Dog Walking Woodleaf

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I carry my own premium Pet Care/Liability Insurance for your peace of mind. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.

“Nautica was great ! She took her time to really get to know Styles and it showed during her care. She went to his favorite parks and even bought him a toy!! The pictures were so cute, I could see his excitement through the pictures !! I also appreciated her willingness to give food and water and clean up the mess my other pets made.”

“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!”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND….All of the things you want while you are away to relax from your responsibilities with your pets. My high energy girls are entertained, exercised, and pampered until they don’t want me to come home! Feel confident leaving your pet in their care.”

“Ryan was so attentive and went above and beyond for our leash-reactive pup on their twice-daily walks. He made us feel comfortable leaving the country and leaving our dog in someone else’s care.”

“Julian is great with my baby Sully! Sully is very stubborn (but also very sweet!). Julian has been patient with him and very caring. He has done a wonderful job! We will continue to use him for our walks! Thank you Julian!!!”

About: I am a local environmental science student with extensive experience in professional pet and house sitting. Having grown up with dogs and cats, I have provided dependable care for repeat clients since the age of 12. I would welcome the opportunity to care for your animals and can provide references upon request. I am a local college student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to commit to various shifts. I am generally available to work during evenings and on weekends. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my availability aligns with your current needs. Caring for my own two dogs led me to discover a passion for working with animals, and I am now seeking opportunities to gain professional experience as I pursue a career in this field. To ensure both you and your pets are comfortable, I typically offer a pre-visit to meet in person. This allows us to discuss your specific care instructions and ensures you are confident in my services as a caretaker.

About: Hello! I am Camryn F., I am currently a veterinary assistant at a 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 5 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 :)

“Thank you Audrey! You are the best. Taina liked you very much, we felt very comfortable having you pick her up and spend time with her while we were out. It was a pleasure meeting you. You have a great personality, very responsible and kind. Thank you once again and we hope to count with your services in the future. Have a great summer time!! Sincerely, The Maldonado Family!”

About: I've always been very passionate about animals and caring for them ever since I was little, I've been around most of my life around dogs, I had two dogs labrador and a beagle. I´m a very friendly bubbly person, I love providing engaging activities and play to see our furry friends live their best lives. I have joined Rover because I have a flexible schedule for me to keep studying and playing with dogs outside, help with a playful environment. Please let me know if your pet needs any special treatments or accommodations to ensure your pet's comfort. I have no breed preferences I love all kinds of domestic animals.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, including both large and small dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets such as lizards and hamsters. I currently have two Shih Tzus who are a very important part of my family. I have been caring for and pet-sitting dogs and cats since my teenage years and have extensive experience handling animals of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. In addition, I have veterinary experience and currently work at an animal hospital, which has given me valuable knowledge in animal care, behavior, and well-being. I am passionate about providing attentive, reliable care and would love the opportunity to help with dog walking, pet sitting, or caring for your pets while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work at an animal hospital in Reisterstown four days per week, Monday through Thursday. While I have a regular work schedule, I am available to walk and care for your pets before work, during my breaks, and after work on those days. I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care and will work with you to accommodate your pet’s needs as best as possible. My schedule is very flexible. I am a trustworthy and dependable caregiver who is prepared to handle a variety of situations with professionalism and care. With training and experience in animal handling and health, I am committed to ensuring your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. Most importantly, I will treat your pet with the same love, attention, and compassion that I would give my own.

About: I've volunteered at my local animal shelter since I was 11 years old! When I turned 16, I was able to socialize with cats at the shelter, and when I turned 18, I started walking dogs at the shelter. Now I am certified to walk dogs of any difficulty level! These dogs range from puppies to seniors and some have had various behavioral challenges that I navigated safely and respectfully. I pride myself on my developed knowledge of animal behavior to continue to be a pet concierge for clients. I'm currently working part-time as a bartender, so I am very flexible to fit pet care into my schedule. If a client is more than 20 minutes from my residence, I prefer to do overnight care with the pet(s) to ensure they're getting the socialization and adequate care they deserve. I always ask the clients what their pet needs in all aspects of pet care, including medications, enrichment methods (treats, toys, Kongs), walk frequency and duration, feed time, and amount of food. The client always knows their pet best, so I base my care on their recommendations. I also always take pictures of the pet(s) and send them to the client to keep them posted on how the pet(s) are doing!
