About: I have 5 years of professional pet-care experience working in a doggy daycare, along with 10 years of experience providing dog walking and sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, as well as all energy levels — including very high-energy dogs. I offer dog walking, playtimes, and dog sitting. I love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I have experience administering pills and am open to learning how to care for dogs with additional needs while carefully following their specific care instructions. I’m a student at Towson University and a mom, so my schedule is planned around my classes and family responsibilities. I’m happy to communicate my availability in advance and work with you to find times that fit your dog’s routine. I’m flexible with walks, playtimes, and sitting, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your dog’s usual schedule and daily routine. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have experience caring for dogs in a professional daycare environment. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, including dogs who need lots of exercise and stimulation. I always follow the owner’s instructions and pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs while they’re in my care.

“Fantastic job! I felt at ease and happy with Kaitlyn, especially because she has experience with anxious dogs like my Effie. She did a wonderful job. Highly recommend!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Molly was very patient with my questions. We’re still working on training with our dog and she gave great feedback on how the walks went. We appreciated her being flexible with some schedule adjustment and will definitely use her again.”

About: *I recently got a new Puppy - Andy 🐶! At this time, while I’m working with getting Andy used to dogs and training him, I can only accept dogs up to 20 lbs.* I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and it’s still one of my greatest joys. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to two pups: Roxy, my 16-year-old toy poodle with a sweet but sassy senior personality, and Pickles, our affectionate long-haired Chihuahua mix who loves everyone—dogs and people alike! Over the years, I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs with different temperaments and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and giving each dog the attention they deserve. I love going on walks and always enjoy bringing the dogs along for fresh air and exercise. My family enjoys having a house full of furry friends. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like part of the family in our home. I work from home, so when I board dogs, I am available to them all day and night. I also have my summers off, so I can make even more time for the dogs I walk or board in the summer months. In my home, safety and comfort are top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, and I’ve set up gated areas inside to provide quiet or separate spaces if a dog needs downtime. I have two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups, and my two children are gentle and respectful with animals—they love helping give our furry guests lots of attention and affection. I always take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet space, I’m here to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

“Heather and Jennifer were genuinely kind, caring, and attentive to Gizmo and Cinci, who are senior dogs. This is my first time in 14 years using a dog walking service for the boys, and I am really happy that I chose them. They were very professional, responsible, and reliable!”

Michelle F.

“Our dog can be very nervous around new people, but Maria was so willing to put in the time to let him get used to her. He warmed up fast to Maria and was always so happy to see her. We feel very lucky to have found a new friend for our dog and such a reliable dog walker!”

Allison C.

“Cassandra was awesome! She arrived on time for each walk. Koda was ready to relax after his walks which is important for a husky:) I'll be asking Cassandra again when I'm not able to give Koda his daily walks.”

Debbie H.

“Adriane did an outstanding job befriending, walking, and playing with our ambitious Aussie while we traveled for 2 weeks. Will eagerly book her again!”

Tim R.

“Paige is great! Highly recommend.”

“Tiffany has been great. Our Molly warmed to her from the first moment she walked through the door. Molly is good with most people, but sometimes she takes a moment to work up to it. Tiffany must have given off great vibes because Molly treated her like one of the family the first second. Tiffany is communicative and reliable and most importantly, our dog is happy to see her every time. We have no doubts that our Molly is well taken care of and gets everything she needs. We cannot recommend Tiffany enough.”

About: As a passionate and young dog lover, I bring youthful energy and genuine care to every pet I work with. I’ve grown up around animals and have had my own so trust me when I say I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with each pet individually, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy in my care. Animals naturally cling to me because they know the love and care I have for every single one of them in my heart! For about two years, I worked at a dog park called Bark Social. There I was able to learn the tendencies, Behaviors, and needs of almost every breed! They gave me the training I needed to successfully clean after dogs, de-escalate situations, and properly manage them. I’d love to carry that knowledge over with your baby! Whether it’s providing extra attention to a playful puppy/kitten or offering gentle care to a senior dog/cat, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each of my furry friends. I understand the importance of trust and reliability, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s overall well-being is my top priority, and I’m dedicated to making sure they have a positive and enjoyable experience every time we’re together. I work a part-time job from home, so I have all the time in the world to interact and enjoy the company of the little fur babies! I am able to provide all of their needs and wants whether it be a stroll in the park, or playing fetch in my living room, I'm down for it! When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your baby or watching them in your home, I ensure that they are always in a secure and comfortable environment. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences, specifically to make sure they feel safe and at ease. In your home, I'd follow your guidelines closely, maintaining your pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress on both ends. I make sure their space is safe, free from hazards, stocked with everything they need, and clean! From fresh water to their favorite toys, everything will be provided. If I notice anything out of the ordinary, I communicate promptly to keep you informed. When walking or caring for your baby outdoors, I prioritize their safety by using secure leashes, avoiding crowded or dangerous areas, and being vigilant about any potential risks. I’m always prepared for unexpected situations, carrying essentials like waste bags, water, and first aid supplies. Building trust with both pets and their owners is key, so I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and caring. You can count on me to treat your pet with the same love and attention I’d give my own, I'd show them the same respect and care.

“Jennifer is an excellent and reliable individual to hire for all your pet walking and sitting needs! Always on time, responds to messages quickly, and puts in the extra work to show care for animals above and beyond a walk.”

About: Here for your last minute doggy daycare & boarding needs! Greetings! My name is Trishelle & I look forward to meeting your furry acquaintances. I'm a dedicated and experienced small dog caregiver with over 3 years of hands-on experience providing personalized care for pups of all temperaments and energy levels. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, or doggy daycare, I treat every dog like family — because they are family. My specialty is caring for small breeds, and I understand their unique needs when it comes to exercise, attention, safety, and comfort. From daily walks and cuddle-filled playtime to stress-free overnight stays in a cozy, home-like environment, I ensure your pup feels secure, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am dependable, trustworthy, accommodating and flexible. Please inform me if your pet has specific needs such as a walking, food and allergies. I have a 2 year old miniature dachshund that is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs. We look forward to meeting you soon! Pet care is a central part of my daily life — not just a job, but a true passion woven into my routine. Each day is thoughtfully planned around the dogs I care for to ensure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Mornings typically start with walks or breakfast for any boarding or daycare pups. Throughout the day, I schedule drop-in visits, enrichment activities, playtime, and potty breaks based on each dog's individual needs. For daycare dogs, I maintain a structured yet relaxed environment with plenty of cuddle time, short walks, and rest breaks to keep small dogs feeling safe and content. Evenings are often filled with winding down, dinner routines, and sending photo updates to pet parents. I also build in time for cleaning, prepping meals, and maintaining a calm, cozy home environment. Because I focus exclusively on small dogs, I can tailor my routine to their specific needs — whether that’s a midday walk, medication, or just sitting with a lapdog who needs some company. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my schedule — it is my schedule, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I care for my pets with the same love, attention, and consistency I’d want someone to give mine if I were away. That means providing a structured daily routine with regular meals, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I focus on creating a calm, clean, and safe environment, paying close attention to their behavior, mood, and health. Whether it’s keeping up with grooming, giving medication on schedule, or simply spending quiet time together, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and part of the family. I also believe in understanding each pet’s personality — some love to play, some just want to snuggle, and some need a little extra patience. I adjust my care to suit their needs, always leading with kindness and respect. For me, pet care isn’t just about meeting basic needs — it’s about nurturing trust and building a bond that makes every pet feel loved.

“Great meet and greet! Looking forward to having Carrie take Toshi on walks!”

About: Hii furr-friends & furr-parents 👋 . I’ve missed everyone oh so much and now that have more free times, I’m ready to start watching all the babies again. It’s been super lonely since we took a break from watching pets but we are back and soo excited ❤️ Here’s a little of our back story. I’ve been caring for dogs at home for about 7-8 years now. It really is a passion of mine. I’ve always like having a place complete different then an actual kennel. I always wanted something warm and cozy for my baby girl when boarded her, so I started doing this and absolutely fell head over paws inlove. Last year I lost Raven from cancer. This was the most heart breaking thing I have ever been through. I needed a break from the world. But now I’m really to be around all our friends again. I work in the mornings for a few hours while my fiancé is working nights. It allows someone to be home all the time with the animal. I have a fenced in yard and two for babies to keep your pets company. I can also keep them separated if necessary. I also have extra crates in needed.

“Lori is very caring! She was very accommodating last minute and I’m grateful for her time with my fur babe.”

Kasey S.

“He is great with my pit bull mix. My dog can be very energetic and pulls when new people walk him. However, Andrew has never had issues handling him. I specifically only request Andrew to walk or dog sit, because he is great with my dog. I will continue to use him in the future!”

Erica R.

“Alex was Amazing with my pet, so Amazing that my dog was confused to see me. She was like where is Alex lol. Very professional, he updated me with pics which was very nice. No issues. I will book him for all my trips from now on. Great walker.”
