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.

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!

“Lilian is a great communicator, very reliable, and Zeke loved his walks with her! Thanks so much, Lilian! Looking forward to having you hang out with Zeke in the future!”


“Briana has been wonderful with my pup, who can be difficult to walk and has had an injury recently. My dog loves her, and Briana's been so responsible, responsive to requests, and has taken great care of my dog.”

I also love being active for high-energy dogs and taking them on walks all around Oakland, exploring different trails, parks, and neighborhoods. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs young and old, and show each of them love, care, and patience as if they were my own. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs to openly play in, and a large home for both dogs and cats to enjoy during their inside time. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am typically home all day as I work from home, and have plenty of availability. As I work from home and have flexible hours, I'm available for walks, doggy day care , or boarding all week. I'm flexible with working hours and am happy to accommodate your needs! I live in a house with a fenced-in yard, so your pup can play in the yard as well as hang out inside the home.

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!

Iveywood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Megan is excellent- she stepped in at the last minute when we were in a bind and walked our two greyhounds for several days while we were out of town. We are extra protective of our dogs and she impressed us with her experience and knowledge. We really trust her and would not hesitate to recommend her!

Andy did a great job. We didn’t get a chance to meet in person before they came to walk the dogs as it was a last minute request so we FaceTimed and they asked all the right questions. Dogs were happy and exercised. Andy was very communicative. Would definitely book with them again.

Keira was incredible! Communicative, understanding, and most importantly for us experienced and understanding of our reactive dogs needs! She was able to take our energetic girl out for an hour each day. Our dog instantly felt comfortable with her, and we knew she was in good hands! Thanks so much, Keira.

Mary was an excellent dog walker! She was able to take our request last minute, giving her only about an hour or two to get to our place. We had a quick phone chat, and she made everything so easy and stress-free. I really appreciated her reassurance. She even noticed a broken light fixture on our fence and didn’t leave it out. Instead, she brought it in and placed it on the patio deck. What stood out even more was that she walked our 14-week-old puppy, who is still learning how to walk on a leash, along with our other dog. Walking two dogs was no small task, but she managed it wonderfully! She even spent extra time playing with them in the backyard, petting them, and playing catch. To top it off, she cleaned up some poop from the yard, which was above and beyond. We’re so grateful for her care and attention, and I highly recommend her. Thank you, Mary! We’ll definitely keep you in mind for future bookings.

I cannot recommend Saverio highly enough as a dog walker! From the very first meeting, it was clear that he has a deep love for animals and a genuine passion for his work. Saverio is incredibly reliable and always arrives on time, which gives me peace of mind knowing my furry friend is in great hands. What truly sets Saverio apart is his personalized approach. He takes the time to understand my dog's specific needs, personality, and quirks. Our Coraline is a rescue and she is very shy and jumpy when she meets new people, but with Saverio she clicked immediately. If you're looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker, Saverio is the one!

I want to send yet another BIG THANK YOU to Ayashe for loving on my babies like I do and always caring for them with professionalism and kindness. I have enjoyed working with her for over a year where she reliably showed up to walk them in a timely manner, communicated regularly, and became a trusted part of our routine/household. Even though I booked one walk at a time, I was a recurring client this whole time and could not have done it without her. Thank you so much for all your help and being an ideal Rover walker 🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rebecca took such good care of our pup. She sent photos while they were on their walk and let us know that he hadn’t eaten his food the night after we left, and that his tummy was a bit upset. The dog seems glad to have us home but also seems like he had a great time hanging with Rebecca.
