About: I’ve been around all animals since I was a young child. I will treat your babies like they are my own. I have alot of experience with puppies and senior dogs. Fur babies are always prioritized. I am available to take the dogs out 2-3 times a day as needed. Most of the time if I’m in the house the dogs with be relaxing and cuddling with me or playing with each other. If I leave or go to work the dogs are crated. I have several parks nearby so that your baby can get out, stretch, and get fresh air. I can crate your baby as well. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby.

I currently live in a house in Highlandtown very close to Patterson Park. I also live with an extremely friendly Siberian Husky, so they would need to meet beforehand.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
PHENOMENAL! My Winslow is cautious of strangers. He did his little bark while gravitating towards her, tail wagging like they were best friends. Xuan Is friendly, courteous, and prompt. This was my first time using Rover for dog walking and now Winslow has a new forever friend. I will only use Xuan moving forward.
Ahñia walked our dog for almost a year while living in Baltimore, and she truly, genuinely cared for him like he was her own! Could not have asked for a better companion for our dog while my wife and I were at work. Responsive, responsible, and provides the best updates/photos!
We had a wonderful experience! Erica took such great care of Morty and Nao Nao, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was caring, reliable, and communicative throughout. We really appreciate her help and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️
Chris took my pup out for walks for probably almost a year while I lived in Canton. He was on time every time and always communicated with me if he couldn’t make a certain day. He would leave detailed reports and always took great pics of my boy. He walks a golden named Albert as well and often walked the 2 of them together which I know my pup loved. Highly recommend Chris!
Highly recommend! I needed a dog walker the same day, and William was very accommodating and easy to work with. He was friendly, communicative, and treated my 125lb German Shepherd with great care. It’s not always easy to find someone reliable on short notice who can handle a big dog. I’ve already booked again!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
