Oakland Pet Care has been so so good for our family! Our 2…read moreyear old dog Sasha has a couple issues: 1) he has a neurological condition that makes his balance really wobbly. 2) he is a nervous guy, and especially triggered at our house, which makes him a pup that needs someone to take their time to get to know him and build his trust. Through Oakland Pet Care, we met Caitlin, who is an absolute angel, and loves Sasha, and all her dog friends so much. She takes incredible loving care of him on his evening walks. Because of Covid, our previous dog walker (who took a pack on hikes in the area), had to close. So of course I reached out to Delia of Oakland Pet Care! Even though Sasha needs a bit more TLC (esp in the beginning) than most dogs, they took us on, and it has been SO GREAT! Olivia is the pack dog-walker, and she is incredibly responsible, punctual, and loving with the dog packs! With her, I feel that my dog is very safe, having so much fun, and in such good hands. She sends an adorable email every day with photos of the dogs, where they went, and how the hike went. The team of Oakland Pet Care is a true gem and godsend. I recommend them very highly!

They were great at communicating throughout the trips, and even got our super timid kitty to hang out and play a bit. We also loved supporting a local small business, which they run very well and professionally.

They were also amazingly accommodating and understanding when I got a few dates mixed up, and were able to add a few visits in on really short notice, which was so appreciated given it was 100% my mistake. Highly recommend Fuzzy Britches! Thanks Kaity and Tim :)

On top of that, she is cool with coming every other day which saves me a ton of money. I suspect I will be using Fetch! Pet Care's services for a long long time.

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!
