Dog Walkers in Appleton Acres, MD

“Marlee was so caring for my two dogs! She was more than helpful taking my dogs for walks and playing with them. She's super friendly and you can totally see right when you meet her, that she 100% cares about your pet.”

“Jenni had contacted me to let me know that she was on her way for our dogs’ walk. She took pics of them to show us that she was at our home with the dogs. I had told her about the route the dogs were use to taking and she showed us the map of the route. The dogs were good for her out on the walk. When they got home they were well tired enough and curled up for a nap. I look forward to having Jenni come walk them again!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.

“I contacted Erikah, last minute, to walk my mom's energetic Golden Retriever. She responded within two hours and adjusted her plans to walk the dog the same day! My mom raved about her approach--super friendly--as well as how well she handled Beamer. He jumped all over her when she arrived, but she stayed cool, calmed him down and got to the walk. She walked him for the full hour and actually wore him down. Absolutely A+”

“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: I’ve always had a soft spot for senior dogs and pets that need a little extra patience, attention, or understanding. I’ve participated in shelter skip days at the SPCA, and I’m almost always drawn to the older dogs. That’s just where my heart is. I genuinely enjoy taking things at their pace, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also a huge cat person. Whether your cat is social and playful or more reserved and independent, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel relaxed while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, and I try to be the kind of sitter I’d want for my own animals, responsive, dependable, calm, and genuinely caring. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, medication routines, companionship, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. Pet care is the perfect fit for my current life schedule. I took early retirement from my day job just so I could provide pet services. It’s way less stressful and more rewarding. I can provide overnight care for a dog in my home as well as provide drip in visits and walks. I can do extended drip in visits for cats so they have a chance to get to know me.

“Very helpful with my last minute booking!”

“Cookie seemed really happy and content when Dawn got home. Cassandra didn't a great job. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends’ dogs throughout the past few years. I provided whatever they needed whether that was feeding, walking, or playing. I’m currently working a part time restaurant job that never ends later than 10:30 pm. So I will have plenty of time to take care of pets overnight and during the day. I provide reliable, attentive care in my client’s homes by following routines, offering playtime and affection, administering medications as needed, and keeping owners updated regularly.

“Max took great care of my pup! He’s not easy to walk and she was willing to meet me before our first booking and listen to all my instruction. Thanks!”

Maxine T.

“Christine does a phenomenal job caring for our puppy while we are at work. She responds immediately, takes a bunch of pics for us, and always ensures he is comfortable before leaving. Christine always makes sure to meet our specific needs and is very attentive with Arlo. We are so thankful to have such a reliable and kind person to assist us when needed.”

Kourtney R.

“Absolutely wonderful!”

About: I have been a consistent volunteer with multiple shelters and a pet sitter over the past 4 years taking care of animals of different backgrounds. I'm currently preparing to leave for college and have a lot of time to spend with your dogs throughout the summer (weekends and weekdays available)! I can provide leashes (slip lead and clip), doggy bags, and a travel water bowl (all if needed) in order to provide your dog with the best and safest experience possible.

About: I’ve always been good with animals. My family has been raising dogs since I was a little kid and I really love all our pets. I work part time, usually in the afternoons/night. This would be something good for me to do during the day to keep working and staying busy. I have been walking my dogs and taking care of them since I was 9. I’ve always been responsible for cleaning up after them and keeping them safe. I’d do the same for any dog I’d walk or let out.

About: I’ve had pets all my life. I love all animals especially cats and dogs. I have trained my dog, Benji, who I’ve had for 6 years! I would love to have your pet! I’m a self employed makeup artist so my schedule is pretty open during the week mostly! I work from home and we are very flexible I have a big fenced yard. Only one male neutered dog who gets along with most dogs. I love to play and pet the dogs often and then love to sit with me and watch favorite movie!

About: As dog owners, we understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. We have two dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. We know that pets are family, and we strive to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾 I currently work in HVAC but there are 1-2 days a week I typically have off so on those days I would have a good amount of availability. Also have weekend availability and holiday. I don’t plan on transporting or bringing dogs to my house but I can do any care plan you would like at your house.

About: Hi, I’m Beth and I have been sitting professionally since 2012. I also have experience as fostering for a shelter dog. I am a homeschooling parent of two kids ages 7 and 10 (also animal lovers!) so I am home all day and your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I promise to give your dog lots of individual attention! I am comfortable with administering medication or dogs that have special needs, including experience with blind/deaf animals and dogs with paralysis. I’d be happy to complete whatever daily activities your dog is used to such as walks at specific times, grooming, etc. If your dog will need something in particular, just ask! For high energy and adventurous doggos, I absolutely love hiking and running with dogs, so if this is something your dog would enjoy please let me know! I pride myself on being dependable and trustworthy. I’m flexible and here to help - if you and your pet need something, just ask, and we can work out a schedule and pricing that fits your needs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions; I look forward to providing companionship and care for your dog! Why I love dog sitting: I grew up with dogs, cats, and all manner of small animals. I currently have a rescue kitty with special health needs of her own. I have had several dogs in my life; all different and all truly loved. I also fostered a stray dog for ACCT in Philadelphia from January-April 2015. I love caring for and helping animals lead happy lives. I’d love to provide the same kind of loving family experience for your dog while you're away. Meet my pets I share my home with a very elderly but very happy kitty named Lucy. She is getting up there in years, but very used to dogs. She grew up around my dog that I unfortunately lost in 2022 and they were great friends. We also have two gerbils named Snowball and Oatmeal. About our yard We have a good sized fenced backyard, but I would never leave your dog out there by him or herself since it is an unfamiliar area. I would much rather go out with your dog when he/she needs to! My experience administering medication: I am very comfortable administering all sorts of medication, as long as I am provided with the instructions for correct administration. I have experience sitting for dogs with needed medications and special needs/physical limitations, including blind and paralyzed dogs. Basically, I want both you and your dog to feel totally comfortable during his or her stay. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. I homeschool my kids so I’m home most of the time. We usually wrap up school by lunchtime so that leaves plenty of the day for lots of doggie walks and playtime! I have a large fenced backyard and my furniture is pet friendly. My kids are comfortable around dogs and can either be high energy playmates or quiet and respectful of dogs that might be more shy and low key.
