Dog Walkers in Appolds, MD

About: Hello, my name is Danielle. I used work as a veterinary technician and I am looking to drop in pet sit and walk pets on my off time. I personally have 3 dogs and 4 cats so I am very much used to taking care of pets on a daily basis. I am also experienced in pet first aid and dog/cat CPR experienced. I can also watch small caged animals in my home. I have experience with some exotics and small 'pocket' pets. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thank you! In the mornings I make sure all of my pets are taken care of then after my kids are off to school I am available to come check in on your fur babies! I always make sure doors are shut and fences are secure for outside time. I always make sure leashes fit snuggly to reduce the risk of a leash slip.

“Matt is amazing with my little princess (really she is big). My dog has some anxieties around new things and going potty, he manages this really well. He is patient with my hound dog who will sniff anything and everything for hours, if allowed. I am very happy we found Matt and highly recommend him for pet care services!”

About: Hi! I’m Rebecca — a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by pets and farm animals since the day I was born. From dogs and cats to cows and chickens, caring for animals has always been a part of my everyday life. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, loved, and happy in my care. ❤️ What I Offer Whether it’s a relaxing neighborhood stroll, an energetic walk to burn off some zoomies, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I provide reliable, compassionate care. You can count on me to treat your pet like part of my family — because to me, that’s exactly what they are. I work full time Monday-Friday so I’m available for walks in the evenings during the week and all day on the weekends. I’m also exploring options with boarding at my house in the country with my 2 dogs-Lulu and Buddy! During our walks, I: Use secure leashes and harnesses to ensure safety at all times Keep a close eye on surroundings to avoid hazards or stressful encounters Provide a balanced mix of exercise, sniffing time, and positive attention Offer water breaks on warm days and adjust the pace based on your dog’s needs Give plenty of praise, reassurance, and affection to make every walk enjoyable When we return, I always make sure your dog is comfortable, has fresh water, and is settled before I leave. My goal is to make each walk something your dog looks forward to — safe, fun, and full of tail wags! 🐾

About: I have extensive experience (10+ years) caring for dogs and cats from puppy/kitten phase to elderly animals. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, and needs. I personally have a black lab puppy and an elderly collie-boxer mix, so I am used to varying energy levels, too! My prices are negotiable, so please reach out so we can discuss what works best for both of us ❤️ I am available during the day and at night to meet the needs of your animals. Once a schedule is set, I will follow it! I will treat your home as if it is my own- I will ensure it is in the same condition you left it in! I am comfortable with any feeding schedule/needs and will treat your animals with the same respect I would want my own animals treated!

“Samantha is awesome at taking care of Max. Max is not an easy dog to walk but Max let her walk him and gave her kisses. Even though we had issue with Rover regarding refund on a few missed walks (due to legit reasons), but Samantha has been responding to my messages right away and tried her best to help me. I will book Samantha again in the future.”

About: Are you looking for a loving, reliable, and trustworthy human for your pet? Growing up in a family that bred Golden Retrievers, caring for dogs (and the occasional cat!) became second nature. Over the years, my passion for animals only grew, and I eventually started my own breeding business. Through these experiences, I developed a deep understanding of animals and learned the importance of gentle, attentive care. I moved from California to Maryland, where I’ve shifted my focus entirely to helping pet owners by providing exceptional care. I would be thrilled to look after your furry family member. Hi there! I’m Brooke, a devoted pet lover with a flexible work-from-home schedule, allowing me to cater to your pet’s every need, whether for a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or a overnight stay. I aim to create a safe, welcoming, and relaxed environment where your pet feels completely at ease and cared for, as if they were with family. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m here to make that experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Whether your dog loves exploring new parks, trotting around the neighborhood, or curling up for snuggles, I tailor every visit to suit their preferences and routine. During overnight stays, I bring a sense of home to our time together—your pet gets all the attention, love, and comfort they’re used to.t this time I would only be open to dog walking or drop ins. I am highly confident I can give your pet and yourself a relaxing fun experience with a stress free environment. I absolutely love walking, and enjoy hiking in my free time. My approach is built on compassion, attentiveness, and a love for getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I want you to feel confident and relaxed, knowing that your furry family member is in gentle, caring hands.
