Dog Walking Arcadia

“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.”

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!

About: Hi there! I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and am so excited to get to know your pet! Currently I own three cats, however, growing up I have always had dogs (both big and small) and I continue to occasionally dog sit my moms pup Kiwi. For the past 12 years I’ve pet sat for family, friends and friends of friends. Through my time pet sitting I’ve gained experience with dogs of all energy levels and ages, including puppies and seniors. I also have no problem administering medications. My passion for animals has led me to a career in pet retail management for the last 6 years, which has allowed me to become familiar with dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. Additionally I’ve become very comfortable with the handling and care of many other types of pets including reptiles, small animals, birds and aquatic life. Along with my cats, I also own 2 birds and a leopard gecko (: I am focusing 100% of my time into pet sitting and care, so I’ll be available for your pets needs 24/7! I am very flexible, so don’t hesitate to reach out for a last minute booking! I’m so happy you’ve trusted me to take care of your pets! To build that trust I like to make sure there is clear communication on expectations prior to visits. I am open to doing whatever you’d like during my time with your pet including but not limited to walks, hikes, playtime, brushing, snuggles or just lounging around.

About: I have experience working at Huffard Animal Hospital where I was responsible for administering medications, feeding, walking, bathing, and brief grooming during their stay. I have also cared for many families’ animals over the years, some drop by care and others where I stayed overnight for numerous days. Additionally I have experience with exotic animals, including some reptiles! I am comfortable with all dog/cat breeds and personalities, and love connecting with the animals while providing the highest quality of care while owners are away. I currently am home from school for the summer and have a part time internship (Tuesdays & Wednesdays in person) so I am usually available at all hours of the day to provide the necessary care for interested families. At home I have a dog and a cat who are very well behaved and get along well, so crating isn’t necessary. I usually walk my dog around our neighborhood daily because we don’t have a fenced yard. I also love playing with my animals in my free time, because it brings them so much joy and is a good way to get active! I can provide walks, yard time, play time with toys, etc. for my clients based on their animals individual needs/their home environment.

About: Ive been around, and taken care of pets for my family/other friends and family for as long as I can remember. I have been trusted with the tasks of walking, grooming, medicating, and making sure the well being of the pet is at its fullest, and if it’s not, I am keen to figure out the problem. I am also very good with pets under the age of 1, as I have assisted in raising 3 litters of dogs of my own. I currently work as a freelance musician, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My availability is very flexible, as the shows I play are in town, and only take up a small part of the day or night, so I will not be away from your pet very long, if at all! I have 5 dogs of my own, who are on a feeding/bathroom schedule that we follow daily. When I take them outside I am with them to make sure they do all they need to do so there are no accidents in the house. When taking care of your pet I will always cater to their need/routine; give them as much space, and or as much love as they need!

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. Including gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, birds, dogs, cats, and assisted with goats, donkeys, horses. I have prior pet sitting experience. My Mother owned a pet sitting business in the early 2000's, I assisted her. She has since retired and is from the Sykesville/Eldersburg area...farmland area more or so back then...many things have changed. She taught me to love all animals, even if they're grouchy...look for that light that's inside them...love that. Cat parents...we had barn cats...Spanky and Cleo, the occasional stray that decided to call are farm home. We had heated and a/c controlled tack rooms. Both cats were adopted from shelters and lived 10 plus years. They had free roam with the horses...goats...donkeys...and neighbors dog Bailey...very well loved. I do know that cats are particular with who they accept/like. Sometimes it takes time. But it's important to pay attention to them and their body language. I respect that. I have plenty of time to help take care of pets. Whether it's daily visits or vacations, it's important to know your furry, scaled, or feather babies are in good hands. Depending on your pets needs, I love petting and giving cuddles to animals. I am comfortable changing rodent and bird cages, or different needs for individual pets. Just an update since I have been on Rover...I have lost both my dogs, Diesel 12/21 and Riley 2/23, Diesel was a rescue pup that we adopted at 6 months old. Riley was from a private home. They were together from 6 and 9 months old and were my best friends. I miss them dearly and think about them everyday. Diesel was just about 13 years old and Riley was over 14 years old. I am taking a break for a bit from having my own pups, and all the love I have for dogs and any animal will be passed on to any that I take care of. I am available weekdays and weekends. Mornings and evenings, mid day visits as well Monday thru Friday. I communicate my schedule during the meet and greet or prior to booking if there is any conflicts. I treat my clients pets as I would my own. It can be lonely and scary when a pets owner is gone more than normal, they will get lots of love.

“Brianna responded quickly to a last minute dog walking request and gave my dog some much needed exercise while I was at work for the day. Even though my dog is high energy and I was still figuring out some of his quirks since I had just gotten him a week prior to the request, Brianna did a great job handling his walks each day! I'd definitely recommend her to care for your pets!”

“Kara was wonderful with our German Shepherd Chief! Chief was always excited to see her and loved the walks. Kara even took Chief on some new routes which I'm sure Chief loved. Looking forward to future walks!”
