Dog Walkers in Friendship Village, MD

About: I have two years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. On top of that, I previously worked in nursing homes, where I cared for elderly residents. This has given me a deep sense of patience, responsibility, and empathy, which I bring into every pet sitting job. Whether it’s giving extra TLC to a senior pup, following specific care routines, or just being a calming, loving presence, I treat every pet like family. I’m reliable, observant, and always ready to go the extra mile to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and safe. I currently work a flexible part time job from home, which means I have plenty of availability to give your pet the attention they deserve! Whether it’s daytime walks or drop in visits I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet you and your pet’s needs. I’m also available on weekends and for last minute bookings, so you can count on me whenever something comes up. I'm here to make sure they're happy, comfortable, and never feel alone. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and fun environment where they feel loved and comfortable. I always follow the pet parent's instructions closely whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or keeping up with favorite routines and toys. I treat each home with respect and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. I also keep communication open with regular updates and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.

About: I am very attentive, responsible, and respectful. I have 3 dogs of my own who I love dearly. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have tons of hands on experience. I have handled one of my dogs giving birth and raised those puppies up until they found their homes. I have extensive medical training and handle pressure very well. I love dogs and love talking them on walks, excursions or simple hanging out at home and giving them love. I’m currently very available and flexible for whatever my clients schedules need. Im doing a remote internship which leaves me very open and flexible to hangout with you pets whenever suits you. At your home, I am very able bodied and can handle any dog you have. I can take them on walks, runs, hangout on the couch and just cater to whatever you and your pet need in the comfort of your home. At my home, I have a great fenced in yard that keeps your fur baby safe and happy. There’s 3 doggies to keep them company too! A Irish setter who is playful and happy, a rescue mutt mix who’s very old and gentle, and a mini Aussie doodle who keeps to herself.

About: In addition to caring for my own pets, I have worked for Waggy Walkys, a well respected pet care company. I had five stars through the system. I have received formal training for pet behavior, emergency protocols, and health emergency protocols. I am currently a college student home for summer and so my schedule is open and allows me to be flexible and fully committed to all of the pets. I will follow any rules established in your home. Whether it involves crating, administering medication, keeping your pet in or outside, etc. I am experienced with dogs of all ages, sizes, and strength levels. I am experienced with cats of all ages, social interactions, and physical abilities.

About: I have had dogs since I was young and have taken care of and pet sat for neighbors multiple times. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies, and am willing and able to work on skills and training such as potty training and basic commands. Currently have an internship where I’m required to go in on Wednesdays so I’m unavailable that day. On weekdays however I’d be more than happy to go check in and play with any animals during the day! I'm also a morning person so I'm happy to wake up early and check on any furry friends before work I've worked in shelters with volatile dogs before so I have been taught the best ways to approach nervous and anxious animals. I would never put (or want to put) a dog in a situataion which they feel uncomfortable or constricted. I make sure to abide by this by being responsive of the dogs body language and general behavior

“Sam is very patient in walking our energetic aussie doodle. He is always on time and gives us advance notice if a slight change in schedule is necessary. Very pleasant to work with. Looking forward to using his services again when the need arises.”

About: Hi there! I've had pets my entire life. I currently have one cat I absolutely adore. When I was a child, I've had a dog, Lucky, who lived until he was 14 years old. I love animals and am experienced with pets of all ages and those with special needs, including administering medications, such as oral meds, eye drops, ear drops, and inhalers. I am patient, gentle, and will provide tailored care to your pet's specific needs and routines. I work part time and have flexible hours, allowing me plenty of time to walk your dog or pet sitting. I will work my schedules around yours to accommodate your fury friend's needs. I'm available for both workdays and weekends. When you book me for drop-in visits, I will communicate with you before and make sure to maintain your pet’s routine to minimize stress. I’ll care for your pet as directed, provide any needed medication, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, affection, and companionship. I will also keep your house clean and send you cute updates, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands while you're away. For a walk, we can arrange a meet and greet first to make sure your dog is comfortable with me before we go for a good walk.

“Carla has been taking care of my pups for awhile now. Unfortunately I moved and cannot have her walk my pups. I highly recommend her, she helped so much with my new rescue pups. They loved her and learned to be good leash walkers. I cannot recommend her enough!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong experience caring for feline and canine companions. Growing up, I lovingly cared for six cats, handling everything from daily feedings and grooming to litter box maintenance. My heart has a special place for senior pets, inspired by my own senior dachshund, Lincoln. His health challenges, from medications to specialized care, taught me the nuances of senior pet care. While my home is quieter now since his passing, it has created a new chapter for me to share my experience and love with your furry family members, offering compassionate boarding services for dogs and cats of all ages and needs. My work-from-home schedule on Mondays and Fridays provides ample opportunity for walks, playtime, and cuddles with your pets during the day. Weekends are entirely dedicated to pet care, whether it's a long walk in the park, a fun playdate, or simply enjoying some quiet companionship at home. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to green spaces for walks. I believe in providing a loving and attentive environment for my pets, which is why I only accept one pet at a time. This allows me to give them all the love, attention, and individual care they deserve.

“Grayson has always been great with our dog, Lily, and we really appreciated her stepping in on short notice to walk Lily!”

About: I am a local professional interested in helping other pet owners with my dog walking and cat sitting services. I was raised in a home with cats and dogs and am very familiar with their needs.

I am energetic and comfortable working with both large and small dogs. I am highly responsible and respectful of both your pets and your living space. I will diligently follow your instructions and keep your pet happy while you are away! Comfortable with providing medications and longer care requirements.

About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs and currently in process to be First Aid certified for pets as well! (As of July 2025) I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! Currently my schedule is very open and flexible. I can accommodate a boarding at my apartment, as well as pet sitting/drop-in visits, as well for all days of the week. *Note for Boarding requests* I have another 4-year old Havanese dog (very friendly) at my apartment. Happy to have another dog for boarding but please read this note before booking a boarding request!** Thank you 😊 First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.
