Dog Walkers in Mount Vernon, MD

About: I have always been an animal person, and have been a regular dogsitter and catsitter for friends and family for over 10 years. I love caring for all types of critters, from little balls of energy to to more mellow senior animals, and will try my best not to spoil yours too much (depending on how quickly they steal my heart.) I specialize in enrichment activities, such as walks and play sessions, but will also enjoy just hanging out with your little buddy in any capacity. I'm currently off of school for the summer, so I have lots of available time in the day to care for your animals! I am generally available any day of the week between 8 AM and 10 PM, except for Sunday, when I am not available until 11 AM. (6-8 AM is also a possibility if necessary.) I always make sure to respect my clients' homes and keep their belongings safe from rowdy playing. I will always be sure to read your instructions for entry carefully, and I am good at cleaning up a mess if there is one made.

“Sierra is amazing. She truly connected with our two dogs (both husky mixes), and they couldn't wait for her to arrive so they could on their walks with her. She has a great personality and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a true professional.”

“Kristine did an amazing job with my babies!! She was punctual. Communicated amazingly and was able to follow all my very detailed instructions making. I had a quite a few security measures and she followed vetting perfectly making me feel like my dogs and home were safe while I was way in Cancun for 5 days. The babies loved her. I even got a little jealous watching my Roxy cry on the camera after their time together. I will 1000% recommend Kristine and will be using her in the future for dog sitting/walking needs!”

About: I've had both dogs and cats my entire life, so being around animals is second nature to me. Over the years, I've also helped care for my neighbors' and family friends pets whenever they were out of town. This included; feeding, walking, playing, and just being there to keep them company. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer stay, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I am a student at the University of Michigan, studying sport management. I would love the opportunity to take care of other people's pets over my summer break. I will start my summer break by the end of June and would love to jump right in by helping those around me care for their pets in my free time. I am super flexible, so please feel free to message me! I focus on keeping things safe, comfortable, and stress-free. Every animal is different, so I take the time to understand what makes them feel relaxed and happy. I also keep owners updated with quick check-ins and photos, so they know their pet is doing well and being cared for like family.

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.

“Dominique made our trip to DC so much better. She sent a card summarizing the walk and where they went, how far and the doggy business. We really appreciated Dominique!”

About: I have been taking care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid and love dogs of all kinds. I can meet a dog at any energy level, and especially love going for walks/hikes in nature. I also volunteer for the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter's Dog Day Out program, taking shelter dogs for a day of fun and freedom outside the facility. I am currently a graduate student and have the summer off from my academic work, so my schedule is very flexible in terms of pet care. I am not able to host pets at my home since I live in an apartment, but am happy to take care of animals in any setting and abide respectfully by all requests about a home!

About: My family has loved dogs since I was born. So I’ve been around Japanese Akitas to Pitbulls. I fell in love with dogs so much that I’ll take in any one that I see on the street without a home. Before I got to college I was the main caretaker of my baby Bria. She was a mixed Pitbull who was full of energy and loved to play all day long. I believe that every dog has a beautiful soul so they deserve a human with a beautiful soul as well. I’m currently a full-time college student, and I'm a bartender at Olive Garden. My schedule is pretty flexible and fluid, so I have different times of availability every day. Therefore, times and dates would need to be established on a case-by-case scenario or a set schedule that aligns can be made. With being a college student, depending on how far you live from Morgan State. I can provide your dog great walking and running space on a safe and secured beautiful campus. As it goes for when I come to your lovely home, as long as it was safe for your furry friend before I got there I can assure that it would be just as safe while I’m there.
