Dog Walking in Elkridge

“I needed a last minute sitter and Tabitha came to the rescue. At first meeting her and Scout were fast friends. She did such a great job taking care of him. You can tell she truly takes pride and cares about the furry friends in her care. Thank you Tabitha! I appreciate you and would highly recommend!”

“Tara was amazing! She stopped by our house twice a day to look after our dog and we got such detailed feedback after every walk. We also got awesome photos. She went above and beyond to set him up with his puzzle toy with treats and gave him lots of love. You can tell she really loves dogs! We’ve used rover many times and this has by far been our best experience. We’ll definitely be using Tara’s services again!”

“Priscilla has been watching Jake for almost a month now and she is great. Jake adores her, he loves walking and playing with her, and she takes great care of him. Priscilla communicates very well with me before and after she walks Jake, and she sends several pictures and video. She also asks a lot of questions about any special care or needs Jake might need. I can tell she really cares about Jake, and animals in general, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker/sitter”

“Mel is fantastic with Molly and Buz. She’s very flexible with my crazy schedule and ready to help with visiting family’s pets ranging from an American Lab to a couple of Boston Terriers. She also kept my plants going when I was unexpectedly out of town.”

“Alaina was incredibly communicative and respectful. She took care of Enzo for a whole weekend and made sure I was updated in terms of where she took my baby Enzo and when she fed him/refilled his water. Overall, I 100% respect her for her services and trust her with any pet.”

“He is wonderful! My dog loves him. He does a great job of being friendly and sweet with my animals but also keeps him in-line! He doesn't let him pull or run all over the place! He's also very respectful of my house and towards myself.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hermit crabs, various aquarium fish, and plants to the best of the owner’s instructions and rules. For over 10 years, I simply enjoy being around intelligent loving creatures as I hope they liked me. I am looking to fill up my available time with more companions who are looking to get tons of belly rubs and head scratches (if they prefer of course). I am actively constantly taking care of my roommate’s dog as she is frequently traveling for work and personal reasons. I usually have him 2-3 weeks of a month, about half the year. If not, I drop in and feed/walk/scoop out my neighbor’s pet(s).

About: I've owned dogs since I was 12 years old, from puppies to a 16 year old which needed extra care. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and have a large fenced in yard. I'm able to walk dogs as requested and needed with no issues. I've watched friends and families' dogs when asked to. When you leave your dog(s) with me, they become a part of our family. I'm home each and every day. I have a dog of my own, a husky mix that is dog and people friendly. As long as I'm not away I'm available to care for your dog as if it was my own. I have a large fenced in yard and one dog, a husky mix, who is dog friendly and loves to play. She is crate trained herself but spends more time out of her crate than in it. My neighborhood also has plenty of sidewalks to walk dogs and as long as weather permits I go on at least one long walk per day with my dog.

“Elyssa did a great job woth my scaredy-cat dog. I would hire her for any of the Rover services.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 15 years, when I got a puppy for my kids. A few years later we adopted another dog as a companion. Our dogs are part of our family. I have experience from puppy through senior pup, which includes giving medications. I’ve also worked as a Veterinary Technician and volunteered as a dog walker at a shelter. Both were rewarding experiences which provided me additional practice with sick pet care and leash walking. I am available most days and evenings. I’m available to travel to make home visits, and can walk your pet in your neighborhood or take them to a local dog park or other type of recreation area. We have a gated deck and fenced in area for our dogs. We have one small senior dog who gets along well with both dogs and cats.

About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors since I was about 9 years old. I have been responsible for feeding, bathing, walking their pets & administering medication when necessary. I have experience training dogs at various ages & a wide range of breeds. I have training experience including but not limited to, crate training, potty training, leash training, etc. I have taken care of dogs as small as Shih Tzus to as large as Rottweilers, so I am comfortable around dogs of various sizes. I was the primary care taker for our family's' 2 senior dogs; being sure to give them around the clock access to the bathroom as well as being punctual with any and all medications. My pet care experience is not limited to dogs alone I have cared for cats for friends & family for 4 years. Feeding, playing, changing/cleaning litter & administering medication when needed. I adore all animals and ensuring your pet is loved, safe, and cared for is my top priority. I work 8am-5pm in Elkridge, MD. I have plenty of evening and early morning availability. Depending on location, I am available during lunch breaks for any midday walks/feedings. I want to ensure the pets comfort is the priority. Keeping their routine and providing a loving space while their family is away. Both cats and dogs of any age need ample amount of exercise & affection; even the most independent of animals!

About: Every dog deserves care that feels like home... whether it’s a walk around the block, a weekend sleepover, or a friendly pickup for some mid day tail-wagging fun! I tailor every visit to your pup’s pace, personality, and preferences, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved the entire time. I’m currently co-parenting three fur babies of my own, so I understand the trust it takes to put your dog in someone else’s hands. That’s why I treat every pup like family. Walks with me are never rushed. Rain or shine, we go at your dog’s speed and style, from slow strolls to energetic trots. And when I’m dog sitting, I keep things calm, consistent, and full of affection (and treats if allowed!). Because your dog deserves the best and I love being the person who gets to give it to them. 🫶🏾🐾 I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m able to adjust to your dog’s needs and schedule. I always treat a client’s home with respect and follow any specific instructions provided... whether that’s how to access the home, where to find the leash, or how to lock up after. I take my time getting your pup leashed up calmly and safely, making sure they’re comfortable before heading out. After each walk, I make sure they have water, are settled in, and that you receive a detailed update with photos. I aim to create a smooth, stress-free experience for both you and your dog every time.

About: Working Knowledge of dogs behaviour; training life skills(preparing puppies for life, walking problems, fears); activities as chasing the ball, treat hunt, high jump, relaxation and more. Pet care typically fits into a daily routine by incorporating feeding times, dedicated playtime or exercise sessions, bathroom breaks (like walks for dogs), and brief moments of interaction throughout the day. Beginning and end a day with my pet: morning/evening walks, playtime, feeding. Our own routine: give everything dogs need to be happy while walking, and they can feel calm and satisfied at home.

“I could not be happier with Sam and the excellent care he provided for my dog, Walter! I needed to be out of town for the better part of a week, and having just moved to town, did not have any friends or family to watch after my large canine; Sam to the rescue! I had never used this service or this site before, so initially was a tad skeptical. After Sam's quick response, and then after meeting him in person, I knew Walter would be in good hands. I initially approached him requesting two walks per day, but due to his reasonable pricing, I suggested that I would be interested in adding a third walk every day. Even though I'm sure it was a bit out of the way, he accepted the extra work with alacrity. On top of all this, when I needed to put Walter on antibiotics last-minute, Sam was more than happy to administer the medicine. It was clear from the "Rover Cards" that Walter was getting great walks, and truly first-rate overall care. I would absolutely use Sam's service again, and would recommend him to anyone needing hassle-free, reliable care. I hope he is available if and when I need him again. Thanks Sam!”

About: For the last ten years I have been responsible for my own dogs and those of my family. From puppies to teens, potty training to teething and administering daily medicines, I have seen a lot. I will care for your pet like I would for my own family with love, respect and lots of rubs. I am currently an online student so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule. I like to walk my pups a minimum of twice a day with some added catch and run time in between. I have a fenced in yard and a crate if needed in my own residence. In a clients home I would follow any and all instructions left for me and would otherwise enusre the safety and satisfaction of your pet at all times.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat every dog like they’re my own. Which is with patience, love, and close attention to their individual needs. I have hands on experience caring for senior dogs, dogs with diabetes (including insulin administration), and doggies with anxiety or medical conditions that require a little extra TLC. I’m also familiar with vet visits, oral medication administration, baths, and special diets restrictions. Whether your dog needs long walks, gentle care, medication, or just someone to cuddle with while you’re away, I’m your girl!! Hi there! I’m Sarah, a compassionate, experienced pet sitter and nursing student with a soft spot for senior pups, cuddly dogs, and quirky cuties. With a background in medication administration and daily pet care, I bring not just love but skill to every walk, visit, and overnight stay. Whether I’m giving insulin shots or playing fetch, I meet your dog where they’re at with patience and care. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. I build my routine around feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on the dogs I care for. I’m used to giving meds on a schedule, cleaning up accidents, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s early afternoon walks, late night cuddles, or midday play breaks, caring for animals is something I make time for because I truly enjoy it. <<<<<<Rate Update as of May 11, 2025>>>>>> Due to increased demand and the level of care I provide, my pricing has recently been updated. Thank you for understanding and supporting my small business as it grows! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions about my current rates. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I stick to the pet’s routine as closely as possible, such as feeding times, walks, play, potty breaks, and any meds or special care they need. I pay attention to their body language, mood, and habits so I can adjust as needed and make sure they feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space, keep things tidy, and make sure their pet is cared for just like they would be if their person never left.

About: Experience from new puppies to seniors. I love them all and will treat your fur baby as my own when they are in my care. I currently work from home. I leave for short periods of time to care for other dogs or cats that may be on my schedule. I have a fenced yard in a very friendly neighborhood. Your pup and I will spend time in the yard and go for some walks.
