Dog Walking Colesville

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with over 25 years of caregiving experience. I have had dogs almost continuously since kindergarten ranging in size from a 5 lb poodle mix (Trooper) to a 95 lb yellow lab (Nala), in addition to 3 years as a parent to 2 cats, Jules and Gemini. Jules was with us only briefly due to her advanced age when she was adopted, while Gemini is a much younger kitten who wasted no time claiming my home as her own. I also recently lost my 10 year old corgi (Sadie) unexpectedly to an extremely aggressive form of cancer, and so would love the opportunity to spend some therapeutic time with your furry kid. Prior to beginning work through Rover, I have several years of experience caring for cats and dogs for a variety of friends, family, and neighbors including everything from drop-in visits and dog walking to full-time house/petsitting. Outside of my petsitting duties, I am a PhD chemist working hard to make the battery in your phone last longer and your electric car drive further. My wife and I moved to the Silver Spring area in 2024 for her job as a television producer and I am in the process of establishing myself in the DMV research community. Availability: Except in special cases, I am available for booking at any time of day, any day of the week. I am happy to provide everything from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays. I am currently working part-time from home, so I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets at any time! This can include drop-in visits to your home, overnight stays with your fur baby, and day-care or boarding at my home (as long as they're friendly with my cat Gemini). I am glad to visit your home as frequently as you prefer. All visits will include checks for water quantity and freshness, any prescribed food refills or walks, and of course play time. I'm also happy to provide overnight care for your pets and home if preferred, please send me a message if you are interested in more long-term visits. I'm also very happy to host your pets in my own home! I have plenty of room for cats and dogs up to 50-70 lbs. Both my wife and I have had pets our entire lives and between the two of us, someone is nearly always home to supervise and provide any needed care. Since I live in an apartment complex, I do not have a private yard but do have plenty of communal space for walks and other outdoor activity.

About: Hello, I’m new to the app and am looking to make some furry friends! I am a true dog lover and enjoy adapting to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m a very active person who loves being outdoors, so I’m always happy to go on long walks, play, and keep energetic dogs engaged. At the same time, I’m patient and calm, which helps dogs feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether your dog wants an adventure or just a companion to hang out with, I’m happy to be exactly what they need. As a recent college grad, I currently have a very flexible schedule, and I am taking some time during the summer before starting the next chapter of my career pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being outdoors whether it’s going for walks playing or simply keeping a pet company care for animals is something I find rewarding and look forward to. When caring for pets, I like to follow the routine they are already used to so they feel safe and comfortable. I thrive with structure, so I appreciate clear instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications for feeding, or any special needs. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, my goal is to be present, attentive, and give them the care they need.

About: I really love animals from the bottom of my heart, I have a lot of patience, a lot of dedication, and a lot of love to give them. I have a big backyard for them to go potty and to have fun in. I'm available all day to play and take perfect care and house them with the basics. I can take pet care all the time and, if in any circumstances i cannot, i will remove that certain day off my schedule I have a very large backyard for them to play in and a large house in general thats very spacious for the dog/s. our house is air conditioned, our backyard is semi-fenced, and our patio is fully fenced

“Anton has been walking our Pittie, Mihoshi, for months, and he is an excellent walker!! He’s very attentive to our pup’s behavior and communicates thoroughly. If we ever need to make adjustments, he is flexible. If he has upcoming plans, he informs us weeks in advance so we can work out the schedule together. I couldn’t recommend him more if you’re looking for a walker or sitter for your furry friend. :)”

About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I provide personalized attention and care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I've successfully raised three well-behaved puppies, teaching them essential skills like leash walking and basic commands. I'm skilled at recognizing individual pets' personalities, quirks, and habits, and providing gentle exercise, playtime, and specialized care as needed. Your beloved companion will receive the love, attention, and expert care they deserve. As a stay-at-home mom, I've got plenty of time to hang out with furry friends. My two dogs keep me company, and we spend our days playing and chillin' in our big backyard. I'm all about providing a comfy and loving space for pets to relax and have fun. Your pet is welcome to join the crew and get all the snuggles and playtime they deserve! When pets stay with me, they get to enjoy the ultimate flex: coming and going to our fenced yard as they please through the doggy door. My securely fenced backyard is their playground, and they can soak up sunshine and fresh air whenever the mood strikes. I'm all about keeping things consistent, so I stick to a routine that includes scheduled meal times, two daily walks, and plenty of playtime and snuggles. Whether we're hanging at my place or yours, I've got everything covered to ensure a happy, relaxed experience for your furry friend.

“Sydni is amazing with my dog and cat. My dog has a habit of hiding under the couch despite the meet and greet. She loved Sydni. Anytime one of my pets had an accident, she went above and beyond to clean it up. Great with communication!!! I.”

Ossob A.

“So thankful for the help! They were all great pics, and you were extremely punctual. I also really appreciated you stoping by for a meet and greet in such short notice prior to us leaving town. Thanks again for everything!”

About: I love all kinds of pets but dogs speak my language and I care for them having fun and being safe in their home. You can trust me. I am currently off for a month, then bust Monday- Friday for 8 weeks then just doing school so should be free for the most part. I take care of them they way the owners want but I do my due diligence always to keep myself and the pups safe. Safety is my first priority.

About: I have been taking care of my family friends' pets since I was 10. One of those family friends had a chicken, two cats, 1 dog, 2 bearded dragons, hamsters, fish, and a turtle (not to mention a garden to tend to!) all in one go, and I was the one that was called to take care of them all when the family was out of town. I also cared for a 17 year old cat, making sure to give her the medication she needed in a timely manner. I helped my friend care for and train their puppy when it was 10 weeks old, which included socializing it in a variety of situations. Most recently, I took care of my friends axolotl, which had its own specific needs. These experiences have definitely taught me the joys and responsibilities of caring for a pet. Any pet care would easily fit into my everyday schedule. I am currently not working so I am quite flexible every day of the week. I already go on walks at least twice a day, which could easily include a dog by my side! There are trails by my house that I typically love to go to, and beaches where I am a regular. We are a very pet friendly household. I have an entire empty bedroom for a dog to play in or to put their kennel, if they are kennel trained. We do not mind having dogs on the couches in the living room and porch. I spend a lot of time in common spaces already and so much of my time would be spent with the pet, either playing with them, or in their company if I'm working on things on the computer.
