We do have a lot of fun at work, but we take our jobs very seriously. Our team members have experience working with animals in settings from the SFSPCA to doggie day care to specialized veterinary clinics. We have policies and procedures to address most situations (for example, how to successfully introduce a new dog into an established pack or what to do when a dog ingests something during a walk). We work together as a team to support each other and you! We are licensed, insured, bonded, and have permits to walk dogs in the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD). Since we've won so many awards, people tell us they consider us to be the best dog walking and pet-sitting service in the East Bay. We feel very fortunate to be able to work with the Bay Area's wonderful pets and guardians.


We prioritize continuing education, communication, and positive reinforcement. Our team backs each other up on the trails and remains in contact with our office staff, so you don't have to worry about your pet's safety.


We will give your dog or cat a positive and safe experience. Our fees are in the middle of the range of comparable services that are licensed, insured, and bonded.

4worldlovers: We are a small neighborhood referral service not a faceless app. We don’t just walk dogs, we are passionate about dogs. We train them to be trail-ready for safe off-leash group hikes and fun North Oakland leash walks.

All dog walkers love dogs but that’s not enough to keep them safe. Our roster of dog walkers are Dog Walking Academy certified.

Our walkers use only the most up-to-date, force-free, positive training techniques to keep your dog safe and happy on our walks. Their passion, after all, is to show your dog a wonderful time!

Serving only North Oakland dogs & dog lovers means a smaller carbon footprint for the planet. It also means your dog spends less time in our vehicles and more time on the trail!

We take care of our human clients with the same attention we give our canine ones. We take care of our neighbors, too, by actively sharing the sidewalks and trails with other users.

Your dog joins one of our pro walkers and a small group of carefully selected dog friends for an hour-long romp on Oakland Hills trails.

We take your dog out on her own or with a small group of carefully selected dog friends to enjoy the sites and sniffs of Rockridge.

Not sure your dog is ready for off-leash walks? Our unique Trail-to-Trail program will get your pup ready to hit the trails with us!

Our pro dog trainers turn your wild child into a well-mannered companion. We know you’re busy, so we do the training for you!

As a small local business we can give individual attention to our dogs and clients.

Our dog walking services include group dog hikes, solo dog walks, dog boarding,

For dogs that love to romp, run, and sniff around. These personalized packs of 6 dogs or fewer hit the nearby trails for at least 1 hour of activity.

For dogs that like to stroll at their own pace and/or thrive on individualized attention. These neighborhood walks keep your pup close to home but get them out for some fresh air and one-on-one fun.

To keep your dog at ease—and give them lots of extra attention, distraction, and love—while you’re away. These services include walks, feedings, snuggles, and more.

When time (and the dogs) allow, we love to post videos of the pups out on their jaunts. It’s a great way to see how your dog interacts with his/her furry friends, surroundings, and of course, us!

I can’t recommend Audree of Jet Dog highly enough. She is AMAZING with our sweet but sometimes timid dog Evie, and has become a beloved person in her life. She not only gives her the exercise and socialization that she needs but an abundance of love. As soon as Audree nears our front door Evie starts to wag and wiggle with happiness. Audree is much more than a dog walker. She truly understands dogs and knows how to guide them to be their best. If you are looking for a caring, capable, responsible walker there is no need to look any further.

Kira is an Oakland based dog walker who only utilizes Positive Reinforcement Methods (R+) to keep things fun & safe!

Pack members are picked up from their homes and taken to a nearby trail or park to run and play off leash for one hour. I keep the pack moving at a steady pace with small breaks for treats.

"Kira is amazing! Having been an Oakland Animal Services volunteer and dog walker/sitter for so many years; Kira is extremely experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments and personalities. Kira loves animals and they love her.

Kira has a very calming nature and is able to manage and control the pack like nothing I’ve ever seen. I never worry when my dogs are in Kira’s care because she is responsible, knowledgeable, dependable and I especially love that she is trained in CPR and First-Aid. She is a great dog walker and a great person.”

“What's the sign that you've found the perfect dogwalker? Your pooch races to the door when she hears the dogwalker coming -- and comes home from their adventures together and immediately needs a long nap. :)

Our cockapoo has been doing pack walks with Kira for almost a year, and it's been such a win/win for our family. Kira always puts the dogs' safety first -- but then her next focus is FUN! And it take just one quick skim of her Instagram account to see how much fun these lucky dogs have with her. This is not just a boring city pack walk with the dogs on a bunch of leashes. Kira takes her packs to wide open spaces (and water) so they safely can run free, chase each other, splash, frolic, and basically have the time of their lives.

And she's really accommodating when it comes to adding in additional walks when needed or overnight boarding. We're so glad that we found her -- she's a gem!”
