Dog Walkers in Upper Marlboro, MD

About: Hello! My name is Iyana, and I’m a graduate student at Bowie State University. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up around pets of all kinds. My family taught me how to properly care for animals and read their body language, which has helped me build calm, trusting relationships with them. I began pet sitting in high school while extended family traveled for vacations and work, and I’ve continued ever since. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds, and I’m comfortable with dog walking, daily visits, potty breaks, feeding, medication routines, litter care, and maintaining schedules. I also offer overnights, extended stays, and around-the-clock care when needed. I’m attentive, reliable, and truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to connecting with you and caring for your pet while you’re away! Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine. I’m flexible, dependable, and organized, with strong time-management skills, so I’m able to consistently meet pets’ feeding, walking, medication, and check-in schedules. I provide attentive, structured care in both my home and clients’ homes by following each pet’s routine closely. I ensure timely feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and a clean, safe environment while giving pets consistent attention and comfort.

“Shannon is reliable, genuine, kind and provides great customer service. My dog absolutely adores her! I’m so glad she is a part of our dog village. 😊”

About: I have grown up caring for pets my whole life. I had several cats as well as dogs as a child and I learned from a young age to both respect and engage these animals as part of our family in a gentle and loving manner. I believe that taking the time to allow an animal get to know you and accept your energy and presence is most important for quality care. Taking the time to do this allows me to get to know each animal and get a sense of their personality and needs. I have quick reflexes and I am a very active person, so not only will I keep your pet safe, but I will also ensure that they are well-exercised and happy during their outing.

“Alexandria took great care of my dog Yoncé while I was out of the country. She provided consistent updates and pics, and my dog enjoyed her walks witu her very much. I would definitely book again”

About: I’m fairly new to pet care, but after spending 4 year as a care giver, I want to give my second passion a chance which is taking care of dogs and cats. Currently I’m working part-time, but I’m also looking to go full time in the near future. With that being said, I have a lot of time on my hands and fully committed to give your pups and cats unconditional love when needed! House Sitting I’m Available only on weekends. Drop-Ins and Walks I’m available from 2PM to 10PM on weekdays and weekends depending on my schedule! While for boarding I’m currently unable to I will always no matter what have a good ear and eye out for any animal at all times. For walks a leash will be on at all times. For both drop-ins and walks, I will always make sure that any animal is healthy and happy before doing any tasks in doors or outdoors.

“Andre is an amazing handler. He is patient, understanding and diligent with his connection. He’s always professional, very reliable and timely . Having Corsos I was concerned with his ability to win my fur babies over. Andre is a blessing!”

About: Reliable and attentive pet sitter with proven experience providing comfort and care to both dogs and cats. I have been the proud fur mama to my own puff balls: Ghost, a male Cane Corso (May 2020 – April 2025, crossed the rainbow bridge), and Gumbo, a male domestic shorthair tabby cat, currently 7 months old (adopted at 2 months). I have the patience and adaptability to care for all temperaments, including shy, stubborn, anxious, skittish, high-energy, and aggressive pets. My priority is to tailor my care style to meet your pet's needs, ensuring the most enjoyable stay possible and putting both you and your pet at ease. I am willing to facilitate any training or routines you want to maintain for your pet while you’re away, administer medicine, and provide light grooming (hair detangling/combing, baths, teeth brushing, etc.) for an added fee. My cat is free-roaming and very friendly, but I can provide isolated areas for your cat(s) and mine if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies, whether they stay with me or I drop in for some fun fur auntie time! Pet care is a normal part of the routine, recent long time dog owner (5 years, passed rainbow bridge 04/2025). I work from home 2 days a week and typically home on weekends. Was owner to an adult mastiff/cane corso and so, regular walks, attention, and play are a part of my daily and weekly routine. I have stubborn pup who scales the spectrum between very obedient to going full on sas and temper tantrum, so I am comfortable with all types of temperaments of dogs. If you allow joint play, I will allow it supervised by myself, or if your pup prefers 1:1 time - I will divide crate and play time between my dog and yours separately. Large dogs - will alternate with my dog having one be crated at night and throughout the day outside of scheduled play time, walks, and potty breaks to allow less frustration across both for freedom.and saftey, but I can accommodate dogs who are not crate trained and crate my pup if needed - his crate is like his tiny house - he enjoys it. Small dogs, unless otherwise requested, will take priority for free reign throughout the day/uncrated. I live in a quiet neighborhood, much traffic, and it has quiet short walking trails with trees; I have a small fenced back yard as well for roaming. I do not board rottweilers, huskies, malamutes, or male pit bulls due to my dog's disposition of them, but can do check-ins and 1:1 dog walks with these breeds.

About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active. With a love for all breeds and a commitment to personalized care, I offer dog walking services that go beyond just a quick stroll. Whether it’s a lively adventure or a calm, scenic walk, I treat your furry friend like my own—ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.

“Jessica is great with our very energetic 6mth old large puppy. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking that turned into a perfect walk for Brix. I am sure we will call on Jessica for additional walks as well as overnight visits.”

About: Hello there! My name is Romon, you can also call me Griz. I suppose my friends see me as the momma or papa bear of the group haha. Anyway I've been taking care of my friend's, family's, and of course personal 'furry best friends'. I have a background in personal training and fitness. Never really ran into a dog that didn't like or respect me at least after the first couple treats or games I was able to play with them. Recently lost two friends one moved away the other, Sasha; a poodle mix of 12 years, passed away I was luckily able to spend more time with her during 2020 before she had to go. Her memories are still with me and I know many are back to work and wish they could spend more time with their newest pups. We can work together to make sure they're, well taken care of, and I just wanted to help out and lessen the load of watching over these wonderful epitomes of joy and energy. I've walked, sitted, played with, slept besides, and even cleaned up after all sorts of dogs from puppyhood to very senior dogs, 10lbs to 100+lbs believe it or not, can't seem to get a break from them, which I don't mind! Lastly I hope to get to know your fuzzy yet amazing family members on a professional and even better, personal level. Feel free to message for any questions I pay very close attention to any special instructions. I've recently found great streams of income im able to maintain at home while working on my online degree Fortunately my major for the 3rd semester in a row is online only. My schedule is pretty open and flexible so I wanted to make the most of my situation and again the main thing is to help out new or out of practice pet owners. Im free at all hours of day and night outside of a select few evenings where I train clients to achieve their fitness goals. Mostly online so feel free to reach out and schedule with me if youd like recurring services. We'll make it work. Im a capable and loving pet owner that doesn't mind breaking a sweat. I would love to keep your fur baby busy AND happy whether its a small walk with portable water bowls, at home self made doggy puzzles to keep their minds sharp and busy, even if I am tired, for those longer sessions. I have access and experience to great doggy parks equipped with fencing and great walking areas, and lots of car space for those longer trips or incase of an emergency where I have to safely transfer your fluffy children quickly. I have a lot of experience to share and rely on too much to list here but go ahead and quiz me at Fanaticallymotivated email on google for those of you new or unsure of my services with the Rover service provider. I hope to work with you both and take care of any worries.

About: I have worked at a Fear Free and AAHA certified veterinary clinic as an veterinary assistant, am experienced with handling rescues and animals with special medical needs, and am experienced in caring for many different types of pets from cats and dogs to birds, reptiles, farm animals, and more. I work from home and since I currently do not have pets, I have flexibility and time to care for your pets like my own! Working in veterinary medicine for 5 years, I am experienced in providing advanced care for your pet and am extremely comfortable administering different kinds of medications.

About: I’ve been around dogs for over 10 years and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve had my mini schnauzer, Kooper, for about 7 years, and through him I’ve gained daily experience with walking, playtime, care, and understanding dogs’ different personalities and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, including my cousin’s Cane Corso. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy building trust and connections with every dog I meet. Since my whole family are dog lovers, being around and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine because I care for my dog, Kooper, every day. I make sure he’s walked, fed, bathed, played with, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Since caring for dogs is something I already do daily, I’m very comfortable keeping up with routines, giving pets lots of love and interaction, and making sure they feel happy and cared for. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their home environment. I closely follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, routines, and care needs. During walks, I keep dogs safely leashed and pay attention to their surroundings at all times. I also make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, patience, and companionship while in my care.

“I couldn't ask for a better person to walk my pup Ollie. This was our first time trying out Rover so we didn't know what to expect and Erick gave us comfort the first day we've met him. 10/10, very patient and communicates quick when we have a question about anything relating to Ollie.”
