Dog Walking Romancoke

About: I lived around both dogs and cats my whole life, with both family and roommates, and I absolutely love it. While I'm not in the position to have my own furry friend at the moment, I love to care for animals. I spent about a year (2025) volunteering with the MCACAC shelter cats and dogs in Christiansburg, including participating in their training courses, and now feel confident bringing that experience to work with pets that already have found their families as well. I currently work part-time and unfortunately my hours change every week, so I can't take on consistent requests at the moment. I am still available to schedule individual week-of appointments, but I cannot guarantee availability more than one week out. As far as working with pets in your home, please let me know your house rules. I generally use whatever items the pet uses at home (leash, treats, etc) for the sake of consistency for the pet and pet parent.

About: I have been passionately caring for dogs, cats, and horses since high school, building years of hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I worked professionally as a dog walker and pet sitter for an Annapolis-based pet care company, providing reliable services to pet owners throughout Annapolis and Arnold. While attending college full time, I also worked as a barn assistant at a large horse boarding facility in Sandy Spring, where I gained extensive experience in daily horse care and stable management. After moving to Stevensville, I continued working as a barn assistant for two horse farms caring for multiple horses. My lifelong love for animals, combined with my professional experience, allows me to provide attentive, compassionate, and dependable care for both household pets and horses. I’m currently working part time locally where I work 8 hour shifts a few days a week. I will work closely with you to ensure your pet’s routine works smoothly with mine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I strive to create a calm, trustworthy, and stress-free environment where pets feel secure, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs, carefully follow owner instructions, and maintain a clean, safe environment during every visit, walk, or overnight stay.

About: As a mom and lifelong animal lover, I understand how important trust is when someone cares for your pet. I offer dependable, attentive care in a calm home setting. I’m patient, nurturing, and detail-oriented — making sure your dog feels loved, exercised, and safe at all times. My open schedule allows for consistent supervision and care. I’m flexible with my time and available most days and weekends which allows attentive care :) I care for pets in my home, offering a secure and relaxed setting while you’re away. They will be comfortable safe and always loved :)

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats in a personal and professional capacity for 25 years now. For many years, I turned our home into an orphan kitten and cat rescue and worked with the organization Planned Pethood to care for and adopt out over 50 cats! I've taken care of cats and dogs for friends, family, and clients in all life stages - from bottle babies to elderly and incontinent cancer patients. I have experience administering pills and insulin injections, and welcome working with dogs and cats at all life stages. Tricky diets and particularities don't put me off.. I've seen it all! Long walks and cuddles are my specialty, and I look forward to making new four legged friends! I'm currently completing a graphic design certificate online, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I'm available both weekdays and weekends, as I have no particular set schedule. I make sure to keep dogs on their leash during walks, and to secure all yard gates before letting them outdoors. I keep the home clean and tidy, and make sure there haven't been any accidents or breakages. I tend to stay at the home all day when staying overnight so the animals always have company and any emergencies are handled immediately.

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: My biggest priority is communication! I love to send check ins and pictures throughout the day, and often ask questions. I will always double check instructions to make sure your pet has the care you intended. I am also outdoorsy and love to walk! I will always extend a walk if I can, not cut it short or do the bare minimum. I am committed to giving your pet the exercise and attention the deserve! I am a nanny, student, and big fan of exercise! I have alot going on in my day, but often have gaps in between that allow me to visit your animals and get them outside. I can often be found doing homework in the evenings, and I always seem to get so much more done when dogsitting! I will always follow instructions and ask questions if I am not sure. I will never feed your pet anything that is not from you, and I will use proper precautions, leashes, harnesses, etc, when outside. I will always clean up after myself and be diligent about locking doors and leaving the house as I found it.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, from friends to family, and have a family diva shih tzu in Maryland that is mostly family trained. I’ve also fostered a pitbull mix for a month! I’m also a dog walking volunteer at a local animal shelter. I’m good with animals and as an eldest sister I have a natural caretaking instinct (as well as being responsible and hard working ) :) I currently am a Ballet Dancer with the St Louis Ballet and have a part time job. That being said most of my morning and nights are available for all your pups / kitties needs :) I am an avid walk talking and will indulge in a run if your pet is up to it! I make sure to follow the owners instructions and treat the pet as it was my own, as well as the owners property and belongings

“Taivon responded very quickly to my last minute booking request & was super helpful when It came to walking my dog as I was unable to get out of bed due to sickness. He is very professional when it comes to communication , he’s patient with my Rottweiler and he makes sure my pup gets his energy out by the time he comes back from his walk. I was honestly surprised at how calm my dog was upon meeting him for the first time. If Riley is happy, i’m happy🐶. Will be booking again 👍🏽.”

About: I grew up with dogs in the house and have always helped care for them. I honestly really miss having them around and would love to help care for your animals. I have more experience with dogs than cats, but am open to helping out with cats as well. I plan to follow each animal's specific feeding, walking, and medication schedule. Just let me know the details, and I'll stick to the routine the animal is accustomed to. I ethically believe animals should be treated with respect and care. Therefore, I'll treat your animal as if it were my own, with love and care. I plan to follow whatever type of feeding, walking, medication management schedule each animal has.

About: I’ve been caring for cats, dogs, rabbits- you name it, since I was pretty young. My dad was in veterinary care so I know how to tend to animals who aren’t doing too well. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, trim nails, train and bathe their pets. I am currently able to house sit any day of the week. I am available for dog (or cat) walking any day from 12:00pm to 10:00pm. I would appreciate getting a 48 hour notice in advance. I love keeping your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible! I’ll follow all of your instructions, from meal times and walks to favorite toys, nap spots, and those little quirks that make your pup unique. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat them like family and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and fun!

About: My name is Taylor and I am a veterinary technician servicing the DMV area. I have been working with dogs specifically since I was 15 and cats since I was 18. I personally have a cat and have had dogs in the past, and I understand the stress put on the importance of finding someone that you can trust to watch your animals while you are away. Safety is my upmost concern and as a veterinary technician and a groomer, I am very experienced in dog and cat care and would love to babysit your little angel! I can't wait to meet you and thanks for visiting my profile! I currently work from home so I have more than enough time to devote to your pet and their individual needs. My hours are not necessarily tied to a desk or computer either, so I am able to do walks freely throughout the day. Depending on the customers request, I am able to accommodate most housing accomodations. There is a room specifically designated in the house for the pet for the duration of the stay, which has toys, beds, food and water as well as a TV. it’s also a daybed for me as well so that I am able to stay in the room with your pet. My backyard is large and it’s open, however I will be keeping pers on-leash anytime they are outside.

About: I have always taken care of pets since I was 8 years old along with growing up with animals in my household. I taught my former roommate cat to sit for treats and in the next year I am looking to get my license for animal training. I have always loved taking care of animals and am excited to help take care of yours. Adding your animal to my family and always treating your pet like my own with the same love and respect as my own. I am very flexible with others schedules and how late or early feedings are or walks. I take animals very seriously in addition with giving them the same love you'd give them at home during your daily reutine.
