Dog Walking in Arroyo Viejo, Oakland, CA

About: Dogs aren’t just pets to me… they’re family. I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 plus years, and I truly love getting to know each pup’s personality, quirks, and favorite belly rub spots. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or more of a cuddle-on-the-couch type, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I can accommodate last-minute bookings when needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get lots of supervision, playtime, and companionship. 🐾 I take time to learn each dog’s routine, behavior, and any special needs so I can care for them the way you do. Whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, or giving them space when they need quiet time, I follow your instructions closely. If I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress. I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and will contact you right away if anything seems off. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and genuine love for animals and I treat every pet like they’re my own family member. 🐾❤️

“Megan has been a lifesaver for us! She is amazing with our doggies and is a wonderful person. She is the only person we trust with our dogs .”

About: Hi there! I am looking forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a very eager and fun animal professional who enjoys spending time with cats and dogs in both my work and personal life. I graduated with my BS in animal science and now work from home full time. I have owned pets my entire life and seen many of my pets from birth through their life cycle. I love interacting with pets of all sizes, and ages! I am extremely patient and do not at all mind the demanding nature of younger puppies. Additionally, I love being outdoors and there’s no better way to enjoy the day than with a furry friend. Never fret cat parents- there’s no discrimination here! I love cats equally as much! Cats and kittens alike offer so much in the way of affection and companionship. Feline playtime is essential and I am more than capable of keeping all of your kitties happy and entertained! Unfortunately my pups aren’t so fond so I’m limited to drop ins. My current schedule allows me to be available full time to schedule visits and walks. I have a lot of free time and would love to fill it with pet love! I love to play with pets in their preferred style! Getting down with some toys and treats is always on the agenda. Walks, jogs and good snuggles are never denied!

“Dora was wonderful to work with! She took great care of my dog Sassy, feeding her dinner and taking her for a walk on the days I needed to work late. She was very responsive to my messages and sent pictures of the walks. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. Thanks Dora!”

About: Have peace of mind when you leave your family in my care. I am a lifelong animal lover & pet owner. I am a responsible adult with great credit and integrity. I work remotely and I have a lot of freedom within my schedule, but my passion is working with animals. You can trust that I will communicate and treat your pets as my own, meeting their needs. I have a long and trusted history helping my family & friends with their pet care needs. From simple walks, short/long term care, training help and check ins. Being a pet owner myself, I understand the stress that comes with finding trusted care for our furry friends. I prefer to care for your family in your home to avoid any undue stress being in a new environment. Trust in me...& be happy. I work remotely. I am a Quality Assurance Specialist. Working from home allows near constant supervision. I go on 3 walks a day with my dog. I can work in your home as long as you have a good wifi connection. I prefer to watch in my client's home to avoid any extra stress and keep your pet comfortable while you are away. I can make some exceptions. When I watch in my home, I do have a fenced in yard and easy access for dogs with a dog door. I am great with communication and instructions. As a quality specialist I pay a lot of attention to detail and caring for your pets will be no different.

About: Gentle (or jumpy!) giants are my specialty. I’ve spent the last 15 years sharing my life with Bullmastiffs, Dogues de Bordeaux and Cane Corsos from puppyhood to passing. Medium dogs are great but the big boys and girls are my heart. All ages welcome. My home is 100% set up for dog life. I’m retired from my full-time career but still work very part-time as a CrossFit coach, and also workout daily. Mornings I’m at the gym but home between classes and all afternoon. I have time for potty in the morning and awesome walks in the afternoon. Of course, cuddle and play time included! I have a fully fenced back yard, a dog run for their business, and a big dog bed in my living room. I have plenty of sanitized toys. Basically my home is set up to share with dogs. Unfortunately, my last baby crossed the rainbow bridge last September so I’m taking this opportunity to care for yours.

About: I have always been around animals. I have taken care of friends dogs in the past and have 5 of my own between 9-15 yrs old with varying needs. I am a full time employee at a doggy daycare.

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life, I just feel like I naturally have a connection to animals and they bring me a lot of peace and joy. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’m a very reliable person if you guys ever need me! I just started working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available during weekdays and weekends for any services you need. I live in a gated apartment and there is barely too none dogs that live around the neighborhood and the ones who do are very friendly

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of different kinds. My love for pets have been for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I have personally cared for medium-sized dogs, specifically a German shepherd and Pitbull, and also 3 different cats. I recently have lived in a house with 5 pit bulls and helped walk, feed and bathe each one for over a year. I currently do not own a pet, but am itching to own one soon. For now, I am happy to assist in bringing comfort and joy into your pet’s life. Anything to help make a family's home easier is what I strive for. I am currently working full time, but have a flexible work schedule that can accommodate to feeding/walking times. I am looking for anyone interested in board & care at my home (limit 2 dogs), occasional overnight or drop in pet-sitting, dog walks, feeding and/or bathing care for your pet. I live in a house with a fenced yard. I offer a safe space to care for your pet. I live with my husband who is also a pet lover. It will help us get out of the house for necessary walks and overall care. Please let me know if your dog is friendly with other dogs as I can host up to two dogs at a time.

About: Dogs have been in my life since I was a kid, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs: • Gator, my grandma’s goofy orange lab, who loved carrying giant rocks and playing in the water. • A shar-pei with big “Stanley-from-The-Office” energy, who needed daily walks and, later in life, extra care with meals and medication. • My parents’ pitbull, who I raised from the puppy stage and helped train—my most challenging and rewarding experience! These experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs (and I think they can tell!). I am currently doing freelance work and studying from home which means If there is WiFi, I am more than happy to stay at a place to be attentive with the pet and also keep them company. When I care for a pet I make sure they feel safe with me in their home, I let them warm up to me and I make sure they know that I am a friend by giving them their favorite treat. I prefer to meet pet before hand. If it’s a dog I avoid other dogs on walks and even if encouraged or recommended, I do not take them to the dog park. When in my care I want them to be safe and I know that can get tricky with other pups so I avoid it all around.

About: I have done well at training puppies. I am a nanny and have been caring for kids and pets for 8 years. I love pets My work is more flexible so I'm able to attend pets at any time that is needed. I can take them out to hikes and parks. I'm very attentive.
