Local know-how pays off in Irvine
Irvine has a dry Mediterranean climate with about 13 inches of rain a year, nearly all of it between December and March. August afternoons run in the mid-80s Fahrenheit while winter days sit around 68. Summer walks work best early morning or after 6 p.m. to keep dogs off hot pavement, and the long dry stretch means most routes stay walkable year round.
When demand peaks
Demand climbs when UC Irvine empties out over summer and winter breaks and students travel home, leaving dogs needing walks and drop-ins. Family vacation season from June through August and the Thanksgiving-to-New-Year holidays drive the heaviest boarding and daycare bookings.
Know your Irvine areas
Most cat bookings cluster Woodbridge to the Great Park. Owners book the sitter who can reach them quickly for a daily visit, so the areas you list matter more than the distance you are willing to travel.
Bilingual owners book faster
Irvine has large Mandarin-speaking and Korean-speaking communities, so a walker who can message clients in either language reaches households other sitters miss.

California does not license pet sitters or dog walkers at the state level. The City of Irvine does require a city business license (Code of Ordinances Section 1-18-101) before you conduct business, including home-based pet-care work, with an annual renewal. Under the Irvine Municipal Code, any dog on public property must be restrained by a leash no longer than six feet, under the charge of a person able to control it. Pet-care earnings are self-employment income, reported on Schedule C against the platform's 1099.
