Dog Walkers in Upperco, MD

About: I love all kinds of pets from the furry ones to the scaly ones. I’ve worked with animals for at least 20 years. During high school, I volunteered at veterinary Clinics and took veterinarian classes. I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for puppies. There was a time when we had a surprise puppy litter, and I was responsible for our nine puppies and our three dogs. I may not have any special skills such as being a certified dog trainer, but I have extensive experience of caring for animals. I know the stress you feel when you have to leave your furry friends behind when you go to work or take a vacation, and I'm here to help. I love all animals, and I’m available to assist you. I'm available daily to do drop-in visits/walks to allow your fur babies to stretch their legs and a much needed potty break. We all know we need our daily stretch! I offer drop-in visits, house sitting and dog walking/running. I'm trying to add more cardio to my daily routine and would love for your fur baby to be apart of it!

About: I provide excellent service for your furbabies, by treating them as my own. Whether they like to go on walks or are active with toys. I make sure that your pets are safe at all times. I have experience staying with multiple pets on a nightly basis to several weeks. I have watched from 1-7 pets on certain occasions. I also have experience with stopping by and taking care of pets such as letting them outside, feeding, playing, and, making sure they're happy. I have experience with staying at my client's home and keeping up with their place including collecting mail, watering plants, light cleaning, and, laundry. I can also take care of cats, fish, lizards, chickens, rabbits, small pets, goats, and birds. The prices for additional pets can be negotiated at the meet and greet. I currently have open availability all week. I may go out while you are gone but it would only be for a couple of hours. Your pets are my main focus while you are away. At this time I can only watch your first babies at their own home. If you’re interested in walks then I can use your leads or I can provide my own lead and harness to walk them while I’m there.

About: I’ve been pet/home sitting for 7 years with different families all over Maryland. My goal is to give clients ease and know their pets/home is in good hands! 😊 Since I work in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are free to walk, play, or just keep your fur baby company while you’re away. And with house sitting, I’ll make sure your plants watered, etc. What started out as something I did to help our family and friends has grown to something I thoroughly love to do! While I do not have any pets of my own, I know there is great l responsibility when taking care of animals . My promise is to keep your pets in the safe environments you’ve provided/created for them.

About: I have always loved dogs, I have watched my sister pitbull and I have 4 golden retrievers at home so i have a wide experience with different dogs breeds. I am a college student, but I try my best to make sure I update my availability. Feel free to message me if you even need someone for over the weekend!! (Thanksgiving break Nov 21-30) (Winter break dec 19- Jan 24) Since I have my own dogs, I don’t feel comfortable caring for pets in my home, but I am comfortable with caring for pets in my clients home

“Very responsive, punctual, great with our dog Jett (even when he is sometimes stubborn and won’t go back into his crate), sends great photos, and is very patient. Will definitely request her services again”

“I needed a dog walker last minute & thank God Michael was available. He made sure my dog used the bathroom multiple times, sent a picture & returned him back, no problems. Will absolutely book again!”

“Katelyn was the best! She was super responsive and sooo goood with my dog Adam. He is really scared of new people, but she made him feel so safe and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!”

Ali B.

“Would definitely recommend and choose Cheryl again! She walked and played with our high energy, 1 year old border heeler while we were away. We were at ease knowing he was with someone who could handle all of his wildness. Thanks again!”

About: Hello! I am Camryn F., I am currently a veterinary assistant at Old Farm Veterinary Hospital in Frederick and am in veterinary technician school. I have always loved being around any animal/caring for them! I can commute and I am easy to get ahold of! I am so excited to be helping those in need of a responsible and reliable caretaker. I do have pets in my home, but they are loving and open to meeting new animals as long as the feeling is mutual between the animals as far as drop offs. Although I may only have 4 years of professional experience I have years of personal experience as I have owned various animals throughout my life time! I look forward to getting to know you and your animal and helping you in any way possible! Thank you I do work full time, and a couple days a week I do have long hours. I have every other weekend off as well as Thursdays. Saturday I have a half day and every Sunday is guaranteed off. I also have major Holidays off. I have many pets of my own at home and often find myself feeding them and caring for them before myself most days! Some may call that crazy, but it’s just the way I roll! I love all animals big and small :)

“We LOVE Apryll! Our dog already recognizes her name and gets excited when we say she is coming over! She communicates and sends us pictures! 100% recommend!”

About: Peyton has spent the last 2 years working at a very popular pet resort. He is hoping to one day enter the veterinary career field. He has owned, cared for, and trained dogs since childhood. He trained his first dog at 7 years old, and entered his first dog into an agility competition at 9. He has also owned and cared for several cats and other small animals over the course of his life. Between professional and personal care, Peyton has worked with a wide variety of animals. Old, young, big, small, healthy, ill, playful, mild; Peyton will have no trouble adjusting to the needs of your animal. I am currently looking to work as a pet sitter as a source of income as I train to be a veterinary technician- although this dream is a few years down the line. I have very flexible and open availability during the day for walks or drop-in care. I put the safety of the pets I care for above all else, but I also take great care to ensure that we both have a great time together. I strive to have clear and quick communication before, during, and after visits and I place great importance on gathering as much information about your pet as I can before and during a meet-and-greet. I understand that every animal is unique and I am confident in my ability to adapt to the needs of your pet.

“You have been a blessing to me and Dhalia Thank you for everything!”

About: Simply put, I truly LOVE animals. I have always enjoyed spending time with, and playing with pets of all kinds. I will put your pets' needs above my own. I'm currently working full time, but I am usually home when not at work. I live 5 minutes away from my job, so I will always be available for your fur babies even while working if I need to be. I care for pets the same way I would care for a baby. Their needs are always more important than mine, and I will always make time for them. They also get plenty of attention and play time! Please note: I will have to crate them while at work. This is the ONLY time they will be crated. I will also be home around 1:30 for lunch to take your pet out for a potty break.

“Julian has been working with my dog Kiley for about 3 months now and it has been great. He is super fast with his responses to booking requests and any other messages that I may send him.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was 6, and I can’t imagine life without them! I grew up with small dogs and now share my home with three wonderful cats, including a sweet senior. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for not just cats and dogs, but also mice, rabbits, snakes, and even a duck with no legs named Peggy. I also have a soft spot for big dogs who think they’re lap dogs (the best kind!). Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just keeping pets comfy and happy, I love making every furry, feathered, or scaly friend feel at home. I work from home, which means my schedule is super flexible and pet-friendly! I’m usually available anytime after 10 a.m., and I love fitting in walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, your pets will get plenty of love and attention without feeling lonely. Your pet’s safety and well-being always come first with me. When I’m caring for them in your home, I create a secure, calm, and dependable environment. I pay close attention to routines, follow instructions carefully, and keep a watchful eye so nothing is overlooked. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.

About: Animals are one of the best things in life, in my opinion anyways. I have grown up with dogs, usually always having more than one at a time. Animals are my sunshine and being able to work with animals every day is the best gift. I have dog-sat and dog-walked consistently since I was 12 years old. Every job I've ever had has been related to animals or has had me working with animals, and I wouldn't ever do anything different. I'm a foster mama for both a dog and a cat rescue, so I have had experience with all types of dog breeds, ages, temperaments, health issues, and behavior problems. I have 4+ years in the animal retail industry, so I am knowledgeable not only dogs & cats, but reptiles, small animals, exotics & fish as well! I have no problems giving medication, if needed and I know basic animal first-aid. I am responsible, punctual and excited to meet my new fur-friends! I know you are looking for the absolute best care for your dog while you're not around, and my promise to you is that I will always treat and love your dog like it's my own! I'm a full time pet sitter since graduating from college this past May. I love every minute of it and I personally believe that I have the best job in the entire world. I strive to make your lives easier as pet parents by taking the absolute best care of your pets while you are away from home. Whether its drop ins or walks, I always make sure pets are safe, happy and healthy while I'm with them.

About: I own 4 dogs, 3 cats and 2 rabbits! My cats are 10+ years old, dogs are ages 1-3 years old and my rabbits are 1.5 years old! I’ve given baths to each of my dogs, and love taking them for walks around the neighborhood. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for a year where I learned about dog body language and behavior. I’ve given dog daycare baths as well and administered medications when requested by pet parents! Pets are family and I would love to get to know and care for your four legged family members! I am currently available 6 days a week (Monday-Saturday) between the hours of 7am-3pm for dog walking and in home pet sitting/care ONLY (rain or shine)! I offer dog walking and in (client) home pet care! I do not do boarding for the safety of my dogs and cats. I am knowledgeable and observant in dog’s body language so I can understand their behavior or their actions. I can text and call clients for updates or any concerns regarding your dogs safety or health!

“Our pup was incredibly timid despite a first like (normal for our pup) but Nina was so incredibly patient and worked with her to bring her out of her shell and make her comfortable. If you are looking for someone that knows a dogs body language and has the patience to earn their trust, I recommend!”
