Dog Walking Adelphi

About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I believe in clear communication, punctuality, and following your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is to earn your trust by providing consistent, compassionate care every time! Providing attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs companionship, walks, playtime, potty breaks, meals, or medication, I can easily incorporate their routine into my daily schedule and have in house help to accommodate to your pet as well, even when I’m personally not able to. I also know plenty pet-friendly locations, making it easy to keep active pets engaged while ensuring they receive plenty of attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Fully fenced backyard that provides a secure space for dogs to run, play, and explore. Inside offers a calm, clean, and cozy environment where pets can relax and feel at home. Cats also have plenty of comfortable indoor spaces, including a bright sunroom that’s perfect for lounging or birdwatching. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions and routines to ensure a safe and stress-free experience.

“Gio was an excellent dog walker. She helped me when my current dog walker could not continue walking buddy. She reported all the details of the visit efficiently and gave us peace of mind. She was informative and responsible. This was my first time using rover and I had a great experience thanks to Gio. She has a true love for dogs and what she does. I will definitely work with her in the future.”

About: I've worked extensively as a caretaker at a dog daycare center, where I've cared for dogs with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and play styles every day. Whether your dog is super energetic, anxious, older, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m more than comfortable adapting to their needs. I’ve also worked as a farmhand, helping feed and care for animals like chickens and other livestock. I’ve also been around animals my whole life and currently care for a cat, an elderly black lab, and a young hound puppy. I’m a college student hoping to earn extra cash doing something I genuinely love! I treat every animal like one of my best friends and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Weekends are usually totally open at any time! Monday: 8–9:40 AM, 11 AM–12:10 PM, or after 4:10 PM Tuesday: 8–10:40 AM or after 3:35 PM Wednesday: 8 AM–12:10 PM, 1:45–2:40 PM, or after 4:10 PM Thursday: 8–10:40 AM or after 3:35 PM Friday: 8–11:40 AM, 1:10–2:40 PM, or after 4:10 PM With dogs, I’m very patient and comfortable with all personalities, including high-energy, excitable, or anxious dogs. I focus on calm and respectful handling and try to help very anxious dogs feel safe by giving them space, approaching slowly, and using gentle reassurance like calm voice and light petting on their side when appropriate, making sure to avoid direct eye contact when meeting them for the first time (dog code for "I'm chill"). I pay attention to body language and always aim to build trust rather than pressure them into an interaction. If a dog is acting out, I redirect their attention and follow any training or behavior instructions provided by the owner. With cats, I’m used to reading their behavior and giving them the space or attention they want. I understand that many cats are super independent and are protective about their space, but I also enjoy working with affectionate, social cats. I have experience caring for kittens, including feeding and basic hands-on care, as well as senior cats who may need routine medication or any extra attention.

“Grace was great with our energetic puppy Darcy. He was anxious to meet someone new, but she calmed him down with treats and pets. She was very communicative and arrived right on time. Would definitely recommend her as a dog walker!”

“Jane was great! I could tell from how relaxed my little boy was when I got home each day that he felt really comfortable with her. Her walks were always on time, she sent photos and responded to questions I had about my dog’s health. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I love pets! I have experience house/dog sitting for clients that have taken vacations of up to 15 days. While house sitting, I can also bring in mail and water plants. In the past, I have been able to watch up to 2 dogs at a time. I love the exercise that comes from walking dogs, and I welcome dogs that have both high and low energy levels. When given specific instructions about caring for someone's dog, I always follow them, never letting my previous experience and "what I usually do" come before meeting the expectations of my clients. I have lived with at least one dog as a pet for 18 years of my life. Let me take care of your dog and be an extension of your love towards them when you cannot be there. I have graduate school classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but I am free for pet care outside of those hours. I am flexible to work around your schedule. I’ve house sat and taken care of cats and dogs while I’ve lived in the house. I’ve also stopped by house periodically to walk dogs and feed them. I’m open to both methods.

About: What sets me apart is my endless patience and keen attention to detail—I treat every pet like they're my own. When I'm not spoiling my own kitties, you'll find me behind the camera, snapping cat photos to help them find their forever homes. Rest assured, I'll share the best update pictures of your fur babies while you're away. I work full-time but am mostly home-based, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care for your pets throughout the day. Whether it's drop-ins, walking, or just taking a break to give your furry friend some love, I'm here to ensure they're happy and comfortable. Available on weekdays and weekends! Drop-In Visits / House Sitting: When visiting your home, I’ll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, take them out for a walk or let them out for a bathroom break, and spend quality time playing or cuddling with them. I treat your home with care and your pet like family.

About: I am an avid dog lover. I take care of dogs in my neighborhood - from Chihuahua size to 100 pounds or more. We enjoy long walks and meeting new pup friends! I even include baths if necessary. For some reason, my account won’t let me remove House Sitting - I have a dog of my own. Unless our dogs are introduced and get along, I cannot do overnights. However, I can do multiple let outs - including late at night and early in the morning. Cats are also lovely creatures and although they may not need walking, they get their share of love, too! All pets welcome with me! I have reliable transportation. I’m 31 years old with a college degree and a full time job. I don’t smoke and can walk more than one dog at a time. I can promise that your animals and I will get along great! Please contact me if you have any further questions! I am always available. Thank you! I work full time in the southern Maryland area, however I have break times and morning/evening availability! I’m not opposed to travel and multiple let outs. I can care for your pets at your home or mine! I do not have a fenced backyard, but I do multiple walks every single day.
