came to check on him and let him out while I was at work. It’s obvious Mia is an animal lover with a lot of experience being around pets and caring for them which is so comforting as a pet owner. She is also a great communicator and very responsible. I will absolutely have Mia back again and I know Raiken can’t wait to see her! Thank you Mia!
Rylan, thank you so much for walking Bruno, he had a wonderful time! Bruno says, "Thanks for letting me stop and snuffle, that's the best part of walking!" I also appreciate that Rylan started walking Bruno a little early, since Bruno and I arrived at the park a little early. 😎👍🏻
I had a great experience with Isabella! She arrived right on time and was very personable from the start. My dog can be a bit timid with new people, but she was wonderful with her — patient, kind, and clearly experienced. Willow returned happily tuckered. I really appreciated the thoughtful feedback Isabella shared after their walk, too. I’d definitely hire her again!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Villa Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
