Dog Walking Paradise Park

About: I’ve taken care of pups since I can remember! I have nurtured puppies up until they’re senior pups; potty trained every single one and basically provided a nursery for them. Love all pups as if they’re my toddlers! Im currently pursuing an LLM in UC Berkeley and will be available on weekends and some days during the week! I’d be happy to care, play and love on your pups whenever I don’t have class. Unfortunately, I am not able to bring any of my border collies to Berkeley so I’m completely flexible to any needs your pup may have and all of my undivided attention!

About: I've taken care of many dogs from chihuahua's, poodle mixes, corgi's and pointers. I have the most experience with small dogs but would love to take care of your large pups too! I have experience caring for and feeding medication to senior dogs from Muttville in San Francisco and lived and cared for a very anxious corgi for two years so have a lot of experience navigating and understanding when a dog needs space. I cannot wait to meet your pup! I'm starting grad school in late august so have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available weekdays and weekends for now and will update my schedule once school is back in session. I have a small fenced in yard if the pup needs a quiet enclosed area to play in. I have experience crating anxious corgis and giving medication and am willing to follow any rules you have to ensure good training and safety for your dog. Ultimately, I just want you and your pet to be comfortable!

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

“Jes is always on time and in this difficult transition he has been a tremendous help for my dog Shadow! I will continue to hire him! Jess is fantastic with my dog!”

“I realized at the last minute that I would be out all day and connected with Supriya to take our dogs out for a midday walk. Supriya was super responsive, kept me updated with photos, and took the dogs out for a nice, long walk at the time we agreed to. I'll definitely have her back when the need arises and would wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“Erika was absolutely lovely and we will definitely be walking with her again soon- and you should too! We really appreciate her accommodating our kooky training games as well as my rather last minute walk request. Our boy is happily napping now, very fulfilled by his walk thanks to Erika. She got a really, really, REALLY wonderful picture of our dog too. Thank you Erika! 🐾❤️”

“James was totally responsible, always arriving on time, taking our Ginger for full hour walks. Ginger has always been crazy excited when James arrives. I love getting the route they walked and a photo at the end of the walk. We’ll be calling on James whenever we need a caring fur babe walker.”

Pamela S.

“Becca is very good with communicating; they are attentive and comfortable with both of our dogs — they only walked our sweeter easier dog but at meet and greet, our energetic one, who is usually anxious around strangers seems to take on with Becca well — we would probable use their service again! Thank you Becca!”

Nu & Jack H.

“Andrew is a phenomenal walker! He’s responsible, a great communicator, and he is very thoughtful about my pup’s care. Having volunteered in some similar settings to Andrew, I would trust him to handle all sorts of dog temperaments and scenarios - there really is no training like city shelter experience. I am very happy working with Andrew and would recommend him heartily to anyone!”

About: 🐾 A Loving Home Away From Home for Your Dog Welcome! My name is Chen zhang, and I'm a full-time, work-from-home pet sitter who provides personalized care in a peaceful, loving environment. Your dog will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day, with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Since pet sitting is my full-time job, I can closely follow your dog's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care they may need. One of the best parts of my home is the cozy private garden, where dogs can safely explore, relax, and soak up the sunshine. We're also just a short walk from San Pablo Park, a beautiful dog-friendly park that offers plenty of space for exercise, sniffing adventures, and fun outdoor play. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and respect. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a senior, or a puppy, I'll care for them according to their unique personality and needs. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved—as if they were part of my own family. I can't wait to welcome your furry friend into my home! In addition, I’ve had dogs for over 16 years and truly understand how to care for animals with patience and love. I also have experience rescuing and helping stray dogs and cats, so I’m very attentive to different personalities, emotions, and special needs. My doggies back in China are all rescued and adopted by me and my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention. I treat every pet like family and always try to make them feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m available full-time and can provide care every day, including weekdays and weekends. I have a flexible schedule, so pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for pets both in my home and in my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort to help them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, clean spaces, fresh water, and regular exercise. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I've spent many years dog sitting and have a special place in my heart for reactive pups, seniors, and dogs with sensitive diets. I'm calm, patient, and attentive to each dog's unique needs. I'm happy to prepare special meals if your pup has dietary restrictions! While I do not have a large yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of outdoor fun walks, enrichment, and lots of love and attention. Your dog will be treated como familia while you're away. I currently work a hybrid schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks and activities throughout the day. If left alone, it is for no more than 4 hours. I'm available for weekend boarding and offer free pickup and drop-off. Your dog will be cared for in a calm, cozy one-bedroom apartment where they will be closely supervised and given plenty of attention. I intentionally keep a low-stress environment, and there are currently no other pets in the home, which can be especially helpful for reactive or older dogs who do best with quiet spaces. We're also located near green spaces, so your pup will enjoy regular outdoor walks, fresh air, and enrichment while staying safe and comfortable indoors.

“An AMAZING dog walker. Oh he treated Scout like his own and I felt so at ease. Scout is an anxious dog but at every moment David took patience and care to make sure she felt safe. Loved reading the comments post walk from David and getting to hear about him discovering Scouts quirks and hearing that she was feeling more comfortable as the days went along to trust him and become her full self! David prioritizes communication so you will always be in the know which I greatly appreciate!”

“Joelle is very sweet and charlie has enjoyed their time together.”

About: I've grown up with big dogs and am now a dog and cat mom. Before my dog I boarded friends' dogs with me, watching them while they were away. My big dog is from the shelter and is fearful, so I have experience with shy shelter dogs, training, and managing their triggers. I also walk others' dogs. My schedule is flexible and is different depending on the day of the week. Communication is key , but I will try to make things work. At clients' homes I will follow their instructions and communicate any questions. I make sure the doors are locked when I leave, and try to be careful entering so animals don't potentially run away. Depending on instructions or pet temperaments, I will observe and work with them for enrichment and socialization needs. I make sure there is enough water in the bowls and feed as needed. For cats, I clean the litterboxes. They will not be in my home since I have pets.

About: I’ve loved dogs for most of my life. About 16 years ago, I rescued a stray mother dog and brought her into my home, where she safely gave birth to her puppies. I cared for the little family until every puppy found a loving forever home. That experience deepened my love for dogs and showed me how rewarding it is to help them feel safe, loved, and happy. After moving to the United States, I began caring for dogs through Rover. I am working full time at Rover to help care for doggies, so I am always there for them. Since I am working full time for this, I can closely follow the doggie’s routines and note any special care they may need. In Irvine, I was grateful to earn five-star reviews and the trust of many wonderful families, with several becoming repeat clients. Now our family has moved to Berkeley because my daughter will be attending UC Berkeley. Hence, I’m accepting new clients in Berkeley!! I’m excited to continue caring for dogs in our new community. When choosing our new home, one of my top priorities was finding a place with a fully fenced private backyard so visiting dogs would have a safe, secure space to play, explore, and relax. Our new home has a lovely private backyard where doggies can walk in and out of our house freely and enjoy their time in the backyard as well. We also have a huge park (San Pablo Park) near our home, with an huge dog-friendly grass field, and I usually take doggies there for a walk. With 16 years of hands-on dog care experience, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, recovering from surgery, or simply needs extra love and attention, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and the same love I’d give my own family. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and loved like a member of the family. I also share daily photos and updates so you always know how your dog is doing while you’re away. I’m currently not working and can spend time with doggies all day long. I am able to provide well-rounded care to them and could spare lots of energy and love to them. I provide calm, structured, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets are cared for in a clean, safe, and quiet environment with plenty of supervision. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walking, and rest, and I keep daily routines as consistent as possible to help pets feel secure. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, fresh water, timely meals, and lots of gentle attention. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and I communicate promptly with owners if anything seems off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s familiar routine, providing reliable care, companionship, and updates so owners can feel at ease.

About: I’ve been raising a very cute black pug for four years. For some reason, I couldn’t bring him with me and I miss him a lot. I really love dogs, so I’d love to do some dog-related work in my free time. I’m happy to let dogs on the sofa or bed, since I always clean them up after walks to make sure both they and the environment stay clean. I’ve spent time with many different dogs, including some that were initially unfriendly. By offering treats, approaching them slowly, and taking the time to get to know them, I was able to build trust. I’m very patient with dogs! From Monday to Friday, I’m usually out for 2–4 hours a day, but I’m home all day on weekends. During my free time, I’m happy to take dogs out to play. 1. Diet: I carefully control meal portions and feeding times, and always make sure dogs stay hydrated—especially in hot weather. After walks, I wait 5–10 minutes before giving them water. 2. Hygiene: I clean eye discharge promptly and keep both the dogs and their environment clean. 3. Exercise: I walk dogs 2–3 times a day. 30min/walk. 4. Playtime: In my free time, I love playing fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek with them. 5. Companionship: I spend as much time with them as possible. 6. Safety on walks: Dogs are always leashed outside. I stay alert when they interact with other dogs and separate them immediately if there are signs of aggression. I also make sure they don’t eat things off the ground, and I always clean up after them. 7. Sleeping: I used to sleep with my own dog, so if your dog is used to that, they’re welcome to join me too.

“Good guy, straight forward and prepared.”
