Dog Walking Midway-Coldstream

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I grew up with a large dog who was deeply loved and considered part of the family. Caring for him taught me how to recognize an animal’s needs, understand body language, and approach pets with patience, respect, and compassion through all stages of their lives. Since then, I have cared for dogs and cats belonging to friends and family through regular check-ins, weekend visits, week-long house-sitting stays, and week-long dog-sitting stays in my own home. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and may need time to feel comfortable with someone new or in a new environment. I am patient during that adjustment period and always do my best to maintain their normal routine and help them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I hold a bachelor’s degree in biology with a focus in ecology and marine biology. I also recently completed an internship with Zoo Miami in animal care, training, and husbandry. This experience strengthened my ability to observe animal behavior, respond appropriately to their needs, and communicate with animals using clear, consistent, and positive methods. I am new to the city and currently have full availability including last minute scheduling, and I am excited to build trusted relationships with local pet owners and their animals. Animal welfare is extremely important to me, and I would treat your pets with the same care, attention, and respect I would want for my own. I recently moved to the city and currently have a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day, seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This flexibility allows me to accommodate check-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute requests whenever possible. I care for every pet according to their usual routine, personality, and individual needs. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner, and I take time to help each pet feel safe and comfortable with me. In a client’s home, I am respectful of both the pet’s space and the home itself. I make sure doors, windows, gates, leashes, and carriers are secure, keep food and potentially harmful items out of reach, and leave the home clean and orderly. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment. I supervise pets closely, give them plenty of attention, and help them adjust patiently to the new surroundings. I understand that some animals need more time and space than others, so I always pay attention to their body language and comfort level.

About: Hi there, I’m Nayev! If it has fur, scales, or fins, I’ve probably cared for it and loved it. My background is a mix of professional animal work as a dog boarder, groomer, and daycare employee, rescue volunteer, and multi-species pet owner myself. Thus, absolutely nothing phases me. I’ve dealt with every behavioral issue under the sun, from intense separation anxiety to reactive dogs. More than anything, I just have a ton of love to give. I treat every pet like family and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins while you're away. I know this looks like a lot! But trust me, we can make it work. Mondays & Wednesdays: These are my high-availability days. I am home a ton or entirely all day, making them perfect for extra attention, long walks, and intense socialization. *Wednesday's I will have to step away from 5-8:30pm Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Fridays: I work structured hours, but your pet’s routine stays completely consistent. I provide a dedicated 7:00 AM morning check-in/potty break, a mid-day noon check-in/potty break, and full evening care starting right after 4:00 PM. *Only on Friday's I available right after 4. Tue/Thurs I will be available after 8:30pm with a possible quick check-in/potty-break between 4 and 5pm. Saturdays: Available for early morning care, brief midday work, and completely open for the rest of the day and night anytime after 12:00 PM. Sundays: Available for morning care, then completely open for the rest of the day and night anytime after 2:00 PM. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they have plenty of fresh water, food, exercise, bathroom breaks, and lots of love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I also make sure their space is clean, comfortable, and safe. Every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and what makes them feel happy and comfortable.

“Corinne was great! She met us for a meet and greet before the walk, and she responded quickly to our questions. She was great with Sadie--a large dog who can be very energetic--and she was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to everyone on Rover.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have spent several years caring for both dogs and cats in various settings. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or providing companionship while owners are away, I treat every pet like my own. As having two dogs of my own as they love to go on walks. Being also experienced working with Charm City Groomer and Volunteering at BARCS(Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter) love to walk and pet sit for any dogs or cats. Because I am currently out of college for the semester, I have a completely open and flexible schedule with full time availability right here at my home! Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to build my entire daily routine around your pup. Here is how my flexible schedule benefits your dog: Easy Home Drop Offs & Pick Ups: Since I am home throughout the day, I can easily accommodate whatever drop off or pick up time works best for your schedule. All check ins and check outs take place directly at my home. Dedicated Mornings & Afternoons: Having significant availability means your dog will rarely be left alone. I am fully available for long morning adventures, midday potty breaks, and interactive afternoon playtime. Consistent & Reliable Routine: Because I do not have conflicting daytime classes or a strict commute right now, I can strictly adhere to your dog's regular feeding, walking, and medication schedules without disruption. Your pup will enjoy constant companionship, plenty of attention, and a reliable routine every single day! Safety is my absolute top priority, and I treat every guest pet with the same vigilance and care as my own. Whether we are exploring outdoors or relaxing inside, I maintain a highly secure and supervised environment: Safe & Comfortable Indoors: Constant Supervision: Pups are never left unattended for extended periods, and my indoor space is fully pet-proofed to prevent any mischief. Separation for Meals: Dogs are safely separated during feeding times and when enjoying high value treats to prevent any resource guarding or food anxiety. Cozy Chilling Zones: I provide plenty of safe, dedicated spaces (like comfortable couches and dog beds) where your pup can unwind and relax peacefully. Secure Outdoor Adventures: Strict Leash Policy: When walking outside including our two laps around Lake Montebello dogs are securely double checked on their harnesses and leashes at all times. Controlled Entrances: I am extremely mindful when opening doors or gates to prevent any bolting or escape attempts. No Unsupervised Interactions: I do not allow guest dogs to interact with unfamiliar neighborhood dogs on walks to ensure every outing remains completely safe and stress free. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in a secure, loving home where their well being comes first. I am always happy to provide regular photo and text updates throughout the day so you know exactly how they are doing!

“Andrew has been really great with our two dogs. He is great with them, attentive, and patient. He is also responsive when it comes to messaging about booking or concerns about my dogs.”

About: Hi, please call me Jupiter :) Pets have been in my life since I was six, and in one way or another I've found myself responsible for the care of one since I was ten or so! Whether it be family, friends, or a stray - I adore animals! I pride myself in my approach to pets as I do with children: be firm, but respectful. Understand boundaries and do my best to read the situation with what information I'm given and what I can infer from there. Its always great to immediately bond with a furry friend, but all living beings deserve basic respect and compassion! I've met very few pets I didn't hit it off with, but even my great aunt's black cat, old and cranky as he is, let me feed him and exist nearby without claws (as is his M.O. with anyone who isn't his owner). Long story short, I adore all the fauna earth has to offer and make it my mission to successfully cohabitate at minimum, and a strong bond more often :) I now have a car again! I work 5p to 8p Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 12p-5p Sunday and 8a-8p Wednesday and Thursday! The day time hours are subject to change based on the gig but i'm always off Saturday and don't mind working you and your furry friend into my schedule! Overnights are fine though Id have to leave early on those 12 hour days - coming back after isn't an issue for longer stays! Drop ins are extra welcome at the moment :) While I cannot board, I take care to leave a home as I found it, if not better. I prioritize learning and writing specific safety and miscellaneous expectations for easy access, and default keep doors locked + my shoes off. I also think it's important to not disrupt set routines, so if a furry friend needs to be crated by a certain time, an alarm fifteen or twenty minutes prior is key to be timely and have grace if said pet may not love crate time.

“Caitlin Anne is reliable and consistent!”

“IImani is so thoughtful and when she’s with Bella, I feel completely safe. Today is a fairly hot day and she remembered that Bella has a cooling Best and put that on her. I really appreciate her extra efforts.”

About: I've been pet sitting for years and love every dog like they're my own. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, medications, teeth brushing, and special care routines. I’ve cared for animals of all personalities so I'll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away! I currently work part time with a varying schedule. I’m available for boarding most nights, weekends included! I work at a local doggy daycare and may be able to take your pup home for you! I have a fenced backyard with flowers growing for your pet to smell! They’d have plenty of friends within my 3 cats and my dog & I’m near multiple parks for fun walks. Working in your home, I love the for the pet to have access to as minimal amount of rooms as possible to reduce any hiding behaviors (especially with cats). All medications need to be placed in cabinets out of reach (even your melatonin - trust me, they do crazy things when missing you), and required supplies should be grouped together. Let me know where you want it and I’ll bring your mail on in for you! I hope to make your outing stress free and your return home refreshing :)

“Thanks to Imauri’s flexible schedule, she was able to accommodate our beagle who is just shy of four months and needed to be taken out for walks. Very professional, even checked up on my puppy when I was a little late getting back home just to make sure he was OK. She even tidied up after he came in from his walk which was extremely helpful. My baby loves her and is comfortable with her and that speaks volumes for my shy beagle.”

“Seritta took excellent care of my pup! She is consistent, communicative, and - most importantly - good with Biscuit. Thank you, Seritta!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats, ranging from tame and house trained, to feral and nonsocial. Neither have stopped me from caring for them and loving them like my own. I am a full time student currently on summer break. I will have times I am away but I can think of nothing better than cuddling with your babies when needed. I assure you that I will put your pet’s safety and comfort above all else. I follow care instructions to the T to ensure your baby is safe and well cared for.
