Dog Walking Riva

“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”

“Yet another great day of service with Kayla. She is our go-to dog walker whenever we’re going to have a long day out of the house. She’s always great with communication and has the full trust of our anxious, elderly pup”

“Barbara is AMAZING with our dog Mako, we are so glad we found her! She’s very responsive, flexible with scheduling, and she really loves Mako. She always sends adorable pictures of him, and we can tell he’s very well taken care of during his visits! Barbara has been coming every day during the week to walk Mako and she’s such a life saver now that we are back in the office. We feel so comfortable leaving him in her hands!!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and love playing with and training them. I unfortunately lost Axel, my shepherd/husky mix, last year. But I still have Harley (technically my boyfriend's, but we've lived together 3 years now). Harley is a sweet, 4-year-old, 40 lb spayed female mystery mix who loves to play, especially with other dogs. We go for lots of walks each day and we like playing, learning and practicing tricks. She knows the basics and can also spin, place, go around you, and now we're practicing crawl. I think people could learn a lot from dogs if they paid more attention. I've started dog sitting for neighbors the past few years and always enjoy getting to know new dogs. One of my favorite dogs I've cared for is Goose, a 5-year-old male Chesapeake Bay retriever. I also work managing a restaurant in town and do graphic design part-time from home as well. I'm currently not working a regular 9:00 - 5:00 job, so I'm available most days and times of the week. I usually have some availability for last minute walks as well. I live in an apartment downtown in Annapolis. We currently do not have a yard; however, we go for a lot of walks and still spend a lot of time outside at parks and just hanging out in front of the apartment to people (and dog) watch. I have a crate, and my dog is crate-trained, so if/when your pup is over, I'm prepared to separate them if needed.

“Brianna was great! I appreciated that she was available at the last minute and willing to do a meet-and-greet before the walk. She was very good with following instructions and took good care of my sweet Marley. I will be reaching out to her again.”

“Snowden is great! We were new to working with a dog walker. We usually would drop Grace off at the dog sitter’s place because she can be protective of our house. Snowden worked with us the first two dog walks - taking time for Grace to get to know her. But Grace liked her from the start. Yesterday Snowden came by to take Grace on an hour long walk through the nearby park. She also was thoughtful to bring in some packages that were delivered on the front porch.”

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

About: As someone who loves to travel, I know the importance of having trusted and communicative pet care. I have had two cats for 12 years and was lucky enough to become a dog mom when my husband I met 4 years ago. I have experience with walking and caring for our friends pets as well. I have a hybrid work schedule, so my availability is flexible for you and your fur baby’s needs. I can do early mornings, lunchtime, evenings, and overnights. We have a fenced in backyard that our dog enjoys and a covered porch that our cats enjoy. We can accommodate any animal and separate all the animals if feeding time is an issue.

About: Hi! I’m Jessie and I’m a lifelong animal lover I have even been called a cat whisperer. Personally, I have been an owner of German Shepherds since I have been alive and I have had cats since I’ve been four years old. Friends and family have been trusting me with their house keys since I’ve been able to drive even when I’m not pet sitting for them. I treat every pet like my own with kindness, patience, and all of the love. I have experience with a wide range of temperament from anxious animals to high energy animals. I will make sure I take the time to make sure your pet is comfortable with me and make sure I prioritize their routine. ✅Patient with all animals ✅Experience with medication administration ✅Flexible availability for daily drop in visits ✅Will provide photos and updates with every visit I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m available most weekends, mornings, and evenings for drop in visits. While I am there, I will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I offer drop-in visits only and I take the responsibility of entering your home seriously. I will treat your space with the same respect I would want for my own- keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment and giving you peace of mind that both your pet and your home are in good hands

About: Besides my own dogs that I have taken care of since I was very young, I also have been relied on to take care of family and neighbor dogs. Most dogs that I have cared for have been geriatric, and I am extremely patient with them, and strong enough to even lift the larger dogs when they can’t lift themselves. Before coming to MD, I worked on a farm and interacted with dozens of dogs every day. I have never met a dog that hasn’t liked me, or one I haven’t liked. I work from home and so can easily step out for a drop-in or house sit and work from your home. I can do early morning or late evening according to need. I am unable to board your dogs. However, I am more than able to watch your dogs in your home. When in a client’s home, my philosophy is to only touch what is needed. The client’s direction and privacy is key to a good relationship, as well as my discretion.

“Jodie was a huge help for us when we went on vacation. I even had the dates wrong and she still showed up and took care of our pup. We are very appreciative to have had her.”

About: I am not only pets friend and lover, but also there strong defender. A whole my life i was surrounded by forest animals and domestic pets. I love to spend my time with animals. They bring me a peace and kęp me moving. I can’t imagine my life without them. I I keep them safe, happy and relaxed. I give them not only food and water, but also love and care. I take a lot of them.

About: I’ve always been around animals—I currently have a dog and three cats, so I’m used to daily care, feeding, and handling different personalities. I’ve also helped take care of my mom’s and brother’s pets over the years, so I’m comfortable stepping into someone else’s routine and making sure their animals are taken care of the right way. I’m patient, reliable, and I actually pay attention to details like feeding schedules, behavior, and making sure pets feel comfortable while you’re away. My schedule is pretty consistent, so I can plan around your pet’s needs. I’m available most days and can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on what’s needed. I already take care of my own pets daily, so feeding, walks, and check-ins are part of my routine. I’m flexible and good with sticking to whatever schedule your pet is used to. I treat other people’s pets the same way I treat my own. I pay attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free. I have experience with multiple animals at once, including my own dog and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I keep a clean, safe environment and can follow any specific instructions you have, including crating if needed.

“I cannot recommend Andrew enough! I booked him for a whole week while I was on vacation, and my at-home dog sitter was unable to walk my dog, Champ. My sitter said that Champ got so excited every time he saw Andrew, and came home happy and tired after every walk with him. Andrew was extremely communicative, hardworking, and professional. He really listened to all my concerns about Champ, and made sure he prepared accordingly. He even walked in a torrential downpour to ensure Champ got his full amount of exercise! You won’t regret hiring Andrew for anything your dog may need.”

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!
