“Was searching for a walker very last minute and I could not have been luckier to have been able to get Jake to care for my dog! I felt so secure and comfortable with him in his care and he was so responsive and kind, and I will surely be looking him up well in advance of my next trip so I have a good chance of being able to have him walk my little guy again! Thank you so very much, Jake!!!”
“Great communication!”
“Lisa goes above and beyond. I truly can't say how amazing she is. She jumped in at a moment's notice when I had a crisis situation and put my mind at ease about my dog so I could focus on getting everything else sorted. She is what you call "good people".”
“My pup enjoyed her check-in with Ashley, as evidenced by her contented napping when I got home. Ashley was prompt and followed instructions to ensure my trained dog was obedient. 🤓”
“Linda is so reliable and caring. She is so wonderful and patient with our at times very stubborn dog. I highly recommend Linda and will book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s pets all my life and am happy to take that experience and apply it as I care for your pets. I have a very flexible schedule, regarding time and days of the week. I am willing to work with each client individually and am happy to further discuss over a meet and greet. The safety of the pets I care for is of the utmost importance. Your trust (as well as theirs) and peace of mind are crucial for a well working relationship.
“Amy (and her beautiful family) did such a wonderful job with our fur babies while we were out of town. She kept us informed on their daily activities, fed them, walked them and sent us plenty of pictures. You can tell Amy genuinely cares. We would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and responsible dog walker.”
About: I am a stay at home mom to 2 girls, ages 4 and 5 and we recently moved to the area! My husband is in the Navy. We live in a townhouse in North Beach, MD. I have a cat that can be timid with new animals, and tends to hide until he feels more comfortable. I would love to help out with your furry family members! I hate when I have to be away from mine so I would give them tons of love so they feel comfortable and at home while you are away. I am available for all needs except for pet sitting in your home, since I have kiddos that need me at my home. Please let me know if I can help you out in any way! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. I am with my girls a lot this summer but they would LOVE to accompany me on visits with your pet! I will have a lot more independent time this fall once they start school. We do not have a fenced in yard but I would be happy to do as many walks as needed for your pup! Our cat can be weary with new animals but he hides and then warms up quickly.
“Absolutely hope to use Beth again for my doggos Gonzo and Charlie. Beth took both dogs on a 1 hour walk through the ACLT for me while I was out of town so that they got some good fresh air and burned some energy. She was super communicative with pictures and updates. Gonzo is reactive and so it can be a big challenge walking the two dogs at once, but she managed like a pro. I knew they were safe and having fun with her, which is all a dog mom could ask for. Thank you Beth!!!!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs for a long time taking them on walks, feeding them, checking their health, and including enrichment for them. I am cured working somewhere part time however if you let me know in advance I can change or edit my schedule depending on the week. I have a fenced yard in my home where I watch my dog carefully. When I take my dog on a walk I am very cautious of our surroundings including other dogs, people, cars, etc.
About: Since childhood, I've been trusted to look after other people's pets. I grew up with dogs of my own, as well as animals of all kinds, so I have a lot of experience with pets of all personalities and temperaments. I also worked with a vet for three years, have a biology degree with an emphasis on animal science, and have a special needs pet myself, so I'm confident giving medications, maintaining any recovery care, or whatever else your dog may need. I'd love to be friends with your pup! I am self-employed and currently work from home most of the week, so I have some flexibility when it comes to scheduling! I am available for drop-in visits or walks Monday-Friday. As all of my services will take place in the client's home, I will follow any instructions that the client gives me in regards to pet care. It is my goal that your pet's routine is as uninterrupted as possible.
About: I've been around animals all my life, and care for every single one that comes across my path. I have 4 animals so far that are living healthy and happy, and regularly babysit my neighbor's animals for weeks at a time. I wake up every day to my cat, and I want to extend that love to more animals who need that care when their owners are a little busy! It comes as a second nature to me, and I think about how my animals might be impacted by the actions I make, for example: I can never leave drinks on the counter anymore because my cat learned she likes coffee. Not anymore of course! I respect boundaries of animals and owners alike, whether that be physical such as a room not to enter or mental such as a certain word that an animal doesn't like to hear. If I am provided with rules I will follow them like a mantra.
About: I've helped raise puppies. I've had a dog of my own my whole life. Friends leave their pups with me while they go away, or when they need help potty or crate training. I cannot currently watch pets in my home but I can care for your pet in the comfort of your home. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate taking care of your pet(s) as needed around my own day to day responsibilities. I will take care of your pet as you regularly do. Are they crated while you're away? They'll be crated if I'm not there. Or do they only feel safe in certain rooms or need a "safety toy"? I'm make sure they have what they need to be as calm and happy as can be while you're away.
About: I trained young animals, and took care of them at my local animal shelter at home. I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life, and know exactly how to take care of their needs and wants. I love to walk and have fulfillment time! My range of pet care fluctuates in any age, from puppies to elderly. I can provide any medications or special requests for your loved pet! I’m currently a flight student at Embry-Riddle and on the women’s lacrosse team. Currently, I only fly in the mornings until 9:00. I’m free all day any day, and my schedule is super flexible! I know how to accommodate pet needs for each type of animal in need. I ensure they get proper exercise, nutrition, and fulfillment time to provide the best experience for them!
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, since I can remember. I have potty trained puppies and taught them tricks. I have experience with senior dogs and special needs as well. I also used to have a hamster, a rat, and hedgehog. Currently I own one dog and a saltwater fish tank. I have plenty of experience with cats as well. I’m pretty much a sucker for any animal. They all have my heart. I typically have plenty of time to care for your pet and I’m usually always available. I also have open availability on weekends and holidays as well. My schedule is flexible. I treat all animals as if they are my own. I will do what it takes to make sure that your pet is comfortable and enjoy their time that I care for them:)
“Faith was on time, communicated well, and our dog came home tired.”
“Lori is great with our dog and flexible. We appreciate you!”
About: Never met a dog that didn’t love me! I’ve owned dogs all my life until now. (Renting, and owner doesn’t allow 😕). Dogs of any size or temperament are fine. You can trust that I will be on time and treat them as if they were my own! I work nights so I’m available most of the day (8:30am-2:30pm on days I work and any time on my off days, usually Mon and Tues I realize all dogs are different, so any specific instructions for your pet will be followed to the T. You can rest assured that I will be patient and caring with your family member!
“Savanna does a wonderful job walking our dog. He is older and she is so patient with him. He truly adores her. Couldn't ask for a better walker.”
About: I have had pets, dogs and cats both, my whole life. I have cared for my own pets since I was 13 and I currently have two loving dogs that stay with me in my home. I love all animals. I hope to be able to help families that need pet care because it will allow the pets to get the most out of their day even when the owners can’t be home. If your pet is friendly and up to date on shots and you would like in home pet care, but your pet needs socialization with other pets, I could bring my dog(s) to play with your pet to help with their socialization. It would give all the pets some socialization. I do ask that all animals be up to date on shots with records available to ensure everyone’s safety. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or would like any further information!

“Kristi is such an animal lover. She absolutely treats them as one of her family! When our dog had hip surgery Kristi helped nurse her back to health by patiently walking her and encouraging the use of her leg. She set up a bed in the living room to make sure our dog was comfortable and had plenty of water near by. I know she will love on your pet just as she did ours, and as a bonus she will send you pictures of your pet as much as you want!”

Danielle E.
“We have 3 large to medium dog; 2 of them have behavioral issues; which take some special handling. One of our pups has fear aggression and Danielle is able to calmly approach him and gain his confidence with ease. Our newest addition is very active and can get himself wound out of control and Danielle sets limits for him and is consistent with her expectations of him, while creatively interacting with him to keep him focused during their time together. I have confidence in her ability to care for our pups needs.”
Leah G.

Whether it’s going on long walks, keeping pets engaged with playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away, Leah goes above and beyond. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pet and treat them like their own, you’ve found the right person.”

Jason C.
“I have a really temperamental poodle mix that doesn't like anyone, but Jason is able to hold him with ease; it's rather astounding to see. I witnessed the love and care he gave his Husky who lived to be 17, which tells a lot about his pet caregiver skills. Jason's calm demeanor makes him an excellent candidate for dog sitting, and I would leave my bossy poodlehead with him anytime.”
