Dog Walking Highlandtown

About: Hi! I offer dependable dog walks and drop-in visits with a focus on consistency, safety, and genuine care. I love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I grew up with dogs and have cared for a variety of animals over the years, including cats, birds, and other small pets. Being around animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and temperaments. I also have my own dog, which has reinforced how important patience, structure, and understanding behavior can be. I take a calm, thoughtful approach and always aim to make pets feel comfortable and cared for during each visit. With my background in healthcare, I’m very detail-oriented, reliable, and respectful of routines. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific instructions, I make sure everything is followed closely. Pet care fits into my routine in a consistent, structured way. I offer early mornings, limited midday visits (based on proximity), and evenings, and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I can be on time and fully present for each pet. This works well for clients who need reliable, ongoing weekday support. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine and following all care instructions carefully. Safety is a priority—I use secure leashing and entry practices, pay attention to each pet’s behavior, and adjust as needed to keep them safe and calm. I’m respectful of your home and provide clear updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Ida had a great time with Lady and when I needed to move walks around a little Lady was very responsive. Thanks a bunch! Will be a repeat customer. :)”

About: I've taken care of all different kinds of pets since I was 15, ranging from small dogs like westies and dachshunds to big dogs like pitbulls and Newfoundlands, as well as cats, and small mammals like guinea pigs. I work from home so I can watch your pet at my house, or I can stop by and sit them for a while, and I also have experience house sitting pets. I currently work from home and make my own hours, so I can work around your pet's schedule. I can take care of them at my house or watch them in their own home. I have a fenced in yard and multiple floors with pet gates on each level to keep your pets separated from own if it is needed.

About: Hey all, I have been hosting dogs on Rover on and off for almost 10 years now. My dog Camden really enjoys hanging out with pups and meeting new buddies! I work in DC Monday-Wednesday, but the rest of the week I’m available for boarding and drop ins/walks. I have experience with a ton of breeds, ages, and sizes of pups and am always happy to take them on adventures! I work remotely and have a fenced yard, allowing me to provide supervision pretty much the entire day. My own dog Camden is very dog friendly and would love any friend to play with, inside or outside. I have my own dog as well who loves meeting new friends. I would be happy to take our dogs on group walks or hikes, and have my own backyard for them to play whenever they want.

About: I have experience with dogs/animals of all types! Being raised on a hobby farm, I grew up with a deep love for animals and have cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, rabbits, and small rodents. I currently have a senior husky with epilepsy and a hospice foster dog at home, so I am very comfortable working with seniors or animals who might have some extra needs. Recently, I worked for a private client in Baltimore city doing drop-in visits and overnight stays in my home 3-4 days a week, caring for a 100lb Labrador Retriever. I would love to get to know your best friend (and you)! Please reach out with any additional questions! I am currently preparing to start my graduate internship in mental health counseling. Due to this, I currently have a lot of available time and flexibility in my work schedule. Making sure your pet stays safe and happy while I’m with them is my main priority. You’re the expert on your pet, so I will always listen to your wishes/rules for your pet and home while I’m there.

About: I have had all kinds of dogs growing up with different temperaments. I love meeting all different dogs and getting to know them! I have grown up with a shih tzu, boxers, poodles, a bouvier, and now a golden retriever. I am working part time from home so I am very flexible. I would love to help out during the work day so you can relax knowing your dog is being taken care of while you are at work. Keeping care of a home is my biggest priority. I always try to treat it as my own. I will make sure your dog and home stay clean and safe while I visit!

About: I grew up surrounded by different pets but mainly dogs. As an adult I've been exposed to cats and I get to feed my neighbors cats now and then. Currently, I have two dogs, Flash and Mina, who I've been taking care of since they were puppies. My dogs are highly energetic, so I don't mind taking care of dogs with a lot of energy. Due to my schedule flexibility, I can help with potty training as well. I am currently self-employed and mostly work from home. I can adjust my schedule to mostly any pet routine. I can walk dogs many times per day as needed. For right now, I am not offering boarding as my two dogs prefer to have their own space. However, I am happy to take care of your pet in their environment and to keep their routine to make them feel as calm as possible while you are away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past eight years. I am comfortable house sitting along with dog sitting and dog walking. I am a very active person so I am happy to walk your dog as many times as needed to make them happy! I am currently working as a server and at Breakthrough T1D in DC, but I am hybrid some days and willing to help out weekdays and weekends. I would work around your schedule Though it says “Away”, reach out to me! I work at Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) and am also a server. My schedule is hybrid and I am flexible so I’m happy to discuss and work with you! I like to be with the dogs and cats as much as I can, but have the opportunity to occasionally go back to my own house to take a shower and grab some food.

“Thanks to Imauri’s flexible schedule, she was able to accommodate our beagle who is just shy of four months and needed to be taken out for walks. Very professional, even checked up on my puppy when I was a little late getting back home just to make sure he was OK. She even tidied up after he came in from his walk which was extremely helpful. My baby loves her and is comfortable with her and that speaks volumes for my shy beagle.”
