Dog Walking in Jefferson, Oakland, CA

About: I'm a nature lover and natural animal lover—especially doggies. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for my my own pets: dogs, a rabbit and a cat. Currently, I help care for my aging mom’s little senior Shitzu: weekly walks at a nearby parks, vet care and lite grooming. Comfortable with harness attaching and removal. My own beloved dog passed away a couple of years ago, I still enjoy encounters with other dogs on my daily walks, giving ear rubs and back scratches—dogs just bring me joy. Currently, I’m retired, so my availability is flexible for you and your pet’s needs. I have experience caring for various breeds and size (small to medium size dogs), but I can handle larger senior dogs. I routinely walk at various designated parks and trails in the East Bay. When I pet-sit in my apartment, I inquire about pets regular routine first: walking, feeding, and medication (if necessary). I require they provide their pet’s own: bedding, sleepwear, food and treats and up to date vaccines. I also ask for emergency info: Vet, pet-owner (s), and an alternate contact. Finally, I will send regular updates via text, pictures or videos of your pets outings or stays—live if you like!

About: I have been a dog lover all my life and would love to have 10 of my own. Since I can't own unlimited pups I'd love to hang out with yours while you're away! I work from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and make sure they get lots of love, exercise, and attention! I have a fenced-in yard, with plenty of squirrels to entertain your dog. I have one dog of my own. My terrier mix, Stanley, is a friendly little guy who’s main hobby is sleeping and sighing like he's had a hard day (I assure you, he has not).

“Kerri is amazing on walks with our energetic and reactive dog Buster! She's very kind and calm with him, and he responds so well with her. We also appreciate how prompt and communicative Kerri has been.”

About: Free Meet & Greets! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From growing up with dogs and cats to caring for senior pets and high energy puppies. I’m the kind of person who talks to animals like they’re family, and I treat each pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. What sets me apart? I pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs and energy. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn energy, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your senior dog needs slow, gentle care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m comfortable administering medications, sticking to specific feeding or care routines, and keeping communication open with you so you feel at ease while you're away. I want every pup (and parent!) to feel safe, happy, and cared for. To keep things smooth and stress-free, here are a few simple guidelines: ⏰ Daycare Hours Daycare includes up to 9 hours of care (a full workday). Please confirm your drop-off and pickup times when booking. If care is needed beyond 9 hours, there is an $8/hour late pickup fee. For pickups after 9 PM, please book an overnight stay instead so your pup can stay comfortable. 🤝 Meet & Greets For all new pups, I require a quick meet & greet to make sure everyone is comfortable and a good fit. 💉 Health & Safety Dogs must be up to date on vaccines and on flea/tick prevention for everyone’s wellbeing. 🎒 What to Bring Please pack your pup’s leash, harness, food, and any meds they’ll need during the day. Familiar items help them feel right at home. 🔄 Cancellations I follow Rover’s standard cancellation policy, but I always appreciate as much notice as possible if plans change. 🐕 Behavior For safety, I cannot host dogs who show aggressive behavior toward people or other pets. I’m currently fully available and have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ve got the time and energy to be there when you need me. Your pet will get consistent care and attention, every time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable. I keep spaces clean, remove any hazards, and never leave pets unsupervised in situations that could be unsafe (like off-leash unless fenced). In your home, I respect your space just as much as I respect your pet—I treat it with care and leave things just as I found them (or cleaner!). I know it takes trust to let someone care for your furry family, and I take that seriously. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care are what I bring every time.

About: I've grown up owning dogs my whole life, and I own my own dog as well. I honestly think it's impossible to be sad when a dog is in your life, and it is our responsibility to take care of them as best as we can. I would love to spend time and take care of your dog in the event you cannot. They should't have to feel so alone when we are busy! My puppy is very social, kind, and loves to play with other dogs. She is spayed so there is no worry there. I promise to take the best care of your dog, as if it was my own. I am also a strong believer in training dogs and keeping them on their own routine. I am very respectful of the rules or standards that each owner has for their dog, and plan on carrying those out exactly as you ask. I have a very flexible schedule currently and can accommodate many different times. Feel free to reach out and we can find a common time that works for you, your pet and me! Safety and trust are the most important aspect of caring for other animals. They are not just our pets but members of our family and I always keep that in mind. I will send photos and always be transparent about how your dog is doing.

There’s was a point in my life where I’ve had 5 dogs at the same time and I care for all of them myself . I bathed them , walked them and played with them . I also took some lovely dogs and cats that didn’t have homes until they found a lovely family . I would like to thank you in advance if you choose me to take care of your lovely family member. I would love and take care of them just like they were mine . Hope to see you guys soon . Currently working but have time to play with fur babies. I am available Friday- Sun.
