Dog Walkers in Charlestown, MD

“Madelyne was great with my high energy golden retriever! She’s very mindful and careful with her, especially on really hot days. Willow loves her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15 years old. Whether it’s a quick check in, potty break, walk, cuddle buddy, etc. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I do work full time, as well as a full time college student. During the week, I work 9:30am-6pm and if I’m working on the weekends it is 8am-4:30pm. As long as it works with my schedule, I’m available! I have 3 dogs and 7 cats. I treat my pets like family. I make sure they’re on a consistent feeding and walking schedule, and I always keep their environment clean, safe, and enriching. I pay close attention to their behavior and health so I can catch any changes early. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just being present, I make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for every single day.

About: I don't have any pets myself, but I have lots of experience with them! I used to have chickens for several years, and I've also worked with horses as well. I gained a lot of experience working in a dog kennel, and became very comfortable with all different breeds and temperaments of both dogs and cats. I also have occasionally house sat for friends and family over the years and have taken care of several senior dogs. I love caring for animals and making sure they get the love and attention they deserve, so I can't wait to take care of your pet! I am now currently available at any time during the week except for early mornings on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and on Sunday mornings until 1pm. Currently I am not able to care for any pets in my own home, but I very flexible and can care for your animals however you wish in your home. I can easily adhere to any schedule you already have set in place for your pet, so any walks, potty breaks, or specific feeding schedules will be no problem for me.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I can remember. I have 5 cats (one senior) and I’m currently training my 6 month old puppy. I’ve watched my family’s pets several times without any issues. I’m working part time right now from home with flexible hours, so anytime you need me, I’ll be there for you and your fur baby. I treat any animal I take care of like my own making sure I go above and beyond for their care. They aren’t humans so we need to be extra sure they get what they deserve.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life, & I can’t wait until I’m in a situation when I can finally have my own dog again. I’m knowledgeable about pet care & animal behavior, have great attention to detail, & enjoy learning more. I love every critter I meet (although I am partial towards chihuahuas & pits) & I have yet to meet a dog that didn’t like me. My family always had dogs growing up, & I have experience caring for a variety of dogs of different ages. I’ve only had two pet dogs that went through their entire life cycle with me, & my most recent doggo was a shitzu who came to me when she was 11. I spent her last few years trying to make her as comfortable & happy as possible. That’s the goal for every animal I care for. While this is obviously a job, & I do need the money, I genuinely enjoy getting to be helpful, to make someone’s life easier, & to, of course, spend time with dogs. I figure if I have to have a side hustle, it should at least be rewarding!! Thanks for reading!! I am a waitress- I usually work full-time, but it’s the slow season & we have a server surplus at the moment. I’m currently only scheduled for 3 night shifts a week, so my schedule is pretty open. Even on the days I do work, I would be able to check-in & care for the dogs before I go in, & can check on them afterwards as well if needed. Basically, I currently have plenty of time to fit in pet care. I am comfortable staying at someone else’s place; it would be nice to have a change of scenery every once in a while. Of course, I will treat your house with respect & be sure to leave it as it was when I arrived! If they wanna chill & sleep, that’s fine with me, but if they’re really active & need to play, I will play fetch & tug-o-war for hours on end. I have a car & supplies to take care of a dog if it is needed (snacks, poop bags, leash, blankets, first aid kit). I’m familiar with dog breeds & behavior & am aware of different training techniques so I’m not worried about being able to manage any dog- like getting them in their crate at the end of the night, or establishing a relationship with them, etc. I will care for your pet the way you want, but above all I will always care for an animal with the utmost respect & love, 💕

About: Welcome and thank you for your consideration! I encourage any questions you may have about the type of care I provide or my experience. I strive to be a dependable, reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgable caretaker. I believe in providing the level of care, respect, and attention to detail that I would personally insist upon for my own pets. Why I may be a good fit for you: ✨ Previous experience working in a veterinary clinic, including administering oral, topical, and injected medications. ✨ Experienced with "difficult" cases such as fearful, nervous, or spicy personalities, senior /disabled pet care, or homes with multiple animal species. ✨ I take on limited numbers of clients at a time to ensure that I'm able to commit undivided attention instead of rushing to beat the clock. ✨ 100% supportive of indoor and outdoor cameras -- the more the merrier! I am a full time, flex student so my schedule is able to adjust pretty well to accommodate all of my client's schedules and needs. I do not over book myself to avoid issues with emergencies, other visits running over time, etc. I do start a timer at the beginning of the visits, but I do not intently stare at it or scramble to leave as soon as the time is up. I have a questionnaire that I ask all current and future clients to fill out. It asks about feeding, schedule, behavior, quirks, exercise, hiding places, trash bins, etc. to ensure that I can be prepared to handle anything that comes up. For example, I follow your instructions to the T with regards to feeding, whether it's wet, dry, raw, mixed, home cooked, or something in between.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m patient with shy pups, energetic with playful ones, and attentive to senior dogs who need extra care. I’m currently only working part time so I have a lot of flexibility to fit in pet care! I am available anytime Monday through friday! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their routine. I provide lots of attention, playtime, and ensure a clean, safe environment. I'm respectful of your space and your pet’s comfort is my top priority.

About: Experienced with young fur babies, senior dogs, zoomies, and cuddle bugs. Excellent at sticking to a routine or just going with the flow! Here to provide ease to you and your fur family when you need a helping hand :) Currently living at home while finishing school, so my schedule is, as of now, pretty open (especially during the summer before school starts back up!). Try to be adaptable dependent on each pet’s personality. May or may not become a slight helicopter parent when providing care. Cute selfies of your fur baby will be taken and sent to you, so forewarning.

“Erica is a miracle! I was worried how long it might take my dog to warm up to someone coming in her home without me there, particularly because she is blind. Erica worked with me to take the time to get to know Ember and fortunately, it took no time at all! Ember warmed up to her so quickly and is so excited when she visits for a walk! Ember and I are so grateful!”

About: im very passionate when it comes to taking care of animals. i also read a lot when it comes to how to take care of a specific pet. however, i can’t say im an expert but i am also willing to go beyond my limit by learning more through experience. i also take notes when it comes to what are the do’s and don’ts of each pet since they are also like human beings that have specific needs. i have experiences in dogs, cats and even rabbits. i currently have a cat at home and 3 rabbits that i personally take care of and i love each and every one of them. rest assured that i will also give the love and safety you’re pet deserves in my care

About: I’ve owned, cared for, researched and trained with dogs since the age of 17. I hold a deep passion for all animals wellbeing and hope to leave my footprints in the world on the care of animals. I have studied animal behavior and wellbeing and hold multiple certificates. Not the mention my personal life experience, owning and loving multiple breeds and ages of dogs. I live in North East, Maryland and left my job as a property manager to pursue my life’s dream as a pet care giver. I spend most my time taking long walks and hikes with my dog and have an open schedule. I have a fenced yard with shade and trees and a three story home with plenty of room. I have pet medical equipment, combs, brushes etc for a happy and healthy puppy. I live within 10 minutes of a centenarian and 25 minutes from a pet hospital if in an emergency.

About: I have cared for many pets over the years whether it be family or neighbors in need but always willing to give my love and attention to all pets ❤️ I am a stay at home mom looking for extra income doing something I love and something that comes naturally to myself in my free time and to help my local friends and neighbors in need. Cats are indoor only in my home and are allowed to free roam with multiple cat trees and furniture that cats need to feel safe, and dogs are walked on leash frequently for exercise and bathroom breaks in a family friendly pet friendly neighborhood with dog park just around corner.

I have a fenced backyard. One friendly dog that loves other dog as well as cats. To keep your fur baby company! I am able to crate your fur baby if needed.

“Lauren was great and a lifesaver. I have a rather flexible work schedule but sometimes I can’t get away from work and have to send a last minute request through Rover and Lauren came to my rescue. I addressed my concerns with her about Zoey and she assured me to not worry because she experienced the same thing with her own dog. She kept me updated and let me know how Zoey did on each walk . I will definitely be booking with her again! :)”
