“Jennifer is an excellent and reliable individual to hire for all your pet walking and sitting needs! Always on time, responds to messages quickly, and puts in the extra work to show care for animals above and beyond a walk.”
“Bridget is an awesome dog walker. Coal usually barks at new people and all he wanted to do was go meet her so I knew we were off to a good start. Bridget is knowledgeable and patient and we’d love to book with her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Awesome!!! My baby was so worn out when she got home. I can tell she had a great time! Thank you”
About: Being a dog lover who was raised by dog lovers I’m very familiar with taking care of them. I have over 20+ years of taking care of dogs for family and friends, as well as owning my own! Our current dog Simon Garfunkel, is our oldest son’s service animal! I’m a stay at home mom who home schools her children. The ability to manage our own personal schedule will fit in very well with a working family. My flexibility makes it more convenient for you as well. I have a strong support system, so even if unforeseen “call out” situations may arise, the likely hood is low because i’ll have coverage for my family so I can be reliable for yours! a cd l As a stay at home mom, I’m the one always taking care of our puppers! Feeding him, letting him out, give any medications when necessary, taking him to the vets/groomers, cleaning up his messes, and of course our family walks!
“We have been working with Carol now for several weeks. We’d been looking for someone who could help walk our high energy pup during long work weeks so he wouldn’t end up alone all day. When we had a last minute cancellation, Carol came out of no where like a super hero. Safe to say, we have never looked for anyone else. Carol has loved our pup and even her name makes his tail wag. She’s always on time, always super communicative and always does an amazing job. Thanks, Carol!”

“Lori is very caring! She was very accommodating last minute and I’m grateful for her time with my fur babe.”
“Thank you! Feel free to use the long leash and the treats to assist if she continues to run back and forth on the shorter leash. Great job so far !”
About: I have had animals throughout my whole life. The animal I’ve had with me the longest is my 15 year old chihuahua. I’ve had him since I was 5 years old. I grew up with him and I take really good care of him. He’s very healthy and also very spoiled. As of right now I’m only doing the dog walking service and the dog and cat drop ins. I am available anytime as of right now. I will give them lots of attention and love. If they have certain times they eat at I will feed them at those times. Whenever they need to go potty I will let them out if there is a fenced yard or I will walk them if there is not a fenced yard.
About: I have been caring for dogs for the past 25 years. Additionally, I have been actively involved with the MD SPCA for the last 8 years, both through volunteering and fostering. My dogs, both past and present, have been rescued. It gives me such joy and happiness seeing dogs come out of their shell when they realize they are safe and loved. I am accessible for drop-in and feeding visits on a weekly schedule from 10am to 7pm. Should there be a need for visits outside of these hours, it will be based on my availability. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood where we can go for long walks. I also have a fenced in yard where the pups can relax and engage in activities if they prefer.
“Victoria was very communicative and was very attentive to Mimi. Having Victoria check in on Mimi and take her for a walk is reassuring for me that Mimi is not alone all day. I have booked Victoria for repeat services.”
About: I can’t remember a time in my life where I didn’t have animals surrounding me in my home. I’ve had my own pets since I was younger and I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your loved ones. I treat animals the way I treat those around me, with love, respect, and dignity. I have over 5 years of experience pet sitting across a variety of animals, specifically cats and dogs. I have experience with medication distribution and identifying when an animal is not feeling well. I love to play and interact with pets and developing a relationship so they can feel comfortable with a new person. One way I like to play and interact is taking them for walks, fetch, and assuring they’re always happy in their surrounds.
“Thank you for walking Otis”
About: My patience and adoration for dogs is unmatched! I enjoy working with dogs of all ages and sizes, and will treat your pet with the same care and love I give my own. I am an Elementary Teacher hoping to fill up my free time (and summer months -- full time) up with lots and lots of four legged friends! I promise to treat your fur baby as if they were my own! My dog, Ryder, is a sweetheart and loves to play with his doggo friends -- I know that he would be amazing company for your pet. I can happily and easily crate your dog if need be, and will provide plenty of photos to keep your mind at ease.
About: I have been caring for various types of pets for over 40 years. Mostly dogs. I'm very experienced with senior dogs as well as puppies and everything in-between. I can even care for your tropical and saltwater fishies! Recently retired with all the time in the world to be home and available to your babies. I couldn't truly relax on vacation unless I was completely confident that my babies were loved, protected and spoiled with attention and love. This is what I will deliver. I know the drill on feeding, potty, meds, grooming(not professional just basic) and play, exercise, bedtime routines.....you name it! I can't wait to meet all my new friends. I'm available everyday and most holidays. Being retired really lets me be flexible. I do travel a few times a year for vacation and visiting family. Otherwise I will be available, often times on short notice. I have a small yard with a tall fence and a nice deck for lounging. I also love to take length appropriate walks relative to the dogs needs. Rain or shine.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and needs. I’ve cared for dogs that have medical needs like insulin and medication schedules. I have never not loved a dog I’ve ever experienced. As a teenager I rescued a dog from a neighbor and cared for her until cancer took her a few years too early. I also have experience with cats and caring for them. I have had small rodents for most of my adult life, so I’m comfortable with them as well! I have cared for birds and reptiles as well! I’m currently working from home and have the ability to have a flexible schedule, so I am able to spend time with your pups during the day! I ensure the safety of pets by following the parents requests first. I take their age (and breed) into consideration when playing with each pet. For example, if you have a 10 year old cat that is independent and doesn’t interact much, I will allow the cat to do as they please as long as it’s safe. However if you have a very dependent, puppy I will include the dog in my daily activities within reason.
About: Hii furr-friends & furr-parents 👋 . I’ve missed everyone oh so much and now that have more free times, I’m ready to start watching all the babies again. It’s been super lonely since we took a break from watching pets but we are back and soo excited ❤️ Here’s a little of our back story. I’ve been caring for dogs at home for about 7-8 years now. It really is a passion of mine. I’ve always like having a place complete different then an actual kennel. I always wanted something warm and cozy for my baby girl when boarded her, so I started doing this and absolutely fell head over paws inlove. Last year I lost Raven from cancer. This was the most heart breaking thing I have ever been through. I needed a break from the world. But now I’m really to be around all our friends again. I work in the mornings for a few hours while my fiancé is working nights. It allows someone to be home all the time with the animal. I have a fenced in yard and two for babies to keep your pets company. I can also keep them separated if necessary. I also have extra crates in needed.
