“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!!!”
About: I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, caring for dogs of all ages—from puppies to seniors—with personalized, positive reinforcement training. Currently pursuing behavior modification certification, I have experience with obedience training (AKC Canine Good Citizen / Urban Canine Good Citizen), sports (Fast CAT, agility), trick training, scent work, reactivity, and separation anxiety. I also hold canine first aid training and am prepared for emergencies. Friendly, patient, and attentive, I provide tailored care to meet each dog’s unique needs. I can accommodate breakfast and dinner schedules, daily walks, and playtime based on their needs. Whether a structured routine—for training or specific needs—or a flexible schedule for house checks and companionship, I tailor care to fit each pet's routine and the pet parent’s preferences. For Rover clients, I provide in-home care by visiting the pet in their own environment. I prioritize understanding each dog’s routines, feeding needs, and training rules to ensure consistency and comfort. I typically work within the neighborhood or nearby parks for walks, but occasional off-site outings to parks or pet-friendly stores are available if suitable and agreed upon. As I am not currently offering boarding, all care is provided in the client's home, focusing on maintaining a familiar, safe, and enjoyable routine for each dog.
“Rita is doing a great job with Bella. She is very punctual and she keeps me informed about her time with Bella. I can tell that Rita genuinely likes dogs . We are very happy we found Rita and we look forward to working with her for as long as possible.”
“She was AMAZING! I booked her and she walked me through the process, answered any questions I had - took great care of my baby and I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
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.
“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.”
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: 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: Aside from being an pet parent and animal lover all my life I also worked as a dog bather which included not only baths, but also brushing, ear cleaning, nail trimming, nail grinding, as well as providing pets and belly rubs! I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life for my own pets as well as those of my friends, family’s, and neighbors. I'm also familiar with caring for fish, hamsters, and rabbits. I’m available every day except Wednesday afternoons and Friday afternoons/evenings, if you need something outside of those hours I’m happy to discuss it with you! Caring for your pets is what I’m here for! Whether they need a walk, food, water, litter box cleaner, someone to play with, or get some affectionate attention I’m here to provide. 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.

Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.
