Dog Walkers in Dowell, MD

“Sarah was a lifesaver for a last-minute walk today. She took CeCe out and made sure she got some great playtime as well. CeCe was happy and well cared for, and the updates were reassuring. I really appreciated Sarah’s responsiveness and reliability, especially on short notice. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life! I love them in all shapes and sizes! I recently had to put my my 16-year-old Pitbull down, and I'm looking for the unconditional love a dog gives you. But I don't want one full time. I'm hoping this will satisfy my desire to own a dog. I love them all big and small! I'm retired, I can show up pretty much whenever you need. Would like to keep it between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. I'll give your pet all the love I can while you're not able to. I'll walk and play fetch, I'll pet and scratch your dog, if that's what they like kind of stuff. I'll bring treats with me, of course if that's okay with you.

“We had a last minute trip and Victoria saved the day. She took great care of our dog Poe who has separation anxiety. She made sure he felt comfortable and safe. She also sent plenty of pictures and reported back on how he was acting on his walks which made us feel more comfortable as well. I’d definitely use her again.”

About: I have had animals since I was born. I’ve taken care of. Animals ranging from snakes to rats to fish. I now have six dogs, a cat and some fish.

I have older dogs as well as younger ones and tend to give my senior dogs more love then the puppies because I know they need it (the pups get all kinds of attention).

“I booked Jordan for walks with my senior dog! Jordan is highly organized and comes with great experience. She followed all specific requests and care instructions I had communicated. She took many pictures that showed my dog having a lot of fun and gave detailed write-ups after each walk. Side note: my cat was absolutely obsessed with her LOL. I highly recommend booking Jordan to meet your pets' needs!”

“Good communication. We had coordinated a broader time window instead of the exact appointment time on Rover. She was only going to be a minute or two off the exact time due to circumstances outside her control, but still let me know.”
