Twix loves her so much! He knows her car at this point and is jumping for us to let him go with his friend. She is so amazing withy doodle who isn’t the easiest to walk cause he is a puller and she does perfect with him. I have also used her for boarding and day care and I know when he is with her he is so happy and well taken care of ♥️

About: I am an experienced cat and dog sitter, either alone or multi-pet household! Having lived with 4 cats and 1 dog growing up and then with raising one cat on my own, I am very familiar with the unique dynamics of a feline + dog, solo dog, or solo feline home (different diets, oral hygiene, cleaning mult. litter boxes, administering oral meds, varying play times). Rest assured, I will take the time to know your pet to ensure they feel safe and loved while you are away <3 Currently, looking for a full time job, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your furbaby! Available anytime and day of the week. I prefer to visit the hooman's home to meet the furbaby and start establishing a relationship. I am very detail orientated and want to know as much about your typical routine, so they don't get as stressed. Some of those details include if they are food and or toy driven, knowing any silly quirks they may have, and grooming (oral hygiene, grooming, etc.) routines!

About: While I do not currently share my life with a dog of my own (it's a matter of being unable to adopt every dog I lay my eyes on!), I dearly love helping pet parents keep their dogs happy and healthy and preferably in their own homes while their owners are away. I love to travel,and love to spend time with as many dogs as I can possibly fit into my day. You can often find me chatting with others about their animals, and I am always interested in hearing about every little detail. I enjoy helping people get a greater understanding regarding the welfare of their animals, and sometimes bore my friends with random and obscure dog breeds, and what I know of their temperament and behavior. I'm proud to say I try to research as many breeds as I can so that I know what to expect, and hey, it's always fun to just know why and how a breed came into existence! I happen to also be studying veterinary technology, for the knowledge of nutrition and behavior, since surgery is more information than I want. :D I am also very happy to drop by or stay with your cats, and am quite used to the varying personalities of these small creatures: the ones who like to play hide and seek, the aloof, the playful, and the grumpy. I don't mind at all, as long as the cat is comfortable, eating, and using their litter box, all is well! I can work my day around your dog or cat, as I am a dedicated sitter, and much prefer to spend my time enjoying the company of cats and dogs as much as I can. I much prefer to stay with the dog or cat in their own home, as having their familiar surroundings help them remain peaceful, happy, and comfortable.

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. My many years of pet ownership has trained me for this opportunity. My Chewy is both happy and healthy. I’m recently retired. My daily schedule is built around the needs of my boy, Chewy. He’s walked at minimum three (3) times a day; my friends and family know the routine. I have a secure deck to allow fresh air and free movement with guaranteed security. I have a crate if needed, but think all dogs should have free movement daily.

About: For several years, I've helped look after the pets of my family, friends, and roommates. I currently live with 3 cats, have lived with a pit lab mix for several years, and a chihuahua as well. I've taken care of pets with various temperaments, from more outgoing and energetic, to more anxious and reserved. Every pet has their own needs, personality, and boundaries. I take this into consideration every time I care for a pet. I've puppysitted for both of my sisters, will routinely look after my sister's double doodle for weeks at a time, and we're always excited to see each other. While I do not currently own any pets, I'm a proud pet uncle who is always excited to spend time with people's dogs and cats. I am currently flexible to provide pet care on any day, weekday or weekend. My only constraint is that I'm busy on Wednesday afternoons from 2pm-5pm. I'm primarily focusing on providing house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in services for both dogs and cats. In certain cases, I can provide boarding services for cats in my apartment, but not for dogs. If interested in boarding services for your cat, please contact me and we can discuss if I can provide the right service for you. I live in a large apartment with 3 cats that stay in my roommates' rooms. There are a lot of windowsills for cats to lay on, a sun room, and cat toys as well. My roommates' cats have experience being around other cats, but dogs not so much. Therefore, I'd only offer boarding services for cats, where I'd keep the cat's feeding area and litter box in my room. When housesitting and providing drop-ins, I'll ensure your home stays clean, pet stays in whatever boundaries you specify (i.e. if you don't allow your pets on furniture or certain floors). I'll respect your home as if it were my own.

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.

About: Hello!! My name is Julia I’m 23 and I love animals. Ever since I was little I’ve always had a special interest in nature and animas especially cats! One of my favorite childhood memories is rescuing feral kittens in my neighborhood and finding homes for them. In my teens years I started dog and cat sitting for friends and family and ever cared for horses and rabbits in my high schools FFA. As of now I’m a painter and artist with a lot of time on my hands and would love to spend some quality time with your pets! When staying with a pet I like to follow a schedule for potty and feeding times since familiar routines can calm pets that might be anxious around new people :)

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Oakland dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Oakland.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
