I am a longtime dog owner and dog lover. I live in East Oakland and work from home on a flexible schedule. One of my favorite things about that is that I can hang out with my sweet dog all day. We love to go out for walks and hikes around the East Bay. I'd be happy to visit your dog on my own or to bring my little guy along so they can play or explore the neighborhood together! I grew up with dogs and have had dogs most of my adult life: Samoyeds, Siberian Huskies, a Rottweiler, a variety of mutts, and my current 16-pound chihuahua/terrier mix. He's 13 but still quite spry. I regularly walk and sit for the dogs of my friends, neighbors, and acquaintances when they need some backup.
