Dog Walking Long Green

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.

“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”

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.

“Michelle really helped me out with very short notice! She was great with my lab Toby and arrived promptly. Will absolutely reach out to her again.”

About: My parents got our 1st dog when I was only in Kindergarten and we grew up side by side, which is why I love dogs! Consequently, I started pet sitting about 15 years ago when I was still in high school. Taking care of my friends' and neighbors' pets helped me raise money for summer service trips. During college and into my adulthood, I cared for our family dogs as they grew old and more needy. Through the years, I have gotten to know many cute fur babies and I would love to meet yours! **Unfortunately, due to a cat allergy, I am not able to accept cat sitting requests.** I am substitute teacher on summer vacation, so my schedule is generally open. I am plenty available to spend some quality time with your pets while you're away! Please let me know if your dog is afraid of any particular people, animals, or inanimate objects i.e.( men, thunderstorms, vacuums). I will always have your dog leashed as we take walks. If your dog also uses a harness, I am happy to accommodate that as well. Sadly, if you also have cats in your home, I cannot provide you with my services due to a cat allergy. **Unfortunately, due to a cat allergy, I am not able to accept cat sitting requests.**

“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 been around animals my entire life and have always had both dogs and cats growing up. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my daily life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Over the years, I've regularly dog sat and walked my neighbor's dog as well as friends' dogs. Through word of mouth, they've recommended me to other families, and I've had the opportunity to provide drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship for their pets while they're at work or away. As an elementary school teacher, I'm dependable, patient, and responsible. I understand the importance of routines, paying attention to details, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they're my own and always strive to provide reliable, compassionate care. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend pet care. During the school year, as an elementary school teacher, my availability is primarily on weekends, with occasional availability during school breaks and holidays. I always make time to provide reliable, attentive care and ensure each pet receives the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs before every visit. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any household rules to keep your pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost respect. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, provide plenty of love, playtime, and exercise, and can send photo and text updates if wanted so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and well cared for until you return.

“Amazing service! She refilled my boy water bowl and offered to wipe his paws after the walk. I will be rebooking.”

“In the short time that Elise helped me with my dog she was very responsible and truly helpful. She was always very communicative and very positive. I will definitely look for her again. Very reliable!”

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.

“Jasmine has been great and so patient with my dog. He gets very nervous with the strangers at first but she did really well with him. I would highly recommend her!”

I’ve grown up with multiple dogs in one house and know the different needs each dog requires! 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.

About: I am currently in college and have a huge love for all animals! I will gladly take care of dogs and cats any size and age. I would prefer to come to your home for over night boarding. I will lay on the floor and pet your dog or cat for hours. Pets are therapy! I love cats just as much as dogs. I grew up in a house with at least 2 dogs and cats at a time. Pets are family and they will be treated as such. I love being outside so I will walk your dog for however long they want to go for. Walks shouldn’t be rushed. I’m excited to meet all the animals I can ! I’m a nursing student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets. Whether you need early morning, evening, overnight, or weekend care, I’ll do my best to work with your schedule. My goal is to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow their normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and always treat them like they’re my own. If your dog enjoys adventures, I know several great local trails for walks, and if they prefer relaxing at home, I’m happy to do that too.

About: I have taken care of all different types of dogs for varying amounts of time and looking forward to taking care of many more ! 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: I’m currently training to be a therapist so I have a keen sense for emotions… pets included! I’ve dog sat for family numerous times and am hoping to branch out. I love being around animals, am a very easy guest, and will happily send you any pictures of your pets! I have class 1-9pm on Monday and Wednesday but am mostly free otherwise! I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animal since I was a baby! Growing up, I was always asked if I lived on a farm because of all the pets we had (I did not, but it felt like one). This includes large and small dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, guinea pigs, ducks, guinea hens, snakes, a turtle, and fish. Being surrounded by all these animals while growing up has made caring for animals come naturally to me. Currently, I do not have any pets where I live, but I still consider my two cats and a large yellow English lab as my pets! Although I am new to Rover, I have years of experience of pet sitting various types of animals of all ages. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and am very active, so I would make sure to spend plenty of quality time taking them on long walks or when stopping in for a visit :) I also love spending time with cats and other animals, so I would always be free for a drop in! I am currently a nursing student on summer break, so I am free for drop-ins and walks whenever needed, and am very flexible to last-minute requests. I am available mostly during the weekdays at any time, and some weekends as well. When in your home, I will follow your normal routine with your pet closely to make sure they feel comfortable and loved, whether that is long walks around the neighborhood/on a trail, visits to the park, special treats, or anything else they might enjoy.

“Brian was great! Super punctual and a true dog lover who was more than willing and able to handle some extra accommodations for our senior dog. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again!”

I’ve had to look out for family friends dogs before and have had a blast doing it!

I would always put my pets safety first.
