Dog Walkers in Long Green, MD

About: I am an enthusiastic and active animal lover with over 20 years experience. We live across from the Loch Raven reservoir within walking distance of many hiking trails. We enjoy playing with our pets in our fenced in backyard as well as taking nature hikes on the many trails across from us. Growing up, we had a dog and two cats. Currently, I delight in taking care of our 10 year old cat and 3 year old dog! I love being active with animals and walking them. Our house and yard are very pet friendly! I also am comfortable with admin of needed meds and grooming. The pets who stay with us are welcomed as part of the family. For boarding, we can accommodate one dog per night. We do not board cats. We have a fenced in backyard with about an acre of land. We have a 3 year old dog who is friendly. We have a shy 10 year old cat who will hide from other animals that she doesn’t know. We have hens, but they are fenced in completely.

As a college student, I’m hoping to take care of your furry friend over breaks and weekends here and there when I am free ! I love a schedule and organization so if you give me instructions, I am all over that! I will try my hardest to stick to your dog’s routine!

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I regularly dog/ cat sit for my neighbors since I was 10. Sometimes I like animals more than people. I’m currently a part time student at Towson with a part time job, Monday through Thursday. I have plenty of breaks throughout the day to spend with your pet! Your pet is welcome anywhere in my apartment! Bring whatever toys/treat you want. Whatever makes them comfortable! I will love them like my own!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, both drop in and overnight visits, for two years now. I’ve dealt with small and large dogs and know how to handle them.

I am currently on break for summer from college so I am available anytime throughout the week and weekends. If you are booking day of please be aware I may have other arrangements but for the most part I should be free. Any rules and information I need are required before I enter the home. And for non emergency appointments a meeting with the dog and you present is preferred.

“Elvis is doing weekly walks twice a week with our dog. He does a great job and Bodie loves him. He always sends pictures to keep us updated and takes Bodie on long and varied walks. Highly recommend!”

About: I enjoy getting to know dogs and them getting to know me, becoming trusted friends. I grew up with dogs having bred Bassett Hounds as a kid with my father and have had dogs all my life. I even turned my wife into a dog lover. We now have an eight year rescued mix breed and often care for our adult children's dogs in our home. I also go to their homes every day to walk them and let them out. Your dog will love playing with me and walking with me as I really engage with them well and treat every outing as a adventure. I can't wait to meet your dog/s and begin a trusted relationship with them as with explore, play and walk.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, multiple breeds all sizes. I often grt to know the neighborhood animals as well, never enough animals to love. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats. I currently work a hybrid schedule between office and home, often early in the morning til 3pm but its flexible. I have a teen and a 8 year old. I used to have a fenced in yard however I now do not, I often walk my two dogs 60lbs each together, my dogs are couch potatoes and love to be lap dogs. My cats roam around cuddle on the couch or beds unless they hear food or treat bag.

About: I love all animals. I think they are truly such gifts to the world. My experience ranges from puppies and kittens to more senior dogs. One of my regular clients has a dog that requires a little more TLC as he has thyroid and eye issues that require specific medication. I like to ensure all animals are well-loved, cared for, and have all of their needs met. I'm currently a freelancer that can work from anywhere, so I have tons of free time to ensure all pets are well-loved and cared for! I like to thoroughly discuss with my clients what their normal routine with their pets are. Are they allowed on the couch? How often do you go on walks? Dietary restrictions? How often are they fed and how much? Any medications I need to account for? Vet information for emergencies? Etc. Once I've taken all of that information into account, I'll apply all of it during my time with the pets and also supply them with all of the love and attention they could possibly need.

About: *Please note, I will happily work with furry friends that are outside of my displayed work zone, if that is a situation that works for everyone. I truly am a dog and cat person. Dogs,and cats, are part of our families, and enrich our lives. I will always treat your baby, just as you would. I grew up with dogs. When I begged my mom at 12, and got my own dog, my mom told me I would have to do the work, and my mother doesn’t play. I did the work, trained my puppy to use one side of the yard for potty. She was trained so well, she could be walked off leash, and always responded. My dog had allergy problems, at age 12 I gave my dog allergy shots. As an adult, I lived in apartments, and cats suited my life better. I babysat a few cats, one for a month, and then adopted my first cat. Another cat came for a home to my back door. Both of my cats were raised with 3 kids, harmoniously. My schedule is open, whether you need play and activity for your pets, check-ins, or overnights. Mornings, nights, or weekends, I’m here to help your family! My goal caring for your babies, in their homes, is to keep their lives as stable and consistent as possible. I know how important keeping your fur family’s lives as regular as possible is, when you can’t be there. I love your advice on the details of what your baby/babies wants and needs when you can’t be there.

About: My mom is a veterinarian so I have always been around animals. I have fostered and cared for many animals throughout my life having grown up on a farm. I also am currently training a service dog which is very rewarding! I am home from college right now, so my daily life doesn’t really change much. I am pretty much available for your animal at any moment of the day! I want to make sure your animals feel safe in their space without you for a little while! I want to disrupt their routine as little as I can and my priority is caring for them!

About: Hello, I’m Sabrina! I have always been involved in animal care spaces. I volunteered as a behavior volunteer for several years at Friends For Life Animal Shelter, where I learned about canine and feline behavior. I am certified in canine and feline CPR and first aid through PetTech! Your furry friend is always safe with me! Last summer, I worked as a canine care attendant at The Barking Muse where I walked dogs, monitored day care, facilitated activities and basic training, and cared for our boarders! I’d love to continue my pet care journey with you! Currently, I’m a college student home for the summer, so my schedule is wide open! I’d love to fill my time by providing quality pet care! I always meet the pet where they’re are at. I will never force a pet to anything it doesn’t want to and believe in understanding their behavior and boundaries. Through this method I’ve successfully addressed anxiety in both cats and dogs and formed meaningful connections!

“I had the pleasure of hiring Heather for daily drop-in visit's and I honestly can't say enough good things. She is incredibly reliable, kind, and truly cares about my dog like he was hers. Maverick gets so excited every time I leave for work and tell him that Heather will coming to see him—it’s clear to me just how much trust and affection has built up between them in such a short time! Communication is excellent, with regular report card updates and fun photos from their outings. It's such a relief knowing someone so responsible is helping care for my fur baby . If you're looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and genuinely passionate about animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Heather!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and have never gone a day without an animal in my home. I love connecting with animals, making them feel safe, and respecting their boundaries. I've also had multiple dog care professionals in my life, groomers and trainers, who have helped me understand the better the basics about dog care and general wellbeing. Though my experience is mostly with cat and dog care, I am excellent at following instructions and feel comfortable proving care for all animals! I have a completely free schedule! I can accommodate pretty much any schedule for pet parents! This includes any pets that do better with solo care! I care for your pets the same way I care for mine, with love, respect, and immense care. Any care needs you have, walks, feedings, crating, I can accommodate! After 3 years as a teacher in k-12 environments, wrangling a few animals will be much easier than the 30 I'm used to!

“Ashleigh was a caring and compassionate dogwalker for my elderly dog. Very reliable as well. I highly reccomend Ashleigh.”

About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!
