Dog Walking Arden Valley

About: I've been taking care of animals ranging from large dogs, kittens and cats, hamsters, and even goats my entire life, whether its feeding, walking, or even just hanging out with. I'm happy to work with young animals all the way up to seniors and provide any unique care they may need! I am the biggest animal lover and can make sure your pet will feel loved and cared for. I am currently home on summer break and have lots of availability. I occasionally will be away for a long weekend at the beach, but I am available otherwise for quick check ins, overnight stays, or whatever is needed. I have plenty of cat toys, bowls, beds, and space for your pets to make themself comfortable in. I would typically prefer to come to your home for dogs but will be able to accommodate if that is not possible for you!

About: I am a local Hereford Zone mom available to help walk, check-in on, or watch your pet. I will give them the attention, love, and patience. I do not train animals but will be consistent with whatever training you want me to uphold. I am flexible and happy to help in anyway I can. I work from home and my schedule is flexible to pop in and out and check in on your pets whenever you need me to. I am a responsible adult that will respect your space and home when I come to look after your pets. If needed, I have a fenced in yard than you pet is welcome to use if needed.

“Emily arrived on time and was so friendly and warm greeting Sadie. She definitely provided Sadie a great walk and rewarding experience. I would definitely use Emily again?”

“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of time for any pet care. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I started dog walking and pet sitting in middle school and have continued ever since. In high school, I interned at a veterinary office, where I gained experience working with animals in a medical setting, and during college I worked at a dog daycare caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with pets that have different routines, energy levels, and care requirements, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently in graduate school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my days around walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and overnight care to make sure pets get plenty of attention and consistency. I have availability during weekdays, evenings, and many weekends, and I split my time between the Baltimore County/Hunt Valley area and Ocean City, which gives me flexibility to accommodate a variety of clients and schedules. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and is a great balance alongside school. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I always follow routines closely, pay attention to their needs, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also love sending updates and photos so owners can feel relaxed while they’re away.

About: When I am home from school, I live with 2 dogs and 4 cats. My mother frequently fosters dogs from all different walks of life, so I am used to adapting to many unique circumstances! Wether your dog is out going or never leaves their crate, I’m your girl for every kind of care! I am a home body, so with the exception of the classes I have (only Tuesday through Thursday) I am always around! Having animals gives me a sense of motivation, I love knowing I’m starting and ending my day by caring for a pet. I miss my puppies while I’m away at school and can’t wait to give yours all the love I have built up! I love having a buddy to hang out with while I am doing homework, making dinner, or relaxing watching TV. I love a good schedule and will make sure your dog feels as good as possible following the same routine with me!

“Amazing service! She refilled my boy water bowl and offered to wipe his paws after the walk. I will be rebooking.”

“Brian was great! Super punctual and a true dog lover who was more than willing and able to handle some extra accommodations for our senior dog. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again!”

About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.

About: My family's love and appreciation for animals has instilled values of pet-care, discipline, and adoration for animals within me. Throughout my life, I've always owned a dog or cat, so I've grown accustomed to animal needs and routines. My experience with fostering has taught me the individuality of a dog's needs and how pets require care that is specific to their conditions and dispositions. One of my fosters was a puppy, so I have experience with a range of dog ages. Another was a border collie, so I am familiar with high energy dogs. My parents possess strict and high standards for the pet sitters that take care of our cat and dog, which has extended to my current standards that I hold for myself. I completely understand the struggle of leaving your pets, and with this in mind I will provide loving, reliable, and trustworthy care. As a student who is on break for the winter, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Having a flexible winter schedule allows me to devote ample time and attention to your pet's needs. My years of experience with animals allow me to affectionately and quickly connect with other pets. I strive to create a calm and loving atmosphere so your pets will feel at home with me. It is my top priority to ensure your pet's happiness and safety. With my accumulated knowledge I will cater to your pets individual needs, whether that be feeding, grooming, playtime, or cuddles.

About: I bring a combination of reliability, experience, and genuine love for animals that sets me apart from other sitters. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. I am trained in providing medication administration, gentle handling for anxious pets, and creating structured routines to keep pets happy and healthy. My attention to detail ensures that every pet receives individualized care, and I communicate regularly with owners to give updates and peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, training support, or senior pet care, I tailor my approach to meet each animal’s unique needs. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I am available evenings and on weekends to provide care for your pets. During these times, I dedicate focused attention to feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I can follow your pet’s specific routines and make sure they receive the care and interaction they need while maintaining a structured schedule that keeps them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and happy. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, engage in playtime and exercise, and offer plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I treat the space and pets with respect, following all owner instructions carefully. I maintain routines as directed, ensure pets have fresh water and food, and provide companionship and exercise. I also keep the owner updated with regular messages or photos, so they feel confident their pets are safe and well-cared for while they’re away.

“Victoria is a great dog walker. She understands our pup and gives him a great walk every day, even in the pouring rain. I’d highly recommend Victoria!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years and have 2 dogs of my own. I’ve rescued stray dogs off the street before and put them in a safe environment. I was once very active in helping animal shelter. A close friend of mine is a Veterinarian and had asked me to dog sit for her when she traveled, it was a pleasure to handle 5 dogs at a time at her house. I enjoy taking walks in nature with dogs. I can also take care of chickens, horse, rabbits, hamsters, and fish when you are away. I have plenty of time to play with your dog and take them on walks. My schedule is open daily and weekly routine as well once established. I love to give dog treats and play ball with them. Taking them on long walks. I can also give them a lot of petting for attention. I will take pictures for updates on their activity.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life — I grew up in a home full of pets and was responsible for their daily care from a young age. As an adult, I’ve always had animals (dogs and cats) of my own and have experience with pets at every life stage. Most recently, I lovingly cared for my senior dog who passed away at 17, so I’m very familiar with the patience and attention that older dogs often need. I’m active and love going for walks, but I’m just as happy to relax and keep a pet company. I’m responsible, punctual, and committed to following your pet’s routine closely. I currently have one dog of my own and am fostering another. I I currently work part-time, Tues-Thursday. I'm available for walks or check-ins Friday-Monday. During my breaks (I work at a school), like holidays and the summer, I am available any day! I can also do evenings Tues-Thursday. I offer care in my clients homes - both check-ins and walks. My own house is a bit chaotic with kids and animals, so I'm not offering care in my own home. I will be diligent in following all instructions when taking care of your pets and will also be respectful of your home!

“Julian is amazing. He took such good care of our girls while we were away. He kept in touch with us and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were safe and cared for.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was 6, and I can’t imagine life without them! I grew up with small dogs and now share my home with three wonderful cats, including a sweet senior. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for not just cats and dogs, but also mice, rabbits, snakes, and even a duck with no legs named Peggy. I also have a soft spot for big dogs who think they’re lap dogs (the best kind!). Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just keeping pets comfy and happy, I love making every furry, feathered, or scaly friend feel at home. I work from home, which means my schedule is super flexible and pet-friendly! I’m usually available anytime after 10 a.m., and I love fitting in walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, your pets will get plenty of love and attention without feeling lonely. Your pet’s safety and well-being always come first with me. When I’m caring for them in your home, I create a secure, calm, and dependable environment. I pay close attention to routines, follow instructions carefully, and keep a watchful eye so nothing is overlooked. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.

“My Zeus is so happy with Dimitri that when he arrives he grabs his leash and refuses to let us say hi! We are extremely happy with Dimitri he is on time and communicates very well with any changes or updates. I would highly recommend him just not on my day and time.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.

About: My family raised litters of puppies growing up. Coming home from school at ages as young as 6 years old, I would walk into a home with as many as a 12 labrador puppies (+ our 2-3 full grown labs) at a time. I helped my mother with cleaning them, cleaning their messes, and watching them carefully when we took them outside to begin potty training. Once I was older, I began professionally dog walking and pet sitting. In high school, I had 3 families whose pets I consistently cared for, sometimes for weeks at a time while they were on vacation, in addition to simultaneously caring for my 3 dogs and 1 cat at home. Caring for pets has been an integral part of my life for (literally) as long as I can remember. I typically work 4-8.5 hour shifts at my job in Timonium, MD. I work only part-time, so I do not work every day, but it is important to note that if your fur babies need potty breaks every 4 hours or less, I might not be the most compatible sitter for you. I usually receive my work schedule two weeks in advance on Fridays or Saturdays. I always want to cater to the pet’s routine and make the transition of care as seamless as possible. I pay great attention to how long their usual walk is, how often they need to spend time outside, how much food they are to be given and at what times of day. The comfort of the pet (and thereby the owner) is my absolute top priority.
