Dog Walkers in Seneca Upland, MD

About: I started my own dog walking business in my neighborhood when I was 14. I have genuine love for dogs, I bring reliability, patience, and attentiveness to every dog walking session. Your furry companion's safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I ensure they receive the exercise and attention they need. From navigating different personalities to handling various breeds, I have the expertise to cater to your dog's unique needs. When you hire me, you're not just getting a walker; you're gaining a trustworthy and compassionate companion for your beloved pet. I am also a intern at a veterinary hospital where I have learned a lot about animal welfare. I currently only have one class from 8am-10:15am and I am free in the early mornings, early and late afternoons, and night time. I work 2 jobs on the weekends so availability on those days may differ. I pamper every single pet I own. My dog gets his own separate dinner plate full of our meal scraps like salmon skins and meat, etc. My 2 cats are nice and plump and have an endless amount of toys. I take my dog to my neighborhood dog park every day to ensure he gets the enrichment he needs.

“Met Nicole for the first time today. She was punctual, very professional, kind and the dogs seem to immediately love her. I'm looking forward to having her back for more walks.”

About: I have a deep love for animals and extensive experience caring for pets, particularly cats, including my own beloved indoor cat. I understand the unique needs of pets, from maintaining routines to ensuring their comfort and well-being. What sets me apart is my genuine attention to detail and personalized approach. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, preferences, and quirks, providing care tailored to their specific needs. Additionally, I excel at creating a calm and safe environment, whether it’s managing high-energy moments or helping pets adjust to new surroundings. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a therapist who works from home, I have plenty of time and attention to dedicate to pets. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, whether it’s for feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. If your pet needs care in their own home, I can easily carve out time to visit and ensure they’re comfortable and well taken care of. Your furry friends will receive the attention and affection they deserve, with the added bonus of a calm and caring presence in their routine. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I create a secure, pet-friendly environment where they can feel comfortable, relaxed, and free to be themselves. I ensure that all areas are safe, clean, and free of hazards, and I closely monitor pets to ensure their well-being at all times. When caring for pets in your home, I make it a point to respect your space and follow any specific instructions you provide to maintain consistency in your pet’s routine. I’m attentive to their needs, ensuring they feel secure while you’re away. You can trust me to provide updates and communicate regularly so you’re always in the loop. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved and cared for in a safe and nurturing environment.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I have two dogs of my own and have experience dogsitting multiple dogs at once, including a 15-year-old dog with severe arthritis, so I understand the patience and gentle care senior dogs need. I’m extremely reliable, active, and will always make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible this summer! I occasionally babysit for family friends and work lacrosse tournaments some weekends, but I am free and available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and pet sitting throughout the week! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. In their home, I try to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions I receive from their owner. I make sure to give them lots of attention, exercise, and cuddles while also keeping the owners home clean and secure. My goal is to help all fur babies feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away!

About: I have always loved dogs, have two currently, and been around them my whole life. I’m patient and kind and love to make them happy. I currently work very part time as a nurse and will be able to schedule my work time around your pets. If staying in your home, I won’t work at the hospital during that time. I love to do whatever makes the client and pets happy. I can accommodate whatever you decide will make everyone happiest and healthiest. You let me know and I will do whatever it takes.

About: Student at the university of Notre Dame. Home for winter break! Looking for some extra cash. I’ve had dogs my whole life. I think I was 8 years old when my mom started letting me walk our family dog on my own. Once he passed, we got a puppy, maxie who became my dog. I was the one that took him out in the middle of the night when he was a puppy and took him on all his walks. In addition to my own dogs care, I have been trusted countless times by family, friends and neighbors to dog sit/walk and have had only positive feedback! Lastly, I grew up riding horses so have a lot of experiencing caring for even bigger animals! I’m currently home for the summer from college working an internship that is only 20-30 hours a week. I mostly work that job on Tuesday and Wednesday so I am available to pet sit at almost any time all other days. (I’m even available Tuesday/Wednesday mornings before 10 and evenings after 6PM) I hope to fit your dogs needs into my schedule! I am not afraid of a dog that may bark at me when I first meet them. I am happy to be patient and wait for your dog to warm up to me!

“Monats was super helpful and really came through for our pup during a schedule pinch! She took excellent care of Rosie and was very on top of making sure Rosie’s care requirements were met. And I really appreciated her experience and diligence in catching and thwarting my dogs attempts to eat sticks and mulch even though I had forgotten to warn in advance!”

“Shelley took very good care of our dog while we were away. She walked him daily remaining aware of the heat and making accommodations for what our pet could and could not handle. He was happy and not stressed when we returned. I would definitely recommend Shelley E. to others.”
