Dog Walking Acorn-Acorn Industrial

About: I grew up with all kinds of family pets and including adopting my own puppy at 17. Since moving to Oakland I’ve been lucky to live with several cats and dogs of roommates of all dispositions (both the roommates and their pets) and now my fiancée and I have a perfect baby angel cat son. I’m comfortable with puppies over 3 months old and mostly potty trained, I don’t mind mouthy or jumpy pups and am happy to discourage behaviors according to their training. I’ve had experience with palliative care for two beloved senior dogs that required a little extra help and care and am happy to show your old buddy patience and TLC. Happy to do easy walks around the block or take longer adventures in Oakland’s redwoods! For cats and dogs I am comfortable administering most medications. I’m currently on a long break from full time work and have open week day availability for walks and visits, and can be available weekends with extended notice Ask someone who always wants pictures of my cat, I am happy to send you as many photos of your pet as you would like! I have a keen attention to detail and an above average ability to follow instructions, and I’m happy to do things your way. I have a backseat dog hammock for my car that make sure dogs of all sizes are able to get comfortable.

“Devyn is absolutely amazing. She is great with dogs and always goes the extra mile. We really appreciate her expertise and care when taking care of our pup.”

About: Since I was 10 years old, I’ve always been in awe of animals and felt a deep appreciation for them. Growing up, I knew I wanted to do something that helped care for and protect them. I’ve always enjoyed helping family and friends take care of their pets—whether that’s walking them, helping bathe them, or simply keeping them company and making sure they feel safe and loved. While I’m new to taking clients through Rover, I’m responsible, attentive, and truly dedicated to giving every pet the care they deserve. You can rely on me to treat your pets with kindness, patience, and lots of attention while keeping you updated along the way. Im currently working and attend school part-time. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give pets the time and attention they deserve. I only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, and I make sure to communicate clearly with pet parents about my availability. While caring for your pets in your home I like to make sure that I’m following any instructions or rules that I’m given in your home. Whether that is cleaning, monitoring activities, and or simply making sure they’re safe. I make sure that I’m not only attending to your pets but also being considerate that I’m in your home and that I am respecting your space.

“I had Reijun meet my pup Petunia for a meet and greet and Petunia was immediately comfortable with them. We walked around the neighborhood and Reijun was great with her and understood some of her quirks. She is a natural with dog walking and I knew Reijun would be a great fit. I plan to hire them for more walks!”

About: I’ve had my husky mix kuro for 10 years and just recently got my baby cat loki! I absolutely love my babies, my main objective is for you to feel safe, comfortable and worry free while you’re away from your baby! Taking care of a husky mix and cat is a bit of a handful and definitely requires a lot of care and attention daily, luckily my roommate and best friend is there with me to watch and care for my babies when im busy! I’d treat my clients home with respect as if it were my own! I would care for their babies like I would mine! I want my clients to feel safe and comfortable when their babies are in my care!

“Great dog walker! Good with dog and reliable!”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since my teenage years. In the last decade, I have been the go to person in my community to dog sit and walk dogs due to my flexible performer and chef schedule, and in the last couple of years, I have also supported some of my loved ones senior dogs who have since transitioned. It is an honor to care for our furry loved ones, and I look forward to meetings your bundles of joy and taking them for neighborhood walks and to dog parks if they like those! I currently work part time so I am flexible during the day for drop ins and dog park visits. Happy to create a schedule that works with your needs. I am happy to support any dogs who experience separation anxiety by spending extended time together in the home, on hikes, or on walks. As a chef, if you are looking for support with preparing food for senior dogs or dogs in recovery, I would also be happy to support you there as well.

About: I've taken care of pets including: dogs, cats, birds, frogs, turtles, and tarantulas. I am a biologist by trade and have cared for a variety of live animals. I am extremely attentive to care instructions and well-trained in understanding an animal's wellbeing. I have a flexible schedule and work from home, so am available at a variety of hours for dog-walking and pet-care. I am a very active person and love to walk with dogs. I am comfortable with a variety of dog-in-home situations and am happy to follow any guidelines you prefer. I am able to lift heavier pets easily. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and cats, as well as those with challenging health conditions.

About: I have work with dogs my entire life, but currently I run a small dog daycare/boarding facility at my home with my husband so our sole focus is caring for our pups and we will happily give your pup all our love and attention! I’m responsible, respectful and very organized which allows us to run a safe and stable home environment for each one of our dogs. I’m available daily for dog walks, daycare and/or boarding. My current small daycare group is about 3-5 regular dogs that come on different weekdays. I’m a firm believer in clear, calm communication with any dog that I am working with and I only use positive reinforcement. My yard and entire property is fully fenced with a 6ft wood privacy fence and there is an extra gate between the front and back yards for extra safety. I’m available pretty much anytime for dog walk or boarding and I currently run a small group dog daycare in my home with my partner between the hours of 7:30am and 5:30pm Monday to Friday. My current group of regulars (that come varying weekdays) includes extremely well socialized dogs of all sizes most of which are between 3 and 6 years old. It’s a great environment for a dog to build social skills and confidence in a calm, well adjusted pack. I live in West Oakland (very close to the Bart station!) and my home and yard are very secure with a 6ft tall redwood fence surrounding the entire property. My yard is pretty large and great for off leash fun as it’s completely safe and secure. I live only with my husband and our two very friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loves every dog they has ever met. Oliver even has a way of making dogs that are usually not dog friendly play as if they were a puppy - it seems to be his super power! While Opal is just a love who is always ready for fun in the yard or cuddles on the couch.

About: I have always loved pets and will bring patience and care to yours while you are away. I enjoy the getting to know and make friends with your sweet fur baby I am available for over night stays. I work Wednesday thru Friday 1 pm to 9:30 pm and evening on Saturday 4pm to 12:30 am. Which leaves plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available for walks with flexible hours Sunday through Tuesday I especially enjoy evening walks. I can't care for pets in my home at this time. I would care and pet sit at your place where your pets have their own familiar surroundings.

About: I have extensive experience and a high comfort level with sensitive and reactive pets (both cats and dogs). If your cat is really shy, or your dog gets stressed by other dogs on walks, they’re a great fit for me. I’m highly attuned to the environment and know how to manage challenging situations. I’m also great with dogs that are highly food motivated and can ensure they don’t eat anything off the ground. My focus is always on creating a calm, safe, and attentive care experience for pets with special needs. My work shifts are typically only 6 hours long, so I’m available for visits before and after work. I can offer generous blocks of time every day to make sure your pet receives all the dedicated time they need. I am available for drop-in visits, house-sitting, and overnight stays. This allows me to provide your pet with the most low-stress experience possible as they remain in their familiar environment. I don’t own a car and am unable to host pets at my own home, but I am happy to spend as much time as needed at your residence and maximize the time spent with your pet within your local area.

“Agnes is great! The meet and greet went really well and she asked good questions to be as prepared as possible. She wrote detailed notes for the rover cards and took many photos during every walk. She took the time to play with my pup and engage with with. I highly recommend Agnes!”
