Dog Walkers in Academy Hill, MD

“Great communication!”

Jake G.

“Was searching for a walker very last minute and I could not have been luckier to have been able to get Jake to care for my dog! I felt so secure and comfortable with him in his care and he was so responsive and kind, and I will surely be looking him up well in advance of my next trip so I have a good chance of being able to have him walk my little guy again! Thank you so very much, Jake!!!”

“As always, Bacon loves her visits with Ashley and is a happier dog on those days. And Ashley's consistent use of my pup's commands ensured she keeps up her skills. Thank you!!”

“Linda is fantastic! I can tell she really cares about the animals she looks after. Sanuk loves his morning walks with her. And I love getting the little notes about his morning and the pictures.”

Kristin D.

“Amy (and her beautiful family) did such a wonderful job with our fur babies while we were out of town. She kept us informed on their daily activities, fed them, walked them and sent us plenty of pictures. You can tell Amy genuinely cares. We would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and responsible dog walker.”

About: I am a stay at home mom to 2 girls, ages 4 and 5 and we recently moved to the area! My husband is in the Navy. We live in a townhouse in North Beach, MD. I have a cat that can be timid with new animals, and tends to hide until he feels more comfortable. I would love to help out with your furry family members! I hate when I have to be away from mine so I would give them tons of love so they feel comfortable and at home while you are away. I am available for all needs except for pet sitting in your home, since I have kiddos that need me at my home. Please let me know if I can help you out in any way! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. I am with my girls a lot this summer but they would LOVE to accompany me on visits with your pet! I will have a lot more independent time this fall once they start school. We do not have a fenced in yard but I would be happy to do as many walks as needed for your pup! Our cat can be weary with new animals but he hides and then warms up quickly.

About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.

About: I've helped raise puppies. I've had a dog of my own my whole life. Friends leave their pups with me while they go away, or when they need help potty or crate training. I cannot currently watch pets in my home but I can care for your pet in the comfort of your home. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate taking care of your pet(s) as needed around my own day to day responsibilities. I will take care of your pet as you regularly do. Are they crated while you're away? They'll be crated if I'm not there. Or do they only feel safe in certain rooms or need a "safety toy"? I'm make sure they have what they need to be as calm and happy as can be while you're away.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs for a long time taking them on walks, feeding them, checking their health, and including enrichment for them. I am cured working somewhere part time however if you let me know in advance I can change or edit my schedule depending on the week. I have a fenced yard in my home where I watch my dog carefully. When I take my dog on a walk I am very cautious of our surroundings including other dogs, people, cars, etc.

About: I've been around animals all my life, and care for every single one that comes across my path. I have 4 animals so far that are living healthy and happy, and regularly babysit my neighbor's animals for weeks at a time. I wake up every day to my cat, and I want to extend that love to more animals who need that care when their owners are a little busy! It comes as a second nature to me, and I think about how my animals might be impacted by the actions I make, for example: I can never leave drinks on the counter anymore because my cat learned she likes coffee. Not anymore of course! I respect boundaries of animals and owners alike, whether that be physical such as a room not to enter or mental such as a certain word that an animal doesn't like to hear. If I am provided with rules I will follow them like a mantra.

About: Kind, patient caretaker with a psych degree and years of dog experience. Comfortable with all ages, breeds, and energy levels as well. Loving chocolate lab mom! My schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Weekends and weekdays are both open- I'll work around your pet's need! Your pet's safety and comfort come first. I respect your home, follow all routines, and create a calm, loving environment. Trust and care you can count on in your home

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, since I can remember. I have potty trained puppies and taught them tricks. I have experience with senior dogs and special needs as well. I also used to have a hamster, a rat, and hedgehog. Currently I own one dog and a saltwater fish tank. I have plenty of experience with cats as well. I’m pretty much a sucker for any animal. They all have my heart. I typically have plenty of time to care for your pet and I’m usually always available. I also have open availability on weekends and holidays as well. My schedule is flexible. I treat all animals as if they are my own. I will do what it takes to make sure that your pet is comfortable and enjoy their time that I care for them:)

About: Hi, I’m David — a dedicated animal lover with a calm, confident energy that pets naturally vibe with. Whether it’s a long walk, a play session, or some relaxing downtime, I meet every pet’s needs with care, patience, and a genuine connection. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from energetic puppies to senior snugglers, and I treat every animal like my own. You’ll get consistent updates, great photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Currently I am working remotely so I am with the dogs all day. Dogs receive potty breaks as needed, and frequent exercise, as well as time to just relax! Dogs have constant access to water, and treats if allowed by owner. All dogs receive their own space for downtime. I have dealt with many reactive and aggressive pets as well.

About: I have been told that I am very patient when it comes to pets. I let them come to me and if they don’t want to I don’t force them. I am very careful to make sure the pets are happy and can get to know and love any pet. My life can fluctuate from busy to free depending on the time of year, but I always make time for my pets. It makes me happy to see them and take care of them on a daily and weekly basis. To care for pets, I make sure that they are ok and give them food and water first. Then I give them all the attention they need and make sure they are happy. I don’t just check in and leave, I like to spend time with them so they aren’t lonely.

About: I’ve had 5 dogs as pets (3 currently) and have experience in dog-sitting, dog-walking, and dog-watching. I’ve raised puppies and have an older dog as well, so I am prepared to handle different age ranges. If there are any special requests or specific demands, I am more than able to comply for the well-being of your pet. I am currently a college student, so pet care during the semester is difficult and would have to be during the evening hours of the weekdays and weekends. However, during the summer and over winter break, I am available throughout the day all week. At home, my dogs have different requirements. Our Golden Retriever is an anxious dog who can have erratic behavior, requires at least hour of activity daily, and needs to be crated. Our beagle is 14 years old and needs to be taken out frequently, take meds on a schedule, and have someone near her at all times. Our last dog, a pompapoo, needs exercise multiple times a day, baths weekly with brushing, and stays out. As for past clients, I’ve had to feed their dogs, walk them, clean up after their accidents (whenever they occurred), and spend a few hours with them for enrichment and social time.

About: I have had pets, dogs and cats both, my whole life. I have cared for my own pets since I was 13 and I currently have two loving dogs that stay with me in my home. I love all animals. I hope to be able to help families that need pet care because it will allow the pets to get the most out of their day even when the owners can’t be home. If your pet is friendly and up to date on shots and you would like in home pet care, but your pet needs socialization with other pets, I could bring my dog(s) to play with your pet to help with their socialization. It would give all the pets some socialization. I do ask that all animals be up to date on shots with records available to ensure everyone’s safety. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or would like any further information!

About: I love working with dogs! Ive worked in many different areas with dogs, I want people to feel safe and they’re furry friends to feel safe as well! I’m currently in college with a good amount of free time! I don’t have a set schedule as I do school online. So I’ll be able to work with your needs for your pet(s) I’ve worked with many different dogs over the years and I believe I am capable of following whatever measures to keep your dog safe and well cared for!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my energy as a young college student who truly enjoys spending time with them. I have a soft spot for both playful puppies and sweet senior pets, and I’m patient, attentive, and gentle with every animal I care for. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits or making sure an older dog is comfortable on slow walks, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work in the evenings from 4–7 PM, so I have plenty of free time during the mornings and early afternoons to give pets the attention, exercise, and playtime they need. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle session, or feeding time, I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, play, and any special instructions. I keep the environment clean, safe, and calm, and I always give pets plenty of love and attention so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a cozy, pet-friendly space with room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I treat every pet like family and make sure their physical and emotional needs are met every day.
