Dog Walking in Claremont, Oakland, CA

“And all around beautiful girl. Very well-versed in every possible situation that could arise, from a super hot day, to passing by a reactive dog Tucker anticipated his walk with her every time with a bark and wiggly butt!”

“We are so happy to have Irina walk our two corgis now that I’m returning to an office a few days each week. I think I probably had more separation anxiety than the pups, but it’s comforting knowing they get a visit with Irina and burn off some energy. We love the photos and card updates. Looking forward to many more walks!”

“Cara is such a great dog walker! She’s great at communicating and is very intuitive to animals. My dog looks forward to her regular walks! He says 2 paws up!!”

“Shelly was easy to communicate with, and our puppy Ringo looked like he really enjoyed the walk! We’ll definitely book a walk with Shelly in the future.”

“Jennifer was a stellar dog sitter for my girl. When no one showed at the dog park for my uber social girl, Jennifer took the extra mile literally and walked my girl around Lake Merritt. When it was time to leave, she made sure my girl was properly prepped for bed time. When I came home I found a well fed and tired out Dutchie. With Jennifer looking after my girl, it was less stress to carry. Would Def recommend her to owners of high energy dogs.”

Arya F.

“Stephanie did a great job walking Daisy. She always showed up when she said she would. Daisy is looking forward to more walks with Stephanie.”

About: Whether it’s venturing local trails, playing at the beach, or walking around the neighborhood - Exploring the outdoors is better with dogs! I have experience administering medication for special needs & senior pups. I have two senior dogs who get lots of care and attention everyday. I currently work very part time and take evening classes during the week, so I have lots of time for walks and excursions during the weekday & on weekends. I prefer to care for pets in client’s homes. I am confident with my abilities and skillset - All I ask for is honest communication from clients & clear expectations for your pet’s needs.

“Em walked my doodle for three weeks while I recovered from a surgery, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Not only was Em always communicative about scheduling, I got tons of adorable pictures the whole walk! Darcy had so much fun and I will definitely come back to Em first next time I need care for her!”

About: I love animals and have been taking care of animals belonging to friends and family for about 5 years now. Whether that’s a dog or a cat, I love our companions and know that they deserve the world in care. I work in education and will be free almost every day before the school year starts. Once it does start I’ll mostly be able to take care of your companions on the weekends. I will follow all instructions left for me and will always notify you if I need to deviate from those instructions. I will always try to send photos of your companion in order to ensure you know of their safety as well as let you know they’re having fun.

About: I grew up with a dog that I was responsible for from a young age until my late teens. Today, I am the go-to dog care person for family and friends. I love animals but especially dogs so I decided to try expanding my skills here on Rover. I have experience helping dogs who are injured and need medicine, active, semi-active, and mellow dogs too! My current schedule offers flexibility throughout the weekdays and most weekends, which helps me balance and accommodate dog owners' various schedules/needs throughout the entire week. At your home, I am a responsible and conscientous person, who treats someone's home with care. I am adaptable to different home environments. The main thing for me is feeling safe in the home and cleanliness -:) and that the dog is comfortable.

About: I love working with pets and working dogs! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. From working, hunting dogs to couch potato’s, I’ve lived and experienced them all! Latest dog experience included owning 2 service dogs: Belgium Mal and GSD with consistent bite work! I intend on spending full-time with your pet/working fur baby. We’ll have scheduled breaks, playtime, potties, etc. to ensure your fur baby comes home without missing a beat! Your fur baby will have 100% of my attention in my secured home. As an experienced owner of 2 working service dogs, I’m happy to ensure your everyday best behaviors are always met!

About: I take dogs for a daily walk every morning. We go for a couple of miles to a perfect spot that I know. I love hiking places in California. I work part-time so that I can be available during the midday hours on weekdays and weekends. I love hiking, but I find it more enjoyable when I’m around dogs. Going to client’s house feed them, give them water, take them to a walk , give them some cuddles and love, attention, playing with them,

About: What sets me apart is my deep understanding of pets' unique needs, gained through years of hands-on experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I'm caring for playful puppies, energetic adults, or senior pets with special requirements, I tailor my approach to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and understood. There is a long line of veterinarians in my family therefore I understand the importance of quality care. My goal is to provide peace of mind for you and a second home for your furry friend, where they’ll receive the same level of care and affection they get from you. Fun fact I hope to become a veterinarian after school! As a college student-athlete, my schedule is flexible. I'm available every day aligning pet care around my class and practice times. Any changes or commitments are communicated in advance for seamless planning and reliable pet care. I am a student-athlete at Berkeley and am looking for a part-time job to spend time and help out with your furry friends. I know your pets mean the world to you, which is why safety is my top priority and I am committed to providing the best care for them so you can rest assured that they are taken care of while you are away.

About: I’ve had pets for 14 years ranging from small dogs, to cats, to rats and hamsters. In the last year, my family has dog sat for friends on vacation and foster puppies. My daughters (age 10 and 12) are particularly obsessed with small dogs, and regularly walk several of our neighbors dogs. We would love to welcome yours into our home. I work from home M-W-F and someone is usually home most weekends. We all love snuggling up with dogs as we work, watch movies, as well as taking them on walks or jogs in our neighborhood. I have a big fenced in yard, lots of space inside where the dogs can roam freely and safely without getting into trouble. They would also have my two daughters to play with, who are old enough to understand how to engage with dogs playfully but also know when to give them space. And are young enough to be home most of the time on weekends and evenings!

About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and caring for them became a passion early on. Since 2019, I’ve been working as a pet sitter alongside my studies, gaining years of hands-on experience with pups of all ages and temperaments. On top of that, I worked 8 months at a grooming and daycare center, where I learned to recognize dog behaviors, meet their needs, and ensure they feel safe and loved in any setting. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt, I’ve cared for playful puppies that need structure and training, energetic large dogs that thrive on activity, and senior dogs who deserve patience and gentle care. I also live with two wonderful dogs of my own, so I understand the responsibility and trust that comes with letting someone else care for your furry family member. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. As a student, I manage my own schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide morning, afternoon, and evening care depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also available on weekends and holidays, when many pet parents need extra help. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, it's important for me to treat every space with the same respect and responsibility I would want for my own. I make sure doors and gates are secure, routines are followed, and pets always feel safe and comfortable. With dogs, I pay attention to leash safety on walks and adjust the pace to their age and energy. With cats, I’m careful about keeping environments escape-proof and stress-free.

About: Hi! My name is Maddy and I love animals, which is why dog walking is my favorite job. I have volunteered at the SPCA, I have dog walking/sitting experience, and I have 2 cats and a dog of my own! I love taking care of them. I also have general work experience working at a summer camp and doing internship work. I can’t wait to meet all of your amazing pets! I am a sophomore at Cal, but my class load is light and I am not working! I have lots of availability during the week and weekends. At my clients home I make sure that your pet always is walked, has used the bathroom at least 3-4 times a day, and I will spend a couple hours with them to make sure they are okay and safe!

About: I’ve spent five years volunteering at an animal shelter, working with pets of all kinds, and have fostered kittens, so I’m no stranger to cuddles, chaos, and everything in between. On top of that, I have plenty of experience with overnight pet care, house sitting, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their humans are away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a structured routine, or just a reassuring presence, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care, frequent check-ins, and a consistent routine for your pet. Whether they need regular walks, playtime, or just some extra companionship throughout the day, I can easily accommodate their needs and keep them happy while you’re away. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. While I don’t have a yard, I live near a park, making it easy to ensure dogs get plenty of exercise and fresh air. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routine, keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: My dog in my profile photo was my Bru bear. He was 11 years old and I had him since he was a puppy. I am familiar with dogs and their behaviors and have a genuine care for every dog I meet. I attended training sessions with him while he was a puppy, but I do not have any familiarity training dogs by myself. I am a student at UC Berkeley, and not working this semester so I will have plenty of time to hangout with your pups! My schedule is flexible, and I am happy to find times that work best for everyone involved. I can’t have any pets in my home, but I am very respectful of others property. I will respect any wishes from the dog parent and work with them to ensure they feel comfortable while I am dog sitting.

About: I’ve had experience with a handful of different cats and dogs, from walking to house sitting, I also offer pet photography alongside your service. I am a quick learner, motivated, and would love to take care of your pet. I am in the process of preparing to start animal behavioral college, where I’ll be majoring in animal training. I’m currently on a break from work until the end of August/ early September so I can accommodate to your needs and have lots of time to play with your critters. I have a fenced large open patio and yard, the perfect spot with plenty of space for your fur baby/ies. I can also stay overnight at your house, I’m open, I will always leave your home better than I found it.
