Dog Walking in Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland

“Dean is wonderful! He’s a great communicator, and while I haven’t gotten the chance to meet him yet (hence the walking while I’m at work) my neighbors have commented on how friendly and innately good he is with dogs!”

“Jonathan was great with my new pup- who has a hard time warming up to people but immediately went off with Jonathan on his walk! He came back home happy and tired- exactly how I wanted him to be :)”

“Shanley was wonderful with our 8 month old bernadoodle! This was our first experience with Rover with our first dog ever. She had great communication throughout the experience, was super responsive and reliable, and even shared pictures and updates from her walks. We're lucky to have Shanley nearby to help us care for our puppy when work or trips come up. Thank you!”

“Maddie was amazing! I scheduled a last minute 1 hour walk with her for my energetic Vizsla. She was extremely communicative, responsible, and I overall just felt so comfortable entrusting her with my pup and having her access my home to pick him up. She left a detailed Rover Card with great photos. I could not recommend her more highly. I will definitely try to book with her for future walks. Thank you Maddie!”

“Shelly was easy to communicate with, and our puppy Ringo looked like he really enjoyed the walk! We’ll definitely book a walk with Shelly in the future.”

“Kyle was PHENOMENAL with caring for our dog. His knowledge and expertise around pet care was really comforting and his ability to connect with our dog was astonishing. She tends to be a bit shy, but immediately took to his warmth with grace. We highly recommend trusting Kyle with your pet for any and all pet sitter/walker needs! 10/10!”

“Thank you do much Bobby J, Raider was very comfortable with you and you with him. Plus he's been much calmer today after your walk & still tired 8-)”

“Zach did a great job with my pup. He was available last minute when I had an emergency come up ! He sent pics of my dog, she looked like she had a great time. Thanks !”

“Liz was fantastic!! Easy to make the booking, called prior to get detailed info about our dogs needs, great communication and punctual pick up....And our dog loved her!!! Will definitely be booking her aging!!!”

“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”

“Ananda was amazing - she was really helpful coordinating dates/times, she stopped by early to meet my dog, and she was lovely about keeping me updated with everything! I think she’d be a great sitter or walker that I’d recommend to anyone”

“Laura is very gentle, confident and attentive to all we have to tell her (which was a lot!) about our dogs. Lisah is an anxious dog but she takes up to Laura right away!! Thank You Laura!”

“Senny has watched our two cats and dog several times and they all love her. She understands how to work with our small, temperamental dog, taking her on walks without triggering any of her bad habits. And our cats love her!”

“Megan and Jon are the absolute best pet sitters you will find. They took so much care making sure they had all the info they needed before sitting for our two puppies, they were easy to communicate with, and so caring. They gave us regular updates, including photos, and went out of their way to make sure our boys had a fun, safe, and enriching stay at their home. I was so at ease because I knew my boys were not only being watched, but also cherished. Can’t recommend them highly enough!”

About: Hi there! I’m a 35-year-old dog lover based in Upper Rockridge with years of experience caring for dogs, especially Golden Retrievers. Growing up in an extended family that has always had Golden Retrievers, I understand the importance of trust, care, and consistency when it comes to responsibly looking after your dog. I’m highly responsible, detail-oriented, and passionate about ensuring that every walk is not just exercise, but an enjoyable experience for your dog. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, I tailor each walk to meet the unique needs of your pet. As a local resident, I’m familiar with all the best walking routes and parks in the area. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and you can count on me to provide them with the care they deserve. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon! Looking to walk with dogs primarily in the afternoons and evenings or at weekends/over holidays. Open to boarding dogs at my home as well and as needed. We have a fenced yard, the ability to crate dogs and will diligently follow the pet owner’s instructions. Will ask lots of thoughtful questions prior to accepting a task.

“Wenjie did a great job at taking care of my dog and giving her a good workout while we were away. He was very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure she got a good workout during his time with her. Will be booking again!”

“Nate was great overall - great communication, care, and professionalism. Helped us with Jasper while we were out of town for a long day, and went above and beyond. Highly recommended and would book again.”

“Jarrett is an animal whisperer! Even with the most skittish cats and most excitable puppies, Jarrett keeps a calm and relaxed demeanor that makes animals love him. He will take great care of your animals and show them lots of love and affection. Highly recommend!”

“Renae takes wonderful care of her dog Kimchee. She consistently walks her and looks after her every day, feeding her and giving her love. Renae has provided a beautiful and warm home for Kimchee, and you can tell how much the dog loves her. I would trust my dog with Renae any day, and you should, too.”

“Above and beyond. Great experience. Will gladly book again with Esther.”
