About: I’ve been pet-sitting and a pet owner for most of my life. I grew up in a 2-3 dog household and recently had my pit-mix Marla. I am currently pet-free but excited to use this opportunity to meet and care for new friends! I have a flexible, part-time working schedule and I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I am able to easily by car or transit from where I stay For dogs: I live in a first floor apartment with easy access to a park (3 min walk) and plenty of safe streets for walks of any length. There is a dog park about a 7 min walk from my place. Regardless of where I am, I enjoy taking long walks and am very patient and attentive when in public with dogs. For cats: I am happy to care for them in whatever way they need whether that includes giving a lot of attention or space if thats what they prefer. Providing food, water, play and a comfortable, safe place to coexist is my goal.

About: I would love to care for your pet and provide them as much walks, runs, or scritches. I have taken care of cats and my rambunctious dog Kona as well as several rover friends when I was in college. I am prepared for all sorts of personalities and super excited to help out. I work from home most days so am happy to go on many walks and feed them on whatever schedule that they are accustomed to. We live near parks so the neighborhood is a convenient area to walk around. Our household has no pets and I only want to care for one pet at a time, so the home will be private and they will have our undivided attention. I live in the temescal Piedmont area and would love to take your pet out on frequent walks.

“Lauren is our favorite dog walker in Oakland. Link is the happiest boy when we get home and all her updates make me feel like he had the best day!”

“Laurel was awesome. She was a real life saver! And wonderful with Indiana. He had a great time and she was very attentive to him. She was also great at asking about me for any information that I hadn’t provided. This made me incredibly comfortable with him inher hands I knew that she was be cautious but she was also attentive and invested in him having fun while I was gone!”

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 have grown up caring for dogs of all ages and sizes at different quantities! I’m not afraid of messes and love to give treats! I am currently a part time college student and work part time. I will be spending my free time catering to your babies when I’m not in class or studying :) I can make sure you’re fur baby is fed and comfortable! I’m capable of going for walks and bathing them! And I’m comfortable with cleaning up messes!

“I hired Greg to walk my little chihuahua mix Otis, and I very highly recommend!! My previous dog walker had to call out for a family emergency, and I was worried about starting someone new, but Greg immediately put my mind at ease. He’s playful, thoughtful, sends detailed updates, and really takes the time to know your dog. Otis has so much energy, but Greg is patient and returns him tuckered out and ready to nap all day. Happy to have found him!”

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.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a young child, my family always had at least one dog. I am comfortable with spending time with dogs, walking them, playing with them, and anything special care they may need! I’m currently a part time college student (I’m starting college later in life) so I have plenty of time to be able to visit and hang out with pets. I always make sure the cats’ needs come first, checking all doors and windows are secured, and that there are no hazards. I’m very calm and patient, whatever energy and mood the cat is in, that is what goes!

“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!”

“And all around beautiful girl. Very well-versed in every possible situation that could arise, from a super hot day, to passing by a reactive dog Tucker anticipated his walk with her every time with a bark and wiggly butt!”

“Christine is detail-oriented and incredibly caring in her approach! She was communicative throughout, asked good questions as needed, and took extra care to ensure my dog Ellie trusted her and had a good time. An excellent helping hand!”

About: have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both being a dog owner and pet sitting for others. I have a 3-year-old Miniature Poodle who I have raised and cared for since he was young, so l understand how important it is to provide dogs with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. Through caring for my own dog, I'm experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic grooming, potty breaks, and making sure dogs feel comfortable and safe. I have also cared for other dogs for friends and family, which has helped me become comfortable working with dogs that have different personalities, routines, and needs. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. I'm patient, attentive, and will make sure your pet receives plenty of affection. playtime, and supervision while you're away. I'm also happy to follow any special routines or instructions you have so your dog feels as comfortable as possible. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine because I have a 3-year-old Miniature Poodle of my own. I make time throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to adjust my routine based on your pet’s normal schedule and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while they are with me. I live in an apartment and make safety and supervision a priority at all times. Dogs are always leashed when leaving the apartment and carefully supervised in hallways, elevators, and outdoor areas. I make sure each pet has a comfortable and clean space to relax, along with regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. Since I also have a friendly Miniature Poodle, I would make sure dogs are introduced carefully and that everyone is comfortable around each other. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s feeding schedule, walking routine, house rules, and any special care instructions so their pet can feel as close to their normal routine as possible.

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

“Brian came in to do a meet and greet with Kiara, and immediately bonded with her. He took her for a long walk. After which our dog returned feeling content, happy and fully tired. Definitely recommend Brian for his responsiveness and good care.”

“Adam took our Golden Retriever Kobe on two walks. He was great. Kobe was being a little difficult on his second walk, and Adam was very patient and even stayed to play with him for the last 20 minutes when he didn’t want to walk anymore.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs all of my life! I am no stranger to raising puppies, caring for sick dogs and being attentive to their needs no matter the size. I am working fully remote and because of my position I am able to dedicate lots of time during the week to assisting pet parents when they’re unable to care for their pups. By utilizing my existing knowledge of pet care with the instructions laid out by the owners, I offer loving, patient, careful and diligent company for your fur babies!
