Dog Walking in Annapolis

About: Hi, my name is Alyssa! I absolutely adore dogs, I’m that person that stops everyone with a dog to ask if I can pet him/her. I have grown up with dogs and now have my own, so I have plenty experience with them. I can do over night stays. I have never had any trouble with the dogs I have cared for! I look forward to helping you and your furry friend with whatever you may need me for. I cannot wait to play with them, get to know them well, and love them as they deserve! I am a teacher so I work about 8 hours a day during the week. My most flexible time are the weekends where I am available most of the days. I care for other’s pets as if they were my own. I offer my clients to give me a list to follow to make them more comfortable and I send them daily updates and pictures.

“Bailey was on time, and from looking at the pictures, Johnny took to her and enjoyed a nice walk. It was a relief finding someone who loves animals and that the dog seemed to love right back. I will definitely be using her from now on!”

“Laura was great! I made a mistake on the booking date, and she was kind enough to still go by and make sure my babies were taken care of despite my mistake. I will absolutely be working with her again. Highly recommend.”

About: HI, I'm an active, animal-loving mom of 2 grown boys with 12 years experience of caring for my own rambunctious dog, who passed away last year. I also love to walk! What a great opportunity to combine 2 loves :) I will treat your dog with the utmost care and follow your specific instructions to keep their routine. I will be sure to give them all the attention they want! I am responsible & reliable and can't wait to meet your pup! I have flexibility from 8am-5pm Monday through Friday and can walk your dog 1-4 times per day. Depending on the weekend, I may have some availability in the mornings then as well. Same applies to dog/cat drop-in visits. Currently I’m only dog-walking and doing pet check-ins. When I'm in your home, I will be very respectful of your space. I will also treat your pets as if they were my own and will be sure to keep them safe & happy. Please ensure your pet has up to date vaccinations-thank you!

“Thank you Elizabeth for taking great care of both dogs for us! We appreciate Elizabeth being patient as one of our dogs was hiding, afraid in a closet and she helped to get him out and comfortable on a walk.”

About: My pets have always been my children! I’ve had my own pets for 25 years as well as family pets growing up. I also enjoy light puppy/dog training. My schedule is very flexible as I am an entrepreneur. I may also be able to accommodate rush requests so please feel free to reach out! I’m available to feed, provide medication, walk your pet, or let them out to the yard for play and potty break. Your pet will always be leashed while outside of your home/ fenced yard.

“Thomas is more than a terrific dog walker; he is amazing. He has patience with our 14 1/2 yo lab. He treats her like she is the only dog in the world. Scuppers looks forward to Thomas's visits!”

“Darragh did an excellent job this weekend with my two large dogs! He was able to schedule us on short notice, followed the care instructions and walked with the dogs a ton so they were very well exercised this weekend. I will definitely be rebooking with him!!”

About: New Rover customers; don’t forget to ask for my promo code to receive 20% off your first booking! Loving Pet Care from an Experienced Pet Parent: As a dedicated pet parent, I bring a wealth of personal experience in caring for my own pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My approach to puppy care is rooted in the same compassion and dedication I have always shown to my furry family members. From understanding their unique needs and preferences to providing a safe and nurturing environment, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's playtime, feeding, or simply offering a comforting presence, I am committed to making sure your pet feels at home and well-cared for in your absence. Working part-time from home allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. Although I don't have any pets now with me, throughout my life I took regular breaks to check on them, provide meals, and engage in short play sessions. In the afternoon, I used to schedule a longer walk or playtime, and I dedicated time to more extended activities like training sessions, grooming, or simply spending quality time with the pets. This balance ensured my pets received consistent attention and care, making them feel secure and loved, while also enhancing my own well-being. 🐾 When cared for pets in my home, I ensured they had a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment, with plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I followed their specific routines, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special needs they may have. My goal is to create a stress-free and loving experience for every pet. 🐾

About: I’ve taken care of pets for about a decade now, from raising my own little dog, to taking care of senior dogs of my neighbors. Ever since I was a baby I have been surrounded by pets, my deceased senior dog Dune and senior cat Buddy. I personally raised my 11 year old retriever Thor ever since he has been introduced to the family and I enjoy every single day when I wake up to play with him. I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs for months before and each day I would play, stay, and walk them. I enjoy spending time with ALL pets. My main purpose is to always make sure the pets are comfortable, happy, and safe above all else. I am currently free for the rest of the summer, so I have more time to play with your dogs! Can sit most days throughout the week, can do mornings and nights and afternoons. In my home I have a very friendly and respectful dog Thor if the dog is in my house, he will not be bored and will feel safe. In my house thee is an area where typically the dogs reside. I have a backyard and front yard where they will play (my neighborhood is very pet friendly and safe). At clients house, I would make sure everything is clean and orderly and take note on where the dog is and isn’t allowed to be in the house.

“Dejah was incredible. Very communicative and sweet to our pup. Our dog loved her so much, I will definitely book her again!”

“We are first time dog owners and Amber was our first walker through Rover. We are so grateful for such a great experience. Amber writes detailed and delightful Walk cards and it put us at ease, especially since we know our pup can get anxious on walks with loud noises. She is incredibly patient and we’re so happy we could relax and know our pup was safe and happy.”

“Carolyn did a wonderful job caring for my Labradoodle, Bernadoodle and 4 cats over the weekend! She was extremely kind, professional and did a very thorough job receiving the care instructions during the meet-and-greet. She did a great job handling all pet care tasks including administering medication to my Labradoodle. Both of my dogs weigh over 70lbs, and Carolyn is clearly capable of working with large dog breeds. She was extremely communicative and left very detailed notes for each visit. Upon my return, it was clear that the fuzzy herd was extremely happy and well taken care of. Carolyn went above and beyond to care for my pets like they were her own and I will absolutely be booking her for future pet sitting and dog walking. Highly, highly recommended from a pet parent of 6 rescues!”

About: Passionate Pet Lover, J.D. graduate 2024, recent member of the Maryland Bar Association, and Active Runner. Experienced with Dogs, Cats, and Horses. Let me keep your furry friends entertained with fun walks and loving care! As a 2024 Law School graduate, I am currently at my family home in the DC/Annapolis area on a judicial clerkship! I enjoy refreshing walks with my family dogs, whether one at a time or all together – each walk brings a unique adventure! Likewise, nothing feels better than relaxing with my affectionate cats beside me on the couch. I'm drawn to Rover because it provides mutual benefits: I get the joy of spending time with a furry companion while offering a helping hand to pet owners. When it comes to taking care of pets in my home or clients' homes, I go all out to ensure they have a blast while feeling cozy, content, and safe! In my furry family, I've got two fantastic dogs: one who needs extra cuddles during thunderstorms and fireworks, and another who lives for games of fetch. We embark on individual walks for quality bonding time, and we also embark on exciting group adventures with the two! At my family’s home, our two charming cats get the royal treatment with morning and nighttime in-and-out privileges, delicious meals served twice a day, and a never-ending supply of fresh water. When watching your pet, I’ll be sure to communicate updates, send photos, and ALWAYS leave your space better than I found it.

“Megan was amazing, punctual and a true dog lover. She walked my dog twice a day for a week when I couldn't walk him myself. She sent great pictures of my buddy every time she took him out and he looked blissful in most of them.”

“excellent experience! reliable and punctual”

“Sarah really helped me out, again. Work made it difficult to spend time with my dog for a few days. She took her time with him and kept him active during her visits to make him feel happy in my absence.”

About: I’ve grown up with rescue dogs my whole life and currently have a 3-year-old rescue named Wally. I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your pets. I love taking dogs for long walks (get both of our steps in!) and making sure they get the attention and care they need while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick stroll or some extra belly rubs, I’m here for all the walks, wags, and pets! I currently work remote from home so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available for long and short walks and belly rubs while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old rescue hound mix that loves friends to run around with. I love long walks with the pups around Annapolis taking in the scenic views.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life! You’d know me as the girl that asks to pet every dog she passes and hangs out with the cat at the house party. I’ve raised two dogs of my own and have cared for many cats over the years! I’m well versed in puppy care, senior care and administering medications. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs your pets have! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule, so I’m available for early to late afternoon drop in visits while you are away on vacation or at work! Please let me know how I can best for your pet in your home. For dogs - I am well versed in crate training, using a long leash for outdoor play if you don’t have a fenced in yard, or just playing a game of tug or fetch if you do have a fence! For cats - I will adhere to all your rules about keeping them in a separate space (in a room or using gates) or making sure their exit point is clear if they are indoor/outdoor cats!

“Lynn was prompt in her communications in setting up our meet and greet. She was on time and very friendly. She asked a lot of great questions and made my Mom feel comfortable with a process she is getting comfortable with.”
