Dog Walking in Oakland

Thank you

Candi is truly a gem! She is highly dependable, flexible, and always does her best to accommodate last-minute schedule changes. Her deep knowledge of dog behavior shows in the way she handles Loki—he absolutely adores her. This is the fifth or sixth time we’ve had the pleasure of hiring her, most recently while we were away in Wyoming for a week with little to no cell service. We felt completely at ease knowing Loki was in her care. She was also prompt to reply whenever we reached out and even sent us a picture when we missed him, which meant the world. She isn’t a clock-watcher; instead, she ensures Loki gets the attention he needs, even if it means going beyond the booked time. Candi came twice a day, took him out for walks and playtime, and maintained his training—making sure he heels properly and doesn’t pick up bad habits. She also followed our instructions perfectly, administering Loki’s regular medication on time. Candi is the next best thing to being there yourself, and we couldn’t recommend her enough. If you want someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely dedicated to your dog’s well-being, she’s the one.

My mom’s dog, Sophie, loves Melinda! She’s very communicative and I’m very happy to have found her.
