Dog Walkers in Sparks, MD

About: I've been taking care of animals ranging from large dogs, kittens and cats, hamsters, and even goats my entire life, whether its feeding, walking, or even just hanging out with. I'm happy to work with young animals all the way up to seniors and provide any unique care they may need! I am the biggest animal lover and can make sure your pet will feel loved and cared for. I am currently home on summer break and have lots of availability. I occasionally will be away for a long weekend at the beach, but I am available otherwise for quick check ins, overnight stays, or whatever is needed. I have plenty of cat toys, bowls, beds, and space for your pets to make themself comfortable in. I would typically prefer to come to your home for dogs but will be able to accommodate if that is not possible for you!

“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”

About: Hi, I'm Chayla! I'm a nursing student pursuing my BSN, and I absolutely love working with pets. In addition to my hospital experience, I've been caring for and walking dogs for several years. I’m more than happy to help with all your pet's needs, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or simply keeping them company while you're away. I'm also open to taking on other pet-related tasks that you may need assistance with! Feel free to reach out to me on Rover I’d love to take care of your furry friends! :)) I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to work around yours. Please feel free to reach out with your specific times and dates, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. Whether it’s a one-time visit, daily walks, or overnight stays. For overnight booking in my clients homes I believe communication is key, I understand every pet is unique, and so are their owners! I’m happy to customize my communication based on your preferences, whether you prefer daily updates with photos, a quick text to check in. I respect all clients’ homes, I’m mindful of the client's space. I respect their property, use their supplies as intended, and keep the home secure. I also make sure that everything remains just as it was when I arrived. I keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being and take extra care to follow any special instructions or medical needs they might have. You can rest assured knowing that your pet will be treated with the all care and attention.

About: As a mom to a 6-year-old Golden Retriever, I know from experience how much attention and care impact an animal’s life, their behavior, health, and even their mood. ​ I walk my dog twice a day because I know how much energy a Golden Retriever has and how important these walks are for their physical and mental health. ​ I’m a very active person, so I love spending energy with dogs on walks and playtime. ​ I love all animals, but dogs are my favorites because of their intelligence and genuine affection. ​ You can rest assured that your pet will be very well cared for with me, and we will definitely burn plenty of energy on our walks together Most days I’m available after 9 a.m., once I drop my husband at the office, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, or longer stays. At the moment, I live in an apartment, so the safest and most comfortable option for your pet is for me to provide drop-in visits and walks, rather than full-time boarding in my home. ​ During visits, I follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide, always making sure doors and windows are secure and your home is respected

“Brian was great! Super punctual and a true dog lover who was more than willing and able to handle some extra accommodations for our senior dog. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again!”

About: I am a local Hereford Zone mom available to help walk, check-in on, or watch your pet. I will give them the attention, love, and patience. I do not train animals but will be consistent with whatever training you want me to uphold. I am flexible and happy to help in anyway I can. I work from home and my schedule is flexible to pop in and out and check in on your pets whenever you need me to. I am a responsible adult that will respect your space and home when I come to look after your pets. If needed, I have a fenced in yard than you pet is welcome to use if needed.

“Curtis is a delightful young man. He is a loving and energetic dog walker and enjoys greeting and interacting with the cats when he comes by. Bonus: he’s a lovely conversationalist. I highly recommend Curtis.”

“Rachel has a great way with dogs,clearly. She has started walking my new lab / Jindo (Holly) from Korea (only 6 weeks in the US). The prior petsitter i used did not have success leashing her. Rachel on the other hand, seems to have an intuitive way with dogs, & Holly seems to be accepting her. Highly recommended:) Maureen”

About: Hello, I’m Sabrina! I have always been involved in animal care spaces. I volunteered as a behavior volunteer for several years at Friends For Life Animal Shelter, where I learned about canine and feline behavior. I am certified in canine and feline CPR and first aid through PetTech! Your furry friend is always safe with me! Last summer, I worked as a canine care attendant at The Barking Muse where I walked dogs, monitored day care, facilitated activities and basic training, and cared for our boarders! I’d love to continue my pet care journey with you! Currently, I’m a college student home for the summer, so my schedule is wide open! I’d love to fill my time by providing quality pet care! I always meet the pet where they’re are at. I will never force a pet to anything it doesn’t want to and believe in understanding their behavior and boundaries. Through this method I’ve successfully addressed anxiety in both cats and dogs and formed meaningful connections!

“Jasmine has been great and so patient with my dog. He gets very nervous with the strangers at first but she did really well with him. I would highly recommend her!”

“Abigail was very responsive and very communicative when taking care of Jett. She asked plenty of great questions to make sure Jett was getting the best care possible. She also Toone great photos to show he was having a great time. Jett was a bit stubborn getting back inside (probably because he was having so much fun with Abigail), but when we got home he was in a fabulous mood. Will definitely ask her to watch our little guy in the future.”

About: Being a part of the pet community myself, I understand what kind of care you want your fluffy friend to have. I have experience caring for small, medium and large dogs, having an English Shepherd myself, along with being able to care over cats! Family, friends, and neighbors have asked me to care for their furry friends by either staying with them when they went on vacations, or even just stopping by for a quick trip around the block! Whatever your pet needs I am pretty willingly to do. My summers are free which allow me to put all my energy into caring for your animal. Having my own animal at home, I understand the need to frequently check in even when I have errands to run. I would treat your pet like he/she was my own! My dog at home was crate trained, but we now have allowed him to wonder the house a little more. That being said, I can easily get a dog into a crate or whatever suits the animals needs. I also have a friendly indoor/outdoor cat who comes and go as he pleases. Along with him we have a strictly indoor cat, so I am very good at paying attention of the flow of traffic within the house.

“Victoria has a beautiful smile and was very friendly meeting Mia and me . I am very pleased that I met her. Looking forward for the next time.”

“Sadie is very kind and paid close attention to all information I gave her, including training I'm currently working on with my pup, and continued to follow that training on their walks. Sadie sent lots of pictures and I could tell that my pup obviously had a great time. I would gladly have Sadie take care of my pup in the future and would recommend her to others.”

About: For years, I’ve cared for the dogs of family and friends, providing them with plenty of love, playtime, and attention—whether at their homes or now in my own apartment. I treat every dog like my own and make it my priority to ensure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. I work as a Speech-Language Pathologist in the schools (8–4), and my boyfriend is a Physical Therapist (11–7). Between our schedules, the longest a dog would be alone is about five hours (11–4). We make sure every pup gets plenty of attention, walks, and love before and after work—and we’re always flexible to meet your dog’s needs! In our home, your dog will have free range of the apartment unless they prefer the comfort of their crate. I make sure every pup gets plenty of walks, attention, and love around our work schedules. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I will make multiple visits throughout the day—whatever works best for your dog’s routine.
