Dog Walking Oakland

“Artiss has walked my pup multiple times, and he has always been happy to see her! She has done a great job managing his high energy level, sent wonderful photo updates, and always made sure he went to the bathroom.”

“Levi (Elizabeth) is an incredible sitter with my grumpy old dog! He’s a very difficult boy to work with and barks and barks at her, yet she is patient, kind, and gentle with him, meeting him on his terms. Highly, highly recommend!!”

“Ruari is incredibly reliable, patient, and responsive. She truly goes above and beyond for my fur baby, and I always feel confident knowing he’s in such caring hands. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust with my dog. Highly recommend Ruari to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker!”

About: Hi, I’m Candace! I’m a caring and experienced pet sitter who believes dogs are family. I previously offered pet sitting before taking some time away due to working in office and also caring for my senior dog, Francesca who has since passed. After taking time to grieve the loss of my beloved girl, I’m excited to return to something I truly enjoy: caring for animals. I offer pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Whether your pup needs a walk, a potty break, a meal, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. For boarding, your dog will enjoy plenty of attention, two or more walks a day, treats, cuddles, and indoor playtime. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and special needs. I prefer housebroken dogs but am also comfortable with pups who use potty pads. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I currently work from home. Depending on the day/time of your dog's visit I may have an errand or an appointment to attend to. However, I'm not away for more than a couple of hours. I can alert you to any change in this pattern. I can accommodate most requests. I will care for your dog based on your specifications. I treat all my guests like they’re my own dog.

“Jasmine is awesome. She has been such a help with our German Shepherd who loves her - and even trained her to walk much better within just a few days of walking her! We are so thankful to have a helping hand like Jasmine near to us - so we couldn’t recommend hiring her more highly (though not when we need her!! ?)”

“Mariam has been a great dog walker for our senior dog Hannah- she is attentive, observant, caring and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond by giving our cats some attention as well and picks up on small details with our dog who is on medication which brings us such peace of mind.”

About: I have owned pets since I was a kid, specifically dogs. I have been dog/cat sitting and housesitting for family and friends for the past 5 years, and I am ready to expand my services to others. I work as a barista, so I am the perfect candidate to watch your pup for last minute trips. My schedule is very flexible so reach out! I will give your pets my undivided attention while you are gone so that they feel loved and cared for. I have no problem with difficult pets as well, I don’t judge!

“Lillian has been great with my dogs and very communicative throughout the walks. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, shared updates and photos, and went above and beyond with their care. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule, especially while I was out of town. I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

“Nadine is absolutely wonderful! My dog Maverick tells me about all the fun adventures and colorful sniffs they unfold together. The pictures of Maverick are definitely ones I love to see while I'm off making movie magic to fill his dog bowl and repeat this wonderful cycle. Keep the good vibes going.”

“Consistent, punctual, communicative, and generous. She shows up everyday in a timely manner, cares for my dog, and even gives complementary baths and cleaning if she makes a mess. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🤗 she offers a good range of services as well!!”

About: I’ve always been the go-to among family and friends to watch their animals when they are gone for trips or vacations or need extra help. I’m an avid walker in general, and a walk is always better with a pet! I’ve volunteered for two years at animal shelters, trained and raised a puppy, and have experience caring for pets young and old. I’m currently a writer, remote copy-editor, and substitute teacher with an incredibly flexible schedule at the moment. I can watch, walk, and care for dogs and cats pretty much 24/7 at the moment. The only thing I cannot do is host animals in my home due to my apartment’s lease. Every pet is different and every pet owner cares for their pet differently. Let me know all your animals quirks and needs and I’ll meet them happily! I’d love to walk your dog around the park or neighborhood, give them them their special treats, respect your cat’s weird boundaries and quirks, etc, etc. :)

About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life and my house was always noisy. However, now that I’ve moved away from home I’ve been missing the little guys. Im going into a my Masters program at UChicago! I’m also a barista at Starbucks! I usually work in the early morning so my afternoons are pretty open! I have the upmost respect for others property and place. I would love to board animals at my apartment if you are comfortable with it! However, I will come second to only you in loving your animal.

“One of the best I’ve experienced on this app so far. Bola was very effective, communicative and a joy to work with! Django loves her so much! I highly recommend her for your pet!”

About: I’ve always had a dog in my household and understand the need for love, play, and care. My parents have a samoyed and border collie, which are highly active dogs, and I make it my priority to spend time with them outside whenever I visit home. I’m currently unemployed so I’m available from 9-4 during the weekdays. I can also do weekends, but my schedule changes every so often but can be worked out! I have plenty of toys, trees, scratchers, and space to watch your pets. I do not use plug-in scents, candles, or any harsh cleaning chemicals.

“Gabriela is the most reliable dog walker I’ve had! She is so attentive to my dog and he just loves his fun outdoor adventures”

About: I’ve had my own pets and taken care of others’ pets for decades. I love playing with cats, taking walks with dogs, throwing the ball, and I’m a big-time cuddler. I work from home on my own technology business and I’m available 24 hours a day all over Chicago. I’m also fine with short notice. We have a fantastic gated park across the street that we love taking puppies to. Inside our house there are a dozen different places for dogs and cats to rest. Drop-off and pick-up are easy here, too, as we have a door right onto the street.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Before joining Rover, I regularly used Wag to walk and care for dogs, so I’m familiar with working with different breeds, temperaments, routines, and owner preferences. I’m new to Rover, but not new to dog walking or pet care. I’ve also cared for dogs in my own home and helped friends and family with their pets. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, senior dogs, shy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I enjoy long walks, exploring new neighborhoods, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and care they need. I live on Chicago's Far South Side, but most of my clients are in neighborhoods farther north, including Lincoln Park, Fulton Market, and nearby areas. I’m happy to travel for scheduled walks and drop-in visits, so I’m a good fit if you’re looking for a reliable walker or sitter who is willing to come to you. I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, special instructions, and plenty of updates while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a reliable sitter, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine through caring for my own dogs. I’m used to incorporating walks, feeding, play, training, and general care into my day and paying close attention to each dog’s individual needs. I currently work part-time, and I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety and make sure all dogs are comfortable with one another. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely and focus on keeping their pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, including active and strong working breeds. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and stress-free environment while making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, basic obedience reinforcement, and handling energetic dogs with patience and consistency. Pet parents can expect dependable communication, regular updates, and someone who genuinely treats their dogs like family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine come first. A typical day includes structured walks, playtime, exercise, water breaks, feeding according to your instructions, and plenty of attention. I keep a calm and clean environment while making sure each dog gets the right balance of activity and rest based on their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable with active and strong breeds, so dogs that need confidence, structure, and engagement are in good hands. Whether your pet needs a relaxed companion, exercise, or consistent care while you’re away, I aim to make the experience stress-free for both you and your dog. You’ll receive updates, photos, and quick responses throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 15 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets over the years, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pup wants lots of playtime and walks or is happiest curled up beside me getting cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m especially patient and gentle with dogs who need a little extra time to feel comfortable in a new environment. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and, of course, treats. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pup with the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and daycare on weekdays and weekends. I’m not currently offering overnight boarding, but I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. 🐾 I provide attentive, loving care in your pet’s home, following their usual routine so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s space, and I follow all care instructions closely. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and daytime care, but I’m not able to provide overnight stays or boarding in my apartment.

About: I've had dogs in my family since as long as I can remember. Have always loved them and their loving nature. I currently have a mini-dachshund with my wife and he completes our family. Although he is a small dog I've had bigger dogs all my life and have experience handling them. Your dog will be in great hands! I am a full time remote worker. I usually walk my own dog twice a day and I really enjoy these walks. It gets me out of the house and I realize this is a time for the dogs to also experience the world so I practice patience with them and make sure they get a good long walk. I live with my mini dachshund, who means the world to me. He is a beloved part of my family and gets spoiled with endless love and affection. In return, he fills my life with that same love and brings me so much joy every day.
