“Damien was extremely response upon first contact. He was friendly, answered all my questions and was very attentive to our needs. We used Damien for dog walking services over the holiday and even accommodated our last minute request, which helped put our minds at ease. He sent us pictures so that made us feel comfortable as well. We will definitely be using Damien in the future!! Thank you ”

“Diane is ah-mazing!!! Her gentle and caring approach to my pups really helped put them at ease and me too! I trust her taking care of my babies and makes my days easier when I know she is visiting them. Most importantly my pups love her and fast on becoming friends. I highly recommend her and have told all my neighbors! She is very accommodating and responds right away to your messages. She is the best!!”

— Elaine L. Irvine, CA

“Brian was just the greatest!!! He came and met Mia first and they connected right away. It is very obvious that Brian just truly loves dogs. He sent me so many pictures and emails with updates on my little Mia. I will continue to use Brian for all my upcoming travels. I highly recommend him!”

I provide a leisurely walk when I am walking my own dog since he is a bulldog, however I am willing to adapt to whatever the dogs needs are. I am able to walk two dogs at one time and my boyfriend is also available to walk two at one time as well. We usually walk around the lake and then back home which is about two miles.

I am a runner, so if you have an active dog that needs to burn off energy, I can come take him or her on a run.
In other cases, I like to take my dogs and dogs I am sitting out in the morning and then out again in the afternoon depending on the weather. If it is too hot I will wait until night time.

Walks are catered to your pets' needs and the weather. While you're away, we can leisurely stroll or have an active walk or jog around the neighborhood, park, on the beach; sit for a spell and watch a soccer game; walk Fashion Island or The Spectrum; whatever your pet is familiar with and makes them happy! Rates may vary.

I have walked multiple dogs throughout my adult life but am just as comfortable walking one, two, three or more at a time :)

All dogs are walked with the goal of giving them the stimulation and exercise they need while letting them know that I am the Pack-Leader. I am very interactive, calm, firm and loving during our walks and that translates into a happy and secure pet. I take photos during all walks that I then relay onto you at the end of each walk so you can feel close to your beloved friend. Along with your photo/s you will get a brief summary of our walk including energy level and stool condition. I am watchful for any 'trigger' dogs and I am Coyote Tested: I carry a Whistle and Air Horn and always stay in firm control. I am expert in walking very large dogs (I have owned an Irish Wolfhound) as I am with small dogs. I always maintain leash control while still letting your dog enjoy the sights and sounds of the great outdoors!

I am able to take leisure walks to a park or around a few blocks. I have owned 5 dogs at once and was able to take all 5 on walks all at once. So, multiple dogs are possible.
I've also taken dogs to the Huntington Beach dog beach as a way to make them more social.
I generally like to take walks for about an hour or two just because it allows to go to more interesting places and explore.
When I go to the parks with dogs, I take water and food to keep them hydrated.

A combination of leisurely n active. Like the dog to accompany me during my morning walks. Also, my kids really love dogs and would like to walk the dog with me. My son is really active. He would like to play outside with the dog on a daily basis. The morning walks would be with me only but most likely, we would like to take him/her out togather in the afternoon, we live in an area where there are many parks and nature trails.

Leisurely for senior dogs as they are probably not as active as younger dogs. for the younger pups and dogs I would speed up the pace and start to have a jog for them for whoever long the time interval being charged. I usually only walk one dog only as multiple dogs is a little too much as leashes can get tangled and can cause a lot of problems. Walking dogs I will be accommodating if they do have pee or poop I will clean up after them and take them on routes with a good amount of space on the road.

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Irvine

  1. Look for a dog walker who has passed a background check.
  2. Ask a DogVacay dog walker for a free Meet-n-Greet. Take your pet for a short stroll in Irvine, letting the dog walker hold the leash. You’ll know quickly if this is the right person for your pet.
  3. Then visit your home with the dog walker, so your pet becomes comfortable with this person in the dog’s territory.
  4. Make plans for letting the DogVacay dog walker into your home. Some people may feel comfortable providing a key. Others keep a key in a combination lockbox. Many people use smart locks and programmable key codes.
  5. Discuss the length and route of the walk in your neighborhood in Irvine. Cover what kind of updates you want (such as a “bathroom” log or behavior notes).
  6. Explain what your treat policy is after a walk. Keep treats safely stored, and let the dog walker know where to find them.
  7. Make sure your pet has the right harnesses, collars, leashes and equipment for a safe and fun walk.
