Dog Walkers in Wilderness, MD

“I booked Jordan for walks with my senior dog! Jordan is highly organized and comes with great experience. She followed all specific requests and care instructions I had communicated. She took many pictures that showed my dog having a lot of fun and gave detailed write-ups after each walk. Side note: my cat was absolutely obsessed with her LOL. I highly recommend booking Jordan to meet your pets' needs!”

“We had a last minute trip and Victoria saved the day. She took great care of our dog Poe who has separation anxiety. She made sure he felt comfortable and safe. She also sent plenty of pictures and reported back on how he was acting on his walks which made us feel more comfortable as well. I’d definitely use her again.”

“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”

About: I am a loving and experienced animal advocate. I graduated in 2016 with a degree in Exercise Science, and in 2021 with a Masters degree in Public Health. Between age 9-18, I was an active member in my local 4-H club, but my pet experience began long before then beginning with my very first pet; a Grey shorthair named Smokey! I have owned 5 dogs, 4 cats, and 3 horses since age 7. Currently, I have a thoroughbred horse named Ray, a husky mix and two cats. I even had a hedgehog at one time! I have extensive experience with many animals of all shapes and sizes. The first thing that attracts me to a person while out and about is their dog! I am flexible and have super reliable transportation (my own vehicle). I love all animals and I treat them as my own. Feel free to ask any questions or inquire about future care of your furry friends! Prior to beginning my current job, I had been exclusively working with animals, management and care, including two farms with horses, goats, cats, chickens, and dogs. I currently work a very flexible schedule, where I work from home 3/5 days a week. My weekends are generally free when I am not traveling for one of my other side hustles! The remainder of my time is open for me to enjoy my own pets and be a resource for other owners who need their furry friends taken care of. I do not offer in home boarding out of enhanced safety precautions with my own dog. I limit how many bookings I have at once so I can dedicate time to getting to know your pets and spending adequate time with them. I will never bring another animal with me for a drop in/walk visit. I am also very experienced in wound/injury care.

About: Just like many people, I've been surrounded by animals my whole life! I currently share my home with two cats, but l'm just as comfortable and experienced spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from chihuahuas to Great Danes! l've cared for many family and friends pets over the years, including Yorkies, Great Danes, Short Haired Pointers, and especially my sister's Frenchie who is my best bud! I also have worked at a dog kennel where I gained a lot of hands-on experience with all kinds of pups! I learned other essential skills like giving medication when needed, adjusting to play styles and behaviors of dogs, and just overall learned how to handle the many different personalities that come with dogs! When I'm not busy with work or my other hobbies, I like to volunteer at the local animal shelter! Whether it's playtime or just giving the pets some extra love and attention, it’s something I always enjoy and love! I take pride in my pet care where I can promise your pets will be cared for like they're my own! When in my care they will experience plenty of love, play, and of course cuddles! When it comes to pet care, it fits naturally into my daily routine! I work remotely from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule where I can take breaks for walks, playtime, or for bathroom breaks! If your pup needs many potty breaks, a walk in the middle of the day, or just some extra attention, I can easily fit it into my routine! When caring for your pets in your home, I always make sure to treat them (and your space!) with the same respect and love that I’d give my own. Whatever your pets routine is, is something I would make sure I stick to so they can feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I would be sure to handle the little things that keep them healthy, such as giving them water and food, giving them medication if needed, cleaning up after them, and taking them for exercise! Most importantly, I would also give them love and attention so they don’t feel lonely and would send updates with pictures so you can feel at ease while you’re gone!

“Jessica was very organized and extremely reliable. She went over everything (and more) that we needed to touch on at our meet and greet. As walks went on, she was very communicative, and worked with me to come up with creative ideas on how to manage my dog’s significant fears. He was an abused rescue, so he is shy and gets easily scared of noises and people. I will definitely be having her walk again!”

“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”

About: I personally have my own reactive shelter dog but we all work to get better 🐕 I miss working with animals everyday and would love your meet your pup/s I currently work part-time as a receptionist while attending school.

I previously worked as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician and am certified in dog handling, including identifying medical discharge, behavior, social cues, and signs of aggression.

“Tia is so thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves our dogs. She sends the best messages and pics, and goes above and beyond the basics (like scooping poop from our own yard and bagging it). My only complaint is that I wish Rover would allow us to give more than a 30% tip!”

“Chrishauna was patient and gentle with our pup, giving him a nice long walk that he thoroughly enjoyed! Communications were excellent as well!”

“You can tell Alexis is an animal lover watching her interact with your pets. My dog absolutely ADORES Alexis! She is very punctual, attentive, and extremely kind. I am very picky about who I trust with my pup (she has an autoimmune disorder that can come on out of nowhere) and I feel very comfortable having her look after my dog knowing she’s in good hands.”

About: With 15 years of experience, animals aren’t just my job, they’re my world. I bring genuine love and dedication to every pet in my care, whether they’re a playful pup, a curious kitten, or a wise senior companion. Beyond standard sitting services, I offer full grooming care including bathing, brushing, nail trims, teeth cleaning, and ear cleaning, so your pet comes home not just happy, but fresh and well-tended. Having these skills in-house means less stress for your pet and more convenience for you. Cats and dogs both hold a special place in my heart, and after 15 years, I’ve learned how to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is woven into every part of my day. My mornings start with feeding, walks, and making sure every animal in my care gets one on one attention before anything else. Throughout the day I check in on their needs, whether that is playtime, grooming, or just some quiet companionship. Evenings are for winding down together, because pets thrive on consistency and I make sure they always feel settled and secure. This is not something I squeeze into my schedule. It is my schedule. Animals are my priority seven days a week, and that kind of commitment is something every pet owner deserves to know their sitter has. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is always the same, to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I tailor my care to each animal’s personality and routine, because no two pets are alike. When caring for pets in my home, they become part of my daily life. They sleep comfortably, play freely, and receive constant attention throughout the day and night. I keep things calm and nurturing so even nervous or anxious pets can relax and settle in. When visiting clients in their own homes, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Familiar surroundings make a big difference, especially for cats and older pets who do best in their own environment. I handle everything from feeding and walks to grooming and cuddle time, so your home stays in order and your pet stays happy. Either way, you can count on updates and peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in experienced, caring hands.

About: I don’t have a lifetime of experience, but I love dogs. This is the new adventure for me to work with others. Dogs and I am so looking forward to it. I work part time so I can make myself available for overnights walking if they just need let out for the day, etc. sorry no aggressive dogs I am not able to take my dogs to others houses. I have two that are very friendly, but I have one that is not. I don’t have a fence so I have to take my dogs for walks or to the dog park.

“Shemoy did amazing with the pups, and really saved me after a last minute cancellation. Always on time and took lots of pictures. My dogs, who can sometimes be judgey, took to liking Shemoy right away. Definitely recommended as a sitter/walker!”
