Dog Walking in Berkeley

“Matt was great! He came and met us the day before our walk/drop in, it was nice knowing he would know exactly where everything was and what to do. During the drop in he sent updates and pics! We will use him again. Thank you again, Matt!”

“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”

“Eric is a gem! He has regularly walked/wrangled our rambunctious four-year-old Australian Shepherd with patience and enthusiasm. Eric is super professional and a great communicator. We highly recommend, and are so grateful to him!”

“Louisa has been a fantastic walker. She’s responsive, flexible, and I know our dog is always happy to see her.”

“Jeff wins over every dog he meets. He's able to really get on their level and speak their language, while also engaging with them & the world safely and responsibly. I trust him with any pet implicitly.”

“Terence is a wonderful dog walker! He’s extremely sweet and patient with my large, handful-of-a-puppy. He’s super considerate of Macaroni’s needs, keeping him cool and hydrated on hot days and adjusting his approach based on what’s best/works for Mac. Terence is easy to work with and has been communicative, kind and flexible. He even gifted one of his dog’s toys to my pup after seeing how much my dog loved it! I trust him 100% to care for my pup anytime. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an experienced, considerate and caring walker for your pup!”

“Kat was quick to get back to me, flexible about timing, and my dog loved her. Will definitely book again :)”

“Great communication and responsiveness. Thank you for caring for her and giving her a safe and long walk.”

“Kaum takes great care of our dog Baloo! Baloo enjoys his daily walks when his parents are at work all day. It’s nice to have a friend and get some exercise—and we trust Kaum to care for Baloo as if he was his own! Thanks for making our transition back to work (in-person) so smooth!”

“Emily K is a wonderful pet caregiver. I highly recommend her service. Emily has proven to be an exceptionally responsible, mindful, and empathetic young professional and I give my highest recommendation to her as your animal’s caregiver. As a passionate nurse, Emily is a giver at heart and has a natural ability to really connect with and care for those around her, animals included! When caring for my dachshund, she has consistently showered him in love and always put his safety and wellbeing before anything else. He can be very leash reactive, but I trust Emily to take him on walks as she is very observant, aware of her surroundings, and in tune with his behaviors. She knows his triggers, picks up on subtle cues, and is proactive in anticipating and avoiding any scuffles or barking episodes. She has a gentle, motherly nature, taking great care to protect his back and make sure his physical safety needs are being met. She really listens to me and takes my requests and concerns seriously. I also highly value her honesty and transparency regarding anything she noticed while caring for my boy. I can always count on Emily to take excellent care of my furry friend, and you can too!”

“Angela was outstanding during our first week of dog walks. She made my nervous dog feel right at home and was on time and thorough every time. Can’t recommend highly enough.”

“Brian and his girlfriend have been wonderful walkers for my dog, Murphy. They’re reliable and communicative, and have expertly navigated situations when my more senior dog refuses to leave the sofa 😂. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable dog walker or watcher in the Berkeley area!”

“Amy was able to handle our rambunctious puppy and was flexible on scheduling. Really appreciated her!”

“I’m Derek’s mother. From the moment Derek took responsibility for Brownie back when he was just a young boy in primary school, his dedication to his beloved dog has been nothing short of remarkable. Over the years, I've witnessed a level of patience and commitment from Derek that goes beyond the ordinary, often exceeding even my own patience when he was a toddler. One vivid memory that stands out is from Derek's middle school years in China, a period when the academic pressure was immense. He would leave home early, before 6 AM, and wouldn't return until after 7 PM. One morning, in his rush to catch the bus, Derek forgot to say goodbye to Brownie. He spent the entire day distressed and guilty, worried about how Brownie might have felt. This incident might seem small, but it highlights his deep empathy and consideration for Brownie's feelings, even amidst his own stressful schedule. When Derek moved to the United States for college, he made the significant decision to bring Brownie with him, a testament to his unwavering commitment. Adjusting to a new country is challenging enough, but Derek ensured that Brownie was by his side. During college, he sacrificed much of his social life, choosing instead to spend his time caring for Brownie, making sure his furry friend felt at home in their new environment. Seeing Derek grow and continue to prioritize Brownie’s well-being with such dedication has been a source of great pride for me. I sincerely believe that Derek’s compassion and understanding towards animals make him exceptionally suited to care for any pet, as he always treats them with the utmost love and respect, just as he has always done for Brownie.”

“Jalyn took amazing care of my cat, Tux, and my dog, Bud. Tux can be a bit wiley with strangers, but he warmed up immediately to Jalyn. She has a clear love of animals, and I think both of my pets picked up on that. She was communicative and responsible, and I loved all the pictures she sent me while I was away. I would recommend her to any pet parent!”

“I love having Kaitlyn watch my pets! I have a maltipoo and tabby cat and she does excellent with them even though they aren’t the friendliest with people. She was able to follow my instructions and constantly keep me updated on them. I am always pleasantly surprised when she sends me photos of them having fun during playtime or even randomly throughout the day. It melts my heart and takes away my anxiety whenever she keeps me updated. Kaitlyn has her own pets which is why she’s so great at bonding with pets and treating them with the gentle love and care they deserve! I can tell she genuinely cares for my pets and I have no hesitation about coming back to Kaitlyn for future bookings!”

Our home is baby proofed as we have a four month old. We have a two bedroom apartment with a lounge area perfect for pets!

“She was very responsive and sent pics. Our dog seemed to like her. Thanks Elery!”

“Simone is a very responsible and competent caretaker. She has a kind and gentle demeanor that animals just love. Rest assured, your fur baby will be in great hands! Simone always shows up on time and adhered great to our chiweenies schedule which we really appreciated!”

About: Drawing from my own personal pet care experience, I've come to understand that caring for animals goes beyond just fulfilling their basic needs. It's about creating a special bond built on trust and companionship. From feeding and grooming to playtime and cuddles, each interaction becomes a cherished moment. Additionally, being attuned to their unique behaviors and ensuring their health through regular check-ups adds an extra layer of responsibility. Ultimately, my pet care experience has shown me the immense joy that comes from nurturing and being a true friend to my furry companions. With my current part-time schedule, I have ample availability in the mornings to dedicate to comprehensive pet care. This flexible arrangement allows me to focus on providing attentive and responsible attention to pets during their crucial morning routines. Whether it's feeding, exercise, grooming, or simply offering companionship, I can ensure that pets under my care start their days on a positive and nurturing note. When caring for pets in a client's home, I adapt to their familiar surroundings, minimizing any potential stress. I meticulously follow their routines, ensuring consistent feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any necessary medication administration. I make it a priority to maintain open communication with pet owners, providing updates on their furry companions' well-being and any noteworthy observations. Regardless of the setting, my overarching goal remains the same: to create a positive, safe, and nurturing experience for pets, fostering their health and happiness.
