“Nia was wonderful with our 5 year rescue. Our dog can be a bit fearful and nervous around strangers. During the initial meet and greet, Nia spent over an hour building rapport and trust with our dog which was awesome. She tried a lot of different strategies and finally got her comfortable enough to go out for a walk, which was no mean feat. Nia was also very communicative - keeping us updated if she was running late. She provided detailed updates and photos on the daily Rover cards which kept us informed and comforted that our doggo was well taken care of while we were away.”

“A big thanks to Tabitha for coming out last min. Coda is super friendly and loves everyone. The walk was not far in distance especially for being an hour but I know he appreciated being out for a while. Thanks again for helping out and thanks for pictures!”

“Victoria has been excellent to work with and Has great customer service. She goes the extra mile to ensure the provided service is completed. We plan on continuing to utilizing her services.”

“Ryan went above and beyond for our sweet doggo. He matched her pace and was attentive to her needs. Highly recommend! He will be a regular walker for us when needed moving forward.”

“Fennel is an outstanding sitter! They always keep me informed about the status of my pet and provide feedback and photos even when it is just for a short walk. They were also extremely helpful and reliable when I booked them for an all day stay. Highly recommend!”

“Ryan was amazing and friendly with Hugo. I appreciate that he was communicative and on time. He sent plenty up updates and photos. I appreciate his patience with my hyper dog and he was overall very pleasant, I intend to use him again.”

“Kaitlyn has been walking our Dog since we brought him home a few times a week. She has been great with him, always sends pictures and spends some time with him in the house when they are done with their walk. Highly recommend!!”

“Jeanette is such a blessing to me and my little guy Romeo. She took care of him for four days while I was traveling out the country. Jeanette is kind, friendly , reliable . professional, trustworthy and great with dogs. Romeo loved her immediately. Jeanette perfectly followed the care plan that I created. She left my home very clean and even was flexible to add on an extra day of care due to flight change of mine. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!”

About: With a deep passion for animal welfare, I have developed a lifelong affinity for dogs. My household has always included at least one dog, and I have gained extensive experience in caring for them throughout my adult life. My children, now adults, grew up in dog-friendly households and have continued this tradition with their own families. I strongly believe that a home is incomplete without the companionship of a four-legged friend. I am well-versed in handling various breeds and sizes of dogs. Your dog and I will enjoy exploring the neighborhood together, discovering new sights and smells. On occasion, we may visit our local Starbucks for a pup cup treat, with your prior approval. We may also take a stroll through the nearby park, weather permitting. I understand the importance of providing dogs with opportunities to experience new environments and sensations. My ultimate goal is to ensure that your dog remains comfortable and stress-free at all times. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a meet and greet. I am available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to provide pet care services for your fur babies. On Sundays, I am available anytime after 12:30 p.m., following church services. My residence features a fenced yard, providing a secure environment for my five pets. I diligently supervise them, limiting their time alone to brief intervals. We participate in regular walks, adjusted according to weather conditions. I prioritize their comfort, avoiding walks in extreme temperatures and taking measures to protect them from the elements.
“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals.

“Shane and Brittany have been so great with me and my dog! I’m a worrier, especially when it comes to my dog, since she isn’t always a walk in the park. Shane and Brittany have been very patient with answering all my questions and giving feedback on Gucci’s daily walks. They have also been very attentive to Gucci’s needs. I couldn’t ask for better!”

About: Hi, I’m Michael! I’ve spent the past few years helping care for my stepmother’s pets whenever she needed an extra hand. At first, I didn’t think much of it — but over time, I realized how much I truly enjoyed it. That passion inspired me to start offering my pet care services to others! Here’s a little about my experience: • Feeding pets on a regular schedule • Walking and cleaning up after them • Administering medications (pill form) • Refilling water and ensuring hydration • Spending quality time playing, relaxing, and keeping them company I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am currently a college student at UMBC and work at a bar on Thursday nights. As a result, my availability is primarily on Fridays and weekends. I am generally free during these times unless I have a prior commitment. I make it a priority to maintain a flexible schedule to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets When caring for pets, I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, making sure to stick to every detail. I take pride in being thorough and dependable because I believe every pet deserves the best care. My goal is to ensure that each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away.

Nia is so kind and loving with my dog. She's very patient with my dog's reactivity and helps her to be calm. She's even gotten her to walk in the rain, and my dog HATES the rain and will often refuse to go. She's good about following directions for food and treats and checks in if she has any concerns. Thanks Nia!

Catherine is a wonderful dog walker. She has a great rapport with my dogs and makes their health and safety her top priority. She communicates before, during, and after her walks with my dogs and sends fun photos. I highly recommend Catherine as a dog walker. Thanks for another great walk, Catherine. The dogs are happy and tired.
