Dog Walkers in Dares Beach, MD

“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!!!”

“Maria is an amazing dog walker! She was incredibly helpful when I was sick, even coming on late notice to make sure my dog got the walks he needed. She’s responsible, communicative, and truly cares about the pets she works with. I’m so grateful for her help and highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had pets and cared for animals since I was a kid. I appreciate the need to know your pet is being cared for when you are not available. My wife is a teacher so she is available all summer and holidays. I have the ability to telework given enough notice. We’ll do what we can to make sure your pet gets the care they need. We crate our dog while not home so I can take care of that if necessary. Our kids love animals and would be willing to come with me to get your pet some exercise and interaction!!

About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.

“Bre has a pleasant personality. My dogs immediately took to her during the meet and greet. She came and communicated as anticipated. We had a positive experience”

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s pets all my life and am happy to take that experience and apply it as I care for your pets. I have a very flexible schedule, regarding time and days of the week. I am willing to work with each client individually and am happy to further discuss over a meet and greet. The safety of the pets I care for is of the utmost importance. Your trust (as well as theirs) and peace of mind are crucial for a well working relationship.

“Absolutely hope to use Beth again for my doggos Gonzo and Charlie. Beth took both dogs on a 1 hour walk through the ACLT for me while I was out of town so that they got some good fresh air and burned some energy. She was super communicative with pictures and updates. Gonzo is reactive and so it can be a big challenge walking the two dogs at once, but she managed like a pro. I knew they were safe and having fun with her, which is all a dog mom could ask for. Thank you Beth!!!!”

About: I've had dogs all my life. My world isn't complete without a dog or three. I'll spoil your fur babies and treat them like my own. I work full time shift work, mostly nights, and my work days aren’t set. Please just send me a message and I’ll help any way I can. I'll respect your home and privacy and love all the fur babies as my own. If your pet comes to my home for boarding or day care they will be treated life family. My dogs and cats have full house access except the laundry room. They sleep in bed with me and get on the furniture. I have a fenced in yard for them to enjoy. I have a dog with chronic conditions so I am familiar with recognizing changes from the norm once I get to know a pet.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so I have a lot of experience taking care of them. We are huge dog lovers in my house, so no dog is too big or too small. I volunteered at the Humane Society for about two years in high school. I would visit on Tuesdays and Thursdays to help clean the kennels, walk dogs, wash dogs, have play time with them in the office, as well as participate in adoption events. Lastly, I do have experience pet-sitting for multiple families and have two dogs of my own. I would love to be able to watch over your furry friends or take them on walks whenever needed, so that’s why I provide such a flexible schedule! I graduated from the University of Tennessee in May and now work from home running my marketing business, Lawson Marketing. I have plenty of time throughout the day to stop by for visits or to take dogs on walks, especially since I have a puppy of my own that needs to go out frequently. My services include drop-in visits as well as dog walking. I want to cater to each family's and their pet’s unique needs, so I strive to provide special care for each and every dog. I will prioritize their well-being by following any routines as well as adhering to any special needs. Another big factor that I will prioritize is communication. I want every family to know that their fur babies are in great hands!

About: I've been around animals all my life, and care for every single one that comes across my path. I have 4 animals so far that are living healthy and happy, and regularly babysit my neighbor's animals for weeks at a time. I wake up every day to my cat, and I want to extend that love to more animals who need that care when their owners are a little busy! It comes as a second nature to me, and I think about how my animals might be impacted by the actions I make, for example: I can never leave drinks on the counter anymore because my cat learned she likes coffee. Not anymore of course! I respect boundaries of animals and owners alike, whether that be physical such as a room not to enter or mental such as a certain word that an animal doesn't like to hear. If I am provided with rules I will follow them like a mantra.

“Thank you so much!!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have had animals in my life & have helped take care of them. From a young age, I helped my parents take care of our cats & dogs by being responsible for feeding them & making sure they have access to clean water. As I entered elementary school, I helped my parents take care of our neighbors pets while they were out of town & then eventually took over these responsibilities on my own. Most of my expereince throughout elementary, middle & high school involved pet sitting for cats as those are the animals most of my neighbors & extended family members had. However, during my first summer in college I began working for my county's humane society! My county's humane society only rescues & houses dogs. My employment with the humane society gave me the opportunity to work with a variety of different dogs as you can imagine. I now have expereince working with & caring for dogs of all breeds, ages & temperment. During my time with the humane society, I developed special skills including taking care of puppies, caring for senior dogs, & interacting with dogs who have temperment quirks. I have worked for the humane society for 4 years & during this time animal rescue & care has truly become my greatest passion. I look forward to applying the expertise I have acquired when it comes to taking care of your furry family members! I just recently graduated from college & am now back home for a few months before I start my career. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time & flexibility when it comes to caring for your animals. I will make the most of the areas you have accessible to your pets when caring for them. My work at the humane soceity gave me valuable training when it comes to recognizing & responding to emergencies if they were to arise.
