Dog Walking Hyattsville

About: I’ve had two wonderful dogs since they were 10 weeks old. We’ve completed dog training classes together and I’ve learned all about pet care through them. Im currently working from home and never travel because I have a toddler son and 2 dogs, so im often available on weekends for pet care and during the week for walks I have two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and a large house for plenty of play space. I’m also experienced with picky eating dogs.

“Clear communication and great with my (very active) 3 month old puppy! I appreciate her patience and photo mail to show Saint enjoying his walk.”

About: Hi! I'm a vet tech student and frequent foster parent for anything from kittens to reptiles and bunnies. I've had experience with many different dog breeds since I was young and handle walking large dogs well. Actively looking for walks, sittings, and check ins! I treat any client as if they were my own pet! Boardings are context dependent since I have two cats! I’m currently in school full time but my courses are online and self paced so I create my own schedule! Available anytime (early morning and late night walks included) I have a fenced patio and live near a park with a long trail. I have two cats (fixed male and female), they’ll pretty much ignore any small dogs but they are easily spooked by big dogs. I can adhere to any feeding schedule, if your dog needs to be crated I can accommodate that.

About: Hello World! My name is Rouday and I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. In those 25 years I have had the privilege of raising three dogs, all different shapes and sizes. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, playing with them at dog parks, and loving up on my furry friends. I currently have an extremely flexible schedule as I work remotely and control my own workflow. I also have two young children that require schedule flexibility. Very safe secure building, which includes dedicated dog walking areas, and also room to groom pets as well. Location is also close to some great parks and walking paths that dogs will enjoy

“Meghan is always on time and polite! We are continuously training our rescue pitbull and she provides feedback on his progress and respects our training demands. Would recommend her!”

About: I’ve always lived with pets in my home and love spending time with them. Previously, I’ve helped watch my sister-in-law’s senior cat and have lots of patience with all animals. I’m currently between jobs so I’m very available to spend as much time as needed with your pets! I also love going on walks frequently throughout the day. Currently, I only live with a cat and she is quite independent. I’ve watched a few of my friend’s dogs and am able to stick to a routine for food and walks. I’m naturally a very detail-oriented person.

About: I was a longtime dog sitter for some neighbors of mine, and I have also had my own dogs. I have grown up around dogs and have loved pets my entire life! I love the variety of dogs, whether that be their breed, age, or temperament. I love going on walks, thoroughly enjoy playtime, and feel comfortable meeting new pooches! I am currently a full time student here at the University of Maryland, however I like to think of myself as a strong multitasker and student. I am positive I will be able to serve you and your pet needs outside of my class hours. Additionally, I am more than willing to be flexible, and I have found much success in extracurricular activities so far this semester, proving my academic load to be more than manageable. I have a dog of my own with my family back home in Frederick, Maryland. This obviously includes waking up and letting little Bob outside in the morning and throughout the day, and we enjoy going on walks together, and Bob is a very active dog who loves play. He enjoys being chased throughout the house or tossing a ball outside and he even has his own funny, unorthodox sessions of play where Bob enjoys being spoken to or chased without toys. I typically take care of feeding Bob, giving him water, and making him comfortable. I want to meet a dog’s needs, and provide them with a positive experience!

About: I would love for you all to know about my experience with pet sitting, so I would like to start with a quick story. When I was turning five, my grandpa took me to a pet shop the day before my birthday. After feeding the neighborhood cats and playing with the stray puppies, I just knew I’d come home with a dog of my own that day. I was elated — that is, until we left and I was the owner of a bird. As a five year old, I was disappointed! But I grew to love the bird as I realized I loved other animals. And by the time I turned 12, I finally did have pup of my own. I tell that story to say, I have years of personal experience caring for pets, whether they were my own or not. In my family home, we currently have an elderly dog and a teenaged cat - in my apartment, we have a one year old kitten. I love pets of all ages and sizes and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! You can trust that I’ll give them lots of love and cuddles in your absence! I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible - the main thing I’d have to take into account is commuting! Once I’m there, I’ll have tons of time to spend with your pet, or take them on as many walks as needed. My goal is to make sure you and your pet are happy and comfortable throughout this process! If your pet seems overwhelmed or nervous with me at first, I’ll know how to read this body language and I’ll give them the time and space they need to open up to me. If they want cuddles, they can have as many as they need! I’ll communicate openly with you to ensure your comfort level and trust, and I’ll make sure you and your pet are my top priority!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs big to small for friends who go on many vacations for long periods of of time. I can feed, walk, & play w pets! also can take care of senior dogs. I am available almost any time, unless I am busy or on vacation & if I am pet sitting another pet. Contact me 2 know. I have a backyard where I can run around & play w pets! I also live in a house with enough space for pets to walk around. I also live around a big park to play around with pets! A dog park as well!

“Matthew has walked Millie and my neighbor's dog a few times for me. Most times, my requests have been on short notice, and Matthew is always quick to respond. Millie is a "stroll and sniff" kind of walker, but she always seems to enjoy her walks with Matthew and comes back happy. (Millie actually smiles when she's happy.) I would absolutely recommend Matthew to anyone who is looking for floof-care and will continue to use him.”

About: I love pets! I have experience house/dog sitting for clients that have taken vacations of up to 15 days. While house sitting, I can also bring in mail and water plants. In the past, I have been able to watch up to 2 dogs at a time. I love the exercise that comes from walking dogs, and I welcome dogs that have both high and low energy levels. When given specific instructions about caring for someone's dog, I always follow them, never letting my previous experience and "what I usually do" come before meeting the expectations of my clients. I have lived with at least one dog as a pet for 18 years of my life. Let me take care of your dog and be an extension of your love towards them when you cannot be there. I have graduate school classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but I am free for pet care outside of those hours. I am flexible to work around your schedule. I’ve house sat and taken care of cats and dogs while I’ve lived in the house. I’ve also stopped by houses periodically to walk dogs and feed them. I’m open to both methods.

About: My experience comes from caring for my own pets and giving them consistent, loving care. I’ve had a cat since I was around 12–13 and have been responsible for feeding, cleaning, playing with, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I’ve also had a dog and have lived in homes with dogs, so I’m comfortable around both cats and dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have pets of my own as of now, but I am always free to show animals the love and care needed. I'm available for pet care and happy to help!! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets. I follow each pet's routine , keep them supervised, and make sure they have food, water, attention, and a comfortable space.

About: What we offer is more of a pack activity group than typical dog sitting. We are very active and do as much as possible as a small group together including pack walks, runs, trips to the park, hiking in trails, hard earned naps, and group basic training and enrichment. We aim to strike the right balance of fun and rest to avoid over or under-stimulation. As a mental health therapist with an anxious dog of my own, I am particularly attentive to dog body language, signs of discomfort, and unique personality. I empathize that it truly sucks that you can’t just text your dog to ask how they’re doing when they’re in another person’s care. My aim is for the next time you arrive at my home, your pup’s booty will wiggle and communicate it all! In the meantime, I welcome your check ins and am happy to send you plenty of pictures and detailed updates. **Note: We are not the right fit for dogs who: are not regularly socialized with other dogs, need to be the only dog in the sitter’s home, are reactive towards or guard resources from other dogs, or just generally would not find our pack playing, walking, and basic training lifestyle very fun! My own dogs are central to our daily routine and get plenty of enrichment, runs/walks/hikes, play in the yard, basic training, and post-activity rest each day. We are very active and do as much as possible as a small group together. Pickup/Drop Off Schedule: We have implemented the following schedule for drop off and pick ups to help protect our pups routine and what remains of our lives outside of doggies 🙃 M-F before 6pm Sat/Sun before 9:30am E.g. if your trip ends at 7pm on Sunday we ask that you schedule your pick up for anytime Monday before 6pm. If we are able to accommodate, flexible drop off/pick up rate for outside of those windows is $30. Doggy Drop Off Room: If we are in meetings during your drop off/pick up times, or out with the other pups, we may arrange for you to use our doggy drop off room where your dog can rest until we are back (within 0-2 hrs). For all pick up/drop offs outside of M-F before 6pm we will arrange for you to use the doggy drop off room. We’ll provide instructions for access when you book. We do not do pick ups/drop offs after 8pm. I am happy to discuss and answer any questions you may have about your specific needs! We have a fenced yard, an indoor camera, gates and human grade rooms for doggy comfort, two crates, and more leashes and toys than one pack could ever need.

“We can’t thank Talise enough. She was so kind and patient, and our dog absolutely loved her. He looked forward to their walks together every time, and we know he’s going to miss her ( we are moving ) Reliable, caring, and genuinely great with him. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”

About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 11. When I got my first dog. I would to walk, feed and bathe her. After I gained a new appreciation for family pets I’m currently working part-time. I’m working the closing shift. Because of this I normally do walk and sitting on my free days and/or in the morning/afternoon. I also make sure to take care of the animals in my care with the highest quality of care that can be provided to the pet.

About: I believe great pet care is about more than simply being there… it’s about making your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs, with a patient and gentle approach for puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra reassurance. You can count on me to provide dependable, thoughtful care and plenty of love while you’re away. 🦋🤍 Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I work from home 3–4 days a week and don’t have children, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pet. I’m able to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day while keeping their routine comfortable and familiar. I truly enjoy having pets around and would love to make them feel right at home while you’re away. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment.

About: Hi! My name is Aubrey, and I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years caring for all kinds of animals — from household pets to farm animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether they’re playful puppies and kittens or senior pets needing extra patience and care. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy care, training, routines, and the patience and attention young dogs need. As a college student and future grad student at UMD, I have a very flexible schedule, especially over the summer and into next semester. I’m available for overnight stays, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, medication administration, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand every pet has different needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college and future grad student here at UMD, I have a flexible schedule with availability for overnights, walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure to ask questions not only about your puppy but your house and regular routines. Health in animals is very important while you’re away so I always ask to have detailed notes or instructions.

“Tandy was super professional and kind. I lived a little out of the ways but she was happy to come by and take care of our dog. I scheduled her for a walk and she still came and walked her in the RAIN and got soaking wet. Even got my dog a towel and dried her off. Definitely will be booking her again. True heart of gold and very helpful.”

About: I’ve been caring for my cat Angel since she was 4 months old, and I’ve spent the past 3 years learning how to provide love, patience, attention, and proper care for a pet’s needs. I understand that every animal has their own personality and deserves to feel safe and comfortable. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and availability that works well for pet visits. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have classes from 9:00 AM–1:15 PM and am available before and after class. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have classes from 1:30–2:45 PM and am available before and after class. I have open availability on Fridays and weekends and can provide reliable, consistent visits based on your pet’s needs and schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual routine and needs. During every visit, I’ll follow your instructions carefully, make sure your pet is safe and comfortable, and provide a calm and positive environment. I’ll also keep you updated about your pet during the visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life! I helped raise and take care of a Golden Retriever for 14 years in my childhood home until she passed away. Right know I have 3 elderly dogs who are my BFF's. I can't imagine my life without a furry friend. Also I've helped watch family and friends dogs since a young age. I love dogs of any kind and will love yours like my own! I’m currently working close to home with very flexible hours. I can work with your schedule to find the right time to care for your pets! I will approach your pet in a calm and slow manner until they feel comfortable with me. I have a fenced yard. My neighborhood is great for walks. Also depending on your preference with dog park/ walks, I typically take dogs for a 30 min walk (of course each dog is different in taking their time I fully respect that). If your dog is comfortable at the dog park, I’d love to take them there as well! My dog park is 20 minutes away (walking).I can accomodate dogs in crates or dogs that sleep on dog beds. In case of an emergency, I will always contact you first and take your pet to your preferred vet. I have a jeep which your dog will feel really comfortable in, so I am able to get your pet to whichever vet quickly!
