Dog Walking Skidmore

“Elena helped us walk our dog(Blue) when we were visiting Annapolis. She can be 100% trusted and dependable. We didn’t even get a chance to meet Elena. But she took care of the walk as if she has known Blue for years. Thanks again!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from small dogs to large breeds and playful puppies. I’m currently training our own puppy, so I have hands-on experience with patience, consistency, basic training, and keeping a young dog engaged. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I work three days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability on my days off, especially weekends. I enjoy spending time with pets and can dedicate time to walks, playtime, training, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to give each pet the attention they need rather than simply fitting them into a busy routine. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. We have a backyard (not fenced) and are close to great walking paths, a golf course, and a dog park, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, play, and exercise. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and adjust activities based on their age, energy level, and personality. Most importantly, they’ll get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while you’re away.

About: I have been around animals my entire life! Growing up my family had dogs, chickens, cats. Currently we have 2 beagles and a black cat named Izzy! My other family members began asking me to watch their animals when they went away on trips or to stop by the house if they were stuck at work. This branched to them recommending me to their friends and now here we are! I have been watching the furry loved ones of others for about 4-5 years now and have loved every second of it. I know how scary it can be to leave behind the animals that you consider your children so I am here to make that process a little easier! I’ve taken care of puppies, dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, and horses. All animals deserved to be spoiled and loved by all 💛 I am currently a therapist that works mostly afternoon/evening hours. My daytime availability ranges day to day but getting to create my own schedule allows for flexibility! Owners know their pets best! Any information provided to me about your furry friend will be implemented so that all parties feel safe and well cared for!

“Gus, my dog loves you he is alway well taken care. Communication is always great thank you so much for caring for Gus. and I feel comfortable”

“Owen is reliable, kind and trustworthy. He shows up, gives my dog a good walk regardless of the weather, and responds quickly. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a walker.”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Ryan, and I’m beyond excited to walk/hang with your pets! I take this job very seriously, as I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have experience walking/sitting for many different pets (of all sizes/breeds/and temperaments). Send me a message with any requests! I work part time and do freelance so I have a lot of availability to take care of your pet’s needs, whether that be some extra attention, playtime, walks, drop-ins etc. Just shoot me a message and I can more than likely make myself available for whatever your needs may be! I am very respectful when entering clients homes to take care of their pets. I myself have grown up with dogs and cats, and completely understand all boundaries pet parents may have - whether they’re allowed on the furniture, outside, crate-time etc. The rules and routine you've established with your pets is what's most important! Whether you have a shy cat that just needs to be fed, or a rambunctious dog that needs to get its energy out, I've got you covered!

About: My wife and I had a dog for 13 years and enjoyed taking her hiking and swimming throughout her active years and snuggling on the couch when she became a senior. I'm familiar with the whole life cycle of dog care. From helping puppies get all the wiggles out to carrying seniors whose legs are arthritic and no longer at their best. Now that our girl, Nala has passed away, we are enjoying connecting with others' pets. I have an unconventional schedule for work and am available to let your dog out from 9 am until noon on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. Wednesdays and Thursdays are my days off and I'm free to hang with your pup any time! I'm very committed to pet safety and will want to understand all situations in which your dog may become reactive so that we avoid putting your pet in a situation that will make him or her uncomfortable. I also have a tracker that I like to put on all dogs in my care just in case they get spooked or something unexpected happens while we are together.

“Lily was courteous, timely and wonderful to work with. Our Dog was not in a good place when she started working with us , moving anxiety. Lily was patient and flexed as needed to make it work!!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for many different breeds and personalities, including Saint Bernards, Great Danes, and Coonhounds, which gave me plenty of experience handling large and giant-breed dogs. I’ve also shared my home with multiple cats over the years—many of them seniors—so I understand the patience, routine, and gentle care older pets often need. I’ve spent years fostering animals as well, frequently working with senior pets and dogs that may be anxious or slow to trust new people. I pride myself on being patient and letting animals warm up to me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. My home currently includes an Alaskan Klee Kai and a Border Collie mix, so daily life already revolves around exercise, enrichment, and making sure dogs stay happy and engaged. When I travel, my trips are often pet-focused—I’ve driven cross-country multiple times with my dogs to explore new trails, parks, and adventures together. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I always aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure in their own home. As a larger and experienced handler, I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs on leash and adapting to different energy levels—whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers relaxed companionship and a calm presence. I’m also experienced in administering most medications and providing attentive care for senior pets who may need a little extra support. I have a very flexible work schedule, and can accommodate most dogs needs! I no longer offer overnight sitting, but can accommodate multiple drop ins and walks while you are gone, start long as early as 7 am and as late as 8-9 ish. Your dog’s comfort and routine are my top priorities. I provide focused attention, interactive play, and companionship tailored to your pup’s personality — from calm evenings at home to energetic walks or adventures at parks and trails. I’m experienced with all sizes and breeds, so whether your dog is a tiny pup or a gentle giant, they’ll receive care that’s attentive and consistent. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, happy, and fully engaged throughout their stay

About: As someone who loves to travel, I know the importance of having trusted and communicative pet care. I have had two cats for 12 years and was lucky enough to become a dog mom when my husband I met 4 years ago. I have experience with walking and caring for our friends pets as well. I have a hybrid work schedule, so my availability is flexible for you and your fur baby’s needs. I can do early mornings, lunchtime, evenings, and overnights. We have a fenced in backyard that our dog enjoys and a covered porch that our cats enjoy. We can accommodate any animal and separate all the animals if feeding time is an issue.

About: I've owned pets my whole life. My gentle composure and empathic nature make them feel loved and safe with me. I fostered a puppy from the Caribbean that nobody else wants to deal with. Within a month, she let me pet her and take her on walks. I train dogs with care and lots of pets! I am a freelancer and work from home. Dogs that stay at my house can go in and out and be protected by a fenced-in yard. I will ask about diet, routines, and special needs for your pets. I will come to your house for free for a meet and greet and see if we connect with your pet.

“Syler did a great job pet sitting my two large dogs and 3 cats. She accommodated a super last-minute schedule for the meet and greet and it was clear that my dogs immediately felt comfortable around her. She left thorough updates, arrived promptly when scheduled and was very communicative. I highly recommend her for pet sitting!!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and always make each pet’s safety and comfort my top priority. I understand that every pet has its own routine, so I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and any special requests exactly as provided. Pet care fits well into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight stays, I’m committed to making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I also make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owner is away. I treat every pet with patience and respect, paying close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether they enjoy active play, long walks, or simply relaxing with company, I adapt my care to help them feel happy and comfortable while their family is away.

“Jessica has been wonderful! I needed help on short notice for my energetic Staffy/Lab mix while I worked overnight shifts, and she exceeded my expectations. She was great with my dog from the very first meet and greet, and clearly has experience handling larger, high-energy dogs. She provided a full 30 minute walk, updates with photos, notes about the visit, and even tracked potty breaks and checked her water. Knowing my dog was getting exercise and attention in the middle of my 12 hour shift made a huge difference and greatly reduced my stress. Jessica has been reliable, professional, communicative, and caring. My dog absolutely loves her, and I feel completely comfortable having her care for my pet. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker!”

About: Besides my own dogs that I have taken care of since I was very young, I also have been relied on to take care of family and neighbor dogs. Most dogs that I have cared for have been geriatric, and I am extremely patient with them, and strong enough to even lift the larger dogs when they can’t lift themselves. Before coming to MD, I worked on a farm and interacted with dozens of dogs every day. I have never met a dog that hasn’t liked me, or one I haven’t liked. I work from home and so can easily step out for a drop-in or house sit and work from your home. I can do early morning or late evening according to need. I am unable to board your dogs. However, I am more than able to watch your dogs in your home. When in a client’s home, my philosophy is to only touch what is needed. The client’s direction and privacy is key to a good relationship, as well as my discretion.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. I grew up with dogs in my home and currently have two dogs of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust with them. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly love all fur babies and would be so excited to care for yours! 🐾❤️ I am currently a part time student at Anne Arundel community college. I also have a part time job. My weekends are available. Weekdays I have a lot of free time during the day between classes before I head to work at 2:30-5:30 (usual hours). Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. I will always make sure they are supervised, secure, and comfortable, whether we are out on a walk, during a drop-in visit, or staying overnight. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and anything else that helps them feel at home.

“Michael is a great dog walker! He responded to my last minute request and is very flexible. He has walked my dog twice and has been punctual and notified me when my poop bags were empty. I would definitely recommend!”
