Would you like to get paid to spend time with dogs on local trails and beaches? Oakland Pet Care offers a positive-reinforcement pet care experience to support families in the East Bay (primarily North Oakland and Rockridge). The dogs we walk are carefully vetted based on individual temperament. The largest part of our business is off-leash pack hikes and leashed walks. We’re looking for a few more pet-loving, responsible humans to join our team! We believe dogs should be out on the streets and not in cars. We pride ourselves on our low carbon footprint. Our dogs are all close together, so pick-up time is minimized; instead, you'll be spending more time out in the fresh air getting exercise, walking dogs who adore you while getting paid well to do it.

Our solo neighborhood walks are generally 30 minutes-45 minutes. We also offer off-leash hikes as well (up to 6 dogs). Our clients and dogs love us and we are proud of our 5 star yelp reviews!

Our goal is for everyone here at Oakland Pet Care to be happy: the dogs, their families, and you! To learn more about us, visit our website: www.oaklandpetcare.com
