Dog Walkers in Ashwood Manor, MD

“Was searching for a walker very last minute and I could not have been luckier to have been able to get Jake to care for my dog! I felt so secure and comfortable with him in his care and he was so responsive and kind, and I will surely be looking him up well in advance of my next trip so I have a good chance of being able to have him walk my little guy again! Thank you so very much, Jake!!!”

“Ashley was great! We were here in the area traveling in our RV visiting the DC area. We wanted someone to come walk and feed Rascal so we could spend a full day exploring downtown DC and the surrounding area. Ashley covered for us every day. Rascal is not used to spending long periods of time alone so Ashley was a blessing. She fed him and took him on a long walk every visit. We felt so good to know Rascal was being cared for by Ashley. She was also flexible with our schedule. We will call on her again if we return to the DC area which is very likely next year. Our daughter has a job offer in DC next year and we will likely visit and stay in this same area.”

“Loved Lisa’s personality. I appreciated her coming to meet with me and my doggies prior to the scheduled dog walk. Everything went smoothly. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Linda is fantastic! I can tell she really cares about the animals she looks after. Sanuk loves his morning walks with her. And I love getting the little notes about his morning and the pictures.”

About: I am a stay at home mom to 2 girls, ages 4 and 5 and we recently moved to the area! My husband is in the Navy. We live in a townhouse in North Beach, MD. I have a cat that can be timid with new animals, and tends to hide until he feels more comfortable. I would love to help out with your furry family members! I hate when I have to be away from mine so I would give them tons of love so they feel comfortable and at home while you are away. I am available for all needs except for pet sitting in your home, since I have kiddos that need me at my home. Please let me know if I can help you out in any way! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. I am with my girls a lot this summer but they would LOVE to accompany me on visits with your pet! I will have a lot more independent time this fall once they start school. We do not have a fenced in yard but I would be happy to do as many walks as needed for your pup! Our cat can be weary with new animals but he hides and then warms up quickly.

About: With years of experience caring for dogs, I stand out as a pet sitter due to my ability to also look after my clients’ plants/garden from time-to-time. My lifelong passion for animals includes providing special care for young and senior dogs, ensuring their health and happiness. My current schedule varies, but I typically work 7-hour shifts on Sundays and Mondays. On the these dates, I can manage pet care for all dogs that have a wait period to be let out 4-8 hrs. If necessary, I have the flexibility to call off work to ensure your pets are well taken care of. From Tuesday to Saturday, I have open availability, allowing me to dedicate ample time to pet care activities, such as walks, feeding, and playtime. This arrangement helps me balance work commitments while ensuring your pets receiving the attention and care they need. In caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I ensure to follow detailed instructions provided by the client to meet the specific needs of their dog. For instance, if a dog is anxious during thunderstorms, I am proactive in reaching out via call or text to discuss calming strategies. Additionally, I always clarify any boundaries regarding what I can handle or access in the home and to build a stronger rapport, I will arrange pre-sitting meetings with clients to better understand their preferences and to bond with their dog(s).

About: Never met a dog that didn’t love me! I’ve owned dogs all my life until now. (Renting, and owner doesn’t allow 😕). Dogs of any size or temperament are fine. You can trust that I will be on time and treat them as if they were my own! I work nights so I’m available most of the day (8:30am-2:30pm on days I work and any time on my off days, usually Mon and Tues I realize all dogs are different, so any specific instructions for your pet will be followed to the T. You can rest assured that I will be patient and caring with your family member!

About: Since childhood, I've been trusted to look after other people's pets. I grew up with dogs of my own, as well as animals of all kinds, so I have a lot of experience with pets of all personalities and temperaments. I also worked with a vet for three years, have a biology degree with an emphasis on animal science, and have a special needs pet myself, so I'm confident giving medications, maintaining any recovery care, or whatever else your dog may need. I'd love to be friends with your pup! I am self-employed and currently work from home most of the week, so I have some flexibility when it comes to scheduling! I am available for drop-in visits or walks Monday-Friday. As all of my services will take place in the client's home, I will follow any instructions that the client gives me in regards to pet care. It is my goal that your pet's routine is as uninterrupted as possible.

About: I have experience watching and taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I have always been around animals and love to help feed them, take them outside for walks, and give pets when requested. I have 2 dogs of my own, a mini Doberman and a Rottweiler. I feel comfortable with any size dog, since having a small and large at home. I have availability throughout my days to stop by and check in on pets several times. I understand myself how hard it can be to leave your pets at home, but I am more than happy to ensure they are comfortable and taken care of while I’m watching them! I can come by a couple of times a day to will be able to walk your dog on a leash and take them in your backyard and play if it is fenced in. I will come by to feed and hang out with them so they don't feel lonely.

About: I have grown up caring for pets my whole life. I had several cats as well as dogs as a child and I learned from a young age to both respect and engage these animals as part of our family in a gentle and loving manner. I believe that taking the time to allow an animal get to know you and accept your energy and presence is most important for quality care. Taking the time to do this allows me to get to know each animal and get a sense of their personality and needs. I have quick reflexes and I am a very active person, so not only will I keep your pet safe, but I will also ensure that they are well-exercised and happy during their outing.

About: I truly treat pets like they are people. I am always gentle and kind to all animals, and I make sure their needs are met. I am currently working part time in the evening, so I can watch, walk, feed pets in the early morning, mid day, and late evening. In my home I care for my dog by walking him and making sure he has a safe environment. He lives comfortably in our home. Our cats are house cats who have the luxury of a spacious home to roam.

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, since I can remember. I have potty trained puppies and taught them tricks. I have experience with senior dogs and special needs as well. I also used to have a hamster, a rat, and hedgehog. Currently I own one dog and a saltwater fish tank. I have plenty of experience with cats as well. I’m pretty much a sucker for any animal. They all have my heart. I typically have plenty of time to care for your pet and I’m usually always available. I also have open availability on weekends and holidays as well. My schedule is flexible. I treat all animals as if they are my own. I will do what it takes to make sure that your pet is comfortable and enjoy their time that I care for them:)

“Amy (and her beautiful family) did such a wonderful job with our fur babies while we were out of town. She kept us informed on their daily activities, fed them, walked them and sent us plenty of pictures. You can tell Amy genuinely cares. We would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and responsible dog walker.”

Should this be a situation I am happy to also bring mail or newspapers in as well as water plants and feed any fishes you may also be pet-parenting.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my energy as a young college student who truly enjoys spending time with them. I have a soft spot for both playful puppies and sweet senior pets, and I’m patient, attentive, and gentle with every animal I care for. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits or making sure an older dog is comfortable on slow walks, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work in the evenings from 4–7 PM, so I have plenty of free time during the mornings and early afternoons to give pets the attention, exercise, and playtime they need. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle session, or feeding time, I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, play, and any special instructions. I keep the environment clean, safe, and calm, and I always give pets plenty of love and attention so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a cozy, pet-friendly space with room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I treat every pet like family and make sure their physical and emotional needs are met every day.

About: Hi, I’m David — a dedicated animal lover with a calm, confident energy that pets naturally vibe with. Whether it’s a long walk, a play session, or some relaxing downtime, I meet every pet’s needs with care, patience, and a genuine connection. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from energetic puppies to senior snugglers, and I treat every animal like my own. You’ll get consistent updates, great photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Currently I am working remotely so I am with the dogs all day. Dogs receive potty breaks as needed, and frequent exercise, as well as time to just relax! Dogs have constant access to water, and treats if allowed by owner. All dogs receive their own space for downtime. I have dealt with many reactive and aggressive pets as well.
