Dog Walking in Joaquin Miller Park, Oakland

“Chiel is amazing! He is super friendly, has positive energy and after meeting, I had no reservations entrusting him with my fur baby. Bowser was smitten at first sight! He enjoyed his first walk and was extremely excited to see Chiel for a second walk. I have already scheduled again. It’s difficult to choose a new walker/sitter from an app, I hope this review helps if your on the fence. You will not be disappointed!”

“Adam did great with our boxer mix! It was our first time being gone long enough to need a dog walker and it was great to be able to trust Adam with that!”

About: I have been caring for pets since I was a child. I have cared for dogs with physical disabilities and who require medications. I am also a nurse so feel very comfortable in the caregiving role. I work from home so have a reasonable amount of flexibility. I take my own dogs for a walk twice a day and regularly visit dog parks for socialization. I have a fully enclosed deck with yard space. I have two dogs of my own one of whom is blind. My kids are 12 and 14 and they also love pets. They would enjoy playing with new pups if the owner's approve.

“Zara was amazing! My mom was set to watch Flaco while I was on an overseas vacation and she injured herself. Zara was able to step in and help for a two weeks coming twice a day with short notice. My mom sang her praises and so did Flaco. Zara was kind, knowledgeable, reliable, and awesome. I would recommend her 1000 times.”

“Friendly, great communicator and patient. Bam bam really enjoyed his walk and is really excited to see you again. Thank you for following directions and being on top of him.”

“I have known Albert for 31 years. It was only about nine years ago that I discovered that like myself, we both shared a love of dogs. This is when I met Albert's little beagle dog...driving several hours to pick the puppy up. The two are inseparable, like me and my shih tzu-chihuahua mix. I know for a fact Albert would give care to any dog belonging to any owner, if he is tasked.”

“Looks great. Thanks Sarah”

“Thea is so clutch!!!”

“Thank you, Nancy, for trying to walk Viggo. Even though he didn’t feel like walking and laid down on the sidewalk, Nancy did her best to get him moving. And she sent cute pics of his protest;)”

“Ostyn walked my dog Lucy for a week when I was disabled. He was extremely prompt and reliable. Also very cordial. Lucy likes Ostyn and was always in a good mood when he brought her home after a walk.”

“Cindy has been such a great help and it gives me peace of mind to know our dog is in caring and reliable hands. Cindy is very responsive and always sends photo updates on how the walk went. I would highly recommend Cindy to anyone who is looking for personalized pet care. :-)”

“Lilian was very responsive and reliable, and most importantly Kimmy was very calm with her and in her presence. Lilian made sure to come and meet Kimmy before sitting her and that gave me a huge peace of mind.”

“Teresa was really nice to accept the job of walking my dog on very short notice. She is great, communicative, and trustworthy and my dog loved her when he met her!”

“Aaron has watched my cat several times and always does a fantastic job. He's very communicative and sends lots of adorable pictures and videos — and is sure to give her lots of cuddles!”

“Anjalie did great walking our recent rescue dog, Nico, a strong and leash-reactive pit bull. She knew just how to handle him, calmly directing him on the walk. They were fast friends by the end of the walk. Nico looks forward to more walks with Anjalie!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life - big dogs, small dogs, special needs dogs - they are my favorite animal and I can't imagine my life without them. I worked in a vet clinic in college and am confident in my ability to take care of your pet. My husband and I have a 3 year old French Bulldog named Hugo who loves to play and sleep equally. Hugo is incredibly friendly, very socialized, and loves to play with other pups! Hugo and I will treat your pet like they are our own and you can rest assured they will be taken care of like no other! I work from home full time and have the ability to provide round the clock care & attention. We live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood that has lots of walkability for morning, mid-day, and evening walks! We have a big house with have a fenced yard and a friendly French Bulldog to help keep your pup company. We also have more than enough space to accommodate crates and any additional special needs.

“Brutus’ first session with Ricky today was excellent! I would recommend Ricky to any dog parent looking for a dog walker. He was professional, courteous, and communicative right from the start. All instructions were followed correctly and their first day went smoothly. The proof was in the pudding when I came home to a tired and very content and smiling Brutus! :)”

“Njeri loves dogs! If you need someone to walk your fur baby while you're away and make sure that they're fed and loved on, she is the one. 🙂”

“She was very nurturing, caring and responsible, great dog provider.”

“Candice was great! Quick to respond to communications and showed up at the exact time requested down to the minute. I can tell from the photos she shared our dogs were fans of hers as well :)”
