Dog Walking Oakland

“Kacy was a life saver!! One week after I rescued a timid, anxious and fearful Beagle, I broke my wrist. Kacy responded and started immediately. Knowing Luke had issues didn’t bother her in the least. She obviously has a lot of experience with dogs and knew how to handle him. It was rough for her in the beginning but she was very patient and kind and never gave up on him. She was more than a dog walker; she sat in on sessions with a trainer I hired to help Luke. So her walks with him, were more than just walks. They were mini training sessions! And in the one month she was with us, Luke made so much progress all because of Kacy since I wasn’t able to do much. Kacy will treat your dog as her own, she is very responsible, punctual and never missed a walk. I am forever grateful for everything she did and she even went above and beyond cleaning up Luke’s accidents and carrying in packages for me! We will definitely miss her. If you need someone to care for your 4-legged family, she’s definitely the one!”

“Alexandra is incredibly kind and gentle. She was so patient with our Lani, who’s scared of just about everything, and really respected our request to keep greetings and goodbyes calm and low-key to help prevent separation anxiety. She takes her time, used the treats for getting boots on!) And gives Lani the full walk time without rushing. We feel very comfortable with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive walker.”

“Thank you”

“Amber has been great taking care of our large but nervous rescue pup, Teddy. She is clearly knowledgeable in how to work with dogs who are not immediately trusting and more reserved. Now Teddy really enjoys his weekly walks and getting to sit with Amber for some treats. I would continue to recommend her for any of your pet care needs.”

“Samantha was wonderful and patient with my very timid dog. She was also communicative letting my know how the visit was going which put my mind at ease.”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up my family and I have adopted 3 dogs. I absolutely love working with dogs - big, small, old, hyper, I’m your gal! I have a couple years of experience working at a doggy day care as well as some dog bathing services. I’m a junior currently attending Ramapo College. I commute to class and am available for multiple days a week. I’m usually always available on the weekends! I have a fenced yard for my dog but she is not the friendliest. I tend to bring her to the dog park where she gets along with other dogs in a bigger/more open area.

About: I have over 20 years of experience providing occasional care for both dogs and cats. During this time, I have handled a variety of breeds and personalities, ensuring pets receive reliable attention, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable administering basic care routines and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I currently work a split schedule job during the week so I am available for several hours during the daytime, plus evenings and weekends to care for you pets. I care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide plenty of playtime and companionship, and keep a close eye on their health and happiness. I also keep the home secure and share updates so families have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. Often watch others dogs over night, or come by for walks and feedings when owners are away. Good with animals of all sizes. Currently my schedule is very open, available in the mornings and afternoons for walks or visits. Can also be available to watch dogs overnight if needed. My home is an apartment right next to several parks. Perfect for smaller dogs or big dogs who need exercise outside. Can also travel to you.

“Alexa is very reliable and has been very patient with our nervous larger dog. He’s always happier after he goes for a walk with her. We would definitely recommend Alexa for any of your pet care needs.”

About: I’ve had all sorts of animals from small to big since the age of 7. I currently have a German shepherd mix, and he’s been with us since March 8th of 2021, having the time of his life. I’ve had my share with senior cats/dogs, as well as being able to handle oral medication and specific routines. I‘m open and available any day of the week and usually at any time. My calendar is up to date all the way until August. I will treat your pet and your house with utmost respect and privacy, and treat your pet with the love, comfort, and care they deserve and more. They’ll always be safe in my care.

About: My experience with pet sitting goes beyond just having my own. I have been watching other people's pets since I was a teenager and I am great with all dogs. I have my own dog so it's just part of my day. My daily routine includes walking feeding, playing and letting him roam free in the yard. I have a fenced in yard so pets can run free. I also enjoy going on long walks. Making sure my dog is well groomed is a big deal. He always smells good, nails are trimmed and fur I'd brushed/blown out.

About: Prior to moving towns I used to pet sit for all of my neighbors. Pets large and small, it didn’t matter but it was always fun. I’m starting my MBA next fall so anything earned on here will go towards that goal of mine! I’ve owned pets for over 12 years and have been taking care of others for 6 so almost all throughout high school and undergrad. I can walk multiple dogs at once, great with elderly animals, experienced with puppies, able to administer pet medication, etc. If you have questions reach out! Currently I am taking two online summer courses for my MBA with Sacred Heart University. I go to the gym 4 times a week and work drop in bartending shifts sometimes on weekends. Since I make my own schedule pet care fits very well into it because I can tailor mine to fit the animals needs! I don’t offer in home care at the moment because my sister recently got hip surgery so I’m waiting until she’s more comfortable to have other peoples pets at home. Otherwise I have two sweet dogs who have coexisted well with pets that I’ve taken care of in the past as well as cats they stay in their own room.

About: Hi! My name is Logan, and I’m a current college student at the University of New England with a strong background in studying animal behavior. I have several years of experience pet sitting, caring for my own pets — my dog Riley and cat Nadia — and working with local animal shelters. I love animals of all sizes and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. They’re family, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can count on me to provide loving, dependable care and to treat your pets with the same attention and compassion I give my own. I'm currently looking for a part-time job until Rover takes off, so as of now, pet care is my 100% focus. I spend every day caring for my cat Nadia and my family's dog Riley. I'm hoping that I will get to spend a good amount of my time also caring for other peoples pets :). When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while also following any feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special care requests closely. I always prioritize safety by keeping pets supervised, securing doors and gates, and maintaining a clean, calm environment. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a shy cat who prefers quiet companionship, I adapt my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated like family while they’re away.
