Dog Walkers in Arthur Ridge, MD

“I used Elan to walk our girl Neffie for a few days for the 1st. I’m always reserved when allowing new dog walkers into my home. However, Elan came a few days before and met with Neffie and me to get special instructions and the lay of the land. Neffie warmed up to her instantly. Elan, was a pleasure, on time with her walks, sent me photos, and updated me how my baby was doing. I will definitely use her again. Thanks again Elan for giving me a piece of mind. :)”

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and recently trained my own puppy. I have experience with watching some friend’s dogs for extended periods and taking them on walks. I am a college student so I would be available all day Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Wednesdays I could be available in the evening hours after my classes. I keep a close eye on the pets I watch and show them all love and care. The walks will be catered towards each dog’s preferences and health.

About: I have always had a cat and dog of my own growing up but I love all animals big and small. Whenever my family, friends, and neighbors need pet care I am always their first call! I always feed my pets, take them to the vet, and give them plenty of love especially when I am home from college for the summer. I have walked, fed, and cared for animals of many kinds. I love keeping them company while their owners are busy and I am willing and able to clean up after them.

About: With 15 years of dog care experience and a lifetime surrounded by dogs, I’ve cared for every personality—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I understand how important routine, comfort, and playtime are. I’m flexible with visits—weekdays or weekends—and happy to handle meals, walks, meds, playtime, and plenty of belly rubs. Whether your dog loves active fun or quiet companionship, I provide a calm, loving experience so you can relax while you’re away. I just recently moved from Ohio to Maryland and am currently in the middle of a career change. With my passion for people and pets, I thought this was the perfect time to join Rover! I’m very flexible and can easily accommodate a variety of schedules—weekdays, weekends, or last-minute visits. I’m dedicated to making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve whenever you need it! I prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort above all else. I live on a peaceful, spacious golf course with very light traffic, providing a calm and secure environment for walks and play. My home features a large yard where your dog can run and explore freely. If your pup enjoys the company of other dogs, there are two friendly, well-mannered neighbor dogs nearby for supervised playdates. I will treat your dog like my own—with love, care, and attention—so you can feel confident they’re in safe, dedicated hands while you’re away.

“Just in the few walks we've scheduled with Lin, I can already tell she's the best dog walker we've ever had. Our dog looks forward to their walks together! I've also noticed how much better our dog walks on leash with us - she's not pulling as much.”

I also have experience with hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens and chinchillas.

About: Hey! I’m a 20-year-old college student who’s been caring for dogs for the past 5 years. I’ve looked after all kinds of dogs — from energetic dogs to senior dogs—and I always try to make sure they have fun. I’m also a lifeguard, but I have a flexible schedule. If you’re looking for someone reliable who likes being around animals, I’d love to help take care of your dog! I am available every day of the week to take care of your pets but am also working as a lifeguard so will need to work around that at times (I mostly only work as a lifeguard 2 or 3 days of the week for 4 hour shifts) When I’m staying at your home to care for your dog, I follow their usual routine—whether that’s meal times, walks, or just hanging out. I also make sure to treat your home with the same care I’d want for my own.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life! And I have been caring for animals professionally for 6 years going on. I have 3 dogs that I’ve raised since they were puppies.I currently have a Pitt mix 6 year old dog named Kokoa, a 8 year old boxer/hound mix named Shiloh and a 11 year old chihuahua. So believe me, multiple dogs at one time is no problem. And I’ve learned some cool tricks over the years on how to deal with difficult dogs. I love running and weightlifting, so I can match your pup's energy. I consider myself an active person so I have no doubt I can keep up with your high energy pups. But I won't say no to just sitting on the couch with your pup by my side and having a movie night. I’m currently back home from college, I go to UMD. (GO TERPS!), and so my availability is wide open, and available for overnight care, dog walks, and drop in visits. I'm currently have an internship on Mondays and Tuesday’s all day but those are the only times I’m unavailable. I am free wed-Sunday at any times. I am fully vaccinated, and am available to dog sit at your home, depending on your comfortability of course. A few years ago , Kokoa had to have TPLO surgery, and I cared for her throughout her recovery and medication administration, so if you have a pup with special needs, I have experience and can deliver! i do have experience caring for smaller animals like rabbits too. I provide scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, affection and any other additional needs.

About: I’ve been sitting for cats for family members for over 5 years whenever there’s been a vacation, and I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs for the same time. I also volunteer for BARCS and take care of animals there. I’m a substitute teacher so I only work during the school day and and therefore always up early in the morning and done working before the traditional business day. I cannot pet sit at my own home, but I’ve walked dogs and cared for cats in their homes. I’m very relaxed and care for the pets carefully by the instructions of the owners and report what went on with the pets and if there were any unusual incidents. I also have experience with pets who have are recovering from injuries so it’s important to me to be communicative with the owners.

About: With experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, and aquatic animals, I’m glad to provide care to the pets who complete your family! I’m located in Sykesville, MD, but able to travel in central Maryland to meet your needs. I am available most week days, and with a few days notice, I’m glad to provide care on weekends to fit your pet care needs. Safety is a priority, along with care and engagement. While caring for pets, I look out for their safety by keeping a watchful eye on them, and always ensuring they are in a safe environment.

About: I have many years of experience with many different animals. I absolutely love all animals and enjoy the opportunity to care for them. I have experience with senior medical care, puppy training, potty training, positive reinforcement training, and resource guarding. In our home we have chickens, dogs, and bunnies but I have experience caring for cats, horses, and goats. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am typically home or local all day so I am extremely flexible schedule wise. We have 3 acres of unfenced property. If taking care of your loves in my home they will need to be friendly with other pets and small children. Otherwise I have reliable transportation and a very flexible schedule so can accommodate your pets needs as necessary.

About: I’ve grown up with a deep love for caring for animals and knew I wanted to become a veterinarian from the age of 10. I started volunteering in rescues at the age of 12, shadowing in my first veterinary clinic at 15, and working in a vet clinic at the age of 16. I am going into my 4th year of undergraduate studies to earn my Bachelor of Animal Science Degree and am in the process of applying to Vet School. In my time working with animals I have gained experience cats and dogs of all sizes and ages as well as exotic pets like birds and reptiles and large animals like cows and horses. I’m currently working limited hours at my clinic and have almost open availability all summer to take time getting to know your pets and provide the best care! I will take the time to properly introduce myself to your animals and allow them to gain comfort and trust with me so that when I am providing care they feel right at home!

About: Loving, Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! With a lifetime of experience around animals, 2 years as a professional dog groomer, and two happy pups of my own, I provide compassionate and reliable care for your furry family members. Whether it's walks, grooming, or just quality time, your pet will feel right at home. As a mom of two animal-loving kids, caring for pets is naturally woven into our daily routine. Whether we’re out for a walk, heading to the park, or spending quiet time at home, animals are always part of the mix. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve—just like family. With us, your pet becomes part of an active, loving environment where they’re never just a task on a to-do list—they're a priority. I care for pets in my client's home the same way I care for my own—by being intentional, flexible, and tuned into their needs. I plan their day around the weather and our household routine to make sure they get the right balance of exercise, rest, and attention. For example, if I know we’ll be out for dinner, I make sure my puppy gets plenty of playtime earlier in the day so he’s relaxed and ready to rest while we’re away. On hot days, I shift our schedule to enjoy cooler morning hours outside before the heat sets in. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with thoughtful adjustments made to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy.
