Dog Walkers in Winfield, MD

“I can’t recommend Kristen enough! From the very first meeting, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She is always punctual, reliable, and great at communicating—sending updates and photos that give me total peace of mind while I’m away. I’ve noticed such a positive difference in my dog’s mood and behavior since we started working with her, he comes back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised every time. It’s such a relief knowing my dogs are in safe, caring, and capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do, this is the person to choose. Five stars all the way!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have previous work experience at a kennel. Most importantly, I am certified in pet CPR and First Aid. I am currently a college student, so my summer is completely free for all your animals. If you would like to schedule a meeting with me beforehand let me know! I have a 3 acre yard with an invisible fence. My neighborhood is a very nice place to take walks in. I also believe your pets should be comfortable, so if I come to your home I will make sure to take care of everything.

“What a great experience using Natalie to care for my dog Daisy!”

About: My life is catered towards animals. I work as a Canine Coach at a local small business where I guide up to 60 dogs to have a fun and safe day each day. With my own animals I love hiking, various dog sports, adventures and training for fun. I have fostered numerous puppies for a local rescue and trained them until they found their forever homes. I rescued my own dog and helped him build his confidence, he was extremely fearful even afraid of me and he has blossomed in my care. I currently work at a doggy care but always time to look after your pets. I usually work in the morning so I check in with your pets when I wake up then a few more times after work. My roommate is always home so your pets are never truly alone when boarding with me. I will follow any and all instructions you provide so don’t hesitate to ask. No request is too big and I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is perfectly cared for.

About: Ive been taking care of my neighbors, friends, and families pets for a little over 6 years now. Over the years I have learned many things about pets and how to calm them down and gently direct them in the right path. I also have lots of experience with senior dogs who need more attention to detail than younger dogs. Pet care fits into my daily routine quite well. Im a sophomore at frederick community college taking only one in person class, so my hours are almost always completely available! I am the dominant pet care taker in my home with two dogs (my angels). I care for pets in my clients home by greeting them and let them get to know me. If the client has a fenced in yard for me to take the dogs out and play thats amazing, but if not I take the dogs for nice walk to get them exercise and some entertainment. I am all for following directions so just let me know what you need and ill handle it!

About: I have experience working in a doggy daycare/boarding kennel for over a year, where I played with, loved on, fed, and took extremely attentive care of over 100 dogs a day. I also have dog-sat for the same two families multiple times every year since 2020. I am a college student who is at home for the summer! I am available at all or anytime you need me, unless I have a prior arrangement which I will communicate to all clients if need be! Just reach out and I’ll let you know! 😉 In my home, I have two dogs who I am constantly paying attention to, caring for and giving a lot of love to. And other people’s homes I keep an eye on all of the dogs that I take care of, and tend to never let them out of my sight (I also make sure they get all the loving as I would my own dogs). I love to play with dogs and get all of their energy out so when families get home they don’t have much work to do. and other people’s homes I also keep a very tidy space and leave every place cleaner than I found it!

“Just in the few walks we've scheduled with Lin, I can already tell she's the best dog walker we've ever had. Our dog looks forward to their walks together! I've also noticed how much better our dog walks on leash with us - she's not pulling as much.”

About: We are dog lovers who have loved providing a safe home away from home for our clients since May 2019. Lindsay grew up with a dog from the age of 10 until she moved out of her parents' home and is accustomed to the care, love, and energy needed to make a dog feel at home. For the last decade, she's often been entrusted with the care of family members' and friends' dogs when they've been on vacation. Our home is large, with plenty of room for a larger dog to feel comfortable, 3.5 acres of wooded land for us to go on trail walks, and a safe, friendly neighborhood for street walks. We also have a fenced-in yard, so dogs who don’t do well or enjoy walking on a leash now have a safe, secure option for exercise and play time in our yard! We have a 5-year-old pup of our own who loves playmates, and she looks forward to meeting your fur babies! We are currently home full-time Monday-Friday to be able to give your dogs the full attention they need, whether for drop-ins, walks, boarding while you’re away, or doggy day care while you work or have appointments to tend to. We have a fenced-in yard with room for your dog to run. We have a crate available if needed, as well as a separate in-law suite if your dog needs some separation or quiet time from our energetic pup.

About: Hi! I’m Victoria , a dedicated dog lover with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether your pup loves energetic playtime, calm cuddles, or structured routines, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am currently a stay at home mom for seven dogs of my own, I have plenty of time on my hand to take care of your animals whenever you need me to stop by. I would take care of your pets, as I would take care of mine, I treat your pets like I treat mine, they are important to me. I care about them very much, and I would never let anything happen to them.

About: I have always had dogs and cats growing up, which peaked my interest in animal care. In high school I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding kennel and gained an internship at the local veterinary office. now in college, I am studying animal science to hopefully get a degree in veterinary medicine, and continue to pet sit for my friends and family including both cats and dogs. I'm currently home from college for the summer, and home most of the time! I do have a car, and am available almost any time of the day. I have pets in my home that are not socialized, so I would not be able to pet sit in my own home, but I am happy to make the trip to the comfort of their own home.

About: I currently have 4 cats and 2 dogs. One of my dogs deals with leash reactivity and I have spent extensive time with trainers to get him to a good place. My other dog is just out of puppy hood and doing wonderfully. I am used to managing a house with a variety of animals and have experience with all sorts of pet temperaments. I have pet sit for friends in the past. 2 of my cats require daily medication and I am familiar with administering pills and shots to cats. My long term goal is to become a professional dog trainer. I am using Rover as an opportunity to work with more dogs and get some additional experience. I work from home, so I have flexibility to take care of your pets as needed. I’ll make sure your dog is walked or your cat is cuddled, whatever you need! I will treat your pets like my own. For dogs I follow a positive reinforcement based training style, so I will be sure to treat your dogs with kindness and respect. With cats, I am well aware how shy some can be. I will take my time getting to know them and give them the attention they need. I know how stressful it can be to find someone trustworthy to take care of your pets. I hope to take some of this stress away from you!

About: I have 15 years experience working as a veterinary technician at cat and dog hospitals. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I can administer medication and assist with mobility, if necessary. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to meeting you! I live in Mount Airy, MD and my schedule is very flexible and open. I can assist your pet week days, week nights, and weekends! I have a lovely ten year old daughter who is also an animal lover and very gentle. She may accompany me on visits, but we can discuss that on a case by case basis.

About: I have had dogs since I was 5, and I started working at a doggy daycare when I was 18. My senior year of highschool I was an intern at a local animal hospital and I loved it! I would love to spend the summer with your dogs and provide whatever services and help you may need! I am currently unemployed for the summer, so I can spend any time needed with your dogs. I have applied for jobs, so if my availability changes you will be notified but as of right now I am free to do anything. I have a huge (not fenced in) backyard. Since working at the doggy daycare, I have experience in helping dogs into crates, doing specific food for the dogs, attending to their personal needs, and making sure they have hours of entertainment and love.

About: I have 2 German Shorthaired Pointers a lab puppy & 2 guinea pigs. I’ve been in the Vet Med field for 3 years. I currently I’m in school doing an online Vet Tech degree program. I am currently doing online school and have a very laid back lifestyle, so I am available to take care of pets when you need it most. I do home visits, walks and overnight care at your place. I do not care for your pets at my place, nor do I bring my pets to your place. I also have experience with Hamsters, Guinea pigs, Horses Chickens and Chinchillas.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years—both my own and through my professional pet sitting work. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pups, including energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra patience. I also have personal experience caring for an injured dog (my own had a CCL tear last summer), so I understand how important it is to be gentle, keep walks controlled, and watch for any limping or discomfort. During visits, I make sure your dog gets a safe walk, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of love—plus photo updates and a detailed visit note so you always know how things went. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits. I’m also available for last-minute requests when needed, including weekends and holidays. Safety is my top priority. I always follow pet parent instructions closely and keep routines consistent. For walks, I use a waist leash/leash belt so your pup is securely attached to me the entire time—this helps keep both your pet and me safe. I’m careful around doors and gates, double-check locks before leaving, and I send updates with notes and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
