Dog Walking San Pablo Gateway

“Jennifer is excellent - very reliable, excellent communicator, and committed to doing a good job. She did a great job walking and feeding my dog Gemma who has special needs. I will definitely hire her again.”

“Megan was the best! Super flexible and easy. But best of all Wasabi my Frenchie LOVED HER! Walks, play, cookies, repeat! Can’t wait to return to SF and call yo Megan again! 5 stars ++++ Thanks Megan!”

“Shirley is wonderful. She took great care of my dog Java on short notice this morning. Java has been in training for leash reactivity and Shirley picked up exactly how to work with her very quickly. She is kind and really appreciate animals from what I can tell. Highly recommended”

About: I’ve cared for pups for friends, family, and neighbors, and have also had the joy of fostering dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and giving them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I will send all of my clients high-quality (and cute!) daily photo/video updates 🎞️ My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting throughout the week, and most weekends as well. I’m in class Wednesday evenings from 6–9pm and one weekend a month, but otherwise I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pup. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 6-year-old Frenchie, who gets along great with other dogs. In order to ensure the comfort and safety of all parties, I have a strict policy of only boarding ONE dog at a time. Your pup will get lots of individual attention while also getting plenty of doggy playtime with my super-friendly pup.

About: I love animals and have been around fur pets since I was a child. I have experience with big dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and kittens. My previous neighbor used to foster kittens while I dog sat for my friends, family, landlords, neighbors, etc. Dogs and cats are my therapy and love some cuddles and jogs. I have my own 7 month old female puppy who absolutely loves all dogs. She’s shy towards people but dogs are her favorite. I have a hybrid schedule with flexibility during the week and weekends. I’m flexible and open to sitting, walking, runs, or just check-in’s. I’m typically busiest on Tuesdays and likely only available in the late afternoon. We love communication so I’m always happy to send updates and have experience with dogs who need extra attention and/or healing pets. For my puppies/kittens they’re learning so a little patience and attention to fostering their schedule/training is important. These animals are like my children so showing them the same love and care is important to me.

“Esteban is the best! I was very afraid I would not find anyone to walk Piper as she is strong and slightly dog selective. Also certain dog folks do not want to walk her with a muzzle which is confusing to me, he has no issues with it. Esteban came for a meet and greet and it was a great fit! Piper has come home happy and exhausted! Can’t wait to grow our relationship with him! He’s the best!”

“Gary walked my dog Coco while I recovered from an injury and was a total lifesaver. Always punctual, endlessly patient, and genuinely great with dogs. Coco adored him. Gary is reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.”

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

About: I have been taking care of animals for over 15 years! I have experience with many different breeds and sizes. I worked at a dog kennel for over 2 years! I also have a furry friend myself, so I am very familiar with what it takes to take care of an animal. I am currently very available to take care of your pets! So I have lots of free time to watch over your pet/pets! I love to get outside and go on walks or hikes depending on your animals needs. I currently don’t have room to board with me but am comfortable staying over or making drop in visits when needed! I have been doing it for years so I know what it takes.

“Thank you for the last minute walk Cindy. We greatly appreciate it! Glad the pups were more responsive to you. So sorry we didn’t leave enough treats, glad you found the extras.”

About: Hello! My name is Dan, and I live in Downtown Oakland. I have two cats, Bernie and Kitt, and I've been pet sitting for dogs and cats for pretty much my entire life. As someone who understands the anxiety of leaving your furry friends behind, I take the responsibility of being a pet sitter very seriously. I am an organized, detail-oriented person, and I take pride in following instructions accurately and completely. I am available for overnight stays, drop-ins, or walks. When I'm not pet sitting, I work as a non-profit attorney and freelance writer. I work mostly remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be available for overnight stays as well as weekday drop-ins and walks. Especially if given enough advance notice or establishing a regular routine, I am typically able to accommodate most schedules. Outside of pet sitting, I work as a non-profit attorney and a freelance writer. I approach my clients' furry friends with the same compassion, care, and attention to detail that I do my own beloved pets, Bernie and Kitt. I communicate in advance with my clients to make sure that I understand their instructions and expectations. I very much appreciate the trust and responsibility involved in allowing someone to entire your home to care for your furry friends, and I strive to earn and deserve that trust from my clients.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for 10 years, and it all started when I ran my own dog walking and day care service as a kid. We even made shirts and everything! Now my husband and I sit together as a team, so your pup gets double the attention, cuddles, and playtime for the price of one. We both work from home, so there’s always someone around to hang out with your dog amd give them the attention they need :) We both work from home, so our schedule is open and flexible! We have a cattle dog mix at home, so rest assured your pup is in good hands and will have a lovely time at our casa. With two of us around, there’s always someone available to play, cuddle, and keep an eye on your pup. We treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We follow your care instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure your pet’s routine, safety, and needs always come first. With two sitters, your pet gets double the attention and there’s always a second set of eyes. We’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is in good hands!

About: I have cared for multi-pet households. I have experience feeding, brushing, changing litter, and administering medication. I love animals of all sorts. I am also good with them. I am good at reading their body language, and a lot of them gravitate towards me for whatever reason. They tend to be comfortable with my presence. I am between jobs at the moment, so that means I am somewhat more flexible to work around your schedule. I am a little bit busy with stuff in my personal life, and obviously I have boundaries about when I can and can't be at your home and how much work I want to take on, but the lack of structure in my life right now means we have more options for how I can show up for your pets. I am not in school either at the moment. I am not planning to have this be my only source of income, but for now I am flexible. I can't have pets come to my apartment; it is too small and I don't live on the bottom floor so it would be too much of a hassle to take them outside. I can only come to your home. I am very respectful of boundaries and property when I enter someone else's home. I will pay close attention to your instructions about how to care for your pets and any important other details I need to know. I am responsible and detail oriented, so you can trust me in your home and with your animals. I care that my clients feel secure with me being there while they are away.

“Shelly was super reliable and sweet to my dog Mazzy! Would def hire again!”

Becky V.

“Cristina was great! My dog can be a bit much on walks, since she is a high energy dog and can be reactive at times, but she seemed to manage her just fine! It was so convenient that she lived in my area. I would definitely recommend anyone, Loba took to her very quickly!”

Daniela H.

About: I have my doctorate in clinical psychology and love animals. I am not allowed to have my own pet so I love to pet sit! I am currently transitioning from internship to post doc and have a lot of time on my hands. Flexible in scheduling and happy to help when needed! I always make sure to follow the instructions left by the owner & give lots and lots of care and love to the pet I am sitting!

“Manuel was not only a bright and kind soul, but to know that he took my dog Terk’s recovery from a dog attack very seriously and making a point to tell me how much he loved my dog when he brought him back home really warmed my heart. Will definitely hire Manuel again to take care of my precious baby ☺️”

About: Hi! Some of my best memories with pets come from taking care of my friends’ pomeranian puppy during his first few years of life. I got to understand his playing, eating, and walking habits, and my friends could always rely on me to ensure he was cared for. I hope I can do the same your pets as well! My availability is open! Most of my work is remote so I’m able to take in almost any request. Depending on the energy of your fur baby they can work alongside with me if they like:) I live with two other people — one works in the morning and one works at night, and they love when pets are in the house. I have a fenced yard as well as an open living room for a playpen and/or crate! I also have a car harness available for larger pets if transportation is needed.

About: Starting eight years ago with our energetic all-black German Shepherd, I have spent the last eight years reliably watching dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I am currently only working part time. I usually work various shifts betweeb 6 to 3. The days I work change as well. I still have a lot of free time in between. Just check in with me to see if my availability matches the time you are requesting. Im looking forward to taking care of your furry child. 😊 Living in an apartment with nearby dog parks, I offer attentive, active in-home care, utilizing my extensive free time and eight years of experience to provide long daily walks and personalized attention.

About: I have experience with an animal behavior training course I took during school. I am empathetic and patient. I tend to give all people and animals the benefit of the doubt and the best care possible. I have to fur babies myself, a dog and cat, who I take better care of than myself most days. I'm capable of administering medication to all types of pets and have vast knowledge on animal behaviors. I am currently a graduate student with a lot of free time due to virtual classes. I enjoy getting out of the house to enjoy the weather and would love to also occupy this time with animals. Safety is a priority for me. I make sure all pets are taken care of in a safe, loving, and trusting environment that allows them to feel safe and loved.
