“Grace was wonderful! She is kind and responsible. She treated Bella as if she was her own dog. She went and stayed with Bella during the storm so Bella wouldn’t be afraid. So glad we found her! We will definitely rebook with Grace!”
“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.”
“Charles is A++++! He was great with our dog who took to him immediately! He was also very thoughtful in his questions to better understand our dogs needs, likes and dislikes. We've re-booked with him again and will continue to do so. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up primarily caring for and riding horses which has remained my life until now. I live on a farm with my 2 horses, 2 barn cats, and 3 dogs - Sawyer, a 9 year old Siberian husky, Teagan, a 5 year old Australian Shepherd/Basenji mix, and Dozer, a 2 year old pittie. All were privately rescued from their own unfortunate situation, but landed them safe safely here with me through the end of their journeys - as all my previous rescues have been fortunate enough to experience. I take my relationships to animals, very seriously, balancing a level of compassionate empathy that allows me to be president enough to tune in to their energy and emotions, with a knowledgeable and experience mindset with the ability to read body language and observe social dynamics allowing me to always be proactive and advocate for an individual animals needs. This ensures a superior level of safety, as well as promotes overall well-being under my care. I have a seasoned an extensive background in animal welfare with a focus on rescuing and fostering Siberian Huskies & other northern breeds. I successfully ran a small dog walking and pet sitting business for the Anne Arundel County area from 2013 thru 2017. I’m grateful to be back & offering my services full time with a focus on daily dog walking. I am educated & experienced with dogs, cats, horses, exotic, reptiles & livestock of all breeds & sizes having worked & learned from alongside various animal professionals, trainers & behaviorists, welfare leaders, & veterinarians. I’ve worked in 40+ horse stables to 50+ dog boarding facilities & cared for many animals from mixed livestock farms to backyard homesteads to large exotic pet set-ups. I am also certified in Animal Reiki Healing. I look forward to loving your pets almost as well as you! 😉 I am very attentive to your pets needs, whether it be in a fenced yard or on leash, I engage with them in play & offer individualized attention making sure they are happy & well taken care of. You’ll receive updates with photos during &/or after their care is complete! Not a single pet will be neglected on my watch! We will coordinate a schedule that mimics your pet’s current routine as closely as possible I do not allow your dogs to greet strangers or other dogs, whether they may know them or not. I offer plenty of space when walking them, do not allow them off leash or take them to public dog parks. I do carry pepper spray in the rare occasion an off leash dog is aggressive. (This has happened unfortunately, but I feel safer being prepared than not).
About: I truly adore cats and their unique personalities. I'm a retired empty nester, who is flexible, attentive, patient, affectionate, and I believe great cat care includes a fresh, spotless litter box every day. Your cat will get plenty of love, attention, and a comfortable environment giving you a peace of mind while you're away. Being retired gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pets, providing attentive, dependable care without rushing or juggling another job. Whether in my home or yours, I follow each pet's normal routine, providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh water, clean spaces, play time and personalized care.

“Mark did a fantastic job with our new dog Teddy! We are long-time dog owners as is Mark, and his years of experience and bed-side manner was certainly evident and provided great peace of mind while we were away from our new pup. We will be relying on Mark in the future and strongly recommend him to others!”
“Owen is reliable, kind and trustworthy. He shows up, gives my dog a good walk regardless of the weather, and responds quickly. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a walker.”
“Highly recommend Ryan! He took the time to do a meet and greet and really understand my dog’s specific needs. He was very communicative and flexible whenever any changes came up, which I truly appreciated. What stood out most was how he followed my dog’s training routines and even used the exact phrases we’ve been working on. He handled my dog’s reactivity with care and confidence, and it made a huge difference. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands!”
“Stacie was able to come on short notice to walk Riley. She was responsive, professional and I could tell loved meeting Riley! I’ll definitely be using Stacie again in the future!”
About: I have grown up with dogs in my family almost my entire life. I also dog sat growing up and still do to this day for family and friends. This included puppies under the age of 1 (frequent potty breaks and crate training), as well as senior dogs who required special care and assistance. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and would love to keep your fur babies company while you’re out of town! I am fortunate enough to have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to make your pets the number one priority while in my care. I have flexible work hours that allows me to spend time in the morning, afternoons and evenings with your animals. I can leave my office during the day with no problems. I am able to work from home when need be. This flexibility allows me to regularly check in on them, support their feeding routine and promptly address any health issues if they arise. When caring for pets in your home, I treat them as if they were my own. I prioritize their comfort and well-being by following their usual routines, providing plenty of playtime, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I maintain a clean and safe environment, taking extra care with feeding, grooming, and any special needs they may have, such as administering medications. My goal is to keep your pets happy and stress-free until you return.
About: I have been around animals my entire life! Growing up my family had dogs, chickens, cats. Currently we have 2 beagles and a black cat named Izzy! My other family members began asking me to watch their animals when they went away on trips or to stop by the house if they were stuck at work. This branched to them recommending me to their friends and now here we are! I have been watching the furry loved ones of others for about 4-5 years now and have loved every second of it. I know how scary it can be to leave behind the animals that you consider your children so I am here to make that process a little easier! I’ve taken care of puppies, dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, and horses. All animals deserved to be spoiled and loved by all 💛 I am currently a therapist that works mostly afternoon/evening hours. My daytime availability ranges day to day but getting to create my own schedule allows for flexibility! Owners know their pets best! Any information provided to me about your furry friend will be implemented so that all parties feel safe and well cared for!
“Jessica has been wonderful! I needed help on short notice for my energetic Staffy/Lab mix while I worked overnight shifts, and she exceeded my expectations. She was great with my dog from the very first meet and greet, and clearly has experience handling larger, high-energy dogs. She provided a full 30 minute walk, updates with photos, notes about the visit, and even tracked potty breaks and checked her water. Knowing my dog was getting exercise and attention in the middle of my 12 hour shift made a huge difference and greatly reduced my stress. Jessica has been reliable, professional, communicative, and caring. My dog absolutely loves her, and I feel completely comfortable having her care for my pet. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker!”

I can’t say enough good things about Liza! She truly goes above and beyond and genuinely cares about the pets and people she works with. She’s been incredibly kind, thoughtful, and compassionate from the very beginning. She’s reliable, communicative, and always on time. She sends lots of pictures and updates, and even takes extra time to play with Chance. It’s clear she genuinely cares about him, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands while I’m at work. I’m so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
