Dog Walkers in Arters Mill, MD

About: I've been around animals my whole life. From the littlest of fish, to the largest of cows and other farm animals! I have 3 dogs of my own, two Colorado mountain dogs and a medium pittie mix. I also have 4 geckoes (2 leopards, a giant Madagascar day gecko, and my newest boy, a harlequin crested gecko!). I've dog-sat little dogs, big dogs, disabled and elderly dogs, as well as young pups and households with multiple animals! I will give you the best care, whether it be for your pets, home, or more! Right now I work part-time at a bakery on Sundays, and I am also a full-time college student! Thankfully, my schedule is very flexible and my attention will solely be on your furry friends. I always make sure to keep my client's homes clean and organized, and pay special attention to any extra tasks I'm giving, such as watering plants (I have dozens of plant babies!), changing the temperature, emptying dehumidifiers, and retrieving packages. Anything you need, I will do to the best of my abilities! I like to update my clients daily on their pets to ease their mind.

“Lindsey is extremely chill and the exact perfect fit for our reactive Kevin. Kevin is excitable but as soon as he sees Lindsey he calms down and is ready for a walk. I highly recommend!!!”

About: From house sitting and petting sitting for neighbors when I was young, to fostering pets for the past 5 years, and caring for friends pets when they go away, I have always enjoyed meeting new dogs & cats and caring for them, feeding them or administering medications, playing with & walking them, or just sitting & talking with them, even bathing them! I have a calm and friendly personality that animals gravitate to. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. My kids are 17 & 18 so they drive themselves around. I can help on weekends, overnights, weekdays, nearly any time, as well as on short notice. I would offer my own home as well but I have a cat and a dog so sometimes the guest pets don't get along with other animals. In your home I can sit with them and talk to them if they're a lazy pet, or take your pup for a walk or running if they're high energy. I could also take him or her for car rides to get a pup cup at Starbucks or to my large fenced in backyard to run around. I live off Sunshine Way in Westminster near the Wal-mart.

About: I own 2 huskies. I've volunteered with a dog rescue for 8 years fostering all types of dogs... 46 of them in fact. My husband and I have firefighter/EMT schedules so we're often home during the day, and handle emergencies well. We have an irregular schedule in my house. You will have to check my calendar for availability. We are often home during the week and daytime. My care for my dogs and foster dogs depend on the dog. My female dog is a princess who sleeps on the couch, but my male needs to be kenneled to keep out of trouble. We have a dog door to allow our dogs freedom to go in and out as they please.

“Meghan was fantastic with Weezie. Patient and loving and easy-going and responsible. Thanks!”

“Jen and Jonathan walked our dog Little Belle twice a day for over an hour each time. Our dog loved them and couldn’t stop wiggling her tail whenever they arrived. They were super reliable and helpful and made this a great experience for all of us. We will definitely book them again!”

About: Thanks for looking at my profile! I'm looking for pet sitting/walking/care jobs. I've had two dogs that I've taken care of for 12 years, so I'm comfortable with any tasks. I also regularly sit/walk dogs for friends and family members. I had several cats growing up as well, so I'm happy to care for them. Additionally, I grew up next to a neighbor with a horse farm who I would help, so I can groom, muck, and ride horses. I'm a big animal lover, and a very active person, who enjoys playing, running, walking, and hiking with all animals. I'm happy to house sit as well. I'm looking for owners who need immediate help, and I'm very flexible, so I can accommodate whatever pet needs you have. Thanks for reading this, hope to hear from you! Saturday through Monday my schedule is open to care foe your pups! Tuesday and Thursday I am available from 12:30PM, and Wednesday and Friday from 2PM onwards. My complex has a dog park where I can regularly take them for bathroom breaks. I don’t mind dogs on furniture or beds but I am happy to adjust my style to however you care for your dogs at home. I have a trail very close for long walks and play time.

“Kerri is wonderful with our dog Patches. He doesn't warm up to people easily, but his tail wags and wags when He sees Kerri.”

About: I am a lover of all animals and will treat yours like my own. I was a Dog Trainer at Petsmart for 3 years. I have two dogs, two horses, and a cat of my own. We live on a farm that opens up to the woods so we love to exercise and we also love to hit the trails at Solider's Delight or the Westminster pond. All sizes and breeds are welcome. If they need special care or medication, I am also able to assist with that. If there's any other pets in the house, I am knowledgeable with most. You’re welcome to call and check in at any time, and you’ll receive text or email updates daily. I hope you will consider me in your search to find someone to care for your pet family. I work full time, but happy to help your family out with the furry, feathery, or scaling member of the family just like my own. Just like my own! I try to stay as organized as possible, so a list to go off of is preferred! I'm happy to spend time caring for your pet.

“We were super impressed with Leilani and the way she cared for our dog, Doc. She took him out on a sweltering hot day but gave him plenty of time to do his business and then showered him with attention inside where it was cool. All the while she kept us updated and sent pics and a note when she was finished. Definitely recommend!”

About: Simply put, I truly LOVE animals. I have always enjoyed spending time with, and playing with pets of all kinds. I will put your pets' needs above my own. I'm currently working full time, but I am usually home when not at work. I live 5 minutes away from my job, so I will always be available for your fur babies even while working if I need to be. I care for pets the same way I would care for a baby. Their needs are always more important than mine, and I will always make time for them. They also get plenty of attention and play time! Please note: I will have to crate them while at work. This is the ONLY time they will be crated. I will also be home around 1:30 for lunch to take your pet out for a potty break.

“The doggies and their owners are very happy. All questions were asked. All updates were given. Last minute request was accepted.”

They will be loved and taken care of while you go to work or even on vacation. It’s always nice to know your pet is taken care of and you have no need stress . I am stay at home mama so I have the time during morning after 9 is best. I am open to afternoon and evenings as well. I have a big yard out back and two dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. They are very friendly and good with other dogs. I would be taken for walks. Go dog parks around and get plenty of love and exercise.

About: I have had dogs for the past 30 years. I am an approved foster home for a pug rescue. I have rescued several dogs! The last two years, I have been a dog walker! The dog I recently rescued was a client I walked whose mom was disabled. She needed more care than her mom could give her. We bonded from the first walk, and I knew I could be her forever home! I have a blind/deaf pug as well. I do a lot of housesitting and dogsitting it’s always a joy! My home is on an acre. I have my own business out of my home, and so I am home all day and your pet will not be left alone! I am home all day running my health coach business. Pet care will keep me busy and your animal happy..and the resident dogs will love having playmates! I do have a portion of my yard fenced in so the dogs have lots of room to run and play and be dogs. Dogs are rarely crated unless they are used to that and the owner request that they have time in their crate. I am home the majority of the time. I work from home on a part-time basis so I am with the dogs the majority of the time. When the dogs come to my home, it is like they are on their own little vacation. They have a good time playing with the other dogs and go home tired.

About: I have four dogs, three cats, two bearded dragons, a snake and a Tegu. Nothing brings me more joy than being surrounded by animals. You can feel safe knowing your fur baby will get plenty of love and attention! I am available everyday during the week mornings, afternoons and nights . I am also available most weekends. Most days I am even available on short notice in case you have an emergency. I have a fenced in yard if you need me to keep your fur baby at my home. If you prefer a crate I am able to provide that as well. If I am taking care of your fur baby in your home all I ask is that you give me a complete run down so I can care for him/her as you would. I have a lot of love and cuddles to give!
