Dog Walking Bethesda

About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I am also insured! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

About: Friends, coworkers, and family members have trusted me with taking care of their pets over the years. Most of my formal experience with caring for other peoples pets came during and after college, however I was raised around pets (cats and dogs) and learned how to be safe and responsible with animals when I was very little. I am very comfortable with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a good understanding of basic commands and have trained two of my own dogs from puppies. I grew up around dogs and cats (we had three golden retrievers at one point!) and always looked forward to getting a dog of my own. There is something about the bond between owner and dog that is special and unique. I enjoy having this bond with my own dog but I also love meeting new animals and seeing their personalities come out as they get comfortable interacting. I have been exposed to many types of dogs while dog sitting, visiting local dog parks, and traveling with our dogs to pet friendly locations. I am familiar with caring for dogs that take oral medication and/or have health problems such as limited sight or blindness. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about hiring me for boarding, dog walking, check-ins, or dog day care! I am home full time. I have one small child in the home, so any dogs staying with us during the day or overnight would need to be comfortable and well behaved enough to be around a young child. I have one dog in the home who is friendly and well socialized. He takes little to no time to warm up to other dogs when introduced. Your dog will have plenty of space to be comfortable to chill and play! We enjoy spending time outside on nice days. When it is too hot or cold outside I make sure our pup gets playtime or enrichment toys/treats inside. I currently can offer dog walking services, daily check-ins for cats or dogs, doggy day care, and boarding at our home (as long as your pet is a good fit with my dog and a safe fit for a home with a small child). We have a large front and backyard as well as a carport/porch area. There is plenty of space for playing fetch, having the zoomies, or chewing on a treat while getting some fresh air, rain or shine! If your dog requires being leashed/walked when going potty, that is no problem. There is plenty of space to take them around the yard for sniffs and potty, as well as walkable streets near our house, and a beautiful park with a walking trail less than 2 minutes away. Our dog currently follows recall and commands to do his "business" and come back, but if we are caring for another dog we will leash them both or follow the owner's preferences and what they are comfortable with.

About: I’ve grown up with and had dogs for most of my life, and have taken care of cats for the last ten years. I currently have three cats (Ollie, Nell, and Poppy). I took vet assisting classes when I was younger and also have experience working with larger farm animals. I currently work remote full-time from 7:00AM to 3:00PM, but I have the flexibility to bring my laptop with me if extended animal care is needed. I do also go to school part-time in Charlotte, Monday through Thursday. In my home, I have an unfenced backyard I can use for walking and I also have a large dog crate. Because I have cats, I do require that any dog(s) be friendly with cats. If doing an overnight stay at my house, it would also need to be on the weekend (Friday through Sunday) where I would be home all day. In a client’s home, I always follow whatever guidelines are put in place by the owner so the animal(s) can stay in their usual routine with as little disruption as possible.

“She went above and beyond in every way when it came to dog sitting our puppy Mia. Always on time, took her time with Mia, and went out of her way to make sure her needs were met. She did so great that our dog is gonna miss her! Glad I didn’t go with any other option. Brooke is a true blessing!”

“The best because she puts the interest and welfare of the dog first!”

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs for my friends and loved ones! I miss them while in school, and would love the opportunity to take care of your cutie! I am currently finishing up my degree and could use a joyful break. Would love to take your dog on a run/walk that’s already part of my routine. We can both get some wonderful sunlight and photosynthesize 🌸 I have a fenced in back yard and a crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly with all my neighbors having dogs, who at times get taken out for walks around our peaceful neighborhood.

About: I recently relocated from Greenville, South Carolina, to the Winston Salem area. While I'm new to the area, I'm not new to pet care! I've been a lifelong dog owner and have over five years of experience caring for dogs. I'm excited to start building new relationships with pet parents here in Winston Salem. I'm a registered nurse, so providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care comes naturally to me. My career has taught me to stay calm under pressure, pay close attention to detail, and follow routines and special instructions carefully-all qualities that also make me an excellent pet sitter. Whether your pet needs medication, has a specific routine, or simply loves extra attention, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels-from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to build trust so they feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or plenty of cuddles, my goal is to make your pet feel as happy and relaxed as possible. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life! As a nurse, I work only 3 days a week, which means I’m home the majority of the week with plenty of time and energy to care for pets. On my days off, I plan my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddle sessions. Even on the days I’m working, my husband, who has just as much experience with dogs as I do, takes over to ensure pets are safe, happy, and cared for. We truly enjoy having dogs around and treat every one like our own! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! We have a fully fenced backyard in a quiet, safe neighborhood, perfect for pups to run, play, and get plenty of fresh air. Inside, there’s lots of space for lounging and relaxing, and I always make sure pets are comfortable, well-fed, and getting plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or just some cozy cuddles, I follow each pet’s routine closely to make sure they feel right at home.

“This is the second time booking Dinira. It was a last minute booking and she was booked, but was able to drop in to help with my mobility challenged fur baby! Exceptional service and communication!”

About: I'm a country gal from a small town in Wisconsin where we raised sheep, horses, and goats on a 125 acre farm. We had Labrador Retrievers that loved their walks and daily swims, we had spoiled cats that would snuggle on the couch all day next to the fireplace. My first job after high school was working for a small animal Veterinarian. I'm experienced with administering vaccines, SQ fluids, oral antibiotics, etc. I have prior experience as a volunteer at the Humane Society and the Center for Birds of Prey. I currently share my home with a parrot, rabbit, 15 Silkie chickens, and two geese! My specialty is exotics, I have owned snakes, hedgehogs, lizards, and ferrets so NO pet is to strange, scaly, or smelly! I understand the need for routine, animals feeling safe and comfortable in their own home, and am familiar with pet "quirks". Rest assured, nothing will faze me and your pet will be in great hands! Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I am currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule. I'm up plenty early to care for my poultry, so I can accommodate almost any time-frame. I live on 40 acres, so I am familiar with "free-range" pets and ones that need specific, specialized care. I triple check door locks and make sure everyone is safe, safety is my utmost priority!

About: Hello I'm new to the area. Just recently relocated from New York. I've always have had a love for animals and just have always wanted to show the love to other pets as well. I believe all animals big or small deserve the best care possible. Whether its just for the day or while you enjoy some much needed free time on vacation I'm here for your pets needs. I currently just relocated from upstate New York and looking to make new clients. I am working towards being self employed. But currently employed full time and try my best to fulfill everybody's schedule. I care for pets how I would want anybody caring for my own pets. I prefer a detailed list of the pets normal routine and I follow that. When it is comes to giving love and attention to your pets I have you covered. Leash and proper outside produces are important to follow while walking. I would be providing services at the pets home in a familiar and friendly environment.

About: I have been an avid animal lover my whole life and that passion has lead me to multiple careers relating to animal care. I've worked in retail, I've worked in shelters and rescues, and I've even done training and behavior modification. I just love to see that animals get the love and attention they deserve! If you ever wondered who animal professionals hire when they need a pet sitter: it's me! I don't mind working with fearful pets, taking joy in letting them build up trust first. I have a knack for getting animals to come out of their shell and I don't take it personally if they need a little extra time to warm up. I'm comfortable with administering medication, grooming and bathing needs, and I don't shy away from a pet that needs a little extra TLC. With enough lead time, I can make myself available for nearly any kind of care your pet needs. I am flexible with time and dates! Cats and dogs can thrive on routine, so I will do my best to stick to your care schedule! Show me how your pet likes to have things done! Of course, there will always be tons of cuddles and pets no matter what!

About: As a proud pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members! With 5 years of pet care experience and firsthand experience caring for both dogs and cats, I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up, and making sure pets receive plenty of love and attention. I have experience caring for my own Miniature Schnauzer and multiple cats, so I’m familiar with different personalities and energy levels. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat them like my own and provide regular updates and pictures so you always know they’re in good hands!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I have experience caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I have an Aussie doodle puppy. I’m available for drop ins, walks, or sittings. I have a flexible schedule and will be available the majority of the day to care of your pets. If I have to leave during boardings, it will be only for short periods of times which will be communicated to you. I live in an apartment with plenty of space and a dog park. There is a nice neighborhood and park nearby for walks. For sittings at your home, I will respect your space and keep it clean. I have a puppy at home, so I am unable to stay at your home overnight. I will update you with as many photos or videos you’d like!

About: I've had pets growing up my entire life. I love animals and just enjoy being around them and giving them love! I've taken care of several pets for friends and family and just want to continue to do that for others when needed. I have my own business so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available day or night to take care of your furr babies 😊 My own animals are so friendly and loving and my home would be completely safe for ur furr babies but at this time I won't be able to board any pets at my house. This may change in the future.

“Wonderful job!”

About: I have cared for many of my own pets over the years! I have a passion for helping animals, all of the pets I have owned have been rescues of some kind. I look forward to taking care of your pets and having fun with them. Most of the time we truly don’t deserve their unwavering love, but taking care of them is very important! I have experience with dogs of many sizes and breeds. I volunteer for dog walks at a local shelter every chance I get, and I look forward to playing with and taking your animals outside! I am most experienced with dogs, but love pets of all kinds. Also I think it is very important to respect the animals space and home 😊
