Dog Walkers in Hancock, MD

“Cheryl and her husband was the kindest people I’ve ever met. I would use her over and over again. Mia loved her. It was a very hot day and they still took her out for a walk. Thank you again, Cheryl!”

“Grace has been a wonderful addition to our fur kiddos lives. We are sad to see her move away and I know Peyton and Liam will miss seeing her every day. Grace is a wonderful dog walker and person. Best of luck with your move.”

About: I've lived with pets all my life and while I’ve only had one human roommate in the last 30 years, I've always had a least one cat up until 2018. I LOVE cats (esp kittens), and am quite comfortable around dogs as well (I love them too, just not in all capitals, LOL). When I first started pet sitting, I thought I preferred cats to dogs, but the past few years have enabled me to expand in my love of, and comfort with dogs (but please don't tell the cats that)! I also used to 'lease' a horse in my youth and have experience with birds, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs. I DON'T like snakes or insects (sorry!) In the last 12 years I’ve volunteered with several rescues as a cat/kitten foster and I'm known to be particularly good with feral kittens and cats. I'm really good with walking (dogs mostly), dispensing medications, and loving attention, but I'm not a pushover when it comes to treats from the table (that's a no-no) staying on leash when required, and letting them know I mean business when necessary. I don't believe in EVER striking or punishing animals and seem to fall in love with them all. I’ve been a house and pet sitter on the site “Trusted Housesitters” since 2018 and have over 21 positive reviews there. I’m recently retired (yet surprisingly busy). I don’t do a lot of night driving, but am otherwise generally available. I’m a stickler about being on time, and keeping dates I commit to. My preference is for cats to remain indoors at all time at my house, and dogs always on a lead when outside. I have a variety of crate sizes here, and am totally comfortable with your fur kids riding in my car, lounging on my furniture, and/or sleeping in my bed. I have all wood floors, plenty of cat litter pans and bowls for food and water. My yard is not fenced but I live directly in front of the Western Maryland Rail Trail, and have easy access to neighborhood parks as well.

“Rebecca gave our two pups walks rain or shine while we were gone on vacation for 10 days. Great communication and she was able to make friends with our little mini golden doodle who barks at everyone! Would definitely consider using Rebecca again in the future!”

About: I have owned many animals throughout my life. I currently have a German Shepherd puppy and two cats. The love I have for animals runs deep. I will treat your animal as I would mine. I have a lot of experience with larger dog breeds and high energy dog breeds. Your fur baby will be treated with love, care, and kindness while in my care. In the future it is my dream to open my own rescue and help all the beautiful animals who have not been shown the love and kindness that they so genuinely deserve to be treated with. I’ve had animals since I was a young girl and I genuinely find comfort being around all fur babies needing my help out there. I am free Monday-Friday after 3:30 pm and any hours on the weekend. Available for evening visits if your stuck at work, getting home late, want to make plans but need to tend to your animals. My animals are family so they are well taken care of at home. I would treat yours the same way and ensure their safety and well being.

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, owner and founder of RogiBear Pet Sitting Services. I am lifelong animal lover with a passion for providing top-notch care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals—both my own and those of friends, family, and clients. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. I’m also comfortable with administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and following any specific routines or training methods you have in place. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I strive to offer peace of mind through constant communication, photo updates, and personalized care. Let’s meet and see if I’m the right fit for your pet’s needs—I’d love to help keep their tail wagging (or purr going) while you’re away! I can offer same day care but please reach out to me first. I work part-time in the mornings on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which means I’ve got lots of free time to hang out with your pets! Whether they need a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m around and happy to help. With a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas during walks, and closely monitor each pet’s behavior and comfort level. Whether it’s keeping an eye on the weather or double-checking gates and doors, I make sure every pet stays safe and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I communicate clearly and promptly with pet parents, provide updates with photos, and follow all care instructions to the letter. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well-being. I care deeply about the environment and try to minimize my impact during walks and visits. I always clean up after pets, properly dispose of waste, and reuse supplies when safe and appropriate. I also support local parks and green spaces so pets can enjoy clean, healthy environments for their adventures.

About: Currently a Vet Assistant. I have become familiar with the body language of dogs and cats of all sizes. Coworkers have relied on me to spend time with their own pets for as little as a few hours to a few days. I always do my best to make sure your pets are as comfortable as I care for them. I have plenty of time on Saturdays and Sundays to play with, watch, or walk your pets as you need. Whether you need me to stop in or have an extended visit! I will maintain open communication and send pictures with how your pets is doing. I will always check to see if there are any hazards before leaving and follow instructions for your pets that you might have.

“Tori is amazing with the pets. My dog warmed up very quickly to her. She has good with communication and very professional. I would highly recommend her. Thanks again for making Jazzy comfortable.”

About: I have been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life. Over the years, I have been a pet parent (or pet grandparent!) to fish, birds, mice, rats, and even ferrets! As the current owner of one rotten Border Collie and six spoiled cats, my pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and stress free when you can’t be there. I would love the opportunity to give your fur babies the love and care they need, and deserve, in your absence. I am currently a stay-at-home wife and the mom of one grown and flown daughter with plenty of time available to take care of you, and your fur baby’s, needs. As a trusted person in your home, careful attention detail and leaving things as they found them is of utmost importance to me! I want you and your fur babies to be comfortable and secure in the fact that I will care for them in a way you would, and carefully follow any care instructions given to ensure their safety, and your peace of mind.

“Genuinely a dog lover. First thing I look for when trusting my baby with someone. I really appreciate the effort and communication Aly puts in. I would recommend her to friends and family :)”

About: I have had the honor of having dogs my entire life. Recently, helped my daughter potty training her last to rescue puppies. They have become protectors of my grandchildren. I'm currently enjoying my summer break and would love to offer my services for walks during the early mornings and evenings. On cooler days, I’m also available for midday walks. Additionally, if you need overnight care, I can provide that service in your home upon request. Currently, I do not have pets in my home, as I do not have a fenced yard that would allow them to safely play and enjoy outdoor activities.

About: I’ve had multiple pets and been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I love animals, I’ve always wanted to get into something where I can take care of animals because they are what makes me happy! I do have some dog training skills to!

I can crate your animals if need be, and I promise I would give them a lot of attention and anything they needed! I currently work Full Time but my schedule is mostly flexible. I’m mostly free early mornings and evenings as my job usually requires me to work midday. I care for pets in my clients home by making sure they’re comfortable with me first, and trying to learn their owners schedules, to keep the animals on schedule. I try to spend as much time with the animals as possible and take care of their needs.
