Dog Walkers in Avondale, MD

“Courtney is fantastic with our high energy dog. She takes her on a nice long walk and makes sure to give her plenty of time to sniff as she goes. Our dog is noticeably better behaved in the evenings when Courtney has taken her. It’s obvious she gets great exercise and mental stimulation on those days. I recommend Courtney wholeheartedly!”

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

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND….All of the things you want while you are away to relax from your responsibilities with your pets. My high energy girls are entertained, exercised, and pampered until they don’t want me to come home! Feel confident leaving your pet in their care.”

About: We are dog lovers who have loved providing a safe home away from home for our clients since May 2019. Lindsay grew up with a dog from the age of 10 until she moved out of her parents' home and is accustomed to the care, love, and energy needed to make a dog feel at home. For the last decade, she's often been entrusted with the care of family members' and friends' dogs when they've been on vacation. Our home is large, with plenty of room for a larger dog to feel comfortable, 3.5 acres of wooded land for us to go on trail walks, and a safe, friendly neighborhood for street walks. We also have a fenced-in yard, so dogs who don’t do well or enjoy walking on a leash now have a safe, secure option for exercise and play time in our yard! We have a 5-year-old pup of our own who loves playmates, and she looks forward to meeting your fur babies! We are currently home full-time Monday-Friday to be able to give your dogs the full attention they need, whether for drop-ins, walks, boarding while you’re away, or doggy day care while you work or have appointments to tend to. We have a fenced-in yard with room for your dog to run. We have a crate available if needed, as well as a separate in-law suite if your dog needs some separation or quiet time from our energetic pup.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many years, and used to have a senior dog. My love for dogs and cats sets the bar so high and I love playing and taking care of them. I’m currently working part time at the hospital and am looking for a side gig with pets, I can do mornings or evenings but looking for flexible clients. I have lots of toys and love to play with my dog and cat. I love taking my dog out for walks, and love meeting other people’s dogs and cats!

“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: [Please note: I am back in Maryland for this season.] I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, whether in my own house or my neighbors’. I’ve become used to both the chaos and peacefulness of pet caretaking, and I’m always ready to learn something new. In terms of dogs, most of my experience has been with small to medium or slightly large dogs, but I’ve spent time with all types and am excited about new experiences. I’ve walked dogs and pet-sat for neighbors as the majority of my paid experience, and I’m looking to expand outside of my neighborhood. As someone who goes to college in another state, I am often in Maryland during the summers and winters, where I have extra love to give to pets (there aren’t many on campus)! While back home for summer or winter vacation, I have a very flexible schedule and love to go walking, which is why dog walking and pet sitting suits me perfectly. My other job is during the school year, so it doesn’t interfere with my summer/winter schedules. That means that I am available most days of the week, and I will try to be as accommodating as possible for my clients. As someone who’s grown up with pets, I regularly help with feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up their litter box or taking them to the bathroom, administering medicine when necessary, along with any other additional care that they need. While working with clients, I write down any specific instructions they have for me and build a consistent routine, especially if I am pet sitting. I understand that different animals have different schedules and needs, so flexibility and safety is my priority.

“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.”

I look forward to meeting you and your pets and helping with all your pet sitting needs.

About: Hi! My name is Zoe Hurlburt and I cannot wait to meet your loving pup! I have many years of experience with many different types of dogs. Big or small I’m your girl! I love all types of dogs, if you are looking for a nice get away, or your pup needs a walk. I’m one call away! With my routine with work I’m available to walk dogs or pet sit any type of animal when needed. I am available weekdays and weekends. I will care in my clients home as if it was mine. I will make sure the pet is always in good hands and has support.

About: I have over six years of experience caring for animals through my long-term involvement with Animal Rescue, Inc. in Pennsylvania. Through this experience, I have worked closely with a variety of animals and developed a strong understanding of their individual needs, behaviors, and personalities. I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care and always prioritize each animal’s safety, comfort, and overall well-being. I have had so many animals during my life such as rats, cats, geckos, snakes, guinea pigs, dogs, fish, bunnies, etc. I’ve always been obsessed with animal behavior and care and this is a great way to learn and experience more while helping out clients and animals! I’m currently enrolled at Carroll Community as a full-time student and I have a job at the local Raising Canes. When I have downtime I try to get out of the house and be active, so walking dogs and providing care fits in well within my schedule. I am only offering visits to others houses/apartments and dog walking. When I am in clients homes, I stay in respected areas as long as the animal doesn’t go somewhere I need to get them for safety reasons. Depending on the animal, I try to get them active and make sure they use the bathroom, especially if I feed them. I make sure I always lock up afterwards and turn off all lights.

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: 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.

“Amber has been a life saver for our happy little family! My husband and I both work long days and at times travel pops up last minute. I was able to request Amber’s help at 3:00 AM while getting ready for a long day and a few hours later Amber had confirmed she could help out. She asked intelligent questions, was prompt, followed directions on home security entrance perfectly, took lots of pictures and spent time walking and entertaining our fur-babies. We will definitely be re-hiring her!”

About: I have my own dog in an apartment complex, it’s very time consuming because you can’t just let them outside. I have been a dog owner for years and treat them as if they are my children. I’m currently a part time server and am enrolled at Penn state. I only have class once a week so I have a lot of free time throughout the week to do anything. I work short shifts as a server, I could still do pet care on days I serve. I live in an apartment complex, my dog is very well taken care of. He’s very well loved, he goes on a lot of play dates throughout the week and lots of walks and car drives. He sleeps in bed with me and has friends that take him out when I’m at work that live with us.

About: Hello! I am Camryn F., I am currently a veterinary assistant at a Veterinary Hospital in Frederick and am in veterinary technician school. I have always loved being around any animal/caring for them! I can commute and I am easy to get ahold of! I am so excited to be helping those in need of a responsible and reliable caretaker. I do have pets in my home, but they are loving and open to meeting new animals as long as the feeling is mutual between the animals as far as drop offs. Although I may only have 5 years of professional experience I have years of personal experience as I have owned various animals throughout my life time!

I have every other weekend off as well as Thursdays. Saturday I have a half day and every Sunday is guaranteed off. I also have major Holidays off.
