Dog Walking In Mosswood

“Nick was incredible with our little guy. He was also super communicative and flexible, and just an incredible pleasure to work with. We hope he’ll continue to be available to hang with our pup.”

“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.”

“Christopher took care of my pup while I was away. At the meet & greet - pre-Rover stay - Kalista fell in love. Christopher shared photos of Kalista and kept me informed. Will definitely rebook!”

About: I’ve always believed dogs are little gifts wrapped in fur and wiggles. I spent 12 amazing years with my husky, who taught me all about loyalty, joy, and the art of a good zoomie. I bring that same love and fun energy to every pup I care for! I’m usually available in the evenings as I work an office job on site and sometimes from home. I’m available only during the day on weekends. I’m in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and entertained—long walks, or a couple of short ones for older dogs. Lots of snuggles included.

“Christina was recommended from my prior Rover dog sitter. I had needed to find a new sitter/walker since my regular Rover dog sitter/walker was not available on my dates. Christina initiated a meet & greet which not every person on Rover offers. I really liked that! She was prompt, professional and my dogs immediately warmed up to her. Although I was out of her normal zip codes, she was willing to walk my dogs when I was out of town. My 2 pups pull on the leash and she was okay with that. I would recommend her to friends & family. Thank you Christina!”

“Laura is terrific with my reactive (and rather clingy) pup! I feel very confident leaving Petey in her care for walks and playtime. Laura is also an excellent communicator.”

Abigail S.

“Esteban is awesome! He takes good care of Sunny, my terrier puppy. And sends me lots of detailed updates and wonderful photos. Sunny seems very relaxed and happy after walks/hangs with Esteban. Thank you so very much for all that you do!”

“Michelle is fabulous with Cami. Cami has been really scared of strangers recently, and Michelle has done amazing trying to get cami to trust her. Highly recommend working with Michelle, especially if you have an angsty dog!”

About: I've been taking care of cats since I was a child and I have been dog sitting family dogs since I was a teenager. Some of my priorities are making sure all furry friends are comfortable while they are away from family and learning their habits so that I can best support their needs. Being in the company of animals brings me great joy so I try to make their time with me as engaging and serene as possible. :) I'm a full time student with flexible schedule as I only attend lectures and can study from most places. Every day looks different for me but I tend to have free mornings and a big block of free time for lunch! I make sure their living space is safe and check their mood to see what steps to take to make sure they can rest comfortably every night. Some examples of safety for me include checking that no food that's toxic is left out, induction stoves locked, windows closed and emergency grooming done (like nail clipping if its uncomfortable for them, or brushing matted fur if its starting to show up, all done if the pet is used to it of course). I keep in mind their energy levels, bowel movements and make sure to communicate any significant change of behavior to pet parents :)

“Thanks!”

“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.

“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!”

“Taylor is the best! Our little dog loves Taylor and gets so excited whenever she sees Taylor! We always feel great and are worry-free when Taylor is with our pup!”

About: Your cats will love me! 😺 ----------------------- Howdy! I have had the great pleasure of loving and taking care of many different pets—horses, reptiles, fish, dogs, and cats. Don’t tell the other species, but I have a special connection with and fondness for felines. (When I was an infant, Isadora the Siamese spooned me while I slept in my cradle. So, I consider myself part kitten.) Cats are my first crush, but sadly, my doggos (senior chihuahuas with attitude) are not cat fans, so I’m seeking out other folks’ kitties to give some affection to. (BTW: My partner volunteers at Oakland Animal Services and fosters unhoused dogs, and most recently, bunnies! -- so, we are an animal rescue family.) I'm versed in pill giving, administering subcutaneous injections (insulin, etc), giving fluids; I also adore all my elder or special needs kittenz. I am highly responsible, reliable, and detail-oriented. I am COVID vaccinated. I provide photo updates, so you can relax and refuel! Another fun fact: Cat Sitting is a full time thing for me; I'm no fly-by-night operation, and I love what I do! I'm available weekdays, weeknights, and weekends. I live near Piedmont Avenue, with easy access to the surrounding neighborhoods. I prefer local, so I can walk, but I do have a vehicle and take my kitty-care most anywhere. From Grand Lake to Piedmont to the Avenue to Temescal and beyond (Rockridge & South Berkeley, I'm looking at you 😺)! Previously, I opened and owned an art framing & gallery space (Panorama, on Grand Avenue); was a commercial photographer; and was a bookseller -- I also currently freelance in the digital realm and pursue art making. If you are traveling for work or for holidays, or need a drop-in when you're not wfh, please reach out! >^•-•^< Any pets who are under my care get the same treatment I would hope for myself—patience, kindness, unconditional love, and acceptance. And, oh yeah, treats. :-)

About: I've grown up with big dogs and am now a dog and cat mom. Before my dog I boarded friends' dogs with me, watching them while they were away. My big dog is from the shelter and is fearful, so I have experience with shy shelter dogs, training, and managing their triggers. I also walk others' dogs. My schedule is flexible and is different depending on the day of the week. Communication is key , but I will try to make things work. At clients' homes I will follow their instructions and communicate any questions. I make sure the doors are locked when I leave, and try to be careful entering so animals don't potentially run away. Depending on instructions or pet temperaments, I will observe and work with them for enrichment and socialization needs. I make sure there is enough water in the bowls and feed as needed. For cats, I clean the litterboxes. They will not be in my home since I have pets.

“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.”

“Alexandria took great care of Duke on daily walks throughout the week. She is very reliable and was responsive to changes in our schedule as well. Would highly recommend her and will book again!”

“Anna was pretty calm and relaxed even though our pup has a hard time when first meeting strangers. She bonded with him quickly and seemed pretty comfortable managing his personality. She also provided updates and pictures. Thank you, Anna!”

Elliot F.

“Laura came walk with me and my puppy Cooper to meet him for the first time and she was great with him! I have a hard time leaving my puppy behind when I need to be away but I know he will be in good hands with Laura.”
