Dog Walking Green Valley

About: I'm an empty nester specializing in large breed dog care (along with everything in between❤️) I offer early morning, late night, and weekend availability and lots of flexibility. I have over 20 years of regular early morning walks with my own dogs and my clients’ pets. I understand and value the importance of being outside with our best friends. Our pets are part of our family and would treat yours the same. I currently have two Shiloh Shepherds, Echo and Arya, along with my “Granddog”, Zorah, a Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix, with all three of them weighing over 100 pounds. I treat them with the best care and travel with them whenever I can. I have a home in the woods with 13 acres along the Monocacy River. It is a dog heaven for our pets where we hike, walk, and play in the water and in our the woods every day. I have cared for my own family dogs for the past 21 years, with my first dog being a German Shepherd. They are a blessing to our family just as yours is to you!! I am attentive, flexible, and consistent, making me a confident dog (and cat) handler. Having confidence as a pet care provider allows me work with you to love and care for your pets so that when you need to be away from home, they are still peaceful, safe, and well-loved. I have a totally flexible schedule that allows me to housesit and do daily drops ins and walks throughout the day, week, and weekends. I’m an experienced dog walker walker with a regular pet schedule that allows me to work around your needs. I can handle any size dog and any age pets. I’m reliable to adhere to your pet’s need and schedule. I know the importance of being outside every day and of providing a consistent and enhanced life experience for our pets.

“Met Nicole for the first time today. She was punctual, very professional, kind and the dogs seem to immediately love her. I'm looking forward to having her back for more walks.”

About: I have had several pets through my life and all have had different personalities. Adapting to them to make them comfortable is important. I also have helped family take care of their new puppies. I’m very comfortable and understanding when dealing with puppies. Currently I can do any time! I don’t mind having an early morning or late night drop in. I am very flexible and want to make this easy for YOU! Just communicate what you need and it’ll be great. I want the animal to be as comfy as possible. Sometimes their human leaving can be stressful! I want to meet them where it’s needed. Not have their routines thrown off.

“Christen responded to my request promptly and I was able to set up a last minute walk fairly quickly with her. She arrived on time and kept me informed of everything during the walk. I ALSO really appreciate her making arrangements to come with someone else when she wasn’t feeling too well! Definitely recommend her and will book with her in the future!”

“Michelle understands how to work with dogs, even large lively ones. She’s professional, reliable, and communicative. She is also so affectionate with our dog, which meant a lot to us (and him). Highly recommend Michelle!”

Lindsey L.

“Lily is responsible, communicates well, and really hit it off with my dog! I recommend her.”

“Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs both big and small and cats throughout my life. I have a very patient and gently approach to animals needs. I am currently on summer break from college (UMD), and would love to spend my time with your animals whenever is best available for you! I am very schedule oriented in my own life, and am the same way when it comes to pets. I will make sure they receive everything they need promptly and efficiently.

About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.

About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life whether it be the 2 dogs that have been part of my family or taking care of neighbors dogs when they are out of town. I currently work part time so my schedule for pet care is very flexible and I would be available at most hours of the day. I have experience taking care of older dogs who just need someone to hang out with and I’ve taken care of younger hyper dogs that warrant extra attention. I am comfortable walking dogs on and off leash and crating them if need be.

About: Have had dogs all my life, small/large and medically complex needing meds, love to train, have done cat sitting for medical cats and normal ones I am currently a student in college but only have 2 classes a per week, also am active and am willing to change schedules around :) I am currently not taking pets for boarding as I have my own dog now, but would love to take care of your pets at your home and provide them with enrichment whenever you need/want.

“Rosie does very well with my friendly but reserved older husky but also with my wild and crazy 2-yr-old foster dog. Two very different types! Looks like she can deal with most anything.”

About: I have a deep love for animals and extensive experience caring for pets, particularly cats, including my own beloved indoor cat. I understand the unique needs of pets, from maintaining routines to ensuring their comfort and well-being. What sets me apart is my genuine attention to detail and personalized approach. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, preferences, and quirks, providing care tailored to their specific needs. Additionally, I excel at creating a calm and safe environment, whether it’s managing high-energy moments or helping pets adjust to new surroundings. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a therapist who works from home, I have plenty of time and attention to dedicate to pets. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, whether it’s for feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. If your pet needs care in their own home, I can easily carve out time to visit and ensure they’re comfortable and well taken care of. Your furry friends will receive the attention and affection they deserve, with the added bonus of a calm and caring presence in their routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I create a secure, pet-friendly environment where they can feel comfortable, relaxed, and free to be themselves. I ensure that all areas are safe, clean, and free of hazards, and I closely monitor pets to ensure their well-being at all times. When caring for pets in your home, I make it a point to respect your space and follow any specific instructions you provide to maintain consistency in your pet’s routine. I’m attentive to their needs, ensuring they feel secure while you’re away. You can trust me to provide updates and communicate regularly so you’re always in the loop. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved and cared for in a safe and nurturing environment.

“Mia was fantastic! She accommodated our last minute booking with great communication and went above and beyond to take care of our puppy Hank. 10/10 recommend!!”

About: Worked at Warrior Canine Connection as Canine Care staff, taking care of service dogs in training and new puppies! Kennel cleaning, walking, feeding, and some training and basic medical care. I am currently free all day! I can walk and do drop ins whenever you need as long as it is after 7 am and before 11pm. I give animals the time they need to warm up, and have an overall understanding of different body language. I am an aspiring veterinarian and believe that good animal care including exercise and nutrition (as well as some good cuddles) are key to a healthy pet.

“I have been extremely satisfied with the dog walking services provided by Cornell over the past months. He has consistently demonstrated exceptional reliability, arriving punctually for every scheduled walk and maintaining clear communication throughout our arrangement. His genuine care for my dogs has been evident in the detailed updates and photos he shared after each outing, ensuring they received attentive, safe, and engaging exercise. I highly recommend his professional and trustworthy services to any pet owner seeking a dependable dog walker.”
