Dog Walking Oakland-Winchell

About: Your pets deserve the best and you shouldn't have to settle for anything less. I have taken care of cats and dogs of all sorts, whether they be energetic, laid back, nervous and shy, or total goofballs. When my friends and family go out of town, I'm the person they call to watch their fur babies. I am reliable, loving, patient, thorough, and considerate of your home, expectations, and needs. I am currently working a part-time job that is 3 days a week, so I am looking to fill my time with walks, fetch, and cuddles! I am happy to comply with however you typically do things with your pets. I am experienced with dog training commands, crate training, and dog body language.

About: (if in need of a "constant care" visit, please mention that in your request so we can discuss that rate). Experience with puppies and senior dogs. It feels great making sure a pet is well-cared for and happy. I have a client who is gone quite often and care for her animals several times a month. During the work-week, I still offer to stop in on my brother's animals. I've prioritized leash training and am accustomed to going on many walks per day as well as providing tasks to keep dogs happy and healthy.

“Lynn was fantastic. She put our dogs at ease right away during the meet and greet. She had great communication. We will definitely be using her a lot more for our pups!”

Laura A.

“Highly recommend Rachel! She was extremely flexible with some last minute changes on my end and was communicative early about when she was not available. My timid dog warmed up to her right away and Rachel did amazing at keeping goodbyes short to mininize her separation anxiety. I received plenty of photos/videos/updates and felt confident leaving Summer in her care.”

“I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!”

About: I have had pets my whole life and love to spend time and play with all animals. I have been dog and cat sitting for 8 years for coworkers and friends. I have a 5 year old Catahoula Hound mix that I adopted from the SPCA! When I house sit he does need to come with me. He has never had issues with other dogs or cats. I am a medical assistant during the week for Bronson and would love to spend time with animals on the weekends or after work playing or going for walks. I make a point to let the animal smell and come to me. It is their environment and they don't know me yet! Once they are comfortable I love to get on the ground and play.

About: I have 2 dogs and a cat. I have been a multiple pet household for 20 years. I help my friends and neighbors with their pets when they are away. I have fostered dogs before and I have volunteered at the spca. I know how hard it is to find good pet sitters and would love to help others with this. I work from home so am flexible and able to help out during the day. I currently work from home so have the flexibility to care for your pets during the day and evening. I'm also open to boarding at our home so long as they get along with our other pets. I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 1 cat. I can come to your home for walks and/or play time as well.

About: I have been taking care of cats since I was a child, and have been a dog owner for the last 19 years. I currently have 2 pugs, Goose and Frankie, 1 cat, Sadie -aka Murder Mittens-, and a leopard gecko named Dude. I have experience with facial care for smooshy-faced breeds, administering medication, and providing overall care for senior dogs. I am a freelancer who works from home, so I have the flexibility in my schedule to accommodate most clients' needs. I do my best to accommodate your schedule. I am happy to feed, water, wash bowls, take for walks, clean litter boxes, brush, pet, play, clean faces, wipe paws, give medication, and whatever is needed and tolerated by your pet.

About: I have had pets of many kinds almost my entire life and many friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets while away. My friend who ran a successful rescue trusts me with her medically complex rescues. I follow whatever instructions are there with special attention paid to any medications that need to be given or other special details. I'm a freelancer that spends too much time sitting while I work. I'm very excited to add more walks into my life and a bit more out of the house time taking care of your furry friends when you need! In your home I will do everything in my power to take good care of your four legged friend. Whether that means medicating them at the right times, chilling on the couch for a bit of snuggling, or playing fetch in the backyard (or living room) until the exciteable animal is a little more chill from getting energy out.

“Another great walk😊”

“Callista was a great help. She definitely loves animals and was attentive to knowing about my dogs quirks. She arrived on time and gave my dog lots of attention.”

About: What sets me apart from others is my passion, knowledge, and attention to detail. I have a special interest in training and managing reactive dogs and socializing puppies! I work full time at a local vet clinic & do pet sitting on my days off (Friday-Sunday) I have 3 dogs of my own as well! I care for your pets in YOUR home which I believe makes them more comfortable! I do drop in visits with the duration of your choice. ❤️

“Great communicator, responsive.”

“Natalie was great! She walked Robbie for one hour when I had a long day at work and took pictures and gave him water. Highly recommend Natalie! She is very easy to work with and took good care of my pup”

Abbey L.

“Madelyn had been walking our dog during the week for the past couple of weeks and we honestly could not be happier!! She communicates beforehand to verify the schedule each week. She is consistent - picks up our dog for a walk same time each day! She provides us with pictures and updates on how the walk went. Our dog Emma can be a little extra (German Shepherd energy) and Madelyn is great with her! We are so thankful we found Madelyn!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, for family and friends who are pet parents, I am their first choice when it comes to pet sitting. I have also volunteered at my local animal shelters and to me, the animal's well-being is my highest priority. I have a job with flexible work hours so I can always make time to take care of your best friend. I also work remotely so I can be with your pet for however long is needed. If I am at the client's house, I will follow any and all special instructions involving taking care of their pet. I will make sure the dog is fed, gets plenty of exercise, clean up any messes, and just make sure that they feel safe and cared for.

“Sydney has been great with our lab mix! She is timely, trustworthy and loves up on our pup! Highly suggest.”

About: I have experience with puppies and senior dogs and everything in between. I grew up with dogs and know how to care for them. They will be in good hands! I currently have a cat who is very friendly! I am a grad student with night classes, so I'm home during most of the day. I have a part time job but it won't get in the way of caring for your pet! I have a spacious apartment that will house your pup nicely. My apartment also has a park area that would be perfect for walking and playing with dogs!

“An absolute wonderful person to watch after your pet! She was so loving toward Charlie and he had an absolutely blast with her while I was out of town. Big thanks to Theresa!”

Jasmine R.

“Amanda has been amazing with my very shy and timid dog, who typically doesn’t do well with strangers. I love the reports I get and it gives me great peace of mind knowing my puppy is in good hands!”
