Dog Walking Schneider Crossroads

About: I love animals, especially dogs, and spend a lot of my free time volunteering at local shelters. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and disabilities. Currently I am caring for two dogs with disabilities long term: and elderly French Bulldog with partial paralysis, and a young pittie mix with three legs due to a car accident. These dogs require equal amounts of patience and love when being cared for, as well as extra attention and physical aid with mobility (ex. going up and down stairs) I'm someone who genuinely loves animals, and would do this for free if everything wasn't so expensive now. I will take the time to socialize and get to know your pet so they are comfortable, relaxed, and overjoyed when I arrive. I also have a medical background which makes me very comfortable dealing with pet medications and special needs. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan around my clients schedules and ensure I am free to care for your pet almost any day and time. I take care of two disabled dogs full time, they require extra care and attention but you can expect that same level from me when I care for any pet. You can expect me to tailor the experience to your specific doggos needs, to socialize and play with them, and to make sure they're always overjoyed when I stop by. I have good attention to detail and a medical background which allows me to handle any special needs or routines your pet has.

About: Having pets of my own has taught me how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your animals. I currently have two dogs (our senior cat sadly passed) so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m very outdoorsy and active, so I love keeping dogs engaged with fun walks, playtime, and lots of attention while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m house sitting or out on walks, I focus on giving pets a fun, stress-free experience while keeping owners updated and reassured. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I care for. I'm the lady you pass on a hike who smiles and says hi! to your dog first! I’m an avid walker and genuinely love being around animals, so spending time with pets is something I truly enjoy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or relaxing companionship, I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, care, and affection. I’m available for overnight house sitting and can stay the full night to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their own home. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are also very open for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your furry family members. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established schedule, including feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I know pets are most relaxed when they feel secure and familiar, so I focus on giving them calm attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’m very attentive on walks and outdoors, always keeping pets safely leashed and away from unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort so I can respond to each pet’s individual needs. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel reassured and connected while their pets are in my care. My goal is to ensure your pet wags or purrs like crazy every time I walk in that door!

“Tamara is absolutely incredible. We have been though a couple of walkers (they’ve been great too) however, Tamara is amazing. She goes above and beyond. She spends time working with my pup, communicates and gives helpful suggestions on how to get my pup to lower his anxiety. If I could give her 6 stars, I WOULD! Highly recommend!”

About: I enjoy pet sitting and have tried to do it consistently as I can for the past 5 years. I am responsible and experienced. I have experience with domestic pets and turtles. I have a lot of experience with households with multiple dogs or a combination of pets such as cats and turtles or dogs and rabbits. I have other contract type jobs, but I really enjoy pet sitting and try to do it as much as possible. It is a consistent part of my week. I will always focus my energy on the pets in my clients home while I’m there. I will live my life on the schedule they are on to the best of my ability.

About: I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I have experience caring for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and TLC. My own 14-year-old dog has taught me that every walk doesn't have to be fast to be meaningful, and I'm happy to match each pet's pace and individual needs. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine. I care for my own dog daily, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I understand how important it is for pets to stick to their routines, so whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time together, I'm committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in my home. I have a gentle, friendly 14-year-old dog who gets along well with other animals. While I don't have a fenced yard, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise and outdoor time through regular leashed walks. I provide a safe, loving environment with lots of attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and I'll do my best to keep them on the routine they're used to at home.

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I currently have cats, a dog, and a lizard! I have experience pet sitting for family and neighbors. I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am flexible and can hang out with your pets as much as you would like. I am open to late nights or early mornings as well. I believe that pets are the most comfortable in their own homes. It’s better to come to them so they can stay where they know, rather than having to get comfortable in a new place.

“I'm so glad I found Nouf! She was punctual for every walk and kept me in the loop with photo updates. My dog was thrilled to see her again during her second visit. I’ll definitely be booking with Nouf again whenever the need arises.”

“Ashley was an absolute angel watching my Romeo!! She was extremely thorough and followed my instructions to a T (there were many! Lol) she was inquisitive and took pride in being helpful and making sure my puppy was well taken care of. She was always early or on time and always gave my baby lots of love! I would and WILL be asking her to dog sit again! Thank you so much Ashley!! ⭐️”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own—a Pit Bull and a Mastiff mix—which has given me plenty of experience caring for large, strong, and energetic dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of patience, exercise, consistency, and individual attention. Whether your dog needs a good walk, playtime, companionship, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. Dog walking is a natural part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m already accustomed to providing consistent walks, exercise, feeding, and attention throughout the day. The safety and well-being of every pet I care for is my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel comfortable and secure in my care.

“My family was very happh with Ji Ung and Hyunjoo taking care of our dog Toast :) They were very nice from the moment we met them and we werr able to explain both on the website as well as inperson any comments or extra details about what Toast might need. They would even send us a couple of videos here and there of him eating or playing which reassured us how well he was taken care of. Thank you both again for taking care of him so well!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and love all animals. I work at a local dog boarding and doggy daycare facility so I have lots of experience with all sizes, ages and breeds of dogs. I will love your dog like they are my own and give them all the pets and playtime they need! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to drop in and care for your dog(s) or take them for a walk. I’m local to the South Riding/Stone Ridge area. I will always make sure to treat your home with respect and care while dropping in with your dogs or taking them for their daily sniff around the neighborhood! I’m great at following instructions so I can care for your dogs the way you want them cared for.

About: As a friendly cat-sitter for family friends around the area, and cat owner for years, I know the responsibilities of caring for one. These include changing the litter, understanding feeding schedules, playing, etc. I have taken care of cats from all stages of life! Additionally, I have taken care of friends’ dogs while they are out of town by feeding, walking, and playing with them! Your pet will be cared for like my own, and rest assured they will be loved, content, fed, and safe while you are gone! I am available for last-minute holiday visits! I’m currently a full time student and work a part time job as an intern at FCPS. As for availability, please message me, I am very flexible. I can assure you your dogs will stay active, fed, groomed, and cared for in every way! As far as cats I have one at home so I will adjust to the cats’ personality by giving them space if need be. Additionally, I will make sure they are clean, fed, and hydrated!

“Yiyi was great in taking care of Francine and making sure she got a nice long walk while I was at work. You can trust YiYi with your pets and home”

About: I have been a vet tech and animal educator in the past. I’m very flexible with scheduling, and understand last minute things come up. I am happy to work with whatever pet needs you have! For locals I can pop in as often as needed, I’m happy to be flexible with your needs. My availability right now is wide open. I am comfortable with pets that need medical care, pets that are less comfortable with people/strangers/ other animals, and the less common pets. I believe in full transparency, and will provide your pets with the care you would give them yourself.

About: I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am patient, attentive, and take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs. I understand how important it is for owners to trust the person caring for their pets, so I focus on providing reliable care, following instructions carefully, and keeping owners updated. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I care for my own kitten and dog every day, so pet care is already a regular part of my routine. Feeding, cleaning up after pets, playing with them, and making sure they’re comfortable are things I do daily. I enjoy being around animals and can dedicate time each day to caring for pets. I provide pets with a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications (if needed), and any special care requirements. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while respecting their individual personalities and needs. In a client’s home, I treat their home and pets with respect, keep everything tidy, and provide updates so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: I love animals! I have a dog currently and had a cat. I’ve been caring for them my whole life. I know a lot about both dogs and cats. I adopted my cat and got my dog close in age so they would be close with each other so i’ve had both puppies and kittens to elder pets. I love going on runs and walks with my dog and having fun together. I’d have to say bathing and playing with both dogs and cats is my favorite but I love doing anything with pets. A special skill I have would be cutting dog and cat nails especially the darker nails and having both dogs and cats feel comfortable while getting a bath. There is never a dull moment when caring for any dog or cat.

About: I have been fortunate to have "furry children " (a.k.a. Dogs) in my home for the majority of my adult life.....and I always will.....words I live by? Gotta love dogs! Seasoned, mature and loving, I'm available for those in need of regularly scheduled care and new clients that love their furry "children" as much as I do! I'm an Empty-nester, have a flexible schedule, and work assignments from home. I have plenty of time to walk and care for your furry family members. Caring for dogs is part of my day. I always make sure that the pets in my care are feed, walked, played with, and left clean, comfortable and content after each visit.
