About: I have over 20 years of experience watching family and friend’s pets. I do over-night stays in your house with your pets, and dog walking. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, fish, and even lizards. I’m able to give medications, and I’m very good with senior pets. I was recently laid off and have completely open availability at the present time. I enjoy walking and would be happy to do that with your pet. I’m also available for home/pet-sitting during vacations. I have a senior cat who doesn’t do well with other animals so I can’t provide care in my home, but I have extensive experience providing care in my client’s homes. I respect my client’s homes and privacy - I do not bring guests into their homes or go through their belongings. I will keep your dog on-leash during walks but am happy to play with your dog in your yard or approved dog park.
“Thank you Lingli! You were kind, prompt and super communicative! I will be booking again soon. Thank you for taking care of Coffee and making him and me feel comfortable.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Carly made me and my pup comfortable with her right away! Thank you so much for a great experience and we look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Did an amazing job with Jasper! He got a good walk in and got to see his friends at Riverside Park. Commicated very well and took lots of pictures! Will definitely be using again and hopefully they get to hang out some more!”
“Kelli was very communicative and was very well prepared. She asked about the dogs preferences and what commands he followed. I could tell Jett was well taken care of when I got home. Will definitely use her again.”
“We needed a dog walker for the weekend and it was fairly last minute. We contacted Christine and she made the time to come over that day to meet Bandit and review what we needed. Over the weekend she was supposed to come for 30 minutes but walked and played with the dog for about 45 which was definitely appreciated. She kept in contact with us and was very friendly. We will definitely be using Christine again in the future!”
About: I have a history of household pets which encourages me to continue working with animals! As a full-time teacher, I’m strong in following instructions and providing clear and accurate support for your pet so you can relax while away. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to large, high-energy mixes like my college coach’s Great Dane-Mastiff dogs. I’m confident handling strong, powerful pups as well as more delicate or senior dogs who may need extra patience and care. My background has given me experience with everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to helping reinforce training routines and managing unique pet personalities. I’m also a strong communicator—I keep owners updated regularly with messages, photos, and anything else that offers peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priority, and I take pride in being someone both you and your pets can trust. I’m a full-time teacher and have summers off, which gives me a flexible schedule and the opportunity to take on more pet care responsibilities during that time. While I use some of the summer to travel and spend time with family, I also believe it’s important to keep working—and there’s no better way than by spending time with animals! Pet care fits naturally into my active lifestyle. I love getting outside, so dropping in for visits or taking your dog for a walk is just as rewarding for me as it is for your pet. My open summer schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present while caring for your pets. As a full-time teacher with multiple clearances, I bring responsibility, structure, and trust to every pet care visit. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel safe and cared for in their own space. I create a calm, consistent environment by paying close attention to details like feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment—providing the same level of care and respect I give to my own pets.
“Janine is the best. I can’t always count on her to walk Burke with such short notice. He loves his walks with her. And she is great with responding to my questions”
About: I love animals of all sizes. I have the entire summer off for your cutie pie to drop in and walk when you need a break or help. I live in Federal hill in baltimore for over 24 years so i am familiar with dog parks and walking areas. I am a high school art teacher of 3O years. I love the fast pace. In summer I go bananas if I am not walking or doing something. I have had two dogs that passed away recently. Stella was 18 and Demi Moore was 17. We have one cutie pie named Squishmallow and she does not like a long walk. I can administer medications and will love to take your doggie to parks or a quick outing. I have my summers off. I have an open schedule. I am an early riser and can walk mid day or afternoon. Some nights as well I prefer to walk dogs only. I can pick them up and take them to the park or walk to your house. I am open to what is need.
About: I’ve always helped to take care of my friends and neighbors’ pets. I’m new to the Baltimore/Towson area and looking for new clients :) Would love to learn about all the dog friendly places in the area that owners recommend :) I am new to the area so I am taking time to settle in before looking for jobs, so my schedule is very flexible currently! Since I just moved to the area, I am unemployed while I settle in so I have lots of free time to get back into pet sitting! I have a 2 year old cat as well as a rescued 6 year old dog. I enjoy playing with both of them and making sure they’re stimulated daily!
About: I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. I understand how important routines, environments, and individual needs are. From feeding and cleaning to enrichment and companionship, I provide gentle, reliable care that helps your pet feel safe and at ease while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life having a dog not just something I do, but something I genuinely love. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and comfort throughout the day. In my home I provide a calm, clean, and pet-safe space where your pet is treated like family. I follow your instructions for feeding, routines, and medications, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, comfort, and playtime. I maintain a consistent environment to help your pet feel secure, and I never take on more pets than I can give proper care and attention to. In your home, I aim to maintain their routine exactly as you’ve set it from feeding schedules and potty breaks to playtime and cuddles. I’m respectful of your space, tidy up after myself and your pets, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and emotional well being.
“So far, Henry loves William! William has been friendly, reliable, communicative, and responsible. He has been very easy to work with and we appreciate his easy going, respectful demeanor. Henry is looking forward to many future walks!”
