Dog Walking Havre de Grace

About: Growing up I was always involved with the care and grooming of my mother's AKC American Cocker spaniel kennel and quickly fell in love with dogs. I've helped deliver 3 liters of puppies ensuring every fine detail of the process was done properly. I've assisted and led many rescue missions for strays and wildlife. I currently care for three rescue rabbits Layla, Monty, Zuko and one beagle/JackRussell mix, Copper. I'm lucky to have all my pets in my life and they truly enrich our lives for the better. I currently accepted a new job opportunity therefore my schedule is a little odd right now but message me and we can work out the details there. on a leash/harness or lead line in the yard. I do walks and or hikes- weather permitted. Allow outside with supervised fenced in playtime with toys

“Erica is a miracle! I was worried how long it might take my dog to warm up to someone coming in her home without me there, particularly because she is blind. Erica worked with me to take the time to get to know Ember and fortunately, it took no time at all! Ember warmed up to her so quickly and is so excited when she visits for a walk! Ember and I are so grateful!”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life, & I can’t wait until I’m in a situation when I can finally have my own dog again. I’m knowledgeable about pet care & animal behavior, have great attention to detail, & enjoy learning more. I love every critter I meet (although I am partial towards chihuahuas & pits) & I have yet to meet a dog that didn’t like me. My family always had dogs growing up, & I have experience caring for a variety of dogs of different ages. I’ve only had two pet dogs that went through their entire life cycle with me, & my most recent doggo was a shitzu who came to me when she was 11. I spent her last few years trying to make her as comfortable & happy as possible. That’s the goal for every animal I care for. While this is obviously a job, & I do need the money, I genuinely enjoy getting to be helpful, to make someone’s life easier, & to, of course, spend time with dogs. I figure if I have to have a side hustle, it should at least be rewarding!! Thanks for reading!! I am a waitress- I usually work full-time, but it’s the slow season & we have a server surplus at the moment. I’m currently only scheduled for 3 night shifts a week, so my schedule is pretty open. Even on the days I do work, I would be able to check-in & care for the dogs before I go in, & can check on them afterwards as well if needed. Basically, I currently have plenty of time to fit in pet care. I am comfortable staying at someone else’s place; it would be nice to have a change of scenery every once in a while. Of course, I will treat your house with respect & be sure to leave it as it was when I arrived! If they wanna chill & sleep, that’s fine with me, but if they’re really active & need to play, I will play fetch & tug-o-war for hours on end. I have a car & supplies to take care of a dog if it is needed (snacks, poop bags, leash, blankets, first aid kit). I’m familiar with dog breeds & behavior & am aware of different training techniques so I’m not worried about being able to manage any dog- like getting them in their crate at the end of the night, or establishing a relationship with them, etc. I will care for your pet the way you want, but above all I will always care for an animal with the utmost respect & love, 💕

About: I have taken care of many of my friends and family pets (both dogs and cats) when they go out of town, including seniors that needed medication. I am currently job hunting and would have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I can take your dog for a walk/let them out for potty breaks, feed, scoop litter, play, and just love on your pets! I am a young professional, very trustworthy, and have overnight dog sat for many friends (once for a whole month). I would love to have a chance to meet you and your pets!

“Angela was right on time and very friendly with Rosie and with me. She seemed very confident about taking Rosie out. So appreciative if having someone trustworthy and kind handling my dog”

About: Military family, Love to go for long runs and would love to bring your puppers along! We have 5 beautiful kitties at home. Cats have my heart, but I love all animals!! I worked as a volunteer at a local pet shelter while in college. I do work full time locally in Human Resources. Very clean, respected family with tons of references. I have been pet sitting/ walking for over 10 years now. If you have any special request or questions please feel free to send me a message.

“Professional and patient! Let me accompany part of the first walk to ensure my comfort and implemented my boys commands into the walk. She knew just how to approach my shy pup.”

“Pearl has been so amazing!! She responded in minutes and scheduled a meet and greet for my dogs within 24 hours! I needed dog walking for some days and Pearl was so accommodating on such a short notice. My two dogs we enthusiastic when she got them and definitely got great walks. 100% recommend!”

About: I have watched over many of my friends and families pets. The dogs I have watched in the past have been moderately large, and could be a bit wild at times but I was able to keep hold of the situation. I have also accompanied my family and friends when they had taken care of pets for other families. I had helped train a very wild pup for a friend, as well as a basic command which was sit. I absolutely love animals and even went to a program in high school for them. I am currently free during most times of the week. I am currently attending HCC, my classes being on Monday and Wednesday and do not stretch late into the day. I am very available to watch your pups or kitties! I can come during the mornings or evenings during the week depending on the day. I am also available to house sit. I care for them by learning their needs and wants first in their home. I understand every animal is unique and needs to be cared for in a way that works for them. I listen to the owner to ensure that everything will be safe and cared for in their absence.

“Kyle is fantastic! He has a genuine love for animals, and it shows. My 18-month-old terrier is reactive to other dogs, pulls on the leash and can get unruly. Yet Kyle treats him with incredible patience and kindness. Kyle knows dogs intuitively and he really understands my dog's behavior. I cannot recommend him enough. He has been rock-solid as far as reliability, and he also has been flexible when I needed to modify our schedule. Kyle is calm, experienced, and goes above and beyond to take care of my dog Max. I have full confidence in Kyle, and you'll be happy if you entrust your pet with him!”

About: Growing up in Mexico I lived on a ranch. We had many different types of animals, my favorites were always the dogs. In my life I’ve raised 6 dogs from puppies to adults and have found many tips and tricks to be friend them. I also have experience with my three child hood cats and have always found them fun to play with! I have in my life as well taken care of horses, goats, sheep, and cattle! So no job is too big for me :) I currently am in need of a hernia surgery so am not able to work my other jobs or do my sports, so my schedule is pretty open for anyone in need! I make sure that I listen to the instructions of any person I’m working with, because at the end of the day my job isn’t to create a new feeling for my furry friends, but to try and recreate what they’ve already known for so long with you the wonderful owners!

About: I’ve taken care of many different animals. Cats, dogs, lizards: you name it! I’m experienced with big dogs who have lots of personality, as well as cats who can be skiddish and shy. I also have a cat and dog of my own, and have experience with administering medication for all your pet’s needs! I’m available for you and your pet when you need me. My schedule is very flexible, and we can always talk about what times work best for you and your pet’s needs. I am well-versed in the animal language. Having many pets of my own and other experiences with animals, I can understand exactly what your pet needs. I am a fun loving person that has lots of love and comfort for your animal!

About: Hi! My name is Julia, and I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have owned both dogs and cats since I was a child, so caring for pets has always been a natural and important part of my life. I have several years of experience with dog sitting and house sitting, and I understand how important it is to know your pets and home are in caring, trustworthy hands. I love all pets and enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away. I am dependable, attentive, and respectful of each family’s home and pet care preferences. I would be happy to care for your furry family member and give them the same love and attention I would give my own pets! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I enjoy having pets as part of my routine, whether that means starting the day with a walk, stopping by for a midday visit, or spending quiet time with a cat who just wants company nearby. I’m dependable and flexible, and I understand that pets do best when their normal schedule is followed as closely as possible. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs, whether they need extra attention, medication reminders, playtime, or just someone calm and caring to keep them company while their family is away. I care for pets with patience, respect, and attention to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications or special needs, favorite toys, and any house rules. I know pets feel safest when things stay familiar, so I do my best to keep their routine calm and consistent while their family is away. I also treat every home with care and respect. I make sure doors are locked, food and water are refreshed, litter boxes or pet areas are kept clean, and pets are safe before I leave. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and personality, whether they are playful, shy, energetic, independent, or need a little extra reassurance. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and for owners to feel confident knowing their pets and home are in trustworthy hands.

“Elizabeth helped us out when we really needed someone to check on our puppy twice each day! She offered to come by to meet Oakley before her first visit, which I thought was great. We will definitely be booking her in the future! :)”

As we have traveled the world, we have watched pets of all ages and sizes. My kids love having furry friends visit and enjoy joining me when walking the dog. So much so, my daughter's first word was "kitten." In our home, we have a beautiful black lab, tortie kitty, and a handful of geckos that live in our backyard. Now that my three children are in school, I would love to assist you with dog walking, cat and dog boarding, and daily check-ins for any of your furry family members.
