Dog Walking in San Pablo Gateway, Oakland

“Nicole is great! She is kind, thoughtful, and has bonded so well with my Nina. She’s been incredibly flexible given my work schedule, and working with her has been a pleasure. Highly recommend!”

“Jonathan and Chiel were awesome! Super respectful, prompt, and communicative. My dog loved them and they were so good with her. They took some great photos on their walk and I was relieved knowing she was in great hands while I was out of town on a trip. 100% recommend.”

“Tanitsha took care of our recently adopted dog who is still getting used to her new home and immediately made her feel very comfortable. Lots of live updates and cute photos from all three walks, and really prompt message replies. Will 100% be using her again - she is great!”

“Christine came to the rescue on short notice to walk our foster dog while we were on vacation. She was patient, understanding and offered great care. Love the rover.com app and the report card feature! Christine clearly followed the protocol, gave informative daily feedback and put our concerns about leaving new foster pet at ease. Thanks Christine!”

“Laura takes amazing care of my pups. I have one dog who doesn’t like strangers and barks at everything and another dog who has anxiety. She does great with them and is very patient with both. She always communicates and is very dependable. I highly recommend her services!”

“Lena is absolutely amazing with our Artichoke. Artie is always so happy to arrive and visit with her and her amazing place and housemates. I know when Artie is there he couldn't be more loved and entertained. An amazing photographer who has saved us some of the best moments with our dog. Great communication and ensures he gets enough activities in during his visits. They are the absolute best and honestly I couldn't imagine leaving him with anyone else.”

About: Since I was fifteen years old I took care of my aunt's dog, we were always very close. Occasionally, I take care of my sister's cat. I also had different pets growing up. I currently work part-time. I have the mornings free from 10am to 2pm to spend time with your pets, walk them, feed them and play I am good at following instructions and special diets of the animals, always making sure they are feeling comfortable, safe and happy at all times.

“Alex is an exemplary pawrent, that provides endless love and care for their doggo. They even adjusted their lives to care for their dog's anxiety.”

About: I love cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes! I'll take care of them as if they were my own, and will gladly be a temporary replacement human for them while you are away! I can follow your directions and will always send pictures and updates to you frequently. If it's a longer stay, I will provide Polaroids of some of my favorite pictures I took of your pet! As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it is to be away from your furry family! I can administer medications, and have a lot of experience with injections as well (my childhood dog had diabetes, and I administered the insulin shots). I'm more than happy to take extra care of special needs or pets with health issues! 🐶 DOG EXPERIENCE: I've cared for my dogs on my own for 8+ years, and always had dogs growing up (25+ years). I've worked with dogs of all temperaments, from shy & timid dogs to high-energy dogs to very reactive dogs. I am currently a mother to two dogs (one senior, one younger), so I have direct experience successfully managing multiple dogs on walks and at home. I also have a lot of experience with special needs and dogs with health issues, so I'm very comfortable administering medications and taking special care with dogs that have mobility issues. 🐱 CAT EXPERIENCE It's your cat's world, I'm just a guest in it! I've had the honor of taking care of amazing cats through Rover, and have taken care of cats for friends and family. I have experience managing a wide range of personalities, from high-energy to senior cats, from escape artists to extremely shy. I've also taken care of multiple cats, so I am very comfortable taking care of more than one and following special instructions for each. I will be in tune with your cat and will take it at the pace your cat decides. Your cat's the driver! I know how to engage in fun play sessions with your cat, and will make sure they feel enriched and happy after the visit! More info on my experience for each service: 🐕 DOG WALKING - Reactive dogs: I have a lot of experience walking reactive dogs. My recently adopted dog Stella was extremely reactive before I trained her, so I know how important it is to be in tune with your reactive dog on a walk and have eyes on your surroundings at all times and an exit route if needed. Your reactive dog will be safe with me, and I will be sure to be aware of all the triggers! - Shy / Timid dogs: I have personal experience with super shy and nervous dogs, and your dog will be safe with me on the walks. I'll be in tune with your dog to make sure they feel confident and safe with me. - Leash pullers: My dog Louie is a former leash puller (it's amazing how strong a 15 lb dog can be!) before I personally trained him to stop pulling. I also have walked larger dogs (i.e. Chow Chow) that pulled on the leash, so I know how important it is to have an iron grip on those leashes! - Multiple dogs: I have two dogs of my own, so I know how to handle multiple leashes and how to manage more than one dog on a walk. - Large-size and extra-large dogs: I have walked large dogs at the shelters as well for friends, so I know how to walk with larger dogs, especially leash pullers! - Walking styles: I'll ask in any meet + greets to learn your dog's walking styles, I've walked them all! From the "must sniff every flower and plant and trash can" to leash pullers, I will cater my walk to your dog! 🐾 DROP-IN VISITS - Multiple pets (dogs or cats): I have personal experience with my two dogs and have had the honor to check in on homes with multiple cats, so I am completely comfortable navigating different pet personalities and special instructions! I'll make sure each pet is individually taken care of! - Litter box cleaning: I will provide litter box cleaning every visit (I like to do this so I can report back on any health issues your pet may be having!) - I don't mind doing a deep clean! - Cleaning bowls: I will clean your pet's bowls daily (or as directed) and can clean, refill, and program feeders as well. - Playtime and/or cuddles: If your pet permits, I'll make sure to squeeze in extra time for play or cuddles! If things are going well, and we're over our allotted time, I tend to stay just a bit longer to finish any play sessions (at no extra charge to you!) :) Bonding with your pet is more important than clocking out! I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, so I'll have plenty of time to provide care for your pet! Sometimes I have morning meetings, but I will always let you know if the timing doesn't work on my side. I have reliable transportation so I can travel to you! I will take care of your home, ensuring everything is safe and sound when entering and leaving. I can follow any special directions you have, and will provide regular updates throughout the service.

“Anais is incredibly puntual, caring, and communicative. She is mindful of my aging dog’s needs and even took her to sniff some wildflowers at my dog’s favorite spot during their walk.”

“Grace took care of our cat, Holly, and apartment while we were away for a week. She took excellent care of Holly and followed our instructions for feeding perfectly. Our cat has no teeth so she requires a little extra care around feeding. Holly really enjoyed Grace and we received many happy pictures of them cuddling. Grace also was house-sitting for us, and she did a great job at keeping our house clean and safe. Grace is very kind, communicative, and punctual. I highly recommend her for all your pet and house sitting needs!”

“Cydney has been a great friend to our pup and our family. She was flexible with sone scheduling changes and communicative throughout her time walking our doggie. We will definitely be booking again!!”

“Temitayo was super kind and thoughtful throughout the process. Successfully followed all my instructions and my dog is obsessed. I feel so relieved to have a consistent walker who is easygoing and bonded so quickly with my pup.”

“Jay is the best with my two pups! super accommodating with my odd schedule, communicative and gets the best photos of them having a good time. Having jay has been a life saver for when I have to be in the office!”

“Alfredo and his wife have taken such great care of my golden retriever Taco when I’ve been a little bit more busy recently. They come twice a day to walk him and are always on time and responsible and Taco is very happy to see them always. Thank you so much!”

“Lisa is one of the greatest people I know. I’d trust her with my own life and she has graciously taken care of my own dogs throughout our friendship. I never have to worry about my pups when they are in Lisa’s care. She’s compassionate, attentive, and funny to boot!”

“Lilly did a great job walking my jumpy, nervous, skidding dog. It took a while to warm up to her, but by the end, she was eating treats off her hand. So proud of my dog! And Lilly too for being so patient. Looking forward to using Lilly again!”

“Amber is an exceptional petsitter! My two senior kitties, Spike and Mango, fell in love love with her immediately. Amber has a natural calm and kind energy and my kitties just wanted to snuggle with her. She’s a responsible caretaker, reliable, and punctual. Amber fed them and gave them their medications on time, she cleaned up after them and kept our house maintained, and she was on the dot with feeding them breakfast and dinner. Amber’s care is above and beyond. If you want an amazing pet lover to care for your pets, then please reach out to Amber. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“Ondrehya does an amazing job. She is communicative with me and affectionate with my doggy. I have total trust in her and appreciate her stopping by for a meet and greet on short notice.”

“Ray is amazing with pets. She has pet sit for us several times - we have 2 dogs & a cat. She adores pets and goes the extra mile to take care of them and have fun with them. She is extremely responsible and communicative. Highly recommend!”
