Dog Walking Laurel

“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: Through having dogs myself, dog walking, and taking care of friends dogs for the past 9 years I have experience sitting, walking, and playing with dogs. In the past year I have adopted the sweetest dog named Cariño, a 35 pound terrier mix, and have cared for them through their puppy stages and now into adulthood! I primarily have experience with dogs weighing 10-60 pounds and dogs of all ages. I'm good at taking control of a situation and can also understand when a dog is scared, upset, or just needs a break. I have a car so I can come to you and live walking distance from Lake Merritt. I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to go on hikes, walks, or check in on your pup! I am flexible during weekdays and am unavailable on weekends currently. I have experience raising my own currently one and a half year dog. I can easily crate your dog and leave them well-rested. I do not let dogs go outside unleashed unless there are specific instructions to do so. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule so I am happy to make things work with your pet needs whether it's morning, middle of the day, or early evenings. I am not accepting pets in my home because we have a dog and a cat who are a bit sensitive to other pet friends.

“Lynn did an amazing job walking my large dog Benjamin. I appreciated how communicative that she was. She is clearly a dog lover and very well prepared.”

“I would highly recommend Isadora. She was able to gain the trust and love of my two Goldendoodles, Kona (80 pounds) and Bear (50 pounds). Super communicative, thoughtful, and consistent. Highly recommend!!”

“Laura has helped us care for our senior dog in the most loving way! She provided daily walks for Delilah, she was always prompt, had great communication, and put my mind at ease.”

“Was so glad it ended up being you that walked our Sam! Love the fact that you've walked him before with Wag and hope we get you to walk him again! He seemed so satisfied when we got home last night and usually he is bouncing off the walls trying to go pee, but he was just excited to see us last night instead. That tells us you walked him well!! Thanks Adam!”

About: Greetings! I'm Patrick. I've done a bunch of pet and house sitting on another platform, as well as for family, friends and acquaintances, besides having my own pets or sharing them with past partners. I used to practice massage therapy and reiki. I bring a similar intention to handling pets that I brought to responding to clients needs. I'd like to do part-time pet care in the East Bay, with some availability to housesit for longer sits around the full Bay Area. I can be more spontaneous for pet care near Oakland depending upon the timing. For longer resident sits please try to give me a week or two notice with a request. I'll see what works. Thanks! What an honor it is to care for people's homes and pets! I feel excited to transition my pet and house-sitting to this platform. Thanks for your consideration. I enjoy caring for pets and homes. I appreciate the trust-building process, staying accountable and growing as a person, all which these experiences foster. I intend to be a respectful well-communicating sitter and to provide a safe fun atmosphere for your pets. I appreciate receiving questions and feedback during a video chat or in person meet and greet where we get to know each other.

About: I’m the devoted doggie aunt to some pretty fantastic pups, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. Walks aren’t something I rush through—I’m happy to let your dog sniff, explore, get some exercise and enjoy being outside. I’m dependable, attentive and comfortable following your dog’s particular routine, whether that means a brisk walk, a leisurely neighborhood sniffari, playtime or just some extra company and affection. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own—even though I’m still waiting for one of my own! My schedule is currently very flexible, which means I can accommodate weekday and weekend visits and walks, including daytime hours when many people are at work. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine and give them the time and attention they’re accustomed to. I know that trusting someone with your pet—and access to your home—is a big deal. I’m mature, dependable, communicative and respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I follow instructions carefully, pay attention to changes in behavior, and know how to stay calm if something unexpected happens. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness and affection.

About: Gentle (or jumpy!) giants are my specialty. I’ve spent the last 15 years sharing my life with Bullmastiffs, Dogues de Bordeaux and Cane Corsos from puppyhood to passing. Medium dogs are great but the big boys and girls are my heart. All ages welcome. My home is 100% set up for dog life. I’m retired from my full-time career but still work very part-time as a CrossFit coach, and also workout daily. Mornings I’m at the gym but home between classes and all afternoon. I have time for potty in the morning and awesome walks in the afternoon. Of course, cuddle and play time included! I have a fully fenced back yard, a dog run for their business, and a big dog bed in my living room. I have plenty of sanitized toys. Basically my home is set up to share with dogs. Unfortunately, my last baby crossed the rainbow bridge last September so I’m taking this opportunity to care for yours.

About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals whether my own, friends, families, or neighbors. I have taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, geckos, mice, birds, the list goes on. I have lots of extra love to give to your fuzzy friends! I recently moved back home to Oakland. Due to my lenient schedule I am available practically anytime during the week (weekends included) and have plenty of time to devote myself to caring for your pets! I’m a very attentive pet sitter, I’d love to practice any behaviors or tricks you are working on with your pet. My neighborhood is a huge dog walking community, which provides me with the safety to walk your pets any time of day!

About: I love dogs so much and I know that may sound generic but dogs are so pure and lovable. My love of dogs started with a dog sitting gig that sparked this love and lead me to be a pup parent to Colonel Peanut who passed in 2020. He was a three legged trip that was my ride pr die for 8 years. Since his passing I have leaned into dog walking and dog sitting for others while the grief moves in waves. Point Isabel is one of my favorite places if your pup is an off leasher! Otherwise I love neighborhood walks where we can explore and smell and admire the flowers and discover birds of your area. I have experience with basic training, administering meds, and observing your pup to see what they are telling me they need. I work from home and can be somewhat of a house cat myself if I'm not out for walks with pepperonis. I have a very flexible schedule to fit your pet's needs. I can accommodate last minute booking so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I know what it’s like to be a pet parent so I will treat your pet and home as my own. I will make sure to check all the boxes like refilling water, feedings, sharing snacks and giving medications, or cleaning/refreshing the litter box for kitties.

About: I've been taking care of pups and kitties since I was about 8 yrs old! I've learned how to identify triggers and/or warning signs with this experience. Hello ☺️ I just moved to the Bay Area and I'm a pawrent to one pup and two kitties! I just got my degree in Video Production/Film and will be freelancing when I can, which means my schedule is very open!! My current availability for drop-in visits and pup walking is Monday- Sunday 6am-10pm, unless it's a blocked out date. I would prefer to have a meet & greet before any booking. This helps me understand how to properly care for each pet. I always want to make sure that each furry friend, fur parent, and myself feels comfortable before hand. Whenever I drop in to visit, I make sure to do what ever is asked in regards to caring for your furry babies! Potty breaks. Making sure they are fed. Cuddle sessions! And of course making sure that I leave everything how it was before I arrived.

“Korin is reliable, responsive, and most certainly a dog person :) She is very understanding and knowledgeable and Tater was always SO happy to see her 🥰”

About: I've been blessed to be around dogs my entire life, but my life didn't start until my pup Sancho came into this world and picked me to be his best friend. I'm very apt to the needs of any pup in my care and look forward to meeting your pup. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with your pup and a large fenced in yard so they can enjoy some sun. My home offers a large fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your fur baby to frolic. When sitting in your home, I'm very adaptable to your pups day to day, I find this helps ease their mind while their parent/s are away.

“Felicia is a wonderful dog walker and animal lover. I feel very grateful to have her take care of my little ones. She goes above and beyond and has great communication. Thanks so much to her I can enjoy my work day.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or keeping a routine, I provide dependable, compassionate care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight stays. I believe consistency is important, so I communicate clearly and keep pet parents updated throughout every visit Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. Inside, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home while following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I closely supervise pets and send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Zsa-zsa is phenomenal and did a great job caring for my old dog while I was out of town. She is communicative and kind and clearly has a way with the four-legged among us. She'll be our go-to-gal from here on out!”

I know animal behavior and can reliably walk dogs while keeping them calm and engaged for a happy experience for all. I have owned my own cats and dogs for most of my life. After losing my dear Kenny 3 years ago, I have enjoyed caring for the pets of others until I am ready to adopt again. :) I am able to stay in your home for housesitting and am also available for dog walks and cat car pop-ins.

I am able to blend in seamlessly with your family's schedule and needs and I will follow whatever instructions are provided. I only provide services in my clients' homes. I am able to housesit or provide drop in care as needed. I always leave the home in better condition than I found it and truly love spending time with your critters.
