Dog Walking Chinatown

“Jennifer is wonderful! She is for sure my go to dog walker for Ruffles when I need support. Communicative, thoughtful, and I can tell Ruffles really likes her. Thank you Jen!”

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a child! I grew up with 2 beautiful pitbulls, 1 chihuahua, and 1 cat — so I am well versed in pets of all sizes. I now have my own sweet kitten Calliope, who I rescued at only 2 months old. I have experience in pet-sitting for family and friends here in the Bay Area, and I am so excited to bring my years of experience to the Rover community! I live in Downtown Oakland, and currently work from home in research! I have plenty of time during the day on breaks to care for your fur baby, and often have availability in the evenings on weekdays. As a cat mama myself, I know the amount of trust it takes to leave your pet with a caregiver while you are away. I take great care to learn everything your pet needs to be comfortable and safe, and treat all as if they are my own. I am knowledgeable in young kitten care, cat enrichment activities, crate training, safe walking practices, and much more.

About: I’ve taken care of family’s and friends’ pets anywhere from puppies to older dogs, and also larger dogs like huskies. I respect every household’s rules for caring for their pets, and ensure the pets are safe, healthy, and happy! Currently at home full-time, so very flexible and open to caring for your pets when you need a break or have travel / social engagements! I can keep a crate in my home and live right on Lake Merritt with a large grass pasture just across the street by the lake where I would take dogs to. Walking around the lake/grass is a fan favorite!

“Shirley is wonderful. She took great care of my dog Java on short notice this morning. Java has been in training for leash reactivity and Shirley picked up exactly how to work with her very quickly. She is kind and really appreciate animals from what I can tell. Highly recommended”

“Cindy was my first rover walker and she did not disappoint! She was responsive and followed directions. My pup is overly excited when meeting new people and Cindy did great. Thank you Cindy for taking good care of my lulu. I definitely recommended her and will be booking Cindy from now on.”

“Sofia is the absolute best! She is so helpful, communicative, caring, kind, and accommodating. Not only does she care about your pup, she cares about you & that you feel comfortable as well. Such a great human and my favorite dog walker / friend to Forrest. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. Since childhood, I’ve been surrounded by pets and learned to understand their body language and unique needs. At 25, I adopted and personally trained my own dog, who grew into a smart, well-behaved companion. I also fostered many cats and dogs and volunteered in animal shelters. Now in the U.S., I adopted two rescue cats who are thriving with me. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and comfort their pets. Whether your furry friend is playful, shy, senior, or full of energy, I provide loving, safe, and attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so I’m available around the clock — mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight. I don’t have a separate job pulling me away, which means my day is built entirely around your pet’s routine: walks, feeding, medication, playtime, and steady company. Last-minute bookings and longer visits are rarely a problem for me. With many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I understand how important it is to follow your instructions exactly and to make your pet feel safe and happy. Friends often trust me to foster their pets, and I always make sure they feel loved, played with, walked, and even lightly trained if needed. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, you can be sure I’ll provide the same level of care, attention, and affection as I do for my own two rescue cats. Your pet’s comfort and well-being will always be my top priority.

About: Looking for a personal oasis for your pet? 💛 —- Look no further in having a responsible animal lover dote on your pet. —- ** Only Taking Pet Sitting Requests 1-2 weeks in Advance Notice ** —- **with Pet and Owner Profiles Fully Filled Out* + **an Initial Phone or Video Call, then Meet and Greet in Person** - Thank you! — I grew up around two chihuahas, a german shepard, and two friendly pomeranians at my aunt and uncle’s house. Playing, giving them treats, and making sure they stayed within neighborhood bounds were a regular for my brother and me. I’ve also had the honor to house sit for a variety of dogs and cats. I’ve cared for the needs of senior cats to playful pups to independent rescues, to mischievous kittens. With this experience, I am happy to care for and get to know more of your beloved furred ones! … It is also a special interest of mine to do training for dogs. I believe in using Positive Reinforcement and loving gentleness when it comes time to handling animals. I’m currently working towards getting my CBATI-KA through Grisha Stewart’s Academy and becoming Fear Free certified. I love continually learning through different trainers and educators under the CCPDT’s guidelines of LIMA (Least Intrusive Minimal Aversive). —- I also was certified with Pet CPR Aid with ProHero Training. —- Let’s book a Meet & Greet! Scheduling: I work as a FT freelancer, so please respond in a timely manner and communicate as much in advance, so I can best fit you and your pet into my schedule/space! — Some things I’d like to know from you: When is your best availability for an initial Meet & Greet? What is the size, breed, and temperament of your animal(s)? Are you ok with me posting pics of your pets? — Thank you! + Please note I will always value you and your fur babies’ comfortability first. … Your pet(s) and their personalities are the Star of the show! — Please let me know about your pet’s personal likes/dislikes, favorite toys, treats, any allergies, and/or particular preferences for comfort & joy. I also have experience administering medication, if needed and have experience (for both dogs and cats) with preparing supplements / added medicine to be mixed in with their meals. A personal side interest of mine is also doing training for dogs. So if your dog has any particular behaviors, you’d like to be worked on, let me know and we can work on tackling an issue together.

“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”

About: Hello! My name is Dan, and I live in Downtown Oakland. I have two cats, Bernie and Kitt, and I've been pet sitting for dogs and cats for pretty much my entire life. As someone who understands the anxiety of leaving your furry friends behind, I take the responsibility of being a pet sitter very seriously. I am an organized, detail-oriented person, and I take pride in following instructions accurately and completely. I am available for overnight stays, drop-ins, or walks. When I'm not pet sitting, I work as a non-profit attorney and freelance writer. I work mostly remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be available for overnight stays as well as weekday drop-ins and walks. Especially if given enough advance notice or establishing a regular routine, I am typically able to accommodate most schedules. Outside of pet sitting, I work as a non-profit attorney and a freelance writer. I approach my clients' furry friends with the same compassion, care, and attention to detail that I do my own beloved pets, Bernie and Kitt. I communicate in advance with my clients to make sure that I understand their instructions and expectations. I very much appreciate the trust and responsibility involved in allowing someone to entire your home to care for your furry friends, and I strive to earn and deserve that trust from my clients.

About: I have cared for multi-pet households. I have experience feeding, brushing, changing litter, and administering medication. I love animals of all sorts. I am also good with them. I am good at reading their body language, and a lot of them gravitate towards me for whatever reason. They tend to be comfortable with my presence. I am between jobs at the moment, so that means I am somewhat more flexible to work around your schedule. I am a little bit busy with stuff in my personal life, and obviously I have boundaries about when I can and can't be at your home and how much work I want to take on, but the lack of structure in my life right now means we have more options for how I can show up for your pets. I am not in school either at the moment. I am not planning to have this be my only source of income, but for now I am flexible. I can't have pets come to my apartment; it is too small and I don't live on the bottom floor so it would be too much of a hassle to take them outside. I can only come to your home. I am very respectful of boundaries and property when I enter someone else's home. I will pay close attention to your instructions about how to care for your pets and any important other details I need to know. I am responsible and detail oriented, so you can trust me in your home and with your animals. I care that my clients feel secure with me being there while they are away.

“Eulalie was great and followed all instructions! Will definitely hire again.”

About: I love animals and have been around fur pets since I was a child. I have experience with big dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and kittens. My previous neighbor used to foster kittens while I dog sat for my friends, family, landlords, neighbors, etc. Dogs and cats are my therapy and love some cuddles and jogs. I have my own 7 month old female puppy who absolutely loves all dogs. She’s shy towards people but dogs are her favorite. I have a hybrid schedule with flexibility during the week and weekends. I’m flexible and open to sitting, walking, runs, or just check-in’s. I’m typically busiest on Tuesdays and likely only available in the late afternoon. We love communication so I’m always happy to send updates and have experience with dogs who need extra attention and/or healing pets. For my puppies/kittens they’re learning so a little patience and attention to fostering their schedule/training is important. These animals are like my children so showing them the same love and care is important to me.

“Jacalyn is fabulous! When we first met she was so attentive. Talking notes, asking questions. Our puppy loved her immediately. Very qualified , kind, communicative & punctually. Will definitely be using her again”
