Dog Walking Great Bridge

“Joey loves loves loves Ms. AKEMI! He waits daily on the stairs looking out for her arrival. When she opens the front door he leaps for joy when she comes to walk him. We are so grateful to have her as our pet sitter. She is so wonderful attentive and loving to Joey.”

About: I’m a nature lover with several years experience working at a vet and boarding facility. I have experience with dogs of all kinds including disabled, senior, and mischievous misbehaving. I’m able to administer oral medication as well as cuddles when needed, and I love doggies of all sizes (even the ones larger than me). I’ve had several pets of my own including a few cats, one pair of rats, and very silly golden retriever. My weekdays are currently free so I am completely open for services Monday through Friday. I usually reserve weekends as time to spend with family while they are off work but if needed I can be available in a case by case basis. Emotional needs are just as important as physical needs. Providing food, water, and a place to potty is the bare minimum! Having cats, I know how much mental stimulation also goes into giving them a happy life. I’d love to know your pets favorite things to incorporate them in.

“Karen is delightful and Hudson just adores her. She was very personable and followed directions for taking care of Hudson to a “T”. I will trust her explicitly to take care of Hudson the Golden Retriever.”

“We've used Rover's dog walking service for the first time and the experiance with Angie was great! She was quick to respond and very pleasant to talk to. Angie was profesional, she took her task above and beyond, spending more time with our dog to make sure he's ok before she leaves. She even took care of our mail! Thank you Angie for your excellent work and dedication! We highly recommend her service.”

About: Hi! I’m Tatum. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs. I have experience house/dog sitting for days at a time as well as dog walking. I’m energetic and can keep up with big dogs. when I have time depending on my work schedule I am able to take requests. I am flexible and willing to change times as needed. I am able to board in clients home. I am able to stop by and walk pets and feed as needed. Available for other requests as well.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and helped friends and family take care of their pets. I house-sat throughout college. And growing up, neighbors would frequently trust me to take care of their pets while on vacation. I’ve looked after a variety of dogs, large dogs (Rottweiler and Goldens) and small (Yorkies and other terriers). I love them all. I’ve personally owned 2 boxers (one of which I rescued) and grew up with Dachshunds and a Scottish terrier. My husband has owned miniature Schnauzers. We are very knowledgeable in a variety of breeds. I work part-time during the week so there may be times where your pet will have to be alone for at least 8 hrs. We are both very active and outdoor lovers, so your pet won’t be cooped up inside all day, unless that is your preference. We have a fenced yard with security cameras. We pride ourselves on organization and paying attention to detail, so your baby will be prioritized and well taken of.

“Morgan was so easy to work with and such a kind individual! This is my first time using a dog walking service. My dog is very shy and timid in nature, but Morgan was very calm and patient with him and also very reassuring towards me regarding my concerns with his fearfulness. Will certainly use her again in the future!”

“Wow- Marcia not only impressed us with her quick and effective communication, but also her impression as a responsible confident Dog Walker! We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I am an experienced animal lover with a lifetime of caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have raised two puppies and owned dogs most of my life. I also used to live on a hobby farm where I fed and cared for chickens, turkeys, goats, cows and horses. Living on a hobby farm taught me a deep respect for animal behavior, routines, and safety. I bring that same level of vigilance and care to every dog that I watch. Over the years, I have provided daily care for my dogs in my household,, including feeding, walking, administered routine care, provided companionship, and keeping them safe and comfortable. I also provided care for my pet Amazon parrot, because I understand that birds have daily routines, needs and personality. ~ I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. Your dogs are family, and I will treat them like family. ☺️❤️☺️❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I'm available for walks and drop-ins. I enjoy making pets part of my daily routine. I provide a comfortable and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow their normal routines, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they receive individulaized care.

About: I have always loved animals of all kinds since I was a child. Any little creature, I would quickly take in and care for. The most precious of all was our sweet mini longhair black and tan dachshund - Willow (aka Snoozy and Lovey), who for 16 beautiful, snuggle-filled years, we were honored to be her mommy and daddy! We got her when she was just 8weeks old from some friends of ours, who's doxies had puppies, and she was our very heart for all those years. We sadly lost our baby November 11, 2025 at 16yrs old. Not a moment of every day doesn't go by where we do not think of her, remember her or talk about her. I am very experienced with the care, attention, and love these sweet babies need from puppies all the way up to senior care. Our baby-girl Willow developed CCD (canine cognitive dysfunction the last year of her life and my husband and I became extremely knowledgeable of the meds needed, traditional meds as well as herbal, along with the various adjustments that were needed with the focus of keeping her happy, comfortable and safe. This has helped me to be able to lovingly care for doggies of all stages of life and various needs. In February 2026, we began volunteering for Chesapeake Humane Society and Chesapeake Animal Services as foster parents. We wanted to share a loving home with animals who unfortunately, don't have what our baby girl had. I have also done pet sitting for quite a few of our friends over the years for a variety of doggies. My husband and I both work from home and our jobs are not stressful or overly demanding. So, it would not be an inconvenience or out of the norm for us to have a furry visitor during the week. Our weekends are a bit busier, but again our schedules are usually flexible, and with sufficient advance scheduling we have been able to sit for our friends, and foster dogs and cats successfully. In my home it is catered to each individual animal, we have a large kitchen area that we use as an introduction to our home, then if the dog or cat feels comfortable, we bring them upstairs with us to sleep in our upstairs hallway or our bedroom (either in their crate, or I have setup a sleeping area in our upstairs hallway with safety gates, also depending on the specific care, size of dog and age). I have never done client home care for pet sitting, but I plan on getting specific details from each client to know their individual pet's needs, comfort level, and any other details in order that their baby is safe, and happy.

About: I have a wide range of experience in caring for 1-30+ dogs at a time. I’ve cared for numerous family and friends’ dogs, hunting dogs, and I’ve worked for two boarding/daycare businesses over the last 3 years. I have experience working with dogs who have seizures, and in administering a wide range of medications. I am a full time student and work part time, so my hours are a little complex, but I’m more than willing to work together with you to try and find a schedule that works for everyone! I can care for your doggo in your home so that they’re the most comfortable, and so they can stick to their routines! I’m happy to run around and play with them and take them for walks; I’m also very happy to be a couch potato with them! I really do care about your dogs and want to give them and you peace of mind when they’re in my care!

About: I've had dogs my entire life and love caring for them as if they are my children. I've had puppies to senior dogs who have passed on, so I am very comfortable with any stage in a dog's life. I treat my dogs like my own children and I know how difficult it can be to find someone who cares for your pets the same way you do, but I promise you that I will care for your pets in the same way I care for my own! I am currently not working, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). Whenever you need me, I will be there. I am comfortable doing whatever you need me to do in order to take care of your pets. I can give your pets any medications they might need as well as tender loving care.

“Haley is the best!”

I have also provided cat-sitting services, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and companionship. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. My schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and check-ins as needed. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets closely during walks and playtime, and providing updates so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual walking routine, reinforce good leash manners, provide potty breaks, and make sure they have fresh water and plenty of attention.

My goal is to make every visit a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pup! I’m a nurse and figure skating instructor with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks and potty breaks while you’re away!

I know how hard it can be to leave your dogs at home, and I want to give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and cared for until you get back! I’ll pick your pup up for a refreshing walk, give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they get a good potty break while you’re at work. Whether they need a little exercise, time to sniff and explore, or just some extra affection during the day, I’ll make sure they feel cared for until you’re home again! I’ll also send you pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry best friend is in good hands. 🐾

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for about 10 years and always make sure they are comfortable while their family is away. I have experience providing medications as well as insulin injections for elderly diabetic dogs. I have recently adopted a dog of my own, Maxx, who is a 1 year old lab mix. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play, but also enjoys his naps and relaxation. I currently work M-F 8-5 so I do not accept all booking requests during the week. My weekends are usually wide open and allow me much more time and freedom to go on walks and regularly take pets out for potty breaks. I do not have a yard at my apartment but I love to be active by taking walks or going on runs, especially when the weather is nice! I have a dog of my own that I crate during the day and have cared for dogs that crate or roam throughout the day.
