Dog Walking in Toler Heights, Oakland, CA

About: Hi there! I am looking forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a very eager and fun animal professional who enjoys spending time with cats and dogs in both my work and personal life. I graduated with my BS in animal science and now work from home full time. I have owned pets my entire life and seen many of my pets from birth through their life cycle. I love interacting with pets of all sizes, and ages! I am extremely patient and do not at all mind the demanding nature of younger puppies. Additionally, I love being outdoors and there’s no better way to enjoy the day than with a furry friend. Never fret cat parents- there’s no discrimination here! I love cats equally as much! Cats and kittens alike offer so much in the way of affection and companionship. Feline playtime is essential and I am more than capable of keeping all of your kitties happy and entertained! Unfortunately my pups aren’t so fond so I’m limited to drop ins. My current schedule allows me to be available full time to schedule visits and walks. I have a lot of free time and would love to fill it with pet love! I love to play with pets in their preferred style! Getting down with some toys and treats is always on the agenda. Walks, jogs and good snuggles are never denied!

“Megan was amazing! She was very attentive and thorough with her walks of Gnocchi and was so kind to him! I will book her again the next time Gnocchi needs a walk.”

“Dora was wonderful to work with! She took great care of my dog Sassy, feeding her dinner and taking her for a walk on the days I needed to work late. She was very responsive to my messages and sent pictures of the walks. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. Thanks Dora!”

About: First and foremost we have the best treats and home cooked food. The mystery machine is hosted by none other than Dumbledore himself (a sweet Great Dane who wanted to maintain his Scooby Doo persona) I am a healthcare professional working in emergency and critical care who always wished I was taking care of animals more than people. I am always home, we just moved into a large home with a big backyard in the Oakland Hills and decided to host some fur babies for fun and play time with our own big baby =) we love couch cuddles and beach trips .. your loved one will rarely be this spoiled =) It is our number one priority and our life centers around our children, and thus, your children. We've adjusted to being parents to a stage 5 Great Dane clinger. We have a fenced yard and lots of indoor space to adjust to any need. Just tell us what your pet needs and it can be accommodated.

About: I’ve not only grown up loving and caring for animals but have done professional care for the last 10 years and would love to see if I’m the right fit to care for your pet! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be attentive to whoever is in my care. My ideal is to work during the week. I try to foster the safest, loving, and individualized care based on your pets personality and needs. I have experience caring for elderly pets as well as pets with special needs

“Daria was easy to communicate with and was great with Juni! I appreciated that she wiled Juni’s paws after walking in the rain. Loved the action shots on Juni’s report card. Thank you, Daria! :)”

About: Dogs aren’t just pets to me… they’re family. I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 plus years, and I truly love getting to know each pup’s personality, quirks, and favorite belly rub spots. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or more of a cuddle-on-the-couch type, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I can accommodate last-minute bookings when needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get lots of supervision, playtime, and companionship. 🐾 I take time to learn each dog’s routine, behavior, and any special needs so I can care for them the way you do. Whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, or giving them space when they need quiet time, I follow your instructions closely. If I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress. I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and will contact you right away if anything seems off. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and genuine love for animals and I treat every pet like they’re my own family member. 🐾❤️

“Briana has been wonderful with my pup, who can be difficult to walk and has had an injury recently. My dog loves her, and Briana's been so responsible, responsive to requests, and has taken great care of my dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I don’t discriminate based on breed or size—I welcome them all! I have hands-on experience with dogs and can administer medication if needed. I’ll also make sure to stick to your pet’s usual routine, providing them with the care and comfort they’re used to. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a 10-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son. Our beloved family dog was with us for 14 years before recently passing, so I truly understand how important pets are to a family. I’m home most of the time due to my toddler’s nap schedule, which means your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. We also have a fenced yard, so your pup will have a safe space to play and relax. I’ll walk and feed your dog based on your instructions and do my best to keep them happy, comfortable, and loved. We’re a dog-friendly household with a decent-sized fenced backyard—perfect for play and relaxation. If you’re okay with it, we welcome dogs on the couch and treat them like part of our family while you're away. My kids absolutely love animals, so I kindly ask that your pet be kid-friendly. I do daily short walks around the neighborhood, and I’m happy to offer longer walks or hikes for an additional fee.

“Nia is extremely reliable, easy to work with, and always keeps in touch. She takes great care of my dog and has accommodated multiple schedule changes with no problem . Thank you, Nia!”

About: Have peace of mind when you leave your family in my care. I am a lifelong animal lover & pet owner. I am a responsible adult with great credit and integrity. I work remotely and I have a lot of freedom within my schedule, but my passion is working with animals. You can trust that I will communicate and treat your pets as my own, meeting their needs. I have a long and trusted history helping my family & friends with their pet care needs. From simple walks, short/long term care, training help and check ins. Being a pet owner myself, I understand the stress that comes with finding trusted care for our furry friends. I prefer to care for your family in your home to avoid any undue stress being in a new environment. Trust in me...& be happy. I work remotely. I am a Quality Assurance Specialist. Working from home allows near constant supervision. I go on 3 walks a day with my dog. I can work in your home as long as you have a good wifi connection. I prefer to watch in my client's home to avoid any extra stress and keep your pet comfortable while you are away. I can make some exceptions. When I watch in my home, I do have a fenced in yard and easy access for dogs with a dog door. I am great with communication and instructions. As a quality specialist I pay a lot of attention to detail and caring for your pets will be no different.

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life, and have helped train puppies as young as 8 weeks old to be ready for adult doghood. I have administered deworming medication, washed dogs numerous times, and love making sure pups are living life to the fullest. I also love being active for high-energy dogs and taking them on walks all around Oakland, exploring different trails, parks, and neighborhoods. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs young and old, and show each of them love, care, and patience as if they were my own. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs to openly play in, and a large home for both dogs and cats to enjoy during their inside time. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am typically home all day as I work from home, and have plenty of availability. As I work from home and have flexible hours, I'm available for walks, doggy day care , or boarding all week. I'm flexible with working hours and am happy to accommodate your needs! I live in a house with a fenced-in yard, so your pup can play in the yard as well as hang out inside the home. I love going on walks and hikes all around Oakland and the surrounding neighborhoods and parks, and can provide plenty of play for higher-energy animals.
