Dog Walking Oakland

About: Please apply code JESSEK47265 for $20 off your first stay!! Must be a new rover customer. I've trained dogs from puppyhood, including housetraining, obedience training, and agility training. I've worked with Peace of Mind Dog Rescue, specializing in senior canines with special medical, physical, emotional, and behavioral needs. I also train dogs in scent detection for search and rescue. My furry guests receive plenty of attention, play, outdoor time, and walks throughout their stay. They are free to be outside, inside, play as much as they want, or lounge around. My dog Checkers is always up for a game of tug-of-war, a chase around the yard, or a group nap. For the convenience of my clients I provide availability every day, daytime, night-time, weekends, and holidays. I have a large fenced yard with lots of open space for running and playing. The yard has plenty of shade as well as areas to sun-bathe. Plenty of water is always available. The house and yard are kept clean and flea-free. Pets have constant supervision, with special attention and monitoring provided if play with other pets is allowed by owner. Due to dietary considerations, and to avoid resource guarding, I feed pets separately, as well as watch them carefully if toys are present. I like to walk dogs together as behavior allows, which promotes bonding between them. I appreciate as much information as possible from owners about how to make their fur babies as comfortable as possible, and give them an unforgettable Pet -Airbnb experience they will love to come back to! I'm currently available full time for Rover, with open availability 24/7. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can accommodate your unique schedule and pet care needs. My 3 year old dog is very playful, friendly, and loves meeting new friends. The house is dog-proofed, and your dog will be under constant supervision. Let me know if you have a preference about your dog on furniture and any other rules you normally set in your own home. I currently have an open schedule to sit weekdays and weekends. Please let me know what your needs are and I will do my best to accommodate them. I am not available Sunday morning from 10-12am or Tuesday from 7-9pm. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own to keep you dog company. I walk dogs together to encourage them to bond, behavior permitting. Safety is my number one concern.

“Mariah was dependable, on schedule, gave great feedback on the walks. We’ll definitely reach out again.”

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was 2 years old. My dog was my best friend from 2-16 yrs. I was raised on a mini farm and was lucky enough to care for horses, cows, pigs, chickens, several dogs, many cats and recently goats. Nothing brings me more happiness than being around our furry friends. Currently, we have 3 miniature poodle mixes, which we love beyond words. We recently adopted a St. Bernard/Pitbull mix. We have a big dog house 24’x12’ fully fenced to board big dogs. Medium 20 lbs to extra small dogs board/daycare inside our home. We offer an alternative to traditional boarding/daycare. Our dogs are family and guest dogs are welcomed to our family pack. Animals are my passion and bring me fulfillment and joy! Providing daycare and boarding is my profession. I worked a corporate job 35 years as a director in the health insurance field. After I was laid off I decided to not go back to the long hours and stress. Instead I dove head first into following my dream of opening a pet service business. I’ve taken my business experience and love for animals to the next level. I am excellent at following the care plan you give me. I want to take care of your pet as you would with as much love as I can give them. I understand the need for pet parents to travel or work knowing their pets are safe, exercised and loved. I offer a customized experience developed just for your dog.

“Taylor is exceptional with my two large dogs and highly knowledgeable about various breeds and how to train them. Her kind, compassionate demeanor is well received by my dogs. I would highly recommend her for her amazing services.”

About: My goal is to provide the best dog sitting service in Mason Country. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding, or talking to them, as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. I own my own pet sitting business and I'm going through here to get started in a new area for new clients. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving care and the details of dogs! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one dog owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my dogs as well as I do after a few short days.”… The most important goals for me are providing a consistently high quality of pet care service and developing lasting relationships with Mason County pet owners. Here are just a few of the ways that I can make a quality difference in your pets’ (and your) lives: Details I’m a detail-oriented business person who knows how important it is to follow through, in a meticulous way, the instructions you give me for the daily care of your dogs as well as your home. When I mull over situations with your pets and think about how important your home is to you, I always ask myself: “What would they do if they were here? How would they want me to proceed”? If there is any question in my mind, I contact you before taking action. I document all my actions for you, in my daily text or email, so that you don’t have to wonder or worry about the quality of care your pets and your home have received while you’re gone. As one client put it: “My goal in going with a professional pet sitter was…wanting the best for our two dogs while we were away. Carrie left it “camps without a trace,” returning the house to you as you left it. To list all the tasks she does to keep things ticking while we’re gone is more work than I want, so let’s just say, hire this intelligent woman who takes pride in her business and find out the true meaning of “getting away.” High Standard I maintain Open Communication at all times. Great communication is the key to all successful relationships. I always email clients a confirmation of their pet sitting arrival and departure dates/times, so there are no missed appointments or misunderstandings. I also write detailed daily email/text describing your pets’ activities and behaviors, including any changes I notice in their eating or sleeping or other routines – in addition to all their fun and funny ‘adventures’ when you’re gone! The level of communication I provide you, before you go and while you’re away, is an important part of my pet sitting service, demonstrating the observation skills and the focus I bring as caregiver for your pets and home! It's my main career to take care of your pets on a daily basis. So I have all the time in the world to spend time with them. I will be caring for your pet (s) in their own home where they are more comfortable than being in a boarding place. Have a wonderful day. Hope to hear from you soon

“I am so glad to have found Frankie for my yellow Labrador. She was flexible with scheduling, and made all efforts to accomodate any last minute requests. Jaggi was at ease with her all the time. She really took care of my dog like he was her own. I will not be looking for anyone else to sit my dog for a while. Thank you Frankie for being so awesome.”

“Tara came to our rescue when our regular sitter fell through at the last minute. We were overjoyed after the meet & greet to have someone local that clearly “gets dogs”. Plan to book with her in the future, and are so grateful for the daily updates and photos. Thanks Tara and Leo/Khali look forward to walks with you again soon!”

“Ruby was amazing with my young Golden! He was so excited to see her when she arrived. I recently had surgery and haven’t been able to walk him, so it was such a relief knowing he could get out and burn some energy beyond the backyard — especially on Thanksgiving day! Ruby was right on time and even sent me a photo. Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 from small to big to giant, they are adorable and need love,attention, and someone to play with I'm currently working part-time in sales and I need extra money so I thought since I love animals let's do this because animals are my safe space I have a fenced yard, my room door is always closed so no other animals in the house mess with my cat or yours. I make sure all windows that can be pushed open are closed and when they are open I watch the Animals carefully

About: Pets are family! Taking care of them is one of the most rewarding experiences and provides unconditional love. I have been around numerous animals my entire life, and currently have 3 dogs! Daisy, Luka and Honey! I love being outside, walking, hiking and playing fetch on our 2.5 acre property. I always have time for pets! I work Monday-Friday but am available after 3pm or on weekends. I also offer boarding and there is always someone home for our fur babies! I have a fenced 2.5 acre property and 3 friendly, loving and playful dogs to keep your baby company! If you prefer, I can always place your dog in a large kennel or keep them separated from others. I am flexible and can meet most needs!

About: I have cared for my own dogs since I was a child, and have spent time petsitting for neighbors and friends as well. I worked at a dog daycare for a year, which I loved. I'm not working right now so I have time on my hands to care for your dogs! I am not available on weekends or on Wednesday evenings as I have class. When I house sit for you I am able to do whatever it is your dog is used to, whether it's playing with toys, going on walks or running in the yard, I'll be sure to give your pet what they need at all times.

About: I have taken care of Cats for years. I had a Diabetic cat, I gave him insulin twice a day. I can give any medication, brush, play, and care for any cat. I also am very good with dogs. I am soft spoken and gentle, animals usually always connect and bond with me. I am pretty flexible, if there is communication I can be ready when needed. Honestly, animals are a priority. They're family and I want to be that reliable person for you and your fur baby. I could offer care in my home but I have 4 cats of my own, and a dog. I think in the clients home would be best for the comfort of the animal. I am probably the best person you could have in your home. I am extremely trustworthy and am there just to give quality care to your animal! I own a siding business with my family and do pet care whenever I'm needed. My schedule is usually very flexible as long as I get it on the calendar! I will do what the client is comfortable with. If you want your animals crated at certain times. I can do that. If you want them running free and getting cuddles, I can do that! I know how hard it is to trust someone in your home and with your animals. I am a very trustworthy person and can always send pictures and keep you updated and comfortable! I have even video chatted so a child would see her animals she was missing while on vacation!

About: I have owned and lived with dogs most of my life and have a big heart for all of them. Breeds include German Shepherd, beagle, Boston terrier, Jack Russell terrier, dachshund, and more. I love getting out and taking the dog for a walk, to the dog park, etc. In addition to the experience I have living with dogs, I have also gotten the opportunity to work with and care for professional working dogs and have worked in an Animal Control and Animal Care role for a city kennel. I work nights so I am available during mornings in the Mason County area after 8am and Thurston County after 7:30am. Am able to make late afternoon appointments as well. We have a fully fenced backyard which dogs have full access of. Our home camera system monitors the fully covered, carpeted back porch where our dog loves to lounge.
