At Dog About Town, we understand the special bond between dogs and their owners. As an Oakland off-leash dog walker, our mission is to provide a fun, safe, and social environment for your furry friend to thrive. Our team, led by owner and operator Aaron Uplinger, is dedicated to giving your dog the exercise, socialization, and love they need when you're away.
Our Story
Aaron's passion for dogs began at a young age, and he has always had a special kinship with them. After adopting Zoe, a pit bull from Rocket Dog Rescue, Aaron realized the importance of choosing a trustworthy and experienced dog walker. This experience inspired him to start Dog About Town, where he could provide the same level of care and attention to other dogs in the Oakland area.
