“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!”

“Laura came walk with me and my puppy Cooper to meet him for the first time and she was great with him! I have a hard time leaving my puppy behind when I need to be away but I know he will be in good hands with Laura.”

About: I grew up around animals and find a ton of joy spending time with them. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and ages. I am fully comfortable with puppies and senior dogs who may require extra care. I am an active person and enjoy long walks or trips to dog beaches/parks, but also love hanging out with dogs who just need a couch buddy. Other than Rover, I have a few other obligations that don't follow a set schedule, so my weekly availability fluctuates but am generally very flexible. My priority is keeping your pet safe and happy. I trust in what parents want for their pets and will gladly do what is needed to keep your pet safe and happy.

“Cynthia has been walking our dog, Pip, for the last six weeks while I recover from a foot injury and we really appreciate her. Our dog, Pip, was nervous about walking with a stranger but Cynthia was very flexible in figuring out how to make it more comfortable for Pip. Cynthia is quick to respond and shows up reliably. We really appreciate her help.”

“Anthony was awesome! Took our dog on long walks & was easy to coordinate with. Gochu came back very happy each time!”

Christine C.

“Esteban quickly became my puppy's very best friend (I hope my kids don't see this). My puppy returns from walks and passes out for hours. Esteban is reliable and my puppy is always excited to go on their walks. He also communicates well and gives great updates on any activity from the walk.”

“Super punctual, flexible & cared for our girl really well! He took her on different routes every day to keep her entertained and was v communicative. This was great peace of mind since we were on holiday! Would highly recommend Gary and rebook for any future needs!”

Sarah D.

“Nicole was quick to respond, arrived early, and was a total sweetheart to my pup! I'm looking forward to working with her again.”

Ikiah M.

“Kalen came for the first walk and meeting right on time, actually a bit early! He has something special with animals, both dogs came right up to him and started snuggling; if you knew my dogs you would understand what a big deal this is. He took both of them on the walk and when he came back both dogs looked happy and tired. The dogs stayed with him while he was saying goodbye and the cat now loves him. I would recommend Kalen!”

Tracy J.

“It was great working with Jesse! He is responsive and took great care of our dog, and was able to accommodate last-minute changes in our travel itinerary. We look forward to working with him again!”

Dejon N.

“Micah did great with my dog who can be a little anxious at first!”

Alexandra P.

“Adam is always quick to respond, communicative and was able to take my dog and an additional one we are dogsitting out today! And for a minor cost versus double. His style is laid back and easy while being on top of all the details. Would highly recommend!”

Stella K.

“I highly recommend Zen for dog walks. She’s incredibly patient and has a great vibe and energy. I’ll definitely be using her for dog walks in the future. Thank you again for walking Viktoria!”

About: I took care of my aunt’s dog named Batman for 8 years until my aunt moved away. Ever since I have always enjoyed taking care of animals like dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and chickens! I currently work Sun-Thurs from 1pm to 9:30pm. I don’t have anything that needs my attention before I need to get to work! I am fully free Friday and Saturdays! I have a fenced yard and a dog park down the block. I have an old crate that can be used if needed and no other dogs or cats in the home.

About: I have a flexible schedule and am booking dog walks and drop-ins! I can accommodate for whether your dog likes more activity or needs a quiet and calm environment. I have experience dealing with dogs and other animals with anxiety and other medical or physical needs. I work from home at my own pace so I can accommodate different needs! Ideally, pet guests can be left at home alone for about an hour for errands and other events that come up. Please provide a crate if your dog cannot be left alone for over an hour. My home is responsible and dog safe with gates to prevent access to the kitchen. My yard is not fenced but I always keep dogs leashed.

About: I grew up with all kinds of family pets and including adopting my own puppy at 17. Since moving to Oakland I’ve been lucky to live with several cats and dogs of roommates of all dispositions (both the roommates and their pets) and now my fiancée and I have a perfect baby angel cat son. I’m comfortable with puppies over 3 months old and mostly potty trained, I don’t mind mouthy or jumpy pups and am happy to discourage behaviors according to their training. I’ve had experience with palliative care for two beloved senior dogs that required a little extra help and care and am happy to show your old buddy patience and TLC. Happy to do easy walks around the block or take longer adventures in Oakland’s redwoods! For cats and dogs I am comfortable administering most medications. I’m currently on a long break from full time work and have open week day availability for walks and visits, and can be available weekends with extended notice Ask someone who always wants pictures of my cat, I am happy to send you as many photos of your pet as you would like! I have a keen attention to detail and an above average ability to follow instructions, and I’m happy to do things your way. I have a backseat dog hammock for my car that make sure dogs of all sizes are able to get comfortable.

“Alison was very very helpful with my puppy Mellow. She followed all the directions I gave and made me feel at ease knowing my puppy is getting the care we want. She was punctual and sent some cute update pics of Mellow, which I loved seeing at work. I feel comfortable with Allison walking my little guy. 😇”

“One incredibly trustworthy dog walker who makes every outing the highlight of your dog’s day. Brutus absolutely adores her—he comes back from every walk happy as a clam. Couldn’t recommend her more highly! 🐕💛”
