Dog Walking in Crestmont, Oakland

“Maia was great! Very friendly and you can tell she loves animals. She went out of her way to make sure my often anxious dog felt comfortable around her. Recommend.”

“Adam is a wonderful pet carer and our shy rescue pup immediately warmed up to him. He has a great, calming, positive energy and is completely trustworthy. As soon as I met him, I knew Chami would be in good hands. He's very punctual, always bang on time to walk our dog and responsive with messaging and photo updates. I would 100% recommend him!”

“I highly recommend Mary! She watched our Australian Shepard and was incredibly communicative and respectful of our home. Our dog can be shy but warmed right up to her. She took her on lots of walks and we came home to a happy pup and clean home.”

“Ziggy was so excited to see Melissa for his second walk with her, and he was completely bushed when he got back. What more could you ask for?”

“Casssandra has been the best dog walker!! She is very kind, communicative, and easy to work with. My dog absolutely loves her and gets so excited every time he goes on a walk. I definitely recommend Cassandra as a safe and trusted walker.”

“Emma is very calm and connects well with all my three cats. I have one high-energy kitten (needing lots of playtime), one shy/nervous cat (needing patience and calm care), and one more senior long-haired cat (sometimes needing extra help with grooming) She is trustworthy and very reliable. My cats like her a lot, and she spends quality time with them. She goes above and beyond. When my cat was sick, she helped provide necessary oral medicine. You would be lucky to have her as your cat sitter.”

“I have a dachshunds with issues and Osaze has been terrific! He is extremely punctual and reliable. My dog has separation anxiety, but when Osaze picks him up, Louie is happy to see Osaze, and doesn’t look back. I highly recommend Osaze for pet care and walking!”

“Celeste is AMAZING! Super helpful and reliable and was very communicative with the whole process of walking my dog. I will definitely be booking with her again for all my future needs for my dog. Thank you again celeste!”

About: Our pets are family. My approach is a balance of attention and simple structure that makes for happy socialization. My partner and I have always had cats and dogs and I have experience with everything from puppyhood to the special healthcare challenges of senior pets (including administration of oral meds and injected insulin) I used to walk dogs back in college as a part-time job. Now, I am excited to make some new 4-legged friends and get out for some exercise together. I work from home part-time and with a very flexible schedule. I do long walks in the morning and afternoon and, if staying with us, in addition to walks, your doggie will have full access to the yard during the day to sunbathe and play. If house sitting at yours, I will be on hand with your pet at a minimum in the morning, for a few hours mid-day, and then all evening and night. We have a large fenced yard and two small, friendly pups (9lb young female yorkie and 12lb female coton de tulear) to play with. "The girls" are not crated at night, but I am happy to set up your pup's normal sleeping area if staying with us. For dog walking, I do 30-45 minute adventures with priority given to clients located in Oakland's Laurel, Dimond, Maxwell Park, and Redwood Heights neighborhoods. Ideally, your dog loves walking with some friends, but we can customize for personal pup needs.

“Zihir is super awesome and goes above and beyond to take care of my dog. I am very happy with dog walking and appreciate the flexibility and reliability.”

“Laura is a loving and attentive pet owner of both a cat and dog. She has many years experience caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, as the need arises. I have no doubt she would be an excellent choice to care for your pet.”

“Nia is extremely reliable, easy to work with, and always keeps in touch. She takes great care of my dog and has accommodated multiple schedule changes with no problem . Thank you, Nia!”

“Elizabeth was fantastic - came over the night before our first walk to meet our dog which I think was super helpful for everyone! Took extra care to check our dog’s water bowls after each walk and sent cute pictures!”

“We have used Christine as a dog walker on several occasions, and she is great! Christine does a good job of communicating with us when she takes Linus for his walks, and she takes great pictures! She is punctual, trustworthy, and our dog loves her. Highly recommend!!”

“Shannon is such a caring, attentive, dog-walker. She goes above and beyond to make sure that my best friends are taken good care of while with her. She remembers to bring water, treats, and even brushes them when she returns from the walk! Very grateful for her services while I am at home juggling my business, and new born. Thank you Shan!”

“I was very pleased with Lucas’ care for Brutus and give him 5 well-deserved stars! From the very beginning, he was professional, timely and communicative. He provided regular updates during his walks and was wonderful with Brutus. He followed instructions to a tee and was a great listener. I came home to a happy & blissfully tired Brutus everyday this week. I’d recommend Lucas to anyone looking for a caring and efficient dog walker :)”

“Had a last minute need for a walk, and Brenna was perfect. She kept me updated and followed some very specific (ridiculous!) directions for how to get to my apartment! Will definitely use again!”

“Ashely is the dog whisperer! My dog Trudy gets so excited to see her and she truly loves him. She is very attentive to individual dogs needs and always makes them feel at peace. You can’t go wrong with her watching your pup! I think my dog may like her more than me haha.”

“Zara did a wonderful job walking our big husky-shepherd Luna! She asked questions as needed, and was responsive and flexible. We will definitely use Zara again for future engagements— highly recommend her!”

About: Sorry to everyone in California, I will sincerely miss you all! I'm in Hattiesburg, Mississippi now! I used to be a cat guy, until.... I met & was in a situation where I bonded with my sister's dog: 'Flower' about 7 years ago. My father was ultra abusive with me. When I was 7, I had a tiny bit of fear of dogs. At my father's friends bbq one day, my father, knowing my fear of dogs, forced me to pet his friends German Shepherd, to "be a man!". The GSD bit me & since then I wanted absolutely nothing to do with any dog! That is until, as mentioned above, I was able to bond with my sister's dog Flower, & her unconditional love that was something that was missed in my life up until this point. From then on, I diligently, & definitely became a dog guy, my life was changed 180 degrees, & now devoting the rest of my life & career with dogs! I will love your dog as it were my own! I truly love dogs, & they have changed my life positively! So it's a must I return the favor! Just being around dogs is therapeutic. (*NOTE* my dog Edmond is my service/support animal in training & he is almost always with me. He is well behaved & was socialized very early, so he loves people & other dogs!) I previously groomed dogs at PetSmart, volunteered at the East Bay SPCA, so I understand basic behaviors & reading body language in dogs, walked/sat/boarded/daycared a total of over 700 dogs in less than 1 year! Now I amactively pursuing a career in training dogs professionally. I have experience in bathing & brushing, nail trim/grinds (I have my own equipment), anal gland expression, ear cleaning, & teeth brushing, & have experience in basic training. I value respect to the highest regard, & with respect, trust comes naturally. I am 45 years old, but still youthful! I look forward in having lots of positive experiences with your dogs! Thank you for reading this! I can do daycare any day of the week. I am able to board now up to 1 large breed dog, or 2 small/medium breeds. I love interacting with my dogs outdoors most of the time. I will of course, go over with my clients if they have specific instructions for their pets, & most likely if it's a sitting or daycare, we would be out having fun, safely!
