“Great communication!”

“Was searching for a walker very last minute and I could not have been luckier to have been able to get Jake to care for my dog! I felt so secure and comfortable with him in his care and he was so responsive and kind, and I will surely be looking him up well in advance of my next trip so I have a good chance of being able to have him walk my little guy again! Thank you so very much, Jake!!!”

“Today was Kayla’s first time walking Maeve and I totally recommend her! She is super friendly & Maeve warmed up to her right away & didn’t want to leave Kayla even after their walk was over. Thank you, Kayla! ?”

About: I'm an animal lover who's grown up with multiple family members who owned dogs and have had my own German Shepherd for years since puppyhood! Well versed in caring for, walking, and enjoying company of pets. I'm a college student currently working part-time and studying for the LSAT, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that can work well for you! My approach would be to try to provide structure to the animals while following the rules and preferences of the clients. I've found my own dog is the happiest when provided efficient stimulation, so I would want to provide that for any pets I was sitting.

“Loved Lisa’s personality. I appreciated her coming to meet with me and my doggies prior to the scheduled dog walk. Everything went smoothly. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Professional, easy to communicate with. Taaj treated my pup with care and though it’s been only two days, I have a sense of trust to him entering my home and taking care of my pup.”

“We love having Madison over to care for our pups! We trust her very much and our puppies are always happy to see her and so comfortable around her :)”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs, I stand out as a pet sitter due to my ability to also look after my clients’ plants/garden from time-to-time. My lifelong passion for animals includes providing special care for young and senior dogs, ensuring their health and happiness. My current schedule varies, but I typically work 7-hour shifts on Sundays and Mondays. On the these dates, I can manage pet care for all dogs that have a wait period to be let out 4-8 hrs. If necessary, I have the flexibility to call off work to ensure your pets are well taken care of. From Tuesday to Saturday, I have open availability, allowing me to dedicate ample time to pet care activities, such as walks, feeding, and playtime. This arrangement helps me balance work commitments while ensuring your pets receiving the attention and care they need. In caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I ensure to follow detailed instructions provided by the client to meet the specific needs of their dog. For instance, if a dog is anxious during thunderstorms, I am proactive in reaching out via call or text to discuss calming strategies. Additionally, I always clarify any boundaries regarding what I can handle or access in the home and to build a stronger rapport, I will arrange pre-sitting meetings with clients to better understand their preferences and to bond with their dog(s).

“Thank you!”

About: I care for dogs of all ages—from puppies to seniors—with personalized, positive reinforcement training. Currently pursuing behavior modification certification, I have experience with obedience training (AKC Canine Good Citizen / Urban Canine Good Citizen), sports (Fast CAT, agility), trick training, scent work, reactivity, and separation anxiety. I also hold canine first aid training and am prepared for emergencies. Friendly, patient, and attentive, I provide tailored care to meet each dog’s unique needs. Dog Walks (Neighborhood - 30 & 60 min, Nearby Parks - 60 min) - Monday, Wednesday, Friday: AM, Midday, PM - Tuesday, Thursday: AM, Midday - Saturday, Sunday: AM, PM Drop-In Visits (Play-Time, Companionship, Lunches, Potty Breaks, Check-Ins) - Monday, Wednesday, Friday: AM, Midday, PM - Tuesday, Thursday: AM, Midday - Saturday, Sunday: AM, PM I can accommodate breakfast and dinner schedules, daily walks, and playtime based on their needs. Whether a structured routine—for training or specific needs—or a flexible schedule for house checks and companionship, I tailor care to fit each pet's routine and the pet parent’s preferences. For Rover clients, I provide in-home care by visiting the pet in their own environment. I prioritize understanding each dog’s routines, feeding needs, and training rules to ensure consistency and comfort. I typically work within the neighborhood or nearby parks for walks, but occasional off-site outings to parks or pet-friendly stores are available if suitable and agreed upon. As I am not currently offering boarding, all care is provided in the client's home, focusing on maintaining a familiar, safe, and enjoyable routine for each dog.

About: I am a stay at home mom to 2 girls, ages 4 and 5 and we recently moved to the area! My husband is in the Navy. We live in a townhouse in North Beach, MD. I have a cat that can be timid with new animals, and tends to hide until he feels more comfortable. I would love to help out with your furry family members! I hate when I have to be away from mine so I would give them tons of love so they feel comfortable and at home while you are away. I am available for all needs except for pet sitting in your home, since I have kiddos that need me at my home. Please let me know if I can help you out in any way! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. I am with my girls a lot this summer but they would LOVE to accompany me on visits with your pet! I will have a lot more independent time this fall once they start school. We do not have a fenced in yard but I would be happy to do as many walks as needed for your pup! Our cat can be weary with new animals but he hides and then warms up quickly.

“Thanks for walking him today!!❤️”

About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active.

About: I've always had a dog in my house since I was a kid. I understand how they become family. And will provide the same excellent care that you do! The thing I love most about animals is there's no b.s. They are acting purely instinctual. So, I find I can understand them more often than most adults. I raised my dog Cita from a puppy to the ripe old age of 17. I also helped raise two Frenchie's, Magnus and Daphne. I am currently a stay-at-home Dad. I'm open 9 am and on to take care of your animal's needs. During the day I will have my daughter with me. I Provide dog and cat care. I will check-in or walk your fur babies. Make sure their food and water are good. Provide medicine if needed. Also play with them with their favorite toy!

About: Hi! I’m Sarah – a lifelong dog lover and experienced pup parent. 🐾 Dogs have always been a part of my life.

“Very flexible and friendly!”

“Makayla is doing a great job with both our dogs. Our one dog, Enzo is very shy and is timid around people. The other, Laney is very out going 8 month old puppy and loves everyone. Makayla has been walking them or letting them out for about 3 weeks now. At first Enzo wouldn't come to her, but she stayed persistent and continued to offer him treats and befriend him. Now, Enzo is happy to see her when she get there and even wags his tail and comes to great her at the door. She always sends me a quick text about how they did, although I'd like a picture a little more often. I will continue to use her as she is always on time and lets me know if she is running the slightest bit late.”

About: I have been fortunate enough to have both cats and dogs in my life since I was a child. I absolutely LOVE the different personalities and trying to figure out what makes each animal uniquely who they are. I have a knack for knowing and feeling exactly where your fury friend needs to be pet and loved on. I believe each pet has their own special needs and I'm determined to find what that is. I'm a quick learner and very patient. I am a mother of two daughters 24and 28, and a beautiful grandson that is 2.5. I have been a mom to 4 dogs and 6 cats in my life thus far. Hoping to add to my family as soon as I settle down. I’m currently in Annapolis, waiting for my second grandson to be born. I am retired, yet, currently studying to be a health and wellness coach. I am free most days and nights. In clients home, I would do as requested and make sure to stay on any timeline that’s necessary. It’s important that your pet/pets feel safe and loved.
