Dog Walkers in Linthicum Heights, MD

About: Hi, I’m Michael! I’ve spent the past few years helping care for my stepmother’s pets whenever she needed an extra hand. At first, I didn’t think much of it — but over time, I realized how much I truly enjoyed it. That passion inspired me to start offering my pet care services to others! Here’s a little about my experience: • Feeding pets on a regular schedule • Walking and cleaning up after them • Administering medications (pill form) • Refilling water and ensuring hydration • Spending quality time playing, relaxing, and keeping them company I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am currently a college student at UMBC and work at a bar on Thursday nights. As a result, my availability is primarily on Fridays and weekends. I am generally free during these times unless I have a prior commitment. I make it a priority to maintain a flexible schedule to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets When caring for pets, I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, making sure to stick to every detail. I take pride in being thorough and dependable because I believe every pet deserves the best care. My goal is to ensure that each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away.

“Nia was wonderful with our 5 year rescue. Our dog can be a bit fearful and nervous around strangers. During the initial meet and greet, Nia spent over an hour building rapport and trust with our dog which was awesome. She tried a lot of different strategies and finally got her comfortable enough to go out for a walk, which was no mean feat. Nia was also very communicative - keeping us updated if she was running late. She provided detailed updates and photos on the daily Rover cards which kept us informed and comforted that our doggo was well taken care of while we were away.”

“A big thanks to Tabitha for coming out last min. Coda is super friendly and loves everyone. The walk was not far in distance especially for being an hour but I know he appreciated being out for a while. Thanks again for helping out and thanks for pictures!”

About: Seasoned pet owner and handler only 7 minutes from BWI airport! I’ve had dogs and cats ever since I was a child. I volunteered with a cat rescue for over ten years until I had children of my own. We then began to foster dogs as a family in 2019 and have fostered 29 homeless dogs of various sizes, breeds, and ages until adoption. There isn’t a lot we haven’t already encountered. We are often the first call in our neighborhood regarding any pet related questions, and neighbors, friends, and family have relied on us to walk, play with, love, feed, offer doggy daycare and overnight boarding, and administer meds to their pets for years. It just makes sense to open up our services to everyone while I am in between projects! We have bathed, groomed, and trained (potty trained and obedience trained) our own dogs as well as our fosters. Your pet will receive not just one set of loving hands, but a whole family should you choose us! With a five person, four pet household, your pet will never be bored or lacking love or attention. While your pet is in our care you will receive text and picture updates throughout their stay. We know your pet is a member of your family, so we strive to make them feel like a member of our family during their stay. We have a plethora of bones and balls and toys, so they will surely find some favorites during their pet vacation. I’m a self-employed Project Management Professional who is not taking any projects while my children are transitioning to new schools, so I am home all day outside of transporting them. I enjoy taking my pups (and yours, if they are up for it!) with me for car rides if we don’t need to go inside. I like to end car rides with a Starbucks pup cup or at least a treat. Thank you for considering me for the gentle, loving care of your pet while you are away. Regarding safety and our environment, we have a big, fenced-in backyard (a 6-foot privacy fence) where dogs can run and play. We also have two dogs and two dog-friendly, indoor-only cats of our own who have helped foster 29 homeless dogs over the three years before we began Rover. Our dogs like to play and will keep your fur baby company. We treat our furry guests like they are one of our own and they are welcome to sleep in our bed, lie on our couch, and/ or we can crate them to rest - whatever you prefer and they find most comfortable. We have a lot of love in our home to give to your pet. ❤️

About: With experience caring for my rescue dog, an Aussie-Beagle mix, I offer personalized care for all dogs: puppies, seniors, and those with special needs, ensuring they feel at home! I’m available throughout the day to give your dog the attention, care, and playtime they deserve. Your pet will never feel alone! I have a dog park in my community and I can take them there to play as well. In my home, your pet will receive personalized care with daily playtime, walks, and plenty of attention. I create a safe, comfortable space where they feel loved and secure.

“OMG!! Lanese was a last minute lifesaver before my trip! She was very thoughtful and accommodating towards the task of daily walks for Max. Lanese was always on time and made sure she thoroughly fulfilled the walk. Her daily communication while I was away gave me assurance. She is a 10/10 and I definitely recommend her for any one in need of her services! Will definitely call on again in the future! Thanks so much!!!”

“Fennel is an outstanding sitter! They always keep me informed about the status of my pet and provide feedback and photos even when it is just for a short walk. They were also extremely helpful and reliable when I booked them for an all day stay. Highly recommend!”

About: I have a big yellow Labrador and I have been taking care of him all of his life! He is 14 so he is a senior and I have watched younger dogs many times also! I am a college student so right now I have the summer off, but I work mainly on the weekends for Howard County as sports tournament staff! While visiting a clients home I can easily make sure the pet will be safe based on what the pet’s needs are! I am also a collegiate athlete so I will be an active sitter/walker for your pet!

About: • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. I go above and beyond with detailed "report cards", daily photo and video updates, or regular check-ins via text or email. I take the time to build trust with nervous, shy, or reactive dogs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I work part-time from Saturday through Tuesday, but I'm completely free on my days off and on Monday mornings until 2:00 PM. I'd love to provide companionship and care during those times, ensuring your pet is never alone for long. I always match the owner’s exact routine to keep the pet calm. I provide tailored in-home care for all types of pets, ensuring they stay safe and happy in their own environment. I treat every home with respect and send regular updates so you have peace of mind

“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”

“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!”

Lance L.

“Ryan was reliable and showed up on time and made an extra effort to get to know my dog and make my dog feel comfortable. I really appreciate Ryan walking Eli and will be booking him in the future!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or a little patience and encouragement, I’m happy to provide attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.

About: Hey! My name is Briana and I grew up with groomers and animal rescuers for parents. I was taught how to birth, wean, potty train, and care for many types of animals. I have worked in my parents grooming shop to help over the years and this included walking and bathing dogs. I have not only work experience and lived experience but also my passion for animals especially being a cat/dog mom myself. I have special experience with senior dogs and puppies, including wound care, medicine needs and dedicated time/attention. I can't wait to meet your furry loved one! I am currently very flexible and have a lot of open availability therefore what works for the client, I will be able to accommodate. Whether that means once a day walks 5x a week or if we need to do check ins and potty breaks 3+ times a day I am able to provide that. I am unable to host animals inside of my home due to my own cat not being a friendly guy. In my clients home I follow all rules set in place as well as keeping your furry loved one comfortable in their existing routines or whatever the client's expectations would be. I prefer taking written directions just so I have something I can always check back to ensure the most efficient care.

About: I have over 6 years experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality, whether that means extra walks, extra cuddle time, or a calm and patient approach with shy pets. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m also reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. I'm currently staying at home, so I have very flexible dates and times for walks, also for overnight care of either short or long term. If the pet care is in my house, I have a fenced in backyard with lots of space to run around and sunbathe, and also a all weather sunroom, so even on rainy days everyone can get a little peak of the backyard and do some birdwatching! No kids or pets, two adults. If the care is in your home, I'm comfortable with indoors or outdoors playing and also walks. Just show me around, give me instructions and I will be happy to follow them!
