Dog Walkers in Zion Acres, MD

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs and three years of hands-on training in animal science at TCHS, I provide expert care in walking, feeding, grooming, and administering medications. Currently, I apply these skills daily at a local kennel, ensuring every pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I currently work part-time at Vixen Hall Kennels. My schedule changes weekly, but I’m flexible with hours and can easily accommodate different times. I’m also willing to get up early or stay up late if needed to ensure your pets receive the best care at any time of day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain their pets' routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication. I’m committed to providing personalized care and always prioritize the well-being of each animal, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away.

About: Rescued my Staffordshire Terrier / Mastiff mix when she was almost four and worked with a trainer to have her become my service dog. I had an amazing seven years with her until a brain tumor forced us to say goodbye. I spent 2021-2022 volunteering weekly at a rescue handling puppies, walking them and helping socialize them. In 2022 I adopted a five month old Rottweiler/pitbull mix puppy from Kansas. He is high energy and tecently completed his Begining manners obedience class. I'm enjoying training him, and when the end of the day comes he is a joy to cuddle up on the couch with and watch some tv. When conducting g drop ins I pay attention to details like how much ffod/water ate in the bowl, consistency and color of bowel movements and any other factors that I think may effect the overall health and well-being of your furry family member. Of course there is always time allowed for pets, snuggles, and wet puppy kisses. As a boarder I only take one dog at a time. Our guest "furry friend"- your dog, will have they own guest crate in my room, which is an efficiency suite in my parents basement. Your dog will have my dog to play with, get plenty of cuddle time on the couch when I watch TV, and the guest crate is only 10 feet from my bed, so we are all together. We live on 2 unfenced acres, so there is a lot of fun yard to run around in and play with my dog in during the day. I am currently not working a traditional job. As a result my time is flexible and other than my commitment to a number a regulars I do drop ins for, my schedule is pretty flexible. I prefer caring for pets in their own home as this is where they are most comfortable. I'm the new unknown factor. As much as I can keep to their typical routine and environment the more at ease I feel your pet will be.

“I was very happy with Megan. My buddy Dante the dog was very happy with Megan. She was always on time and very communicative. She helped Dante learn to walk on a leash. She would still be walking Dante if my situation had not changed.”

“Jack is awesome at caring for our large breed dog, Titus. We adopted a puppy in June and were nervous about leaving him home all day once school hours returned in August. Having the peace of mind from Jack’s updates and photos from daily walks put us at ease. Jack is a natural with dogs, and he knew what questions to ask right away. It did not matter that Titus was 50 pounds at only 4 months old. Jack did great with Titus on leash walks and backyard play. Titus loves every visit. The communication has been stellar. I highly recommend Jack for your dog sitting/dog walking needs.”
