Dog Walkers in Port Republic, MD

“Great communication!”

Jake G.

About: I have been a pet sitter for my friends and family for as long as I can remember and I am ready to branch out professionally. I’m a work from home medical engineer and can provide high quality services with a flexible schedule. Since I work from home my schedule is very flexible, especially in the afternoons. I can also do in-home long term pet sitting as I can be anywhere for work. I have a lovely small home in a rural part of town. Perfect for small dogs and cats, with no other pets on the property.

“Was searching for a walker very last minute and I could not have been luckier to have been able to get Jake to care for my dog! I felt so secure and comfortable with him in his care and he was so responsive and kind, and I will surely be looking him up well in advance of my next trip so I have a good chance of being able to have him walk my little guy again! Thank you so very much, Jake!!!”

“Kim did a great job taking care of our (giant) dogs. She asked great questions during the meet/greet to make certain she had all the details, and she let us know how things were going during the walk.”

About: I have been told that I am very patient when it comes to pets. I let them come to me and if they don’t want to I don’t force them. I am very careful to make sure the pets are happy and can get to know and love any pet. My life can fluctuate from busy to free depending on the time of year, but I always make time for my pets. It makes me happy to see them and take care of them on a daily and weekly basis. To care for pets, I make sure that they are ok and give them food and water first. Then I give them all the attention they need and make sure they are happy. I don’t just check in and leave, I like to spend time with them so they aren’t lonely.

About: Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home dog mom with over 3+ years of hands-on professional experience in animal care, 10+ years of personal experience and a heart full of love for every pet I meet. Since my husband takes care of our household financially, I’m incredibly lucky to do this purely out of passion, not necessity. That means your pet isn’t just another booking to me—they become part of my daily life and routine, and I treat them like family. What sets me apart from other sitters? I’m home all day, so your furry friend gets constant love, attention, and care. I don’t overbook, and I always prioritize quality time, play, and personalized care based on your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks, or keeping up with feeding routines and medications, I’m here to give your pet the comfort and consistency they deserve. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. You can count on me to send regular updates, adorable photos, and give your pet a loving home-away-from-home while you're away. Pet care is my routine! I spend most of my day with animals—whether it’s my own pup or the pets I’m caring for. My availability is very, very open so please don't be afraid to reach out! I’m home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and love throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep everything as stress-free and familiar as possible for your furry friend. I stick closely to your routine—meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions you leave. I want your pet to feel safe, secure, and comfortable in their own space while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and care. I keep things clean, tidy, and organized, and I always double-check doors, gates, and food storage to ensure your pet stays safe. Whether it’s watering a few plants, bringing in the mail, or keeping your pet company during the day or overnight, I’m happy to help however I can.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s pets all my life and am happy to take that experience and apply it as I care for your pets. I have a very flexible schedule, regarding time and days of the week. I am willing to work with each client individually and am happy to further discuss over a meet and greet. The safety of the pets I care for is of the utmost importance. Your trust (as well as theirs) and peace of mind are crucial for a well working relationship.

“Bre has a pleasant personality. My dogs immediately took to her during the meet and greet. She came and communicated as anticipated. We had a positive experience”

About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.

“Audrey was wonderful and patient while taking care of walking our beloved but deeply willful terrier when we left her with our elderly mother. My mother had nothing but wonderful things to say. Audrey really cares about animals and is just a sweet person. We plan to hire her again.”

About: I've had dogs all my life. My world isn't complete without a dog or three. I'll spoil your fur babies and treat them like my own. I work full time shift work, mostly nights, and my work days aren’t set. Please just send me a message and I’ll help any way I can. I'll respect your home and privacy and love all the fur babies as my own. If your pet comes to my home for boarding or day care they will be treated life family. My dogs and cats have full house access except the laundry room. They sleep in bed with me and get on the furniture. I have a fenced in yard for them to enjoy. I have a dog with chronic conditions so I am familiar with recognizing changes from the norm once I get to know a pet.

About: I lived on a farm my whole life so I have experience with all types of animals! My mom has 13 dogs (she’s a breeder), so I’m very capable of taking care of dogs, and puppies. I also have experience with cats, and love to snuggle all types of animals! My moms dogs are all sizes ranging from 7 pounds all the way to 85 pounds! I am able to walk the larger dogs without any trouble (I promise not to get scared and let go of the leash)! I love spending time with animals, I am currently a college student, and I am studying nursing at Towson University! I hope I can help you and your family out! Thank you so much for your time!

“Meeting Kat for the first time was a wonderful experience. She has a friendly and outgoing personality, and our dog, Wrigley, warmed up to her instantly. We’re excited to have her take care of Wrigley and house-sit for us while we’re away on vacation.”

Terry G.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so I have a lot of experience taking care of them. We are huge dog lovers in my house, so no dog is too big or too small. I volunteered at the Humane Society for about two years in high school. I would visit on Tuesdays and Thursdays to help clean the kennels, walk dogs, wash dogs, have play time with them in the office, as well as participate in adoption events. Lastly, I do have experience pet-sitting for multiple families and have two dogs of my own. I would love to be able to watch over your furry friends or take them on walks whenever needed, so that’s why I provide such a flexible schedule! I graduated from the University of Tennessee in May and now work from home running my marketing business, Lawson Marketing. I have plenty of time throughout the day to stop by for visits or to take dogs on walks, especially since I have a puppy of my own that needs to go out frequently. My services include drop-in visits as well as dog walking. I want to cater to each family's and their pet’s unique needs, so I strive to provide special care for each and every dog. I will prioritize their well-being by following any routines as well as adhering to any special needs. Another big factor that I will prioritize is communication. I want every family to know that their fur babies are in great hands!

“Thank you so much!!”

“Jalisa was very helpful with my dog. I was in town for work and she walked my dog each day and made sure she had something to drink at the end of the walk. She provided pictures and updates throughout their time together. She was willing to meet me on the day that I arrived in town so my dog would be familiar with her on the next day when she would have to get her without me being home. She was accommodating although it was a last minute booking. I would definitely use her again.”

About: I have been around all types of animals since I was born. Dogs, cats, hamsters, you name it and I have probably taken care of it. I have personal and professional experience with animals as I have been a kennel assistant in the past where I was trained in cpr and administering medication. My pets retest that knowledge everyday with their medication schedule! I have taken care of family members, neighbors, and friends animals and would love to take care of yours! Fortunately I am not the breadwinner in my household so I am always available for your pets needs! No weather is too hot or too cold for me to get out there! Whatever works for you will work for me! I know everyone has a different method of madness so you can just fill me in and I promise they wont even notice the difference!
