    Twix having the time of her life on her pack hike!
    Avani P.

    We have nothing but good things to say about our experience using their dog walking services for our pup, Twix. Georgina, our walker and Delia, the owner have always been super easy to communicate and work with! We had a horrible situation with a past dog walker where we found out he wasn't actually walking our dog (!) so we came in with a lot of questions and were hesitant to trust another dog walker again. I worked at a pet tracking device company and Georgina was willing to add herself to Twix's app so we were always alerted to where they were going and how long. Twix always came back happy and tired. Couldn't ask for more!

    Small dog pack out on a trail walk.

    Working with the wonderful team at Oakland Pet Care has been a fantastic experience, especially for our Yorkie Daisy. We started with solo walks for some remedial training and then transitioned to group walks with a pack of small pups. They explore the neighborhood and local trails. Yes, my 5lb Yorkie goes on trail walks and loves it! After each session we receive a report and photos. My family loves reading about her adventures and seeing Daisy with her besties captured on film. What makes OPC particularly special are the people. I can't say enough about them. From owner Delia and her diligent scheduler to trainers Cloe and Aly, and Daisy's current walker, Melissa -- all are incredibly kind, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Daisy's time out with OPC makes her day...and mine too! If you live in the Rockridge area of Oakland and want to put a smile on your dog's face, definitely check out Oakland Pet Care!

    I have only good things to say about Mariko, our really fabulous walker, and Delia, the caring owner. Our three year old golden doodle, Duncan, loved going on hikes with Mariko and (dog) company. I knew they were a great match when Mariko came to pick up Duncan, a stage-four mom clinger, while I was working from home. He bolted down the hall when he saw her, excited for his adventure. We're moving out of their service area, but I highly recommend. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!

    Delia and Chester at our wedding

    5 Yelp stars doesn't even cut it - Delia and her team were life savers, anxiety easers and one of the best things that could have happened to us. We rescued our pup, Chester, when he was about a year old and quickly learned that he had some behavioral issues. We took him to behavioralists, classes and with tons of support - we slowly introduced him to new things and he was able to ease into a normal life. We needed a dog sitter/ walker, but were very wary of who we worked with. We wanted Chester to continue to improve and not regress back. After lots of googling, stress, trial and error - we found Oakland Pet Care. Delia came to our house to meet Chester and was nothing but loving, encouraging and understanding - it's all a good story from there. We implicitly trust Delia with Chester - he would do overnights, daycare and walks, some days. Pick ups and drop offs were simple and communication was easy and very responsive. I never worried about Chester when he was with Delia. Delia and her team were a reliable and trusted part of our lives - I'm not sure what we would have done without them. Chester has a top 5 and Delia is certainly in it - he simply loves her. When we got married - we wanted Chester to be a part of the wedding, but knew he would be terrified if he had to spend the evening. Delia to the rescue! She brought Chester to our wedding in St.Helena, hung out with him for the ceremony and took him back home with her. It was unforgettable and made our day perfect - it wouldn't have been the same without him there. If you made it all the way to the bottom of this review - you've found her. She's the partner you need to make sure your pup is taken care of when you cant be there. We moved to San Mateo and still bring Chester over to Delia when we go on vacation. Thank you, Oakland Pet Care - we love you!

So when my FT dogsitter slash boyfriend decided to take a job that required him to go into the office everyday, of course I was worried about my little one getting enough exercise and attention. Alas, it was all for naught because we found Matt. I couldn't ask for a better dog walker than Matt. He has been taking my dog on group walks, 5 days a week, for about 5 months now. He's dependable, communicative, and damn good at his job! I am constantly impressed by how in-tune Matt is with my dog--not only can he sense her moods / interpret her behavior, he'll actively adapt to meet her needs. Plus, he knows all the nearby trails like the back of his hand. Thanks to Matt, my dog is more happy, social, and well-behaved. I trust Matt entirely with my precious pup. He's shown that he has the experience, training, and good judgment to take care of her in any situation. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a dog walker!

He has even come gone to my place in the rain on a half an hour notice for an emergency for me, thanks Matt! I highly recommend you entrust you furry best friend to Matt as well :)

    Kathy is a phenomenal at training people and their dogs. She's helped us with in-home training,…read moreoff-leash practice, and everything that's come up in between. She also hosts monthly classes that are free for clients who work with her regularly and has put in lots of additional time inviting dogs (and their people) to tag along on pack walks. It's clear that she does this work because it's her passion and she cares about dogs being happy and well cared for. "Balanced" dog training includes tons of treats, lots of play, and the safety needed to make sure no one gets hurt. We weren't sure what to expect from training with Kathy, but it's been a wonderful balance of true fun, silliness, joy, and clear and firm boundaries. We're so grateful to have her in our lives.

We had already tried multiple trainers, different techniques, and even followed our vet's suggestion to try antidepressants--but nothing was helping (in fact, the medication only made things worse). The moment I spoke to Kathy on the phone, I felt confident she truly understood the problem and could guide us in the right direction. And she absolutely has. Over the past year, Checkers has made tremendous progress thanks to Kathy's knowledge, patience, and the clear guidance she gave us. We followed her suggestions carefully--even switching vets based on her recommendation--and the results have been life-changing. Earlier this year, we had to travel out of the country and trusted Kathy to board Checkers. During that time, he developed a beautiful bond with her partner Dan. This was nothing short of amazing, as Checkers has always been fearful of men. Watching their relationship grow has been such a gift. With Kathy's help (and the influence of her own two balanced dogs), Checkers has learned how to be a dog--something I once thought might never happen. He now participates in pack walks and can even run off-leash in the fields, something I couldn't have imagined a year ago. If you're struggling with your dog's behavior and feel like nothing is working, do yourself and your dog a favor and call Kathy. She and Dan have changed our lives, and I am endlessly grateful for the care and dedication they've shown to Checkers and to us.
