Dog Walking North Oakland

About: I have experience walking and caring for dogs of many different sizes and ages. I always work hard to keep your pet safe and happy! I'm currently career-searching, so I have a lot of time to devote to your pet. I'm currently available any day and time. I am very considerate of other's homes and always make sure to clean and make sure everything is tidy before I leave. I am aware of a pet's boundaries and can adapt to any temperament.

“Wonderful, thank you so much!”

“Alexander helped me out when I found myself in a pinch at the last minute. He walked my dog twice a day for multiple days. He was punctual and communicative via the app. I will definitely reach out to him in the future.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover! I have had dogs my whole life, and currently have 2 senior dogs that I am trusted to take care of. In addition, I pet sit for neighbors when they are away, and have done so throughout high school and college. I also adopted a cat in 2021, doing the necessary research for cat ownership! And have had a gecko, so I am no stranger to reptiles. I am currently a student at Pitt, majoring in education. I am available Mondays (evenings), Tuesdays (morning/evening), Wednesday (evening), Thursdays (morning/evening), Fridays (evenings), Saturdays, and Sundays!! The longest I am away when petsitting is no more than 6 hours (Mondays and Wednesdays). I try to be as available as possible when taking care of pets. This means staying with them as much as possible, spending the night, etc. At the owners request! I also don’t mind doing work such as bathroom cleanup, brushing, certain foods, administering pills, etc. Whenever I take care of someone’s animals, I like to treat them as my own and prioritize their wellbeing!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to calm senior pets who need a gentler pace. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always prioritize safety, whether that’s sticking to your dog’s routine, handling leash walks confidently, or keeping a close eye on behavior. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, crate routines, and giving lots of love and attention. What sets me apart is how seriously I take communication and trust: you’ll always get updates, photos, and full transparency so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh, which actually gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I have breaks throughout the day between classes, so I’m able to stop by for walks, drop-ins, or check-ins without rushing. Evenings are usually wide open for longer visits or house-sitting, and weekends are very flexible as well. My schedule is consistent week to week, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication about my availability. Since I provide care in my clients’ homes, my priority is always to maintain a safe, calm, and familiar environment for your pets. I follow your routines exactly; feeding schedules, walk routes, crate rules, playtime, and any house guidelines you prefer so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and leashes to prevent escapes, and I make sure your home stays tidy and respected throughout my stay. I communicate frequently with updates and photos so you always know how things are going, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or appetite. My goal is to give your pet reliable, loving care while giving you total peace of mind.

“Ashley has been incredible walking my fur baby 3 times a week while I have been recovering from surgery. She is super communicative, very sweet, and Mira immediately was comfortable with her. Highly recommend!!!”

“Ava was great with my pup! She responded quickly, was reliable, and took her on a nice walk. I really appreciated the prompt photo updates and communication throughout the visit. I would definitely book with Ava again and would recommend her to others looking for a dependable dog walker.”

“Shannon has walked bear 2 times now! Despite the snowy cold weather for the first walk, Shannon was still willing to walk bear, which I really appreciate! Took photos and followed all the instructions I gave about giving treats! Thank you!!!”

About: Hi my name is Julia, I am 25 years old living in Pittsburgh, PA. For all 25 years I have lived, I have been surrounded by animals. I grew up with three dogs, who I care for deeply. We also had a neighborhood cat who I really consider a part of the family! I have spent countless time caring for the pets of family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and even my hairdresser! I can confidently say that I have formed great bonds and a sense of trust with all pets I have watched! This care ranges from cats to dogs, senior to puppies (currently). I truly love animals and constantly want to be surrounded by them. Being a 25 year old in a city away from your family and pets can be tough, so I hope that this opportunity can help me while I await having my own cat one day (hopefully soon!) I currently work full-time, but I work primarily from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I typically go into the office just one day per week, and if I need to be there more often, it's usually only for a half day. My schedule can vary depending on work needs, but I have the flexibility to accommodate pet care throughout the day and will always communicate my availability clearly. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely and keep their schedule as consistent as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals, and lots of love. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and outdoor time, and I always prioritize a safe, stress-free environment. I also believe communication is key. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. From the age of five all the way through my undergrad years, my home was always full of pets — dogs, cats, fish, lizards, you name it — so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. That experience started hands-on and early: when I was nine, I helped deliver my dog’s litter of puppies. Today I share my life with my dog, Ollie, whom I raised myself from the day we brought him home from the breeder as a puppy. Knowing a dog from puppyhood — the training, the routines, the little quirks — has given me a lot of patience and a good instinct for what each individual animal needs. The services I offer: Dog walking — A safe, leashed walk at the pace and distance that suits your dog, with plenty of sniff time, potty breaks, and fresh water when we get back. I’ll always let you know how the walk went. Drop-in visits — Feeding and fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, medication if needed, and real one-on-one time for play, cuddles, or just company so your pet isn’t alone all day. I’ll tidy up any messes and double-check doors and gates before I leave. House sitting — Overnight care in your own home, where your pet is most comfortable. I keep their normal routine intact — meals, walks, bedtime, all of it — and keep your home secure and tidy while you’re away. My availability: I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means pet care fits naturally into my day instead of being squeezed around a commute. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week — mornings, midday, afternoons, and evenings — and I’m able to accommodate both recurring bookings and last-minute requests. Because I’m home most of the day, I can give your pet consistent attention and plenty of time, not a rushed fifteen minutes between meetings. My own daily rhythm with Ollie already revolves around walks and playtime, so your pet slots right into a routine I genuinely look forward to. What you can count on: I know that trusting someone with your pet — and often your home — is a big deal, and I never take that lightly. I show up when I say I will, follow your instructions closely, and send photos and updates during every service so you always know how your pet is doing. If anything ever seems off, you’ll hear from me right away. There’s nothing I enjoy more than a happy dog at the end of a good walk or a cat that finally decides you’re worth sitting next to. I’d love to give your pet that kind of care while you’re away — and I’m always happy to do a Meet & Greet first so you and your pet can get comfortable with me before booking. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which makes pet care a natural part of my day rather than something I have to work around. I can accommodate walks, drop in visits, and house sitting throughout the week in the morning, midday, afternoon, or evening. I am also able to respond to last minute or recurring requests. Since I am home most of the day, I can give your pet consistent attention and stay close to their normal routine, whether that means a lunchtime walk, a couple of check ins, or overnight care in your home. My own dog Ollie keeps me on a steady rhythm of walks and playtime, so fitting your pet into that flow is easy and something I genuinely enjoy. Because I offer dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting, most of my care takes place in your home and neighborhood, and I treat both with real respect. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, follow safe routes, pay attention to weather and pavement temperature, and stay focused on their comfort and body language. For drop in visits, I follow your instructions closely including feeding, fresh water, medications, potty breaks, litter boxes, and plenty of attention and play. I always double check doors, gates, and locks before I leave. For house sitting, I keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible in their own familiar space, keep your home secure and tidy, and treat it with the same care I give my own. Throughout every service, I send photos and updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable, and I reach out quickly if anything ever seems off. Trust is the foundation of this work, and I never take it for granted.

About: My love for dogs is unmatched! I’m a junior in college who absolutely adores dogs and also happens to want to make money for tuition😂 School Year Hours: House sitting only available on weekends (Fri-Sun/Mon) Walking/Drop Ins available on Mon, Wed, Fri It’s a confusing schedule so if you need anything please reach out and I’m sure we can work something out! I will treat your animals with the care, love, and respect they deserve. Everything I do, I put 110% into, and I’ll make sure your pups feel loved! I always make sure to check if there’s ever notes from the client, get the important things done (like meds, food, necessary walks/bathroom) and then be able to focus on playtime or whatever your pup wants!

“Brittani was great to work with, super quick to respond and was able to help with such short notice. Mosa seemed to love her, so we’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I will love your dog as if they were my own and take care of them exactly as you would! I know how fickle and specific dogs can be and I will do my best to make your dog feel confident and comfortable while you are gone. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes in urban and suburban areas as well as experience with puppies and potty training. I work part time, so I have tons of time to shower your pets with love and attention and am very flexible for the needs of you and your pet. I will always leave a space better than I found it and will take good care of your pet and your home so that you can feel confident that your pet is having a good time while you are gone!

About: For more than 10 years, I have volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I care for dogs by feeding, walking, and supporting their daily needs. I have been a lifelong dog owner and have developed a strong understanding of their care and behavior. I currently have two dogs: a dachshund and a medium-sized Labrador/Pit Bull mix. Spending time with dogs is something I enjoy, and caring for them is rewarding. Their companionship brings me a great deal of happiness. I currently work full-time and am available during the evenings. Beginning in the fall, I will also be attending school, so my availability will vary depending on the day. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, especially playing with their favorite toys. We often play fetch outside and enjoy relaxing together in the sunshine.

“Super sweet person! Our golden, Ellie, seemed to really enjoy spending time with Jackie on her walk and she was able to use her commands and had control of her but was still very friendly and caring. I would definitely recommend Jackie.”

“Linn is so sweet! This was my first experience with Rover and I’m so thankful that I booked with Linn. She went above and beyond and met with me/my dog a couple of days before walking her, just to ensure that my dog would recognize a friendly face coming to walk her. You can tell Linn is a total animal lover and is great w dogs. Wonderful communicator, can’t recommend highly enough!”
