Dog Walkers in Point of Rocks, MD

About: My pup is an older King Charles clavier mix and the sweetest thing ever. She just had her 12th birthday and I have had her since she was 2! I also have experience with big dogs! My boyfriend has a German shepherd and a Rottweiler who I spend lots of time around. One of my roommates at school also has a cat who lives with us! I have experience watching both dogs and cats and just have a deep love for the both!! I am currently working part-time doing an internship for my school, which has given me lots of free time. I love spending time with my pup either just relaxing, going for walks, or playing. My pup is very well trained which makes it very easy for me to take her out as she doesn’t require a leash. However, I have experience with dogs who have a tendency to run if they get the chance 😂 So I am familiar with adjusting to different dogs needs!

“Jessica has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She is loving, attentive, and truly treats them like her own. I always feel comfortable knowing they are in such caring hands. She communicates very well, keeps me updated, and is incredibly flexible whenever I have schedule changes. My dogs adore her, and I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Olivia! She is incredibly caring and truly prioritizes the well-being of my dogs, treating them like her own. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in such loving and capable hands. Her communication is excellent—she keeps me updated and is always responsive, which I really appreciate. She’s also consistently punctual and dependable, making everything so easy and stress-free. On top of all that, she is just such a sweet and kind person. My dogs absolutely adore her, and so do I! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets.”

“Lauren is great with Maizy! She shows up every scheduled day to walk her and took great care of her while I was at work. Maizy has grown comfortable around her and I wouldn’t be surprised if Maizy is consistently waiting by the door daily for her walk.”

About: We’re a dog-loving family with a dog of our own, and caring for animals is part of our everyday life. We treat every dog like one of ours, with attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. Your dog won’t just be supervised, they’ll be cared for and welcomed as part of our pack! We have a large, fully fenced, flat backyard ~ the perfect adventure space for your furbabies! With one of us working from home and the other a teacher, our home runs in a relaxed and organized way. Dogs get regular walks, outdoor time, play, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. We keep things predictable enough for dogs to feel comfortable, and flexible enough to meet their individual needs. We value your dog’s safety and comfort. Our home features a spacious fenced yard for fun play and exercise. We’re attentive to each dog’s needs, energy level, and boundaries, and we take time to ensure everyone feels comfortable. When caring for pets in their own homes, we respect their routine and space, keeping things familiar and stress-free.

“So happy we have Samantha walking our Siberian Husky several days a week. She is so pleasant, poised, punctual and professional. Merida is very much enjoying Samantha's company!”

“Adrienne is thoughtful and caring and very very good at communicating. This is my 3rd time leaving my dog (a somewhat demanding pug) in her care. It will certainly not be our last.”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 13! I have had multiple dogs (all rescue) in my home that I have fed, bathed, walked, and administered medication. I have been working in dog shelters since 2021, so I am comfortable with all dogs from all backgrounds! I have a pitbull terrier mix, a semi-feral outdoor cat, fish, and two crested geckos! Pet care is something I do every single day, including: feeding, bathing, walking, medication administration, and habitat cleaning! I always meet an animal where they are. I don't want to impose on their personal space or do something to make them scared. I don't expect every animal to be super warm and cuddly, everyone has different needs! I can cater as fancy or as downplayed a routine as you need to make your fur-babies (or non-furry) feel safe!

About: i’ve been taking care of my neighbors pets when they go on vacation since I was 12 years old, so I am no stranger to all types of dogs and all types of maintenance levels! I have one dog of my own who is just under two years and I’ve been fully involved in her training and have lots of experience with puppies! I currently work part-time and have so much free time so pet care fits perfectly in my weekly schedule and I’m extremely flexible! All three of my cats practically own my house, so I am no stranger to high maintenance animals! Feel free to give me the longest list of instructions with no fear!

About: I currently work as a caretaker at a dog daycare center, where I care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and play styles every day. Whether your dog is super energetic, anxious, older, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m more than comfortable adapting to their needs. I’ve also worked as a farmhand, helping feed and care for animals like chickens and other livestock. I’ve also been around animals my whole life and currently care for a cat, an elderly black lab, and a young hound puppy. I’m a college student hoping to earn extra cash doing something I genuinely love! I treat every animal like one of my best friends and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Weekdays: Available after 1:30 PM for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. Weekends: Usually fully available for walks, house sitting, overnight stays, and extended care. I’m a Dog Daycare worker during the weekdays, so my services may be limited to the afternoon + evenings from Monday-Friday. With dogs, I’m very patient and comfortable with all personalities, including high-energy, excitable, or anxious dogs. I focus on calm and respectful handling and try to help very anxious dogs feel safe by giving them space, approaching slowly, and using gentle reassurance like calm voice and light petting on their side when appropriate. I pay attention to body language and always aim to build trust rather than pressure them into an interaction. If a dog is acting out, I redirect their attention and follow any training or behavior instructions provided by the owner. With cats, I’m used to reading their behavior and giving them the space or attention they want. I understand that many cats are super independent and are protective about their space, but I also enjoy working with affectionate, social cats. I have experience caring for kittens, including feeding and basic hands-on care, as well as senior cats who may need routine medication or any extra attention.

About: Hi! My name is Laura and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech. I have had a life-long passion for taking care of animals and hope to care for yours. Throughout my life I have cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, horses, cows, pigs, chickens, and much more! I love all animals, big and small, and am able to watch over your household pets and/or any farm pets. I have had dogs my entire life, currently a proud pup owner of my hyper, loving golden retriever, and I know all the ins and outs of canine care. I provide play-time, grooming, walks/dog park visits, food/water cleaning and replenishment, medical aid, and so much more for your pup(s). I have training experience with puppies, and can handle all temperaments. Elderly dogs hold a special place in my heart so I will ensure their safety and comfortability. No matter the age or size, I would love to care for your four-legged family member! I have a flexible schedule so I will ensure dates/times meet your needs. I provide house visits and walks any day of the week. I also have my own vehicle so reliable transportation is not an issue. I will keep your pet(s) safe at your home and/or outside by keeping them on a leash, crating if necessary or requested, keeping your doors locked at all times, and taking precautions to make sure your pet doesn’t get into anything they are not allowed to have.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have three Portuguese Water Dogs. I train and handle them in multiple dog sports such as agility and dock diving. I am semi retired after selling my business a year ago. Not one to sit still for too long, I think pet caregiving is a great avenue to channel my energy. My schedule is very flexible so I can work this in. I am very safety conscious. At my home we have a fully fenced yard. When out walking, I am always aware of surroundings and what might trigger a pet. I aim to be proactive and in control at all times

“Dominique is absolutely amazing with my dog Scarlet. From our initial meet and greet and all of her time and questions about my dog's specific needs, I knew she was a really caring and experienced dog handler. She knows my dog (unfortunately) loves to eat things off the ground and has to be watched liked a toddler, so she's incredibly attentive (and patient) with Scarlet. Would give Dominique 10 stars if I could and grateful to have her walking Scarlet on a weekly basis!”

About: I have been a professional pet sitter for 7 years, and a pet owner for 25. From puppies to geriatric, I can do it all. I keep my radius to within 15 minutes for drop in services due to high gas prices. If you need overnight care at your home, not a problem. Myself and my oldest son both work together to make sure an in home stay is a great experience for your pets. I am almost always home, so dropping by your house 3-4 times a day is completely doable. Most drop in visits are 4 times daily. I treat your pets like they were my own! Lots of attention, play time, treats and TLC. Pictures always taken and sent via cell phone.

About: Hello, I'm Erin, a wife, mom, and proud pet owner in Point of Rocks, MD! I grew up with a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits. I currently have two rescue cats, Baby and George, and two birds, who are the joys of our family. I grew up petsitting for neighbors, and I have done a lot of volunteer work with the Humane Society. I also worked at Petsmart in college helping take care of pets for the groomers. One of the best jobs I've ever had! I love animals and will provide that love and care to your pets. No more worrying about your pets while you work or go on vacation! I'm semi-retired from my old job and I am currently available most days and times! I am very flexible and will let you know well in advance when I'll be unavailable. I will play with, feed, walk, and provide companionship for your pet in your home!
