Dog Walkers in Norbeck, MD

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I bring that same love and dedication to every pet I care for. I have two dogs of my own—one senior and one younger—so I understand the different needs pets have at various life stages. Whether it’s providing extra care and comfort for senior pets or keeping energetic pups engaged, I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality and needs. I even got married on a petting farm to incorporate animals into one of the most special days of my life! That love and appreciation for animals extend into my pet-sitting, where I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with basic training, senior pet care, and understanding animal behavior, ensuring a safe and happy experience for both pets and their owners. With me, your pets will not only be well cared for, but they’ll also receive plenty of love, attention, and enrichment while you’re away! Since animals are such an important part of my life, pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. As a pet parent myself to two wonderful dogs (one senior and one younger), I understand the importance of structure, love, and attention in their daily lives. Every day, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection—whether it’s morning walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle sessions. I’m also experienced in managing different feeding schedules, administering medication if needed, and providing specialized care for pets with unique needs. When pet-sitting, I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for my own dogs or looking after someone else’s beloved pet, I treat them like family, making pet care a consistent and fulfilling part of my week. When caring for pets in their own home, I strive to make them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I follow their usual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any necessary medication. I also provide companionship to ease any separation anxiety, ensuring they feel loved and secure. While in a client’s home, I respect their space and can also assist with small tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants to help maintain their home while they’re away. Regardless of where I care for pets, my goal is always to provide reliable, loving, and attentive care, treating every pet like they’re my own.

About: I’ve always been an avid animal lover my entire life. I have extensive experience working with animals including my own pets, dog sitting, and through my position as an animal care technician at a dog and cat boarding facility. These opportunities have allowed me to gain expertise with animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages! Whether you have a tiny senior or a big pup, I am happy to provide your furry friends with the care and enrichment they need! My schedule is very flexible for drop ins and dog walking and I am generally available everyday of the week. I am extremely trustworthy and have been recommended by those I’ve worked with. My hard work and diligent care for our animals was recognized with employee of the month at my previous position. I guarantee your pets are in safe hands with me! I am currently home from college, so I am available most hours of the day and week to make drop ins and take your pups for some long walks! I will be available until August 20 when I return to school! With my previous experience, I can ensure that your pets will get the care they need, whether that includes medications at meal time, extra playtimes for energetic pups, or simply some well deserved cuddles!

About: I’m not booking males over 25 pounds ( my dog doesn’t get along with them). I grew up surrounded by dogs. I’ve learned to take care and love them since I was a child. As a teenage and young adult I took care of friends and family pets when they were traveling. I also love taking pictures of pets, since I’m passionate about dogs and also about photography. I’ve just moved to United States because of my husband job, currently working at the Brazilian embassy. My time is divided by taking care of my 2 year old boy , that also loves dogs, and also cleaning and organizing the house. Now that I just got my work permit I would love to start working with something that I love. I’ll take care of your dog respecting all your directions. I’ll take a bunch of pictures of your puppy, take them to a walk, play with them and, of course, spoil them ( If authorized). In my house they are allowed in the bed, at the couch and wherever I go.

About: I own three reactive pups, so I’m quick to act, I avoid stress, and keep dogs calm. Walks stay are always safe, fun, and worry free! I get out of high school at 11 AM, so on Monday through Friday I’m available for morning (6:00 am ONLY) and midday walks. Saturday I can only do morning walks. Sundays I’m not available. I take them out, feed them, play, wait a few hours, then repeat: potty, food, play always keeping them happy and active, I love playtime.

About: My family has had large and medium size dogs for over 15 years. I have 10 years of experience, pet sitting for neighbors. I enjoy both playful and quiet dogs. I am a retired teacher and I’m available with advanced notice seven days a week. I am available for quick visits as well as overnight stays at your house.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, I’ve raised German Shepherds and currently own one. I also have cats and I am aware of their maintenance schedules and feeding schedules. I have knowledge of medication distribution if they need it. I worked during the week (M-F), in the week I wake up early to walk my dog and after the walk feed both my dog and the cats. Weekends I walk with my dog to interact and introduce him to new and current dogs at the dog park. Once summer starts, I am very flexible in daily walks with my dog and other dogs if they are okay to walk with another dog. I clean and maintain the order of the house. I follow any instructions that the clients will provide to me, when I’m in my own home I play and wear out the dog for better relaxation and better sleep schedule. If a pet needs to be wiped down or cleaned up, I’m willing to do it.

I keep their space clean and safe, administer any needed medication, and respect your home’s rules. Plus, I send daily photo updates so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young and currently have my own dog and cat. I crate trained my pup from 6 weeks old, taught her tricks, and introduced her to a cat at 8 months. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, bathing, and providing love to pets of all ages. I'm currently freelancing from home, so I'm home all day and have a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to play, walk, and teach beginner tricks! I have a fenced yard and a nearby dog park for playtime. My dog is friendly, and I have both small and large crates if needed.

About: I am a nature and animal lover living in northern Maryland. I often spend time in Arlington, VA and I am available for walks in that area, in addition to the services I provide in Maryland. I am trusted, fun, clean and responsible and will give your pet lots of love and affection. I can offer a flexible schedule and will send you daily pictures/videos of your pet(s) so that you know your furrbaby is being taken care of and loved while you are away. If there is anything else you require for your peace of mind, just let me know and we can work it out. • Bilingual: Originally from Puerto Rico, now living in MD, I speak English & Spanish. • Available to take care of 🐶 dogs and 🐱cats. • I come from a family that loves animals and have been rescuing street cats and finding them loving homes for the past 8 years. *Your pets will be in safe hands* I am currently working full-time (M-F), with half of the time working from my home. As such, this allows me some flexibility in my schedule. As I live in an apartment complex, I am only 'boarding' cats and small dogs at the moment. My apartment also has an attached dog park, and there are various parks in my neighborhood. I also have an area for their water/food, toys, and litter box for the cats. While I have a balcony, I make sure it is locked while boarding your loved one. Their safety is my #1 priority! As an option: I also live 5 minutes from a Bark Social, and can take your furrbaby there if they already have a membership with the company. For your piece of mind, I live 7 minutes away from an emergency pet hospital. While I will be sure to keep your loved one safe and happy, emergencies can happen and I want you to know that I am prepared in case they do.

“Christin took my dog on a walk three times this past week due to scheduling conflicts with my usual walker. She responded quickly, was flexible, and was patient and understanding with my sometimes-difficult dog! I’ll definitely book again!”

I love going to walks and giving animals as much attention as needed.

About: Many pet owners look for a caring caregiver who can create a loving environment and make sure their furry friends feel safe and loved while they are away, rather than just a sitter. My background in pet care involves a blend of loyalty and real affection for animals, setting me apart from other sitters and helping me to offer a comprehensive approach to pet sitting. The flexibility that comes with working remotely is one of its biggest advantages. As a pet owner and pet sitter, my remote work position allows me to adjust my schedule to fit my personal life and on weekends I'm available Saturdays. Giving pets the proper care and attention is crucial, whether I am doing it at my own house or my client's. In addition to asking about any food allergies or sensitivities, I interact with clients to learn about their pets' dietary needs and preferences. I engage pets in pets exercise by involving them in things they like, like playing fetch, taking a little stroll around the neighborhood, or just spending time outside. Additionally, I'll continue to be watchful of the pet's safety, making sure they are in secure areas or on leashes when we go out.
