Gwen is a great dog walker. She was able to help me out last minute when I had to stay late for a work event. She ended up walking my dog twice in one day. I appreciate the care that she provides for my dog and her flexibility.

About: I am a huuuugee animal fan. I love fur-babies of all sizes and temperaments. I can accommodate almost any sort of schedule and type of boarding; I am pretty flexible. I do everything possible with my baby girl, Rue - a golden doodle of my own whose biggest flaw is that she wants to be everyone's friend, including the cats she grew up with (so I’m sure she'll get along with your pup or cat just great). I have spent some time working in a vet hospital and in a wildlife rescue as well as personal sitting gigs for friends and family - you can trust my care with your pup! I have a condo that can accommodate dogs of all sizes AND everything is doggy-proof. My complex has a very large grassy courtyard and a lake trail less than half a mile away. I am a fairly active individual and will have no problem getting your pup out and playing outdoors or long trail adventures if that’s what they need! I currently work from home and the schedule is flexible - so I am available throughout the day. For visits/walks only, I can accommodate she what your pup needs depending on the drive to get there. 7 days a week In previous pet care jobs, I’ve usually stayed overnight with the pups. I can spend time with them, enriching them with play time or training. I have never had a cause for a health or safety concern in the 6 years I have pet sit and I plan on keeping that intact. My experience in a vet office gives me the knowledge or medication administration if needed, what a true emergency may look like, and how to triage an emergency if one should arise.

Lynnette was so patient with my really scared rescue dog! The dog really liked her even though she's a dog afraid of lots of things, and Lynnette spent some quality time trying to make the pup feel comfortable.

About: I occasionally help my friends to walk dogs and play with them. Since I own two cats, they are afraid of dogs. I can only do drop-in visit or dog walks. I work from home and schedule is flexible. Occasionally noon or urgent meetings come up, otherwise I’m flexible to accommodate your schedule and needs to take care your fur babies! As a pet owner and home owner, I know how I wish others respect and care my own pets and home. Nothing more needs to be said, I’ll treat yours as mine!

Took extra care to help my (very recent) rescue come out of her shell and made sure my gal was comfortable with her. A lot of empathy but still a proper pro with my pooch!

About: Know that your dog is safe and comfortable on their walks in the hands of a qualified, positive reinforcement dog trainer! My reactive-inclusive walks can alleviate reactivity by preventing unwanted habits (barking, lunging, etc.) and encouraging calm behaviors on walks. These walks are great not only for reactive or fearful dogs, but also folks with puppies who want proper and positive socialization, or simply anyone who wants their dog to be in qualified hands. I am currently available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays starting at 11am. Last walk is at 2pm or 5pm depending on the day of the week. I'm happy to provide your pup with whatever they need in your home. I can play with them on leash, or off leash in your backyard. I can crate them or not, give them a Kong when I leave - whatever works for you and your pup!

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have mainly taken care of my neighbors' pets, my friends' pets and of course my own. I have pet-sitted for dogs of all sizes, cats and fish. At home I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, 3 ferrets, a crested gecko and a tree frog. I am reliable and punctual. I am caring and kind. I am also flexible and will follow any schedule or instructions. I am a college student at the University of Maryland and most of my classes are 5 days a week from 3 - 7pm. Besides my class schedule I am very flexible. I will follow any instructions that you provide as they are unique to each pet. If taking care of a dog I will never take them out without a leash or fenced in yard. If taking care of a cat I will make sure to keep them inside at all times. If you need me to take care of a small animal I will always make sure they are in their enclosure before I leave. I am very paranoid and will always make sure your pets are safe.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in high school, and I would love to check in on your pets for a mid-day break, or when you’re away on vacation! My work from home schedule allows me the flexibility to swing by throughout the day. My weekends are primarily spent at home, so I’m available most weekends, too. I treat any clients home with care. I do my best to maintain the same routine for the pet as they would normally have with their parent.

About: I have been taking care of dogs from a very young age. Friends and family have trusted and always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and stay with their pets while they are out of town. I love caring for dogs, it actually helps to bring me a clear peace of mind and releases me from anxiety. Fur babies brighten my day and fill me with joy I love having a companion by my side especially because I don't have any pets of my own currently. I would love to be given the opportunity to care for and nurture your pets! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your pups! I am free 7-days a week, only gone on the weekends for a few hours during the evening. I live in a townhouse and have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run around. I don't have any dogs of my own. I love to go on walks throughout the day in my neighborhood to get some sunshine, so your dogs would be taken out multiple times a day. I can easily crate the dogs if necessary. Willing to do whatever to create a fun, loving, and safe environment for your pups!

Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!

About: I’ve loved pets my whole life! I’ve been a dog owner for 10 years, caring for all their daily needs, and I’ve also volunteered at the Montgomery County Animal Shelter for three years, looking after and playing with cats and dogs of all ages. I provide feeding, walking, playtime, and even basic training. Every pet in my care is treated like part of the family, they’ll get lots of cuddles, belly rubs, games, and love. I make sure they feel happy, safe, and spoiled while I’m with them. Your furry friend will leave wagging, purring, and totally content! I’m currently home from school, which allows me to be very flexible and available most days and times. This means I can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended care as needed. I provide care at your home, following your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, cuddles, and any special instructions you have. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

I can’t say enough good things about Marie! Trusting someone with my dog, Charlie, is like trusting them with my child. My pup is my family and knowing that he is in Marie’s hands gives me total peace of mind. Marie is not only reliable and professional, but genuinely loving and attentive. She treats Charlie with so much care, patience and joy, it’s clear she really loves what she does. Charlie gets so excited when she comes to the door and I just love the pictures she sends while on their walk. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like their own, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Marie.
