Dog Walking Durant Manor

About: Hello! I recently moved to Oakland after spending the past several years living in Montana and Colorado. I've always been an animal lover and grew up with English Springer Spaniels. I now have a 120 pound Great Pyrenees named Turbo, so I'm very comfortable with large dogs! I'm an avid hiker and love spending time outdoors, exploring new trails, parks, and neighborhoods. I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and will make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care! I recently relocated to Oakland and currently have a flexible schedule, allowing me plenty of time for dog walking and pet care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and exploring local parks and neighborhoods, so incorporating dog walks into my daily routine is a natural fit. I'm available for weekday walks and can accommodate a variety of schedules As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. I prioritize safety, communication, and following each dog's individual routine and needs. During walks, I'm attentive to my surroundings, use secure leashes, and make sure dogs are comfortable and happy. I'm always respectful of clients' homes and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors pets since I was a kid and love to have a fur friend around. Happy to take them out and walk and explore nature. I like to run and hike and bike and a companion on the way is a bonus. They will be greeted with calm warmth and care. I work on trips and when I am home I am home and can be flexible about where I work. This allows me to be present to the pets I care for and to adjust to their needs. I will probably have a run or workout at some point in the day or meet a friend but am quite present. I have a fenced backyard and live by myself in a peaceful quiet space. I enjoy a walk with a fur friend to get out and move and consider it a bonus to have a buddy along.

About: 5+ years of experience caring for pets. Experienced in enrichment, walking, feeding, and giving lots of attention. Very knowledgeable about pet body language and how to keep a pet comfortable. I work part time and look forward to making caring for your pet a full-time occupation! 30-60 minute walks and 1-2hr drop ins very welcome. Aware of safe routes and large parks to take your pet. Well-educated on enrichment techniques to be sure your pet's brain is left happy (and sleepy!) after our meetings.

About: I've been pet sitting/babysitting/house sitting since I was young. I am very reliable and have no problem communicating any problems that arise or questions I may have. I have experience in family/house management as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you! My fiancee and I just moved to the area, so I have lots of free time and availability to give each pet the time they deserve. I am extremely reliable and am willing to work with any schedule and around when you would prefer your pets have attention and their needs taken care of. I understand how important pets are in someone's life and it's a serious responsibility.

“Natasha has been awesome with my fur baby. He enjoys his outing with her, she is attentive to belly rubs and giving my baby love while in her care. Very responsive to my crazy work schedule and stays in communication with me if any changes. I look forward to continued care with her!!”

About: I love playing with dogs! They are so fun to play with. Of course, I do make sure they are well fed and that they’ve gone on their walks. I like to make sure their feeding area is clean so that they don’t pick any germs or parasites and get sick. If they have medication to take, I will happily give it to them without any fear of them potentially biting me or being a bit aggressive. I am free at various times. I do attend university, so I may be unavailable at certain times. However, I am happy to work with you and your pet at whatever time is best. I like to ask questions regarding their pets routine, conditions, etc. It helps me get to know more about the owner as well as their companion. I will always make sure their pet feels safe and that they can trust me. I like to greet myself with pets by holding my hand out for them to smell so that I can pet them with their permission.

“Kim was extremely nice to our pets and did a great job with the dog walk. Her Rover card included a detailed description of their walk and the photos were appreciated. 10/10!”

“Shivani did a great job walking my dog! She communicated well and provided me with updates and cute pictures of them out and about. She even included a picture of my cat who came to inspect her, haha. Def recommend! Thank you! :)”

About: My husband & I have been dog parents for nearly 20 years, caring for our 1st furbaby Gelato for almost 14 years (he passed 3 years ago :( ) and currently caring for his sister from another mister Nutella for the past 5 :). We know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else because they’re truly part of the family. We provide a calm, loving home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and accommodate feeding schedules, medications, and special instructions. We can only care for a small number of dogs at a time so every pup gets plenty of individual attention. We do have a dog at home so we will only be accepting dog-friendly dogs. My husband & I will be watching your pup! I work twice a week in the office but my husband will be home full time. We are available during the weekend full time based on our availability. We have a fence front and back yard. As long as your dog isn’t prone to jumping fences we can leave them in the front yard for some outside play time. If not, we have a backyard with a doggy door where they can go in and out all day. Backyard is fully secured.

“Jonathan was fantastic with Roman this weekend! His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout the walk and sent photos and videos so I could see Roman having a great time. He also made sure Roman was fed and taken care of exactly as instructed. It's clear Jonathan genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and I felt completely at ease knowing Roman was in good hands. Would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive rover!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have a 8 year old Miniature Pinscher, Norman, who has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable in their own way. (I don’t have him with me full time) I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I am home in the morning and evenings on the weekdays. I am free to take your pets out on walks every couple hours or as needed. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets. I ensure their routines are followed, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and always keep a close eye on them to prevent any accidents. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard as well

About: I have owned and cared for both cats and dogs all of my life! I have dog and cat sitted for friends, coworkers, and family! Most of the work involved walking, feeding, and bathing the fur balls! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I work full-time as a legal assistant, primarily from home with only occasional trips to the office. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent attention and care for your pets throughout the day! I am experienced in tending to the needs of young and elderly dogs and cats! If your fur baby has any specific needs to be tended to please let me know so I can accommodate them!

“Zoey is great with Eli. He looks forward to seeing her for his walks. Communication is great and I love seeing the videos and pics of their walks! Would highly recommend her.”

“Vania is solid and reliable! My 45lb high energy pup has enjoyed their walks and we look forward to scheduling with Vania next time I neee a sitter.”

About: I am a ER/ICU vet assistant who worked at an emergency vet hospital. I have been working in veterinary medicine for almost 10 years. My main priority is keeping pets safe but also keeping them happy and monitoring their wellbeing. I will be watching their behavior and keeping up with them to make sure they have the best care from me since they are apart of your family. From my animal care background, I will know if there is any distress or additional attention needed. I am familiar with medications, giving medications, and other animal health care needs. If there is an emergency, I am able to handle the situation as necessary. I hold it to the highest standard knowing I am left with that responsibility. I’m currently in school for a few hours a week so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and give lots of love to your kittens! I’m available most weekdays all day except for Mondays and Wednesdays from 12pm-3pm. I have one small senior dog who is not aggressive to other pets. If needed, I can still keep your pup separate from mine. I also have a 5 year old daughter who takes after her mom and LOVES pets but I am always able to set boundaries if needed.
