Dog Walkers in Hillandale, MD

“Kacy did a great job taking good care to be positive and continue the techniques with my energetic lab puppy! It was hot and she made sure he had water. I would love to have her back.”

About: I’ve taken care of furry family members since I was 11 years old (from dogs, puppys, cats, and kittens). With the love, care, sensitivity, and patience they all deserve. I can’t wait to meet your bundles of joys! I currently work remotely and am very structured in my time management. I am available for house sitting and walks throughout the day (I love going on walks throughout the day). I am very detail oriented and try to replicate the environment and structure that your pets that are used to in order to minimize stress. I follow directions and stick to the schedule as outlined.

“Carla was on time and sent me pictures of the walk she took with my dog. I appreciate her help and she has been flexible with my confusing schedule. Would recommend and plan to use her services again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’ve loved animals my whole life—I was always the one begging my parents to take in every stray I found 🐾 I’m currently a nursing student, so I’m very detail-oriented, responsible, and focused on safety. I also have a prior military background, which has taught me discipline, reliability, and consistency in everything I do. I’m very active and love running, so I’m great for high-energy dogs who need walks and exercise, while also being calm and patient with cats and more relaxed pets. I’m comfortable following routines, giving lots of attention, and keeping you updated with pictures so you always know your pet is happy and safe. My schedule varies with school during the week, but I’m available outside of those days, along with mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I also have occasional required skills hours, but I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs 🐾 During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care based on their personality—whether that’s going for a walk, playing, or just keeping them company. I always prioritize safety by ensuring secure leashing, clean water, and a safe environment before leaving. I also provide regular updates with pictures so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away 🥰

“Very friendly, replied quickly, and came on time! My pup was very happy to be walked by Astrid and I was very happy she was able to be walked.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for about 6 years and have experience with both puppies and older dogs. I’ve helped with basic training for younger dogs (things like routines and simple commands) and understand the extra patience and care that senior dogs need. I’m comfortable adjusting to different energy levels, whether that means keeping a puppy engaged or giving an older dog a slower, more relaxed routine. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities, so I try to make sure they feel comfortable and settled. My schedule is pretty consistent with working from home, which makes it easy for me to plan walks and check-ins ahead of time. I’m available most days and try to keep a steady routine so dogs know what to expect each time. I also make sure to leave enough time between bookings so I’m not rushing and can give each dog proper attention. When I’m caring for a dog, I try to stick as closely as possible to their usual routine so they feel comfortable. I pay attention to details like leash safety, surroundings on walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I’m naturally pretty calm and patient, which helps dogs settle in and feel at ease. I also make sure to communicate clearly and send updates so you know how things are going.

“Sydni is amazing with my dog and cat. My dog has a habit of hiding under the couch despite the meet and greet. She loved Sydni. Anytime one of my pets had an accident, she went above and beyond to clean it up. Great with communication!!! I.”

“Oliver is the best—a responsible animal-lover who walked our corgi for two weeks while I was out of the country. Oliver sent photos and videos, and kept in touch via text message. We will be using Oliver’s services again soon. Highly recommend! Thanks, Oliver!”

Cecilia S.

“Really appreciate you Hailey, walking Max. For the second time you were totally dependable in getting him out and around the neighborhood. Even saw him out in his raincoat! Loved all the pics. Max received so much love while we were away! We were so comfortable. Thank you!”

About: I am an avid dog lover. I take care of dogs in my neighborhood - from Chihuahua size to 100 pounds or more. We enjoy long walks and meeting new pup friends! I even include baths if necessary. For some reason, my account won’t let me remove House Sitting - I have a dog of my own. Unless our dogs are introduced and get along, I cannot do overnights. However, I can do multiple let outs - including late at night and early in the morning. Cats are also lovely creatures and although they may not need walking, they get their share of love, too! All pets welcome with me! I have reliable transportation. I’m 31 years old with a college degree and a full time job. I don’t smoke and can walk more than one dog at a time. I can promise that your animals and I will get along great! Please contact me if you have any further questions! I am always available. Thank you! I work full time in the southern Maryland area, however I have break times and morning/evening availability! I’m not opposed to travel and multiple let outs. I can care for your pets at your home or mine! I do not have a fenced backyard, but I do multiple walks every single day.

“Joe took great care of our Lola girl. We have a boxer puppy with a lot of energy and Joe was able to handle her well. They got along the first time they met and from the photos he sent during their walks, it looked like they both enjoyed each others company. We’re grateful for Joe’s patience with Lola and will be booking him again. Thank you Joe!”

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with over 25 years of caregiving experience. I have had dogs almost continuously since kindergarten ranging in size from a 5 lb poodle mix (Trooper) to a 95 lb yellow lab (Nala), in addition to 3 years as a parent to 2 cats, Jules and Gemini. Jules was with us only briefly due to her advanced age when she was adopted, while Gemini is a much younger kitten who wasted no time claiming my home as her own. I also recently lost my 10 year old corgi (Sadie) unexpectedly to an extremely aggressive form of cancer, and so would love the opportunity to spend some therapeutic time with your furry kid. Prior to beginning work through Rover, I have several years of experience caring for cats and dogs for a variety of friends, family, and neighbors including everything from drop-in visits and dog walking to full-time house/petsitting. Outside of my petsitting duties, I am a PhD chemist working hard to make the battery in your phone last longer and your electric car drive further. My wife and I moved to the Silver Spring area in 2024 for her job as a television producer and I am in the process of establishing myself in the DMV research community. Availability: Except in special cases, I am available for booking at any time of day, any day of the week. I am happy to provide everything from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays. I am currently working part-time from home, so I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets at any time! This can include drop-in visits to your home, overnight stays with your fur baby, and day-care or boarding at my home (as long as they're friendly with my cat Gemini). I am glad to visit your home as frequently as you prefer. All visits will include checks for water quantity and freshness, any prescribed food refills or walks, and of course play time. I'm also happy to provide overnight care for your pets and home if preferred, please send me a message if you are interested in more long-term visits. I'm also very happy to host your pets in my own home! I have plenty of room for cats and dogs up to 50-70 lbs. Both my wife and I have had pets our entire lives and between the two of us, someone is nearly always home to supervise and provide any needed care. Since I live in an apartment complex, I do not have a private yard but do have plenty of communal space for walks and other outdoor activity.
