Dog Walkers in Appleton, MD

“My rescue dog can sometimes be hesitant to trust men but Mark knew just what to do to put her at ease. Mark was punctual and very pleasant and helpful. I will not hesitate to ask Mark to walk Leia again.”

“Marlee has come for 7 visits now to our geriatric poodle. She takes great care with our old dog and provides him a good walk (if he is willing) and gives him the needed attention. We are so happy she is able to take care of our Andy during the days we can’t. Thank you Marlee!”

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs and three years of hands-on training in animal science at TCHS, I provide expert care in walking, feeding, grooming, and administering medications. Currently, I apply these skills daily at a local kennel, ensuring every pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I currently work part-time at Vixen Hall Kennels. My schedule changes weekly, but I’m flexible with hours and can easily accommodate different times. I’m also willing to get up early or stay up late if needed to ensure your pets receive the best care at any time of day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain their pets' routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication. I’m committed to providing personalized care and always prioritize the well-being of each animal, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away.

About: Rescued my Staffordshire Terrier / Mastiff mix when she was almost four and worked with a trainer to have her become my service dog. I had an amazing seven years with her until a brain tumor forced us to say goodbye. I spent 2021-2022 volunteering weekly at a rescue handling puppies, walking them and helping socialize them. In 2022 I adopted a five month old Rottweiler/pitbull mix puppy from Kansas. He is high energy and tecently completed his Begining manners obedience class. I'm enjoying training him, and when the end of the day comes he is a joy to cuddle up on the couch with and watch some tv. When conducting g drop ins I pay attention to details like how much ffod/water ate in the bowl, consistency and color of bowel movements and any other factors that I think may effect the overall health and well-being of your furry family member. Of course there is always time allowed for pets, snuggles, and wet puppy kisses. As a boarder I only take one dog at a time. Our guest "furry friend"- your dog, will have they own guest crate in my room, which is an efficiency suite in my parents basement. Your dog will have my dog to play with, get plenty of cuddle time on the couch when I watch TV, and the guest crate is only 10 feet from my bed, so we are all together. We live on 2 unfenced acres, so there is a lot of fun yard to run around in and play with my dog in during the day. I am currently not working a traditional job. As a result my time is flexible and other than my commitment to a number a regulars I do drop ins for, my schedule is pretty flexible. I prefer caring for pets in their own home as this is where they are most comfortable. I'm the new unknown factor. As much as I can keep to their typical routine and environment the more at ease I feel your pet will be.

“I could tell from all the kisses and attention she gave Jenni when they came back from the walk that Ginger had a great time! I loved the pics during too. Thanks so much!”

“I was very happy with Megan. My buddy Dante the dog was very happy with Megan. She was always on time and very communicative. She helped Dante learn to walk on a leash. She would still be walking Dante if my situation had not changed.”

About: Want someone to hang out and keep your pets company while you’re gone? My full-time job is remote and if you have good Wi-Fi, I can work out of your home to keep your fur babies company for a longer period of time during the day. I’ve owned pets for over a decade, and I’ve been looking after them for much longer. I have raised my 2 Great Pyrenees from 8 weeks old, so I am comfortable with any age, size or breed. Large breed dogs have a special place in my heart. Since I own two of them and walk them together all the time, I’m very comfortable taking large dogs on walks or runs, and snuggling them. **the 60 min rate listed is for working from your home, can be added up to 8 hours on most week days. I work from home, so I can stop by to let puppies out midday depending on my day to day. I could also potentially work remote from your home (and keep your pets company) during the day if you have Wi-Fi. I am saving up for a wedding and just looking to make a little extra cash on the side. I treat all fur babies as I would my own, with love and respect. I’ve been hired by many pet owners over the years. Kindness and courtesy always.

About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.

“Kelli is wonderful. She came for an initial visit and our pup was at ease with her from the moment he met her. She is prompt and a great communicator. I would highly recommend Kelli.”

“Thank you!”

About: I've owned dogs and other pets my entire life. Whether it's going for walks or just making sure a friendly face is helping with day to day tasks, I am here to help. I look to be a new friend for every new fury family member. I am an artist for most of my day, but look to find the right opportunity to take care of special fury families within my area. I do not have a fenced in yard, so would be looking for right opportunities at home or walking services to meet the needs of families looking for pet care.

About: I have had three dogs for the past 4 years and I have lots of experience taking care of other people’s dogs. I have most experience with small and medium size dogs. I am currently a student working part time so I have a lot of time to take care your pet and give them the attention they need. I have three small dogs of my own and a backyard that the dogs are welcome to play in. I am willing to have animals at my house or go to your home and take care of them in yours.

About: I have a deep love for all furbabies! I do well with any size dogs or cats! I enjoy playing with animals of all kinds ! I'm currently a SAHM of one, in Christiana, De. I have a completely open and flexible schedule. Open to driving within 15 miles of location. I am now open to offer in house care for any dogs/cats up to 2 at a time. I have no animals of my own anymore, but my son is very animal friendly.

“Gonzalo was great walking our Francis for the first time. We are new to Rover, so we did not know what to expect. Gonzalo was attentive, communicative, efficient and respectful guiding us through our first walk. We’ll be using his services again moving forward.”

About: Ever since I was about 15 I have pet sat. I took every advantage I could and took care of all types of animals. From dogs and cats to ferrets and birds. I love all animals. I worked for a private company for 2 years and now run my own business and want to get out there more. I provide services such as walks, baths, snuggles, and overnight visits for all types of pets. I take pride in my services and want to give all animals the love and attention they deserve when their family is away from home! I'm a student who works part-time. I have loads of free time and want to spend it with your pets. I enjoy walking dogs around campus. It'll give me something to do when not studying. Most clients have specific preferences for their pets. I always ask what is needed from me to provide the best care. I stick to what is asked and make sure to ask questions when needed. I provide photos for the family at all visits and a brief update. My pets all get food specific to their dietary needs at home and get to snuggle with me in bed. If clients prefer crate home, I can do that. It's whatever you do for your pets that I will do for them, so they feel comfortable.
