Dog Walking in Adams Point, Oakland, CA

“Ashlyn was super communicative and good with my dog. I also appreciate her flexibility on change times for a cooler time of day during a heat wave. I will definitely hire her again next time I’m out of town.”

“Esteban is so fabulous. Super kind and friendly - our dog is all wagging tail when Esteban shows up. Would highly recommend him and plan to use him again and again!”

“Stephanie has been so great with my dog Maya. After starting a new job and moving to a new city, I didn’t have any support to help with my dog. Stephanie has been so helpful with all these changes. Maya can be a bit nervous around new people but she warmed up to Stephanie really fast and gets so excited to see her! Stephanie is so great- she is a very reliable person, trustworthy, a great communicator and great with dogs. I’m so happy I found her and that Maya really enjoys her company!”

“Hannah “JoJo” is such a bright, loving energy. She is so willing to work with any dog. I feel peace that she’s able to take my little buddy out for a walk daily. She is also really patient as my pup was nervous at first and has now opened up to her. She will work with any type of dog and make sure each and every one of them feels loved. Thanks for all the updates throughout the walks and being so communicative. Keep up the great work!”

“Christine came to the rescue on short notice to walk our foster dog while we were on vacation. She was patient, understanding and offered great care. Love the rover.com app and the report card feature! Christine clearly followed the protocol, gave informative daily feedback and put our concerns about leaving new foster pet at ease. Thanks Christine!”

About: I’ve been lucky to grow up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t at least one furry friend in my home. My pup, Ray Charles, and I truly enjoy the company of dogs of all sizes and personalities and foster on the side as well. To make sure everyone is comfortable, I like to arrange a friendly meet-and-greet before we set anything in stone. I work remote and have a lot of flexibility of schedule. Ray Charles and I spend our days exploring the beautiful parks and trails of the East Bay—and we’d be thrilled to have your pup join us for some fun walks and fresh air! Ray and I live in a cozy but spacious one-bedroom with a backyard, perched at the top of a hill in a safe, peaceful neighborhood that’s perfect for walks and outdoor play.

“Shelly did a great job with our needy little princess. Our dog can be shy with new people and get into trouble on walks but she handled it well and was very flexible with schedule changes.”

“Matt was excellent with our dog. Promote and punctual. The pictures should how much fun she was having with him. I would highly recommend Matt.”

About: Hello! My name is Ashley, and I recently moved to the beautiful city of Oakland and am offering my pet sitting services again! Over the years, I’ve had the joy of providing pet sitting in Hawaii, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago. I provide both dog and cat sitting, and I’ve had a love for animals since I was young. I first started offering pet sitting services while living in D.C. when I found myself without a furry friend of my own. Since then, I’ve gained experience caring for pets of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I currently work a part-time schedule, which makes me flexible with availability and responsive to your needs. Communication is very important to me—I’ll always keep you updated and follow any specific care instructions you provide. As a pet parent myself, I completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved companion in someone else’s care. That’s why I do everything I can to make both pets and their owners feel comfortable and at ease. Whether it’s enjoying long walks around Lake Merritt with dogs who love exercise, or curling up with a cat who just wants some company, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets are happy while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I am currently working a part-time schedule and can be very flexible with my availability, making it easy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. When walking dogs, I always make their safety my top priority—using secure leashes, keeping a close eye on surroundings, and making sure they get the right balance of exercise and care. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes, treating them with the same care I would my own. You can trust that your pet and your space will always be safe with me.

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and adopted my dog from a shelter in 2011 with a friend. Recently, I fostered (and adopted!) two black kittens who stole my heart. 🐶🐱 I’m reliable, flexible, and treat every pet like family—whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care. I can do overnights or drop-ins, and I have my own car, so getting to you is never a problem. Your pets will be safe, happy, and loved with me! ❤️ I’m available Friday evenings after 5 PM, all day Saturday, and Sundays until 3 PM—perfect for weekend getaways or a night out. I’m available Friday evenings after 5 PM, all day Saturday, and Sundays until 3 PM—perfect for weekend getaways or a night out. With my own car, getting to you is no problem, and you can count on me to keep tails wagging and paws happy! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to ensure consistency and comfort. This includes scheduled walks, feeding, refreshing water, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own, providing a safe, reliable, and loving environment.

“Lauren was awesome! I felt totally comfortable with my dog spending time with them while I was out of town, and was grateful for this as this was Tuna's first time being walked by a stranger. Lauren clearly new dogs and respected Tuna's boundaries while getting her what she needed in a way that she was comfortable. They were professional and adaptable and super supportive. Thank you, Lauren!”

Kimiko R.

“Very reliable and trustworthy! I can tell my lily (poodle puppy) loves her! She takes so much stress off my head! Very easy to communicate with and obviously great with dogs!”

About: Hello, thank you for considering my profile. I have taken a lot of responsibility caring for dogs since I was 13. What distinguishes me is that I genuinely care about pets’ mental and social development. For example, for my own dog, I give him a lot of time to sniff when we go on walks and snuffle mats to use because I know that they are good for his stimulation. I am very loving with pets. I hope that I can be there to give you a piece of mind that your pets are doing well while you’re on vacation. I am able to petsit both cats and dogs if you have both. I’m more than happy to send lots of photos! Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. I can provide services in the Oakland Adam’s Point area. Please feel free to send me a message to let me know what you’re looking for! I follow instructions well and can make sure that your pet is as comfortable as possible with me in your home. I will communicate with you whenever there is any issue so that you can be updated. I am not currently taking any pets into my home (boarding).

“Lauren does a fantastic job walking our 2 small dogs. She goes above and beyond every time she is with our dogs. She sends great pictures and updates as well.”

About: I grew up caring for my own family’s dogs (Boston Terrier and Boxer) for several years and have helped neighbors, friends, and partners with their pets ever since. I am currently between jobs so my schedule is very open. I hope to work with the community’s dogs at least a few times a week while I navigate this difficult career transition. I am an incredibly responsible, caring, and loving person. Your loved ones will be my top priority whenever they are in my care. Allergies and any other health conditions or special needs will be addressed exactly as per your requests.

About: I've spent pretty much my entire life around dogs and cats, and I just love them! We had several growing up and I can't express how much the presence of pets has had a positive influence on my life. Any time spent with other people's pets is something I look forward to! I pet/house sit regularly for a few friends and would like to offer my services to other people (and pets) in need of a sitter. I have experience with cats, and with walking, bathing, and dietary restrictions of dogs of all sizes and am more than happy to treat them as my own. Overnights are no problem and I have a vehicle so we can go to dog beaches etc. if permitted! Dogs are also more than welcome at my house hold if that's preferred. I'm currently self-employed, and this is my slow season. I have plenty of extra time to help folks with their pets, whether it be walking their dogs or drop-ins for feline companions. I have a fenced yard, and a large crate if needed for pets. I like to create a cozy calm space for them to get to know me and their environment.

“Tara took great care of Ivan.”

About: Passionate and reliable dog sitter with a deep love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Known for providing safe, attentive, and affectionate care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and administering medication if needed. Committed to keeping pets happy and owners worry-free with regular updates and personalized care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I schedule walks, feedings, and playtime consistently each day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet receives attention, love, and the care they need. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize their well-being while maintaining a balanced, pet-friendly routine. I care for pets by creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, whether in my home or a client’s. At home, I provide a secure space with plenty of room to play, regular walks, fresh water, healthy meals, and lots of affection. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine closely—feeding schedules, walking times, and any special instructions—to help the pet feel at ease. I also keep the home tidy, respect the space, and give regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“Absolutely fantastic dog walker! Jessica is great with my animals, always showing kindness and care. Punctuality is never an issue; they arrive on time without fail. Communication is a breeze, making it easy to connect and share updates. I feel completely trustworthy leaving my pets in her hands. Highly recommend”
