Dog Walking Arthur Ridge

“Daniela was fabulous. She was the highlight of our dog Bailey's afternoons. She went above and beyond while taking him for some walkies.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and fostering many dogs for local rescues, learning to manage everything from picky eaters to senior pets with mobility issues and other various medical needs. I also have experience caring for cats, parakeets, chickens, guinea pigs , anoles and fish I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I will do my best to match the routine you have with them to keep them on schedule and make sure they have fun and are comfortable while you are away. I can play, crate, feed, or give medications in the home. I want to match your routine with your pets as best as possible so they can feel comfortable while you are away.

About: I grew up with multiple pets, including two cats in my childhood and a wonderful dog that I helped care for in her seniority, so I've been familiar with animals all my life. Currently, I own and aided in training a high-maintenance, special needs German Shepherd. He's a sweetheart, but he's definitely a commitment! Given his intensely anxious nature, he needs a patient hand to calm him often. He's also epileptic, so I am well practiced in attentiveness, administering medication, following specialized meal plans and the like if needed. I have also done pet and house sitting on many occasions, particularly for family and friends but for a wide variety of pets– from little dogs that didn't even reach my knee, to my own Shepherd, who stands just about as tall as my hip. I've house kept for up to a week, entertaining young dogs and going on daily walks, etc. I am always happy to be introduced to new little ones and have a high pain tolerance when it comes to their claws, so I don't mind when they get a bit rowdy, either! High energy or low, I will gladly make time for any fluffy friends who need a watchful eye. I am currently on track to earn a Bachelor's in the Arts from Towson University, which is about a 50 minute commute from my home. With this in mind, my current class schedule entails that Towson days are essentially unavailable; however, the rest of the week, I'm generally left plenty of room to take on pet care! Life is always busy, and while sometimes I wind up with too many commitments to do it regularly, I'll always make time for it when I can. Though my own home may not be an ideal place for another pet to spend nights due to my Shepherd's nervousness, I will gladly offer my time to visit others. I have previously found myself curled up on a couch with a pet I was taking care of overnight, or even falling asleep on the floor with them. So long as their pet parents are happy for me to do so, I will gladly stay wherever is most comfortable for the pet involved, and take food/water/sleeping arrangements where they are best suited. I also have a fair sense of direction, so I'm perfectly content on walks in unfamiliar places, especially when I have friendly doggos with me!

About: Ive been taking care of my neighbors, friends, and families pets for a little over 8 years now. Over the years I have learned many things about pets and how to calm them down and gently direct them in the right path. I also have lots of experience with senior dogs who need more attention to detail than younger dogs. Pet care fits into my daily routine quite well. Im a sophomore at frederick community college living at home, so my hours are almost always completely available! I am the dominant pet care taker in my home with two dogs (my angels). I care for pets in my clients home by greeting them and let them get to know me. If the client has a fenced in yard for me to take the dogs out and play thats amazing, but if not I take the dogs for nice walk to get them exercise and some entertainment. I am all for following directions so just let me know what you need and ill handle it!

About: I have been raised with rabbits, birds, cats, dogs, hamsters, and I am currently the proud pet mama to a Doberman, fish, 2 pot belly pigs and 1 rooster & 27 chickens, 2 of which we hatched out on our own! If your animal throws it at me, I can handle it for sure, I’ve seen all kinds of messes. I am a part time working mom/stay at home mom to a newly turned 10 yr old son, who I would be taking with me for pet checks and walks. He is amazing with animals and quite the chicken wrangler when needed. I work part time at my sons school, my availability will depend on my hours there. Trying to start this side business and I promise I’ll take care of your pet babies :-)

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had cats throughout my life and have also had the joy of caring for a dog. I truly enjoy the companionship that pets bring and love giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. Now that my kids are grown and out of the house, I have more time to spend doing something I genuinely enjoy! Being around animals! I’d love to spoil your pets with love, playtime, walks, and lots of attention while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for just like they were at home. I can stop in before and after work. Or I can stay at your house. I work a 9-5 weekdays. I am available also on weekends. I will follow your expectations while sitting for your pets in your home. I will make sure the home remains pet safe. Making sure your pets environment is safe before leaving them. I will give them lots of attention and playtime.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years—both my own and through my professional pet sitting work. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pups, including energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra patience. I also have personal experience caring for an injured dog (my own had a CCL tear last summer), so I understand how important it is to be gentle, keep walks controlled, and watch for any limping or discomfort. During visits, I make sure your dog gets a safe walk, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of love—plus photo updates and a detailed visit note so you always know how things went. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits. I’m also available for last-minute requests when needed, including weekends and holidays. Safety is my top priority. I always follow pet parent instructions closely and keep routines consistent. For walks, I use a waist leash/leash belt so your pup is securely attached to me the entire time—this helps keep both your pet and me safe. I’m careful around doors and gates, double-check locks before leaving, and I send updates with notes and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“Ryan was wonderful. I can tell she really loves animals and cares about her job. She followed through with everything that I requested her to do. She had no problem at all walking both of my dogs at the same time - which can be challenging! I hope to use her again but from what I understand she goes away to college soon and will return to Maryland for holidays and when her school has breaks.”

“Ashley waked my dog for two weeks. She shared photos, walking paths, checkin and out times. Ripley was exhausted every day when I got home from work. Definitely plan to use her again and will recommend to others! She was great!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 7-10 years. Helping out friends and family, along with animals of my own. Each animal offers a unique experience! I’m currently studying for my NCE looking to make extra money while spending time with animals. Flexible schedule and willing to accommodate when needed. I am not able to bring animals to my house. However, I promise to walk, feed, play and care for your fur babies! Its their first time on Earth and I feel like it’s important to give them good experiences just as humans get.

About: I have 2 German Shorthaired Pointers a lab puppy & 2 guinea pigs. I’ve been in the Vet Med field for 4 years.

“Angela has walked my dog 3-4 times now and she is absolutely dependable, reliable, patient, conscientious, and has gone above and beyond to work with my shy and often skittish rescue. I can’t thank Angela enough!”

“Kerri has been getting to know Patches prior to house- and dog-sitting for us for a week in June. Kerri is very responsible, very kind, and wonderful with our dog. Patches is a little skittish, particularly with new people, but he has warmed up to Kerri who plays with him, walks him, and pets him (he loves belly rubs). We feel very comfortable leaving him with Kerri.”

“Such a great experience! Kobe had a wonderful walk today, and I really appreciate the care and attention you gave him. Thank you for taking such good care of my boy! 🐶❤️ Highly recommend!”

Monica M.

“Julian is amazing! I could not have asked for anyone more sensitive to the needs of our senior, special needs greyhound. He was very attentive to all details we provided, was incredibly flexible when our schedules changed, and made sure Tannin was always comfortable and happy. Tannin would even run to greet Julian when he'd come in. There's no higher praise than that!”
