“She helped us out when we were in such a pinch! We had taken in an emergency foster and he was alone for the day. She responded before 8AM and was there by noon to walk the sweet boy!”

“Alex did a great job walking my senior pup the past two weeks! He's very responsive on the app and was even willing to be flexible on the timing when something came up last minute. I recommend him for anyone looking for a dependable walker. Thanks Alex!”

“Ivan came over for a meet and greet with my dog, who liked him immediately. He picked up the dog at the scheduled time and took him on an hour walk. When I got home the dog was back in his crate and very content. Thank you Ivan!”

About: I have taken care of many different pets over the years and have extensive experience with senior dogs, anxious pets and administering meds or other special care. I love to get to know each pets individual personality and needs. In addition to taking care of my own pets and regular pet sitting, I have worked as a farmer for many years which makes me familiar with a very wide range of animal behavior -- there is very little I haven't seen when it comes to pets! My schedule is flexible right now! For weekday walks or drop in services I am available between 8am to 7pm and on the weekend between 10am to 9pm. For house sitting services, we can work out the right schedule for you pets and other needs. For caring for pets in your home -- I want to understand what your dynamic, rules and routine is and follow that as best as possible so your pet has stability.

“Imani is such a sweet person, I have never used a dog walker before and concerns, but she eased my mind quickly. Thank goodness for Rover and Imani”

“Wonderful dog walker and pet sitter and a true animal lover! She walked my high-energy beagle/hound twice a week for about six months and even took her running, which she loves! She sends pictures every time, which I really appreciate. And she would give my cat some snuggles and attention, too. I called on her last month to pet sit in my home for several days while I was traveling, and she was awesome. I felt great knowing the pets were getting a lot of attention while I was away, and again, the pictures! Sad to see her leave our area-- she is fantastic!”

“Sierra is amazing. She truly connected with our two dogs (both husky mixes), and they couldn't wait for her to arrive so they could on their walks with her. She has a great personality and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a true professional.”

“Maria has been great for me and my dogs. She immediately won them over during our meet and greet. She send regular updates and photos which are much appreciated while I’m gone. I can also tell she truly cares by the questions she asks regarding the dogs needs.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have spent several years caring for both dogs and cats in various settings. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or providing companionship while owners are away, I treat every pet like my own. As having two dogs of my own as they love to go on walks. Being also experienced working with Charm City Groomer and Volunteering at BARCS(Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter) love to walk and pet sit for any dogs or cats. As for out for the semester out of college for now I am free being any time. While having much time in the afternoon and morning could help anyone that would need help with pet sitting or walkers. For the safety is top priority as for I will make sure the pet is safe either outside or indoor having activities to dog either walking ir chilling out indoors.

“Shynia and Bella bonded instantly. Shynia's soft spoken voice, reliability, mannerisms, consistency, and attention to details throughout the entire dogwalk schedule was a blessing. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Shynia for dog walks or any of you pet needs. I have been consistently impressed by Shynia's positive attitude, feedbacks (Rover card updates and verbal updates), and most of all Bella's happiness and comfort when she is with Shynia.”

About: Hello!! My name is Sabrina and I’m currently a 2nd year graduate student at Hopkins. I’ve always been a HUGE animal lover and begged my family to adopt a pet my entire life. Now, I’ve had my family dog for 7.5 years (she’s 8.5 years now), and I am responsible taking her out every morning to do her daily poops, feed her, and play with her when I go back home in California. My friend would sometimes leave her pet at my place when she goes on vacation so I’m comfortable taking care of multiple animals at a time. Many of my friends also own cats and I always enjoy going to their places and playing with the softest animals to ever exist. I’m currently at JHU doing research about effects of microplastics on embryonic development. Since it’s mostly just research, my day is usually flexible and varies. I’m usually free on the weekends other than some Saturday mornings because I’ll be volunteering at community gardens 🐛. I can walk, feed, and play with the pets at home (and will most definitely be sending a lot of photos). I will make sure to let them have fun but also follow all the instructions given as their safety is the number one priority.

“Elizabeth is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and my dog loved her. My dog is somewhat skiddish due to her past, and it's a comfort to know that Elizabeth knows exactly how to behave around and interact with her without scaring her. I know that having Elizabeth come walk my pup midday significantly increases her quality of life. She felt comfortable around Elizabeth right away, and I'm so glad she's available to give my pup some love and enrichment while I'm at work.”

About: My name is Bob, and I have been a dog owner for over 8 years, currently owning two energetic pups, Ellie and Watson! My wife works from home, so someone is almost always home, unless we all go ot in the evening! Our kids are 12 and over, and we all love spending time not only with our dogs(and cats!), but meeting new ones as well. Our rescue dogs, Ellie(18 month old female Australian Shepherd/Catahoula) and Watson(1 year old male Schnauzer/Terrier) enjoy spending time playing in the yard together when weather is nice, or horsing around together inside. They love socializing and playing at the dog park too, so having a 'play date' would be good fun for them! We have free access to water at all times, toys to play with, and healthy treats, if allowed by visiting pets' owners. Feedings for our dogs happen twice a day at 8 am and 5 pm; arrangements could be made regarding your pet's feeding needs, depending on time of day, and length of stay. Walks, playing, and lots of attention guaranteed! We can be flexible to meet your needs; please ask.

About: Hi, please call me Jupiter :) Pets have been in my life since I was six, and in one way or another I've found myself responsible for the care of one since I was ten or so! Whether it be family, friends, or a stray - I adore animals! I pride myself in my approach to pets as I do with children: be firm, but respectful. Understand boundaries and do my best to read the situation with what information I'm given and what I can infer from there. Its always great to immediately bond with a furry friend, but all living beings deserve basic respect and compassion! I've met very few pets I didn't hit it off with, but even my great aunt's black cat, old and cranky as he is, let me feed him and exist nearby without claws (as is his M.O. with anyone who isn't his owner). Long story short, I adore all the fauna earth has to offer and make it my mission to successfully cohabitate at minimum, and a strong bond more often :) I now have a car again! I work 5p to 8p Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 12p-5p Sunday and 8a-8p Wednesday and Thursday! The day time hours are subject to change based on the gig but i'm always off Saturday and don't mind working you and your furry friend into my schedule! Overnights are fine though Id have to leave early on those 12 hour days - coming back after isn't an issue for longer stays! Drop ins are extra welcome at the moment :) While I cannot board, I take care to leave a home as I found it, if not better. I prioritize learning and writing specific safety and miscellaneous expectations for easy access, and default keep doors locked + my shoes off. I also think it's important to not disrupt set routines, so if a furry friend needs to be crated by a certain time, an alarm fifteen or twenty minutes prior is key to be timely and have grace if said pet may not love crate time.

“Britney is amazing! She was super flexible in scheduling a meet-up that worked with my work schedule and Potter loved her!! (My cat, Nugget, even came out to play!) After walking my pup, Britney even played with him, too! Potter would definitely recommend!”

“My pit bull mix Annie has some issues with anxiety and reactivity, but Lindsay does a great job keeping her calm and feeling safe! I know she is taken good care of while I'm at work!”

“Ida had a great time with Lady and when I needed to move walks around a little Lady was very responsive. Thanks a bunch! Will be a repeat customer. :)”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life! Since I was a kid, we’ve always had dogs in the house, and as I grew older, I became the primary care taker of my dogs back home in Texas. I’m good at following complex regimens, from training details, feeding schedules, and medication administration! I’m am very flexible and comfortable around all dogs. I especially love larger pups. I have just graduated undergrad, so my availability has definitely freed up recently! I am available early mornings during the weekdays and most afternoons for both weekdays and weekends. To me, caring for pets also means giving them all the necessary attention! I love interacting with them at home with gentle play. Outside, I love to take my dogs to a park and let them run around and get their exercise. My dogs love to fetch, so I can’t forget to take a ball with me on our walks! I am always watching for the time, making sure that they are eating and pottying on schedule! My ultimate goal is to ensure that a pet is completely comfortable and safe, whether that means running around with them or taking a very calm walk!!

“Thanks for taking such good care of Deuce!”

About: I grew up in a home where we always had at least one dog, and I've been caring for dogs my entire life. As an adult, I cared for an elderly dog through his senior years, including managing his medical needs and ensuring his comfort during his final chapter. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to recognize subtle signs that a dog needs extra care or gentler handling. I've also regularly cared for friends' and neighbors' dogs over the years. I understand that every dog has their own personality—some are energetic and playful, others prefer calm, steady walks. I take time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. For me, spending time with dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely miss and enjoy. I'm reliable, observant, and will treat your dog with the same care and respect I gave my own. I work from home full-time during weekdays but have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on dog walking during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm looking for regular clients who need consistent care, whether that's daily walks, weekend visits, or occasional drop-ins. I live in the Hampden neighborhood in Baltimore and am happy to work with clients in my neighborhood. Walking is something I already enjoy and build into my day, so adding dog walks feels natural rather than squeezed in. I'm reliable about communication and will always let you know if my availability changes. For dog walking, I always ensure dogs are securely leashed before leaving the home and stay alert to their body language and the environment around us. I'm comfortable navigating busy sidewalks, parks, and quieter residential areas depending on what the dog prefers. I follow any specific instructions owners provide about routes, other dogs, or behavioral needs. If watching pets in their home, I'm respectful of the space, follow feeding and medication schedules carefully, and keep owners updated. I understand the responsibility of having someone's keys and entering their home, and I take that trust seriously.
