Dog Walking in Middle River

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with 20 years of experience owning and caring for dogs (and cats) of all ages, including senior dogs and those needing a little extra TLC. I love sending daily pictures for overnight boarders to put your mind at ease so you can enjoy time away. I treat every pet like my own—and I’d be honored to care for yours! I am very fortunate to have lots of flexibility in my daily/weekly schedule, allowing me to adapt to fit your pet care needs as needed! We have a safe, quiet, clean, child-free, and pet-free home. We are fortunate to live on a walking trail and near several parks to bring dogs to enjoy. We have a fenced in patio for safe outside time in between walks. Pets are treated with love like family!

“Adriane did an outstanding job befriending, walking, and playing with our ambitious Aussie while we traveled for 2 weeks. Will eagerly book her again!”

“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.”

“Abigail was SO great with my pups. They walked and played with the pups for an hour each time. My pups were always excited to see Abigail. Also, they were very prompt and always showed up on time. I’d recommend Abigail to anyone!”

About: I grew up with Rottweilers and have always loved dogs of all breeds and sizes. My most recent pet was a sweet Shih Tzu who needed a little extra tender care, which taught me the importance of patience and gentle attention. Cuddling is truly my favorite part of pet care, and I will treat your furry family member with the same love, respect, and affection I’d give my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule—just me and my laptop! I can work on the go, which makes it easy to prioritize your pet’s needs. While I may have the occasional client call lasting up to an hour, the rest of my time is dedicated to giving your fur baby the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I will carefully follow all rules, routines, and restrictions you provide to ensure consistency and peace of mind. In my own home, I’ve created a secure, pet-friendly environment—nothing is left out or easily accessible that pets can get into. I also have a spacious patio for supervised outdoor time, and the open layout of my apartment means your pet will always be within my line of sight.

“AMAZING! Great communication, my pup loves seeing her and spending time with her and she keeps him fresh on his skills!! It's so great to have found a fellow puppy raiser-- even though Potter is no longer in training, Bridget was easily able to pick up on his foundational skills and knowledge without me telling her and it's great for Potter to be able to practice and use some of that, even if it's just to work his brain and tire him out a little more!”

About: Here for your last minute doggy daycare & boarding needs! Greetings! My name is Trishelle & I look forward to meeting your furry acquaintances. I'm a dedicated and experienced small dog caregiver with over 3 years of hands-on experience providing personalized care for pups of all temperaments and energy levels. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, or doggy daycare, I treat every dog like family — because they are family. My specialty is caring for small breeds, and I understand their unique needs when it comes to exercise, attention, safety, and comfort. From daily walks and cuddle-filled playtime to stress-free overnight stays in a cozy, home-like environment, I ensure your pup feels secure, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am dependable, trustworthy, accommodating and flexible. Please inform me if your pet has specific needs such as a walking, food and allergies. I have a 2 year old miniature dachshund that is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs. We look forward to meeting you soon! Pet care is a central part of my daily life — not just a job, but a true passion woven into my routine. Each day is thoughtfully planned around the dogs I care for to ensure they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Mornings typically start with walks or breakfast for any boarding or daycare pups. Throughout the day, I schedule drop-in visits, enrichment activities, playtime, and potty breaks based on each dog's individual needs. For daycare dogs, I maintain a structured yet relaxed environment with plenty of cuddle time, short walks, and rest breaks to keep small dogs feeling safe and content. Evenings are often filled with winding down, dinner routines, and sending photo updates to pet parents. I also build in time for cleaning, prepping meals, and maintaining a calm, cozy home environment. Because I focus exclusively on small dogs, I can tailor my routine to their specific needs — whether that’s a midday walk, medication, or just sitting with a lapdog who needs some company. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my schedule — it is my schedule, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I care for my pets with the same love, attention, and consistency I’d want someone to give mine if I were away. That means providing a structured daily routine with regular meals, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I focus on creating a calm, clean, and safe environment, paying close attention to their behavior, mood, and health. Whether it’s keeping up with grooming, giving medication on schedule, or simply spending quiet time together, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and part of the family. I also believe in understanding each pet’s personality — some love to play, some just want to snuggle, and some need a little extra patience. I adjust my care to suit their needs, always leading with kindness and respect. For me, pet care isn’t just about meeting basic needs — it’s about nurturing trust and building a bond that makes every pet feel loved.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and it’s still one of my greatest joys. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to two pups: Roxy, my 16-year-old toy poodle with a sweet but sassy senior personality, and Pickles, our affectionate long-haired Chihuahua mix who loves everyone—dogs and people alike! Over the years, I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs with different temperaments and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and giving each dog the attention they deserve. I love going on walks and always enjoy bringing the dogs along for fresh air and exercise. My family enjoys having a house full of furry friends. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like part of the family in our home. I work from home, so when I board dogs, I am available to them all day and night. I also have my summers off, so I can make even more time for the dogs I walk or board in the summer months. In my home, safety and comfort are top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, and I’ve set up gated areas inside to provide quiet or separate spaces if a dog needs downtime. I have two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups, and my two children are gentle and respectful with animals—they love helping give our furry guests lots of attention and affection. I always take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet space, I’m here to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

“I’m so grateful to Elliot for helping me out in a pinch! He went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was well taken care of. At first, my dog was hesitant and wouldn’t let him get too close, but Elliot was patient and persistent, working to gain his trust without pushing too hard. Before long, my puppy warmed up to him and they had a great time together. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Elliot put in the extra effort to make sure he felt comfortable and cared for. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated dog walker!”

About: Hello! I have been a lover of animals my entire life, having had had dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs-- you name it, my family and I likely had it growing up. Currently, I only have my 8 and a half year old English Bulldog, Max-who is my pride and joy-but my wife and I plan to give him a brother or sister once I finish school. Having had various different breeds of dogs (large and small) over the last 28 years, I have experience with dogs of all different breeds, ages, and personalities. I would love to get to know your little (or big) furry friend! During the week, I am a full-time student and part-time law clerk, so my weekdays are generally pretty hectic. Nonetheless, my little guy gets his allergy pill, daily vitamins for coat, joints, and overall health, and face folds and ears cleaned every morning. My guy isn't all that active, being 8 and a half and an English bulldog, but he loves still love going are car rides and saying hello to his friends at the dog park. Being in a profession where rules are important and must be followed (law), I will carry that over to ensure that your animal is always safe while in my care and after; that I can be trusted to enter your home for the sole purpose of caring for your dog(s); and that I will leave your home in the same manner as I found it.

“Heather and Jennifer were genuinely kind, caring, and attentive to Gizmo and Cinci, who are senior dogs. This is my first time in 14 years using a dog walking service for the boys, and I am really happy that I chose them. They were very professional, responsible, and reliable!”

About: Although I currently have no pets, I have had dogs and cats for over 30 years. I am recently retired and looking to fill part of my days with lots of doggy and cat snuggles. I'd love to help with your fur babies! I am retired and am available daily when I am not traveling. I am usually an early riser, so those morning walks are not a problem. If I am caring for a pet in my home, I have them on a leash when outside. In your home, I will follow your routine and all instructions you leave.

“Erica did a great job with my big boy. He’s a tugger and she handled it really well. She was very communicative & took great pictures. The reviews were right, you should definitely have her walk your baby. When I came home he was excited to see me but well taken care of. Thank you Erica from Prince & I.”

About: Dogs have loved me since I was born. They all gravitate towards me and I speak their language. People have always noticed and they just know their dogs are in good and loving hands with me. On a weekly basis, pet care is a prioritized part of my routine, particularly during mornings and evenings when I dedicate time to walks, feeding, and interactive activities. My adaptable schedule accommodates drop-in visits or overnight stays, enabling me to maintain pets' established habits while balancing other commitments effectively. My current rental doesn't allow pets. I will only be available for walks and visits, which I am available to do and I love to visit the dogs.

“Jayne is always excited to see Lady for her walks when I have to travel out of town . It’s great to have someone who’s trustworthy, patient and kind caring for your dog when they can’t travel with you . I always have peace of mind knowing Jayne is in goods. Thank you for always going above and beyond for my sweet girl !”

“Thank you for walking Otis”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 3 + years for my friends. I am happy to help take care of your dogs or house sit when you need some extra hands. I work remotely for a private jet company, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care. My job involves varying hours, and I often have downtime between flights, making it easy for me to dedicate time to walking, sitting, and caring for pets. On days when I’m in the office or traveling, I can plan my pet care activities around my work commitments. This means I can offer both midday walks and longer play sessions during the mornings and evenings when I’m available. My flexible schedule enables me to adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need, regardless of my work hours. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I’m committed to providing the best care possible while fitting seamlessly into my daily life. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m excited to create a caring and reliable routine for them! When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, my priority is always their comfort, safety, and happiness. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved and secure while their owners are away. Here’s how I care for pets in each setting: In My Home: I provide a welcoming and pet-friendly environment, with plenty of space for your pet to play, relax, and sleep. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to ensure the pet feels at ease. Additionally, I closely monitor their behavior and well-being, making adjustments to their schedule as needed. In Your Home: When pet-sitting in a client’s home, I ensure I respect their space and follow any specific instructions they provide. I keep the pet’s environment clean, administer any medications if necessary, and make sure they get regular meals, walks, and playtime. I also provide companionship and comfort, especially if the pet is feeling anxious or lonely. I make sure the house is secure and maintain any other tasks requested by the client, such as collecting mail or watering plants. No matter the setting, I always make sure pets are treated with care and kindness, and I keep their owners updated with photos, videos, and messages to provide peace of mind.
