Dog Walking Chinatown

About: My sister and I currently care for one dog and two cats, so I'm experienced with the daily routines that keep pets happy and healthy. From walks, feeding, and playtime to cleaning litter boxes and making sure everyone gets plenty of attention, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive, and I'll care for your pets the same way I care for my own. Whether it's a long walk, drop-in visit, or overnight house sitting, I'll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I also know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit for added peace of mind. I'm currently freelancing, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Whether you need weekday walks, weekend drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting, I'm happy to work around your schedule and provide dependable care whenever you need it. For every visit, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. I'll keep your home clean and secure, provide regular updates with photos and messages, and make sure you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

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.

About: I have worked with animals my whole life! I grew up with dogs, cats, and many more! I love animals and they tend to love me (I've been told I have very calming energy :) My pet care experience is extensive and all encompassing! I love long walks, fresh air, puppy/kitty cuddles, etc. and I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I have an extremely flexible work schedule so it is super easy for me to pop out most days to take care of your babies! I'm happy to follow your lead and whatever you are comfortable with! If you prefer we play in the home, can do, or if you prefer we have a little jaunt around the neighborhood, we can do that too!

About: My family’s had 2 Havanese dogs a little over 3 years now and I take care of them regularly when they go out for the night or leave town. In addition I occasionally sit for family friends who have a Yorkie and used to watch a neighbor’s cat when she was still with us. Most animals find me agreeable and I try to be consistent and loving with any younger ones so that they’re shaped into the best possible pets. I’ve recently left my long-term job to focus on watching/walking pets. I do some gig work to make ends meet but my main passion right now is animal care. I have a spacious loft apartment in Chinatown Oakland in a very safe neighborhood just a few minutes walk from Lake Merritt. Crating (with one provided for me) in the apartment is an option as well as my sectional couch or rug depending on your animal’s preferences.

About: As a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver, I go beyond basic care to ensure each dog feels safe, loved, and happy while their owner is away. Above all, I treat every dog like family, providing plenty of affection, regular updates, and ensuring they feel at ease in my care. Pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in responsible and loving hands! I have hands-on experience with senior dogs and understand the extra care they require, whether it’s administering medication, assisting with mobility, or providing a calm and comfortable environment. I’m also comfortable with high-energy dogs and can tailor my care to their needs, whether that’s engaging playtime, long walks, or reinforcing positive behavior. I work remotely so I am flexible and available to play with any pup - I live close to multiple dog parks and have a lake that I can take dogs on walks for One friendly dog in my apartment that loves to play and nap. He is socialized and loves to be with other dogs. Open to taking both to the park for socialization or just a solo trip with your pup.

About: Hey there! I've had dogs my entire life, they are earth angels 😇 and it is a pleasure and honor to be able to care for them. I am available for sitting overnights at yours or my place. I have been professionally pet sitting for about 9 years and love it! I'm capable of training and use positive reinforcements. Experienced with many personalities and needs such as senior and anxiety care, I am a patient and reliable animal lover. While I am home 95% of the time, if they have severe separation anxiety, it is helpful and preferred if you provide anti-anxiety medication, as I do still have to step out briefly occasionally. My goal and priority is to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away, and to give you peace of mind that they are safe and happy! I live in an apartment with great natural light near Lake Merritt, making walks very accessible. I am highly attentive to their needs and our surroundings, and am a cuddle master. We can discuss and tailor as you see fit! I love cats and others also, so if a dog isn't your need, I got'cha! I check in with photos at least 2x a day- and can add or reduce based on your preferences. I'm passionate about eco-sustainability and regeneration, enjoying life, beautiful food, and overall wellness for everyone. I have a decent amount of flexibility, which allows me to be present the majority of the time to spend with them, and I'm a homebody. I am happy to work with your schedule. I'm affectionate, I communicate clearly, directly, and friendlily. With you and your animals. I am protective and highly intune with my surroundings and those in them. I follow your care instructions and make sure everyone has what they need!

“Esteban is awesome! He takes good care of Sunny, my terrier puppy. And sends me lots of detailed updates and wonderful photos. Sunny seems very relaxed and happy after walks/hangs with Esteban. Thank you so very much for all that you do!”

About: Hi there! I’m so excited to connect with you and your furry family members. I offer loving, attentive in-home dog walking and pet sitting right in the comfort of your pup’s favorite place—their own home! Whether your dog thrives on energetic neighborhood strolls, playful backyard fetch sessions, or just cozy, mindful companionship while you’re away, I tailor every visit to match their natural rhythm and personality. My journey with dogs is rooted in deep care and connection. I’ve had the joy of fostering rescue dogs, helping them feel safe, loved, and confident while preparing them for their forever families. I still keep in close touch with their adoptive parents (and love getting their updates and photo check-ins!). I also regularly dog-sit for family, so caring for pups with all kinds of temperaments and needs feels completely natural to me. Because I work part-time, my schedule is wonderfully open and flexible. I have plenty of free time during the day to dedicate to long walks, attentive care, and quality bonding. I’m also available for overnight stays, giving your home a lived-in presence and giving your dog the peace of mind of having a trusted friend nearby through the night. I bring a blend of positive energy, reliable communication, and genuine affection to every visit—because your pet deserves nothing less than complete comfort and joy while you’re away! Because I work part-time, pet care isn’t something I just squeeze into the margins of my day—it’s a intentional, central part of my everyday life. My daily and weekly schedule is wonderfully open and fluid, which gives me the gift of time. I’m able to dedicate slow, unhurried visits to your pets, whether that means taking a mid-day sunshine walk, offering mid-afternoon playtime and cuddles, or staying overnight so your home stays warm and lived-in while you're away. When you welcome me into your home and entrust me with your beloved pets, I treat both with the utmost care, respect, and mindfulness. Having fostered rescue dogs, I know that every animal thrives on feeling safe, understood, and relaxed in their natural element.

“Greg’s amazing. This was my first experience with Greg and he was fantastic. Communicative, prompt, and June had a great walk and has been sleeping all day! I’ll be using Greg going forward!”

About: As a passionate and dedicated dog caregiver (and certified belly-rub expert), I have decades of experience in providing loving, personalized care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s epic walks, goofy play sessions, or cozy couch cuddles, I treat each dog like my own, making sure their day is just as awesome as they are. With a deep understanding of dog behavior and needs, I offer more than just pet sitting—I’m all about tail wags, happy barks, and ensuring every pup feels like the superstar they are. Your fur-baby is in good hands, whether we’re tackling zoomies or sharing some well-deserved ear scratches! As a digital artist who works from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible and perfect for spending quality time with your furry friend! I start each day with a cup of coffee and a quick sketch, but my favorite part of the day is when I get to step away from the screen for some one-on-one time with the pups I care for. Whether it’s a mid-morning walk through the neighborhood or a cozy play session in the afternoon, I make sure each dog I care for gets plenty of love and attention. Throughout the week, I break up my art projects with regular walks, potty breaks, and cuddles, making sure your dog’s routine blends seamlessly with mine. My evenings are often spent winding down with some light painting, with a furry companion by my side, of course. This balance between my creative work and dog care means your pet will have constant companionship, attention, and plenty of outdoor time—whether it’s during a quick break or an afternoon adventure. My weekends are all about longer walks and outdoor fun. Whether we’re chasing a ball in the park or enjoying some quiet relaxation time, your dog will get the undivided, personalized attention they deserve, all while fitting right into my routine as a work-from-home artist. When it comes to caring for your furry family members, safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m welcoming your dog into my home for boarding or visiting your home for sitting or drop-ins, I strive to create a comfortable, loving environment where your pet feels completely at ease. If your dog stays with me, they’ll be part of the family! My home is pet-friendly, with cozy spots for relaxation, plenty of space for play, and lots of one-on-one attention. I make sure the environment is safe and secure, with constant supervision to ensure your pet is always happy, healthy, and well-cared-for. From daily walks to cuddle time, your dog’s routine will be catered to their needs, whether they prefer lounging or an active play session. I maintain a calm, structured atmosphere, and your dog will have plenty of outdoor time and regular exercise, including half-hour to hour-long walks, or even longer adventures, depending on their energy level. When I come to your home for sitting or drop-in visits, I treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. I maintain your dog’s routine as closely as possible, from feeding times to playtime and walks. I know how important it is for your pet to feel safe in their familiar environment, and I make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits and regular walks, from quick 30-minute strolls to as many hours as your dog needs to stay happy and content. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I’m dedicated to building a relationship of trust with both you and your pet. You can always count on me to provide a nurturing, reliable, and safe environment that puts your dog’s well-being first.

About: I love providing care that feels personal and full of joy. Animals have always been part of my life, and after years of experience, over 90 bookings and counting; I’ve learned that connection matters most. My goal is to engage and exhaust, because happy dogs are tired dogs. Every visit is about building trust and comfort. When families choose to rebook, it’s more than a service; it’s a relationship built on love, reliability, and understanding. My family works from home. I own a dog; dogs are integrated into every part of my daily and weekly routine. Dogs make me happy. I follow owner instructions. Limiting interactions with strangers decreases the possibility of accidents. Making the decision that guarantees safety is the only option I seek.
