Dog Walking Gateway

About: Hi! I'm Grace, a lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. 🐾❤️ I grew up on a farm at home with six dogs, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life! Over the years, I've had experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities, from energetic Blue Heelers and Australian Shepherds who love to stay on the move to sassy little Chihuahuas who know exactly what they want! I know that every dog is unique, and I'm happy to adapt to whatever makes your furry friend feel most comfortable. I have experience training puppies, providing senior care, and with anxiety or reactive babies (like my own). Whatever the "How do I explain this to the sitter?" requests you may have, I want you to feel completely comfortable trusting me with your furr baby. Services: Dog Walking 🐕: Fresh air, exercise, and all the sniff breaks they want! I'll match your pup's pace, follow your walking routine, and keep them safe and happy. You'll receive a photo and update after our walk! Drop in Visits 🏠: Whether it's a potty break, mealtime, medicine time, or playtime, I'll make sure your pup feels all the love while you're away working hard for them. I'll follow your instructions, refresh their water, and send you photos and updates! In-Home Pet Setting ♥️: Going on vacation? I'll care for your pup where they feel most comfortable, following their usual routine, playtime, walks, and bedtime. You can enjoy your time knowing they're in loving hands. My promise to you is simple: I'll treat your dog like one of my own. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first, and I'll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, special requests, or those little things that make your pup uniquely them. I'm happy to work with you to make sure they're in good hands. 🐶💕 I'm currently working on my MBA online through the University of North Florida. I'm available Monday-Friday and weekends upon request. My schedule is very flexible so I'm always willing to work with you and yours. I will be happy to take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home and I don't mind doing a little picking up while your away. Any potty or vomit accidents? No worries I'll take care of them.

About: I am a responsible and dedicated caregiver diligent about handling all facets of animal care to promote health and wellness. I have 6+ years of experience in caring for, grooming, and walking pets of all sizes and breeds. Responsible for ensuring the proper care of their pets. Trusted with providing animals the proper medication for their individual needs.I ensure that pets are safe and given adequate attention when their owners are away from home. I can be here for you for many occasions from date nights to full-time set hours, to daily care. I’m a work from home mom! I understand that some things are last minute so if it's late at night or you have an early flight I will be up for you and your fur babies. I offer extended stays as well. My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I have been a dog walker/dog sitter and have been boarding dogs for 6 +years. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! Many people thought my family was crazy for having so many pets, but I couldn't imagine my life without them. They bring so much joy and happiness to my family's life. Seeing their little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I work from home, but I am a mom of 3. So school days I’m up early to ensure your pups get a good morning workout and meal. Whether it’s a run around the neighborhood or zoomies in the gated back yard. Then I’m home all day or my brother is here helping with my littlest one. I have my very own fur baby, but he’s a bit old now so he’ll play when he wants to. My brother is also my roommate so he’s here to help out with your pups as well.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and they have always been a very important part of my life. I truly believe pets are some of the most genuine and loving companions we have, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to follow each pet's routine, and I'm very responsible when it comes to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved. I currently work Monday through Thursday, so my pet sitting availability is: Friday, Saturday & Sunday: Available from 8:00 AM throughout the day, including overnight stays. During these days, I can provide dedicated care, long walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I always follow each pet's routine and your instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and treating every pet as if they were my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust, and I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly gated community that is very safe for dogs to enjoy walks and outdoor breaks. My home is a clean and comfortable townhouse with a fully fenced lanai, providing a secure outdoor space where pets can relax under supervision. At the moment, I don't have any dogs or cats of my own. The only pet in my home is a small semi-aquatic turtle that stays safely in its own enclosed tank. This allows me to give my full attention to the pets in my care while providing a calm environment for those who may not be comfortable around other animals.I have a welcoming home where every pet is treated with patience, affection, and respect. I always follow each owner's care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship, I'll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of love. To help you feel connected while you're away, I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can see that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is for every pet to feel at home and every pet owner to have complete peace of mind.

About: I have owned many dogs small and very large. Currently own a 87 pound dog and a 7 pound black cat. Willing to walk, bathe, play, socialize or simply watch your dog no matter the personality. Flexible schedule and puppies are an absolute yes! I am currently on winter break from my college which means I have full availability for this month and into the next month of January. I'm always in the same room as the pet and ensure food/water is filled and space is clean. The pet is always my priority and I am always trying to get their energy out and get them a nap!

“I couldn't recommend a better dog walker. Her photos and summary of each walk were fun to read. My pup loved her. She was flexible on the time schedule. We occasionally called her to modify the scheduled times and she was very flexible. I was very thankful.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since birth! 🐾 I grew up with at least two cats and two dogs at all times, and I volunteered and fostered dogs at a shelter for eight months while living in Mexico. As a passionate world traveler, I’ve also had the opportunity to meet incredible animals, from kangaroo and koala to luwak and stingray! I truly love all animals and believe pets deserve the same love, patience, and care we give our family. ❤️ I’d love to make your furry friends feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I work as a part-time flight attendant, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting! I’m unable to have pets of my own at the moment, so I’d love the opportunity to give your furry friends extra love and attention while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home! Whether your pet wants cuddles, playtime, or simply someone nearby, I’ll respect their personality and boundaries. I’m tidy, responsible, and respectful of your space, and I’ll follow your pet’s routines while giving them all the love and attention they need.

About: Having owned and cared for dogs my entire life, I understand that pets aren't just animals—they are family. I started pet-sitting at age 10, and over the last 16 years, I’ve gained experience with all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I love staying active and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, structure, and playtime. I’m incredibly reliable, communicative, and ready to give your pet the 5-star treatment I work a hybrid schedule, which means I am working from home the vast majority of the week! This flexibility allows me to easily integrate pet care into my daily routine. I am able to take frequent breaks throughout the day to play, head out for potty breaks, go on walks, and provide constant companionship. Your pup will have plenty of company and supervision while I work Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. Because I am home most of the time, I can closely supervise your pet and stick strictly to their usual routine. I have a huge open field right on my apartment for long, fun games of fetch, as well as access to a great community dog park nearby! Whether your pup loves socializing with other dogs or prefers private, high-energy zoomies in the field, I can tailor our outdoor play to their exact comfort level. I always keep a close eye on play style and make sure all exercise is 100% safe, structured, and supervised. Your dog will return home happy, tired, and thoroughly pampered!

About: I love animals of all kinds and know they’re apart of the family for many. While you’re at work or out and about, who’s to watch the little fur babies? I’ve had personal work with dogs for about 12 years now, both with my own pets and that of family friends’ pets. I’ve worked with cats for about 6 years. I know each animal has their own individual personality and temperament and may require patience, of which I have plenty :). I don’t mind walking pets and or staying in and playing/watching them as needed. Just tell me you and your pets requirements and I’m the girl for the job. Hire me and I can guarantee I’ll provide plenty of play, attention, belly rubs, and of course love to your pets. Hi! I'm Alex. I am a college student currently minoring in psychology. I am very motivated to enhance my understanding of other people and their communication styles, and because I have found cultural exchanges to be some of the most rewarding experiences in my life, I believe that getting to observe other people's homes and lifestyles while pet sitting would be a very insightful encounter. I love to go for long walks no matter what weather, I love nature probably as much as your pet does. In my free time when I wouldn't be caring for your fur babies, and I am a considerably clean individual who has a tendency to clean and organize when she gets bored.

About: I been around and had a dog for most of my childhood. I would feed and walk my relatives dogs when they were away or busy. I do have a full time job, but I want stay busy and have a side hustle. Plus, caring for animals give me joy ☺️ I prefer to take care of your pet in the comfort of your home. A place for your pet that is familiar to them to feel comfortable.

About: My husband and I grew up loving dogs and, in fact, met through our pups. A real life case of puppy love! I grew up raising labs with my parents and through my work abroad have come to adopt two dogs of my own - Chance from Sudan and Mia from Colombia. My husband , David, studied veterinary medicine in Colombia where he has offers private dog training and runs a successful dog school (Gooddog Colegio Canino Campestre) for nearly 10 years. We hope to open a pet shop in MD soon. In the meantime, we hope to make more furry friends part of our extended family here and to save up for this dream to become a reality. When not focused on our dog business, we are proud parents to our own adopted pups and are always looking to take on more. In the near future we’ll also join Guiding Eyes and train dogs for the blind. We are true believers that pets are part of our families and look to take care of each clients’s pet as if they were our own. With us, you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands with a team that has extensive professional and medical experience working with dogs and, most importantly, is passionate about creating the perfect environment for humans and animals to interact. Let us share our love for animals with your family by becoming part of ours. A little about me personally: I’ve worked for the federal government nearly 15 years and take my responsibilities very seriously. I consider myself detail oriented but flexible. I will always do my best to go the extra mile and keep clients informed of everything through regular texts and photos. I’m also always looking to learn and welcome recommendations on how I can grow. Our home in Hyattsville has a fully fenced in backyard with a doggie door for easy access in and outside. We’re also surrounded by plenty of parks and green spaces and, on the weekends, love to explore new places with our pups and their stay-over friends! I have standard work hours during the week and great flexibility on the weekend. I’m on a hybrid telework schedule so the number of days I go into the office varies by week. I’m happy to try to rework my schedule to adapt to the needs of long term care or repeat clients. Our two pups are very easy going and have never had a problem with any other pets. They love the company and vice versa! Pets are able to roam the bottom floor of the house and fenced backyard freely. We also have crates of all sizes for those who prefer it.

About: I have worked in the pet industry for over 10 years and have loved and cared for animals my entire life. The dream is to one day be fully involved with or create an organization dedicated to saving stray and wild animals in whatever way they need. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my fur babies and when caring for yours, I’d consider them one of my own. My dog Lilly is very high energy so she has trained me to love long walks and exercise outside no matter the weather. You can count on my services to consistently exceed your expectations and strive for nothing below excellence when it comes to the care of your pets. Cant wait to meet you all! :) <3 Wether your pet needs a short walk a few times a day or one long walk to get a good exercise, I am fully available for your furry family members! I offer short or long walks, medicine administration, or even do nail trims if needed! My services are flexible to you and your pet’s needs.
