Dog Walking Riverside

“Brooke was fantastic! She was so kind to the dog and took such good care of them! Highly recommend Brooke.”

“I can't express how grateful I am to have found Kaitlyn as our dog walker! My puppy, Josie, has severe anxiety, and I was worried about finding the right person to help her adjust to daily walks without me or my boyfriend. From the moment we met Kaitlyn, it was clear that she was incredibly patient and kind, and she understood Josie's unique situation. She took the time to meet me every day for a week to build trust with Josie and help her adapt, and Josie has grown so much in the weeks since! Kaitlyn is also very sweet toward our second dog, Llama, who she also occasionally walks. Kaitlyn is professional, punctual and responsive. She listened to the extensive notes I gave about Josie and has gone above and beyond to prioritize Josie's safety and comfort. She also sends detailed updates and photos after each visit. Not only is Kaitlyn helping Josie blossom, but she has also given my boyfriend and me peace of mind that Josie is well cared for. We couldn't be happier with her services, and we highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for someone who truly understands and cares for animals!”

About: Hey! My name is Hannah, I'm a young professional hoping to love on your pets! I'm relatively new to Rover so thank you for your patience and grace! I've grown up with cats my whole life, and have experience caring for my extended family's dogs. I have experience with young, elderly, shy, hyper, temper-mental, and loving cats. I have experience with young, energetic, laid-back, and senior dogs, however I have less experience with dogs overall. I’m an attentive dog walker and will be hyper aware to your dog’s every need! Please let me know the general attitude of your pet beforehand so I can prepare accordingly! I have experience giving oral medication to pets, but not injections. I currently work with many different kinds of marine animals by maintaining their water quality and health. Rest assured your pet will be well cared for if I'm their sitter! You can expect constant communication, lots of pictures, and thoughtful questions from me! I pride myself on my attention to detail and love when pet parents leave me a printed care sheet for their fur babies. ATTENTION: My work schedule is 8am-4pm Monday through Friday. I work the first weekend of every month and will be unavailable to book during those hours on those days. Don't worry, I will inform you if I'm working! I’m able to provide potty breaks every 8 hours on days I work, and every 4 hours or less on days I’m not working! I don't accept bookings without a Meet & Greet beforehand as I want your fur babies to vibe with me! If there are any further questions please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm currently working full time 8am-4pm Monday-Friday (and one weekend a month) so I have plenty of time to check on your pets before you get home from work! I can provide potty breaks every 8 hours when I'm working, and every 4 hours or less when I'm not working. Trust assured that your pets will be well cared for. Your pet will be monitored the entire time I'm with them so no accidents happen! Even if I'm just taking your animal on a walk or checking in on them during the work day, everything will be triple checked before leaving your home. I take pride in my attention to detail and will follow any instructions you give me thoroughly.

About: I've lived with animals my entire life — there's never been a stretch without a cat or a dog in the house. I've raised three puppies from their chaotic early weeks all the way to well-mannered adulthood, and I've spent just as many years around cats, from skittish rescues to laid-back lap cats who never leave your side. That mix of experience means I'm comfortable with the very different things dogs and cats need — walks, playtime, and training cues for one; a calm hand, a clean litter box, and patience for the other. Years of pet-sitting for other families has taught me to read what an individual animal needs rather than treat every visit the same way. Whether it's a dog who needs an energetic walker, a cat who just wants company and consistency, or a multi-pet household juggling both, I'll treat your home and your pets like my own. While my weekday work hours are long, my weekends are sacred — and my golden retriever gets the full benefit of that. We're out for long walks, playing at the park, or just hanging out together with nothing else competing for my attention. That's the same energy and focus your pet would get when I'm caring for them: undivided attention, plenty of activity, and someone who genuinely wants to be there rather than squeezing it in between other things. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my approach is the same: plenty of activity balanced with genuine downtime. I'm an active person who loves a good long walk, a game of fetch, or just running around outside — but I'm just as happy cozying up with a good book while a dog or cat curls up next to me. Lots of snuggles are guaranteed either way. I live in a very walkable part of Baltimore with lots of foot traffic, so there's no shortage of good routes and new sights and smells. My golden retriever and I are out most days walking along the wharf, and I'm glad to bring your pet along on those same walks or tailor the pace and distance to whatever they're used to. In your home, I'll stick as closely as possible to your pet's normal routine — feeding times, walk schedule, favorite spots — so the biggest change they notice is an extra set of hands to give them attention.

“Kathleen was wonderful! Very communicative and easy to work with. Ozzie loved walking with her and we’re grateful for the extra helping hand when traveling for work.”

“Hannah came by to walk my dog with only 20 minutes’ notice! I am recovering from surgery and unable to walk her myself so I checked Rover when Gemma got antsy. Hannah was just what we needed! Gemma did everything she needed to do on her walk and came back and went right to sleep, which I needed. Thank you Hannah! Five stars.”

About: Hi! I have over 20 years of pet-care experience between my own pets and others’. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry loved ones and making sure they’re fed, cuddled, and taken care of! I have experience giving pill and liquid medication. I understand what it’s like to miss your baby while you’re away, so I will always send you lots of photos! I have a flexible work schedule so I’m available for most types of care, including last-minute needs that may come up! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. With experience taking caring of my own cats, including my current 3 boys, I’m used to building my day around feeding schedules, playtime, and medication when needed. I also understand the need to keep their routines consistent and stress-free. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. For cats, this means keeping their routines consistent, such as feeding at the usual times, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed. You will receive regular updates and photos, so you know your babies are happy and cared for while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is Lauren. I know it can be nerve wracking being away from your pet, even if it’s just for a few hours. With previous experience working in a veterinary office and pet care for many years, I want to help! I’ve been able to assist many family, friends, and others over the years and have been around animals all my life. I just moved to Maryland and am getting back to Rover again. I look forward to seeing them and taking care of them as if they were my own. I’m currently looking for a job, so I do have a lot of free time. I am able to help in feeding, walking, and playing. I am very transparent and like to update each visit. We can review what that looks like beforehand. Safety is a priority and I want to make this experience excellent for both you and your pet.

“Dominique made our trip to DC so much better. She sent a card summarizing the walk and where they went, how far and the doggy business. We really appreciated Dominique!”

About: Friends and family know I will always jump at an opportunity to help out and spend time with a pet, and I've spent a lot of time taking care of both my own and other's dogs and cats. I grew up training and running with my family dog, and now I have my own little kitten who is my best friend! I am a master's student at Johns Hopkins with a pretty flexible schedule. My classes are primarily mid-day T-F, and I am available most other times for walks, feeding, or just a check in! Your pet your rules - I always like to make sure their environment is safe and free of hazards and accident prone things, but any additional things you might need I am happy to accommodate. I will always double check that their space is safe when I leave your home!

About: Hello my name is Shreeya! I recently moved to Fells Point and am excited to work with a new community of pet owners. With 8 years of experience caring for family and neighborhood dogs, plus a year of professional pet care with Walk and Wag (professional pet care company) in North Carolina, I bring both heart and hands-on expertise to every sit. In that time, I've cared for over 30 pets, including dogs, cats, and even a bunny! I'm comfortable with a wide range of breeds, from Shih Tzus and Shiba Inus to Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and have meaningful experience supporting senior and medically complex dogs. Above all, I know that every pet is different. I adjust my energy and approach to match yours, whether they need extra patience and calm or a more active, high-energy companion. As a research coordinator at Hopkins, my schedule is consistent and I rarely travel on weekends! For your pet this means I am rarely out of town and can commit to regular evening, morning or weekend visits :) I provide care exclusively in your home, so your pet gets to stay in the environment they know and love. Your pet gets one-on-one attention in their own space, with all their familiar sights, smells, and routines intact.

“Bailey was excellent! Very communicative and extremely comfortable and reassuring with my reactive dogs, which can be difficult to find since there are two of them! Would absolutely hire her again!”

“Fabiola is fabulous. On short notice, she accepted my request for weekly walks. She takes wonderful care of my dog. My neighbors say they she them walking, and Fabiola manages my excitable puppy well and has an enjoyable walk. Her communication is prompt.”
