Dog Walking Parole

About: I bring over 15 years of hands-on experience with animals to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. Having trained numerous puppies over the years, I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and tailored approaches. My commitment to an active lifestyle means your furry friend will enjoy not just routine walks but engaging activities. I take pride in providing customized services to meet the unique needs of each pet, whether it's energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and my extensive experience sets me apart as a dedicated and knowledgeable caregiver. I currently work remotely for a mobile dog grooming company during the weeks and have freedom to travel to my clients homes during this time to ensure all time possible is spent with my furry friends for maximum cuddles and company! I have 3 dogs who love to have new mates to play with in our fenced in back yard! They will also be great for keeping your dog company during the days where they miss their family. We love the dog park so if approved of, we would love to take a few trips to play! I can easily crate your dog if needed or requested as long as a crate is provided. They are welcome in any part of our home and of course, on the couch and beds for some snuggles!

“Lida took wonderful care of Barkley and Charley while we were in Arizona! She handled their feeding, walks, and medications with so much patience—even when both dogs refused to go out in the rain. Barkley initially made taking his medicine and getting his cone back on a challenge, but she patiently worked through it to keep him from licking his paw. Charley is only 12 pounds but has a big bark and strong opinions about every dog and squirrel he sees! We’re so grateful for her kindness and willingness to handle their little quirks. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in her care. We would happily recommend Lida and will book her each time we go away!. The Fisher Family”

About: I have had two small family dogs, both of which have been spoiled rotten. I have experience with senior dogs since our Gizmo lived to be 17 1/2. I have dog sat for friends and neighbors before and love snuggling with pups. I have patience for slow walkers and the energy for the fast ones. I have volunteered twice with BARCS for Dogs Day out, where I spent the day with a shelter dog, giving them the best day ever! I am a teacher, so my availability in the summer is pretty open. During the school year, I am available most afternoons and evenings for walks. I am typically available each week day after 3:30 during the school year. I love taking dogs on walks. I have experience with fast walkers and those who pull. I also have patience with slow walkers or senior dogs too. I can easily crate dogs if necessary.

“Kacie was so sweet to my pup! She sent a lot of updates on how my dog was doing and gave her so much attention. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help out with my baby”

About: My home is a calm, attentive environment where your dog gets genuine one-on-one care — not a revolving door of pets. I come from a lifelong background with animals, hold a full-time professional position, and take on pet sitting purely for the love of it. Your dog will never feel like a side hustle. Currently, I am available on weekends and every other Monday. Friday can be a drop off day for boarding. It has to be after 6pm Friday. My availability looks like this. FRIDAY STARTING @ 6PM SATURADY ALL SUNDAY ALL MONDAY ALL UNTIL 6PM My Home: Currently, I live in Eastport area about equal distance from Quiet Waters Park and Downtown. I have amazing dog park and walking available. I have a fenced in yard all the way around. My Mom's dog only weighs ten pounds and he has escaped through my gate. We have to talk about that depending on the size of your dog. I am working on a fix for my Mom's dog because he loves to find escape roots to chase squirrels! 😎 My furniture and my home are 1000 percent pet friendly. I allow all my dog guests up so you have to let me know if that is an issue. I currently have dog bowls for food and water ready to go for my dog guests and ofcourse wash in between. I also have two dog beds that I wash in between visits. I also have a few dog toys I let everyone play with so just let me know if there are any issues or special requests with that. I have an extra leash available and always keep doggy poopie bags available. I do have dry dog food and treats on hand but it is always best if your dog sticks to their diet and I need you to provide that. Wellness Complete Health Adult Wholesome Grains Natural Chicken & Oatmeal Dry Dog Food, 5-lb bag, And Stella & Chewy's Chicken Hearts Freeze-Dried Raw Dog Treats, 11.5-oz bag is what I keep on hand. Those are my best dog friend"s favorites so I keep them always. I guess what I am saying is, you can literally just drop off and I am all set if needed! Your Home: For drop in I just need all the details from you surrounding that. I am okay boarding cats too but I just need to build up my cat pantry and I think disposalable litter pans are the way to go for a short weekend. Although if your cat has litter specific requirements you just need to let me know. Also, if I am cat sitting at my home, they would not be allowed outside, no run aways on my watch!!! I feel like cats are a drop in situation because they are always more comfortable in their space. But I am open to boarding them too! Owners know their pets best and what will work for them. Just let me know. Always, just ask about any pet situation. I am open to all pets and being a Navy veteran makes me very trainable! 🐾⚓️

“Heather was fantastic, responsible, punctual, and clearly great with dogs. Chance warmed up to her right away, and I appreciated the updates and photos. I will definitely book her again.”

About: I have been walking and sitting dogs for over 20 years, starting at age 11 when I realized dogs just made sense to me. I have owned hounds my whole life and currently share my home with a spirited beagle/jack russell mix named Tate who keeps me well-practiced with high-energy breeds. I recently lost our beloved 11-year-old foxhound mix Juniper, a gentle 70-pound soul who reminded me daily why this work matters. I am a firm believer in Cesar Millan's calm, assertive approach to dog handling. Dogs respond to confident, consistent leadership, and I bring that to every walk and every stay. I am comfortable with all breeds, large and small, and experienced administering medications and hands-on therapy when needed. I work from home in central Annapolis, which means flexible scheduling and plenty of attention for your dog during the day. Your pup is a member of your family and I always treat them like a member of my own. I own a design firm that I run out of my home. My work varies as a creative from video work to graphic design and more but it all comes from my home office located right next to my dog's food and water bowls (my hound dog Tate is currently asleep at my feet- exactly where he loves to be, and right where I love to have him). My workdays typically start around 7am and I work through the early afternoon, occasionally in the evenings. Though I have a full office setup, I also have a laptop that travels with me during house/dog sitting sessions if I need to be away for an extended period of time. As my work is on the creative spectrum, I can always adapt my schedule to fit around yours (and your pup's). Whether it's daily walks or stays with your dog, you can rest assured that they will be looked after with love, care, and the attention they deserve. I live in an apartment in Annapolis so we don't have a fenced in yard. Instead, I take my boy out in the neighborhood on short and extended walks and in the community dog park. Sniff spots and local trails are always on our schedule as our dog is high-energy so he thrives on long walks with lots of smells. Depending on your dog's needs and routine, I'm happy to take them on long walks in and around your neighborhood and parks they're comfortable with, or just playing with them in your own backyard. I'm also open to taking them further out to nature hikes and trails as long as you're comfortable with that. I tend to have Blue Buffalo, Newman's Own, and Charlee Bear treats at the ready (but of course that's up to your discretion) for good dogs and I always adhere to any diet or medication requirements to ensure a happy and healthy experience. I treat your dog like I treat my own and I've always had a great experience with every breed and personality.

About: As a dedicated dog walker and in-home pet sitter with over two years of experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I care for every dog (and cat!) as if they were my own — with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs and routines. What You Can Expect: ✅ Safe, fun, and tailored walks ✅ Home visits that follow your pet’s schedule ✅ Clean water, food, meds (if needed), and lots of affection ✅ Daily photo updates and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going ✅ Respect for your home and your pet’s space I’m trained in basic pet first aid and always check collars, leashes, and gates before heading out. Whether it’s a quiet walk or an energy-burning play session, your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priority. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help make your time away stress-free for both of you. 🐶🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because of how flexible and rewarding it is. Since I set my own schedule, I can book pet care clients around my part-time job shifts and study blocks, which helps me stay balanced and productive. Walking dogs gives me a much-needed mental reset from screen time and studying, and it keeps me active throughout the day. It’s also a great way to supplement my income without taking on another traditional job. Most of all, spending time with animals brings me a lot of joy and motivation — it breaks up long study days and reminds me why I love what I do Whether you’re at work or away for a few days, I provide reliable, in-home care that keeps your pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment. From daily walks to feeding, playtime, and medication routines, I tailor every visit to your pet’s unique needs. 🔐 Safety & Professionalism Equipped for pet first aid always carrying a kit Detailed home-entry and security protocols Leash and harness checks before every walk Weather-conscious and always alert to potential hazards Respectful of your home, your pets, and your time 📸 Peace of Mind After each visit, you’ll receive a photo and short update so you know how your furry friend is doing — because trust is built on communication

“Syler did a great job pet sitting my two large dogs and 3 cats. She accommodated a super last-minute schedule for the meet and greet and it was clear that my dogs immediately felt comfortable around her. She left thorough updates, arrived promptly when scheduled and was very communicative. I highly recommend her for pet sitting!!”

About: I truly adore cats and their unique personalities. I'm a retired empty nester, who is flexible, attentive, patient, affectionate, and I believe great cat care includes a fresh, spotless litter box every day. Your cat will get plenty of love, attention, and a comfortable environment giving you a peace of mind while you're away. Being retired gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pets, providing attentive, dependable care without rushing or juggling another job. Whether in my home or yours, I follow each pet's normal routine, providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh water, clean spaces, play time and personalized care.

About: Hi everyone this is an update as of July 2026. I am a retired American Airlines Flight Attendant. I like to travel, do volunteer work, workout, meet my good women friends for coffee, lunch, etc, and spend time with my partner (a retired pilot). We occasionally sit together and he enjoys all my lovable pets as much as I do. I am about as risk free and responsible as they come! Hopefully, I can help out those who need pet/ house sitting. Also available if you just need someone to come for a few hours. These services are for dogs under 20 lbs and cats. If you have larger dogs that do not require walking, I can let them in and out (if you have a fenced in backyard) play with them, exercise, feed, water, meds, etc. Otherwise, if they need walking I need to stick to the under 20lbs. I can sit and housesit/ visit cats also, my only request is that there is a room for me to sleep in that the cats do not use. Yes, I am slightly allergic and I do wear my mask when brushing them. I have unfortunately, put my Bichon/ Maltese of 16 years down about 4 years ago. So I do not own a dog or cat at present. She had a collapsed trachea and some heart issues and was starting to have high risk seizures at 16. Hence, I am familiar with elder dogs and giving them medications. Before Maddie I had a female golden who lived to be 15 and 1/2. I have also owned two cats over my lifetime. Thank you for your interest and let me know if I can help you out. Also feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I am retired with a couple of hourly volunteer positions and I travel on occasion. Consequently, I have plenty of time to give your dog(s) or cat(s) special attention! Unfortunately, I cannot have the Fur babies over to my house because of my landlord's restrictions, but more than willing to come by to let your dog out for exercise, walk, feed, water, snuggle, and give medications. I can also spend the night while you're on vacation, check your mail, and water plants.

About: I have always grown up surrounded by dogs of all breeds and cats as well! Personally, my family always had golden retrievers (okay, I have a soft spot). Over the years, I have always watched neighbors or family pets, including my own. I’ve helped manage any illnesses that may have come along with any dog or cat needing medications or special therapy! I have a LOT of experience with puppies and the training/ time that goes into that development as well. I also am active, so spending time and keeping the dogs and cats I watched busy and playful is super important to me. Overall, treating the pets around me like family has always been second nature to me and I hope to bring that quality to you! I will be starting a new sales role 9-5 in downtown Annapolis! With that said, my availability April 1st will move to mornings and evenings - drop ins/ walks. The remainder of March is free for all times of day! I live in an apartment that is not quite the right size for a dog of my own - however, I am excited to be taking up this opportunity through Rover as a way to still hang out with animals whether it be check ins or walking through town. Building trust is huge for me and so I hope that with future clients that is something that can be earned! I am reliable and respectful and most importantly eager to work with you 🙂

About: I have been around animals my entire life! Growing up my family had dogs, chickens, cats. Currently we have 2 beagles and a black cat named Izzy! My other family members began asking me to watch their animals when they went away on trips or to stop by the house if they were stuck at work. This branched to them recommending me to their friends and now here we are! I have been watching the furry loved ones of others for about 4-5 years now and have loved every second of it. I know how scary it can be to leave behind the animals that you consider your children so I am here to make that process a little easier! I’ve taken care of puppies, dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, and horses. All animals deserved to be spoiled and loved by all 💛 I am currently a therapist that works mostly afternoon/evening hours. My daytime availability ranges day to day but getting to create my own schedule allows for flexibility! Owners know their pets best! Any information provided to me about your furry friend will be implemented so that all parties feel safe and well cared for!

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I share my home with a calico and a tabby, and I’ve spent years living with a lab. I care for my sister’s tabby mix when she goes out of town. I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, and even worked as a dog groomer and at a dog kennel, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. On top of that, I actively volunteer at the SPCA in Annapolis, which keeps me connected with animals who need extra love and attention. I treat every pet like family, not just a job, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away Pet care is part of my everyday life. Between caring for my own two cats, helping with my parents’ lab, and volunteering at the SPCA in Annapolis, I’m used to fitting in feedings, walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout my day. Making sure animals feel loved and looked after is something I do daily, not just occasionally I care for your pets just like I do my own with love, patience, and attention to detail. In your home, I’ll follow your routines so your pets feel comfortable and secure, making sure they have fresh food, water, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. If they’re with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family, with a safe and cozy environment where they can relax and enjoy themselves. My goal is always to make your pets feel happy and cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Did a great job communicating and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands!”

About: I have grown up with dogs in my family almost my entire life. I also dog sat growing up and still do to this day for family and friends. This included puppies under the age of 1 (frequent potty breaks and crate training), as well as senior dogs who required special care and assistance. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and would love to keep your fur babies company while you’re out of town! I am fortunate enough to have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to make your pets the number one priority while in my care. I have flexible work hours that allows me to spend time in the morning, afternoons and evenings with your animals. I can leave my office during the day with no problems. I am able to work from home when need be. This flexibility allows me to regularly check in on them, support their feeding routine and promptly address any health issues if they arise. When caring for pets in your home, I treat them as if they were my own. I prioritize their comfort and well-being by following their usual routines, providing plenty of playtime, and ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I maintain a clean and safe environment, taking extra care with feeding, grooming, and any special needs they may have, such as administering medications. My goal is to keep your pets happy and stress-free until you return.

About: I have been dog sitting for three years. I am also working in a dog kennel, so I have experience feeding, playing, and cleaning up after dogs. I have experience with medication and making sure a dog has their medication everyday. I can not wait to meet you and your fury- babies. I am currently working full-time at a kennel and daycare facility. I have a passion for working with dogs and I am looking for a way to incorporate that into my weekends. I have a roll of poop bags on me and an extra slip leash for walks. I also keep different varieties of treats in case of allergies.
