Dog Walking Oakland

About: Hello! I worked at a dog daycare where I was responsible for creating and maintaining a yard environment that is safe, happy and healthy for all pups! I have cared for pups as small as 3 months and older senior pups as old as 18 years! I work full time a coffee shop but I am willing to work around my schedule. I work most through the week however I have time from early mornings and evenings to care for your pup! Don’t hesitate to reach out! I am very easy to work with! :) I have experience handling dogs for any situation, if need be I can crate your dog, I can administer medication (I do not administer insulin), I am a very patient and loving person and will tend to your dogs needs :)

About: BOOK 7 NIGHTS AND GET YOUR 8th NIGHT FREE!!! (On your first stay only) I WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTING DOGS 30lbs AND UNDER FOR THE SAFETY OF MY OWN SMALL PETS. (Although I will make larger size exceptions for elderly lazy pups ❤️) Hello and thanks for considering me for your pet sitter! Your pet will enjoy all the pleasures of home and more! We are a loving, pet friendly family that any pet would love to be part of (even if it's only for a short time). My name is Breanna and I have had animals my whole life and simply adore being around them. I enjoyed being with them so much that I opened my own grooming salon several years back and am still enjoying it today. I thought that I could help my fluffy friends even more by letting them stay with me rather then those terrible kennels so they too could enjoy their vacations! Your pets will be treated like part of the family and if you choose, I can offer grooming services as well. We are more then happy to take in older dogs as well as younger and they are always guaranteed a warm, soft place to sleep. Summer is no problem either as there is AC so your pet will be totally comfortable at all times. Does your dog need medications? If so no problem, just tell me what to do and your pet will be taken care of. I do have an 11yr old and a 17yr old so your dog must be ok with kids. We also have two small dogs who are very friendly so your dog must be ok with other pets as well. I am pet cpr and first aid certified through the Red Cross and also a certified pet groomer. If this sounds like a home you'd like to let your pets visit while you are away i would be more then happy to meet you and set up a meet and greet! I hope to hear from you! Note: At this time I’m unable to accommodate pitbulls and German shepherds. Sorry for any inconvenience! I’m a self employed, work from home mom so it’s very easy for me to care for your pets. I make my own schedule and absolutely love what I do. Having extra pups in the house is a huge bonus for me because I’m a huge animal person! I love taking the pups outside into the back yard or for a walk through the golf course we live on. I have two wonderful fur babies to keep your pets company. When inside your pets will enjoy a “part of the family” life style with lots of love, cuddles and lounging on the couch.

About: I’ve always had a dog by my side since i was born, i always make sure my dog gets out at-least once a week for a long nature walk and swim if the weather allows. I’m pretty good when it comes to puppies too! I am now free most days of the week for any type of services that you may desire at any time for the most part! I can easily crate a dog is necessary and/or needed, i usually am pretty good at reading animal body language to help better understand them and notice patterns quickly!

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for 12 years and absolutely love caring for my dog. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and lots of love and attention.

I love having the opportunity to walk/hike with dogs or feed and play with them during the day.

I would make sure to keep them comfortable and give them plenty of attention while leaving your house clean and tidy.

“Meaghan was excellent for my pup Bilbo, we hired her late and in a bind with work things going on. She showed up on time and was able to take Bilbo out no problem. We look forward to hiring her again!”

“Been meaning to write this review for awhile. Highly recommend Sarah. She was very professional, dependable, and easy to communicate with! She was always there when she said she would be, and our puppy really loved his walks with her. ❤️”

About: I will treat your pets as if they are my own. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. I’ve fostered puppies, watched neighbors pets, worked at an animal shelter, and have training skills. I have my own dog as well! An Australian shepherd who just turned a year old! I work mostly in the afternoons 1pm-6pm I’m available for walks later in the evening into late at night! I’m available early in the mornings as well! I’m currently in grad school, doing my internship, and working full time so I can do odd hours or work around schedules pretty well! I care for pets as if they’re my own. I understand wanting someone who will treat your pet with patience and care. They are your family and should be treated as such!

“Jessica was amazing! Jonah who is normally slow to warm up was kissing her face within five minutes as she sat on the floor to let him get to know her. Animals know and he surely knew that she was his friend!”

About: Hi, my name is Karen. I've had all sorts of of animals my whole life. I'm well known for bringing home surprise pets. My children have both moved out so I'm free to come to your home for overnights, check-in visits, walks, feedings, etc. Whatever you need, I'm here to help with. I'll be your best friends 2nd best friend! I am currently free to work any time of day. I'm available for Day visits, overnights, check ins, etc. Weekdays or weekends, I can help! I'm unable at the moment to board but I am able to come to clients homes. I believe in helping your pets to be as stress free as possible in your absence. I strive to be 2nd best to you.

About: I volunteer at my local animal shelter and I am great with both dogs and cats. I grew up with my cat, Hepsiba, born before me who died when I was nearly 20 years of age. We were best friends before I knew what that was. Then at the age of 12 or so, my parents adopted 2 English cocker spaniels, brother and sister. Robbie and Flora. So I was taking care of three pets. Then I raised Bruce, a rescued black lab mix from August 2013 until 2025 with some breaks for the US Army. And I taught him very well; he passed in June 2025 but he will always be my companion at my side. For some time I carried him, 120 lbs, up and down flights of stairs. Sometimes from here to there, carefully, comfortably, gingerly. I have a background in psychology, and I’m a dog trainer and a bit of a behaviorist. I’ve taken care of pets for family members and friends. And did so professionally in the past prior to Rover, after friends got me into it, which I started in August 2025. I’m great with animals. After spending even just a short time with them we can often establish a connection or rapport, especially when training a younger pet (or caring for an older dog). I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, I could run with your dog, play with them, but mostly we’ll be doing what they want - within reason. I will basically be spending the entire time with your pets. We’ll wake up between five to eight in the morning, and we’ll go bed between eight and eleven at night. I’ll be up with them as they need and we’ll be in and out much more than is required. I am delicate and meticulous and believe in leaving no trace that I was there. I want my client after their time away from home and their animals to not be met with the mess that I could be leaving behind. I am committed to performing an act of cleaning based on the tools available.

About: I’ve been around pets since childhood - having 2 cats, hamsters, birds and fish. I am a dog mom to a 15 year old beagle and 12 year old pittie mix both of who I adopted when they were 3 years and the other 9 months old. I walked and was also a house visitor for neighbors dogs all throughout middle school. Wherever I was there was a high possibility I was hanging out with someone’s dog. I work a Monday to Friday position but would love to spend my off hours from the office position doing house check ins and or walks for your pets. I would be able to do house check ins for bathroom breaks-feeding-loving attention-playtime as well as bringing them on walks. I am able to handle big or small & high or low energy pets.

“Annemarie was amazing! So great with Jonah and just such a kind warm person in general!”

“Sara was so helpful, I was in a bind and it was completely last minute but she helped me out. My dog seemed to love her and she was very sweet! Definitely would book with her again!!”

About: I've worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, and currently have my own lab who is going through extensive obedience training, as well as participating in dock diving and Fast CAT races. I am a remote employee, so I am available weekdays for walks, drop in's, and house sitting. I do travel a bit, so sometimes I might not be available, but I do have a consistent schedule that allows for advance acknowledgment I know lots of good hiking and play spots around town, and have safety crates in my car for any transportation. My own pup will gladly join and is super friendly, however she's also ok staying back if your pup is more a solo party.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life. Dog sitting for my aunt for when she went on vacation and cat sitting for friends and co workers! I love animals and would love to help others as well! I am currently employed at Mansfield deli. I usually work 5-7 days a week but my schedule varies. I get my schedule on a weekly basis so I’m not really sure of my schedule ahead of time but I normally work the same hours every week! Unfortunately I am not able to have other animals in my home due to having my own cats and dogs but I would love to care for other animals in the homes they are comfortable in. I am very well adjusted and have plenty of experience with pet sitting to help keep animals safe and taken care of! In my home we have 2 dogs and 2 cats.
