Dog Walking Berkeley

“James was wonderful with our dog. We have a very energetic and easily excitable dog and James is patient, punctual, and accommodating. Excited to hire him again.”

“Chandlor did a great job walking my two dogs - together and separately. They greeted him with enthusiasm and came back well exercised. You can tell he has dogs of his own & knows how to communicate with them. Thanks, Chandlor”

“Hollie did a great job walking Lyla and Daniel. They can be a handful (especially Lyla), and Hollie’s been kind and patient with them. Hollie’s punctual, communicative, and clear with me about what’s happening with the pups! I’m glad that she was able to spend some time with them!”

About: I grew up with Rottweilers and am trained as a level 3 out of 3 dog walker at the Alameda animal shelter. I have over 50 volunteer hours logged at the shelter and love working with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I’m here during the weekdays for drop-ins and walks! My availability is as follows: Monday afternoon, Tuesday flexible, every other Wednesday afternoon only, Thursday before 3PM, and Friday after 11AM. Located in Berkeley. My current place doesn’t allow pets so I am getting my fix through volunteering at the Alameda animal shelter and pet sitting for friends!

“Crystal was a great fur baby sitter - always on time. She managed our active German Shepherd easily, an was great about sending updates on her walks. I highly recommend her!”

About: I am a very responsible and attentive caregiver who truly loves animals. I focus on following owners’ instructions carefully, keeping pets safe, comfortable, and calm, and making sure they feel cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always willing to learn each pet’s unique routine and personality. I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure each pet gets proper attention, playtime, and care without being rushed. As a premed student, I’m trained to be detail-oriented and attentive to health, behavior, and routines. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and careful supervision at all times. I closely follow owner instructions, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or appetite, and maintain a calm, clean environment to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable.

“Really sweet, punctual, patient, super loving towards our dog.”

“Tanze has been great with our little Lou! Very attentive and sweet with him. Walked, fed, played with him while we were out. Thank you Tanze!”

About: I've loved animals for years and understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else's care. I'm attentive, gentle, and dependable, and I take the time to learn each pet's personality, routines, and preferences. I'm happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping your pet comfortable and happy. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. As a law student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my time around pet care. I'm happy to welcome pets into my routine throughout the week, including weekends, and I prioritize making sure each pet receives plenty of attention, care, and affection. I aim to maintain their usual routines while balancing my studies, so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. I take the time to understand each pet's needs, routines, and personality so I can provide attentive, personalized care. I maintain a clean, calm, and safe environment, follow feeding and care instructions carefully, and make sure pets have plenty of affection, playtime, and supervision. I also respect each owner's home and keep them updated so they can feel confident that their beloved pet is in good hands.

About: I have both an endless amount of patience for slower moving furry friends, as well as boundless energy for pets that need a little extra zoom to tire out! I have pet sat everything from rambunctious puppies and senior cats and dogs, to crested geckos and rabbits, so no animal is off the table! I have always loved and respected animals and I cannot wait to treat your pet like family! While I am on the job hunt, I have lots of free time throughout the day to walk your dog, hangout with your cat, and feed your pets! Depending on the service I'm booked for, I will arrive to your home ready for anything! I have shoes with great traction so I'm ready for an afternoon hike with your dogs, and I'm an avid reader so I'd be more than happy to hang on your couch with your cat for some snuggles! I have gone through some minor trainings at animal shelters for introducing myself to animals as well as training on what behaviors to recognize in dogs while out for walks to ensure a safe and fun time by all, so you can rest assured I will not put your pet into an uncomfortable situation while they are in my care. I am happy to follow all rules and guidelines you set for your home (I am usually a no-shoes inside kind of person so that rule will be followed regardless unless otherwise advised). And no need to worry about any additional "weird" requests on how your pet likes something done; I used to have a dog who wanted his dinner to be "cooked" on the stove or else he wouldn't touch it so nothing is too weird/silly for me to play along with. Overall I want your pet to have a pleasant and fulfilling time while spent with me and for you to have peace of mind while they are in my care.

About: I've been around all kinds of dogs my whole life and I've both witnessed and experienced the different ways dogs and humans learn to communicate with each other. I currently own a rescue terrier mix who is dog reactive (but he does his best), and with him I've had to learn so many new ways of making sure he gets to have adventures while still keeping him and other furry families safe. I am also a current volunteer with the East Bay SPCA Canine Care! I work part time, so I have time throughout the day, both during the week and on the weekends, to take your dogs out for a walk! I am comfortable walking dogs in their own neighborhoods as well as taking them out to the park. I always make sure to have high value treats with me and a solid recall before letting them off leash to explore when appropriate.

About: Hi, I’m Anny! Welcome to my page—I’m so glad you’re here! 🤗 I’ve had animals my whole life and truly believe they are family. As a Rover sitter for many years now and a lifelong pet lover, I really enjoy getting to know furbabies of all sizes and temperaments! ❤️ I focus on being a kind and consistent presence for your pet, making sure to reinforce your specific training style so they can stay in their familiar patterns while you’re away. Being a devoted owner of a large white German Shepherd, two senior cats, and a tripod kitten, I’m very comfortable with the "extremes" of pet care—from the energy needed for big breeds to the gentle, patient and specialized attention required for sweet, serene seniors. Currently a new grad at Cal, I treat my house-sits with a lot of dedication and care. ☺︎ A big bonus of booking with me is that I live with my sister and partner (also Cal students/alums and huge animal lovers!), so there is often an extra set of hands for play and an extra pair of eyes to ensure your furbaby almost always has company. We work together to keep our availability super reliable for recurring or last-minute needs—it’s actually been so fun watching several of our regulars grow up with us over the last 4+ years! Your pet's safety and your home's security are my absolute priorities. I love finding out about each pet's unique personality and even the "mischief" they like to get into so I can support them best. I also have an SUV with a dog seat extender, so I’m all set for safe trips to the park or vet visits if needed. I love taking photos of all the babies I care for, so you can expect your updates to be filled with the sweet, silly moments that happen while you're away. My goal is to make your furbaby feel completely secure and your time away totally worry-free! I can't wait to meet your little one. As a recent new grad at UC Berkeley working near campus, my life is very centered around a consistent and predictable routine. This allows me to provide a steady, reliable presence in your home. If I ever need to be away for more than a couple hours, my sister or partner are often available to step in so your furbaby almost always has company and attention! This team-based approach ensures that your pet’s schedule remains uninterrupted. Every booking helps support our college education, and we are so grateful for the families who trust us with their beloved pets. While I primarily focus on house-sitting so your pet stays in the comfort of their own home, I now also open my space to select boarding guests. My apartment near campus is cozy but thoughtfully set up — and because my own dog Xiaobai is part of the household, I'm able to welcome small to small-medium dogs (under 40 lbs) who are crate trained, easy-going around other dogs, and on the quieter side out of respect for my neighbors. Cats are also welcome as long as they're not prone to furniture scratching or marking. I'm selective about boarding fits not to be exclusive, but because I genuinely want every stay to be low-stress for your pet, my dog, and the home environment. Regardless of whether I'm coming to you or hosting you, my priority is always routine replication — I work closely with you to learn exactly how you interact with your pet so I can keep their atmosphere consistent and stress-free while you're away. Whether it's following specific crate training protocols or maintaining the basic commands you use on walks, I aim to be a seamless extension of your own care. Every home is treated with the utmost respect and every pet's well-being is my absolute priority.

“Kimson is awesome. Before taking on the job, she texted me with questions about my dog's personality. When Hannah was shy and reluctant to go on her first walk, Kimson texted me for tips and patiently won Hannah over. Everything was in good order when I got back from my vacation.”

About: I have had experience with pets ranging from 1 year old to 15 years old. I learn the pace and routine of my pets and act accordingly. I specialize my care depending on my client and am here to give you some ease when deciding who to leave your pet with. I currently work part-time, typically mornings, and am in school. Thankfully, my classes are online, so I am available for flexible care starting after 2 PM on weekdays. Weekends, I am available all day, and any changes will be communicated directly. I have experience with fenced off areas in homes, crates, and specialized leashes. I am happy to learn and adapt to your personal needs and style.

About: I am a dog and cat lover who lives in Berkeley (West Berkeley) and would love the opportunity to help you take care of your pets! I grew up with akitas and dachshunds and have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes - whether it’s walking, grooming, or taking them to the vet. I am currently human to one rescue cat. I volunteered with Best Friends Animal Society and preciously volunteered with the Humane Society in Washington, DC, where I regularly socialized the cats and walked the rescue dogs. I am a current startup exec and former financial services professional looking to take care of your pets in my spare time. I am responsible, tidy, and pay attention to details. I will take care of your pets as if they were a member of my own family! I work remotely for some of the week and am flexible! I am an early riser and live near a ton of parks in Mission Bay. I am happy to do check-ins and follow any instructions given! I am experienced in dog walking (I have had dogs as small as Dachshunds and as large as Akitas). I also love cats and have a cat in my own home. As a result, I do not host pets, but I am happy to care for your pets!

About: I grew up with two dogs and have a lot of experience walking and caring for them, including senior dogs. My childhood dog lived to 17 and lived with me in the last year of his life. I have so much gratitude for the sitters and walkers who helped us care for him. I just moved back to the Bay Area and I'm excited to become a Rover sitter and walker myself! I have a flexible schedule working from home and would love spend time walking your dog and giving them attention and love! I'm currently self-employed and working from home, so I'm flexible to go for walks or drop in to check on your pup during the day or in the evenings! I'm happy to take your dog for long walks, play with them at home, and whatever else you need, whether it's a walk, feeding, drop-in, or something else!

“CM was great with my anxious pup. My dog usually doesn’t trust new people taking him out on a walk but C found a way to get him out and was a lifesaver. Thanks again!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of intention and care I bring to every pet I watch. I don’t see this as just a service — I truly believe pets are gifts and important members of the family, and I treat them that way. I’m comfortable caring for pets at all life stages. With young pets, I reinforce positive behaviors, basic training cues, and consistent routines to help support what owners are already working on. I’m patient and understand that puppies and kittens need structure, energy outlets, and clear boundaries. For senior pets, I provide a calm, gentle approach. I’m attentive to mobility needs, slower routines, medication schedules if needed, and making sure they’re comfortable and not overstimulated. I pay close attention to behavior changes and subtle cues so I can adjust care appropriately. I also prioritize communication and reliability. I provide thoughtful updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. Overall, I focus on individualized care — meeting each pet where they are and making sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated time and energy for each pet I’m caring for — whether that’s drop-ins, feedings, play sessions, or overnight stays. I don’t overbook because I want every animal to get focused attention, not rushed visits. I build pet care into my mornings and evenings especially, when most cats feel most active and engaged, and I make time throughout the day for check-ins, updates, and communication with owners. Caring for pets isn’t something I “squeeze in” — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my week. My approach to pet care is centered around keeping things as close to a pet’s normal routine as possible, because that’s what helps them feel safe and relaxed. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, litter box routines, and household preferences carefully. I make sure cats have clean spaces, fresh water, enrichment through play, and plenty of affection (or space, if that’s what they prefer). I also keep the home tidy and send regular updates with photos so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. If caring for a pet in my home, I focus on creating a calm, low-stress environment where they have a comfortable place to rest and decompress. I’m intentional about introductions, stimulation levels, and maintaining consistency with their usual feeding and play routine. I pay close attention to behavior and mood changes so I can adjust care as needed. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on patience, safety, and individualized attention. Every pet has a different personality — some want lots of play and interaction, others prefer quiet companionship — and I tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.

“Thank you so much, Rose, for accepting a last minute request to walk Jazzy! Rose definitely went above and beyond.”
