Dog Walking in Old City-Produce And Waterfront, Oakland

“Nicole is great! She is kind, thoughtful, and has bonded so well with my Nina. She’s been incredibly flexible given my work schedule, and working with her has been a pleasure. Highly recommend!”

“Sasha is an absolute gem with my two dogs! She is incredibly sweet, kind, patient, and follows directions well. My dogs are both on special separate diets and eating schedules and she followed them to a T! I can’t say enough good things about her and don’t feel I would need to look anywhere else anytime I need her services.”

“Jonathan and Chiel were awesome! Super respectful, prompt, and communicative. My dog loved them and they were so good with her. They took some great photos on their walk and I was relieved knowing she was in great hands while I was out of town on a trip. 100% recommend.”

“Tanitsha took care of our recently adopted dog who is still getting used to her new home and immediately made her feel very comfortable. Lots of live updates and cute photos from all three walks, and really prompt message replies. Will 100% be using her again - she is great!”

“I trust Rayschell immensely with the care of my dog Happy, I know she will love and care for your dogs just as well as she has for mine.”

“Kaitlyn is always at her best when she’s got dogs in her life. She understands the importance of the love and care that is needed to ensure they feel safe around her and the environment they are walking in. She is a disciplined walker that can be flexible to any sort of walk/care routine having had experience with both active and senior pets. She is responsible, attentive to details, and is a great communicator. Her customer service background allows her to adapt to the style of communication that you deem necessary. Most importantly, Kaitlyn is passionate about dogs; she loved them with all of her heart, and I think dogs sense that and love her back.”

“Lilly did a great job walking my jumpy, nervous, skidding dog. It took a while to warm up to her, but by the end, she was eating treats off her hand. So proud of my dog! And Lilly too for being so patient. Looking forward to using Lilly again!”

“April is thoughtful, communicative, reliable and a delight. She has been tremendous with my nervous little pup and I’m lucky to have found her. 11/10 recommend booking with her.”

About: I love cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes! I'll take care of them as if they were my own, and will gladly be a temporary replacement human for them while you are away! I can follow your directions and will always send pictures and updates to you frequently. If it's a longer stay, I will provide some polaroid pictures of some of my favorite pictures I took of your pet! As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it is to be away from your furry family! I can administer medications, and have a lot of experience with injections as well (my childhood dog had diabetes, and I administered the insulin shots). I'm more than happy to take extra care for special needs or pets with health issues! 🐶 DOG EXPERIENCE: I've cared for my dogs on my own for 8+ years, and I've worked with dogs of all temperaments, from shy & timid dogs to high-energy dogs to very reactive dogs. I am currently a mother to two dogs (one senior, one younger), so I have direct experience successfully managing multiple dogs on walks and at home. I also have a lot of experience with special needs and dogs with health issues, so I'm very comfortable administering medications and taking special care with dogs that have mobility issues. 🐱 CAT EXPERIENCE It's your cat's world, I'm just a guest in it! I've had the honor of taking care of amazing cats through Rover, and have taken care of cats for friends and family. I have experience managing a wide range of personalities, from high-energy to senior cats, from escape artists to extremely shy. I've also taken care of multiple cats, so I am very comfortable taking care of more than one and following special instructions for each. I will be in tune with your cat and will take it at the pace your cat decides. Your cat's the driver! I know how to engage in fun play sessions with your cat, and will make sure they feel enriched and happy after the visit! More info on my experience with each service: 🐕 DOG WALKING - Reactive dogs: I have a lot of experience walking reactive dogs. My recently adopted dog Stella was extremely reactive before I trained her, so I know how important it is to be in tune with your reactive dog on a walk and have eyes on your surroundings at all times and an exit route if needed. Your reactive dog will be safe with me, and I will be sure to be aware of all the triggers! - Shy / Timid dogs: I have personal experience with super shy and nervous dogs, and your dog will be safe with me on the walks. I'll be in tune with your dog to make sure they feel confident and safe with me. - Leash pullers: My dog Louie is a former leash puller (it's amazing how strong a 15 lb dog can be!) before I personally trained him to stop pulling. I also have walked larger dogs (i.e. Chow Chow) that pulled on the leash, so I know how important it is to have an iron grip on those leashes! - Multiple dogs: I have two dogs of my own, so I know how to handle multiple leashes and how to manage more than one dog on a walk. - Large-size and extra-large dogs: I have walked large dogs at the shelters as well for friends, so I know how to walk with larger dogs, especially leash pullers! - Walking styles: I'll ask in any meet + greets to learn your dog's walking styles, I've walked them all! From the "must sniff every flower and plant and trash can" to leash pullers, I will cater my walk to your dog! 🐾 DROP-IN VISITS - Multiple pets (dogs or cats): I have personal experience with my two dogs and have had the honor to check in on homes with multiple cats, so I am completely comfortable navigating different pet personalities and special instructions! I'll make sure each pet is individually taken care of! - Litter box cleaning: I will provide litter box cleaning every visit (I like to do this so I can report back on any health issues your pet may be having!) - I don't mind doing a deep clean! - Cleaning bowls: I will clean your pet's bowls daily (or as directed) and can clean, refill, and program feeders as well. - Playtime and/or cuddles: If your pet permits, I'll make sure to squeeze in extra time for play or cuddles! If things are going well, and we're over our allotted time, I tend to stay just a bit longer to finish any play sessions (at no extra charge to you!) :) Bonding with your pet is more important than clocking out! I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, so I'll have plenty of time to provide care for your pet! Sometimes I have morning meetings, but I will always let you know if the timing doesn't work on my side. I have reliable transportation so I can travel to you! I will take care of your home, ensuring everything is safe and sound when entering and leaving. I can follow any special directions you have, and will provide regular updates throughout the service.

“Cera is an extremely caring and motherly figure when it comes to pets. She has a boxer pug mix of her own that she's been the sole caregiver of for several years, now. Cera stays very active with her dog, taking him on long walks daily, often socializing him at the park with her neighbors. Cera has a fun and playful attitude when it comes to hanging out with her dog. Cera would make a great pet caregiver.”

“Grace took care of our cat, Holly, and apartment while we were away for a week. She took excellent care of Holly and followed our instructions for feeding perfectly. Our cat has no teeth so she requires a little extra care around feeding. Holly really enjoyed Grace and we received many happy pictures of them cuddling. Grace also was house-sitting for us, and she did a great job at keeping our house clean and safe. Grace is very kind, communicative, and punctual. I highly recommend her for all your pet and house sitting needs!”

“Jay is the best with my two pups! super accommodating with my odd schedule, communicative and gets the best photos of them having a good time. Having jay has been a life saver for when I have to be in the office!”

“Crystal has been so helpful with multiple walks for my big bully mix Panda. She’s great with all his needs and very attentive. Thanks for getting our boy some fresh air and outdoors time while I work!”

“Alex is an exemplary pawrent, that provides endless love and care for their doggo. They even adjusted their lives to care for their dog's anxiety.”

“Anais is consistently punctual, helpful, and thinks critically about what might be beneficial for your pet. She is my go-to Rover partner and I never have to worry when she’s on the schedule to walk my dog!”

“Djibril was so good with our pups- even our little problem child! He was super easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures. Thanks for braving this weather to walk the boys!”

“We really appreciate Celeste. She has great communication and is super reliable. Plus, Vader loves her. 👏🏼💕”

“Viola is amazing with Pochi. She sends the best pictures during the walks and it's great to know your baby is in good hands. Definitely will (already have) request again! ??”

“Lauren is wonderful with pets. She not only takes care of their needs but will truly become their best human friend as she always aims to get to know them and their unique personalities. You will not be disappointed with her as your pet's friend and caretaker.”

“Grey Weaver has been a trusted dog and house sitter for me for many years. What sets Grey apart from most is his genuine care and commitment to take care of my dogs as if they were his own. He is always respectful of my home, and accommodating to my requests for the care of my animals. My dogs are my family, and there's no one I would trust more with my family than Grey.”
