Dog Walkers in The Downs, MD

“I selected Marley as a back-up to my regular walker. She has been professional, dependable, flexible, and fun for my puppy. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her much more in the future!”

About: I’ve had experience with small and medium size dogs for several years and also have two of my own at home so I understand how important it is to know they are well cared for. I promise to love and take care of them while their parents are away. I work hybrid so I have plenty of time to make sure your pets are cared for and walked every 2-4 hours and kept on their normal schedule. I will take good care of them and also protect your home and keep it clean. Pets will feel comfortable and safe in their home environment.

About: I've recently graduated college and now have a lot of free time on my hands. I love animals so much(perhaps more than people...). I have experience in taking care of dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Growing up I've had a puggle, boxer, and now two german shepherd mixes who were adopted from shelters. I've volunteered at animal shelters where I walked, cleaned, brushed, and fed dogs. Furthermore, I've pet sat for neighbors and family members. My dogs live with my parents in Cascade, so I don't live with dogs nor other humans at my house in Annapolis. I would love to take care of your pets! I will be starting a program that runs from M-F 9-3:30 soon, but am available after 3:30 M-F and all day on Saturdays/Sundays. I could walk, feed, or let out your pets before 9 as well. The M-F schedule will change come the end of July which would give me more availability on those days. When I'm at my parent's house, I let my dogs out in the mornings, feed them breakfast and dinner, give them medicine, go on walks/hikes, practice tricks and obedience tasks with them, and play with them. I'm more than happy to provide these services in my client's home too!

About: I’ve grown up with pets ranging from beta fish, dogs, guinea pigs and gerbils! I’ve watched my friend’s pets over the years as well. My cat who unfortunately passed had kidney issues so I have experience in dealing with that. I’m also a volunteer with the SPCA! I’m currently working a full time job, but work locally and have a hybrid schedule so I can be fairly flexible in the evenings and weekends! I could also be available around lunchtime during the week. My cat who unfortunately has now passed pretty much owned the second bedroom and bathroom in my home. I always made sure she is comfy, happy and had lots of boxes and her favorite string (she refused to use an actual cat bed but LOVES boxes!) I will make sure your pet is always well cared for, loved (if they desire) and catered to whatever they need (even if it’s a box)!

“Kacie is a lifesaver! My dogs are notoriously high-energy and can be a handful, but they absolutely adored her. She was patient, understanding, and knew just how to handle their quirks. I came home to happy, well-exercised pups, and I could tell they had a blast with Kacie. I'm so grateful for her reliable and professional service. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker who can handle even the most challenging furry friends!”

“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! I’m Courtney — a true dog lover, experienced pet caregiver, and someone who treats every pet like family. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, couch snuggles, or just a calm and reassuring presence, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. For house sitting, my standard rate includes typical care such as feeding, walks/potty breaks, companionship, overnight care, and lots of love. If your pet requires additional support — including senior care, medication administration, frequent potty breaks (every few hours), mobility assistance, separation anxiety management, or near-constant supervision — please let me know before booking, as these higher-needs situations may require custom pricing to ensure I can provide the level of care your pet deserves. Please be as detailed as possible about your pet’s routine, behaviors, and care needs so I can make sure we’re the right fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!

About: I have had 10 years of personal experience with dogs of varying sizes and cats as well. I have a golden retriever myself as well as a burmese cat back at home in Virginia! I have no allergies to dogs or cats. I am comfortable with picking up after animals if need be;) as well as taking care of more than one animal at once. I have reliable transportation to and from location. Will leave notes if anything happens, and will send lots of pictures if wanted! You can trust me to love and care about your furry friends! I always have my phone on me if any concerns or needs may come up or change. I live in an apartment with a huge courtyard that is fenced in where your pets can run and play! Thank you!

About: I have retail and construction and fast food experience and I love pets I love dogs they are so cute and would love to meet new pets Currently unemployed so I have plenty of free time to babysit pets dogs or other kinds of pets like fish, or cats or hamsters . I’m OK with either coming to your house or watching them at my house whatever works with you works with me as long as we’re on the same page

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was young. I’m very caring and have a soft spot for animals. Excited to be apart of your pets care! I only work 3 days a week so have lots of time to spend with your pet. I’m very outgoing and love to care animals My own pets are very well kept, I take them to the vet on time and always keep them clean/my home clean. In others homes I make sure I am there and punctual and give your pet all the attention they need

About: I love dogs and have nothing else to do and your dog will be my entire focus. I have had 3 dogs since I was a kid and have baby sat them and my sister’s dog. I am around the whole summer and would love to watch your dogs. I have also helped train my dogs and gone to training for them as well. I have watched my 2 digs for over a week on my own and my sisters for a week as well I will shape my day around your dog and any dogs I am sitting or watching that day. I have nothing this summer. The only activity I do regularly is lift. If your dog needs a morning walk I will lift later same goes for afternoon walks If you have a fenced yard I will play with your dog after the walk and make sure they get lots of treats and attention

About: I’ve grown up with huskies and they are very high energy and active! I have experience with puppies as my sister adopted a chocolate lab puppy and I was over almost every week, including several different times where I watched him for a week on my own over the last year. I have also taken care of other small and large dogs and used to volunteer at Lucky Dog in D.C. where I walk ownerless dogs for free. My neighbor has relied on me to take care of her two cats for several different week-long occasions. I love playing with animals and will provide the best care because I know that our pets are our family. I work from home so I am able to watch pets during the day. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I am very flexible. I am able to let your pets out at any time of the day! I used to have a husky of my own so I know how important our “fur-babies” are to us. You can trust that I will give them the best belly rubs, treats, and take them on nice long walks. If you choose me as your pet caretaker you can guarantee your pet will get all the love and care they deserve!

“Alyssa is fantastic! She’s professional, extremely reliable, and flexible. She’s saved us more than a few times. She’s also very good with our large dog.”
