Dog Walking in Clawson, Oakland

“Nicole is great! She is kind, thoughtful, and has bonded so well with my Nina. She’s been incredibly flexible given my work schedule, and working with her has been a pleasure. Highly recommend!”

“Jonathan and Chiel were awesome! Super respectful, prompt, and communicative. My dog loved them and they were so good with her. They took some great photos on their walk and I was relieved knowing she was in great hands while I was out of town on a trip. 100% recommend.”

“Chris was such a great help for our Ceci. He is very thorough, polite and seems like a true dog lover. Would be happy to continue working with him.”

“Louisa has been a fantastic walker. She’s responsive, flexible, and I know our dog is always happy to see her.”

“Matt was great! He came and met us the day before our walk/drop in, it was nice knowing he would know exactly where everything was and what to do. During the drop in he sent updates and pics! We will use him again. Thank you again, Matt!”

“Tanitsha took care of our recently adopted dog who is still getting used to her new home and immediately made her feel very comfortable. Lots of live updates and cute photos from all three walks, and really prompt message replies. Will 100% be using her again - she is great!”

“Excellent experience with Brennan. My dog was comfortable and excited to see him for the week I was away. Brennan is flexible and reliable when it comes to timing. Most importantly, he is kind, encouraging and patient with the dogs. Will be contacting him in the future.”

“This was our first time using Holly for recurring drop-ins as my husband and I start heading back into the office, and she is absolutely wonderful! She stopped by our home a few days ahead of time to learn the ropes and meet our pup, and shared a great recap and pics of their first walk together today. So grateful to have found Holly as a reliable weekly walker!”

“phil is so, so great!! Juni absolutely loves him and comes home happy and worn out (and sleeps the rest of the day :)). phil is communicative, prompt, friendly, all the good things you’d want in a walker. highly recommend, we’re very grateful for him!”

“Alex is an exemplary pawrent, that provides endless love and care for their doggo. They even adjusted their lives to care for their dog's anxiety.”

“Alexis did a fantastic job keeping our dog Finnegan happy while we were away for a long day. This was our first time leaving him for so long. Alexis had already taken great care of our two cats and we were happy to be able to hire her again for our dog. Her updates & photos showed us he was having a blast going on walks with her. She went the extra mile and made sure our cats had extra food too. We are already repeat clients!”

“Laura is terrific with my reactive (and rather clingy) pup! I feel very confident leaving Petey in her care for walks and playtime. Laura is also an excellent communicator.”

“Shelly did a great job with our needy little princess. Our dog can be shy with new people and get into trouble on walks but she handled it well and was very flexible with schedule changes.”

About: I love cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes! I'll take care of them as if they were my own, and will gladly be a temporary replacement human for them while you are away! I can follow your directions and will always send pictures and updates to you frequently. If it's a longer stay, I will provide Polaroids of some of my favorite pictures I took of your pet! As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it is to be away from your furry family! I can administer medications, and have a lot of experience with injections as well (my childhood dog had diabetes, and I administered the insulin shots). I'm more than happy to take extra care of special needs or pets with health issues! 🐶 DOG EXPERIENCE: I've cared for my dogs on my own for 8+ years, and always had dogs growing up (25+ years). I've worked with dogs of all temperaments, from shy & timid dogs to high-energy dogs to very reactive dogs. I am currently a mother to two dogs (one senior, one younger), so I have direct experience successfully managing multiple dogs on walks and at home. I also have a lot of experience with special needs and dogs with health issues, so I'm very comfortable administering medications and taking special care with dogs that have mobility issues. 🐱 CAT EXPERIENCE It's your cat's world, I'm just a guest in it! I've had the honor of taking care of amazing cats through Rover, and have taken care of cats for friends and family. I have experience managing a wide range of personalities, from high-energy to senior cats, from escape artists to extremely shy. I've also taken care of multiple cats, so I am very comfortable taking care of more than one and following special instructions for each. I will be in tune with your cat and will take it at the pace your cat decides. Your cat's the driver! I know how to engage in fun play sessions with your cat, and will make sure they feel enriched and happy after the visit! More info on my experience for each service: 🐕 DOG WALKING - Reactive dogs: I have a lot of experience walking reactive dogs. My recently adopted dog Stella was extremely reactive before I trained her, so I know how important it is to be in tune with your reactive dog on a walk and have eyes on your surroundings at all times and an exit route if needed. Your reactive dog will be safe with me, and I will be sure to be aware of all the triggers! - Shy / Timid dogs: I have personal experience with super shy and nervous dogs, and your dog will be safe with me on the walks. I'll be in tune with your dog to make sure they feel confident and safe with me. - Leash pullers: My dog Louie is a former leash puller (it's amazing how strong a 15 lb dog can be!) before I personally trained him to stop pulling. I also have walked larger dogs (i.e. Chow Chow) that pulled on the leash, so I know how important it is to have an iron grip on those leashes! - Multiple dogs: I have two dogs of my own, so I know how to handle multiple leashes and how to manage more than one dog on a walk. - Large-size and extra-large dogs: I have walked large dogs at the shelters as well for friends, so I know how to walk with larger dogs, especially leash pullers! - Walking styles: I'll ask in any meet + greets to learn your dog's walking styles, I've walked them all! From the "must sniff every flower and plant and trash can" to leash pullers, I will cater my walk to your dog! 🐾 DROP-IN VISITS - Multiple pets (dogs or cats): I have personal experience with my two dogs and have had the honor to check in on homes with multiple cats, so I am completely comfortable navigating different pet personalities and special instructions! I'll make sure each pet is individually taken care of! - Litter box cleaning: I will provide litter box cleaning every visit (I like to do this so I can report back on any health issues your pet may be having!) - I don't mind doing a deep clean! - Cleaning bowls: I will clean your pet's bowls daily (or as directed) and can clean, refill, and program feeders as well. - Playtime and/or cuddles: If your pet permits, I'll make sure to squeeze in extra time for play or cuddles! If things are going well, and we're over our allotted time, I tend to stay just a bit longer to finish any play sessions (at no extra charge to you!) :) Bonding with your pet is more important than clocking out! I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, so I'll have plenty of time to provide care for your pet! Sometimes I have morning meetings, but I will always let you know if the timing doesn't work on my side. I have reliable transportation so I can travel to you! I will take care of your home, ensuring everything is safe and sound when entering and leaving. I can follow any special directions you have, and will provide regular updates throughout the service.

“Amber is amazing with animals! She is especially great with cats as she has owned multiple cats and fed strays. Pets gravitate towards her calming energy, she is good with following feeding/care instructions, and she has experience pet sitting for friends/family.”

“Emily was our go-to dog watcher before she moved to CA and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog watcher! She watched our dog Teddy a dozen times and we were always so happy with her. She loved being with our dog and always took good care of him, even noticing some early symptoms of arthritis in him before we did. She was also responsive if we had any questions or concerns.”

“Kaitlyn has done a phenomenal job of caring for our 2 corgi's and making sure they get their walks in while we're away. She is prompt to arrive and is constantly in communication if things change or we need clarification. We would highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!”

“Alexy is so kind and attentive with my big dog Panda. Thanks for getting P his exercise, Alexy. Will be booking again :)”

“It’s clear Lena takes the utmost care with the dogs she walks and takes care of, and that she takes great lengths to cater to each of their own specific needs and personalities. Lena made sure that my very sensitive and shy dog was as comfortable as she could be, and when I got her back I was surprised to find out she was more comfortable around new people! Lena is patient, reliable, and kind - she always delivers! I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Alfredo and his wife have taken such great care of my golden retriever Taco when I’ve been a little bit more busy recently. They come twice a day to walk him and are always on time and responsible and Taco is very happy to see them always. Thank you so much!”
