“Elise has been so great with daily walks for Daisy, our 2 year old Golden Retriever. We love the photos that she sends of their walks together and all the fun adventures that Daisy gets to go on!”
About: I grew up fostering animals from the Humane Society of Harford County, caring for animals with the range of young puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. And, yes, I’ve “foster-failed” a few times, and have multiple cats and dogs of my own. A house isn’t a home without a fur baby. I am a middle-school teacher who currently has full availability now that summer vacation has begun. I’d love to fill my time off by caring for your four-legged friends! Fostering animals with a variety of backgrounds, training levels, capabilities, etc., has given me a lot of experience with creating a safe and happy environment.
“I can't say enough great things about Sarah. She is definitely on our top list of dog walkers. She is friendly, on time, and so genuine. She loved our dog and he loved her right back. Sarah took on extra walks to help our family at the last minute. I highly recommend Sarah and am grateful I found her.”
“Emily was extremely helpful. She came over the day before to meet and greet the dogs, allowing them to open up to her more. She arrived on time every day and took plenty of pictures. When Astrid decided it was too cold to go out and tried to hide, Emily did her best to bribe her out of her hiding space (which we feel awful cause our room was rather messy that day). The dogs loved her and would choose Emily's services again!”
About: I've had my own dogs since I was a teenager, and I've cared for most kinds of cats, dogs, and small rodents. I'm attentive, detail-oriented, and can't wait to meet your pets! I work a hybrid job local to the Bel Air area, so I’m available to help out on evenings and weekends. I am currently only available for drop ins and walks. I will never bring my own dog to your home without direct permission. I try my best to leave any house better than how I found it.
“First time ever hiring a dog walker to check in on my pet while I was away, now I feel silly for always boarding my dog. Elise was incredibly professional, caring, responsive, and punctual. Got back to me same day to schedule a pre-meet to make sure I was comfortable before reserving the booking, took good notes to learn about my and my pet's needs, then did exactly what she promised to do. Even immediately checked in with me on the correct course of action when something happened I hadn't anticipated. I can absolutely see why she as such a high rating and star status! Will definitely try to book with her for any future pet care needs!”
About: I have always had dogs growing up since I was a baby. I have been around dogs all sizes from Shih Tzu’s to Saint Bernards. I have currently a pitty who is reactived and been doing class with him. If you need someone to walk, run, watch or play with your dog(s) look no further! I currently work at a before and after school program. Was the program director, but now just work pm shifts. I’m free any time in the morning all the way up to about 1pm and will be busy until about 7 I can’t house sit at my house unfortunately at the moment with currently living situation. I have a yard for my dog to run, outdoor tent for my cats to be outside, and two birds cages for one inside and one outside.
“Sianna has been a great help with buddy! He’s a nervous guy and she was kind enough to work with us before moving forward so he had a smooth transition and he got used to her very quickly! She’s well versed in animal behavior and very professional. I’m so glad we found her.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have trained them to be hunting dogs and overall good boys. On top of that, I have raised and fostered different kitten litters and cats. I have patience and an overwhelming appreciation for animals of all kinds. I would love to get to know your good boy or girl I have very flexible hours during the summer months since I am a teacher. I am available after school during the school year and on weekends. I provide a safe space for cats and dogs. I have a lot of respect for my animals and animals in general. They are the most pure things in this world and I try to reciprocate love and appreciation to them.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and am most comfortable taking care of medium to smaller dogs. I’m happy to give them walks, let them out, feed them, and general care. I currently own a cat who’s doesn’t like any other pets, so I can’t have my own dog just yet. In the meantime I’m more than happy to take care of yours! My cat is a diabetic so I am comfortable giving insulin injections as well. I work from home so I have flexibility during the weekday to stop by for a visit or even stay for an extended time if need be. I also have some availability on weekends as well! I am reliable and willing to check in as many times as you require. If there are any issues or concerns I’m happy to discuss them with you prior to watching your pet. If you have any special needs I’ll do my best to accommodate them.
About: I've loved dogs since I was a child, and finally was able to get one in 2017. Since then, I have not stopped caring for or petting dogs, as they are a constant source of pure joy in my life. I am also trained in certain animal science. For the summer, I am completely free for pet care! I am usually awake by 6 and can walk as late as like 10 pm. In your home, your dog is where they are most comfortable. I plan on allowing them to guide whether or not they want to play, go out again (for fun! not just for a walk), sleep, or whatever it is they want to do. I promise to respect you, your house, and especially your pet!
About: I’ve had so many pets growing up! From dogs, cats, bunnies and even ducks I’ve always love having animals. Friends and family have relied on me to feed and walk their pets anytime they go on vacation. I currently work in childcare but my availability will be more open during the summer! So why not fill that extra time doing something i love? Caring for fur babies!! I will take care of your fur baby like they are my own! Making sure they are well feed, cared for and giving them all the love and snuggles while you are away!

I have seen her work with 5 dogs at a time and get them to follow basic directions, as a group, in about 15 minutes. Anyone leaving a dog with her should feel comfortable that it would get the same care as her own and be very safe and happy.”
