Dog Walking Old Town Area

About: I have a long history of pet ownership and petsitting, and I myself have an 8-year-old mixed-breed dog and 2 3-year-old cats, brother and sister. I frequently care for cats in my neighborhood, and have been a trusted cat-sitter & house-sitter for neighbors and friends for many years. I did my first big housesitting job with a rambunctious golden doodle way back in 2016, and I used to work on Rover frequently as both a dog-walker and house-sitter. I am excited to be back and looking to build a new client base after some extended time off. I now have many years of experience house-sitting, dog-walking, cat-sitting, doing drop-ins, you name it! I grew up with both dogs and cats and I really love these animals. If I am the one you choose to take care of your pets, expect lots of photos and updates! I know how sad I am when I am missing my pets on vacation, and I try to treat each client the way that I would want to be treated.

“Marisa is incredible!! Was very responsive and took great care of Kimchi!!”

“Chelsea was fantastic!!! One of my dogs wont go near any new people and, yet, she ran right up to her!! She sent photos at each walk and was always responsive, immediately. I will most definitely utilize her services again. Wonderful human being!”

“Fabiola is fabulous. On short notice, she accepted my request for weekly walks. She takes wonderful care of my dog. My neighbors say they she them walking, and Fabiola manages my excitable puppy well and has an enjoyable walk. Her communication is prompt.”

About: Since my childhood, I grew up taking care of my own dogs, 5 in total of different breeds and sizes. I took them on walks, fed and bathed them, taught them tricks, and showered them with love. For years, my friends trusted me to take care of their dogs while they were out of town. I have lived with and cared for my roommates’ dog and cat, which I cared for like they were my own. Additionally, I was previously a nanny for a family with two dogs, one being a senior dog, who I also fed, took on walks, cleaned up after, and played with. Overall, I have cared for numerous dogs of different breeds and sizes and love every second of it! I’m currently not working, so I have flexibility! Please message me if you’d like to request a service outside of my listed availability! I currently do not offer service in my home. When providing service in my client’s home, I will be sure to follow any instructions given, maintain consistent communication, and respect their space and property. The safety of my client’s pets and home will be my priority, so I will ensure that the pets are safe and comfortable and the home is secure before I leave.

“SJ is wonderful to work with. The notes they provided after the daily walks meant so much to me while I was away from my fur-baby. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Melody was great walking my dog while I was away on vacation. She treated my pup like her own and kept me updated constantly so I didn't have any reason to worry. Im looking forward to booking her again in the future.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since / was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets... I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm... Small apartment but plenty of walkable parks nearby. Friendly fur companions to keep your baby company! Lots of treats and a loving home away from home

“My dog is a happy girl when I come home from work, after she gets her midday walks with Courtney! Consistent and timely communication, sent pictures, all is great!”

About: I have experience pet-sitting big, small, young, and senior dogs and cats. I also have work experience at the vet. I’ll treat your fur babies as my own and make sure they have a happy and safe experience! I work three 12-hours nights shifts a week as a nurse so majority of my days are available for check-ins, walks, home visits, or cuddles In my own home, I make sure the space is clean and safe for my pup before I leave. On walks with reactive dogs, I make sure to walk them in a non-stimulating area and provide encourage for good behavior. I can handle the smallest to largest of dogs, with all kinds of personalities.

About: I was raised with 2 dogs—1 small, 1 quite large, and was lucky enough to be able to care for them when they transitioned into old age. I'm comfortable with dogs (and cats) of any size of any age as long as they're house trained! While my ol' boy and girl are no longer with us, I've been raising my tabby cat Pepper since he was a kitten, and I've come to learn that I'm as much a dog-person as I am a cat-person! Since I work hybrid (in the office 3-4 times a week, 1 day at home, full time), pet care is done in the off hours and weekends. How do I care for pets? By being as affectionate as I can while still upholding boundaries when necessary, and encouraging guests and other household members to interact positively with them! Animals are perceptive and so I always try to be aware of that.

“Ana is reliable and responsive! She was quick to schedule a meet and greet, and she was able to walk Oakley on short notice after my walker canceled on me. I would definitely have her walk Oakley again!”

Kayla S.

“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!”

Uni

“Ivan is so sweet and patient with my little hyper puppy. He always takes the cutest pictures, and I am so relieved that she gets some extra time and attention from him every walk. I will continue to use Ivan as a walker for as long as he is willing!”

About: Friends and family know I will always jump at an opportunity to help out and spend time with a pet, and I've spent a lot of time taking care of both my own and other's dogs and cats. I grew up training and running with my family dog, and now I have my own little kitten who is my best friend! I am a master's student at Johns Hopkins with a pretty flexible schedule. My classes are primarily mid-day T-F, and I am available most other times for walks, feeding, or just a check in! Your pet your rules - I always like to make sure their environment is safe and free of hazards and accident prone things, but any additional things you might need I am happy to accommodate. I will always double check that their space is safe when I leave your home!

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, Wednesday and Friday and 8a-8p Thursday! The day time hours are subject to change based on the gig but I'm currently off weekends and don't mind working you and your furry friend into my schedule! Overnights are fine though Id have to leave early on 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.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for hundreds of pets, I bring a level of dedication and knowledge that truly sets me apart. From energetic puppies needing structure and training to senior dogs requiring extra patience, meds, and mobility support—I’ve done it all. I cared for my own beloved pup for 17 wonderful years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands. Whether it’s administering medication, reinforcing good behavior, or just offering lots of love and attention, your dog’s well-being is always my top priority. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and my flexible schedule means I’m available when you need me—whether that’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays. I prioritize each pet’s unique needs and can easily adjust my day to fit their routine. Whether your dog thrives on a strict schedule or just needs some extra attention and playtime, I’m here to provide consistent, loving care whenever it’s needed. I welcome your pet into my home as part of the family—because they deserve nothing less! I’m located between two beautiful parks, perfect for daily walks and playtime. My schedule is flexible, and I always tailor care to match your pet’s usual routine, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past eight years. I am comfortable house sitting along with dog sitting and dog walking. I am a very active person so I am happy to walk your dog as many times as needed to make them happy! I am currently working as a server and at Breakthrough T1D in DC, but I am hybrid some days and willing to help out weekdays and weekends. I would work around your schedule Though it says “Away”, reach out to me! I work at Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) and am also a server. My schedule is hybrid and I am flexible so I’m happy to discuss and work with you! I like to be with the dogs and cats as much as I can, but have the opportunity to occasionally go back to my own house to take a shower and grab some food.

“Ty was great with my pup Bodhi. He has a really chill vibe and I think the animals really pick up on that and enjoy their time with him. Thank you Ty for taking such great care of my baby!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and they soon become part of the family, that is my number one priority when pet-sitting! I’m a recent Baltimore/Fells Point transplant and I now have the ability and space to pet-sit comfortably. I work mostly from home so I am capable of watching over your loved pets for longer periods of time as well. The majority of the week I work remotely from home and therefore am able to focus on daily and weekday pet care routines. I am also a dog owner to a 6 year old Golden Retriever and I make sure he receives proper walks and breaks in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings and would commit to that level of care an more for your loved pets. I currently live in a rowhome with a decently sized and fenced back yard for your pet to run and play in, bonus points if your pet enjoys the company of my own golden retriever and loves to play fetch! I have ample living space and multiple dog beds for relaxation as well as a designated room in case a pet needs to be crated or boarded in.
