Dog Walkers in Woodwind Estates, MD

“Was searching for a walker very last minute and I could not have been luckier to have been able to get Jake to care for my dog! I felt so secure and comfortable with him in his care and he was so responsive and kind, and I will surely be looking him up well in advance of my next trip so I have a good chance of being able to have him walk my little guy again! Thank you so very much, Jake!!!”

“Maria is an amazing dog walker! She was incredibly helpful when I was sick, even coming on late notice to make sure my dog got the walks he needed. She’s responsible, communicative, and truly cares about the pets she works with. I’m so grateful for her help and highly recommend her!”

About: I am a stay at home mom to 2 girls, ages 4 and 5 and we recently moved to the area! My husband is in the Navy. We live in a townhouse in North Beach, MD. I have a cat that can be timid with new animals, and tends to hide until he feels more comfortable. I would love to help out with your furry family members! I hate when I have to be away from mine so I would give them tons of love so they feel comfortable and at home while you are away. I am available for all needs except for pet sitting in your home, since I have kiddos that need me at my home. Please let me know if I can help you out in any way! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. I am with my girls a lot this summer but they would LOVE to accompany me on visits with your pet! I will have a lot more independent time this fall once they start school. We do not have a fenced in yard but I would be happy to do as many walks as needed for your pup! Our cat can be weary with new animals but he hides and then warms up quickly.

About: I’ve had pets and cared for animals since I was a kid. I appreciate the need to know your pet is being cared for when you are not available. My wife is a teacher so she is available all summer and holidays. I have the ability to telework given enough notice. We’ll do what we can to make sure your pet gets the care they need. We crate our dog while not home so I can take care of that if necessary. Our kids love animals and would be willing to come with me to get your pet some exercise and interaction!!

About: I've been a dog owner for over 20 years and was a foster parent for a San Diego based rescue group for over 3. I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s pets all my life and am happy to take that experience and apply it as I care for your pets. I have a very flexible schedule, regarding time and days of the week. I am willing to work with each client individually and am happy to further discuss over a meet and greet. The safety of the pets I care for is of the utmost importance. Your trust (as well as theirs) and peace of mind are crucial for a well working relationship.

About: Never met a dog that didn’t love me! I’ve owned dogs all my life until now. (Renting, and owner doesn’t allow 😕). Dogs of any size or temperament are fine. You can trust that I will be on time and treat them as if they were my own! I work nights so I’m available most of the day (8:30am-2:30pm on days I work and any time on my off days, usually Mon and Tues I realize all dogs are different, so any specific instructions for your pet will be followed to the T. You can rest assured that I will be patient and caring with your family member!

“Absolutely hope to use Beth again for my doggos Gonzo and Charlie. Beth took both dogs on a 1 hour walk through the ACLT for me while I was out of town so that they got some good fresh air and burned some energy. She was super communicative with pictures and updates. Gonzo is reactive and so it can be a big challenge walking the two dogs at once, but she managed like a pro. I knew they were safe and having fun with her, which is all a dog mom could ask for. Thank you Beth!!!!”

About: I've been around animals all my life, and care for every single one that comes across my path. I have 4 animals so far that are living healthy and happy, and regularly babysit my neighbor's animals for weeks at a time. I wake up every day to my cat, and I want to extend that love to more animals who need that care when their owners are a little busy! It comes as a second nature to me, and I think about how my animals might be impacted by the actions I make, for example: I can never leave drinks on the counter anymore because my cat learned she likes coffee. Not anymore of course! I respect boundaries of animals and owners alike, whether that be physical such as a room not to enter or mental such as a certain word that an animal doesn't like to hear. If I am provided with rules I will follow them like a mantra.

I’m a stay at home mom for the most part. I do work two days a week as a caregiver. I’m currently only working outside of my home part time. Two days a week as a caregiver. I’m a full time mom to my 10 year old son and of course, Buddy and Lucy ;-) I have a fenced in yard and two friendly fur babies of my own that yours can play with. I have a doggie door so they can go out as they wish to potty, just to go get some fresh air or sniff around for fun. I can also easily crate your dog if wanted/needed.

“Audrey was wonderful and patient while taking care of walking our beloved but deeply willful terrier when we left her with our elderly mother. My mother had nothing but wonderful things to say. Audrey really cares about animals and is just a sweet person. We plan to hire her again.”

About: Kind, patient caretaker with a psych degree and years of dog experience. Comfortable with all ages, breeds, and energy levels as well. Loving chocolate lab mom! My schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Weekends and weekdays are both open- I'll work around your pet's need! Your pet's safety and comfort come first. I respect your home, follow all routines, and create a calm, loving environment. Trust and care you can count on in your home

About: I've helped raise puppies. I've had a dog of my own my whole life. Friends leave their pups with me while they go away, or when they need help potty or crate training. I cannot currently watch pets in my home but I can care for your pet in the comfort of your home. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate taking care of your pet(s) as needed around my own day to day responsibilities. I will take care of your pet as you regularly do. Are they crated while you're away? They'll be crated if I'm not there. Or do they only feel safe in certain rooms or need a "safety toy"? I'm make sure they have what they need to be as calm and happy as can be while you're away.

About: I trained young animals, and took care of them at my local animal shelter at home. I’ve had multiple pets throughout my life, and know exactly how to take care of their needs and wants. I love to walk and have fulfillment time! My range of pet care fluctuates in any age, from puppies to elderly. I can provide any medications or special requests for your loved pet! I’m currently a flight student at Embry-Riddle and on the women’s lacrosse team. Currently, I only fly in the mornings until 9:00. I’m free all day any day, and my schedule is super flexible! I know how to accommodate pet needs for each type of animal in need. I ensure they get proper exercise, nutrition, and fulfillment time to provide the best experience for them!

About: For as long as I can remember, I have had animals in my life & have helped take care of them. From a young age, I helped my parents take care of our cats & dogs by being responsible for feeding them & making sure they have access to clean water. As I entered elementary school, I helped my parents take care of our neighbors pets while they were out of town & then eventually took over these responsibilities on my own. Most of my expereince throughout elementary, middle & high school involved pet sitting for cats as those are the animals most of my neighbors & extended family members had. However, during my first summer in college I began working for my county's humane society! My county's humane society only rescues & houses dogs. My employment with the humane society gave me the opportunity to work with a variety of different dogs as you can imagine. I now have expereince working with & caring for dogs of all breeds, ages & temperment. During my time with the humane society, I developed special skills including taking care of puppies, caring for senior dogs, & interacting with dogs who have temperment quirks. I have worked for the humane society for 4 years & during this time animal rescue & care has truly become my greatest passion. I look forward to applying the expertise I have acquired when it comes to taking care of your furry family members! I just recently graduated from college & am now back home for a few months before I start my career. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time & flexibility when it comes to caring for your animals. I will make the most of the areas you have accessible to your pets when caring for them. My work at the humane soceity gave me valuable training when it comes to recognizing & responding to emergencies if they were to arise.

About: I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I have assisted my daughters in caring for others pets to ensure they are well taken care of and loved like our own. My summer availability is open and flexible: As a current school employee I won’t be working from June 14 - end of August when school starts again. I will make sure your pets are well cared for with feedings, walks and loving attention. I will communicate with pet owners for reassurance on how visits are going.
