Dog Walkers in Linganore-Bartonsville, MD

“Grace was great with our energetic puppy Darcy. He was anxious to meet someone new, but she calmed him down with treats and pets. She was very communicative and arrived right on time. Would definitely recommend her as a dog walker!”

Sarah F.

“Valerie was extremely patient and kind with the dogs who were timid when she arrived. She took the time to let them warm up, eat, and also come to her for pets. Charlie requires insulin injections and Valerie came over before the visit to see how to perform it. We will gladly have her take care of the brood again.”

“Misty is fantastic. Caring about your pup…treats like her own. On time, just wonderful to work with, and my dog never looked back as he went out the door. Instantly knew he was loved.”

“Maegan did a great job with our dogs! It was comforting to know they were being loved on and walked while we attended an out of town event. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”

About: I have worked with pets since I started working at all. My first job was at a pet store, and since then I have years of experience working in San Diego as a vet assistant and a shelter animal tech at the local humane society. I also have my own wonderful pets and have tons of exotic pet experience as well as cats and dogs from my many jobs over the years. I was also a lab animal tech before too! I love animals of all shapes and sizes and would be happy to take care of yours. Currently I do not have another job and I only plan on going back to school later in the year so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets. I love walking dogs and caring for cats so much. I have walked many kinds of dogs of many different sizes and temperaments especially as an animal caretaker at the behavioral center in the San Diego humane society. Safety is important to me and I will make sure your pets are safe and well cared for.

“Adrienne is thoughtful and caring and very very good at communicating. This is my 3rd time leaving my dog (a somewhat demanding pug) in her care. It will certainly not be our last.”

About: My experience and education ensures the safety of animals of varying temperament levels and backgrounds by using different approved methods of training and mental enrichment activities (please inquire for more detail). I adapt quickly and enjoy creating new games or activities. My schedule changes frequently and sometimes at the last minute. I often accept requests up to 3 months ahead of time. If needed, I'm able to respond to last minute requests. I anticipate and meet the needs of animals by observing their breathing, posture, and behavior. Typical care includes but is not limited to: diet, exercise, medication management, obedience training and general housekeeping.

“Kris was an excellent dog walker/caregiver! She was prompt and made sure Gus was well walked and cared for. I will definitely hire her again!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with childhood dogs (Lab and a Scottish Terrier) and love all animals! I'm the go-to dog sitter for both family and neighbors as we have lots of extra room in our house and hearts, along with a fenced in yard. I can't wait to treat your baby like my own! My husband works from home and can let your fur baby outside as needed and keep them company. I love to cater to your dogs needs! Whether that's a game of fetch in the back yard, going for a long walk, meeting new friends at my neighborhood dog park, or hanging out on the couch, I'm just happy to have them around! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly cat at home. He keeps to himself for the most part. I also have two children who love to play with and respect animals as much as I do!

“James is so caring and super responsive. I trust that he'll look after my dog and treat my dog like his own. He pays attention to details and is playful with my pup!”

About: I have raised my own dog since she was ten weeks old, mentored by my father who has raised three litters of puppies throughout his life. I have also done pet-sitting for friends and family for dogs as small as beagle puppies to as large as a Labrador. I am currently on summer break from graduate school, but I take five- mile walks every morning year-round. As my classes are in the evening, I can fit dog-walking into my schedule in the mornings and early afternoons. I am attentive and responsible for my pets needs, and take pride in ensuring that the animals I care for are happy and healthy. I have a nine-year-old mixed breed dog who enjoys her daily walks and sunbathing on the deck, but does not enjoy the company of other dogs very much.

“Juliana has done very well walking my dog. He looks forward to his walks with her and is happy afterwards. I would book Juliana again to walk my dog.”

About: Hi, I’m Riley! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, and even lizards. Whether it’s a high energy puppy, a senior pet who needs extra TLC, or an anxious animal who needs a gentle approach, I’m here to help your pet feel safe, calm, and cared for. I grew up volunteering at animal shelters in Frederick and Montgomery County, where I learned how unique every animal is and the importance of meeting them where they are. I currently work as a Pre-K teacher, which has strengthened my patience, reliability, and nurturing approach skills I bring into every pet I care for. At home, I have large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger breeds and strong pullers on walks. I currently offer drop in visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to customize care based on your pet’s routine, energy level, and special needs. I’m available weekdays and weekends and can be flexible to fit your schedule. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a midday walk, or some extra companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’d love to set up a meet and greet and get to know you and your furry family! Currently I’m working full time as a teacher. I'm available for pet care during lunch breaks, weekends, and holidays. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or weekend sitting! In my home-I provide a calm, safe, and clean space where your pet can feel at home. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime. I keep the environment stress-free and never leave pets unattended for long. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and comfort! In your home- I treat your home and your pet with respect and care. I stick to your instructions, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, crate routines, or walk preferences. I keep things tidy, give regular updates, and make sure your pet feels secure in their own environment.

About: Hello! I am a 18-year-old girl looking to take care of your animals. Here is a bit of information about me: My personality is active communication, open-minded, and flexible. I like working with animals since my childhood with pet animals. I've taken care of fish, turtles, cats, and mainly dogs. In my spare time, I do online University with General Studies for the moment on Fridays and Saturdays. However, animal care is something I want to pursue with passion and love. I recently moved in the area, so I'm excited to work and spend time with family. I want to know specifics. If you answer any of my questions, I would appreciate it soo much. No intention to mess up, especially being new to everything. The goal is being helpful as possible for you and to do the very best that I can. I am in the Spring Ridge area. I can provide good feeding, walks, cleaning up dirt or messes, and proper potty time. Thank you for considering me! I am open minded to all animals except cats, I am sadly, allergic to the fur. I recently adopted a dog in my family and she is prioritized before any messes in the house. I want to express that full heartedly with your animals too. I can take them on a walk. I am mainly looking at dogs so I’m referring to them when I say taking on a walk or going potty. I can feed and give proper medication proportions. I can provide overnight care if you are on vacation or need someone present with your animals. If you need someone over during the day, then I can be the girl for you!

“Dominique is absolutely amazing with my dog Scarlet. From our initial meet and greet and all of her time and questions about my dog's specific needs, I knew she was a really caring and experienced dog handler. She knows my dog (unfortunately) loves to eat things off the ground and has to be watched liked a toddler, so she's incredibly attentive (and patient) with Scarlet. Would give Dominique 10 stars if I could and grateful to have her walking Scarlet on a weekly basis!”
