about us...

Hey, we’re Marvin and Hope - San Francisco locals residing in the beautiful city of Oakland now. We've both been dog lovers since we met when we were just 5 years old!

Our journey is fueled by a genuine love for dogs and a dedication to ensuring their happiness and well-being. Whether we’re exploring Oakland's neighborhoods or hitting the trails for an outdoor adventure, we're always excited to share the joy of dog walking with our furry clients.

what our clients say about us...

I can’t recommend Hope & Marvin’s dog walking and hiking service enough! Whenever I’m away on business, I have complete peace of mind knowing that my Cody is in the best hands possible. Not only do her and Marvin provide regular long walks, but they also take Cody on exciting hikes! Cody gets plenty of socialization, exercise, and fresh air. Every photo update Cody is all smiles!

Let me just say I cannot recommend Hope & Marvin enough! I can always rely on them to take care of my 6 year old Beagle. They have been doing hikes & check ins regularly since Luna was just a puppy! Luna always comes back tired & happy from their cool adventures. I also can really trust Hope & Marvin to love and care for my doggie. Luna literally gets excited everytime she sees them. They send the best photos updates & are super reliable! Plus, they know how to handle our crazy beagle. For sure, the best doggie team in the Bay.

I have a high energy 2 year old pup who needs A LOT of exercise. Hope & Marvin have come in clutch for those days I'm at work all day. Rue ALWAYS comes back exhausted from all his fun on their off leash adventures. They're also amazing with their knowledge of dog behavior. Rue can be scared of men at first, and Marvin was super mellow and gentle with Rue until he was able to gain his trust.
