Dog Walking Oakland Ave-Harrison St

“Esteban quickly became my puppy's very best friend (I hope my kids don't see this). My puppy returns from walks and passes out for hours. Esteban is reliable and my puppy is always excited to go on their walks. He also communicates well and gives great updates on any activity from the walk.”

“Ollie loves his walks with Nicole! Nicole has been walking Ollie on a regular basis for the past few weeks, and we can't say enough good things about her! She's very communicative and reliable. We would highly recommend Nicole to any dog parents!”

About: I would describe myself as an animal lover and have two cats of my own. I'm hoping one day to get a dog, perhaps some birds and chickens too. Is that too much? Pets are the best of friends especially when life seems a bit chaotic. I understand that most people don’t have the time to care for their pets as much as they would like to, whether it’s a busy work schedule or a desperate need for a vacation from it all. I’ll be there to step in for you so your pet has someone to give them attention, treats, walks, and those good scritchy scratchies. I'm taking some time to focus on job searching and personal projects so my schedule is rather flexible to take on some pet care a few times a week. Unfortunately, due to owning two cats of my own, I can not take on other animals in my apartment. I have a reliable mode of transportation, so I can come to the owner's house and easily take them on adventures outside (park, beach, etc) in my car.

About: Hi, I am a mom, wife, yoga teacher, therapist, building my own business. I love animals and I love the outdoors. I had a cat and I have taken great care of many dogs. This would be a great way to earn income and spend time with more animals. I take great care of animals and humans. I have over 10 years experience and I am excited to learn more. I hope to meet you furry friend soon. I know how much they mean to you because my cat was one of my very best friends. I will take care of your pets as if it was mine. If you need references I can provide. I am building my profile but I have references from before I joined Rover. Be well friends! I have time to play with the furry friends weekdays and some weekends. I usually need a few days notice. I am currently flexible most of the time. Our apartment is pet friendly. I have lots of training with dogs and cats. We have a baby.I am attentive. We have space for animals and we have lots of outdoor space in our neighborhood for walks. Our neighbors (both in our apartment building and in the neighborhood) have dogs so please let us know how your dog behaves in the presence of other dogs.

“The dogs are having a great time with Matthew walking them. I would definitely recommend him.”

About: Hiya, I'm Peter! I've cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, and have since provided countless hours of pet-care of friends, family, friends of the family, and families of friends! I have years of experience doing walks, play, feeding, bathing, clean-up and more. I have experience with excitable breeds like a neighbor's golden doodle to my family's mellowed-out portugese water doggies, along with senior care. I see animal care as a privilege. Our pets are no less than little bundles of feelings and life that we are given the opportunity to cherish. I have been told on multiple occasions that I am able to calm animals unusually quickly, and I feel that I am attuned to the emotions of animals I care for. I would love to opportunity to provide care to your pet! I work from home in a low-speed position, so I have a flexible schedule for your pets' needs. Normally, I would do a morning and afternoon walk, with potty breaks peppered whenever they need. I can also step away from my work at a moment's notice if anything arises, from entertaining a bored doggie to foiling attempted counter surfing! I have a paved yard for sunbathing and potty breaks, the door to which I work right next to. I live near Lake Merritt, the Morcom Rose Garden, and a dog park, so I can provide walks of all lengths. My home is very cozy and has multiple spaces where an animal can detox from any overstimulation. I can provide a dog crate, scheduled meals, supervision, and play.

“Tim provided wonderful care for my puppy during a difficult time. They understood her needs, communicated clearly, were really respectful of my home. I noticed that they remembered specific concerns I had made sure to keep those im mind. I also appreciated the thoughtful pictures they sent and their intentionality in the details they provided about how the care went and how much puppy was doing. Thank you, Tim!”

“Friendly, flexible, and wonderful with our husky. Thanks Barbara!”

About: I've grown up with pets (i.e. dog, cat, hamster, bird) for most of my life. I had a rescue family dog for over 10 years and my own pet cat for 3 years yrs before moving to CA. I've pet say for over 30 dogs and more cats than I can count, along with occasional reptiles, rodents and even chickens. I know how to read animals and build their trust so that they feel safe and loved. I'm a social worker for my day job and I enjoy being able to care for pets part-time as well. I live walking distance from Lake Merritt, which is perfect for walks. I'm very responsible and I love taking pet pictures, so you can be sure to get as many updates from me as you'd like. Know that I'll care for your pet as if they were my own😊! I know all the right questions to ask to ensure that I know the ins and outs before committing to the care of your pet(s). Lmk if you have any questions. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet soon!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have been pet sitting for friends and family in Minnesota for years. Just relocated to the Bay Area and making it official on Rover. For the first time in my life, I don’t have a pet of my own. I’d love to take care of and spend that pet love on yours. I work remotely and run my own business, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can work around whatever your pet needs throughout the day. I’ve owned a reactive, anxiously attached dog, so I’m comfortable with the ones that need a little extra patience. Senior dogs, high-anxiety pups, all sizes, I’ve got it covered. I work remotely and my schedule is flexible. If your pet needs full-time company, I can take my calls and work from where they are. I only book when I’m fully available, so if I’m on the calendar, I’m present. I come to your pet so they stay in their own home, in their own routine, with their own familiar space. You’ll get updates and photos so you always know how things are going.

“Jen is super communicative whether it’s regarding coordinating logistics or sharing updates about our dog, Bento. It really just helps put our minds at ease especially when we’re traveling. Highly recommend!”

About: While I'm new to Rover, I have over 10 years experience taking care of my friends and family's cats, dogs, insects, and plants. I'm excited to start this business on Rover and extend that pet/plant care to the people in my East Bay community! I'm a landscape horticulture student in Oakland, so when I'm not in class, working in my garden, or spending time with my own kitties, I love taking care of my friends, neighbors, and families' pets. They bring so much silliness and happiness into my routine! When walking your dogs or taking care of your pets in your home, respect, safety, and trust are my top priorities. The pet parents I work with know their pets best, and I take their guidance and wishes very seriously. When I'm housesitting, I treat clients' homes with even more respect than I treat my own.

“Charlii was great and asked multiple questions to get to know our dogs before proceeding with the walk. We’d definitely work with Charlii again!”

“Micah did great with my dog who can be a little anxious at first!”

“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”

About: Always been around pets (cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbil,..), I love taking care of them and watch them being cute. I'm living without animal and feel the need to take care of them so much. I'm here to help you with your babies when you have tobe away. I'll become their new bestie! I'm available everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have some classes. I work early morning until 12:30pm so I'm free the rest of the day for your little conpanions. I live in a good 1 bed apartment just nearby the Lake meritt to go on beautiful walks with doggies. I also have a balcony for some fresh air. (Will be keep closed for cats to avoid an escapade)

About: I provide calm, attentive care with a focus on routine and safety. I understand that every dog is different, and I aim to keep their environment steady and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks and occasional hikes, giving them time to explore while keeping things structured and safe. I adjust to each dog’s energy level, whether they prefer an active outing or a more relaxed pace. I’m organized, communicative, and reliable, and I take pride in making pet parents feel comfortable and informed. You can expect clear updates, thoughtful communication, and plenty of photos so you can feel at ease while your dog is in my care.
