Dog Walking Washington Square

About: I know how to groom all type of dog hair if you like. They will love all the adventures we will go on. They will always feel welcomed and cared for at all times. I will shower them if you ask. Would love to take care of any dog. I do not mind picking up after them, that is my job. I always have treats and chew toys with me. I will always be available for them when you need me there. Holidays included as well. Will play with them for as long as they want(tummy rubs included). Planning to go to college to learn more about taking care of dogs full time soon. Will always go home satisfied with a full tummy and with a smile on their face. I am currently working a part time job. I do not work much so my availability is very open. My job fluctuates week by week but will always let you know ahead of time. I have a fenced home. My home is also pretty big so very spacious for any pets. I also live in a quiet neighborhood so they will not have to worry about loud sounds.

About: Hi there, I’m Carissa! My deep love for animals began at a young age, as I grew up sharing a crib with a lively orange tabby who was always watching over me. Right now, I have a sweet tabby boy named Torito. My beloved childhood dog, Pepper, passed away last year after a long battle with heart disease and I'm learning to adjust to her absence day by day. I’m eager for more furry companionship and have lots of love to give!  ° 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ₒ 𐐪𐑂 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 ° Over the years, I've cared for stray and feral cats in my backyard, as well as cats and dogs of all ages, some of whom have had various health conditions such as heart disease, arthritis, thyroid disease, anxiety, deafness, blindness, and mobility issues. I've rescued and rehomed stray dogs to loving forever homes on multiple occasions. As a teenager, I volunteered as a weekly cat tender at PetSmart and Petco for two years, which gave me a ton of great experience working with cats of all ages and personalities! I understand trusting someone with your cherished companion can be difficult, which is why I'll provide you with regular updates, including plenty of pictures and videos, so you can feel connected to them while they're in my care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my number one priorities, and I can guarantee that they’ll be in the best care with me ૮ • ﻌ - ა⁩ ⟢ Please note: I only service dogs under 50 lbs, non-reactive/non-aggressive animals, and fixed animals! ⟢ Hablo español. I’m currently doing Rover part-time so I have a fairly open schedule…weekdays or weekends - I’m your girl! I typically work part-time Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday but can accommodate your request before or after my shifts. I have full availability on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. My inbox is open and attended to from 8am to 7pm. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask about my availability as it can vary! I would love to get to know you + your furry friend and make them feel happy and comfortable while you’re away! ₊˚⊹♡ ⟢ For drop-ins/house sitting: If you have specific covid precautions, please let me know and I’ll be happy to accommodate. Meet-and-greets must be scheduled PRIOR to booking to ensure that we are a good fit for one another. As a safety concern, I am not comfortable with indoor cameras and request that you disclose of any prior to booking a house sitting. I also water plants and make sure packages/mail are brought inside safely. ⟢ For walks: I prioritize safety with leashed walks and only take dogs to fenced areas for off-leash play when asked. I work with one client’s animals at a time rather than doing large group walks so your pup will have my full attention!

“Andrea is a amazing sitter and dog walker. My dog and cats love seeing her. She's caring, detail oriented, and just plain loves these animals. She even left a thank you card for us, highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs from newly born to close to reaching 20 and I have and always will do it with a heart full of love. I have always grown up around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds and am now studying to become a veterinarian. I am currently searching for a job so I have plenty of time to care for dogs on the side until then, and I have a completely open schedule for the summer! I have experience dog sitting overnight as well as dropping in for walks and potty breaks, I know how to handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, as well as crate trained dogs, and on top of that I’ll make sure to leave your house nicer than before!

About: Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet! I do project based work from home so I'm present and not tied down to a rigid schedule which means I have the time and flexibility to give your pet attention when needed. I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.

“Thanks Rebecca! Rebecca did such an amazing job! Rocket and Benji misses her already! Love all of the detailed info from the walk and how you took care of them by wetting the dog run area and giving them extra water.”

About: Hi, I’m Marcy! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life and absolutely love spending time with animals. I’m a very active person, so your pup will enjoy plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I live in an apartment community with a fenced dog park and lots of safe walking paths, making it a great place for dogs to get exercise. I’ll follow your pet’s feeding schedule, potty routine, medication instructions (if needed), and any special care requests exactly as provided. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I am available all day so I’ll give your pets all the love and attention and walks and plays they need ! I am available for sitting and boarding anytime of the week and weekend ! About My Home Welcome! I live in a modern high-rise apartment on the 4th floor in a pet-friendly community. Our complex features a spacious dog park and plenty of safe walking paths, making it a great environment for dogs to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. My apartment has a secure, fenced-in balcony that is pet-safe, so your furry friend can relax safely while staying with me. I’m a very active person who enjoys walking every day, so if your pet loves walks, I’d be happy to include them in my routine. Whether your pet prefers long walks, short potty breaks, or extra playtime, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll carefully follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, routines, and any special requests. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I think a little backstory helps: every pet I have is a rescue! Whether from the streets, a shelter, or the "animal distribution network," I seem to be the person random animals flock to for help. My home includes two dogs (a senior Australian Shepherd/Pit/Chow mix and a 3-year-old Chiweenie mix), two rescued cats living in the lap of luxury, and a bearded dragon I saved from under a bush last year. My 5 babies all adore each other and love a giant cuddle party! I’ve been around dogs and cats since I was 6 years old in multi-pet households, so I’m comfortable with all ages, breeds, and life stages. My Approach to Care: - Patient & Animal-Led: I let pets guide our interactions and get comfortable with me at their own pace. - Enriching Walks: I completely believe in letting dogs take their time to get all their sniffs in, because walks are their time! - Full Service & Light Grooming: I’m happy to wipe paws/ears, brush coats, brush teeth, and handle any cleanups, accidents, or normal pet debris so your home stays fresh. Mostly, I just genuinely love spending time with animals and would be honored to care for yours! I currently have the entire summer off, so I am incredibly flexible schedule-wise (including weekends) and can work with you on timing and availability. I'm just happy to help! Animals set the pace in my care. Whether meeting a new dog or visiting a shy cat, I never force interactions. I read animal body language carefully, giving pets space to approach on their own timeline so they feel completely safe and secure in my presence. Safety First on Walks & Visits: - Enriching & Secure Walks: Dogs are kept securely on-leash at all times. Walks are centered around their comfort and sniffing enrichment, avoiding hot pavement during summer heat and maintaining safe distances from unfamiliar dogs or hazards. - In-Home Security: I am meticulous about home safety, ensuring doors, gates, and windows are completely secure before and after every visit. - Emergency Preparedness: Having rescued and cared for animals with special health needs (including senior pets and kittens recovering from illness), I am calm under pressure, observant of any subtle changes in behavior or health, and quick to act if an issue ever arises. I care for your home with the same respect I treat my own multi-pet household. During visits, I handle all feeding, fresh water resets, and litter box or accident cleanups without hesitation. I'm also happy to wipe muddy paws, sweep up scattered litter, or run a quick vacuum over high-traffic entryways so you always return home to happy pets and a fresh space.

About: I’m a dependable and strong woman who’s comfortable with bigger dogs, but gentle and patient with smaller ones. I’m not a professional trainer, but I pay attention to dogs and can usually tell when they’re feeling scared, stressed, or unsure. I also stay aware of my surroundings on walks to help keep every dog safe. I do work a full time M-F 9-5 and have a dog of my own. So I’m only available weekends for now I will follow any instruction, no matter how unusual, lol. Feeding, walks, routines, if it’s leaving the tv or music on or warm up a heat pad, etc, whatever you need—so your pet feels comfortable and taken care of.

About: I’m the person that tries to find the pet at the party. I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats for several years! I’m happy to help you with your child whether it’s taking a walk to the park, needing a potty break, or just overall attention while you’re away for the holidays! I'm currently a full-time student and work remotely allowing me to have more time to look after your loved ones! I have a lot of flexibility if needed. If you have any special requirements for your pet such as administering medicine, feeding, and all of the above, I will make sure to provide that based on your request! Other examples: Do they get along with other animals (dogs/cats)? Do they require going for a run?

“Shea has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Harley. From the very beginning, her communication has been excellent, she provides detailed updates after every walk along with photos, which I genuinely look forward to reading each day. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. Harley is very comfortable with her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. Shea goes above and beyond, not only with her attentiveness and reliability, but also through thoughtful gestures like the personalized magnet she made for Harley, which was such a nice surprise. I’m incredibly grateful we found her and will definitely be working with her again. I highly recommend Shea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog walker.”

“Naomy was super flexible in helping us regarding the walk. Yuna was happy to see her upon her arrival and really enjoyed the walk. Would definitely book Naomy for many upcoming walks and recommend her for others!”

“This was our first time issuing any kind of dog walking service so of course we were a little nervous however I felt instantly comfortable with Yuki from the first moment we met! Both our babies, Jax and Nala went right up to Yuki to check her out and she got the nod of approval from both! We were gone for a week and had Yuki come by for daily walks and it has been great! I’m so relieved to know if we’re ever going to be gone during the day we have someone we can trust with our babies! Thank you Yuki!!!”

About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs and love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and little quirks. 🐾 As a proud Lab mix parent, I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their humans are away. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, extra patience, or just a little companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and at home. I currently have open availability with a flexible schedule, allowing me to check in on your pets up to three times a day and spend as much time with them as they need, whether that’s a quick visit, extra playtime, or simply some companionship while you’re away. I care for pets in the client’s home so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During visits, I follow all care instructions including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, medication (if needed), and any specific routines. I also provide attention, playtime, and companionship based on each pet’s needs, along with a basic wellbeing check each visit. I make sure pets are safe and comfortable before leaving and send updates with photos and notes after each visit.

About: I have a 12 year old chihuahua. I’ve had her since she was 2 months old and she’s still with us. She’s now blind so there are adjustments we do to best suit her in our house. I take pride in my adaptability and desire to connect with each pet individually to meet their needs. Hi there, I’m currently a student at Cal State Fullerton. I work part time with the Boys and Girls club as a mentor Coach therefore my schedule is flexible. I really appreciate detailed information. I am always open to adjusting my approach to any routine that best fits your pets needs. It’s a case by case manor.

“Avancon was punctual, friendly and communicative! He instantly bonded with our Great Dane.”
