Dog Walkers in Academy Hill, MD

“Jake was amazing. He helped me out with little notice and was so kind and sweet to my dog Skye. He not only played and walked with her he took time just to sit and pet her. He is a gem and we will be calling him again!”

“Ashley was great! We were here in the area traveling in our RV visiting the DC area. We wanted someone to come walk and feed Rascal so we could spend a full day exploring downtown DC and the surrounding area. Ashley covered for us every day. Rascal is not used to spending long periods of time alone so Ashley was a blessing. She fed him and took him on a long walk every visit. We felt so good to know Rascal was being cared for by Ashley. She was also flexible with our schedule. We will call on her again if we return to the DC area which is very likely next year. Our daughter has a job offer in DC next year and we will likely visit and stay in this same area.”

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.

“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’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: 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 cared for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I love taking the time to understand each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I work early in the day and am available from 2–3 PM onward, depending on the day. I also work from home two days a week, which gives me extra flexibility. I’m a great option for anyone who needs their dog let out or cared for before they get home from work. All care is provided in your home, keeping your pet in a familiar and safe environment. I’m flexible and happy to follow your routine, whether that includes walks, feeding, crating, or extra attention and cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities.

“Great job as is Anna’s gosl!”

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 am the go to person in our neighborhood for all dog and cat sitting. I take great pride in that, as I know how exhausting and emotional it is to find someone who is trustworthy and dependable! Currently, I am helping out friends mid day as their work schedules are long. If you have found yourself in the same position, let me know. My late mornings and afternoons are free and I would love to help out! I was just laid off from my job of 5 years, so currently I have a fully open schedule. Let me know what you need and we can work something out! We live on a one acre lot with a pool that has a hard safety cover! We keep it closed unless we are swimming. If that worries you, please know my dog can’t swim so I take pool safety very seriously! With that said, they will have access to all the sunbathing and squirrel chasing that they could ever want. We are outside a lot!

About: I truly treat pets like they are people. I am always gentle and kind to all animals, and I make sure their needs are met. I am currently working part time in the evening, so I can watch, walk, feed pets in the early morning, mid day, and late evening. In my home I care for my dog by walking him and making sure he has a safe environment. He lives comfortably in our home. Our cats are house cats who have the luxury of a spacious home to roam.

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!

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: 15+ years of rescue work and fostering dogs/cats. Over 1000+ Fosters and boarders. Experience with all different ages, breeds, medical issues. Able to handle a large pack and individual needs I have flexible hours and can be there for all your pets needs on a case by case basis. I have a very structured routine. Safety is key, walking the property daily to ensure no escape routes and doing door/window checks to keep everyone safe. Keeping their routine as close to normal as possible is key to happy pets.

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: Hi friend! I am an animal lover through and through and, as a freelancer new to the Bay Area, I’d love to better utilize my flexibility by being a compassionate resource to those pups who need some extra love, attention, support, exercise or fresh air when you’re simply not as available as you wish you could be. I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther before he went to heaven. I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future. I look forward to meeting your pup, please do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions at all. ♥️
