Dog Walking Walnut Village

About: I have cared for animals for most of my life, including my beloved Chihuahua for nearly 18 years. I was with her through every stage of life—from puppyhood to her senior years when she needed extra patience, medication, and specialized care. That experience taught me how important consistency, attentiveness, and gentle handling are. Over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Your pet's safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I offer walks and drop-in visits for puppies, adults, seniors, and pets with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, reinforcing established routines, and adapting to each pet's individual temperament and energy level. I encourage owners to provide as much detail as they'd like about their pet's routine, preferences, and quirks. My goal is to make your dog or cat feel as comfortable and secure as possible while you're away by keeping their routine familiar and predictable. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet in someone else's care. Trust means everything. I strive to provide calm, one-on-one attention, reliable communication, and thoughtful care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. What sets me apart is my long-term experience as a pet owner, hands-on experience with puppy training and senior care, patience, careful observation, and my commitment to treating every pet with the same kindness and respect I gave my own. Pet care fits into my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure reliable feeding, walks, check-ins, and focused one-on-one attention without rushing or stress. I treat my clients’ homes with care and respect, follow all instructions closely, maintain a safe environment, and focus on making pets feel calm, secure, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 8 years and have always been an animal lover. I’m experienced with walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping pets comfortable with their normal routines. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I also love sending owners updates and photos so they can feel completely at ease while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I keep my schedule flexible so I can give each pet the time and attention they need. For boarding, I currently accept short stays of 2–3 nights only. I’m also available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and always make sure pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and routine instructions and never take unnecessary risks. I keep pets supervised, use leashes as instructed, and can keep animals separated in my home when needed. I also send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 20 years. We were a dog foster family for a year until we failed completely and adopted our dog. Recently trained puppy last year. Our dog is super friendly. Your dog must be good with children. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. Your pup won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love. I take my own dog to the park often, so I’m used to making exercise and outdoor time part of our daily routine. Boarding dogs will have opportunities for walks, play, and potty breaks as needed based on their individual routine and energy level. My goal is to keep your dog comfortable, active, and happy while they’re staying with us, while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible. When your pet stays in my home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they are part of our family. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise throughout their stay. I’ll take your dog on daily walks and give them plenty of time to enjoy our yard, where they can safely roam, explore, and play. I also have a friendly pet of my own who can be a fun playmate for dogs who enjoy companionship. My kids absolutely love animals and enjoy helping care for dogs, so your pet will have lots of loving attention and interaction. I’ll also make sure each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs are respected. My goal is for every pet who stays with us to have a happy, fun, and comfortable home-away-from-home experience while you’re away!

About: I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals! Whether it’s family, friends, or neighbors, they trust me to look after their pets, and I’d love to do the same for you! I work full-time remotely, which gives me lots of flexibility to care for your pet throughout the day. I have plenty of time to play with your puppy, take walks, and ensure they’re well taken care of. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, so whether it’s a short visit or a longer stay, your furry friend will get all the love and attention they need while you’re away! I have a furry dog of my own, so I’m used to keeping a consistent routine. The first thing I do each morning is to take him outside for a potty break, followed by regular meal times and three daily walks. When caring for your pet, I follow a similar routine, making sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime and attention, along with regular potty breaks. Your pet will feel right at home with lots of love and care.

“We had a great experience with Holly this week! Holly was very punctual and courteous, and our dog Juju was excited to see her! I appreciated her updating me during Juju’s walks.”

About: Hi, I’m youhua I’m someone who puts patience and care into every moment I spend with pets. For the past five years, I’ve often helped my friends look after their dogs and cats, so I’m very familiar with their routines, habits, and body language — I can easily tell when they’re hungry, anxious, or just want some love and playtime. I always arrive on time for every service, make sure each walk is safe and enjoyable, provide fresh water and clean-ups, and send plenty of photo and video updates so you can feel at ease even when you’re away. I live in the Northwood community in Irvine, surrounded by several beautiful parks that are perfect for daily walks. I have a gentle personality and a calm energy that helps soothe nervous pets, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s schedule. I look forward to becoming a trusted temporary family member for you and your beloved furry friend. 🐾 I am usually at home. I go to the gym for an hour each time, and the rest of the time I am basically at home. I think I have a lot of time to take care of the dog. I have a fenced garden and I believe they will be safe in it. I also like to drink coffee in the sun in the garden, and I can play with them.

“Jasmin is wonderful. She watched my dog Malbec while I was on a weeklong trip. She sent us updates and great pictures every day being so easy to coordinate with as well. Thank you so much for sharing some love to our furry baby those Xmas days.”

About: Hi, I'm Amyra! 😊 Animals are my pride and joy. I have done numerous amounts of professional and volunteer work with animals including horses. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, and of many different backgrounds. With that being said, I have some experience with aggressive and reactive dogs as well. Winning an anxious dog over is my specialty. I'm very good with puppies and kittens, and to be honest, I tend to baby any animal regardless of how old they are. I have worked with sick dogs who frequently needed to be groomed and cleaned up due to medical issues. I've worked with many blind and deaf dogs as well. I have worked with cats very closely at multiple animal shelters. I also have experience with special needs cats with cerebellar hypoplasia which is much like the cat equivalent of cerebral palsy. So if your pet has any special needs, there will never be an issue. I'm very flexible, I have a great love for animals, and I can provide you with the best quality of care for your pets who I like to refer to as "fur babies" seeing as they're practically family members. Also, my boyfriend who has a Rover account as well often splits bookings with me when we get busy, so if it ever says I'm booked you may still reach out for him! We are both certified and trained in Pet First Aid by the American Red Cross. Additionally, he has landscaping experience and I have housekeeping & organizing experience so if you need your house cleaned, plants watered, or lawn mowed for longer stays we provide that as well. We have also taken care of our client's pools for longer stays, so you can rest assured that your home will be in perfect condition from every aspect when you return from your trip. I work remotely as a paralegal so I have plenty of time on my hands to spend with your pups! I'll treat your pets like they're my own and provide them with the most love. I can provide plenty of walks, and even a run or two throughout the day if needed as well. Check out my Facebook page Amyra Khair's Pet Care to follow along on my petsitting adventures! Every animal I watch receives tons of love no matter what! I can also provide references upon request. My boyfriend and I just moved to the area from New York where we have been petsitting professionally for 6 years. We've had the pleasure of watching over 50 adorable pups and kitties. With the both of us, your pets will definitely recieve plenty of love! If for any reason your pet doesn't like men, I'm available on my own as well. We currently share a vehicle so I like for people to meet him as well.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 20. Roommates, family and friends have relied on me to help with training, walks, cleaning litters, etc. I’m currently working full time as a telehealth therapist, but I’m available throughout the day and nights as needed. I’m available any time on the weekends. My roommate currently has 1 cat and feed him and clean out his litter any time she is out of town. I also play with him throughout the day and provide loads of snuggles. I am also a pretty good dog .

About: I adopted my Toy Poodle when he was just one month old, and I raised him for a year before transitioning his care to my sister, who is now his primary owner. He is currently around a year old, fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. He is super friendly, energetic, and very affectionate with people. He is house-trained, used to regular outdoor potty breaks, and enjoys daily 20-30 minute walks. He gets fed twice a day with dry kibble mixed with warm water and has no special dietary restrictions or major separation anxiety, though he can get a little excited around mealtime. So I study my online course at home so I have free time to do pet care like this, I can do 7 days a week When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining their normal daily routine to keep them stress-free. I follow all feeding schedules, medication needs, and potty routines exactly as instructed. I make sure they get plenty of exercise through regular walks and playtime, along with lots of attention and affection. I also respect your living space, keeping feeding areas clean, securing doors and gates, and sending regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind while away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities — from energetic puppies who need playtime and structure, to senior pets who deserve gentle patience and extra care. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort zone, so I always take the time to learn their quirks, signals, and favorite things. Whether it’s early morning walks, medication reminders, or snuggle sessions on the couch, I treat every furry friend like my own. Safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. What sets me apart is my attentive communication and genuine love for animals — I send regular photo updates, follow owner instructions carefully, and make sure each pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. If your pet needs special care (puppy training, senior support, or daily medication), I have hands-on experience and will ensure they get personalized attention. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day — whether it’s quick potty breaks, playtime in the yard, or cozy naps together. Evenings are for longer walks, cuddles, and winding down before bedtime. On weekends, I love taking dogs on local trail walks or to pet-friendly parks for some extra fun and stimulation. Every day, I make sure your pet feels cared for, safe, and loved — just like they would at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces for play and rest. I keep food, cleaning supplies, and other items safely out of reach, and ensure constant supervision during playtime or outdoor breaks. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I always respect your space and follow your instructions carefully — from feeding routines and walking routes to any special care details. I take extra steps to keep doors and gates secure, and I never bring unfamiliar pets without your approval. Cleanliness, consistency, and clear communication are key. You’ll always receive photo or video updates so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every stay or visit feel safe, familiar, and full of love — just like home.

“Thanks for the dog walk! Ya-Chu did a great job and took so many lovely pictures of my dog.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 4 years, and I absolutely love spending time with them! I currently have a 1-year-old corgi who adores making new furry friends. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. Whether your dog needs extra snuggles, outdoor adventures, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them like part of our own family. I’m a virtual teacher, so my schedule is flexible, and there’s almost always someone home! My roommate works from home, which means your dog will always have company and never be left alone. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pup will always have someone to keep them happy and cared for throughout the day. I have a fenced yard friendly and a one-year-old corgi who loves making new friends! Your pup will have a safe, fun, and social environment while in my care. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own.

About: Hi everybody! My name is Bingbing but I go by Linda:) I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life(even before I was born!) and have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities🐶 I currently have a puppy who I’ve personally cared for every day since he was 2.5 months old, so I’m very familiar with the extra attention, patience, routines, and supervision that puppies need. We also used to have a German Shepherd who I took care of, so I have experience with dogs of very different sizes and personalities! I’m definitely a “helicopter dog mom” with my own dog, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, eating and drinking, bathroom habits, energy levels, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. I know how stressful it can be to trust someone else with your dog, so I’ll always follow your instructions closely, keep you updated, and treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give mine. I’m currently in college and taking mostly online classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m generally available after 10 AM and have plenty of time throughout the day to give your pet walks, playtime, attention, and care without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and can stay in their normal routine. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, crate, and household instructions closely, and I’m very attentive to behavior, energy levels, bathroom habits, and anything that seems unusual. I also make sure doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings are secure at all times. I’m happy to send frequent photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“She’s trustworthy and great!! Will definitely book her again!!”
