Hi my name is Hunter! I'm an animal lover and pet owner myself. I know our pets are family and how important it is to make sure they're taken care of. I've had dogs in my home since as long as I can remember and know how to give them the love and respect they deserve. I've worked office jobs and long hour days, so I understand the need for a reliable person to be there. I would be happy and honored to get to care for your pup, big or small, old or young!

“I'll care for your dog like my own!”
Hi, I'm Sandy! I live in Montgomery Village, MD, and will be walking dogs in the Gaithersburg/Rockville/Germantown area. I've been a volunteer at the MDSPCA for 22 years, so I have a LOT of experience with dogs. I've volunteered in the kennel, wellness clinic, spay/neuter clinic, and I currently volunteer in the exam room, so I've handled all kinds of dogs in all kinds of situations, and I know how to keep them calm and remove stress from new situations. I look forward to walking your dog!

“A Dogmatic Experience=A Doggilicious Walk”
My love for dogs stems from my early childhood when my family adopted a Lhasa Apso. I have a longtime passion and love for all animals. After losing my family pet recently, I decided to do what I love most and walk dogs. I'm very excited to be a part of Wag! and look forward to caring for your pet.

I have been a dog-owner (my border-collie, J.J.) and dog-sitter as a teenager for many personal and family friends in the Baltimore County area. After graduating college in 2013, I began a recurring dog-walk arrangement with an old roommate for both a recently rescued German Shepherd (Storm) and a Yorkie (Stella), and have been happily working as a professional dog-walker and sitter ever since. I love meeting new dogs and making them happy with walks, playing, running, feeding, and having fun!

“Experienced and Excited to Meet New Furry Friends!”
Hi my name is Taylor and I am an artist. For most of my life I’ve grown up with animals. My love for animals even inspired me to stop eating meat and made my love for them grow immensely. My love for dogs began with my chow chow Shinu as well as when I aided my nana in rescuing her cocker spaniel Buster and throughout the years witnessed him become a loving dog who reciprocates the love poured into him. I guarantee to treat your dogs with nothing but respect, love, and companionship!

“Experienced, caring, and highly skilled pet owner”
The first dog I ever had was when I was 6 months old and we were best friends for 13 short years. Due in part to my love for all animals I spent many years in the 4-H program and even spent time in dog obedience. I specialize in teaching low-level tricks (paw, kiss, hug, etc) and improving socialization. I'm also trained in emergency first aid (both pet and human) and have experience with stray/aggressive dogs. I'd love to meet your 4 legged friend and see how I could help you with them!

“They call me the dog whisperer all dogs welcome”
I am a responsible caring dog walker and sitter with 15+ years of experience. I will treat all dogs as if they were my own and give them all the love and cuddles they can handle while also being stern when neccesary. I have been called a dog whisperer because i havent really met a dog that didnt like me and most warm up to me almost immediately. If you choose me as your walker i will give your dog the best experience possible and i look forward to meeting and bonding with your companions.
