Dog Walking Mosswood

“Ollie loves his walks with Nicole! Nicole has been walking Ollie on a regular basis for the past few weeks, and we can't say enough good things about her! She's very communicative and reliable. We would highly recommend Nicole to any dog parents!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have been pet sitting for friends and family in Minnesota for years. Just relocated to the Bay Area and making it official on Rover. For the first time in my life, I don’t have a pet of my own. I’d love to take care of and spend that pet love on yours. I work remotely and run my own business, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can work around whatever your pet needs throughout the day. I’ve owned a reactive, anxiously attached dog, so I’m comfortable with the ones that need a little extra patience. Senior dogs, high-anxiety pups, all sizes, I’ve got it covered. I work remotely and my schedule is flexible. If your pet needs full-time company, I can take my calls and work from where they are. I only book when I’m fully available, so if I’m on the calendar, I’m present. I come to your pet so they stay in their own home, in their own routine, with their own familiar space. You’ll get updates and photos so you always know how things are going.

“The dogs are having a great time with Matthew walking them. I would definitely recommend him.”

About: Hello, my name is Heather. I’m an Oakland based animal care giver & artist. Offering dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight care. I’m most experienced with cats, dogs, ferrets and bunnies, but have a love for all in the animal kingdom. I once trained a fighting pit bull into a licensed assistance dog. It was exhausting but so fulfilling! I like to spend my free time creating art, walking the beach and hiking. Does your lonely pet enjoy this type of environment? Let’s meet up! I can’t wait to meet you & your furry friend 🐾 As a freelance artist, I enjoy a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, dependable pet care with plenty of time for walks, play, and companionship. Your pets deserve safe, loving, and reliable care. 5 Star care- attentive, and trustworthy, I provide peace of mind while keeping your furry family happy, secure, and comfortable.

“Shelly was super reliable and sweet to my dog Mazzy! Would def hire again!”

About: I would describe myself as an animal lover and have two cats of my own. I'm hoping one day to get a dog, perhaps some birds and chickens too. Is that too much? Pets are the best of friends especially when life seems a bit chaotic. I understand that most people don’t have the time to care for their pets as much as they would like to, whether it’s a busy work schedule or a desperate need for a vacation from it all. I’ll be there to step in for you so your pet has someone to give them attention, treats, walks, and those good scritchy scratchies. I'm taking some time to focus on job searching and personal projects so my schedule is rather flexible to take on some pet care a few times a week. Unfortunately, due to owning two cats of my own, I can not take on other animals in my apartment. I have a reliable mode of transportation, so I can come to the owner's house and easily take them on adventures outside (park, beach, etc) in my car.

“Esteban quickly became my puppy's very best friend (I hope my kids don't see this). My puppy returns from walks and passes out for hours. Esteban is reliable and my puppy is always excited to go on their walks. He also communicates well and gives great updates on any activity from the walk.”

“Thanks!”

“Jazminn is great! Rilo has so much fun on her walks. I really appreciate how well Jazminn communicates. Her updates are helpful in that she lets me know if she and Rilo need anything for the walks. I really appreciate that. I feel very secure in knowing that my senior pup Rilo is in experienced hands.”

About: I’ve always loved caring for pets and have hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. I've been a life-long dog lover and I currently have a cat of my own that fits my current lifestyle. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including puppies, senior dogs, and shy or anxious animals. I’m patient, attentive, and flexible, making sure each pet gets the care, attention, and routine they need. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and even gentle training reinforcement if needed. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I'm currently working a remote job and have a very flexible schedule. I can be available for house check-ins or walks at basically any time of day, every day of the week. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, providing feeding, playtime, walks, litter box maintenance, and any medications as needed. I treat each home with respect, keeping it clean and organized, while making sure pets feel safe and happy in their familiar surroundings.

“Christina was amazing. She was really responsive since the begining and kept us updated through the pet/house sitting and drop ins. Even our shyest dog took we'll to her. Definitely booking with her in the future.”

About: Most people who watch pets learned to love animals as adults. I didn't have that learning curve — I grew up with dogs, cats, reptiles, and insects from age 5, which means I've been reading animal behavior my whole life. I notice things: a subtle shift in posture, eating less than usual, a dog that's friendly but actually anxious underneath. That kind of attention comes from decades of hands-on experience, not a weekend certification. I'm also comfortable with animals that other sitters turn away. High-energy breeds, strong personalities, dogs with a history — I've handled them. I grew up around pit bulls, rottweilers, and boxers, so I'm not rattled by size or intensity. For senior dogs, I understand that slower doesn't mean less — they need more patience, more observation, and a sitter who notices when something's off. I give that naturally. What you won't get with me is performative care. No staged photos where your dog looks confused on a couch. Real walks, real attention, real updates — because I actually enjoy this. Animals have always been a constant in my home — I've kept reptiles, invertebrates, and aquatic species, so feeding schedules, habitat checks, and daily observation are just part of my natural routine. Adding a dog or cat to that rhythm is natural. Boarded pets get morning and evening walks, meals on their schedule, and company throughout the day. I work from home most days, so your pet isn't sitting alone — they're in the room with me. In my home, boarded dogs get their own space to decompress when they need it, plus free roam once they're comfortable. I match energy — calm dogs get quiet time, high-drive dogs get real exercise. Cats get a separate setup with vertical space and zero forced interaction. I follow whatever routine the owner sends me: feeding times, dietary restrictions, medication, quirks. At a client's home I treat it like a trust exercise — everything stays exactly as the owner left it, and I send photo updates so they're never wondering.

About: **Available after 3pm on M,Tu,W,Th, Anytime on F,Sat,Sun** I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have always loved being around animals. Growing up, I regularly helped care for my family’s dogs whenever they needed support, which gave me plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I’m also a cat parent to my two kitties, Michi and Kiki, whom I’ve raised since they were just 8 weeks old. They’ll soon be two years old! Caring for them has given me daily experience with cat care, routines, playtime, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for pets. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I am currently a master’s student at UC Berkeley. Most days of the week, I end classes at 1pm, so I will be available after that, Sundays and Saturdays the whole day! I have a large apartment for your pup to play in! I also have an outside space for your pup to play in with supervision. Your pet will be my priority during our time together, and rest assured that they will be treated with the utmost respect, love, and kindness!

About: I provide calm, attentive care with a focus on routine and safety. I understand that every dog is different, and I aim to keep their environment steady and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks and occasional hikes, giving them time to explore while keeping things structured and safe. I adjust to each dog’s energy level, whether they prefer an active outing or a more relaxed pace. I’m organized, communicative, and reliable, and I take pride in making pet parents feel comfortable and informed. You can expect clear updates, thoughtful communication, and plenty of photos so you can feel at ease while your dog is in my care.

“Mary did an amazing job. I have a pet cam and saw how happy they were to see her. They rarely get off the couch for me. She sent photos every walk and they looked great.”

“Robin has been great at communicating quickly, getting to know my doggo, and gaining his trust! He’s a pandemic puppy so isn’t used to a dog walker. I’m so glad she’s been able to get him going as I start to go back to work.”

Elizabeth G.

“Laura was wonderful with our pup Hank! She was available on short notice for a meet and greet and walk, and was super communicative. Hank took to Laura’s kind energy instantly. We are excited to have Laura walk Hank again in the future!”

Ashley F.

“Tim provided wonderful care for my puppy during a difficult time. They understood her needs, communicated clearly, were really respectful of my home. I noticed that they remembered specific concerns I had made sure to keep those im mind. I also appreciated the thoughtful pictures they sent and their intentionality in the details they provided about how the care went and how much puppy was doing. Thank you, Tim!”

Riley D.

“Christine was absolutely amazing with my very shy/anxious dog. She was patient and gentle with her during the first meeting, and she was available last minute. Definitely recommend!”

“Abigail did a fantastic job caring for my pup. She exceeded my expectations and met all of our needs. Can’t wait to have Abigail come back again. Cheers!”
