Dog Walkers in Avenue, MD

About: I have experience taking care of dogs of varying sizes and ages as well as cats. My care-taking has included regular walking and feeding as well as providing oral medications and bathing as needed. I love animals, and would love to meet and care for yours to provide you peace of mind! I'm currently a college-student, but my scedule is very flexible. I can stay overnights to provide all-day care as needed, or arrive in the mornings and leave in the evenings. I can work both weekdays and weekends, so whatever is most convenient for you will work great for me! I will maintain your pet's schedule according to your pet's needs. I will feed, walk, play, and give medication as needed to make sure your pet stays as happy and healthy as possible while you are away.

“Erik was great with my overly energetic lab. Bella was so excited to see him. This was my first time officially using Rover and I would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Thanks Erik for treating Bella like your own!!!”

About: My name is Allie and I have been sitting for dogs for years. I have 3 labs of my own and have had many before. Dogs are my favorite! I am currently in school from 8-11:20 daily but am flexible any time after that from Monday through Friday. Weekends can be discussed but overall flexible! Due to my dogs at home I would not be sitting any dogs at my home but I am willing to travel distance. I am very good with all animals and love taking them on walks.

About: I’m the person people call when their animals need real care — not just a walk around the block. I regularly foster puppies, kittens, and medical-case animals, so I’m used to everything from bottle babies to pets who need meds, deworming, wound care, and structured routines. Nothing fazes me. I work in animal care, and I’m hands-on every day with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m big on structure, safety, and making sure your pet feels secure, not stressed. Whether your dog is a stage-five clinger, a shy baby deer, or a chaos gremlin, I’ve probably fostered one just like them. I work part time on the weekends and all of my free time is dedicated to fosters or owned pets! My passion and hobby is dog training and animal care. I respect and reinforce owners boundaries. My home is optimized for animal safety and with my extensive animal care knowledge I am confidently able to provide a safe and structured environment.

About: I have a lovely home in St Mary’s County with a fenced in back yard overlooking three acres. My family has always had dogs and it wouldn’t be home without them! We have three friendly beagle mixes, ages 2, 3 and 4. I worked full time for 28 years as a counselor for folks with disabilities and took an early retirement in order to be home for my middle school age son. I love walking and playing with pups, who make our lives much better through their loving companionship. Before our current dogs, I have raised three other family dogs and three cats, a love bird, four parakeets, fish and a bearded dragon! I have pet sat for several friends as well and enjoy it!

“Taylor was great working with our dog who get very anxious meeting new people. She did everything possible to make our dog more comfortable and it worked out great. She was able to take a nice walk with our dog and worked with our dog to make her more comfortable. I would recommend Taylor to anyone looking for services on Rover.”

“Alexis is amazing, she took the time out of her day to meet Coco before the planned walks. After each walk she made sure Coco had water and food. If anyone ever needs a walker I highly recommend Alexis!!”

“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”

About: I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m extremely attentive to routines, moods, and comfort levels, so your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Most importantly, I'm compassionate and caring. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets receive a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routines—feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime—to help them feel at home. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day while making sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and lots of love.

“Our dog had a great time. Ginny was on time and communicated well.”

“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”

About: With 15 years of experience, animals aren’t just my job, they’re my world. I bring genuine love and dedication to every pet in my care, whether they’re a playful pup, a curious kitten, or a wise senior companion. Beyond standard sitting services, I offer full grooming care including bathing, brushing, nail trims, teeth cleaning, and ear cleaning, so your pet comes home not just happy, but fresh and well-tended. Having these skills in-house means less stress for your pet and more convenience for you. Cats and dogs both hold a special place in my heart, and after 15 years, I’ve learned how to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is woven into every part of my day. My mornings start with feeding, walks, and making sure every animal in my care gets one on one attention before anything else. Throughout the day I check in on their needs, whether that is playtime, grooming, or just some quiet companionship. Evenings are for winding down together, because pets thrive on consistency and I make sure they always feel settled and secure. This is not something I squeeze into my schedule. It is my schedule. Animals are my priority seven days a week, and that kind of commitment is something every pet owner deserves to know their sitter has. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is always the same, to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I tailor my care to each animal’s personality and routine, because no two pets are alike. When caring for pets in my home, they become part of my daily life. They sleep comfortably, play freely, and receive constant attention throughout the day and night. I keep things calm and nurturing so even nervous or anxious pets can relax and settle in. When visiting clients in their own homes, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Familiar surroundings make a big difference, especially for cats and older pets who do best in their own environment. I handle everything from feeding and walks to grooming and cuddle time, so your home stays in order and your pet stays happy. Either way, you can count on updates and peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in experienced, caring hands.

About: I’ve had experience with animals at all ages and different breeds. I’ve had my golden doddle puppy in college for 2 years while playing division 1 lacrosse so I know the importance for animal love but I am also dependable, passionate, and trustworthy. I’m available 24/7 and I am very flexible and understand summers can be busy and unpredictable. I will work with whatever time works best for you and your animals :) I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own that loves company and is very friendly. I have creates if need be and also in a nice neighborhood for long walks :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many breeds, sizes, and age for over 10 years. My skills are not limited to dogs I also have experience with many house pets including cats, small animals, and even a pet pig! Family, friends, and community members have relied on me to feed, walk, and entertain their pets. I am working full-time M-F. With the exception of Wednesday’s off. Weekends and Wednesday’s are completely freed up for me to care for your pets! I will be respectful of your home as well as how you are already caring for your dogs. I will do my best to keep up routines and training/command words that your dog is already accustomed to. In order to maintain stability in your pets life.

About: I have been pet sitting on and off for about 5 years now, mostly for friends and family. I love animals and am comfortable with all care levels that may involved! I am currently taking online college classes and I work during the day most days. But I have plenty of spare time for pet sitting! I absolutely love animals and am very excited to make some new fur friends! Your pets care and happiness is going to be my upmost priority. I will always try to create a fun and safe environment for everyone involved.

“Chrishauna was patient and gentle with our pup, giving him a nice long walk that he thoroughly enjoyed! Communications were excellent as well!”

About: I have always loved dogs and had my own, but I started caring for other people’s dogs at around 13 years old. In early 2022, I started working at the doggy daycare/boarding facility I currently work at, and I am now a manager there. I am responsible for feeding, bathing, administering medication, playing with and cleaning up after dogs of all different breeds, temperaments, ages and sizes, and I couldn’t be more passionate about my job. I currently work full time (at a dog kennel), and my schedule is consistent but switches days every week. I know my schedule very far out in advance so it should be easy to work with! I have 2 dogs at home that are well trained but not very friendly with other dogs, so at home boarding does not work for me. However, at your home, I can work with whatever system you have going for your dogs already, whether that be a crate training system or something different. I have plenty of experience from my current job and can meet all the needs you and your furry friend need to be satisfied:)
