Dog Walkers in Johnsville, MD

“I used Elan to walk our girl Neffie for a few days for the 1st. I’m always reserved when allowing new dog walkers into my home. However, Elan came a few days before and met with Neffie and me to get special instructions and the lay of the land. Neffie warmed up to her instantly. Elan, was a pleasure, on time with her walks, sent me photos, and updated me how my baby was doing. I will definitely use her again. Thanks again Elan for giving me a piece of mind. :)”

About: New to Rover, but not to pet sitting. Hi! My name is Mackenzie and I’ve grown up with taking care of cats and dogs my whole life. I adopted my two cats five years ago and they are my world. I started sitting 22 years watching my neighbors animals while they were away. I’m an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pet. I am reliable and take any opportunity to help other fur parents out there. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes, energy levels, breeds, and ages. It’s important to provide pets with a safe and comfortable environment to ensure a stress free experience. As a pet owner myself it gives me comfort knowing my pets are safe while I am away. I am more than willing to provide updates and pictures after visits. I love giving walks in any outside areas whether that’s a backyard, neighborhood, or park. Having fun and giving affection is second nature to me. I will treat your pet as if they are my own! If you have any questions feel free to message me! I currently work on the week days, but work from home on Fridays. On the weekends I love spending time with my husband and our cats so it won’t be a problem to leave when needed. I thrive on routine and I know pets do as well. My cats have plenty of toys which they mostly don’t use because they love household items. When we get home from work they are always with us and love to cuddle. I follow instructions to anyone specifications as their owners know what they need best. If I have a question or are unsure of something I have no problem asking. I love to show affection to let pets know they are cared for.

“Kristen is great!! Cammie loves her walk time with her; she comes back well exercised and ready for a snooze.”

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and recently trained my own puppy. I have experience with watching some friend’s dogs for extended periods and taking them on walks. I am a college student so I would be available all day Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Wednesdays I could be available in the evening hours after my classes. I keep a close eye on the pets I watch and show them all love and care. The walks will be catered towards each dog’s preferences and health.

“Liz was attentive, caring and punctual. She has a love of dogs and it shows in her interactions. She took the time to walk my dog as well as make sure he was settled in before she left. We would definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life! And I have been caring for animals professionally for 6 years going on. I have 3 dogs that I’ve raised since they were puppies.I currently have a Pitt mix 6 year old dog named Kokoa, a 8 year old boxer/hound mix named Shiloh and a 11 year old chihuahua. So believe me, multiple dogs at one time is no problem. And I’ve learned some cool tricks over the years on how to deal with difficult dogs. I love running and weightlifting, so I can match your pup's energy. I consider myself an active person so I have no doubt I can keep up with your high energy pups. But I won't say no to just sitting on the couch with your pup by my side and having a movie night. I’m currently back home from college, I go to UMD. (GO TERPS!), and so my availability is wide open, and available for overnight care, dog walks, and drop in visits. I'm currently have an internship on Mondays and Tuesday’s all day but those are the only times I’m unavailable. I am free wed-Sunday at any times. I am fully vaccinated, and am available to dog sit at your home, depending on your comfortability of course. A few years ago , Kokoa had to have TPLO surgery, and I cared for her throughout her recovery and medication administration, so if you have a pup with special needs, I have experience and can deliver! i do have experience caring for smaller animals like rabbits too. I provide scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, affection and any other additional needs.

About: Hi!! My name is Hannah and when I’m not taking care of animals, I am teaching third grade! I have two cats of my own (who I am totally obsessed with), and have had dogs while growing up. I have experience with many different cat personalities and all sizes of dogs. On top of that, I have house sat for co-workers and friends in the past and taken care of others cats and dogs. While house-sitting, I’ve tended to plants, helped get the mail and made sure their house was secure while they were gone. Before moving to the area, I volunteered for many months at a humane society. I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your fur-baby and loving them like my own! I can take care of your pet before work & after work and/or on the weekends. Please just communicate with me what works best for your family. I am eager to learn how to best care for your pet, as each pet has their own set of needs. Please let me know anything specific and I will follow it.

About: My name is Lora, I have over 22 years in pet sitting/pet care business. I treat each pet with tender loving care, as if they were part of my own family. I grew up with pets and have experience with all ages. I started pet sitting after our pets passed away. Caring for other people’s pets fills my love tank. There is nothing like the feeling of forming a bond with a pet. We have a huge fenced in yard where your pets can run, play, or just take in the scenery. If your pet prefers walks, we also have a super long driveway where they can get in some exercise. Your pet will never be left alone. I are home full time, so frequent play time, potty breaks, and belly rubs are always on our schedule. I provide all my clients with pictures and messages letting them know that their pets are in wonderful hands. One thing we can guarantee is that your pet will be taken care of extremely well so you can have a worry free time away. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can pretty much make anything work for a client. My house is clean, pet friendly, and has plenty of room run inside and out. I care for your pet as if it was my own. After being around your pet and speaking with the owners you learn what the pet loves. So I try to include those special items in the pets day along with sticking to their regular feed and potty breaks.

About: I’ve had all types of pets growing up (hamsters, rabbits, dogs, and 1 cat). As an adult, I’ve had 1 dog, 2 guinea pigs, and currently have 1 leopard gecko (caged in my son’s room). I have three small children so caring for a pet full time is not in the cards for our family right now but it hurts my soul to not have any in our home. I thought this would be a great opportunity to get my fill for my love of dogs and cats until we are ready for our own again. I am very active and walk my 10k+ steps a day and would love to have a walking buddy with me. I work full time but from home. My three children are in some form of child care Mon - Fri. *Summer schedule for kids varies* I have two yards. One large yard, great for running around. We also have a smaller yard that was purposely created for dogs to go to the bathroom when the former owner lived here as she was a foster for dogs.

About: I’ve been sitting for cats for family members for over 5 years whenever there’s been a vacation, and I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs for the same time. I also volunteer for BARCS and take care of animals there. I’m a substitute teacher so I only work during the school day and and therefore always up early in the morning and done working before the traditional business day. I cannot pet sit at my own home, but I’ve walked dogs and cared for cats in their homes. I’m very relaxed and care for the pets carefully by the instructions of the owners and report what went on with the pets and if there were any unusual incidents. I also have experience with pets who have are recovering from injuries so it’s important to me to be communicative with the owners.

About: Hey! I’m a 20-year-old college student who’s been caring for dogs for the past 5 years. I’ve looked after all kinds of dogs — from energetic dogs to senior dogs—and I always try to make sure they have fun. I’m also a lifeguard, but I have a flexible schedule. If you’re looking for someone reliable who likes being around animals, I’d love to help take care of your dog! I am available every day of the week to take care of your pets but am also working as a lifeguard so will need to work around that at times (I mostly only work as a lifeguard 2 or 3 days of the week for 4 hour shifts) When I’m staying at your home to care for your dog, I follow their usual routine—whether that’s meal times, walks, or just hanging out. I also make sure to treat your home with the same care I’d want for my own.

About: With experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, and aquatic animals, I’m glad to provide care to the pets who complete your family! I’m located in Sykesville, MD, but able to travel in central Maryland to meet your needs. I am available most week days, and with a few days notice, I’m glad to provide care on weekends to fit your pet care needs. Safety is a priority, along with care and engagement. While caring for pets, I look out for their safety by keeping a watchful eye on them, and always ensuring they are in a safe environment.

About: I've been caring for cats and dogs my entire life, and my love for animals knows no bounds. My Pomeranian, Dachshund, and Pitbull all lived to the ripe old ages of 16 and 17, thanks to the simple secret of love. Currently, I have a stunning 90-pound Pitbull/Cane Corso mix who is 7 years old. Although I only have my one girl now, I grew up surrounded by a variety of cats and mixed dog breeds. I can't wait to take exceptional care of your beloved pet. I reside in the Eldersburg area and have a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. I can adapt to almost any schedule you need. I prioritize the safety and well-being of your furry friend. I ensure that all walks are conducted in safe, dog-friendly environments, avoiding areas with heavy traffic or potential hazards. I follow strict leash etiquette and am vigilant about weather conditions to keep your pet comfortable and secure. Additionally, I am attentive to your dog's behavior and health, making sure they interact amicably with other dogs and minimizing the risk of infections or diseases. Your dog's safety is my top priority, and I strive to provide a fun, enriching, and secure walking experience.

About: I have grown up around dogs since I was younger. I currently live with two dogs and two cats. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I am comfortable giving medications, keeping up with routines, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I’m also very reliable, easy to communicate with, and always happy to send photo updates while your away! Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I build my schedule around their routines to make sure they get the attention, care, and consistency they’re used to. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m flexible and reliable to meet their needs throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them with the same care and respect as I would my own. I stick to their usual routines, follow all instructions carefully, and create a calm, familiar environment so pets feel safe, relaxed, and at ease. Building trust is key—I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, and always ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being during every visit.

I am currently a part time student so I have plenty of time in between classes and my classes are online so I don’t actually have to leave the house at all. I have a fenced in yard and a golden retriever that is 4 years old to play with your dogs. Also a very big park right next to my house to play fetch and run around at
