Dog Walkers in Holly Oaks, MD

“Jessica was very organized and extremely reliable. She went over everything (and more) that we needed to touch on at our meet and greet. As walks went on, she was very communicative, and worked with me to come up with creative ideas on how to manage my dog’s significant fears. He was an abused rescue, so he is shy and gets easily scared of noises and people. I will definitely be having her walk again!”

About: Just like many people, I've been surrounded by animals my whole life! I currently share my home with two cats, but l'm just as comfortable and experienced spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from chihuahuas to Great Danes! l've cared for many family and friends pets over the years, including Yorkies, Great Danes, Short Haired Pointers, and especially my sister's Frenchie who is my best bud! I also have worked at a dog kennel where I gained a lot of hands-on experience with all kinds of pups! I learned other essential skills like giving medication when needed, adjusting to play styles and behaviors of dogs, and just overall learned how to handle the many different personalities that come with dogs! When I'm not busy with work or my other hobbies, I like to volunteer at the local animal shelter! Whether it's playtime or just giving the pets some extra love and attention, it’s something I always enjoy and love! I take pride in my pet care where I can promise your pets will be cared for like they're my own! When in my care they will experience plenty of love, play, and of course cuddles! When it comes to pet care, it fits naturally into my daily routine! I work remotely from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule where I can take breaks for walks, playtime, or for bathroom breaks! If your pup needs many potty breaks, a walk in the middle of the day, or just some extra attention, I can easily fit it into my routine! When caring for your pets in your home, I always make sure to treat them (and your space!) with the same respect and love that I’d give my own. Whatever your pets routine is, is something I would make sure I stick to so they can feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I would be sure to handle the little things that keep them healthy, such as giving them water and food, giving them medication if needed, cleaning up after them, and taking them for exercise! Most importantly, I would also give them love and attention so they don’t feel lonely and would send updates with pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re gone!

About: I’m an experienced, reliable, and responsible pet sitter who truly loves animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets when you’re away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am a stay at home mom of 5 two legged children and 2 four legged children with a background in healthcare. I’m here day and night to help with your pet care needs. I have a large fenced in yard for exercise, and a screened in porch. I can set up a crate if needed. We have 2 large friendly dogs to keep your baby company. Fresh water, regular feeding, medication administration if needed and lots of love! I can guarantee your pup will never get lonely!

“Shemoy did amazing with the pups, and really saved me after a last minute cancellation. Always on time and took lots of pictures. My dogs, who can sometimes be judgey, took to liking Shemoy right away. Definitely recommended as a sitter/walker!”

“We had a last minute trip and Victoria saved the day. She took great care of our dog Poe who has separation anxiety. She made sure he felt comfortable and safe. She also sent plenty of pictures and reported back on how he was acting on his walks which made us feel more comfortable as well. I’d definitely use her again.”

About: I am naturally a very empathetic person and that helps me care for animals because I tune into their wants and needs easily. I do research into the biology and psychology of different animals to also better understand them. I have raised and potty trained puppies, cats, and even rats. I also love to teach animals new tricks or games to keep their minds sharp and stimulated. I'm a nice blend of layed back and excitable so I value both play and rest with my animals. Fun fact: I raised my own emotional support Fancy Rat who was litter trained and obedient. I have an open schedule. Routine requests are allowed but not required (whether that be weekly furrbaby sitting or daily walks...etc.). I care for all living things in a respectful and loving manner. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement and as-needed discipline. I am fully vaccinated. I have a 4 year old Great Dane named Haven Marie. Haven is very friendly with everyone, she loves dogs, cats, kittens, and more. She's well mannered and the perfect blend of relaxed and energetic as well. She can come with or stay behind on any reservations! I don't have another job or many commitments at this time, so I have fairly open availability and I pride myself on my flexibility with all clients. I'm very easy to work with, especially if you're plans are always changing. I go with the flow. I don't use retractable leases, I walk with a clicker, and I like to harness any medium dogs or larger breeds when taking them on walks, so I can ensure the best quality of service and their safety.

“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”

About: I’ve had animas my entire life from dogs to chickens, rabbits, a chinchilla, turtles, a bearded dragon, cats, and more! Dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’ve trained with dogs my whole life. I worked at a dog kennel for 7 years, trained dogs professionally for 4, and recently graduated from an accredited dog training school called Starmark! I have also been trusted and recommended by many people who know me well and they have all given nothing but good feedback and compliments, I take pride in my animal care! I am currently between jobs after graduating and so I have a lot of free time to dedicate towards helping people and animals! You may message me with any further inquiries or questions you might have! While I do not have a fenced in yard, I am still very capable of providing lots of enrichment for dogs! My dogs go to parks, they walk on long lines outside to give them a lot of space, we go on sniffy walks, they get lick mats, enrichment toys, mental games, training, and so much more! My yard is also very large featuring a large in ground pool (fenced in) and multiple large areas of grass and lots of woods behind my house! I also have chickens that while kept in a secure, separate area, help keep the tick population minimal!

About: I have a lovely home in St Mary’s County with a fenced in back yard overlooking three acres. My family has always had dogs and it wouldn’t be home without them! We have three friendly beagle mixes, ages 2, 3 and 4. I worked full time for 28 years as a counselor for folks with disabilities and took an early retirement in order to be home for my middle school age son. I love walking and playing with pups, who make our lives much better through their loving companionship. Before our current dogs, I have raised three other family dogs and three cats, a love bird, four parakeets, fish and a bearded dragon! I have pet sat for several friends as well and enjoy it!

“Trina has been amazing with Nugget who is NOT a fan of walking. She has been resourceful to ensure he gets the most out of his walks. She is on time, communicative and provides a thorough report after each walk.”

About: I work from home with a flexible schedule. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well. No matter the age, the work day is a long time for them to be alone and I’ll get them outside for potty and back in for some pets and snuggles. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. I have base access and can also get them to the vet if you can’t get away from work. I will come over and ensure your home is safe and secure upon entering and leaving. If they’re not sleeping in the living room I’ll go find them in the house and get them outback in your fenced yard or on a walk to get their potty and exercise break in.
