Dog Walkers in Preston, MD

About: I’m a lifelong animal owner and “farm girl” with experience owning and working with dogs, cats, small animals, livestock, and even exotics. I previously worked as a small and large animal veterinary nurse. I am a full time teacher available early mornings and evenings on weekdays with more daytime flexibility during breaks and summer months. During the school year I am limited to before and after school hours. I care for your animal as if they were my own! I am attentive to your animal’s needs and will make sure to do things “your way” in order to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible!

About: I’ve had different types of dogs since I was young. I’ve trained dogs for all types of reasons. I’m a lover of all pups and can handle your dogs needs. I own a large property specifically for the environment, which is perfect for dogs. I look forward to meeting your doggie and returning a happy pup back to you. Please message for any details. I’m available on weekends and weeknights. I work full time M-F, so weekends are primarily open. While I can do many activities during the work week, I am gone about 8 hours for my primary job. Weeknights and weekends are available. I have a large property with plenty of room to roam. Chickens in the yard (in coop). I have a 6 year old pup of my own that is very docile, loves other animals and gets along with them easily, and is my number two. I don’t have a fence because my dog is perimeter trained. However, I can perimeter train your dog too or walk them on a leash if that is preferred. I plan to add a fence soon and will update this once I do.

About: I have cared for many animals over the past 16 years for friends and family & also have two dogs of my own who are my world. I am currently a stay at home mom with full time availability. I am able to crate your animals at night if needed for sleep and give frequent bathroom breaks throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and two playful doggies to give your fur baby company while they have a vacation in our home. I will care for your pets as I do my own & treat them like family while they are here!

“Fantastic job! Thank you so much! Kathy”

About: I do not have a lot of experience with dogs. I can take dogs on walks and I think dogs are cute, but I am mostly a cat sitter I am a recent college graduate looking for a job, so I have a lot of time on my hands to meet some cool cats I will only be visiting clients' homes. I cannot have other cats over for catsitting as I have roommates with other pets in the house.

“Shayla really helped me out with walking my dogs when I was in a pinch. Extremely professional and great communication! Got home to two very relaxed and happy dogs! The pictures of the experience were an added bonus. I’ll definitely reach out again for help.”

About: My husband, William, and I have 7 years experience with raising high drive working dogs starting as young as 8 weeks. We feel well equipped to provide the highest level care for your furry loved one while maintaining any training goals. Your dogs comfort and safety is our highest priority so we will try to match your dogs schedule to the best of our ability. I am currently offering care on my days off allowing me the opportunity to have a flexible schedule to fit your dog’s needs during both week days and weekends. I have a 6 foot fenced in yard for your dog to have some safe off leash playtime. Your dog will be home with our residential dog, Duke, during their visit. Duke is an intact male Labrador, so if your dog is in heat, we will keep them separate. All dog gear (toys, water bowls, etc) will be thoroughly cleaned between dog visits to prioritize the health and safety of your dog.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I bring more than just basic pet care—I offer genuine companionship and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who needs structured walks or a senior dog who craves gentle attention and routine, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs. My background includes working with rescue dogs, administering oral medications, and handling multi-dog households with calm confidence. While growing up, I lived in a home with multiple dogs and have cared for many dogs around my community. I currently own four dogs, two miniature dachshunds, one cane corso and my senior german shepherd. I have spent many of hours training my dogs, especially the cane corso who was a tad reactive, and they are all doing great! I would love to continue helping out around the community to care for your companions. I am currently working a full-time job in Easton, MD from 9-4:30 Monday through Friday. I would be open for mornings, evenings, and weekends. Sometimes, I am totally able to pop out for lunch time walks if it’s in Easton and know ahead of time. I am pretty flexible! In my home, I have three dogs that are crate trained and one that roams the home. I currently have a fenced in yard for my dogs as of recently, but have many years of experience with leashed walks and leash training with my own dogs and client’s dogs.

About: Experience with multiple breeds of dogs. My heart is owned by our 5 boys and our 3 furbabies 16 year old Siberian Husky named Lola, a 2 year old husky/german Shepard mix named Skye and a 13 year old Australian shepherd named Apache . Firmly believe that pets are family and that it’s up to us humans to provide them with the best life possible. Without a doubt, I will treat your pet family members as if they were my own, with an abundance of love and attention. I know what it’s like to have a good pet sitter and I’ve been very fortunate to know what it’s like to have a peaceful vacation without worries, let me be the one to ease your mind when it comes to your pets care. I’m always doing something doggie related. In addition to Rover we also offer dog grooming so we stay pretty busy with the pooches every day of the week. I have crates to accommodate all sizes of pups for those that are crate trained. Those that need a human bed to sleep in, I’ve got plenty of those as well. Huge yard for lots of exercise.

About: Hi! I’m Melissa, and caring for animals is truly one of my passions. I currently volunteer at the Talbot Humane Society, where I work with rescued and often neglected pets. This experience has taught me how to handle all kinds of temperaments with patience and love. I’m reliable, communicative, and will care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, overnight care, playtime, or special dietary needs, I’ve got it covered. I also have a background in healthcare, so I’m confident with medication schedules and attentive to health and safety. I am available any day and time that works best for you and your furry friends. I am also available for overnight stays on a case to case basis. It is very important to recognize the needs of the pets and respond accordingly. Be patient and calm with pets that are scared or shy. Pets are very sensitive to change and may be missing their people. It is definitely important to maintain their regular schedule as much as possible.

About: I am a life-long dog owner/lover. I just finished an internship as an environmental educator in New York state; I'm home for the holidays and hoping to hangout with some new friends! I love to stay active and spend time outside. I cycled across the country in 2023 to raise funds and awareness for adolescent and young adult cancer with the Ulman Foundation. I’ve fallen in love with serving others and appreciate the opportunity to serve your pets as well! I previously worked at Kevertin Pet Resort where I extended my care for dogs from my home to hundreds of new dogs. I've dealt with tons of different breeds, and know that each dog brings a new personality and presents a new challenge. I have spent thousands of hours walking, feeding, and playing with dogs. I'd like to think I know a thing or two about dogs but certainly am prepared to learn more. My current schedule is very flexible and I should be able to work with you and your pet(s)'s needs! I have online courses that meet on Sundays and engage in various other virtual meetings throughout the week. These can be done anywhere. I am not currently able to bring pets to my residence. I’m happy to do whatever you and your pup prefer whether it be walking, playing, or just lounging.

About: I have had many animals in my life. Mostly dogs and cats that have grown up with me since the day I was born. I have experience in training, taking care of many different animals. I also have been able to adapt to each animals different routine and care throughout each of my experiences. I currently have a job that varies week to week. Message me dates and I can give you my schedule. I’m hoping to meet more animals and help keep you at ease of taking care of your pet while you’re away. I will maintain your home as it was when I arrived. I will take care of your pet and use the supplies you have provided and keep them and the environment as clean as possible.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. My family has always had pets, and I’m a natural pet lover. About two years ago I got my first domestic bunny, and now have two (of course Humphrey needed a bunwife). So I am experienced in bunny care as well. I am so excited to gain your trust by treating your fur babies like my own, and promise to make you feel secure leaving them with me! My schedule is pretty flexible. I babysit for a family in Preston three days a week but the times vary. It evens out to about 18/20 hours spread throughout three days so if your pet is here during those days they may be here without me for a few hours. My fiance does help when he’s off of work so as long as he’s home they would have him too. I own my home with my fiance, and we have a fenced in yard. The fence is about half of the height of your typical fenced in yard, so if your pet is curious and you think they would jump it we can accommodate a lead for your pet to be on just in case. This way they can still get the exercise and freedom a fenced in yard would provide. If your pet is used to going on walks, let me know so we can keep that same routine here. All outside playtime will be supervised as well. Our home contains a very friendly lab who is two and very high energy and gets excited easily, an older chihuahua mix (around 14 years old) and a middle aged chihuahua mix (6 years old). All pets in my home are vaccinated. I am also a nursing student and my boyfriend is a police officer, so we like to think this helps make us trustworthy and professional people who will give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Not only do I just genuinely love dogs, I also have prior experience working with dogs at a doggy day care and veterinary hospitals. I’ve dealt with dogs from 5lbs-150+lbs. I have experience with diabetic dogs, blind dogs, seizure dogs, etc. I am capable of anything you need me to do for your furry kids! From giving them medication at certain times, to feeding them a specific diet, anything they need. I will love on them while you are away and give them all of the attention they need, as well as updating you with cute pictures! As always, I am only a text or phone call away. If for any reason, they have a medical emergency, I will call you right away and take them to your vet. If they have any grooming or vet appointments that you need me to take them to or pick them up from, I offer those type of services too. Any questions you have, please feel free to ask and we can surely discuss options that suit you and your babies best! I can’t wait to meet and learn everything I need in order to provide the best care for your furry kids!!!! I work at a vet clinic currently so throughout the day I am taking care of many peoples pets and fur babies. Whenever I’m dog sitting, I try my hardest to be there for other peoples pets whenever they are away as I treat everyone’s pet as if they were my own. Every pet deserves love and care. I try my hardest to provide clear communication with myself and the owners of the pets I sit for. I would expect nothing less then detailed communication as well as pictures so that my clients trust that their pets are in great care while they are away.
