Dog Walking in Columbia Gardens, Oakland

“Heather has been walking Gigi for almost a year now. She not only been reliable and kind but has gone above and beyond with Gigi, teachingi her tricks and updated me with all her walk experiences. Gigi loves Heather and gets so excited to see her when she comes. Heather makes sure Gigi gets a good walk in and takes extra time to show her love! We appreciate her so much!”

“I was so grateful for Iryna being available at the last minute to walk my large puppy for 5 days as I was recovering from the flu. I mentioned that he was a little shy around strangers and she was quick to suggest a meeting beforehand. She earned my puppy's trust after that and he happily obliged to go on his walk with her the next few mornings. Thank you Iryna! We hope you'll be available the next time we need you!”

About: Hi! I’m a full-time balanced dog trainer with over 5 years of hands-on experience, and I’m excited to now offer boarding and board-and-train services! Whether your dog is crate trained or not, reactive with people or dogs, or just needs structure and exercise while you’re away—I’ve got you covered. I specialize in behavior modification, so even dogs with more challenging needs are welcome here. Your dog will enjoy: • A fully fenced backyard • Plenty of daily engagement, training, and enrichment • Multiple crates and cozy dog beds available as needed • Walking access to a nearby dog park Understanding canine body language and preventing issues before they arise is at the core of what I do. My mission is to provide every dog in my care with structure, fulfillment, and a safe, enriching environment. Ready to work together or book a stay? Let’s chat—I’d love to meet you and your dog! Dogs are my full time job as a dog trainer! Since, I have boarding and private training with other clients. I make sure my personal dogs and dogs that are boarding are regularly walked and have potty breaks. All my dogs will be in a structured boarding program! In contrast to most daycare centers, your dogs will follow a set schedule tailored to them. including: * daily exercise * safe socialization * all dogs will sleep in their individual crates *no all-day free play *crate time **(Will offer training for loose leash walking and basic obedience if requested)

About: Hi, Meghan here, I have always been a dog-lover, and currently have a lovable fluffy husky. I live in Oakland with my mom, a fellow dog-lover! I allow our furry friends on the couch, but can also work on furniture-boundaries if your pooch isn't allowed on furniture at your own home. I work from home, so I'll be home most of the day during the weekdays. The longest your pup will be home alone (with my pups) is around 5 hours. I am comfortable with big dogs. I can give medications, and can brush your pooch as well! Here's a little about us: Meghan has been a dog-lover since birth. She grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me and Winston at home, join us on walks, and get to spend the day with us! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!

About: Hello! My name is Lixin. I have always loved animals. I've had my first dog when I was 3 years old. I started to take care of him when I grew older. I adopted a cat in 2014, and he is 11 years old now. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members-that's why I offer safe, calm and caring services. I'm a responsible, detail-oriented person, with 3 kids. I have flexible schedule and experience with cats and dogs. I am currently not boarding pets at my place, but I enjoy walking dogs and doing short visits to check in on pets. I look forward to meeting you and your pets. I'm generally available during weekday mornings and early afternoons. As a mom, I understand the importance of reliability and timing. Let me know what time works best for you, and I will do my best to accommodate. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a cat owner, I keep my cat indoors to ensure safety and health, and I follow a regular wellness check schedule. I also pay close attention to weight, behavior and overall wellness. I always keep dogs on a leash for their safety. I bring waste bags with me on every walk and always clean up after the dog. I provide real-time updates and photos. When I care for your pet, I follow all your instructions closely. I am extra cautious when entering and exiting homes, making sure doors and gates are secure.

“Thank God for Marlene! My last minute work trips she always books comes through works it into her schedule. She is the best with my super hyper Belgium malinois puppy. She always provides a pic she even will do clean up service for your puppy and give them water. She's just a solid dog walker!”

“Dora was wonderful to work with! She took great care of my dog Sassy, feeding her dinner and taking her for a walk on the days I needed to work late. She was very responsive to my messages and sent pictures of the walks. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. Thanks Dora!”

“Jessica is amazing! She has walked our 2 dogs for us when we’ve been away on a couple of occasions now and she’s done a great job every time. Our dogs can be a bit difficult to handle (one is very reactive and the other can be nervous, both can be unsure about strangers) and she handled them with ease and they’re very happy to see her now. She went above and beyond, and even spent some extra time hanging out with them. I would highly recommend her!”

About: As avid dog lovers with over 15 years of experience, we've cared for various breeds, including our own Shih Tzu who sadly passed away last year. We also frequently looked after our brother’s French Bulldog, who happily reunited with our Shih Tzu, and a Siberian Husky, along with other family dogs. Living in a pet-friendly community with ample grassy areas, your pups will have plenty of space to roam and play. Before your drop-off, we'd love to arrange a meet and greet to acquaint ourselves with you and your furry companions! This is not our first time on Rover. We have been dog-sitting on Rover for about 3 years. The first two years were under a different account with our mom because of age. So we did it together with our parents and were very happy with both animal and human clientele who were just as happy with our services. If you would like to see reviews from then I can send over those Rover Account details as well! We understand the importance of ensuring both you and your beloved pets have peace of mind while you're away, and we're dedicated to providing them with a safe and enjoyable experience under our care! We are currently completely free, accommodating both weekdays and weekends. Our days will be completely catered to the needs of your babies. We understand the importance of convenience, offering flexible pick-up and drop-off times, including same-day services. Whether it's a weekday, weekend, or holiday, we're here to ensure seamless care for your beloved pets. We offer a fenced backyard patio and expansive grassy areas within our community, and we're happy to provide photos of the surroundings upon request prior to booking. Alternatively, we can arrange a meet and greet so you can explore our dog-friendly and secure neighborhood firsthand. Our area boasts ample walking spaces and provides poop bags for your convenience. For crate-trained dogs, we recommend bringing their crate to ensure their comfort. Additionally, please bring any items that will help your dog feel at ease and secure during their stay. If your dog requires medication, be sure to bring it along. While we do offer some dog treats, feel free to bring your pup's favorites to ensure they feel right at home. Your pets' comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we strive to make their stay as enjoyable as possible!

About: I am very good at training puppies. And have grown up around all different kinds of animals my whole life, from dogs to horses to turtles to chicken and pigs. I am home every day and can pay attention to your pet for as long as you need. And also need to earn some extra cash to help with everyday living. I have a 5 month old puppy at home as well as a 9 year old daughter. So the extra cash really helps out. THANK YOU! My availability is very much open to fit to your schedule, I'm currently not working so I can tend to your pets needs as much as they want. I don't leave any pets unattended when let outside. I usually will hang out in the backyard with them. And I will always make sure that they are comfortable and everything is taken care of anytime before I leave.
