and Pet Care Services

how it works

Get In Touch

New around here? Fill out our contact form to apply and we will reach out within 48 hours. If we are a good fit for one another, we will send you a link to set up a profile in our pet care software and schedule a time to meet you and your pup. Our services are in high demand, so plan accordingly! It's never too early to reach out.

Meet Our Team

Prior to your first service, a member of our management team will come to your home to meet you and your dog(s), review your profile with you, answer any questions, and get you set up with a lockbox if you don't have one. We want to get to know you, and for you and your dog to get to know us!

Book Online

Request dog walking services from your phone or computer. We offer pet care 365 days a year between 8AM and 8:30PM. Set up a reoccurring schedule with us, or book as needed! From potty breaks to Structured Walk + Train sessions, we have plenty of service options to keep your dog happy, healthy, and enriched.

Receive Pupdates

Our Pet Professionals will keep you updated via text message when we are on the way to your home, while out with your pup, and when we leave including REAL-TIME photos and videos of our adventure. We take communication very seriously around here!

Experience

We are proud to be Baltimore's only pet care company with bonded and insured employees (not independent contractors!). We hire, train, and manage our team to be the very best in the field and to uphold our high level of standard in everything we do. Our team members go through extensive, ongoing dog handling training and continuing education, are competent with a wide variety of training tools, and are experienced professionals in the pet field. This is not a hobby... it is our career!

Be a Part of Something Bigger

When you join the Dogs of Charm City Family, you become part of our active community of dog lovers in Baltimore and become a part of our mission to make Baltimore a more dog-friendly place. We are proud to fund city-wide initiatives like the Dogs of Charm City Verified Project, fundraise for causes we care about, and give back to the city we love . See what our clients have to say about the community that we've built.

Above and Beyond Communication

Experience real-time text message communication every step of the way from our team. We send a minimum of four text messages and three photos/videos while with your dog so that you know exactly how our visit went (and so you can show off your dog to your coworkers). It's no wonder why we are the highest-rated dog walkers in Baltimore.

Services For Every Dog

Our goal is to be your all-in-one Pet Care Provider and provide your dog with a schedule that keeps them socialized, exercised, and happy. From Structured Walks and Off-Leash Pack Adventures to Staycations & Pet Transportation services, we strive to offer services for every dog and cat owner.

Reliability

Our employees are active members of the Baltimore Dog Community and are here for you 365 days a year. It pains us to see so many pet parents left stranded without pet care after falling victim to trusting a total stranger on a dog care app (we're not afraid to say it)! We pride ourselves on 100% reliability for confirmed pet care visits. Your pet is family.

day train camp

We offer 2 and 3 week day train programs where your dog works with us M-F during working hours to train with us (much like school!) and will spend the evenings and weekends back in your home. No two dogs are the same, and goal setting for your dog and lifestyle are discussed in-depth prior to any of our training programs. We believe that training owners is just as important as training dogs, and all training programs include hands on sessions with owners throughout the program where we teach you the skills required to upkeep with training and continue building upon skills taught so that you can foster the very best version of your dog. Programs also include an in-home follow up session.

Examples of Skills We Work On:

Leash Manners
Calm Mindset
General Obedience (sit, down, come)
Thresholds
Impulse control and ignoring distractions
Confidence building
Intro to Recall
Reactivity (3 week program)
Separation Anxiety (3 week program)

Who This Program is For:

Busy owners who need a partner to kickstart or build upon their foundational training
Owners who understand that dog training is not a quick fix, and are dedicated to maintaining and up-keeping training
Dogs with no major dog or human reactivity (we can direct you to one of our training partners!)

Day train programs start at $2000

private sessions

Our private 1:1 dog training sessions are great for owners looking to address specific behavior issues. We work with you AND your dog, together, teaching you how to maintain structure and upkeep training within the home. We schedule times where you are available and have sessions together both inside and outside the home based on your goals. Custom Private Packages start at $500

Leash walking bootcamp

Our most popular program, available exclusively to Dogs of Charm City dog walking clients. Leash manners are undoubtedly the number one skill Baltimore City dog owners ask for help with. Leash walking skills (engagement with owner, slack on the leash) not only keep you feeling in control, but keep your dog safe! In our Leash Walking Bootcamp, we work with your dog 1:1 during their normal walk time, and incorporate sessions with you to teach you how to upkeep training for safe and happy walking! $700 for 10 sessions
